[RBW] WTB: Woolywarm Sweater Vest and/or Cardigan

I just picked up a Woolywarm Cheviot Sweater over the holidays and have been loving it and would like to add a vest or Cardigan to the collection. I expect a large or XL will fit. If you have anything give a shout! Mike in Minneapolis -- You received this message because you are subscribed to th

Re: [RBW] Re: Continental "Basketball" tire

Thanks ?? and Garth; good to know. So RR gives the Contact Speed good upper middle class rolling credentials, which corresponds to the more recent RR review I did find.. I'd use them on firm dirt so ultra-fast pavement rolling is not a requirements. And just saw your (Garth's) remark on nomenclatu

[RBW] Re: Continental "Basketball" tire

I don't if there is any different in the "speed" one as Conti has a way of just changing the names of tires. On Friday, December 29, 2023 at 5:20:48 PM UTC-5 Garth wrote: > I remember seeing those here Patrick : > > https://www.bicyclerollingresistance.com/tour-reviews/continental-sport-conta

I remember seeing those here Patrick : https://www.bicyclerollingresistance.com/tour-reviews/continental-sport-contact-2016 No on road commenting, just roller and puncture "tests" and measurements. The site used to give more info without the "pro member" thing. No problem the wayback machine

[RBW] Re: Continental "Basketball" tire

They're my favorite tire made. The 700x42s pretty much live on my Atlantis and it's my main go anywhere bike. I've never flatted & they roll great. I have zero experience with them on sand but I've taken them on hardpack dirt and they were great. For me they strike the perfect balance of comfor

[RBW] Re: Continental "Basketball" tire

I just saw that the official name is "Contact Speed" and that reviews of near-kin are generally positive, tho' it's hard to find a review of the exact model in the exact size you want. But I'd spring for a pair of the 559 X 42s as occasional firm-dirt tires for the 1999 gofast, *if* they measure tr

What's the width of the handlebar bag? Or: can one fit a 9" pump inside it with tools and bandana and extra fat tube without too much hassle? Thanks. On Fri, Dec 29, 2023 at 1:29 PM John Woo wrote: > Forgot a photo of the canvas bag! > > > On Friday, December 29, 2023 at 2:18:50 PM UTC-5 John W

[RBW] Re: ROADINI in South Pasadena

Congrats, Tony! I'm just a few miles away in Glendale and have an orange Roadini from a previous batch. Know a fellow named Dean in Eagle Rock who has one from the new gold run, and it does look great. I'd have a hard time choosing between that and the green as well. Both are really nice shade

How Ortlieb sold anything named 'asphalt' is a wonder. I used one pannier much more than the other and it shows but hey, they're Ortleib and they will outlast us all. Excellent condition and no rips etc. $100 shipped in CONUS. Comes with the shoulder straps. NOTE: I'm selling a bunch of items a

Re: [RBW] Re: Will Cliffhangers leave me hanging?

I'll agree that I think the problem is the marriage of shallow, tubeless-ready rim with a pretty stout tire like the Marathon. I remember my first set of Pacenti SL23s and how difficult mounting tires on those rims was. I carry a Var bead jack

I ordered the B72 in brown with the saddle sandwich directly from Brooks England. I signed up for their newsletter and since this was my first direct purchase from them, received a 15% discount. Shipping is free at this purchase point. Also, if you register your saddle with them within thre
