[RBW] Hunq-ish Romanceur build with Riv Bullmoose bars

2017-01-16 Thread Philip Kim 
If you got the money no reason not go Paul's, but TRPs are lighter and have 
dual action calipers which can be adjusted separately. Provides more even wear, 
and you're not essentially bending the rotor to one arm to stop. It can also be 
easily adjusted by the cable barrel adjuster as pads wear. So would go TRPs for 
ease of adjustment, lighter, and even pad wear which puts it ahead but not by 
much. But it's really ahead of Paul's because it's also 1/3 the cost.

No logical reason why.

Is it worth asking why?

[RBW] Hunq-ish Romanceur build with Riv Bullmoose bars

2017-01-15 Thread Zach Duval 
This will be my first time using disc brakes. Have you used the TRPs before? I 
have been leaning toward Klampers, as they'very got reviews for solid stopping 
power and the materials seem better for longevity.

What's the fundamental difference between centerlock and 6 bolt?

I'll ride it as a MTB, to complement my Hillborne, up mountainous terrain and 
to the mountains from home (a versatile gear range is preferrable). I'don't 
like to take it on the MT section of the Divide trail, or from Kalispell to 
Banff and back at the least.

I plan to run 26" wheels, with 2.3 or so knobbies, probably on Velocity Blunt 
35s, as well as RTPs eventually.

What kind of riding will you use the Romanceur for? That will determine
gearing, of course, as well as other setup.

The frame looks well thought out, though I'd be somewhat between sizes as
far as top tubes go. I'll be interested to learn more about your build and
about how it rides.

And, I don't think it's too far OT at all; its Rivendellian or at least
Rivendell-esque, if not a Rivendell.

Drivetrain: If it were *mine*, this is what I'd do (27" wheel). Silver bar
end shifters. But I realize that I'm weird.

  46 28
14 89
15 83
16 78
17 73 50
18 69 42
19 65 40
21 59 36
23 54 33
26 48 29
30 41 25

[RBW] Hunq-ish Romanceur build with Riv Bullmoose bars

2017-01-14 Thread Zach Duval 
Anyone want to play build designer on my dime?

Apologies if this is off topic (non-Riv frame), but I'm looking for advice on 
building up my Crust bikes Romanceur frame into a Hunq-inspired trail bike. 
(This is sort of a poor-ish man's Riv, but with disc brakes).

So far I've only got the bars and a SUNXCD crankset (46-28, after the 28 was 
mistakenly shipped instead of a 30).

What additional drivetrain parts would you spec?
