Re: [RBW] Reverse brake levers - pros, cons?

An option would be to run cross levers backwards in the reverse lever position, then the ends would still be open for barcon use. Scott On Tue, Mar 1, 2016 at 6:45 PM, Lungimsam wrote: > What's your experience? > > Thinking if I ever try an upright bar, would these be better than

Re: [RBW] No bike parking lockable signs? What's going on these days???

tay out of other people's way. Once the store staff see you a few times, it won't be an issue. Just don't make it an issue by bringing in a dirty bike, covered in snow and ice messing up their floors Cheers, Scott On Wed, Feb 24, 2016 at 9:10 AM, Justin August wrote: > No

I'll bet Kevin over at Boulevard Bikes in Logan Square can get them for you. I haven't lived in the city in many years, but he was usually up on this kind of thing. On Tuesday, February 9, 2016 at 5:37:23 PM UTC-6, David Banzer wrote: > > Longshot as they haven't been out too long, and response

[RBW] Re: Segwaying from Garbage Pail Bike thread: pros and cons of CF and Steel?

Call Nick Crumpton, say you want a lifetime road bike that will fit 33mm tires. I think you'll be very pleased with your carbon bike. Downside of carbon is that costs near double a same quality steel bike. Steel vs. Carbon, is the cycling nutters version of the Arian heresy. -- You received t

Wow, myself being very non-metro only wears multi-pack Fruit of the Loom boxer briefs. No way my brain would let me spend more than $15 for an 8 pack. Some of you guys have some fancy nether regions. On Jan 19, 2016 12:18 PM, "Ron Mc" wrote: > my tushie only wants Icebreaker merino wool boxer

I would think that if times and money are as tight as is usually offered in writing, I'd go ahead and keep the money. Pay the staff more if you will, or lower prices but don't just give it away to the homeless. Money can be spent on drugs and booze. Things can be sold to buy drugs and booze. The

I have been using dual monitors for maybe 5 years or so. Both at work and at home. Work is a laptop with an extra monitor. Home is a desktop with two screens. A 17" monitor is pretty small in today's world though. Don't limit yourself to monitors either. I use a 24" monitor and a 32" TV. St

Re: [RBW] PSA: Eroica California early registration

Campy does offer some silver groups, not all of them, but the lower lines (think veloce, athena...) The rest of the spec on that bike is just standard DiaCompe fair. (Think Riv Silver) That specific eroica bike is just a veloce drivetrain with downtube friction shifters. At a crazy price.
