[RBW] Re: Roadeo (Waterford) paint colors

Hi Craig, I recently spent some time on the Waterford site. You can buy white touch-up paint and *I think * red paint. If you scroll down on this page , you can see "Roadeo" clearly marked. I also remember seeing some pages

Re: [RBW] Re: RAGBRAI?

I wonder if it will start close to Omaha this year since it was the northern route last year? A very good friend did it last summer. He got an RV, and his wife drove (and worked remote). He reserved a lot of RV spots that were NOT with the main group. Had a blast, but a couple of those days

Re: [RBW] A College Clem

I've been thinking about this situation a lot. (And thinking back about 20 years to my time in college.) I was from a small town, and went to a large public school. I learned a lot, and a lot of learning is through mistakes. I did lots of dumb stuff, and minus the time I went flying over the

[RBW] Re: FS: 2 Gilles Berthoud Aspin saddles

I sent you a DM on the cork. I like a B17 on my upright bike, but the C17 hasn't worked well on a bike with the saddle a bit higher than the bars- I think I need it to get narrow quickly. In the past, a Brooks Swift worked. Wondering if you (or anyone else) has experiences they'd share. I

I'm pretty sure this search will be met with crickets, but figured I'd ask here before I order. In case anyone wants to get rid of a pair of Paul canti brake levers, I'm looking to buy. (For some reason long-pull brakes were installed on my Homer. My wife has Pauls on her bike. I tried them, it

Re: [RBW] Re: Front Derailleur Suggestions

Thanks all. When the FD was lowered, the chain could not climb up to the big ring. First thing he did was lower it. I tried it myself, when I first got the bike. I just ordered a cx70. If that doesn’t work, I’ll get new VBC or figure something out.Also figured out the brake levers were long pull.

[RBW] Front Derailleur Suggestions

I've been having a heckuva time getting my front derailleur to go from little to big without hopping over. Eventually, if I talked sweetly to it and said Hail Mary three times, it would usually settle. Even took it to an experience mechanic. He also lowered it, then slowly kept raising it up,

Re: [RBW] Pedal Question

I have the EH-500 on my All Road bike. I guess I recently bought it out of habit. I used to have a pair on my ride everywhere bike (which was stolen). I liked how I could hop on and ride to the bars or out with friends, and I could still go on a longer purposeful ride. Haven't used the clip

Re: [RBW] Re: 650b Homer

You all know more than I do. I do like Mile’s thoughts, and I enjoy his bikes. My impression with canti is that the optimal setup is to have the pads contact the rim at a perpendicular angle, or as close to possible. I also thought he talked about getting the angle between cable and arm at 90

Re: [RBW] Re: 650b Homer

Thank you for your suggestions. It is a custom Homer, and it’s a Waterford from about 2014, according to the serial number. It doesn’t have many mounts, actually. I think if i want a rack, I’ll need to use the canti posts. Need to look that up. May be easier to use a frame bag if I need to carry a

Thank you, Bill. I got off the phone with him a bit ago, and he couldn't read the tire sizes (I did ask), but he said the standover was about 33 1/4" on the Ram. And he did say that he thought the bikes were bigger than what the owner would normally ride. (I took this to me traditional
