[RBW] Roadini - Seatpost Bolt/Nut (need to replace)

Hi everyone, I guess I've over-tightened the bolt on my Roadini as it's spinning without much torque. When I took out the bolt there were some loose threads that I peeled away. I need to buy a new one and wanted to know if someone has the 'specs' so when I go to my hardware store I can find w

Like Tom, I give the outer leg a little nudge when I fold the twin legged on my Joe Appa with 50mm tires so that it does not rub. I have always been a fan of kickstands in general, as well as fenders, racks and lights on all bikes, but honestly I have been using my kickstand a lot less lately!

[RBW] Dust caps on Clem hubs

Hi, Does anyone know if the dust caps on Clem hubs are meant to spin with the hub or stay stationary? I had a high-frequency noise coming from my front wheel for a while that I finally looked into and found that it was the dust cap rubbing on the hub. I put some oil between the cap and the hub

Hello JS, In this case, switching to the losco bar which have no forward sweep and have a lot of back sweep, it maybe a good idea to follow Will's advice to use an adapter stem, 1 to 1 1/8 and then try different thread less stems until you dial in the extension to your liking. Details were in t
