Re: [RBW] How many rolls of Newbaums on 46cm Noodles?

I always buy a third roll just in case. If it's not used on the bars then it can be used on a kick stand, chain stay, or under various clamp on items on bars or tubes. Good luck! Aaron Young The Dalles, OR On Sunday, April 26, 2015, David Banzer wrote: > I know the Riv site says 2 w

Never let a kickstand plate be a deal killer, because you can never completely trust a kickstand. -Aaron "Kickstand Skeptic" Young The Dalles, OR On Monday, March 30, 2015, Deacon Patrick wrote: > I'm sure Johnny Fever at WKRP will be happy to help with the next > transa

thinking of setting up a Clementine as a rough stuff trail bike with wide knobbies. Seems like it might make a good mountain bike. Any reason to not do that? Thanks, Aaron Young The Dalles, OR On Tuesday, March 17, 2015, Bill Lindsay wrote: > That's a good idea, maybe I will try to make it

Re: [RBW] Re: Dajia Rear Rack and new Clem Pump

That's a beautiful Trek, too. Looks like lots of stock components. Besides the wheelset/casette and racks what isn't stock? Looks like the original Sachs Huret rear derailleur. I love those. :) Aaron "used to live in Rochester" Young The Dalles, OR On Tue, Mar 3, 2015 at 7

How very interesting. What do you think is making the difference? Same or different pads on each type of brake? Of course the old ones were set up normally, right? In any case, I'm glad the new ones are working so well for you. :) Aaron Young The Dalles, OR On Thursday, February 19,

I was really impressed when I saw the Lars video. However, I just saw this one that is worth checking out if you have 15 min. In short, another skilled archer "myth busts" Lars' claims, and does a really good job of it. It never hurts to maintain a healthy amount of skeptici
