[RBW] Re: cliffhanger rims and canti brakes

As it happens I built my Appaloosa this year with Cliffhanger rims and CX-50 canti brakes. Everything works fine. For what it's worth, Velo Orange 700 x 63 fenders give ample clearance over Riddler 45 tires, and I had no problem setting up the brakes to clear the fenders. - K On Sunday,

[RBW] Re: Rene Herse crank wobble/deflection issue(?)

[RBW] Re: Rambouillet vs. Roadeo?

It's nice to read this, however the roadeo is hard to come by and out of my price range. I am curious how the ram would compare to the roadini, haven ridden neither that fits me properly. Any thoughts on speed, steering, comfort...? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to

[RBW] Nitto Andrews R50 Quick Release

Has anyone used the saddle bag quick release system from Nitto, sold on the Riv website? Is it intended that the seat post strap is still used? How does it effect the height of the bag compared to where it would sit without the QR system? -- You received this message because you are

[RBW] WTB: Nitto Quill 130+

Hey Everyone. Finally managed to get myself a Riv. Got lucky and grabbed the recent Hillborne demo bike. Since I'm between sizes on the Hillborne frame I'm trying to make my 51 fit like something closer to a 53-54. I've switched to Albatross bars and am currently running a 12 cm. Nitto

[RBW] Re: New "Hill" Bike is Posted

if I was planning on fitting 2.8's on the Gus, I personally would want a wider rim than a 24mm internal width rim. I have put 2.4's on my blunt ss rims, but that is about the tire width limit I would want on those. The tires just get way too round. Most plus bikes I've seen on the trails have

Re: [RBW] Recomendations For Cycling-Specific Vehicle

A resounding YES indeed. This is the most utilitarian cycling accessory ever conceived. It has all kinds of hooks and such inside to bungee bikes safely and securely. I've taken the rear seats out of mine...it's an older one with the rubber-like mats throughout. Just lift 'em up and wheel 'em

I like full sized regular cab standard 6' bed pickup trucks with a fiberglass shell over the bed, with a Bed Rug padded marine grade full carpet kit covering the inside bed and walls. I like pickups because they are roomy inside, like how cars once were. If I were get something new
