Without knowing much about the trail, I would have thought it was too rough/rugged for the Rambouillet?! Impressive, if it is indeed as much off-pavement as I thought it is! For current models, I think I'd go with a Joe Appaloosa, with 2.1-2.2" semi-slick XC type tires and a Choco bar on a

[RBW] Re: Ohio all-rounder update?

It's technically still available, you just have to ask Grant to have your custom built as a mid-'90s All Rounder. The cost to resume a Waterford production run would put the frame perilously close to custom range anyway. Joe Bernard On Monday, July 19, 2021 at 7:42:31 AM UTC-7 S. Greco wrote:

[RBW] Re: FS: Racks n' Sacks n' More - Price drop!

Do Pletscher racks still mount by clamping the seatstays, or do they mount to holes in the seatstays like most other racks nowadays? I might be slightly interested in the rack, but it would matter how those mount. I did not see it still listed on the Riv website, which seems kind of sad.

[RBW] Re: Faceplater failure--anyone else?

I've got the longest faceplate stem (135) holding Bosco bars on my Sam and while I haven't experienced any slipping, it does creak. Had me perplexed for awhile because it only creaks when I'm holding the grips (max torque on the stem) I ride a lot on the center of the bar near the stem

Hey Rivsters, Only a few days left before I'm off, so I'm pricing remaining items to move. Prices include shipping in CONUS. Friday is the last day I'll be able to ship things out. thanks, Robert *Sackville Saddlebag $115* Tan waxed canvas. Bought 2013 or 2014. This is the largest saddlebag

[RBW] Re: Faceplater failure--anyone else?

Regarding issues, I have not had any with mine (though I am a small guy with not way-back bars like boscos). I tend to keep the M5 bolt torque to 5 nm (got a little preset torque wrench from my local Trek store that just has piles of the things) and that tends to keep things from slipping. For

I also tried to buy this one. I happened to be on a road trip heading in that direction anyway. The seller said he promised it to the first called and he kept his word. I'm glad there are still people like him out there. I wish Rivendell would just bring back the all rounder. I would buy one

The last time I went to Europe, I emailed a few bike shops in the city I was going to (Riga, Latvia), and asked if they had any cheaper bikes they would sell me. I told them how tall I am and that I was willing to pay up to 400 euros. One bike shop wrote back, and sold me a very nice mid-90s

It could be a section of a lace-on automotive steering wheel cover for an older thin rim steering wheel. They have similar spacing of the lacing holes. You could do several bicycles with one cover. Laing On Tuesday, July 6, 2021 at 7:31:22 AM UTC-4 john...@gmail.com wrote: > Hello, > > What

[RBW] Re: Faceplater failure--anyone else?

Of course there's always the possibility you got a bad tolerance match between clamp and bar diameters. I've been swapping bars and stems for 30-odd years and sometimes you just get a bad combination. Including with Nitto. On Sunday, July 18, 2021 at 10:02:53 PM UTC-7 Joe Bernard wrote: >
