Re: [RBW] Upright / Relaxed / Swept-Back - Style of Riding

I sold my last drop bar bike earlier this year. One thing to keep in mind is that pain isn’t just about the here and now, it’s a signal that you’re doing additional damage to your body. I keep that in mind because I want to ride for as much of the rest of my life as possible. At 51, bars that are l

[RBW] Atlantis FD clamp size?

I am assuming it is 31.8mm, since it is clearly not 28.6mm. Can anyone confirm? On a related note, anyone have a 31.8mm FD they want to unload? smm -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop r

Garth: Thanks, understand, I also have carried multitudinous specialized small tools instead of trying to get them all in 1 proprietary assemblage.

Hey there, I'm running a 46/30 with a shimano tricolor FD and a 28.6 braze-on adapter on my 2022 Atlantis. Hope it's helpful. Nick in Falls Church VA On Saturday, August 31, 2024 at 7:12:16 PM UTC-4 Kim H. wrote: > I have a stock Shimano front derailleur from my Clem with a clamp diameter >

Re: [RBW] Re: Wolf Tooth 8-Bit multitool: Works well? Worth $70?

I have one of these. It’s a nice tool that packs a lot into a small package. I particularly like the chain pliers and the valve tools. You can also store an extra quick link inside the tool.The only minor complaint I have is the fact that everything is held together magnetically. One of the magnets

[RBW] Re: Atlantis FD clamp size?

Alas, my 28.6 units definitively don't fit. This frame is the last iteration of the Atlantis. Riv says this about it, which is a little inscrutable: "an ovalized seat tube bottom, from a round 28.6, to a lateral 31.8 x 25.4 oval (starts as inch-and-an-eighth, gets squished to an inch by inch a

Tristen, good luck with your Clem search. I am 6' tall with a 90 pbh. I've had two 59 Clem H models at different times, ridden on roads, paths, and some single track. For more off-roadish riding, I'd suggest: - Get a 59. The Clem is a looong, big bike, and the 59 will be plenty big en

[RBW] Re: Upright / Relaxed / Swept-Back - Style of Riding

And the verdict: not for me. Initially it was fun. Felt very different from drop bars or flat/mtb bars. I had a good fit with a longer stem I used, was sized up by the shop and the fit was probably as good as it would get. First ride was 30 minutes and I made a couple of tweaks as my wrists

[RBW] Re: Wolf Tooth 8-Bit multitool: Works well? Worth $70?

I can't speak to it being worth $70 or not. With any multi-tool though, they're only as useful as the various bits can actually fit where and how you need them to on your particular bicycle. The angles and extentions and such, not to mention the tolerances of a particlar bit. Park multi-tools

What an awesome collection of bicyclists and rides! Everyone has their own history, it can be read in the build of their bikes (I've pointed this out before). They've all had adventures in their own pursuits and defined what is "the line" for themselves on those rides. Put them all together an

Interesting. Are you (did you?) use the Ergon GC1 - the ones specifically made for swept back bars?

I too am pretty obsessed with these handlebars & yes, you almost cannot ma
