I had Suntour thumb shifters on my Sam. They worked great--pulled enough cable to shift across a nine-speed cassette. Loved that ratchet sound. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receivin

Re: [RBW] Re: Houseless Sam Hillborne in Portland, Oregon

Yep! At what point does a "the owner didn't claim it" bike become "my bike"? When I saw that Sam in San Francisco, locked up outdoors for months on end, I twice placed an ad on Craigslist asking the owner that if she or he no longer wanted that Sam Hillborne parked somewhere in the city, I'd be

[RBW] Re: OT: Lennard Zinn documents heart problem

This doctor at the University of California, San Francisco, says that "when it comes to harmful health effects, sugar is worse than fat." I hope he'll expand his argument to embrace all simple carbohydrates, and I hope more cardiologists -- and more people in general -- listen to him: https://w

[RBW] Re: Riv request for store credits

Last night I purchased one Hail Mary credit and one $100 gift certificate. I'm more than happy to give Rivendell $110. I see it as a cash advance to them. (I would have bought some merchandise, too, but I need nothing now. Will think of something in summer or fall.) -- You received this mess

ily as oil, but it still contains plenty of oil and fat and calories. I find the butter much easier to eat from a spoon than coconut oil. But the butter doesn't melt easily into coffee, so you'll want oil for that. Add some grass-fed butter to your coffee, too. Tastes good. Peopl

[RBW] Re: Thin Gripster alternatives?

If anyone on this list is still considering VP pedals, you might want to read this review from Rob Perks of Ocean Air Cycles: http://oceanaircycles.com/2013/04/22/vp-vice-and-001-pedal-comparison/ The gist: VP Vice pedals have better bearings and a lower Q factor than do the VP-001 pedals (aka

[RBW] Re: Walking boots -- not entirely unrelated to cycling

Thursday Boot Company: https://thursdayboots.com/ Many boot enthusiasts (search online) testify that these boots are just as well-made and durable as boots that look similar and cost more. Supposedly the Thursday Boot people charge a lower markup. Don't know if that's true or not. -- You re
