All perfectly valid and true etc. I was just pulling your leg, or poking some fun, or whatever. Of course by all means try the 1x9 on the road bike and have fun. It sure sounds fun. If you ever do find your way south east of sunol, welch creek is a nice wooded, narrow, lightly traveled, dead end

Re: [RBW] Re: One week without a front derailleur

Oh, I see. I promise that if I choose to tackle the steepest climbs in any particular geographic area, I'll bring a low gear. If I had to grab one of my bikes down off the hook right now and do Welch Road, I suppose I'd choose the Hillborne which has a 23" low gear. The Bombadil has an 18" l

Nope. I thought you might want something smaller than a 35" gear there. As in a reason to want lower than 35" on a road bike. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it,

[RBW] 650B Fenders with a 26" wheel

I want to replace the plastic fenders on our tandem. It's about ready for new tires so it seems like a good time to do it. The wheels are 26" and the Racer brakes open just enough for 38 MM tires. Currently we run Marathon Racers 26 x 1.5 (37.5) and will probably repeat that size in either

[RBW] Re: Bike locks ?

Gotcha. I may be foolish or lucky, but I've been locking my protovelo up with a NYC kryptonite mini ulock around the frame, and pitlocks on the wheels,seatpost, edeluxe. The mini u lock doesn't reach both rear triangle and rear wheel and thought better to secure my frame with it than wheel.

[RBW] Re: Bike locks ?

I consider the locking skewers a bonus and still try to lock both wheels to a solid object if possible. Since I carry two "real" locks, it's possible 95% of the time to do this, as well as locking the frame twice. Anything that tells a thief at a glance that there are easier targets. On Saturda

Re: [RBW] Re: Bike locks ?

Can I ask this question a different way...? Has anyone on here had a riv or similar stolen whilst locked TO something, and if so what sort of lock were you using and how was it defeated? I have always used the heaviest ABUS D-lock I can find but I've recently switched to a one of their "Bordo"
