[RBW] Re: PSA: Cunningham medical fund

I just donated. Although it is great and generous (as always) of Riv, I will not take a credit from them for the donation. I don't want to profit from this. In return for foregoing the credit, I feel entitled to give my OT 2 cents that this is why we should vote for Bernie Sanders. So that we mi

That's how bad Brownback has destroyed the budget...he had to sell naming rights to the rivers. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to rbw-owners-

Re: [RBW] "Stop pulling up on your pedals"

I went to flat/platform while riding the Siuthern Tier in 2011. I got sick and tired of "hotfoot" and have never considered going back. I have since switched from Grip Kings to Thin Gripsters. I love them and can get off the bike and walk normally and never have the foot pain I had with SPD and

Although I'd like a bit more clearance, if I weren't getting a custom rando bike built, I would be all over this one! What a beautiful Rivendell! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiv

[RBW] Re: Help sizing a AHH (Homer Hilsen)

When I bought my AHH I measured my PBH at 89. Grant suggested a 63 and Keven (he was still at Riv then) suggested 61. I bought the 63. A couple of years later I re-measured my PBH at 87.5. I double and triple checked it so I'm pretty sure the mistake was in the 89cm measurement. I still ride the

Re: [RBW] Re: Naive but very important question: how best to attach 12-packs to your rear rack?

Patrick, you said smooth roads for short distances. I would think that 3 bungee cords would do the trick just fine. I would "X" two of them side to side, and then one longitudinally with the rack. I've found that a pretty good strategy for a box load. -- You received this message because you a

Salt, vinegar and beer are great for recovery from almost everything, from a long ride, to a night on the town to a failed marriage (that last one might take two beers) :-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe fro

Kai, you channeled Garth perfectly! Before I got to the part where you mentioned him, I had to look at your heading again to make sure you weren't him :-) Bullmoose: Have them on the Hunq. For me they need to be saddle height. I had cork grips to begin with and struggled with numbness and was re

[RBW] Re: MIT Roadeo coming?

Christopher, what do you mean that it's still possible to get a new Ram from Japan? Is there NOS out there? Nothing I have read or heard would lead me to believe that there are new Ramboullets coming out of Japan. This would not be the first time I've not known what I'm talking about. -- You

[RBW] MIT Homer pre-order

That certainly is a nice bike! Now with a sloping TT. Looking at geometry charts I see only the 64 has a double TT. That's good because I don't care for a double TT and some of the newer models (maybe the Joe App?) have had them on frames as small as 59 IIRC. -- You received this message beca
