[RBW] Re: Want to buy one or two Technomics

George kindly reminded me that the Tallux is longer quilled so if anyone has that 110 in a Tallux vs regular Technomic I am interested. (Also the internet says it’s stronger, being cold forged) Apologies for the many posts. Liz > On Dec 29, 2022, at 08:53, luckytur...@gmail.com wrote: > > I

Unhelpful to the spin convo but I was pretty disappointed at the lack of grip with the beartrap. They look great but riding in Converse my feet just slip too much. Just traded one of my three sets for a pair of Lambdas. Are the Bubbly pedals grippy?On Dec 9, 2022, at 07:49, Minh wrote:i have the

Re: [RBW] Re: When the Rivs are sold out and you need a bike for daily commuting...

One of my favorite step thru bikes I gaze at online is Chucky Berl’s (Marygold Cyclery) Specialized Hard Rock built up as a upright touring/all-rounder bike. It reminds me of the Bosco Platy and makes me want to build one. > On Nov 13, 2022, at 08:23, Roberta wrote: > >  > Nice! I think mix

Austin City Limits needs valet bike parking like Sacramento Area Bicycle Advocates offers at concerts. I parked a lot of crazy nice bikes at Aftershock this year! No Rivendells on my night though. In context, I ride my Atlantis and lean it on stuff and let it get scratches and dirty, but in the

Re: [RBW] Flyer vs. B67

I have both seats. I prefer the B67 for bolt upright where I’m more back on my butt, and the Flyer goes on my mountain bikes/more lean-over bikes. Flyer is narrower by quite a bit. It’s a B17 with springs. > On Aug 29, 2022, at 10:00, schralp wrote: > > Just joined after purchasing my first

Re: [RBW] Re: Bike rack

I love my 1-Up but it weighs so much. I have two add-ons so we can carry four bikes, and I absolutely can’t keep it all assembled all the time...too heavy and awkward. Also, on my son’s very large bike with rear Blackburn rack, the rack “arm” can’t lock to the wheel on that end. I use a strap in

Re: [RBW] Bike rack

I’m always going to recommend the 1-up rack. Yes it’s very expensive. I finally gave in and bought one because we have such a variety of bike sizes in my household My only gripe is that it’s very heavy. (We do have the heavy duty version because some of the bikes are quite large/long). But I’m v
