[RBW] Re: Does your Rivendell have lawyer lips?
I believe the only Rivendell I have with lawyer lips is the Quickbeam...somehow they seem to have worn off...so I touched up the raw area with orange paint. :-) Angus On Sep 20, 6:11 pm, William tapebu...@gmail.com wrote: Neither my Hillborne nor my Bombadil has lawyer lips.

[RBW] Re: Does your Rivendell have lawyer lips?
My Atlantis does not have them. I've only had 1 bike with them it was a small job with a file to remove them. IMHO, all the fiddling around with the skewer nut every time the wheel is removed leaves plenty of room for error in getting the correct tension. I support tours on occassion and see many riders needing assistance with this situation. The best skewer levers are the ones marked open and closed. dougP On Sep 20, 4:44 pm, James Warren jimcwar...@earthlink.net wrote: So it was just on Rom/Reds and QB's, unless I'm wrong and someone has another example, but I'm pretty sure that's it.

LL, ca. 1999; A-R, circa 1999: Nope; and nope again. I do seem to recall that, back in the day, Riv and company offered something they called a Paralysis Prevention Device. You had to ask for one with your frame if you wanted it, and it wasn't mentioned a whole lot, presumably to avoid freaking people out.

My Legolas has them. So does my QB but they have been mentioned. I find them mildly annoying, but I would have assumed any insurance company would be insisting on them at this point.
