Thanks for your thoughts Bill and Jan, I'll most likely end up using them as they are only bent slightly.

Seersucker shirts! YES!!! This time I'm getting a minimum of three. The one I have is more like a rag collection after using it constantly all these years. Also, please consider XSmall sizing, too. I've heard various more compact people saying that they always really wanted one, but the Small was just too big. The Smalls were a bit big for me, too, but I could just get away with it and it was sooo worth it.

One thought: changing to CX70 cantis might not result in bad shudder; the design is quite different from CR720s. If you're going that route, I would try the cantis without the fork-mount hanger and/or modding the rack.

[RBW] Re: Bent Handlebars Question
About a week after putting a new pair of Noodles on my Atlantis (whatever the widest non-heat treated width is, possibly 46 actually), it caught a strong gust of wind while leaning on a tree and landed right on the right-side drop. It bent the bars in about 5mm or so. I've been riding the crap out of it for almost a year since, to no ill effect. I'd say ride on and forget about it.

[RBW] Atlantis or Hunq - what's the real difference?
I've had my Atlantis for about half a year now and am loving it. I usually run it with 2.1 WTB Nano's, and feel like I could probably get 2.2's in there actually. Most of the riding I've been doing is on trails, back roads, across fields, over the snow, etc. AKA, not pavement. I don't have any complaints save one - I tend to hit the pedals on the ground somewhat often when I get into bumpy, rocky, or off-camber territory. Not a huge deal, some strategic pedalling takes care of that. However, a few times I've pondered if I'd be better of with a Hunq. But after looking at the geo charts, it looks like the BB-drop is actually identical. Quite a bit of the geo is similar actually. So it makes me wonder, what's really the difference between them? I know the tire clearance has changed over time. Some maxed out at 2.1 I think. Newer Hunq's can handle 2.3's if I'm not mistaken. If we ignore the tire clearance for the moment, is there something I'm missing? Would an Atlantis with Bullmoose bars = Hunq and a Hunq with Noodles = Atlantis? This is mostly out of curiosity. I'm over the moon with my Atlantis and don't hesitate to load it down and take it over the roughest terrain. The frame is so heavy duty I can't imagine it being incapable of handling anything the Hunq could. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

First, what you can't see and what is not published, *the tube selection* , as well as the obvious extra tube :-) Also, the* TT* and *front-center *is longer on the Hunq. , as well as longer* chaninstays *and more* fork rake* . -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Atlantis or Hunq - what's the real difference?
All of these numbers and facts are being pulled from my memory of reading about Rivendells for several years so they may not be 100% accurate but they are probably close. I remember the Atlantis having .9/.6./.9 tubing, which isn't really that stout. I don't know if I've seen the tubing stats for the Hunq but I'm sure they are thicker and may be the same as the Bombadil, which I've read was 1.x straight gauge tubing. I communicated with Grant several years ago when I weighed 360 and the Hunq/Bomba were the only Riv's he would recommend for me. He would not recommend the Atlantis so there is definately a tubing difference.

[RBW] Re: Brake Cable Hanger - Fork Crown Mount
Hi Brian, I'm also about to try the exact same thing, as soon as my order from Riv reaches me. Sounds like I'm in a similar situation to yours, with the cable holder of my V-brakes scraping against the top of the fenders. The brakes still work but the feel at the levers is yucky. Anyway, there's some discussion in this thread https://groups.google.com/d/msg/rbw-owners-bunch/NTxqzWwDImI/chWPnpyCdlcJ including a photo of Bill's Bombadil set up as he described above. For me, other than the amount of threads available for the rack strut, the considerations are the tilt of the front rack and the fact that I will have to re-drill the fender to move the point where it attaches to the front rack forward a centimetre or two. I'll report how it goes. Tom -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
