1. RBW Silver bar end shifters are tops if you are into friction shifting only. Run an 8-speed cassette for better friction shifting.
2. Brand Bois Hetre tires, if your bike is 650b 3. Compass Loup Loup Pass tires, if bike is 650b 4. Get curent black label Grand Bois 650b 36 hole rims laced to LX hubs because mounting Hetres on 650b Synergy rims is a bear to do. They pretty much auto-seat on Grand Bois rims, though. Put any Dynamo hub you like on the front wheel so you can run a dyno headlight. 5. Definitely replace the stock black Tektro R559 brake pads with a salmon pad for better wet weather braking. 6. If you like your bars below saddle height, get a Nitto Pearl Stem. Tallux and Technomics will bottom out at saddle height. Their rise is too high. Pearls have a shorter rise to get bars lower than saddle height. At least on my 52 Blue Sam it is that way. But if you don't upgrade anything, you will still have one of the finest bikes on the planet. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
