Thanks for the info. It seems that I have an incorrect bolt that works until you want to use a Sheldon Fender nut. It makes me wonder if the brakes had been returned and resold I can't remember where I purchased them. I've used a diorama before but with slightly bigger tires the clearances are tig

Thanks for the thoughtful response Bill. This discussion is helping me think things through. I think what I've been trying to say is that this bike, as I built it, is damn great. I'm having lots of fun riding it all over the place, fast and slow. But the build/position doesn't let me put power

Patrick - sorry for the obscenely long post. I guess I have a lot to say about biking in Atlanta, and some context helps. Is the "G" name Grant? If so, there's a mansion in the Grant Park neighborhood, which is where I grew up, that might be the one you're remembering. Grant was a big deal arou

I tried latex tubes on my Homer. Loved the feel, hated the fact I had to pump the tires up every day, as compared to once a week with the thin Schwalbe tubes. Then I got a flat... didn't know how to fix it quickly... that was it, back to the ultra-light Schwalbe tubes. René On Sat, Sep 9, 2017 at

I've used similarly sized Michelin latex tubes with Hetres and Parimotos successfully. They may be slightly tight circumference-wise, but inflating the tube slightly during installation will take care of that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Ow
