[RBW] Re: Seeking derailer recs for a Hillborne build.

Thanks again for the recs, I like that Microshift derailer and the Ultegra suggestions. I also like the Sun XCD/Microshift rear but can't find any new or used. Purchased a used Ultegra for the front and now seeking one for the rear! On Sunday, September 12, 2021 at 12:06:25 AM UTC-4 velomann w

[RBW] Rad article on NYC delivery workers

A long piece on the insanely hard-working bicycle delivery people in NYC. Terrible wages, robberies, stabbings, lack of worker protections. They all ride electric Arrow bikes but you don't have to tell your friction shifters. Great read and excellent photos by Philip Montgomery. https://www.cu

Re: [RBW] Re: Rad article on NYC delivery workers

Doug — Per the article, when called the police offer little help. When stolen bikes are reported the police do not follow up. The police do not seem to recognize the cost of the bikes ($2,000 -- $3,000) or, more importantly, the importance of the bikes to the delivery people as a way to make a

Re: [RBW] Re: The Doctor Who Cycled Around the World

I still can't find this episode. I've tried in Spotify and Apple podcasts. And the Moth website. The 20 Years Later episode is showing a full runtime of 16 minutes on both platforms, nothing but credits at the 15-minute mark. On Monday, September 20, 2021 at 5:46:49 AM UTC-4 John Rinker wrote:

Re: [RBW] Re: The Doctor Who Cycled Around the World

Thanks, Joe, the link worked. But it seems this episode has been updated or the file has changed. The total runtime on all platforms that host this episode is just over 15 minutes. So when I fast forward to that 15-minute mark it's just credits and the episode ends. No cycling doctor. On Monda

[RBW] Clicking MKS bear trap pedal

I just installed a pair of MKS bear trap pedals and have put about 150 miles on them. The right pedal just started clicking. I can feel a dull click when the pedal gets to the three o'clock position. Any ideas for remedies? Thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to

[RBW] Re: Clicking MKS bear trap pedal

Well, people. I swapped the pedals for a spare set of Lambda Grip Kings and I had the same click. Right pedal, dull click at three o'clock. More noticeable at lower speeds, seems to disappear if I'm pedaling real hard. On Wednesday, September 29, 2021 at 3:09:37 PM UTC-4 E. Ricky Creek wrote:
