Should also add saddle and knee position for the bike and riding position are equally important. Usually the more upright the ride, the farther back and lower you need the saddle. On Saturday, June 3, 2017 at 9:06:26 AM UTC-5, Ron Mc wrote: > > I'll throw in my ideas, Deac.

[RBW] Re: Exploding Tires

Still probably a pinch flat, but yes, the tire in the sun could have increased the pressure to open the pinch wider. With Challenge tires as the bead stretches, I've had a couple happen while rolling as the day warmed up. One day on a greenway, the guy whose house backed up to the path came t

[RBW] Re: Exploding Tires

for me it was always on Challente open tubulars (maybe a 3 or 4 times total). I haven't had it happen in 5 years and my tire-mounting algorithm now includes lowering the tire pressure below 20 psi, until I can push the bead in and see rim strip. I go all the way around the tire on both sides

ps - on my other bike I have moustache bars, and I'm a total fan, but they have to be set up right and you have to put your hands in the right places. On Wednesday, January 18, 2017 at 3:02:33 PM UTC-6, Ron Mc wrote: > > I have the wider version of the Jitensha bars, Ahear

Re: [RBW] Re: Albastache more comfortable than the original road Moustache?

I have the wider version of the Jitensha bars, Ahearne Map bars - they're only longer in the grip section - otherwise, the shape is identical. After about 100mi, I had the bar rotation perfect for completely relaxed hands, no matter long the ride. Really like them. On Tuesday, January 17, 2

I have Crane Karen on 5 bikes. They all come coated, but the lacquer essentially evaporates away. The more you rub them, and the more time they spend in the elements, the sooner it goes. On Monday, January 16, 2017 at 11:22:24 AM UTC-6, George Schick wrote: > > Thanks for all the replies. I
