[RBW] Re: Bruce Gordon R&R lifespan?

2.5 years sounds pretty good to me on those tires. They are pretty supplenice ride but don't last as long as tires with stiffer casings...Not really a good tire to commute on in my opinion (unless you're lucky enough to have a commute that is mostly singletrack) On Tuesday, December 1, 201

I wouldn't ride it till you get it figured out. I agree it sounds like a possible headset but I too have have similar issues when I have broken a frame (chainstay) and had a fork crack at the crown. Hope it's something easy but risking a frame failing completely isn't worth it. On Wednesday, Oc

[RBW] Re: Tour Guide from RBW Headquarters to the Picnic on Sunday?

If you're coming from Sac I'd park at Walnut Creek and bring your bikes. Bart to Embarcadero and ride along the water. It's a super easy ride. It's pretty far to walk. I don't know the mileage but it's too far to walk in my opinion and I walk everywhere. Bart is easy with bikes on the weekend to

[RBW] Re: Valve Stem eating Synergy Wheels

I have had a similar problem with stems getting torn. It was after I switched to wider tires and the valve stem would consistently tear from the tube. Usually when descending a hill where braking forces were high. Like you it was always the same rim. I stopped using it as I figured the tires wi

[RBW] Re: Mechanical disadvantage? Seeking joyful braking.

I agree with Doug. V-brakes are the way to go. No matter how much time I spend on my Paul canti's they still don't stop as good as my $20 avid v-brakes that I spent all of 3 min setting up. Less clearance for fenders on the v-brakes and tighter pad to rim clearance is the drawback of v-brakes.

[RBW] Rivnuts question

I'm thinking of using rivnuts to install some bottle cages on a bike that has only one cage mount. I know of the potential problems with rivnuts but am ok with that. My main question is, if I use rivnuts and later decide to have proper brazeons installed will the holes be too big? My thought i
