Just as a point of reference: this occurs with a few of my (non Riv)
bikes , too. It seems the Campy skewer and (Campy) derailer just want
to take up the same space on a bike with older Shimano vertical drop-
outs. The secret move as mentioned already (if you are installing the

I have a Waterford-build Riv mountain bike. It's made of 753 tubing
and has the A/R crown. The original plan was to have MB-0 type forks,
but it turned out to be way too hard to bend the fork blade to fit the
crown Grant had made. Too bad - I saw a prototype and it was truly
amazing to behold.

sorry for only now responding... I measure 8.5" from my bag loop
bottoms to the rack surface top. I have about an inch less than that
between the Nitto saddlebag grip bottom and rhe rack surface top.

That 12-32 cassette you describe that Robert Beckman used is still available

For them to decline on your 13-32 combo is weird. All that is is a standard
12-32 with a 13 in place of 12. You might also check out Loose Screws:

What resources did you use in planning your trip?
I think Adventure Cycling has maps of the route.
Did you use those?

Hi Mike,
It's an easy fix. With some wheel combos we've found the lower edge of
the rear dropout--the "top" edge of the opening of the slot,
interferes about 1-2mm. Not enough to prevent anything, but enough
for a temporary frustration. Sometimes. The fix is low-tech and to
some may seem off-putt
Thanks for the replies Doug and Steve.
I do only use friction so spacing is not critical. I've contacted
Harris about making cassettes other than what's listed as their 13-32
isn't exactly what I was looking for. I was declined on
13,14,16,18,21,24,28,32 as there are no single 16 or 18 cogs,

Besides, other than NOS, there's not even a word for something like
this. Well, not yet anyway...
"Newsage?" "Beauvo-Nuovo?" "Carton Queen?"
Just doesn't have the same vibe, although #3 pretty well sums it up
for me.
