[RBW] Harlequin How-To

I finally got the hang of getting a video set up on doing a diamond pattern bar wrap. Have a look if you are interested in this style. I would love your feedback on how to make this more helpful. http://wp.me/p1kJzU-4K Brian Seattle, WA -- You received this message because you are subscribed

I've admired your (and other diamond wrapped bars). The video is great. Perhaps it's time to give it a try myself. --Smitty On Friday, December 28, 2012 12:51:45 AM UTC-8, stonehog wrote: > > I finally got the hang of getting a video set up on doing a diamond > pattern bar wrap. Have a look if

Well kids, The weather forecast for Jan 1 is looking pretty good, so I say we should do a PDX Riv ride. Here's what I have in mind... New Year's Day Taco Ride! Going off of Leaf "Mike" Slayer's suggestion... meet downtown, ride up to Pittock Mansion, across Skyline to Forest Park, and down to

Actually, as I think about it, mine is made by Carradice and is the green color. Carradice made it for a while before there were delivery issues, at which time Riv went to the Baggins line made in the US. Greg On Friday, December 28, 2012 10:55:52 AM UTC-8, Greg J wrote: > > Jon, > > I also ha

Hi all, The building of my A.H.H. seems to be stalling out over rim selection. Is the Velocity Synergy the only 650b rim being sold for use with rim brakes? And a related question, has anyone built up one of these for use by a Clydesdale? I am well over 200lbs and am looking for a strong reli

Kirk Pacenti has a 650b box rim, the PL23. Anthony at Longleaf has Velocity A23 made in 650b, a Dyad-like rim; I built up a set on 36h. A hard-to-find rim in the US, a Rigida Sphinx is supposed to be a solid rim, too. Velocity also has the Twin Hollow, but I'd go w/ the Synergy over it. I hav

I went with the Dyad 36 hole rim and Phil "Rivy" freewheel hub when I had wheels built for my Hillborne. Rich built them and they have been nothing short of incredible, haven't been out of true yet and I rode probably at least 5000 miles on them this year. My vote goes for the dyad laced to a g

I use more muscle and inside overlap when going around curves. I gave up doing the diamond pattern on the curves as it never looked quite right - they get squished. Brian Seattle, WA On Fri, Dec 28, 2012 at 1:41 PM, Tony Lockhart wrote: > Great video and excellent soundtrack! I really liked ho

The Dyads have not been made in 650B recently. The A23 is the closest replacement and was made in a special batch for Longleaf Bicyles. I also have a set of 650B Dyads and they seem like a good rim. ~mike On Friday, December 28, 2012 1:42:56 PM UTC-8, RJM wrote: > > I went with the Dyad 36 h
