I agree completely with the OP. Noodles (or similar) drops allow me to adjust according to comfort and wind...which is the point of drop bars in the first place. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this gr

[RBW] Re: FS-1983/4 Specialized Expedition 58cm. New everything. Compass, nitto, dynamo, etc.

I second that. Much as I love my Hunq and Bleriot, my 1983 Expedition remains my favorite ride. Very comfortable, reasonably light, and a classic bike that, for what it's worth, gets lots of comments. Only thing a potential buyer should keep in mind is that they run large; my PBH is 87.5 and

[RBW] Re: Found Upright riding worse than drops riding.

I'm happy to see this thread. I've tried upright bars on a V-O Polyvalent, then a V-O Campeur, and now a Rivendell Cheviot, and haven't fallen in love with the set-up on any of them. They're okay, but just okay. I don't find them as comfortable---as natural-feeling---as drops set at saddle he

[RBW] Re: SO or QB with 55cm TT c-c?

Was wondering if a 650b canti Qbeam with 55cm or less TT was ever made. I think only the last of the silvers were made that way, and only in 50 or 52? Thanks for the Qbeam chart. So I would need a 52 for a TT that is at or is sub-55cm. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to

Re: [RBW] Re: Fixed Gear Snow Ride

Patrick, the mountain mixte is the obvious answer! I'm new to this mountain mixte thing, but I've found it to be much preferable to the other option. With a step through you can really dance around, allowing for maximum finesse on rocky trails. Being able to catamaran your body so readily and co

Re: [RBW] Re: Fixed Gear Snow Ride

But be aware that, as with Nitto putting 7 lb max limits on racks, some mfrs may put "cya" restrictions on their products. It may well be that the ENO suffers more from the pull of high torque pedaling than, say, a Phil fixed hub with allen bolts; but I've yet to be convinced mfr's disclaimers not

I will look into the Philcentric BB, Justin. Thank you. One of the things I’ve learned trying a LOT of different ways of going about “x” is it rarely goes well when the purpose of a thing and it’s use don’t match up. The less alligned purpose and use are the more fiddly and frustrating it will

Re: [RBW] Re: Found Upright riding worse than drops riding.

Hi Lum, I cannot find the earlier discussion I had mentioned this but have you tried these bars on a bicycle? They are mustache bars with a smaller drop. I believe SOMAFAB has them as a 3 speed mustache bar. https://www.flickr.com/photos/pereiracycles/3983134786/ http://store.somafab.com/soma3

Not sure what you're asking. The below link is a geometry chart. Does not contain the Simpleone but the geometry is very similar. http://www.cyclofiend.com/rbw/geometry.html My 60cm Simpleone is, of course, 700c wheels with cantis. On Saturday, December 9, 2017 at 10:48:53 PM UTC-8, lum gim

[RBW] Re: How do you like your Catalyst pedals?

I agree with everything Deacon Patrick says. They are spendy and I have them only on my Joe. They've been there long enough that I rarely think about making the foot-position adjustment. The differences in the pedal size "disappears" when I'm riding, which I think is the ideal. Jay On Friday,

Re: [RBW] Re: Fixed Gear Snow Ride

The torque on the ENO won't come from the high gears, but from the low, where you're putting more mechanical advantage through the gears. Has White industries actually said it's a no go for the gear you want to use? I'm guessing it would be fine. Eric On Sat, Dec 9, 2017 at 8:20 PM, Patrick Moor
