Patrick: That's not my fender line..Bike Flights packed it that way and I only installed the front. The short answer to how I remove the rear wheel is..I guess I'll find out eventually! Longer: The rods slide into those rod-receiver-thingys, which clamp down on the rods when the bolts are snugged. My first attempt would be to loosen the clamps and bend the fender back to pop the wheel out. If that turns out to be a headache for a flat fix, I'll ditch the fenders; I'm not absolutely committed to fenders.
Gearing is 39-17, which I'll let you do your gear-inch thing for. I brought the bike to the care home I work/live at during the week, so I won't be climbing my monster hill with it. The spacing is 120, so it won't fit that 3-speed we discussed, plus I'm not going to need gears here. I'm kinda digging the simple, light vibe with this one with all the Paul goodies sprinkled about. Everything else I own is either multispeed or electric or both, and none of them qualify as particularly light by modern standards. Yes, I believe the toptube tape was there to block the flared dropbar it came with. I'm not normally a fan of wrapping toptubes, but Nate did a lovely job with it and the Paul levers are in range of that tube, too, so I'm keeping it. Neat bike, eh? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
