Re: [RBW] Bicycle trailers

I have a burley Bee double. It's great. It folds down quickly and fits in the trunk of our car. This has worked well on vacations where we took bikes and threw the toddler in the trailer (once unfolded and out of the trunk, of course). It's super convenient for the small footprint and rides well

[RBW] Re: Nitto Lugged Seatpost in 26.8

I'm glad for everyone's sake Riv arranged something with Nitto to offer these posts, since so many of their frames now take this size of seatpost and some of the other options were rather ugly and apparently suffered from QC problems. Would be nice if the S65 and S83( which I am a big fan of)

I won't make it for 2025 - traveling to NYC from the west coast is not gonna be an annual thing. But am already plotting my 2026 return. One thing I will be sure too do - that I found out about after the fact this year - is to attend the Blessing of the Bikes that happens at the Cathedral of St

[RBW] Bicycle trailers

I've been getting curious about hauling bigger and awkward objects by bike and starting to consider bicycle trailers. Does anybody here use them? What do you like and any recommendations? Is it better to have a removable trailer or a dedicated cargo bicycle? Curious to hear other people's takes

[RBW] Re: CX 70 /50 | linear spring hack

Nice tip. Also, take the brake off the frame post and clean and lubricate the arm where the coil spring and the little pin sticks into the frame because the end of the spring needs to swivel inside somewhere. Somehow it helped by cleaning in there to get the brake arm to swivel back and forth

I have used a one-wheeled BOB trailer as well as a two wheeled trailer made by Bike-Rev who, I think, made the trailers for Bike Friday.
