[RBW] Rene Herse Triple

2020-01-17 Thread John Rinker
Anybody here have experience with Rene Herse triple cranks paired with a triple front derailleur? It is recommended that one use a 'double' front derailleur with a Rene Herse triple crankset as 'Triple front derailleurs have stepped cages that work only with specific chainring combinations.'

Cross bikes are racing bikes. So most other Riv bikes would be better at more things than the Legolas, but the Legolas would be better at racing cross than most other Riv bikes. The Legolas is a grail bike, in my opinion, because they’re just so beautiful, especially in the larger sizes. Good

Thin tubes, higher BB, a name they might have decals for but can't officially provide (in fact I think they're not allowed to produce new decals). So it's a specific race bike at a custom price, which means why not just get a custom with "Rivendell" on the downtube? -- You received this

What's the big deal? I have never ridden one of these unicorns, but wow, they seem to be more popular than Rodeo. So, I'm really intrigued. Is it simply that you can't get them any longer (or only by special order at custom prices) -- so it's appealing because you can't easily get one?

Agree, that's one of the best looking Clem's I've seen! Beautiful. I am really surprised how many Clems are set up without fenders - not only does the Clem look a lot better with fenders imo, I also think they are a requirement for any "everyday" type of bike.. but then again, it rains here

Some commenters who have owned both MIT AHH and Sam prefer the Sam. Count me in that group. I used to have a 61.6 MIT AHH and a 2016 58 *sidepull *Sam. I now have a 2016 62 *sidepull *Sam, my fav of all 3. The Sam oddly feels more maneuverable, yet stouter to me, but not not slow

I've had both MIT AHH and Sam. I think the AHH is the ticket if you're going to be mostly on roads. If you're going to do some week long tours, or go off road, then a Sam will do well. I personally preferred the MIT AHH before selling it to REC, due to a custom Grand Bois coming in. On

Hi Drew: Your observation about the MIT Homer is one I've had as well. I've ridden my recently built Homer for a couple of months; longest ride being 60 miles. What aeroperf says about the MIT Homer and Sam mirrors my experiences as well. I've owned my Sam since 2015 and have thought many

much as I like my new homer 64, I think the older style double top tubes are prettier. tom horton -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to

The video was slightly vertigo-inducing, but that does indeed look like an awesome ride--scenic, nice dirt mix, appears to be low traffic, too. And the high school jazz band sounds pretty darn good. On Thursday, January 16, 2020 at 7:52:50 PM UTC-5, Bill Lindsay wrote: > > I agree with Austin

I also remember a young lady on that ride on an orange Rambouillet, April or Ann I think. She descended that mountain at a speed that terrified me just watching. I've gotten better at it but I'll NEVER be that brave! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups
