As I look through that link in the first post : http://cyclingabout.com/index.php/2011/11/rohloff-hubs-with-drop-handlebars I'm drawn to #14 the Lenker X-ACT Randonneur Vario Handlebar. Has anyone ever seen these take-apart drop bars in person? I only see little bits of info online and its all

Re: [RBW] These ones go to 11, again

​To put it in perspective, $350 is the MSRP of the standard Dura-Ace cassette. Not my cup-o-tea, but the $350 for a usable 1x11 doesn't seen so bad. Scott​ On Wed, Oct 22, 2014 at 1:16 AM, Jim Bronson wrote: > http://www.jensonusa.com/Shimano-XTR-M9000/Shimano-XTR-CS-M9000-Cassette > > 11-40! >

I would be hard pressed to find a LBS that couldn't get you bearings. QBP lists over 20 different loose ball bearing items in different sizes and grades. On Wed, May 7, 2014 at 9:58 AM, Hugh Flynn wrote: > Bikeman - nice. > > I've actually been to the Bikeman shop as they are semi-local to me

Re: [RBW] Why Wear a Helmet?

I am 100% against helmet laws. That is not 100% against helmets, just against the laws which require persons to wear them. I wear my helmet every time I ride on a pay-to-play ride where they require them. Past that I'll take some fresh air thank you. The pie chart really just makes me laugh.

I don't know the thread, it should be easy to find on the Park website, but a 15mm crankbolt will thread right in.They should work better, and able to take more torque than the allen head bolts. Good luck. Scott On Tue, May 27, 2014 at 11:04 AM, Jim Bronson wrote: > Most cranks I have ever

Re: [RBW] New Trek 10lb. Road Bike with lifetime warranty.

Very nice, yes its very expensive too. I am more realistic and prefer the $5200 SLR6. http://www.trekbikes.com/us/en/bikes/road/performance_race/emonda/emonda_slr_8/# Its 4 pounds heavier but saves me $10,000 while still using the same frameset and still delivering proven Ultegra components The $

Re: [RBW] New Trek 10lb. Road Bike with lifetime warranty.

And I can say that as a former shop employee, Trek is fair with their warranty. They do have rules, just as any other company does, but they are very reasonable in dealing with shops and customers. The absolute easiest company to deal with used to be Schwinn. There were times where they handed

Re: [RBW] Riv headset spacer bell mount outside diameter in line with your spacers, or wider?

If they made one with the spacer the same outer diameter, there wouldn't be enough aluminum to tap out and thread for the bell bolt. The only way to get a spacer mounted bell is to use a thicker spacer. Scott On Sun, Jul 20, 2014 at 1:05 AM, lungimsam wrote: > Looks like the outer spacer moun

Re: [RBW] Re: Front derailer forever overshifting - need help.

Bend it. You won't be trashing a perfectly good derailleur, you will be making a non-functional piece of equipment work.It will take less than 10 seconds. Just grab some needlenose pliers and bend both front edges in, just a tad. See here: http://www.bikewebsite.com/ftdirtop.gif Its an ea

I actually have 2 pairs of those old aerolite pedals and brand new cleats, I love them. Willing to sell one pair if anyone is interested. Started riding on them back in the eighties, they were my first set of clipless pedals. I have since moved on to Look KEO pedals but my aerolites will forever
