Re: [RBW] Re: Charlie H Gallop!

Again my mistake. As regards center pulls, post mounted or otherwise, or for that matter dual pivots with respect to v brakes I think choice of levers, aesthetics, or even just finding no defect in the non v brake alternative are reasons enough for a person to prefer non v brakes. Which is not

Re: [RBW] Re: Charlie H Gallop!

I like v brakes a lot. In my experience they are definitely simpler and at least equal to any other rim brake. My problem with them is the drop bar lever selection. There are 2 options. One is known to crack and the other is hard to track down and not amazing. A road bike, I assume, probably mea

I ordered the MUSA pants this time around because the fabric seemed to have a little more structure than the previous version and I was in need of some sporty pants. They arrived today and immediately I had to come here and share how pleased I am with them. I could have ordered the L or the XL

Re: [RBW] Re: Charlie H Gallop!

"Because the levers they like aren’t for v brakes? Or they don’t see any significant down side to cantilever brakes? Or they prefer the aesthetics?" It was a sincere question. Answering my question with questions sounds sarcastic and patronizing to me. Should I not ask any more questions? -- Yo

Re: [RBW] Re: Charlie H Gallop!

I just read the AMA and my impression is Gallop is a roadish frame with long stays and the singlespeed is a different bike. This is the SS quote: "We're working on a one-speed for late 2020." -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Charlie H Gallop!

Because the levers they like aren’t for v brakes? Or they don’t see any significant down side to cantilever brakes? Or they prefer the aesthetics? I’ve yet to understand what the advantage of v brakes is. Sure they work fine, but (in my experience) so do other kinds. -- You received this message

Re: [RBW] Re: Charlie H Gallop!

I'm no expert, but my experience, such as it is, says that well set up canti brakes have better modulation than V brakes which, like all the 3 sets of BB7 discs I've used, tend to be "snatchy" -- tho' this is all more of an academic discussion point than a real problem. That is to say, the grabby n

[RBW] Re: MUSA Pants

I received my pants today. I have to say that they are very nice. Definitely a cut above typical cycling clothing in quality. The fit is excellent. My 32" actual waist (typically wear pants labeled 30", yay vanity sizing!) fits the medium pants very well, and the length is sufficient for my 85c

Re: [RBW] Re: Charlie H Gallop!

Ok, let's roll that out. I had a frame with braze-ons for Paul Centerpulls so I bought them and they worked great. But there was all that business with cable hangers and stops and I don't think they worked any better than v-brakes. What's the benefit? It's not a sarcastic question, I genuinely d

Re: [RBW] Re: Charlie H Gallop!

I agree about cantos mostly, but I have been very impressed by the stopping power of the Mafac centerpulls on my Waterford with a Terraferma fork. Centerpulls are easy to set up, but it does complicate front rackage. YMMV. Sent from my iPad > On Dec 20, 2019, at 4:22 PM, Joe Bernard wrote: >

[RBW] Re: Charlie H Gallop!

I insisted my custom have no added bits for cantis, which are a gigantic pain to set up with no appreciable braking or aesthetic improvement over v-brakes. Gimme strong simple brakes and tire clearance all day long, if I need more brake I'll buy a bike with discs. -- You received this message
