Re: [RBW] Re: AHH Tubing Sticker on Frame

If I remember the post Benz alluded to, Grant said the Waterford, made to order, bikes were a combination of TrueTemper and Reynolds tubing. It kinda makes an identifying sticker useless, how many would you use where? On Tuesday, November 24, 2015 at 11:54:40 PM UTC-5, ted wrote: > > >

AFAIK there is a single set in existence on the proto-joe appaloosa at rivbike HQ. (I suppose there are probably others.) It's a new bar designed by riv and coming with the new Joe Appaloosa (complete) bike. The name is revealed in a gif on the tumblr post.

Hopefully it will shift great! That would be cool. Then you are good to go. Let us know how it goes. If it's all 11-speed spacing I'd think it would work just fine. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this

I'm with you, Eric. Some of Riv's marketing choices puzzle me, too. But then it's Grant's business, not mine. If you want to consider a nice wool jersey, visit Gravel N Grind's website. They are one of the new Riv dealers. I'm not sure sure how their jersey presale is going, but they look

I have a Pletscher Clem rack that will be going on my Joe Appaloosa. Depending on how things go*, I may upgrade to a longboy. Since there has never been a long chainstay bike before these Rivendell models, I suspect there aren't any other racks like the long boy, that are made specifically

Re: [RBW] Eleven speeds on a ten-speed hub

Like most things in life, the 11-speed issue started out as a simple thing: in this case, a request from my wife for indexed shifting, as she wasn't sure she'd be comfortable taking one of her hands off the brakes to make the shift with bar ends or downtubes. Fine, no problem, except no one

Looked at the Edco and one thing that bothers me is that it contacts the freehub body only at two points for the entire cassette - I would worry about wear damage to the freehub. Also tinkering around with my coffee this morning, found this option in Japan
