[RBW] Mike-on-the-hill?

At the end of the April 18 Blug post, Grant says of a particular rim and tire combination that it's no Mike-on-the-hill. Anyone care to bring me up to speed on what that means? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe

[RBW] Re: Mike-on-the-hill?

I think he must be referring to Mike cresting the hill in the photo from the Merry Sales cover. Using the photo as a benchmark of cool, the rim and tire combo is cool but not *as *cool. On Thursday, April 18, 2013 4:45:28 PM UTC-7, Aaron Thomas wrote: > > At the end of the April 18 Blug post, G

[RBW] Re: Mike-on-the-hill?

I believe he is referring to the the previous paragraph about Mike on the Hill and the pic taken by Manny. I believe he is saying that the look of the tire on the rim isn't as pretty as the pic of Mike on the Hill. Stephen On Thursday, April 18, 2013 4:45:28 PM UTC-7, Aaron Thomas wrote: > > A

[RBW] Mike-on-the-hill?

He's referring to the image and the previous image of, well, Mike on the hill. He's basically saying it isn't a dynamic, beauty of a shot, but interesting in its own way. Best, Eric -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsub

Amazing how on my iPhone this didn't update at all and now I feel like an ass for responding to the question w/ the sane response as two other, quicker responders. Sorry y'all. -Eric -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsu

Well, you're not a Mike-on-the-hill, but who is? Other than Mike. On the hill. Grin. Mike-on-the-hill: Phrase coined by Grant P. on April 18, 2013 referring to the benchmark of quinticential bicycle riding as an unracer in the wilds. With abandon, Patrick On Thursday, April 18, 2013 6:20:11 PM

Eric: Where did you take these photos? Looks pretty deserted, & great for riding. Down here the term "I.E." refers to the Inland Empire, Riverside & San Bernardino counties. Is there an "I.E." in northern California as well? dougP On Thursday, April 18, 2013 4:07:38 PM UTC-7, Eric Norris

Re: [RBW] Re: Playing Hooky

Ryan - the brake levers are the Dia-Compe. And yes, did upgrade to the DOS freewheel (17/19 in this case). Was having problems with the Shimano last fall. Used hard cider for the broth with the mussels. Suggested by a friend. Ended up quite tasty. And yes, crusty bread. Today we've had 4" or

[RBW] Re: Who steals a bike rack from Rivendell?!?!

So if you have a bike rack, you should lock it up? Or drag it in'n'out of the shop every day? Next the scrappers will be stealing dumpsters. dougP On Wednesday, April 17, 2013 9:21:00 PM UTC-7, Manuel Acosta wrote: > > Just saw this. Pretty pissed. It was an awesome bike rack also with > Rive

I used the 11Ah and mor the 12Ah New Trent batteries for up to a week without a recharge. I kept my phone off or on airplane mode a lot, but that's not unreasonable in places where there is no signal. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunc

[RBW] speaking of the blug... new Atlas rim

Grant mentioned the new beefy touring Atlas rim again, to be made by Velocity right here in the USA. This time I detected a tone like it was already a reality. Checked the Velocity website and it is now listed in 26", 650B and 700C. http://velocity-dev.com/index.php/product/rims/atlas-584 Wide

Re: [RBW] Re: Inland Scenery

This part of the ride was fairly quiet. Riding through the middle of Corona is like urban warfare--lots of high speed traffic, no bike lane, no shoulder. I have to grit my teeth and get through that part as quickly as I can. Eric N www.CampyOnly.com CampyOnlyGuy.blogspot.com Twitter: @CampyOnlyG

[RBW] Thanks and search for 36 hole front hub

First, thanks again and very much to the great generosity of listers who have made it possible for me to build this Ram despite my currently short finances. I am surprised and touched by the generosity and consider it a duty to pass on such generosity as and when I can. Thanks in particular, this

They are too here, but it is usually copper or aluminum, not bike rack steel. On Thursday, April 18, 2013 2:28:31 PM UTC-5, Eric wrote: > Where I'm from scrap metal thefts are a HUGE problem! > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch"
