Re: [RBW] Re: WTB Nitto Big Back Rack - LARGE

I have filled surplus fender holes with ear stretcher plugs for some extra bling. They need either a leather washer and loctite, or just glue, to keep from rattling loose. My dynamo taillight of choice is the B&M Toplight Line brake, because...

[RBW] Stack & Reach for Joe Appaloosa & Atlantis

Hello, My name is Johnny. I live in Belgium and I'm Riv Curious. I post from time to time on the iBOB group. I've been obsessed with the idea of owning a Riv for a while. I'm particularly interested in the Atlantis and Appaloosa. Could anyone tell me the stack & reach numbers for a 55cm Atlan

Here's hoping the Roaduno would work. I love having the QB running the three speed. I found a 120 spaced AW hub and a friend helped me make some non-rotation tugs. https://flic.kr/p/2jURZfQ https://flic.kr/p/cScyTj On Tuesday, December 22, 2020 at 1:09:29 PM UTC-5 Tom Wyland wrote: > Lind

[RBW] Re: Tell me about your super-wide drops

Good question :-) I went pretty mental for wide drops over the last couple of years. My habit started with a set of Funn G-Wides a couple of years ago. 500mm wide, 620mm at the drops. That's as wide as the bars on some of my older mtbs. I have them on an old 26er MTB. Based on those, I also put

Re: [RBW] Re: Tell me about your super-wide drops

The difference between ultra-wide drops and wide MTB bars is that wide MTB bars have been mainstream for a while now. Pretty much every MTB I see these days has very wide bars. Shops sell them and are able to help with setup. Other riders can also advise. Here in the EU at least, ultra wide drops a

Hello, Does anyone know if the SKS B65 fender is (or ever was) available in 650B size? Or do people just use the 28" version? (the SKS B65 is the fender that Rivendell recommend for tyres around 55mm) Thanks, Johnny in Belgium -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Go

I've got a Mark's Hub Area rack and bags I'd sell to someone who'd use them more than I do. If that solution would work for you, let me know and I'll send photos and figure out a price. John On Wednesday, January 27, 2021 at 1:31:35 PM UTC-5 diekaiser wrote: >
