I've heard a handful of folks on either the iBOB or 650b groups say their Riv forks are too stout for their liking. Makes me wonder how much compliance a full blown low trail Jeff Lyon fork or somesuch has compared to the average Riv.
No experience w/ disc, but I'm guessing running fat tires tubeless @ low PSI compensates a bit for the overbuilt nature of disc forks. I remember Matt Chester talking about why he preferred rim brakes.. something to the effect of disc use stressing the frame. Pretty sure Grant mentions this issue as well. Have always wondered if this is just a convenient data point for folks in the rim brake camp, or if it's a serious thing that would cause frame issues down the road. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
