[RBW] FS: Random Parts

While I've been quiet in this group, I've been riding my Riv's quite a bit, which was my goal to dial in and stop tinkering with my Clem and Redwood. Those are set up perfectly now, and my other bike, a folding bike that doubles as a tandem/trail-a-bike setup, and I got rid of a beater bike. So,

If you have the long reach calipers that some Riv models use, my experience is they are mostly ineffective with wet rims, so plan your stops carefully. Eric On Mon, Jun 21, 2021 at 2:33 PM Roberta wrote: > Thanks. I used to not go riding when it's cold, either , so now this night > be my next f

Same here. My Atlantis has a 24/34/44 triple, and the Altus handles it fine. IIRC, the Altus is less than $30 at Rivendell (if they have them to sell). dougP On Monday, June 21, 2021 at 6:01:46 AM UTC-7 Bill Schairer wrote: > I ran an Altus on my Atlantis with a 12-36 9 speed cassette and a

Re: [RBW] Riding in rain - Why not?

Not especially, if I ride through mucky areas, I use my water bottle to spray them off once I arrive where I'm going to keep them "clean" or free of debris. Requires a bit more braking power or longer stopping time, but not huge. Rim brake pads don't suck up contamination like disc brake pads do a

I also rock a Cleverhood cape. It hangs pretty loose so it doesn't cause a great deal of condensation underneath unless it's very hot. I'm 5'11"/180cm with some extra weight and the Cleverhood offers great coverage for me. I find that for most purposes if I have fenders, I don't really need rain pa
