Is it just the photo or does your saddle point upwards? Is that your position of choice, sleep?

Mark C, Saturday, 27 October 2007 14:09 (sixteen years ago) link

^ on the fuji
the raleigh's seat is tilted up but that bike is kinda tiny for me

sleep, Sunday, 28 October 2007 06:24 (sixteen years ago) link

Built up the nexus wheel yesterday, assembled bike until 2 am. OK, with the rubber on, that rear wheel weighs 6 lbs 10 oz. Also, Alex Adventurer rims are wiiide.

nice

cutty, Sunday, 28 October 2007 17:58 (sixteen years ago) link

Thx. Just put 15 miles on it into work, with pannier. I'm not used to a bike that slack. It's got a lot of wheel flop. But at speed, a cadillac ride.

I'm wondering if I should take off the Redline fork and put the stock one on. They measure the same tho, same crown height, maybe the stock has a tiny bit less rake. dunno.

Hunt3r, Sunday, 28 October 2007 18:16 (sixteen years ago) link

Are the dropouts horizontal or vertical?

Super Cub, Sunday, 28 October 2007 20:04 (sixteen years ago) link

cutty, Sunday, 28 October 2007 20:38 (sixteen years ago) link

It's track fork ends in back (IRO Rob Roy). Rolling on Performance GT2Ks 700 x 28 @ 70 psi

Hunt3r, Sunday, 28 October 2007 21:02 (sixteen years ago) link

Do internal gear hubs have a built in chain tensioner?

Super Cub, Sunday, 28 October 2007 22:14 (sixteen years ago) link

nice ride, hunter. i'm thinking about picking up a rob roy in that group buy that IRO's running (if it's still available)

gbx, Sunday, 28 October 2007 23:26 (sixteen years ago) link

Is the Rob Roy group buy for complete bike or frameset?

Ooooooo, nice bikes. Give us a banana Cutty!

NickB, Monday, 29 October 2007 09:10 (sixteen years ago) link

Those are really nice, cutty.
xposts-
No built-in tensioner. And of course, as a bolt axle noob, I pulled the wheel over on the way into work today, so I was loose chained and brakeless most of the way in. I thot I knew waht 300 in-lbs felt like.
I think the robroy deal is frameset for like a buck sixty?

Hunt3r, Monday, 29 October 2007 15:35 (sixteen years ago) link

Both my internal bikes have had semi-horiz drops for getting the chain pulled tight...? Both are/were old, though, I dunno what new ones are doing.

Laurel, Monday, 29 October 2007 16:09 (sixteen years ago) link

Hahah I worked out some kind of contortion involving clamping the back tire in my knees while I braced the frame with one hand and tightened the nuts with the other. Bike upside-down, natch.

Laurel, Monday, 29 October 2007 16:11 (sixteen years ago) link

do i buy this for bike-wrenching class? seems a BIT much at $250

OMG paint job hilarious. You will need a teal sweatband for your head to ride it.

looks like that bike smokes doobies

cutty, Monday, 29 October 2007 17:33 (sixteen years ago) link

The only wrench I could buy in a 5 block radius is a 6" adjustable. Downtown: bereft of hardware. AFAIK.

Hunt3r, Monday, 29 October 2007 19:05 (sixteen years ago) link

I have so many of those crappy adjustables (well, like three) from being out and needing one unexpectedly. I started just keeping one of the cheapies in my bag.

Laurel, Monday, 29 October 2007 19:10 (sixteen years ago) link

i used to keep one in my bag, but now it has gone missing. which is fine, actually, since my hubs are strong testimony for why using an adjustable wrench to get yr wheels on and off is really a terrible idea in the long run

gbx, Monday, 29 October 2007 19:56 (sixteen years ago) link

do they round the bolt or su'in? what do i get? SKOOLME PLZ

Hunt3r, Monday, 29 October 2007 20:16 (sixteen years ago) link

adjustable wrenches have started rounding the edges of my nutz bigtime. i try and use a proper 15mm whenever possible

gbx, Monday, 29 October 2007 20:22 (sixteen years ago) link

GBX OTM!

ddb, Monday, 29 October 2007 20:34 (sixteen years ago) link

Oh, I'd just go buy new nuts for like fifty cents a piece at the hardware store. :)

"rounding the edges of my nutz bigtime"

cutty, Monday, 29 October 2007 22:11 (sixteen years ago) link
