Re: [RBW] 2021 Appaloosa thread

I remember reading somewhere on the RBW site that you should pick the size for which your PBH is in the middle of the range. Based on the PBH ranges on Appaloosa page, I think that method would recommend 57. My personal preference (you may be different) is to have my seat tube higher than

Re: [RBW] To My Platypus People!

Welcome back, Sam. I'm sure it'll be great. I'm very curious how you feel about the ride Platy vs Chev. The Platy in my 55cm size has a 2 inch longer wheelbase! I have to be careful moving mine around my living room, but I think it makes up for that with the ride. I had considered a Chev

Re: [RBW] 2021 Appaloosa thread

For a 90.5 PBH, what would be the best frame size? I'm 6'-0" and my old 58cm Appaloosa felt like the correct size for me, now I'm worried the 57 will be too small and the 60 will be too big. Any recommendations would be very much appreciated. What say ye? -- You received this message because

I am running 38 x 700c Gravelking Slick . It clears the brakes and fork pretty well. Although clearing through the brake calipers requires getting the air out - this is only a concern when you're

You'll have to let us know if they fit. I also have a 56cm 700c Toyo Atlantis but w 700 x 50 cm Gravelkings. Would love to throw on a pair of Oracle Ridge tires. On Sunday, June 13, 2021 at 9:21:50 PM UTC-5 brettb...@gmail.com wrote: > Greetings! This is my first post as I just took

[RBW] Re: Clothing for hot and humid riding

I've found looser fitting to be more comfy in high heat and humidity. A wicking polyester or thin Merino tee up top and MTB baggy shorts without a liner in them below. My favorite shorts are MUSA Boosuckers, but they are scarce. Under Armor wicking base layer boxers with microbe zapping silver

[RBW] Re: Rivendell Road serial number help

I own Rivendell Road serial # R73M. It is match built. You will find a lot of information about that short-lived venture in Rivendell Reader Issue 15. I bought it on Ebay in 2006. I believe it was delivered to the original owner in 2001. David On Sunday, June 13, 2021 at 9:21:38 PM UTC-5

[RBW] Re: Rivendell Road serial number help

I don't have my Riv Readers any more, but the "M" may represent a match-built AR. Or a Riv custom builder (JS, RS, etc.), but I can't think of anyone with an "M" initial. That's not a Waterford serial number. On Monday, June 14, 2021 at 9:53:37 AM UTC-7 aidan...@gmail.com wrote: >

[RBW] Re: Being Precious About Your Favorite Bike

I usually remove the fenders, wheels, rear derailleur, drop the saddle/seat post, wrap a plastic grocery bag around the drivechain, and turn the handlebars. At that point the bike(s) will stand on its head in a very small space and I can pack other stuff around it. Takes about an hour to put

[RBW] Re: Toyo Atlantis Fleecer Ridge

No experience with the tires, but you might want to double check the wheel size on the bike if you haven't gotten it yet. I think the 56 Toyo Atlantis had 26" wheels-- though pretty sure RH does sell a 2.3" wide knobby in 26" also. Congrats on scoring an original version Atlantis. On

[RBW] Re: Being Precious About Your Favorite Bike

I would bring the Platypus, but I personally never carry a bicycle outside of a vehicle any longer. In 1980, when I was moving back to Florida from Colorado when the roof rack decided to take flight on the interstate with my precious only bicycle at the time, a P-15 Paramount (Reynolds 531

[RBW] Re: Phone holder preferences

I use a RokForm case which has a twistlock similar to the Quad Lock. It also has an backup lanyard and a magnet for use in the car with the car mount. The twistlock on the bike can be a bar mount (which I have) or a threadless stem mount. I have an iPhone, but they also make a Samsung version.

Hi Leah, My 2 cents...take the Platy. You love her and she is your ride. Meant to be ridden and enjoyed and have all the memories. That's why you have her. You have an emotional attachment to every mile with her. Bring along what makes you happy. As far as traveling with your bike. I've

[RBW] Re: Being Precious About Your Favorite Bike

Precious versus valued. "Precious" limits your use of the bike you love, valuing it acknowledges how well it serves you now and for your future riding. I don't ride my Rambouillet to work too often because the trade off of thirteen to fifteen hours of exposure in a rack (in a garage) exceeds
