I got a sticker recently too. I put it on my tool box. I'm glad it's a clear background... makes its presence subtle. I probably wouldn't have put it on if the background had been white. I saw a guy with alba bars about a year ago. I had no idea what they were so I waved him down and asked. I

I really like the sticker but I wish it was a white background and not clear. I thought it was white because it has a white paper backing but when peeled off it revealed itself as clear. Thusly it did not look good on my window at all. In fact you couldn't see it. So I have been wondering whe

Avoiding them when they fall onto a trike they didn't expect to be way down there can be a challenge.. Thanks Geoff! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To view this discussion on the web visit https://groups.google.com/d/msg/

Same problem here. I ride a local trail a lot, and some days upward of 50% of the walkers have ear buds plugged in; then they get mad because you scared them by passing on the left, even after ringing a bell, etc. Nothing you can do, really, except avoid them when they jump! On 8/12/2011 1:

Hi Joe, That RBW logo is a peel-off sticker. It's a bit of a challenge getting the edge to separate from the backing, but you'll get it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To view this discussion on the web visit https://gro

It's a full-color replica of the headbadge, like you see on the pins and magnets. I couldn't find the sticker/decal on the site. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To view this discussion on the web visit https://groups.google

Looking at the photo on the RBW site, I thought hanging a pair of bells off the rails of a Brooks would be the Riv equivalent of Truck Nutz!! :-D -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To view this discussion on the web visit http

I like it when I get a little extra in my package. My recent vest/pedals/visor order came with two post cards - Hunqapillar and Roadeo - and a round RBW logo that I haven't quite figured out yet. I can't tell if it's a peel-off sticker, or a soak-off decal. Sure is purty, though. -- You receiv

I would add the "BACK OFF Safety Triangle." By far the best $10 I have ever spent. I and a friend had a late start on a long ride and ended up climbing Killington in the dark - the road that goes up Killington doesn't have a ton of traffic, but the speed limit is 55, so people are cruising.

Bells are wonderful things, much better than "on your left", which invariably leads to someone leaping to the left in front of your bike. But both are near useless on my local paths, because everybody uses those damn iPods. I'm usually resigned to approaching slow and far left, hoping they don't

Ooops... was still typing, and somehow sent incomplete... Just saying that I like that it has less of a "GET OUT OF MY WAY" tone than a normal bell or a shout, though it does get some funny looks. My bear bell has a slot just big enough to slide in a rare-earth magnet that I store stuck to my top

When I first read about the bells on the Rivendell site I liked the idea, so I ran upstairs and grabbed my bear bell from my backpack and looped the leather lanyard over my brake cable on my touring bike -- it's a great match, leather strap next to sewn leather bar-wrap. Unfortunately it doesn't j

Three surprising things Rivendell led me to (besides my Saluki and my wife's Betty Foy): 1. It sounds silly to say too much about such a small thing, but as I listened to it jingle on the way home this evening, it struck me that the dollar bell Rivendell sells is as close to perfect as any one d
