Hi David, right! on the Sam it's the Bluelug's version of Bosco Bullmoose, on the SimpleOne it's a (I think) 12cm Tallux. Thinking the Dirtdrop will provide the height and bring the reach back closer to me, keeping around a similar reach as the Bosco. Looking at WhatBars, the Bosco has a longer

[RBW] Choco Dirt Drop question

Wanted to ask if this sounds like a bad idea... I've been thinking about setting up a 8cm Nitto Dirt Drop with Nitto Choco bar. Due to moderate to server joint damage I need to stay in a very upright position. Currently, I have a Bosco on both my Sam and SimpleOne, that said, I like to mix thing

[RBW] Thoughts on the IRD quill stem mount shifter

Wondering anyone has tried out the said quill mount? How was the experience shifting? Did you stick with the quill mount? I'm running bar-ends on a the Bluelug Bullmoose Bosco, and have been giving the quill mount some thought as an alternate solution for shift lever location. I love having th

[RBW] Re: Night riding

To augment my SON, I recently added a Paul Gino mount on my Sam, I then mount the small Cygolite on the Gino, beam pointed ahead close to the front of the wheel. The Cygolite fills in the area up close, while the SON can reach more out in front. Not sure if I love the set-up but, it's fun to try

[RBW] Re: SON Rear Light Brightness?

Just wanted to say, I do love the SON rear light on my Sam, it's nice to know it's there and always on. Not to sound like a salesman for Dinotte, after being hit three times, I went on the search for a good rear light solution. Can't remember how I found out about Dinotte, but I've had one for

Re: [RBW] SON Rear Light Brightness?

I have a SON28, Edelux 2, and the SON rear light mounted on the backside of a Brooks. I don't feel totally safe with just the SON tail light, it's great that it's there, but I def. augment it with something much much stronger, namely a Diontte. I've been knocked off my bike three times in Phill

I totally get this is in process. My initial thoughts seem to be that the "brand" is a bit missing from the site, or maybe it's a bit scattered and broken up. The converted get it and know it and will put up with anything because they love it. But those outside have to dig, thus it's not doing a

You might consider keeping your eyes open for a SimpleOne in your size. I sat on my SO frameset for like 8 years, finally built it out, and love it. It's basically single or two-speed Sam depending on how you set up the drivetrain. They generally seem to go under the radar, not as much love or
