You can set your brake up so the normal riding adjustment has the caliper barrel adjuster decently 'out' or unscrewed. Open brake QR, screw barrel adjuster 'in' to gain some clearance, then remove wheel, repeat for re-install. You'll have to try it out and see if it provides enough clearance

Leah, I hate to break this to you but they used the picture for the dog and not the Betty. Ok, maybe it goes, dog, you then betty :) super cute picture! On Monday, December 7, 2015 at 6:07:48 PM UTC-5, LeahFoy wrote: > > I didn't even know about this, but apparently my photo was snapped and

[RBW] Re: Betty, Rumpkins, fenders

Thanks to everyone for the feedback. I decided to give her the pari-motos off of my Saluki and ride her Rumpkins for awhile. But after removing the Rumpkins, with great effort, I decided to buy a new set of pari-motos for myself. I don't need bullet proof tires. Since retiring and doing

[RBW] Re: Betty, Rumpkins, fenders

I have those cream SKS 45s on my Sam with side pulls and running Little Bens . I admit it's a tight fit. I hear gravel pieces scraping the fender at times and even get large leaves stuck. Most of the times it's okay. But the cream matches the lugs and I like the looks of them. . -- You

Where did you find the Pari-moto for $32. Soma lists them for $65 Tires Direct for $59. I have them on my Saluki like them. Michael On Monday, April 20, 2015 at 2:45:05 PM UTC-4, Sky Coulter wrote: Don't know the precise measurements, but there is a comfortable margin w hetres and an

[RBW] Re: Betty, Rumpkins, fenders

FWIW, I have a 650b Sam with the silver sidepulls, but the clearances should be similar to your Betty. I ran the Rumpkins with the crème P45 Longboards for a while but the fit was very tight. I switched to the new P50 Longboards and used Sheldon's fender nuts and got a much better fit with

[RBW] Re: Betty, Rumpkins, fenders

Emilia, my wife, rides a Betty with 50mm 650b Berthoud fenders and ~37mm Col de la Vies. I know many run these fenders with Hetres on other bikes and assume they would work well together on the Betty, but we haven't tried it. -Oliver On Sunday, April 19, 2015 at 6:13:10 PM UTC-7, Michael

[RBW] Re: Betty, Rumpkins, fenders

Thanks, that's helpful and I agree about the cream fenders on a Betty. How wide are the hetres? They are listed at 41, same as the Rumpkins? Michael On Monday, April 20, 2015 at 12:24:22 AM UTC-4, Sky Coulter wrote: my wife's betty has sks 45mm w hetres. I filed the bracket mounting slot

[RBW] Re: Betty, Rumpkins, fenders

Don't know the precise measurements, but there is a comfortable margin w hetres and an uncomfortable one w the rumpkins. But if you want more clearance the pari motos for 32 bucks are quite nice. I can't really tell much of a difference between them and the hetres. -- You received this

Re: [RBW] Re: Betty Foy models in Title Nine

It makes sense that Title Nine would use Betties in their ads. A Betty rider would be a likely Title Nine customer. -- Anne, not a Betty rider, but I do wear Title Nine clothing while riding my Atlantis. On Aug 10, 2014, at 10:21 PM, lungimsam john11.2...@gmail.com wrote: That one looks

Re: [RBW] Re: Betty Foy models in Title Nine

I have been enjoying the bike infusion into Title 9 catalogs for years, I did notice that cool mixtie, but did not notice it was a betty. Pretty cool. See my thoughts on the great Title 9-Athlete fat bike battle of ought-12:

Re: [RBW] Re: Betty Foy models in Title Nine

Tarik, I believe the PhD models moved to Betabrand. That said, I do like Title Nine clothing, and find it comfortable. My only problem is that they often have a tendency to have the floral curliques or paisley or other girly designs added on much of their otherwise-sensible clothing. I know,
