Re: [RBW] Re: (perhaps) dumb question time (bottle bosses)

[Brian Turner]

I still think it would’ve been neat to include some cargo bosses behind the seat tube on some of the longer chainstays models like Gus, Joe, and Clem. There’s so much space back there, I had a custom frame bag made to fit back there. It holds a lot, too!

My bikes are small and they ALWAYS collide with the front der.  When I hade a custom made, I did a braze-on front der.  1x drivetrains have helped, too On Friday, September 20, 2024 at 10:00:58 AM UTC-4 Michael Baquerizo wrote: i'm ready for the answer to be so obvious that I assume this is a dumb question.  So often, on many bike frame, but also on Riv's - the bottle bosses on the seat tube straddle where the derailleur clamp would go.  however, almost AS often as I see this, I also see plenty of real estate for them to exist ABOVE said clamp area, where they'd no doubt be more easily accessed by a rider. why? it seems so obviously a design flaw, but surely I'M the one in the wrong. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
