[RBW] Bike shops/offroad trails in Duluth, MN?
Hi, I'm bringing my Bombadil up to Duluth for the weekend, hoping to find some hills and interesting off-the-beaten path rides (I think I have that part covered). Does anyone have any recommendations of bike shops in Duluth to buy a local trail map? I try to frequent locally owned places that are support the "philosophy" and attitude toward riding we discuss on this board. Any recommendations for Duluth area off road/ fire trail riding that avoids the "hardcore" MTB attitude in general is appreciated (not trying to make a statement, I race my mountain bike sometimes. Just not in the mood for that this weekend.) Thanks, Paul S. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: Question for Patrick Moore or Other NM Residents
I have been told by several people in several western states that federal highways are governed by federal law and that federal laws says that you can bicycle on the interstates when it is the only feasible way to travel from point A to point B. Here in Tucson, you can not bicycle on interstate 10 in the greater city limits, but outside of those limits, bicycling is allowed. I know that this is also the case with Interstate 5 in CA and sections of 40 in AZ. I would check the fed's website, I am sure the law is available. Every time I have biked on an interstate (not the most pleasant of experiences, though never as bad as I expect), there have been signs letting you know that it is ok, and signs letting you know when you have entered a section where it is not OK. The section of 5 around Camp Pendleton is a classic, highway biking experience (unless the base is open to cyclists again).

[RBW] Re: Question for Patrick Moore or Other NM Residents
Actually, there are no Federal laws prohibiting bicycles from Interstate highways . . it's up to the States themselves. http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/environment/bikeped/freeways.htm Like cm stated though, urban areas are not allowed. Where the actual starting point outside a city limit does require some local knowledge though. As long as you have a map and some sense, you can manage to get where you need to safely though. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: Question for Patrick Moore or Other NM Residents
FWIW, you can ride through camp Pendleton again, sparing you that horrible slog on the 5! If you go east on the 8, there are sections you can ride or not ride depending on the existence of alternative routes. So seems that in CA freeway use is generally off limits except where it is the only way to get from A to B, as you note.

[RBW] Re: Wasn't the Rodeo prototype supposed to be unveiled by now
Hmm, I'm not sure why any company would "unveil" a prototype - it's just a prototype, bound to be tweaked and changed. Strategically for a retail company, it doesn't seem to make much sense to unveil products until they are in production with all the kinks ironed out, so that what the customer's see is what the customers get. If I recall correctly, Grant just said that Mark's prototype would be showing up at HQ in a month or so. That said, I am certainly looking forward to taking it for a spin. :-) Cheers, Gino Chico, CA On Fri, Jul 31, 2009 at 10:58 AM, Dustin Sharp wrote: > Just making sure I didn’t miss something. > > Dustin --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Middle of the Road Shimano
Just received new Shimano Deore LX hubs for my Bleriot. Going to build the up with DT and Dyads. It has been a while since I have had any LX components and am literally shocked by their appearance. They look 10x better than the last LX hubs I had in 1999 and far better than the XT hubs I bought in '04. The finish is sort of a brushed silver. I think the old ones are painted gray, and the XTs are black. I will hold off on final judgement until they have a few miles on them. It is easy to forget how great Shimano's middle of the road stuff really is- as I tend to pine over more topshelf stuff. This is final component for the Bleriot before I start putting it together.

[RBW] Re: Little Loafer elastic cord
Hi Bill, Obviously the site owner, Mr. Cyclofiend, will probably respond to your request but here's a link to his photostream on Flickr that shows one method: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclofiend/2321614060/ Jim On Jul 31, 1:57 pm, bpus...@aol.com wrote: > Help, I'm trying to attach the elastic cord to the top of my Little Loafer > and, I admit, I'm an idiot.

[RBW] Re: workstands
I've done that before. It's not too bad, if you are indeed short on space. You can't really use it for working on the bottom bracket or headset. And you might get tired of squatting low to do stuff. But I did that for years when I lived in a small apartment. Horace.

[RBW] Re: workstands
I've got a full size workstand, but the last few bikes I've built up, I didn't even bother to use it. I just lean the bike on a wall or piece of furniture. I turn it upside down to install BB and cranks. Ryan On Jul 31, 2009, at 21:29, Horace wrote: > > I've done that before. It's not too bad, if you are indeed short on > space.

[RBW] Re: workstands
I just recently built up a Saluki using only the Velo two legged stand. I had no real difficulties and I actually think that stand is probably one of the best bike-related purchases I have made to date. It works good on a table too. -Original Message- From: Aaron Thomas Sent: Friday, July 31, 2009 6:49 PM To: RBW Owners Bunch Subject: [RBW] workstands Has anyone tried to do an entire bike build from the ground up using one of the two leg stands, such as the one sold by VO? http://www.velo-orange.com/twolegstand.html Any other recommendations for inexpensive stands that don't take up much space so that they are easy to store in a small apartment setting? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: Saluki FS - not mine
This is not my Saluki - but I know the guy who is selling it. The sale was apparently motivated by the purchase of a Ducati 916. He has an XO-1 and RB-1. Feels the Saluki is more than he needs. I feel partially responsible since I turned him on to Rivendell in the first place. I can vouch for the bike and the seller. Both are great.

[RBW] Re: Bike shops/offroad trails in Duluth, MN?
Paul- The CAMBA trails in northwest Wisconsin may be too far from Duluth (50-70 miles I would guess) but have lots of rides on gravel roads and fire lanes, some of it quite hilly.

That's one way. I kept forgetting it, so I put the numbers in for the one side. I like having the cord tag ends aft, but you can set it up to taste.
