[RBW] Re: New Cheviot Day

thanks again for the nice words, everybody. the 50mm big bens fit comfortably. Will told me he had them on his with fenders, but there is definitely some finagling involved. I just measured them with the caliper and it came in at 46mm, slightly narrower than claimed. I rode the bike to work to

[RBW] Re: New Cheviot Day

I have the same color Cheviot in a 55 but mine is "junked up" with front and rear racks, fenders, and a kick stand. Makes me want to go lean and clean on the bike (but I won't - the Honjo fenders cost a fortune to buy and install). On Sunday, June 4, 2017 at 3:25:55 PM UTC-4, adam leibow wrote

Adam, do you know the true width of the Big Bens on your set-up, and how comfortably do they fit? Barely, or do you have any room to spare? Thanks. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and s

thanks for the comments - this green color is amazing. i was excited to see how it would look with the cream & natural colors. i agree & think it looks cool. it rides pretty amazing. very burly but also lively. not terribly heavy. i rode up some steep SF grades with it and it did just fine. i've

Re: [RBW] Re: New Cheviot build shakedown ride

I had those brake levers in my Betty a few years ago, with the same handlebar. Had a front Paul Racer and a rear Silver brake. Found that when I needed to brake hard, like on a steep downhill, the levers would flex and I couldn't stop the bike. Switching to Paul reverse brake levers fixed that. Not

Thanks. Good to know! The "no-tool" approach is what sparked my interest on these hubs. Your 1.5 years of use w/o maintenance under mixed conditions, assuming average mileage use, is pretty good on anyone's standards. I repack my cup and cone on my commuter every 6 months or so but not because

Love the flipped Sparrow bars - has a good old-school feel to it. Have you tried the Ergon grips designed for the swept-back bars (GC1 I think)? Not sure there's all that different from the standard ones, but I really like them on a MAP/Ahearne bar mounted relatively far and low as a compromise
