The Hollowtech II bottom bracket is a class of external ball bearing bottom brackets. The Hollowtechs have the advantage of being able to run a hollow and larger diameter crank axle: more axle strength with a comparable or lower weight than a square taper BB while still being compatible with st

I ran 650b Cliffhangers with 43mm Panaracer Gravel King slicks for a bit on an AHH. No issues, but I wouldn't be confident going with anything skinnier. On the wheelset, I personally prefer handbuilt wheelsets but I would have no heatburn running Deores with straight gauge spokes. I'd probably g

[RBW] Re: Bike with Riv-like geometry for kids - gravel

2019-09-29 Thread Ed Carolipio
For brand new, another vote for a Brooklyn. I got a Clem L for the wife but it was still too big for her, so I got her the Willow 3 instead. Geometry and ride are very Riv like, though not as "sharp" so I replaced some parts to tighten up the ride. Frame's not bad though to build on, and they're

Congrats on the bike. On the rims, I've had really good luck with rims from Velocity, so IMO no real reason to look beyond their offerings (with exceptions of course, such as a killer deal on an alternate or no stock for size/drillings/color you want.) On the hubs, if you choose the cup-and-co

A set of 38mm Panaracer Paselas on Velocity A23 rims cleared the frame but I had issues with standard caliper brakes on the front. Due to the geometries involved and how the brake mounting bolt goes through both caliper arms, the tire has clearance at the fork but hits the brake on the front ca

Drw mentioned earlier that Keith's rack sits too far forward and a bit high for the Clem. The former puts most of the ahead of the front of the axle rather than behind it, while the latter increases the moment of inertia in the side-to-side direction. Leah's rack, on the other hand, sits several

Grats on the bikes. On the seatpost, you can try using an aluminum soda can as a shim to fill the gap without having to get a new seat post. (Others may have ideas on thin shimming materials as well.) Also, "carbon assembly paste" can help get stiction between the tube/shim/seatpost to help with
