[RBW] Re: son hub sales anywhere?

I haven't checked in a year or so, but the last few SON hubs I purchased were all from European mail order sites (SJS/Bike24/Condor/Berthoud/etc) and were significantly cheaper as a result of favorable exchange rates and no VAT, despite the shipping cost. On Monday, November 27, 2023 at 5:22:15

Re: [RBW] Re: Nitto 32F Rack weight limit?

I've a Rene Herse UD-1 rack listed if anyone searching for an adjustable and lightweight rack with a 10 kg (22 lb) weight rating is interested. It’s very nicely built and high quality w/adjustable struts that can fit the same mounts as a 32f. Rene Herse specs - https://www.renehersecycles.com/

Re: [RBW] Dynamo Wiring inside the Fork and Frame?

The 22AWG wire offered by Velo Lumino, currently out of stock, is the best solution I've found for threading dynamo wiring through tight spaces such as fork legs: https://www.velolumino.com/product/premium-22awg-wire/10?cp=true&sa=true&sbp=false&q=false On Monday, November 21, 2022 at 3:30:12 P

[RBW] Re: moisture in dynamo light - am i screwed?

In addition to mounting it properly, I would remove and submerge it in some silica gel/rice/etc to try and draw out as much moisture as possible. To my mind, continuing to use it w/internal moisture increases the odds of a short and/or more significant damage. On Monday, September 12, 2022 at

Re: [RBW] Re: Touring Front, Neo-Retro Back?

The line of logic, as I understand it, is according to Paul, the 'Neo-Retro' brakes are more powerful, yet pose heel clearance issues when used in the rear, so are most often relegated to the front where the bulk of stopping power is needed while their 'Touring' cantis fit better in the rear.

[RBW] Re: Anyone heard the Silver rear hubs?

It's not so hard to strip a black T610 hub to the bare shell, remove the anodizing w/Easy Off HD oven cleaner, wet sand it with 400>800>1500 grit paper, polish it with some Simichrome on a buffing wheel, before rebuilding it with fresh grease. *The one important tip is to really tighten the 10

As a huge fan of both sourdough and stand up comedy I've been loving Tom Papa’s recent Youtube videos of how to bake bread. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzOidAJzuiZ8GnVxie-C-sw/videos They’re fun, accessible, and a really helpful, easy way to learn how to make your own bread at home. In a

Re: [RBW] Re: What're the best cantilever brakes out there?

I run Tektro 720s on my lock up/commuter/porteur and they work just fine with salmon pads, clearing inflated RTPs with ease. I've Pauls on another nicer bike and prefer them over the Tektro 720s, they're the best cantis I've used. However, so long as they're decent brakes, i.e. any of the menti
