Howdy, all y'all soon-to-be-fellow Hillborne owners! (I'm not suggesting all of you Gentle Readers are Hillborne owners or are about to become so; I'm addressing the existing Hillborne owners among you and indicating that *I* am about to acquire a Sam. Sorry if you got over-jazzed thinking you'd won some sweepstakes or something.)
I'm going to build mine up. So of course I have some questions. (1) Anyone out there using on a Sam the double-legged kickstand RBW sells? Any issues therewith? (2) Anyone using Pitlock seatpost skewer? How'd you make it work? (3) For you 700C-wheeled Sam owners: What if any fenders are you using? What tires? Any installation trickery required? How'd you attach at the fork crown? At the brake bridge?I'm trying to get a feel for the max size that'll work for various brands of both. For example, Berthoud's got those stainless fenders in what he calls 60mm; I'm wondering if those fit a 700C Sam? And what would be the max tire I could use? For the record: I presume/stipulate that plastichromolized SKS fenders (sold by Riv in 35 & 45; also available in 50) fit fine and mount in the normal ways. (4) What size is your BB spindle, if using an XD2? I think RBW indicates a 107. But I'm curious if any self-builders (or anybody) found that too tight. Any info, even quickly jotted and partial, is greatly appreciated. I don't mind doing some trial and error stuff. And I'm sure I will. But I figure somebody might've done some of it for me. Or is just smarter enough to have avoided it. Thanks! Yours, Thomas Lynn Skean -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
