[RBW] Deore V-Brake issue on Hillborne

Hi! Building up my Hillborne, I tried to put Deore V-brakes on it. However, the Deores would not slide all the way down the brake post/ stud/boss/whatever. The pin which anchors the spring in one of the holes on the brake post did not fully insert into any of the 3 holes. Also, the front brake was

René and Jim, Thank you! The camera is a Flip UltraHD, and the little tripod that goes with it was a huge help. I edited (which was the first time I ever used it) with the iMovie app that came preinstalled on my Mac, super easy to use and have a nice looking final product. -Andy On Jul 3, 9:49

Late to the discussion, but anyway: I use well chosen shorts from Goodwill, where I, at any rate, can find top quality for $4.79. My best are a Patagonia pair and another, longer one, both of good quality nylon and cut loose and long enough that they don't dig in in front or slip down in back when

Deore V brakes, purchased from RBW, work fine on my SH. Did have to place a small spacer (presta valve nut) in front of fork crown when mounting Nitto mini to avoid contact. http://www.flickr.com/photos/carner/4504006453/in/set-72157623654420644/ Is this another Waterford/Taiwan issue? ;-) Dav

[RBW] Re: Paul Racer Brake Pads

The one flaw with the Paul Racer brakes (I have a few sets) is that they require a bit of "extension" from the mounting points to clear the "lobe" at the business end of each caliper arm. Thus, one cannot slap on a nice set of Campagnolo brake holder/pads or an idle set of Koolstop Eagle Claw IIs

The Pari-Moto inflation range (as printed on the sidewall) is 55-75 psi. There is a picture of this on the Riv site in the Pari-Moto product listing. I don't know about the Cypres, but the Hetre max is also 75, and that is where I keep the rear tire with 10-15 psi less in the front. Dave On Jul

[RBW] Re: Deore V-Brake issue on Hillborne

Ahh... well, it actually looks like you had the same "issue" I had. That is, there's a small amount of space between the brake itself and the place where the brake normally seats on the canti-stud. Maybe there's less on yours; I can't tell that closely. Sounds like it's not an issue for you. I may

Hi! I tried to mount a Sugino XD2 crank from RBW on a 107mm VO bottom bracket and couldn't make it work. Mounting the crank onto the spindle, before I had slid it on far enough to get the appropriate torque on the crank bolt, the inner portion of the crank arm interfered with the bottom bracket it

I'm still planning on coming. Did 40+ on the fixie Riv this morning, with a few rolling hills thrown in. That was by far the longest and hilliest fixed gear ride I've done, most of my fixed riding to date has been around town, and my neighborhood is dead flat. 42/17 felt about right, low enough

Whoa, hold on. Scott, are those the "Mountain" pads or the "Road" pads you installed there? Point may be moot, as Riv is out of the Yokozuna cartridge in the mountain version, which from the pics looks to be what I need. Rob in Seattle On Jul 4, 2010, at 6:29 PM, S.Cutshall wrote: Yep,

That sounds kind of odd to me. I use a 107 BB with a Sugino and never had crank arm interference. Actually I've used three different Sugino triple cranks and one FSA square taper crank with the 107mm sized BB and no problems at all. I'll bet that bottom bracket or the crank arm is machined over siz
