I had 48's under some mini-v's and it was super tight. That's with a Box Components mini-v which by specs is slightly taller than the MiniMoto. I switched to 42's to improve the room. I can't see me getting fenders under there with the 42's. I have never personally tried the combo you are look

Patrick, thanks for your question and Patch those are helpful visuals. I've wondered how MiniMotos might interact with fenders; certainly on the close side. With a little massaging my 50mm Berthouds might squeeze in there. Thank you again. Best, Rich in ATL On Saturday, February 26, 2022 at 8:

I'm about to put my 60cm frame set with rainbow tube up for sale, just haven't gotten around to taking some pics and posting. Just in case you can go down a size as it does ride a bit on the big size. I usually ride either a 60-62cm road frame and this definitely rides line a 62cm or 25 inch. B

Thanks all for the replies; too bad, as I'm sure the MMs would brake stronger than the Paul cantis. However, the cantis are officially "OK" (per me) for performance, and Exceptional for looks. On Sat, Feb 26, 2022 at 9:41 AM RichS wrote: > Patrick, thanks for your question and Patch those are he

[RBW] Chocomoose vs. Bosco?

2022-02-26 Thread Matthew Williams
Hi all, I'm trying to decide between the Chocomoose and the Nitto B353 "Bosco" bars. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? Do you have a distinct preference for one over the other, and why? Is one set of bars better suited for a specific type of ride, or are they "six of one, half

2022-02-26 Thread David Person
I've not owned a pair of Chocomoose but I do own a pair of standard Choco bars. For me, the inability to set the angle of the bars would be a disadvantage of the Chocomoose. The set reach of 120mm is also more than I'd like. I run my Choco bars 'inverted' like the Chocomoose are arranged and

Having used both (and BoscoMoose): Bosco all day unless you're absolutely positively sure the CM is going to be right for height and reach and angle. The only thing I ended liking about ChocoMoose was they looked great. Joe Bernard On Saturday, February 26, 2022 at 1:58:43 PM UTC-8 Matthew Wil

Nice! It seems exactly like the MT-54S but maybe with a touch more height. The MT-54S is my favorite Nitto stem. On Saturday, February 26, 2022 at 8:15:52 PM UTC-5 eric...@gmail.com wrote: > Seems to me this group would go just plain bananas for this new stem! > > 25.4 clamp with a 4-bolt plate

Woo! I might just buy the FW30 for the Bombadil. I do like the smooth fillets of the Riv version of this stem, but I'm somewhat between sizes on the Riv stems and this has exactly what I want (the 100mm, which will be around 90mm actual I believe). Thanks for sharing Eric! On Saturday, 26 Fe

The Riv Fillet Faceplater is WAY taller than this one. My main beef with Riv's stem offerings is that everything has massive height. That's great when you have small headtubes and need to get the bars up but now that they have sloping top tubes and big headtubes I think they should offer some

While cool and useful, I think Nitto/others need to figure out a better method for welding/brazing the threaded portions of the stem face plate. Currently (sample size of 3 for me), each stem and set of threaded sections are all slightly different, meaning that if for some reason the faceplate

Funny that in their blog post Nitto shares two of Ron's bikes with the Uncle Ron's Back Bars and yet this new stem wouldn't work with 'em! https://bluelug.com/blog/global/nitto-power-stem/ On Saturday, February 26, 2022 at 11:25:40 PM UTC-5 Eric Marth wrote: > Happy to share, Jason! Best o'luc
