[RBW] FS - brakes (Shimano BR 550, Dia Compe 981)

2013-10-02 Thread samwell187
Hi everyone, I've got a couple bikes-worth of brakes for sale. The Dia Compes have *great* stopping power, but weren't a great fit on my daily rider. I've upgraded the pads on one set to the Scott/Mathauser salmon pads with smooth posts, and have another set if you want to add them in (I'll inc

I've used two different hubs. The first was a SRAM iLight 3W system that was great, powerful, cheap, and completely undetectable as far as drag or shudder. The second (my current one) is a Shimano DH3N72 -- marginally more expensive, no difference I can tell in power output, but more shuddery at

Pearl and seatpost sold. Regarding the Young: the clamp diameter as I measure it is 25.4 mm. The rise is a little over 3 cm and the distance from min insertion is around 8.5 cm. Still totally functional and in great shape -- "no reason an adult couldn't use it on their bike." -Sam On Wednesd

I don't post here often (because *eep* I do not own a Rivendell!) but I just wanted to chime in that the sentiment expressed by Jim "I suspect those transactions…are still a small eddy compared the flow of goods from Walnut Creek" seems so totally on the mark to me that I wanted to endorse it.

Hi all, As the title says, Nitto Noodles with used Tektro RL520 levers for sale. Quite a bit of use, but 100% functional. There seems to be one minor scratch (I'd estimate < 0.5 mm deep; not structural, hardly noticeable) on the bars, plus some bar tape residue. There's housing cut and taped on

Thanks for the responses, everyone. I've got some pretty clear interest for the tires and 650b wheel, so it looks like those have found a new home; and I've got some qualified interest in the hub, so that's probably spoken for, too. Bars, brakes, miscellany, and 26" wheels still around. Thanks

I like the Panaracer RiBMo tires, though I haven't put too many miles on to compare against, e.g., Schwalbe Marathon Supremes. The RiBMo's seem super beefy though, and everyone I know with them has been very happy with their performance. -Sam On Monday, January 28, 2013 6:41:46 PM UTC-5, Micha
