Heyo, I've been using the Stan's Dart more and tend to prefer it a bit more than the Dynaplug style of tubeless trail repair. It's worked great in fixing the occasional tubeless puncture, regardless. Photos: https://photos.app.goo.gl/W5XjU4VPwu1cg94G8 It currently has 6 standard plugs (one ext

Had to do some digging, but it turns out it was a prototype for a road bike (brand was 17teeth, frames were built several years ago in taiwan). One of the LBS' in Sac picked them up through a friend. It's a beautiful frame up close, seems pretty well made, and it's a simple bike that can be buil

[RBW] Re: PSA: Cheap fenders killed my bike.

Geez, glad you are not hurt. Not dying vs. a broken frame is a good trade-off in my opinion... Yes on the photos, also it might still be worth telling Riv about the accident. They may have some recs and insight on what the best course of action is. In general, failures teach us a lot about desi

[RBW] Re: Ride Photos

No graffiti bridge photo? I love Winters! It is a wonderful little town that serves as a good resting/refueling point. Very curtious drivers out there and buttery smooth pavement. Not much luck finding off-road routes in that direction, though. Cheers, Collin, slightly east, in Sac On Saturd

[RBW] Re: Dim lighting on SON hub/Edelux II headlight

I'm late to the party, but this is eerily similar to what happened on my Partner's AHH when I switched lights to the edelux (after it didn't work as well as I'd hoped for trails on my bike)! Edelux is finicky with tailights in that you need to get the polarity right (- on the TL to the flat gro

[RBW] Basket Rack with Panniers?

Howdy Folks, I wanted to poll some of the rivendell hive-mind wisdom here. I'm messing around with my current bikepacking setup and wanted to give a shot with front panniers to see how the bike handles. I don't have a dedicated pannier rack for the front of my bike, but I do have the RBW Basket
