[RBW] Re: Roadini

[Robert Rutter]

I'm intrigued. "it may have one ultra-groovy feature never seen before on 
any of our bikes."

I recently acquired my first Rivendell, a Rambouillet, which I'm enjoying 
very much. I can't wait to see where this leads!

[RBW] Re: Tubeless 24 pound Sam Hillborne, plus "how to easily QR your CX70 brakes"

[Robert Rutter]

How difficult was the tubeless set-up with the Barlow Pass tires?

Sweet looking rig - I imagine it rides very plush!

[RBW] Re: Drop bars on Roadeo demos. Which make/model?

[Robert Rutter]

I noticed them in the pictures and was wondering the same thing. They look 
fairly compact.

[RBW] 650b x 47c to fit 2016/2017 Hunqapillar & Atlantis?

[Robert Rutter]

http://www.wtb.com/pages/road-plus

I was reading about WTB's new "road plus" tires, and noticed that they 
listed 2016/2017 model Rivendell's as bikes that will accept the new tire 
size. I think currently the 650b size is only for smaller frame sizes on 
the Hunqapillar & Atlantis - Are more 650b Rivendells on the horizon?
