So I must be the only person who had no problem popping the straddle cable out of the CX70 brake with the stock straddle thing. The trick was to pull forward a bit as you pushed down. It helps to have QR at the lever but I can do it without. -Dave J On Saturday, June 4, 2016 at 5:50:41 PM

How difficult was the tubeless set-up with the Barlow Pass tires? Sweet looking rig - I imagine it rides very plush! On Saturday, June 4, 2016 at 4:50:41 PM UTC-5, Bill Lindsay wrote: > I built a road wheelset around the HED Belgium C2 Plus rims, wanting to > get the plumpest tubeless road

Bill, that's a neat workaround. I too have CX-70s on my Atlantis. Love the brakes but same issue with releasing to remove a wheel. Thanks for sharing! Awesome looking Sam too. Love it! Kind regards, Richard On Saturday, June 4, 2016 at 5:50:41 PM UTC-4, Bill Lindsay wrote: > > I built a road

I don't understand. Looks like you just filed off part of the face of the cylinder at the end of the brake cable, and then beveled the edge. Could it work itself free while riding? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To

The plus rims are on my Hillborne. The normal width Belgiums are on my road bike, which is a Black Mountain Cycles. There are no leftover rims for sale, unless somebody wants a set of Matrix branded ceramic rims. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

I stopped using my CX-70's for that reason. Thanks for the mod tip, now I can use them on a future build. The real question for me is do you want to sell those plus rims? I really want to build up some tubeless wheels Thanks! On Saturday, June 4, 2016 at 2:50:41 PM UTC-7, Bill Lindsay
