[RBW] Re: Your Road or Road-ish Riv Rubber Radius (tire width)

I love the Rene Herse options but if the conditions aren't perfect, Panaracer Paselas are just so good on damp/wet roads for confidence braking and cornering. I run the biggest (38s) on my two mainly road bikes, the Homer and the Holdsworth. If they made a 42-44 in the Pasela I probably wouldn'

Great question, John. I did indeed change the bottom bracket. I went from a 117mm to a 113mm. The clearance is pretty nuts, the chainring bolts just clear the chainstay, I can slide an index card between the two and that's it. On Thursday, August 18, 2022 at 3:14:52 PM UTC-4 John Hawrylak wrot

[RBW] Re: Randonneuring Bike

Hi Dick, I've ben thinking about this myself. I believe the most important consideration will be your ability to endure 24 hours in the saddle of your bike. The pace for finishing a brevet within the time limit is not so fast (8.25 mph), so any bike can get you there. As long as your bike puts t

Re: [RBW] Randonneuring Bike

Hello Dick, Sorry, no experience with riding a Riv for a brevet, but last year I did ride a 200K on a Crust Lighting Bolt Canti without any issues. Very comfortable with RH Babyshoe Pass tires. Highly recommend it. JohnS On Thursday, August 18, 2022 at 6:06:49 PM UTC-4 campyo...@me.com wrote:
