Apologies if this has been discussed in a thread missed by my addled brain and weary eyes. For some upcoming family bike adventures, I am in the market for a hitch mounted bike carrier for my Subaru Forester. It must hold four (4) adult-size steel-frame bikes most with albatross bars. I am l

Re: [RBW] Hanging vs Platform Hitch Bike Carriers

Thanks for all the helpful responses. Joe, I appreciate the confirmation on the weight of the racks and that they provide good bike separation. Ray, thanks for the 2" hitch suggestion, tail light obstruction issue, and the tip about the riser. I had not thought of the potential for scraping on sl

Re: [RBW] Hanging vs Platform Hitch Bike Carriers

I really appreciate all the suggestions! Ray, the link to risers was much appreciated as was the link to the Transit racks at Performance. Those are half the price of comparable Yakima product through REI. Though I have high praise for Yakima and REI for always standing behind their products for

[RBW] Re: Upright Riding Saddles.

Another vote for the Brooks B68. I have one and both of my sons ride them. The B68 is hard to find. I have purchased my last two from Public Bikes http://publicbikes.com/p/Brooks-B68-Seat They still seem to have some black ones in stock at closeout prices. On Tuesday, April 8, 2014 11:07:

[RBW] Re: 26" Tire Suggestions?

I have enjoyed riding on Schwalbe Big Apples (26x2.0 and 26x2.15)for several years. For something a little skinnier, I recently mounted a set of Compass 26x1.75 and have liked the ride. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To u

Re: [RBW] Re: Pedal Stroke "Click"

Patrick, I was going to mention, in addition to all the other helpful and possible sources shared already, that it could be a strap. I have a strap from a Saddle Sack that clicks when it hits my fender and only when I pedal. It took me a while to diagnose the source of the sound. Good luck, Er
