Re: [RBW] Appaloosa Presale

[Jason Fuller]

Oh neat, looking forward to hearing feedback on that setup.  I would have 
probably gone the other way with some knobby tires and keeping the upright 
setup (upright for me is swept bars but I like them ~level with the 
saddle), but it all depends on what you've got available to ride on!

I use an e-bike chain on my cheviot, because they are much longer and fit 
without putting two together, and they are durable.  No problems so far.

Re: [RBW] Appaloosa Presale

[Joe Bernard]

OH yeah, you need more chain, if you ever accidentally shift to big/big you got 
troubles like you don't wanna see! If that's 9-speed I probably have an extra 
bit with quick-links I can mail you.

Re: [RBW] Appaloosa Presale

[Jay Lonner]

I suspect that you do need a longer chain. Like I said, I've been wrestling
with this question as well, and call your attention to this thread (hoping
that the link works, if not search the RBW-owners-bunch archives for
"Cheviot setup" and and you should be OK)

Re: [RBW] Appaloosa Presale

[David Hays]

Thanks,
On the Riv website on the Appaloosa as opposed to some other models I saw no 
mention of needing a longer chain but I moved to the middle chain ring before 
before chain to another gear and just have the standard chain length.
Suggestions? Should I add additional chain?

Re: [RBW] Appaloosa Presale

[Lithocarpus]

I just got home from the shop.  They showed me one of the new orange 
Appaloosas that was being built up.  The orange is ridiculously gorgeous! 
 It's very slightly on the burnt orange side of the spectrum, particularly 
compared to the reddish-orange roadini that was hanging up nearby.  I think 
the construction pumpkin on the orange XO was a higher-key color, as is the 
color that I decided on with D for my Appaloosa.

And I took a Susie for a lap around the parking lot and have decided that I 
have to sell one of my other bikes so that I can buy a hillibike.  I can't 
wait to take it out for a spin on the trail once my knee is all healed.   
Visiting headquarters is dangerous to my bank account!

Re: [RBW] Appaloosa Presale

[Ian Dickson]

As of an hour ago, I have a brand new 54cm blue Appaloosa frame sitting in 
my apartment. It looks great. That orange is nice, but the blue is weirdly 
soothing to look at, so that's what I got. I'll post photos after I build 
it up. If anyone has any questions about these, let me know.

I've only seen it on the Susie and it has more of a reddish rust look to me

Re: [RBW] Appaloosa Presale

It sure looks close.  I'm head to Walnut Creek tomorrow specifically to 
look at this orange!  I have my Appaloosa with Rick at D getting it 
painted an orange that I think is close to the old construction pumpkin.
