(cross Post from internet-bob) Hey all — I’m looking for an upright swept back 25.4 clamp bar that accepts bar end shifters. Either of the three named above would be great for me — it’s for a back-up build so I’m open and will consider alternate suggestions that fit the bill as well. Many than

That's a good tip -- I didn't realize what the Dynamic ll (2) was. SimWorks has a Nitto in silver or black. It's 25.4 (it's a beauty, too) https://sim.works/collections/stems-simworks-by-nitto/products/gettin-hungry-stem-lettuce?variant=16532774595 Velo Orange has one with a 31.8 clamp and remo

Hey Jim -- I don't know what RD came with the Clem but I can't imagine why you couldn't make it work for 9 speed just by working the limit screw (and/or B-Screw depending on how wide of a range you wanted). I'm an Index-Only guy myself so depending on budget I'd look to Shimano 9 for the shifte

I run a lab in NYC: LTI-Lightside (www.lti-lightside.com) We run a lot of C-41 and B+W film, daily -- we no longer handle E-6, though. I've looked through the Darkroom.com site and give them a thumbs up for going after the mail-in market. I think the Riv guys use them and I'm guessing they do

[RBW] Re: Help with fenders

Shoji's links are spot on -- I'd say grab a coffee (or a beer) and read through them. Getting your hands on the JP Weigel / BQ article would be very helpful as well. My 2 cents: I'd suggest a sharp awl as opposed to drilling. Alu fenders are super soft and a small round file will remove the bu

[RBW] Re: OT: Kids' bikes. Islabikes is closing.

We went with a Fairdale Weekender Archer when my son hit 5' 1" or so -- the Adult small size was designed around 27.5 (650b) wheels and with it's sloping top tube was a perfect "grow into" size. We never did install racks or fenders but there were plenty of attachment points on the fork and seat

[RBW] Re: New SimWorks rack

I like that Crust Rack exactly because it doesn't have a diving board (and I like the platform size for the basket, too). The Crust works off a pretty smart "truss" or bracket that attaches to the center hole on a fork crown. That bracket is quite beefy and spreads the load outward similar to a

I run an I-XQ and Son Deluxe Wide Body on my daily ride here in NYC. Considering how many riders use blinking lights in my town the second or two of flicker at spin up almost makes me feel like one of the regulars! And I say spin up because it never flickers at normal rolling speed, which, ofte

Re: [RBW] Chain rubbing rear tire on Clem.

I guess it depends on how you use your bike and how chill a human you are. Me, I tend to be less chill about things like that. It shouldn't happen on a bike that's supposedly spec'd for tires that big (or quite frankly, any properly designed bike). If it's just a matter of spacers not being ins
