[RBW] Re: Correct Nitto rear rack size?

I used a 32R on my 58 cm Atlantis but had to space it up with a couple of little extender goodies. IIRC Rivendell spec'd the 33R for 58 & up Atlantis & the 32R for 56 & smaller. In those days, the 58 & up had 700c wheels & the 56 & smaller were on 26" wheels. Sounds like a call to Rivendell

[RBW] Who needs a 60 cm Platypus?

Rivendell said today that they have a few Platys they are releasing for sale. A 50 cm demo and several 60s in both colors, I think. After the Bike Snob waxed poetic about how great his Platypus is (also 60 cm) I bet they will be gone soon. https://bikesnobnyc.com/2021/07/23/new-outside-column-8/

[RBW] Re: Cheapo Brake Levers That Work Great

The Shimano brake levers for my 8 speed Shimano IGHs also incorporate the two position cable pulls. The left is just a brake lever, the right incorporates the IGH shifter and quadrant. Got them from Peter White. Laing On Friday, July 23, 2021 at 5:18:34 PM UTC-4 dougP wrote: > Philip: > > If t

[RBW] Re: Cheapo Brake Levers That Work Great

Philip: If they work so well that you'd forgotten about them, call it success. Tektro makes a lever with a clever piece where you hook up the cable. It allows 2 locations. The long pull works with V-brakes & the short pull with others. During my bout of brake-itis, I learned that the pivot

Joe Nice setup. Is the RBW saddlebag a MEDIUM or LARGE, & what is the saddle height in the picture?? One of the best pics for determine what bag fits my frame. John Hawrylak Woodstown NJ On Friday, July 23, 2021 at 4:20:00 PM UTC-4 Joe Bernard wrote: > This is a Medium (32R) on a 55cm Chev

[RBW] Re: Cheapo Brake Levers That Work Great

Are these in fact compatible with both V-brakes (long-pull) and cantilevers (short-pull) as it indicates in the description on the Amazon site? That is usually not the case, but on rare occasions I have seen dual compatibility built into the lever. I'm alway suspect of the descriptions given

[RBW] Re: Correct Nitto rear rack size?

I don't have experience with either rack or bike, but wanted to share info I happened to read on Riv's website the other day. Hopefully it helps: *Two versions:Medium 32R, for frames up to about 54cm.

[RBW] Correct Nitto rear rack size?

Hello All I would greatly appreciate it if anyone can tell me the correct Nitto rear rack size (32R/33R) for a Toyo built 56cm H/Hilsen with 650B wheels. Initially , I was thinking large (33R) but now I am just not sure. The older Toyo built Hilsen frame geometry has me questioning the optimal

I just realized that the stop-gap levers I spent all of $12 on while waiting for "real" levers to come off backorder are still on the Platypus. I hadn't bothered ordering replacements because they work so well I'd forgotten about them! In silver or black; https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083

Re: [RBW] Re: 2021 Appaloosa thread

Adam, I would go with a 2x9 or 2x10, silver wide/low with the chain guard. Excellent value. Appaloosas are great for hauling lots of stuff, and if you take it on trails, I doubt you will need that big ring. Every time I've set up a triple on mine, it's never lasted long because I never need that
