Re: [RBW] Re: Best dynamo headlight for road riding

Patrick: I like the IQ X. It’s everything you say, and of course half the price of the Edelux. The trade-off is build quality. The Edelux’s front “lens,” for instance, is glass; the IQ X’s is plastic. I’ve never had a problem with my IQ X, but if you’re looking for the very best, most robust li

Re: [RBW] Do you Rapid Rise? (Share pics and thoughts)

Path Less Pedaled just did an entire video episode on Rapid Rise/Low Normal derailleurs that’s definitely worth watching. One point that came up in the comments from viewers is that shifting to lower gears is done entirely through the strength of the spring in the derailleur. Move the shifter t

Re: [RBW] Heat in the Bay

According to local news, temps have been about 15 degrees higher than normal this week in the Sacramento area. Bay Area has been hot too, but usually about 30 degrees cooler than Sacto. That’s why I headed in that direction today to ride—just too hot locally (combined with bad air quality due to

Re: [RBW] moisture in dynamo light - am i screwed?

Justin: Your light is mounted upside down, which may be causing the moisture problem. The two LEDs go at the top. Loosen the bolt holding the light on and rotate it 180 degrees. That might help get the moisture out, if the light body is designed to drain from the bottom. You should see much be

Re: [RBW] moisture in dynamo light - am i screwed?

Or, mount it correctly and sit it out in the sun for a while (keeping close watch over the bike, since you *are* in Brooklyn). See what the moisture situation looks like after it’s had a day to dry out. --Eric Norris campyonly...@me.com Insta: @CampyOnlyGuy YouTube: YouTube.com/CampyOnlyGuy >

Re: [RBW] Phil Wood 700c Single Speed Wheelset - 135/100

FWIW, I used a rear wheel spaced at 135mm for years in a frame spaced at 130mm. Takes a few seconds more to get the wheel in while you pull the dropouts apart a couple of mm on each side. No harm to the frame (a Rivendell Road Standard). I recently switched back to a standard 130mm rear wheel, w

Re: [RBW] Fork Crack!

I would stop riding that bike immediately. Get a new fork—that one looks like it would be very difficult to repair, and a fork is a high-stress item that will generate catastrophic results if it fails while you’re riding. --Eric Norris campyonly...@me.com Insta: @CampyOnlyGuy YouTube: YouTube.
