[RBW] Re: Tool Tip - How To Undo Chain Masterlinks?

Wait 500 miles, then they're easy to remove, wear is your friend. When installing a new SRAM chain, use the old master link to figure out chain length. Once you are happy with the chain length, use the new link. Take the old link and tape it to business card and put in your saddle bag. -- You re

The Nitto M-12 front rack is a 5-10min to instal/remove on my Ebisu All Purpose, so it is possible to engineer these things to fit easily. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To view this discussion on the web visit https://gro

I'll be there on a yellow Ebisu All Purpose, my friend Ron on a green QuickBeam* *just kidding, orange Ram Note on the Hilly higher ups indicated the roads were in "rough" shape, compared to the rather lumpy Indiana roads we were riding at the time. May be a good ride to try out your new Jack Br

[RBW] Re: Why no Atlantis double TT?

I had a 61cm Gen 1 Atlantis, never noticed a lack of stiffness or unplanned planning in that bike. ;-) I do like the looks of the Ant bike Truss model, very cool. http://antbikemike.wordpress.com/bicycle-catagories/truss-bike/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Goo

Re: [RBW] Re: Lights for a Schmidt SON28?

I used the Cyo in moderate rain with no problem, haven't tried it in the snow. The skewer end mount setup makes the wheel, light and mount one piece, easy to move from bike to bike, no wires to disconnect. I used to used to setup a dedicated night bike for each winter, being able to swap the lig

Re: [RBW] Freewheel hypothetical

I use Benelux derailers, they don't like 28s, so a 13-26 5 speed would be good. A 14-26 4 speed would be nice for the older bikes, 4 & 3 speed freewheels are very hard to find. A 5 speed 120oln Shimano style cassette hub would be cool, high flange, great for 'stand off scale' restorations. --
