"Entmoot": love it. In order of importance to me. There is indeed a three-way tie for first place.
1. Cantilever posts: more clearance for wide tires, fenders, detritus. Sidepull/centerpull brake is a deal breaker for me. 1. 135 rear spacing: swappability of wheels across other single-speed capable frames. QB/SO 120 is a deal breaker for me. 2. Braze-ons for Mini Front Rack: prefer entirely solid rack to untighten-able racks like Mark's or Top. Fewer connection points to double-check. Likely depends on brake specification, so neutral as to deal-breaking or not. 3. Kickstand plate: useful for 2.5- to 3-season bike rack overcrowding. Lack of kickstand plate not a deal breaker. 4. Tire clearance for true 45mm: useful on muddy gravel and dirt roads hereabouts. Not a deal breaker; I could make do with Sam-like or QB/SO clearances. 5. QB/SO-style rear dropouts: easier (for me) to keep the wheel centered and the chain tensioned. Despite fender interference, I would prefer these to forward-facing dropouts, which have caused me considerable aggravation. Not a deal breaker, as the aggravation is likely due to operator error as much as dropout orientation. -- Bob -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
