[RBW] Re: New (to my wife) Betty Foy

It's a gorgeous looking bike. I like the red pedals. I also think the Brooks maybe too narrow for a women's sit bones. I use the B17S on both my bikes. Any wider Brooks will work well. On Friday, March 10, 2017 at 10:01:49 AM UTC-8, Daniel Betancourt wrote: > > I bought the frame, wheels, and br

That red Roadeo is pretty great. It might be a smidge too small for me, but I loved the short ride I took on it. The 105 brifters were very nice, which surprised me 'cause I've used several earlier Shimano variants that I didn't like. Someone really needs to buy that bike! -- You received this

[RBW] Re: Photos of new silver Joe Appaloosa color

Ted, Did you use talcum powder on the inner tube when you mounted the tire? It occurs to me that you might have tire-tube friction producing the "squeaking." (I have a similar problem with the custom orthotics "squeaking" inside my shoes: a liberal does of talc immediately silences the shoe sq

thanks for the advice folks. It does seem to be the front fender (p45 longboard) contacting the tire. There are tell tale signs of rubbing, and when I adjusted it further from the tire it reduced but did not eliminate the noise. I have another bike with the same sort of fender and compass 38mm

Re: [RBW] Clem Jr tire - Kenda KwickNine / KwickSeven.5?

If Schwalbe still makes the 700C, 50 mm Kojak, I'd take a close look. The Big Apple is nice for an off road or utility tire, but it's not as light or supple as the Kojak.
