[RBW] Re: Shimano Bar-End Friction Shifter Question

Someone will have to check my math on this, but something in the recesses of my brain tells me that the Shimano bar end shifters with the silver body and black rubber tips are 10-speed Dura-Ace specific and don't play well with anything other than 10-speed Dura-Ace, at least for indexed settings

I'm posting this here because I am indeed a Rivendell owner, albeit this topic in particular isn't specific to Rivendell, and only "of interest" to this particular crowd :-) I have Rene Herse brakes -- a couple sets of the cantilever style, and a set of the center-pulls that I'm about to set-up

[RBW] New Roadini Clearance and Brake Reach

In a previous conversation I promised to post my findings on actual brake reach needs for the new Roadini frames. Specifically, I had been speculating that the Dia-Compe/Gran-Compe model GC610 center-pull could work, despite having only 61 of the specified-as-required 63 millimeters of reach.

This is an old thread, but having just scored a 50cm Roadini for my partner, I thought I'd respond. The need for long reach brakes concerned me slightly, but in the end decided that with all the factors involved, it would be fine: bike is small, partner doesn't weigh much (125 or so), the bike

Yeah, I hear you. My hunch is that it's totally fine and 10 minutes into my first ride I'll have forgotten all about it. Main thing is I just wanted to see if someone had some sort of definitive information to the effect of it definitely not being advisable to use a Thomson seatpost with a Sam,

Yeah, that sounds reasonable. For the money, it's annoying to have to think that the Thomson post would be the problem. The bike came with a Dajia post, which I'm fine with using, were it a zero-setback post. I can't right now recall that it was like, pulling it out. I will check, with it. Also

Just wanted to get some advice, here. I am building my new Sam Hillborne, which takes a 26.8 seatpost. For the size of frame I use, unless I get a ridiculously short stem (like, 6cm), I need a zero-setback seatpost. Especially if I want there to be space behind the saddle to use my Carradice Ba

Just got the notice that my new SH is on the way! WooHOO! I plan to use one of the Rene Herse revival cranks from Compass Bicycles, but am not sure about spindle length. The Compass site recommends 110mm, but I assume that's for a normally-spaced, 130mm road bike. The Sam is 135 spacing, so I'm
