That looks fine, and a test-at-night with a driving friend will tell the tale. Also good to put a strip of the tape on lengthwise on the crank arm (Sheldon believed "crank" covered it, no need for "arm," but he also lined his lugs using white-out). We have, and you can get elsewhere, silver tap

That's what I want. Thanks. Interesting to see that 110 is surviving in cyclocross. Will try the 38/24 out for a while first before sending, but that's the one I want. A listmember has generously offered 5 9-sp spacers; still nead 11 more One defect (every gearing arrangement is a compromise)

[RBW] Fenders and Rams

2012-11-10 Thread Ryan Ray
My hanjos do not like my Ram with 32mm paselas. It worked but the crown was too shallow to mount the good way and the original brakes are pretty low. Has anyone put the longboards on a ram? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

I have a set of p65 fenders that are less than a week old and just a bit fatter than I need. Does anyone want to swap out a pair of p55 for these? I am riding on 26x2 Marathon Supremes and I wont go any wider so the 55s would be a better fit. The P65s would be great over some Big Apples. Th
