[RBW] Velocity Wheelset

Anyone by chance hanging onto a 700c Velocity Quill wheelset you might consider selling? Dynamo front, 135 rear would be ideal. Would be interested in 700c Quill rims only too… Long shot, but figured I would ask. R, Drew Sent from my iPhone -- You received this message because you are s

Re: [RBW] Re: FS: 60 Orange Rambouillet (White Industries / Paul) $1,900

I never tried a Roadini but my perception is that my orange 60 Ram feels much lighter than the 61 Toyo AHH I used to have. More like my Soma San Marcos than the AHH.To be fair, the AHH had plastic sks fenders and a marks rack in the front and a light-ish Nitto rear rack (R14?) but I’m pretty certai

[RBW] Re: Electric Bikes and Organized Rides

I'm not bothered by the e-bike/e-moto/e-mobility riders passing me, I'm afraid of the novice or absent riding skill operators on the door-delivered, 80# nameless Chinese landfill mass to be. No helmets, no lights, no bells and no sense that any such would be appropriate. These are precise examp

Re: [RBW] Re: Electric Bikes and Organized Rides

Just addressing the bike shop comment upstream. It is not the bike shops that are selling the crappy Rad Power Bikes and worse. Those are direct to consumer bikes that, eventually, the LBS will have to help service. Here in Wash, DC, not one bike shop carries bikes they will not be willing

Turn all the e-bike riders into derny/pace riders for cyclists as in oldie track racing, whether they want to or not; an interesting notion! Peter “and make them wear costumes like rodeo clowns, too” Adler Berkeley, California On Sunday, July 21, 2024 at 7:10:21 AM UTC-7 John Dewey wrote: And i

It is a 26.8 on the Sam Hillborne I just received from this latest batch. On Sunday, July 21, 2024 at 6:54:19 AM UTC-4 lconley wrote: > My 1st Sam was 27.2, my second was 26.8. Pretty sure that the current > models are 26.8. > > Laing Conley > > On Sat, Jul 20, 2024 at 10:08 AM Ron Cramer wrot

Re: [RBW] Re: FS: 60 Orange Rambouillet (White Industries / Paul) $1,900

Who doesn't like an orange Riv ? Question for the group, as I looked at this post: What do you think is the difference in ride "feel" between a Ram and a Roadini? I have an orange (of course) Roadini which I like a lot. Very comfy once up to speed, although it took cockpit changes, big cushy tir

Re: [RBW] Re: Electric Bikes and Organized Rides

Patrick, I wholeheartedly agree with you regarding the kind of e-bike Steve P rides. My beef is primarily with those nameless flat black fat-tire electric motorcycles driven mostly by children. And if we’re opening up big organized rides, then I’m for requiring the SP kind of pedal-assist always

Re: [RBW] Re: Electric Bikes and Organized Rides

I can't agree entirely with John, though I certainly sympathize. My experience with e-bikes is certainly less than that of many other list members, but I've seen far too many polite, slow, and apparently safe riders of e-bikes on our local paths to think that they all should be banned from such pat

Re: [RBW] Re: Electric Bikes and Organized Rides

And how many of those will end in landfill as they are basically junk day one. I get e-assist for old and infirm but all the rest are a plague. On big rides, eg RAGBRAI, my .02 cents is to have them start an hour earlier…tho RAGBRAI is such a free for-all. I hate the idea of e-bikes on these sorts

Interesting input. A little more detail. I have Silver 2 shifters & Nissen cables on my Clem. Shifters are mounted “Riv” style, reversed & inboard of brake levers. Clem has a Deore R.D. & 9 speed cassette. Over 8,000 miles & no issues.Broken cable is from my Gus. I decided to try rapid rise on the
