[RBW] Re: New Sam-haver with rack questions!

I'm fairly certain QBP carries Nitto products if you have credit at your LBS. I'll mention again that Soma's aluminum front rack at around $30 or so would definitely do the trick. Check with your LBS about what other distributors they have. I know mine has accounts with several, some take longe

[RBW] Re: I made my own 10 speed indexed stem shifters

Neat! I've been thinking of trying to something like this for a 1x8 setup on my BMC Monstercross - thinking it'd be a way to switch between single speed and the geared setup. I haven't tried yet, but I was thinking of trying to figure a way to use a bell-mount spacer and a Sunrace 8-speed thumb

[RBW] Re: Clementine Climbs a Mountain

There are pros & cons to every bike, and the pros for one person could be cons for another. I love my Clem because it works wonderfully for me - I don't love it just because it's a Rivendell designed by Grant. It fits my needs. That's all that matters to me. David Chicago -- You received th

[RBW] FS: Orc Basic Rando Bag. $50 shipped

Orc Rando Bag. This bag was for a custom rack - I'll be making a new bag for myself, so I did some modifications to this Orc bag to fit a Nitto M12 or similar front rack. Before the mods, it wouldn't work well on anything other than a custom rack. I'd call it a Swift-a-like bag, as it's made i

Re: [RBW] Re: Hunq porteur options?

I'm not sure if that would be an option for the P&S. The included bracket to fork crown works significantly better than any other fork crown bracket I've ever used. That being said, it should be pretty easy to use Nitto rack attachments to attach to the top of crown mounts - I'm intending on try

[RBW] Re: Acorn Bags (acornbags.com) boxy rando bags!

Keeping pockets full should reduce rattling. It's nice to see some new colors from Acorn, and that they're offering WR canvas in addition to a waxed canvas choice. David Chicago -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscr

Downtube shifters! Nice! I'm really liking the matte green paint. I'm curious to see what Grant comes up with for those taller Sam forks. David Chicago On Friday, July 15, 2016 at 2:25:40 PM UTC-5, frank_a wrote: > > I picked up my Rosco this morning and got it built up in short order. I > used

[RBW] WTB: Nitto Rack Nut & Bolt

Need one of these: http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/rh1-20184.htm Maybe you bought a Nitto light holder and didn't need the nut/bolt assembly, or maybe you just happen to have an extra one around. I just need one of them to experiment with mounting a P&S porteur rack to the fork crown top mounts

Soma B-Lines or Pari-Motos, though I'd most likely go for the Compass tires if I had a choice. Buy 2 pair at a time and shipping is free. On Sunday, July 17, 2016 at 2:15:52 PM UTC-5, Lungimsam wrote: > > I have enjoyed mine, but they...are...soexpensive When you add in > shipping it co

When Ted offered them to the list before I bought the lot, I don't think there were any 26t or 36t left. Mostly odd sizes, which I enjoy. Plenty of other options out there for the sizes you need though. David Chicago since it was brought up, remaining Willow rings at treetop.bigcartel.com On Wedn

Updating this thread. Paypal personal please. Prices include shipping. Photos can be sent. Still have the following: 4. Sugino Cranks - I believe these are Alpinas, 110 double (no inner 74bcd drillings), more traditional 5-bolt design, meaning no hidden 5th bolt, 172.5mm, no chainings - though

[RBW] Re: Cambium Test. & Stainless Steel Spoke Corrosion? & 7-speed Hubs?

Especially so when compared to the cost of leather. There is so much tanned cow skin on the market, I would not be all surprised to learn Brooks cost for leather is substantially less than the infused rubber. Agreed. There was a LONG discussion about the price of this saddle when it came out.

Thanks Matthew for the info. Confirms my suspicions that the C17 is not the saddle for me. Bummer. Glad I found that out with a test saddle. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving
