Re: [RBW] Re: 135mm hub rear wheel in a roadini?

2023-12-18 Thread Brenton Eastman 
I suppose I should have mentioned it would be a 57cm frame. Love the mix of 
reviews+experience. Thanks all!

 I have a mix of both 130 and 135 OLD bikes in the mix with a few 140mm. My 
 1987 Schwinn Voyageur is 130mm that I have a 132.5 wheelset mounted on. 
 Pretty sure the frame was 126mm OLD prior to me getting it. Settled on 
 that 
 on the wheel to give me the option of going in a 130 or 135mm OLD frame. I 
 have about several bikes with 130mm OLD. Bridgestone MB-0 (Zip), 
 Bridgestone XO-1, Bianchi Perigrine, Schwinn High Plains Aluminum and the 
 Schwinn Voyageur. Wanted to spread the Zip to 135, but was cautioned not 
 to. The Schwinn High Plains Aluminum is a no go because of the aluminum. 
 Both Zip and XO-1 are using Mavic Paris Gao Dakar  hubs. Bianchi is 
 rolling 
 on some Specialized sealed bearing freewheel hubs and the Schwinn is 
 rolling on Shimano Deore DX hubs I swapped out axles and redished down to 
 130mm OLD. Voyageur is running Suntour Superbe Pro.

I've lost count of the number of frames whose rear triangles I've spread.  
The first was a drawn-out, hourlong affair but these days its 5 minutes, a 
2x4 and Bob's-your-uncle.  I wouldn't hesitate to do it in this situation.

Also innumerable are the frames that I've just jammed a larger hub into.  
Makes roadside repairs a little annoying, but it works.

2023-12-18 Thread Johnny Alien 
If you have parts that work for 135 rear and you are not setting it up for 
roadie riding (which I am just guessing because of the dynamo wheelset) 
then it might make sense to try a different Riv frame. The main difference 
with the Roadini is a slightly more road oriented geometry. And even that 
is probably minimal in comparison to industry road bikes. There is so much 
crossover that I don't think you will miss much going to a different frame 
like a Homer.

BTW, regarding spreading the rear.

Just a word of caution, not sure I'd advise this unless you're adventurous
and/or experienced...or crazy.

Or all of the above. And, as always, YMMV.
