Jim, what a well-loved and distinctive Bomba. Before I bought my first Riv I seriously considered an unpainted Bomba Proto that was listed as a web special. I'm happy with my Rivs but there's something special about the Bomba (such a cool name). Thanks for your post and the bit about Tammy's im

[RBW] Re: In search of trade: Long shot, at that - 56cm Hillborne for something that fits me better

Changing the stem won't make the frame any smaller, so if standover height is the issue, not much you can do about that, but based on the green bike in the picture and what you've said I would say that a shorter Technomic stem (80mm) might help a little. And raising it up some will help you feel

[RBW] Re: In search of trade: Long shot, at that - 56cm Hillborne for something that fits me better

Standover is certainly 'right there' but find for riding around town and errands, I do not mind. Reach is more of an issue, but with the pullback bars, not at all. I do not want to put a short stem on a bike, I've learned to hate the way it handles. On Tuesday, October 25, 2016 at 9:56:24 AM UT

Re: [RBW] Ultegra Bar End Question/Conundrum

I was able to rotate the spacer and the shifter now has full range of motion. Thanks, Tim! I'm still getting a sort of "click" stop in the middle position. My older Ultegra bar ends don't have this. I tried messing around with the spacer some more and it didn't go away, but in the end, it does

[RBW] Re: Brake comparison again

I would say it's consistent with my experience. "Modulation" gets used a lot around bicycle brakes, and a lot of time very imprecisely. In this case - accurately - we're talking about the range of response. There were a few good articles over the years - one in an Old Reader and another by

Re: [RBW] Ultegra Bar End Question/Conundrum

Glad it worked out for you! Yeah, Shimano bar-ends seem to have a stop in the middle. I don't know why. They're not indexed, but the stop does seem to correspond to the center ring. For this and other reasons, I prefer to use a Silver 1 shifter for the left/front bar-end, and a Shimano indexed

Yeah, I'm curious as well. I have a bike currently running 26 x 1.75" Paselas on Rhino Lytes, and am wondering if the Naches ass tires are indeed wider than the Paselas. I'd love to go a little wider when the Paselas wear out, but Rat Traps are too wide to fit under my fenders (re-radiused VO
