[RBW] Help please! Bottom Bracket Question

2009-03-28 Thread hihi
I was hoping for a bit of advice about bottom brackets since I'm not much of a mechanic. My Atlantis which is a couple of years old has developed a very slight wiggle that seems to be in the bottom bracket. It gets worse if I ride for a while and makes a very slight clicking sound. If I tug on m

I have what may be a stupid question about Paselas. When people say they prefer the non tourguard Paselas, does that mean the steel bead Paselas? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" gro

Can someone who knows please go over the differences between the all rounder and the Atlantis. I've done some searching but can't seem to find a concise answer. I have an Atlantis but want a second bike that's slightly quicker handling for unloaded rides but that's comfortable too. Thanks. On
