I purchased a used Radwagon that came with an Albus skewer on the front. Below is an example. It achieves security by a cover that slides over a 8mm nut. The cover only slides when the skewer is plumb and facing up—ie, the wheel must be horizontal—like exactly horizontal. I chuckle about how good t

Re: [RBW] Orthos

2024-09-13 Thread Ryan Ogilvie
My view is that the single bolt clamps just don’t have a sufficient clamping force to keep the Orthos from slipping. Even if you tighten it so it stays put, you’ve over-torqued the fastener which can lead to bad summer teeth (some’r her, some’r there). A four bolt plate should work, tho. Sent

I got a 56 Suz a few months ago and experience aligns with Mack's. Really versatile--fun on road and trail. Frame is pretty light, so you could do a minimalist steel frame build. I have dynamo, cliffhangers, racks, but don't mind the weight. It is a looong frame. Hard to fit on car racks, trains
