Bill, it's fun to watch your rational and systematic builds and weight limiting considerations. I suspect you're right that most RBW Group members don't weight their bikes. I never have until just a minute ago, when I weighed my most recent project, a size 58 Hunqapillar, out of curiosity. *T

Re: [RBW] New frame day: Charlie H Gallop and a weight weenie Riv build status

I will go out on a limb and predict that VERY few posts on the RBW Group are of people showing off their lightweight Riv build without pedals. Wink! I think maybe the Roadeo product page might say how Mark A built a Roadeo at 18.5 pounds without pedals, but that's about it. BL in EC On Tues

I wouldn't call it an issue. I was just that I was trying to understand the specifics of your question. It seemed you were asking just me, but now I understand you are taking a poll, asking everybody to chime in on how they weigh their bikes. My impression of the RBW Group is that most people

David asked: "as we enter weight weenie deliberations, what is excluded? Pedals? Saddles?…" I guess that depends on what exactly you mean by "we". If "we" includes David Hays from Williamsville, New York, then by all means enumerate the stuff you want to exclude in the weight weenie build you

[RBW] Re: Video: Repairing Pam Murray's Silver shifters

I think a little light lube would help slow corrosion rather than improve ratchet action. In the past I've put a little lube on a rag and rubbed the spring, pawl and ratchet washer. Can't remember if I used T9 or Tri-Flow On Saturday, December 14, 2024 at 10:57:16 PM UTC-5 John Rinker wrote: >

The frame though was a full 2528g with the headset cups still pressed in. That's about a half-pound heavier than the claim on the webpage. That's also about 1/4 pound lighter than my RoadUno frame, and about 3/4 pound heavier than my Roadeo frame. Dang that's a boat anchor! The Ritchey M
