Re: [RBW] Re: Roof-topping a Clem L

I seem to remember that the Saris platform rack did not tilt. Not interested in a rack that hangs my bikes. Am I mistaken? On Mon, Mar 30, 2020, 11:13 AM Bicycle Belle Ding Ding! < jonasandle...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dave, Saris makes tilting racks that support bikes with fenders. And they > make a

[RBW] WTB parts for my newish Sam Hillborne

Greetings, RBW list members-- I’m needing some components for my almost new 55cm Sam Hillborne frame/fork/headset/bottom bracket. My preference is silver, not black. I’m 75 and on retirement income, so I’m limited to good quality used parts whenever that makes better sense. In general, Shimano

[RBW] RD compatible with index shifters?

My goal is rear index shifting because I'm mostly deaf to improper shifting in friction mode. My LBS tells me my Shimano 7700 9 speed index bar end shifters are not compatible with my Shimano 9 speed XT rear derailer in index mode. Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution? Dave in

Re: [RBW] Re: RD compatible with index shifters?

This XT RD is black but clean. I examined it carefully with a light and magnifying glass but I see no model number in the parallelogram area. On Mon, Jun 3, 2019, 5:23 PM Nick Payne On Tuesday, 4 June 2019 07:07:06 UTC+10, Dave Redmon wrote: >> >> My goal is rear index shifting

Re: [RBW] RD compatible with index shifters?

Joe, you may be onto something important. With the cable released from the RD and the 9 speed bar end shifter in index mode, I hear only 3 or 4 clicks as I move the shifter from bottom to top. I've used similar Shimano BES over the years (mostly 7 speed), so I felt comfortable installing this 9 sp

Re: [RBW] RD compatible with index shifters?

Thanks for your offer, Bill. Is an internal "reset" of that inner ring required? (I can't budge it even a little.) Is that something my LBS can handle? To be fair, my LBS mech did not install the shifters on the handlebars--I did. Dave On Wed, Jun 5, 2019, 12:41 PM Bill Lindsay Dave > > No pro

The rear bar-end shifter is working properly now. My LBS owner/mech seems to have prevailed. Thank you everyone for your generous tips and advice. Dave in Kansas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this gr

[RBW] Mark's front rack on Sam Hillborne with V brakes

How doable is it to fit a Mark's rack on the front of a Sam Hillborne with V brakes? What type and length of support legs? What's a good source for legs? I have the rack and four legs--two straight at 23 cm and two curved at 14 cm. This is a used set up I purchased recently. Dave in Kansas --

[RBW] Re: Mark's front rack on Sam Hillborne with V brakes

I got it done today, finally! But I used one set of supports (23 cm) not a second set. Next is finding a straight set about 17 cm long. Anyone needing a pair of 13 cm curved supports? Dave in Kansas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bun
