Try a seat post shim of the same thickness, such as this , and cut it to length. Seat post shims are generally 3" in length so you should have just enough material to work with. On Saturday, October 27, 2018 at 2:19:31 PM UTC-7, Drw wrote: > > Ok but is filling it with a

[RBW] Re: Coverting a Rivendell to Lower Trail

Several years ago, I converted my 58 cm, 700c wheeled Atlantis to 40 mm trail, vs the 65 mm of stock. The reason for the change was to cure an irritating wander at low speeds on hills. I always have several pounds up front in an Acorn Boxy Rando bag. Like you, I was concerned about the law o

[RBW] Seattle area bike packer?

In case my Atlantis needs to be shipped, I might need to find a bike shop that can be trusted to correctly and safely pack it for BikeFlights. I do not trust my local shop to do it, but am willing to take it anywhere between Bellingham and Seattle to find the most trustworthy shop to do it. For t

[RBW] Re: Coverting a Rivendell to Lower Trail

I'd think that the best way to convert a Riv to low trail is to sell the Riv and buy a low-trail bike. Low trail, mid-trail, and high trail are fundamental aspects of a bike, IMO, and if the trail doesn't match what you're looking for then get one that does. Dave Boston/Indy -- You recei

I agree with Brian for the same reason I think carbon forks are a bad idea: The steering area of a singletrack vehicle is simply not the place to cut corners and take chances. Fill that gap! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Coverting a Rivendell to Lower Trail

Like you said, shallow hta could be an issue, but wheel size is also a factor. Any hta could be made to be low trail with enough fork offset, but flop will increase as a result. You could change the fork length to steepen the hta but that will also lower the bb, which is already pretty low on Ri

[RBW] Coverting a Rivendell to Lower Trail

Has anyone converted a Rivendell to a lower trail front geometry? If so, did the change result in problems? Was wondering if the laid back STA & HTA used on Rivendells has an affect when going to a lower trail. John Hawrylak Woodstown NJ -- You received this message because you are subsc

Thanks so much for all of your help and suggestions. It’s more than likely I will end up going with the WI. I’ll just have to learn to live with the black rings. For those of you that have or have used this crank what can you tell me regarding its compatibility with STI? Does it shift nicel

Re: [RBW] Re: Anyone ridden both 26"/700c Atlantis'?

Hi Darin, I never owned a 26” Atlantis, just ridden one that is similarly setup to mine (noodles roughly even with saddle). I’m sort of in the middle of sizes on the Riv sizing chart (6’, 31” inseam, I forget my pbh), but I feel supremely comfortable on my 61cm and on the smaller bike I did inde

[RBW] Re: Anyone ridden both 26"/700c Atlantis'?

I’ve owned a 700c/29er hunqapillar, 26in Atlantis and 650b Atlantis. I’ll second what a few have said. The main difference lies in the wheel size. 26-faster from stop, slower once going. 29-slower from stop, faster once going. 650b-happy middle (for me at least). The geometry matches and is esse
