Re: [RBW] Pass & Stow Porteur Rack Experiences.

Thanks for all that replied. My Clem has cantilever brakes (built it up from a frameset) so there shouldn't be any interference mounting to center hole. Looks like I could use the mounting slots to use a couple struts and utilize the top fork mounts. I'll try the rack mount as it is first of co

Re: [RBW] Re: My Joe Appaloosa

Yup. I learned that this past weekend when I shifted to my big cog for the first time ever on my Clem. Never needed to until I happened upon some muddy trails. I just picked up a set of P65s for Clementine, so I'll try to just trace the cutout from the P65 onto my B65. SKS fender material is pre

My forthcoming BMC Monster Cross will make this bike unneeded, so selling frameset. 1987 Trek 330 Frameset I had a local framebuilder add cantilever brake studs for 650b wheels, then I rattlecanned the area. Frame could be repainted as there is wear to the original paint, or just ride it as it

[RBW] Re: What color CSJs are folks buying?

I picked the silver-ish gray originally, and was surprised to see the dark gray anthracite. I was envisioning something lighter shade with the silver descriptor, then seeing the green, kinda wished I picked that. I thought about seeing if colors can be changed, but figured, I'm sure I'll want ea

Re: [RBW] Re: Clem info for the Tall and Long

I think the "MAXIMUM" in maximum standover height is the key word. I think with the sloping top tube, if you tried to straddle the top tube right by the headset, that might be why they're using the qualifier, maximum. Just thinkin' David Chicago On Saturday, March 21, 2015 at 6:36:34 PM UTC-5, i

[RBW] Re: Chains do not like me.

Jim, What chain tool would you recommend? I have one in my kit, though I had to think hard about whether I did or not, and just went and checked. It's something old from a multitool kit that I lost long ago. It relies on an allen wrench to do the pin pushing. My most common mistake is using lock

regg, I don't have one for sale, but I'd throw out there that in my brief period of wanting a 64cm Hillborne (I opted for a Clem preorder), it was pointed out to me that one can still be had through Rivendell new as they have Waterford make them as needed. Price is higher than the stock sizes o

[RBW] Re: Clementine rear brake cabling -- ideas?

I have at least one binder bolt mounted pulley that I saved from '80s stepthrough MTBs. I believe I have one with a built in adjustable cable stop. I've hung on to those for no particular reason, never really knew why but now they have a potential use! I'm still debating whether my SO wants a C

Re: [RBW] Re: Clementine rear brake cabling -- ideas?

If that's like the one I have, you can put in a threaded housing stop adjuster on the underside and run housing straight to the pulley. David Chicago On Monday, March 23, 2015 at 4:43:22 PM UTC-5, Tom Harrop wrote: > > Yeah, I can live with a clamp on stop and a pulley. > > Found this pulley thin

[RBW] Alternative Frame Pump Mounting.

I find myself with a couple frame pumps too short for my bikes, and am wondering what other folks have done to mount pumps in different ways than pump peg locations. Photos would be very helpful. Thanks, David Chicago -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

I have a 65cm Redwood. Riv probably wouldn't recommend it to me, but it rides great and planes nicely for me. For a road bike, which it is, I don't know if I'd want a stouter ride. David Chicago On Wednesday, March 25, 2015 at 3:26:14 PM UTC-5, DSat wrote: > > To the riders that weigh 200 lbs or
