Re: [RBW] WTB/try/ect 650B wheels

I actually do want to run narrower (40-44) tires and have a more aesthetically pleasing wheel profile while doing so. Can't get fenders to fit right, without a lot of extra fabrication and spacer work, with tires less than 50mm wide. On Wednesday, February 29, 2012 8:15:58 PM UTC-8, Patric

Beautiful. Looks darn near perfect! I often wonder if Grant were to design the Atlantis now instead of 1998ish if he would use 650B over 26". On Mar 1, 6:39 am, Thomas Nezovich wrote: > Here are some pictures on newly created  Flickr  page:   > http://flic.kr/ps/29QDzR > On Feb 29, 2012, at 10:

[RBW] Re: A new tent for bicycle camping?

Used a Big Agnes "Seedhouse" for a number of years backpacking. It was plenty light enough, probably too light since the aluminum poles kept splitting at the ends. IIRC the Seedhouse may have been in the low three-pound range so your poles might be a little beefier. Big Agnes replaced the poles

[RBW] WTT: 14-34 5-speed freewheel

This 5-speed 14-34t Suntour freewheel is from an '86 Bridgestone T700. I replaced the original derailler (XT Deerhead) with a 90's XT model and even with a longer B-tension screw, the new derailler just can't accommodate the 34t cog. I'd like to trade for a 30t or 32t max high gear 5-speed fre

Re: [RBW] Re: What's that response called, and which model has it?

Don't forget the 60 and 62 that the Saluki came in before the notion of the "Hiluki." As far as bigger tires, most my early 59cm Hilsen could fit was 38mm w/ fenders. My #14 60cm Saluki fits Hetres with fenders. Back on topic, I feel my current steed, the Saluki is stouter than the Hilsen.

Patch the tire itself. Keep an eye on it. No way I would throw it away either. On Tuesday, April 9, 2013 3:53:23 PM UTC-7, john muhl wrote: > > If these weren't brand new I'd replace it without second thought but the > thought of chucking a $70 tire with such low milage on it makes my inner

[RBW] Re: Headsets and bottom brackets, sexy reliable vs. cheap reliable what's your take?

Tange Levin HS - cheapy but so good. Never needs adjustment, in my experience. Will get a silver CK if the Tange ever wears out. Have a Phil BB but a Shimano UN-5x is currently filling the role with no problems. The Phil will see use again when the Shimano wears out. I used to downhill on a
