Wow, are you serious? Have you actually seen or experience a chain "flying 
apart" in this manner? In my 25+ years of riding, I've had chains come 
break, but I never saw a chain fly apart like what you described. Of 
course, there's always a first!  

In any event, if you *think* this is going to happen,  I recommend you stay 
far away from these chains. Good Luck!

[RBW] Re: Chain deal ... ?

2012-05-24 Thread Benz

That nonchalantness only applies to the durability factor. They're not
single-speed chains so they will experience lateral forces during
shifts and when run cross-chained. So I'll be more worried about the
things flying apart and me suddenly being able to hit the high notes
than wearing out those chains prematurely, not that I'm saying that
those chains are unsafe...

Re: [RBW] Re: Bosco bars have arrived...

2012-05-24 Thread Olivier Chetelat

Friends of fine cycles,
I made a slight detour on my way to work this morning and picked up a bar
from the Bosco kind at the Rivendell HQ. The aluminum model measuring 58cm.
It will grace a 64 cm Atlantis with a 62 cm top tube. I'm looking forward
to the reduced distance between grips and saddle and the few inches of
additional rise.
The bosco will replace a well loved Albatross this evening. I will document
the process and post a link on this thread as well as first impressions.

May you all have a sunny day,

Olivier
