Mike, I'll have to do a comparison of LX vs XT... Matthew, I've had similar thoughts on some of the VO stuff. I'm very satisfied with their fenders, and the polyvalent double crank I have has been great but I'd be more comfortable hearing some first hand reports on the hubs, especially at

[RBW] Re: VO Touring Hub vs XT?

Be GOOD to Yourself ... -Thanks Garth! :) Love this comment. So you got me on Phil's site... $400+ for a cassette hub? Out of my league I'm afraid. Looking at the FW Touring hub's there are 36, 40 and 48 degree options... hate to ask the dumb quesiton but what does that mean? Anyone use

[RBW] Re: VO Touring Hub vs XT?

duh. Gotcha... don't know why Phil calls it degree's and not spokes. :) I'll have to check out DT Swiss, I knew they did spokes and rims. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receivi

[RBW] Re: Cockpit Change-out's

Bobby, That's awesome. Exactly what I was wondering about. Glad to see it does work well. William - The thumbie's as a vehicle to swap the shifters is really cool, I hadn't thought about that. I'm not entirely wedded to keeping bar-end's so I'm going to have to look at that. Do the thumb(ie)

e the free hub? Or are the hub's inherently stronger and less maintenance intensive? Tony -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to

[RBW] Re: Cockpit Change-out's

No worries, makes sense about the hinge. Your comment brings up the good question of how often I would really swap out the cockpits... and how much energy really needs to be put into it. I think the DaVinci splitters are the way to go if you want 'plug and play', with an added cost of ~$20/se

Perry, Exactly what I was looking for! Are you still running a similar setup or have you found 'the one' cockipt to serve your needs? Tony -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this grou

Re: [RBW] Re: VO Touring Hub vs XT?

Leslie I'm in the same boat as you, at 250lbs and not a gentle rider I'm more comfortable with 36 spokes... great feedback on the Shimano/Velocity combo. I found a Shimano T780 (XT) hub - http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/us/en/shimano-xt-rear-hub-t780/rp-prod67242 . It does have an alloy

Re: [RBW] VO Touring Hub vs XT?

a problem right?) Shimano XT T780 (from Europe, looks like it's an XT hub, but silver, 36 holes and no disc compatability...) Velocity Dyad Rim's DT Comp Spokes And I'll lace them up myself (with a bit of help!) I'll let you know when I get them rolling! Tony -- You re

Re: [RBW] Re: Fast Freds!

Cool, I'm putting in my order soon. Was pretty set on Nomad Resist tires but now I'm considering the fast freds... the light weight, thin walled doesn't scare me based on my Hetre EL experience on my 650b wheelset, but the price difference is pretty hi. Decisions, decisions! -- You received
