I switched out the silver side pulls for the Dia Comp 750-thank you Peter- and mounted the VO Zeppelins and a Tubus rack. I'm pleased. Thanks everyone for the suggestions and support. David

Re: [RBW] Re: New AHH 56cm 650B Build

Great. Just back from a ride on my MB-5 with VO hammered fenders to find tracking says my Homer frameset arrives tomorrow. The ice is till along the Friendship Trail but a beautiful day. Now to start putting the pieces of the new bike together. David

As I see the specifications the XD2 is 24-36-46 and the XD600 is 26-36-46. Being as I'm running a 11-32 cassette and don't live even near any mountains, I think I should be okay. On Mar 10, 2013, at 7:33 AM, NWAJack wrote: > On Thursday, March 7, 2013 1:01:42 PM UTC-6, Davidbea wrote: >> Just

I have Hetres +VO Zepellins on my 58 Saluki (AHH in different life) with no clearance issues. -J, PHL -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to rbw-

Just one example of a 56cm AHH with Hetres (mine) works great... http://www.flickr.com/photos/28889177@N06/8438964731/in/photostream And an example of one with Hetres and fenders (not mine) who also commented that clearance might be not ideal... http://www.flickr.com/photos/kaptainamerika/41538

Re: [RBW] Re: New AHH 56cm 650B Build

Rivendell's geometri chart says maximum tire 650x41 but you found you could fit the 42mm Hetres okay? With possible room for fenders of some sort? David On Mar 9, 2013, at 9:47 AM, Pondero wrote: > David, I had some VO Zepplin fenders and Hetres on my 56cm AHH for a short > time. The clearanc

Re: [RBW] Re: New AHH 56cm 650B Build

David, I had some VO Zepplin fenders and Hetres on my 56cm AHH for a short time. The clearance was too tight for my taste, and I removed the fenders. I enjoy the tires so much and my need for fenders is rather limited. I think others have found a way to make fenders work to their satisfaction

Re: [RBW] Re: New AHH 56cm 650B Build

Thanks. I'll look into Knogs. I'm also looking to on fenders and on three of my 'almost' Rivendells I have and am pleased with the hammered VO fenders. I'd like to use them again but they don't make them wide enough for the Col de la Vie tires I'm starting with. Anybody have any suggestions? Als

Re: [RBW] Re: New AHH 56cm 650B Build

With friction shifters you can run just about anything. For indexed shifting you need to be a bit matchy. The deraillers do not really matter so much. The only issue is that an eight speed chain might be too wide for something like a 10 or 11 speed derailler. As far as shifting all of them basi

I don't ride at night intentionally and went with a cheap set of wheels to start out. On Mar 7, 2013, at 4:10 PM, IanA wrote: > Friction on 8 speed works great. Have you considered building with dynamo > lighting? > > On Thursday, March 7, 2013 12:01:42 PM UTC-7, Davidbea wrote: > Just ma

Re: [RBW] Re: New AHH 56cm 650B Build

Friction 6, 7 or 8 speed you can run pretty much whatever you have. Real nice like that! On Thu, Mar 7, 2013 at 7:26 PM, Pondero wrote: > Hi David, I'm using a Sugino triple, 8-speed cassette, and moved my Silver > friction shifters to the bar ends. All this on my 56cm AHH 650b. I > couldn't
