[RBW] Re: Which bottom bracket to get?

Riv has 107 and 110 in stock. If it fits ok now get the 110 again, if the 1×-ness of your setup leaves the cranks out too far then 107 should fix you up. On Tuesday, April 27, 2021 at 10:06:05 PM UTC-7 Kushan wrote: > I think Rivendell recommends 110 mm. This one should >

I think Rivendell recommends 110 mm. This one should most likely work (Ri

Thanks Ben. I have heard a lot about Colman Valley Rd from others but decided to play it safe with Bay Hill Road. In hindside, I am glad I did given the amount of walking I had to do with the "easy" option I took. Regardless, riding in Sonoma just can't be beaten. On Thursday, April 22, 2021 a

Oh wow, Leah! In theory that *shouldn't* matter, I don't think. It's coaxial wire, so there should be minimal electrical impedance (if that were a double strand though, definitely no bueno). The wraps around the forks also shouldn't be issue (for coaxial or double). The additional resistance fr

Re: [RBW] Re: Dim lighting on SON hub/Edelux II headlight

Holy cow that's a a lot of wire. Lots of wraps around the fork, then a big bundle behind the bottom bracket. Hey electricity people, would all that length cause current issues going to the lights?* *I realize this is probably a really dumb question. I'm good for that! On Tuesday, April 27, 202

[RBW] Which bottom bracket to get?

Hi, I need a new bottom bracket for my 55cm Appaloosa. I am running a 1x9 drivetrain with a vintage White Industries Sugino crankset and a Wolf-Tooth chainring. I believe the stock bottom bracket was a 110 mm wide unit. I see Rivendell sells a 107 Shimano one. Which one is best for me? The bi

Re: [RBW] Re: Dim lighting on SON hub/Edelux II headlight

Ben, Analog built the wheels and did the anodizing, Leah got the frame from Riv and had the rest of the build done locally, from what I recall On Tuesday, April 27, 2021 at 2:47:12 PM UTC-7 Ben Miller wrote: > Hm, I seem to recall the movies being really dark, too dark to see which > side its c

EXACTLY. I vote that flipping the wheel is the correct move that fixes everything. I believe! 🙌 Joe Bernard On Tuesday, April 27, 2021 at 2:45:29 PM UTC-7 campyo...@me.com wrote: > I don’t care what they say. Schmidt connectors ALWAYS go on the righthand > side! That rule is written in stone!

Hm, I seem to recall the movies being really dark, too dark to see which side its connected on. But didn't Analog wire it up? With the connector wire being on oneside vs the other (drive vs nondrive?) Ben On Tuesday, April 27, 2021 at 2:24:34 PM UTC-7 Bicycle Belle Ding Ding! wrote: > Don’t

Re: [RBW] Re: Dim lighting on SON hub/Edelux II headlight

Interesting catch by Analog, after reviewing the photo: the wheel is backwards. The connector for the hub should be on the right side. The drive side. I can’t believe none of us noticed! I’ll call the shop and tell them to flip it. That’s a start. Sent from my iPhone > On Apr 25, 2021, at 12:3

Hey folks, I need a Rivendell to ride with my wife, now that she has a Platypus. Building up her Platy and riding it a bit really made me want a Rivendell of my own again. I owned a Bombadil many years ago and really miss that bike now. That said, I have settled on wanting a canti Sam Hillbor
