Also, running these on older version Alex DM18 - which are eyeletted, basically a wider Sun CR18, almost exactly like a Velocity Atlas. Wish these rims were still made instead of the newer version. David Chicago On Thursday, January 14, 2016 at 9:43:26 PM UTC-6, drew wrote: > > nice to see these

Re: [RBW] Re: Roadini

A bunch of people have converted Rams to 650b. I've done it successfully with my Redwood. I'm keeping 2 wheelsets/brakesets (700c/650b) to swap between the two as needed. I have some WTB Horizon tires on the way which (fingers-crossed) will be the perfect fit - I'd need to crimp chainstays slig

I've been doing this with my 13-month old - Clem has a Yepp Mini on the front now - a very slow 2-3 miles around the park that's across the street from me. Almost everyday for the past 2 weeks, weather permitting. Besides commuting, it's the most consistent cycling I've done in the past couple o

[RBW] Fender for blue Rambouillet?

There was a change to clearances I believe. Later Rams had more tire clearance. My Redwood (a larger Romulus) will fit 38mm tires - 32mm tires with fenders fit nicely. David Chicago -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsu

Re: [RBW] The New England Elements, a Homer and an Outdoor Bike Rack

Agreed. I've been working at the same employer for awhile now and would lock my bike up outside. I didn't have a 'nice' bike until a few years ago (funny that now most of my bikes are 'nice' bikes), but I didn't hesitate locking up outside, though I'd do a thorough locking job (locking skewers,

I briefly had a too-small-for-me Trek 890. They're really cool frames, but they're definitely not a mountain bike. 72.5/73 degree seat/head angles on the 21"-or-so frame. Trek grouped them together based on wheel size and called 26"-wheeled bikes 'all-terrain.' They're really more a touring/road

[RBW] Re: Schwalbe Big One on Appaloosa

I had the 700c version, liteskin, and they measured 57mm on 25mm external width rims. With a wider rim, they'd likely measure closer to 60mm. I fit them on my Clem just fine - I ended up switching for Furious Freds as I added a front child seat and the extra height from the tires made me a litt

[RBW] Re: Schwalbe Big One on Appaloosa

Clem has more clearance. Advertised as fitting 60mm tires plus fenders. It was a tighter fit with fenders up front, but I did run Big Ones under SKS fenders at one point. David Chicago On Thursday, August 25, 2016 at 1:26:16 AM UTC-5, Ray Varella wrote: > > Bill in Stockton, what model of bike a

Thanks Tom! I started a doctorate program and decided to buy a house in the same week. Next month is going to be a blur! I will be very close to some trails though - I hope to get my Riv Redwood (recently shod with WTB Horizons) out on some dirt/gravel. Photos to come for sure. David Chicago
