The headbadge on my Appaloosa was attached loosely with double-backed foam tape. The curvature of the headbadge was a little wavy contributing to the looseness of the badge which bumped off without any damage to the paint or the badge. Just a gentle tug and it was off. Rivendell sent me some double-backed automotive tape that was too thin to fill the waviness gap between the badge and the headtube. I found some clear and thick Gorilla brand double-sided indoor/outdoor mounting tape from the local hardware store, then attached it to the badge, trimmed the excess, and after cleaning and measuring where to put it back on the bike, attached it to the headtube and taped it in place with masking tape for a day. I had cleaned the badge and headtube with Coleman camp fuel. If ever the badge needs to come off, fishing-line or dental-floss would probably do the trick. The headbadges on earlier Rivendells I have owned were attached more firmly--one by glue and another by screws, and would have been difficult to take off for a repaint.

I might want to put a different one on. Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
