Re: [RBW] Re: Wald 137 bag recommendations?

That Hungry bag looks pretty nice. Cool to see a company put the straps to secure bag on the basket, which is way simpler and just as effective. The ILE Porteur Rackbag-Small- can also fit in a 137 basket, and has some interesting features. I've been using one with a basket, but find it's

Installing a new plastic piece helped slightly, but not enough. Additional washers on either side also didn't help. Inspecting the lever further it seems the internal ratcheting mechanism is completely worn. The shifter used to be on the right side when I had Choco bars, so it did higher use.

Multiple bikes at NAHBS had similar double top tube bags this year. RBW was ahead of the NAHBS trend! On Mon, Apr 23, 2018 at 9:03 PM, Jeff Lesperance wrote: > That frame bag is so great > > On Mon, Apr 23, 2018 at 8:42 PM, Jon BALER wrote: > >>

I have VAUDE Valdipino Raincoat, Blue, Large, and I'm 6'4" and 225 lbs. Mine has elastic loops in the front for wrists, but I typically hook them over the brake hoods to keep the bar covered. I've also attached them to the bars with velcro loops when riding choco bars/mountain levers. And the

I just got a scout for mt wife to sit on a surly 8 pack rack. It's very small compared to my reload bag. It would not fill a wald basket. -Original Message- From: "Davey Two Shoes" Sent: ‎5/‎30/‎2017 2:31 PM To: "RBW Owners Bunch"

Oops, I meant my rack will be going on my Salsa Marrakesh. Clearing the headset should be doable. You can put spacers behind the tab. My issue was there no way to adjust the caliper brake relative to the rack in the direction I needed. -Original Message- From: "Jon Dukeman,central

Ryan, Did you have 2 questions? You're first message was blank. I'm liking the Choco-norms so far. It's been a change to have a bar with so much rear sweep, as I am used to more aggressive set-ups. I can't say that it is affecting my riding, as I still feel plenty fast on this bike while

Rogue panda is cool, because they only require a photo of the bike with a ruler/tape measure in it. No need to send a pattern by mail. -Original Message- From: "Jeff Lesperance" Sent: ‎12/‎21/‎2016 6:53 PM To: "rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com"

The Simworks rack typically won't clear 700x50 tires, unless your eyelet mount is very high above the axle. I posted some photos with dimensions about a month ago on another thread. On Thu, Oct 20, 2016 at 12:13 AM, Patch T wrote: > I'm in the same boat. Not a bad one to be
