Re: [RBW] Re: A post asking about posts

I'll second the VO grand cru. I've used it (multiple ones) on all my bikes since 2010. Never an issue and the two bolt adjustment is great for fine tuning a Brooks saddle. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe fr

Yes, that Grand Cru post from VO looks nice for the price. I have a Grand Cru headset and rear hub

Ditto on the Salsa Shaft. Love the way it works. Have 'em on two of my bikes. Unfortunately, first they discontinued the silver ones; only black was available. Then they discontinued them entirely. Seems like every time something comes along that works really well they stop making it. Bad

Re: [RBW] Re: A post asking about posts

Nothing besides price. I love the design of the Nitto S84. But the Thomson comes in more sizes; I bought the Thomson setback for a fat bike that takes a 30.9 mm seat post, a size Nitto doesn't offer in the S84. On Fri, Mar 31, 2017 at 8:57 AM, Steve Palincsar wrote: > And what's the problem wi

And what's the problem with a normal looking post like the Nitto S84 that offers lots of setback? On 03/31/2017 09:23 AM, Tim Gavin wrote: Yes, I prefer the aesthetics of that new one. I have one of the kinked setback posts and it does its job well. But it's visually dissonant; the angle of

Yes, I prefer the aesthetics of that new one. I have one of the kinked setback posts and it does its job well. But it's visually dissonant; the angle of the kink is totally out of parallel with the the rest of the angles on the bike. On Wed, Mar 29, 2017 at 2:35 PM, Stuart Lovinggood wrote: >

Thomson is coming out with a more traditional setback in 25mm, thank heavens: http://www.cxmagazine.com/thomson-25mm-setback-elite-seatpost-road-cross-gravel-alloy-drop-handlebars On Wednesday, March 29, 2017 at 2:06:54 PM UTC-5, Tim Gavin wrote: > > > > On Wed, Mar 29, 2017 at 2:04 PM, Joe Bern

[RBW] Re: A post asking about posts

I think the Thompson posts are great but I perfer the Nitto on this bike. One reason is setback and a limited amount of post. The other is that it matches (lame excuse, whatever). Here is my process for adjusting the campagnolo two bolt: 1 Use leather saddle with flexible skirt 2 Adjust front b

[RBW] Re: A post asking about posts

There was a discussion on the Classic Rendezvous list about this last year, with a lot of complaining about tightening the bolts on two-bolt Campy saddle clamps even with the Campagnolo spanner. The consensus judgement was that the best tool was something like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1pc-

The issue with Thomsons is you have to get the bent version to get any setback. This can be a problem on Rivs sized for about a fistful of post showing. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and sto

[RBW] Re: A post asking about posts

Unless you are set on the Nittos, and nothing wrong with that, I'd second the Thomson posts. I've had them on several bikes and very happy with them. They have a more robust look to them that may or may not appeal to you. On Wednesday, March 29, 2017 at 9:56:45 AM UTC-4, Philip Kim wrote: > >
