[RBW] Re: Riding with Young Children: was Carless?

Hi David, I started carrying our son in a BoBike Classic Mini on the front of my Bleriot when he was about 9 months old. This was a great setup to begin with, and the optional windshield really made a big difference for winter riding. When he outgrew that (at about 2 years), we transitioned t

Thanks, that's the plumpness! but, holy camoly, you're right, that's a whole lotta grams to spin. On Friday, March 13, 2015 at 11:42:48 AM UTC-5, cyclot...@gmail.com wrote: > > Jay, these are the size you're looking for, but not sure about all that > mass you would be spinning around... 1125

Re: [RBW] Re: ClemSamples on the BLUG

+3 on all that useful space behind the seat tube! a great place for a water bottle or a Salsa Anything cage, and it frees up the main triangle for a capacious frame bag. and speaking of the massive tire clearances, are there any "great for nothing, good for everything" 650b x 60mm tires out

[RBW] Re: The Canti Hilsen.

great choice of color Brad! wow. Josh is a great guy. I talked to him about brazing some useful bits onto my Bleriot a couple of summers ago, but decided to sleep on it. I hope to get him to add them when we move back to CO this summer. hope you enjoy the ahh2.0 -Jay B. On Friday, Dec

Not sure how I missed your response Mathew, but I appreciate your feedback. I agree I could outfit my Xtracycle to work right now, but at 9 years old several components/accessories need replacing/upgrading to make it a dependable daily ride. I'm just not sure I want to pump much time and mone

Hi Shoji, Thanks for all your helpful feedback and pics. What size is your Hunqapillar? Do you recall your PBH or saddle height? I like your fat tire/fender combos. What is the largest tire you've used? We have a trailer

Re: [RBW] Toddlers, Kids, Urban Transport, and your Riv

Thanks for all your input, Eli. It's super helpful. I have been looking long and hard at both the Fr8 and the new Xtracycle Edgerunner, but the Fr8, in particular, is really appealing to me for a lot of reasons. My (9 year old) Xtracycle has been great, but at this point several parts need rep

Re: [RBW] Toddlers, Kids, Urban Transport, and your Riv

Thanks Edwin. I agree, after some testing on my current bikes, throwing my leg over the TT multiple times a day is not going to be practical. And I appreciate your take on dedicated kid haulers. While I love checking out the various box bikes and long tails, part of me thinks with just one chi

[RBW] Toddlers, Kids, Urban Transport, and your Riv

howdy folks, We’ve been super happy with the Bobike Mini front child carrier for toting around our nearly 2 year old for the last year. Combined with a large rear saddlesack and front basket on the Bleriot, Betty, or Quickbeam, we’ve got our daily urban transport needs just about covered (we

[RBW] Re: Bleriot tire clearance.

The largest tires I have put on my Bleriot (with Paul Racer brakes and Synergy rims) are the Schwalbe "Fatties" RBW used to sell. They were in the 46mm wide ballpark, if I remember correctly. I squeezed some fenders in there as well, but just for kicks. You can check out some of the tire clea

[RBW] Re: Compass 650b 38 vs. 650b 42 mm tires question.

Plenty of 650b Rivs can take 42mm tires with fenders. My Bleriot, for example, swallows Hetres, SKS longboard fenders, and Paul Racer brakes with room to spare. I've even mounted some of the Schwalbe fatties RBW used to sell under some fenders on that bike. -Jay On Friday, August 8, 2014 8
