Re: [RBW] Re: Tics in the bars at the stem clamp - help

We're bordering here on losing track of the information provided. The very tall stem slammed into the butted section of the headtube is a one-off temporary swap onto Leah's Raspberry Platy, she was not previously running stems dropped that low on any of her bikes. Not the cause of the tic-ing.

[RBW] Re: 126 mm JIS taper SKF bb assembly for 68 mm English bottom bracket; or equally good substitute

Thanks, Nick and Garth. In fact, I learned that RH hopes to restock the SKF in 126 within a month or so, so I will hold out for that period. Question: The SKF bb has cups with integral shoulders. I take it that this means that if you want to offset the spindle a couple of mm to the right (I think

Re: [RBW] Re: Mounting a Ron's Fabio's Chest on my Homer

I have both a Rod Steward and a homebrew Pec Deck. I slightly prefer the Pec Deck — it plays a little nicer with my Tubus Tara low-rider front rack. Having said that, I think I’m going to replace the whole shebang with a Pass and Stow 3-rail rack and Bags by Bird Right Height custom handlebar bag.J

Re: [RBW] Question for Nitto 33R (Big Back Rack, Large) havers

The 32R would not leave me enough room for a fender, or rather, I think the fender would fit but would require some means of attachment to the rack to avoid rattling against it. Neither the 33R nor the 32R has such a downward-facing boss, and even if they did I wouldn't care for the whole drill

FWIW, The only cartridge BB I has fail was a Tange LN-3922, made in Japan. So much for origins .. Meanwhile the Shimano UN series just keeps on spinning and I can't say how many miles. But for the $15 I paid for them, that buys many of them in contrast to a high falootin' bottom bracket, w

[RBW] ISO 170mm crankset

I am going to build up a Romulus and looking for a crankset for it. 170mm, silver. Sugino XD2 would be fine, or something sleeker/lighter would be great too. Anyone have something? I'd like 50/34 or lower gearing -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW

Re: [RBW] Question for Nitto 33R (Big Back Rack, Large) havers

I tried the medium big bag rack on my 60 cm Sam Hillborne. It cleared the wheels, but not by a lot. I tried mounting them with fenders on and that was a no go. I suspect it might be fine depending on the frame geo and size, but if you have a 60cm Sam, I would avoid it. On Tuesday 15 October 202

Re: [RBW] Re: Tics in the bars at the stem clamp - help

Leah Good recap. I would RAISE the stem 20mm to 30mm to ensure it is NOT contacting the butted section of the steerer tube. Your ticing seem to occur with 'slammed' stems and the stem wedge in the butted section may be the cause of the ticing John Hawrylak Woodstown NJ On Monday, October

Is it ok to bump a WTB? Hopefully? Still on the lookout for an XD2 Wide/Low. I'm also open if you have 170mm XD2 crank arms. I can always source the rings and guard separately. Thanks! On Friday, October 11, 2024 at 12:25:17 AM UTC-4 Eric Karnes wrote: > Hi all... > > > Looking to find a class
