Re: [RBW] Re: Roadini 61 on Craigslist (not mine)

Piaw, the installation in question was the fenders, not the Racer brakes, which are not too arduous to install. The damaged brake was a casualty of the mechanic ostensibly fixing a poor fender installation. And yes, installing fenders had seemed challenging and overly time consuming for me —

[RBW] WTB: Riv "beater" or "beausage" bike/frame

I have a hard time accepting the first few dings on my bikes and therefor I baby the crap out of them! I had an MB-2 as my "beater" bike but it was way too nice to be a beater bike so I sold it to someone who grew up with a father who had the exact same bike. I'd say it found its right home.

Re: [RBW] Riv Hobson - Zingo cable cutter

I have a pair of Park cable cutters - bought about ten years ago. Then I saw Mark Abele using Felco cable cutters. The Felco are not cheap, but they cut Yokozuna Reaction cable housing rather handily this week. Regards, Corwin On Friday, September 23, 2022 at 8:19:17 AM UTC-7 Steven Sweedler

Re: [RBW] Re: Roadini 61 on Craigslist (not mine)

Here, here JJ! I agree completely. Having Mark do the build and set up my bikes is one of the main reasons I buy bikes from Rivendell. Mark raises wrenching on bikes to a very high form of art. Regards, Corwin On Friday, September 23, 2022 at 3:15:28 PM UTC-7 Ryan wrote: > Believe me...I was

Believe me...I was not best pleased, you may be sure BTW, J J, I hope that you presented that bike shop with a bill for that rear brake you went to so much effort to find and they reimbursed you without demur. Those Paul Racers are not cheap. I see on my 2016 invoice for my mixte

Re: [RBW] Re: Roadini 61 on Craigslist (not mine)

That sucks about the 501 skewers, Ryan. Awful. A local shop once serviced a bike (and did a “safety check”) and when I picked it up I noticed that the quick release skewer springs and adjusting nut were missing from the front wheel. They just pushed the skewer through the axle without

Re: [RBW] Re: Roadini 61 on Craigslist (not mine)

Are the Paul's brakes particularly hard to install yourself? One reason why I'm such an adamant adherent of the sidepull caliper is that it's impossible to install wrong. I sold my Heron touring bike with Paul's Neo Retros cantilever brakes in 2007 to a colleague of mine. She got another friend to

Re: [RBW] Re: Roadini 61 on Craigslist (not mine)

Yikes! I would be PISSED! That's inexcusable. A few years ago I took in a set of wheels with Mavic 501 hubs with a couple of other pairs of wheels for some truing to a local BS and when I picked them up, the rear wheel Mavic QR skewer was inexplicably missing. Just...gone. Phoned said bike

Re: [RBW] Re: Roadini 61 on Craigslist (not mine)

Thanks for your note, Andy. I agree 100 percent. My partner *did* *intervene* before the damage occurred, asking the mechanic to put the bike on a stand and take the wheel off. He ignored her. “Honest mistake”. Ugh. On Friday, September 23, 2022 at 7:54:59 AM UTC-4 ascpgh wrote: > More

I still think the original Romulus color is one of the best there was! Here is one example when I owned it: https://www.flickr.com/photos/franklyn/324768705/in/album-72157600050554321/ I also got it repainted at one point and it turned out really well, though obviously it wasn't a stock paint

Re: [RBW] Your preferred non-leather saddle

Saddles are a very personal choice. What fits one may not fit another thus I tread lightly into this topic. Personally, been riding Fizik Alicantes for years. By far the most comfortable saddle on my road bikes. Do have a Prologo nago on my MTB which is quite nice as well. Caveat: But what

Best practice would be to remove the rear derailleur. For future reference, I shipped and checked my Atlantis with Gordon racks front and rear as well as a Nitto decaleur rack and fenders all intact by using an electric bike box, which is larger and much sturdier than the more typical bike

I agree with Ben -- most saddles are arc-shaped and I like flat saddles. I really liked my Velo Orange wide touring saddle. It's firm but not too firm and has a rubbery texture. Bag loops are a plus. I find this saddle to be not breathable enough for me (I don't wear bike shorts). My current

Re: [RBW] Re: Roadini 61 on Craigslist (not mine)

More saintly than I would have been if standing there. "Honest mistake" is the rationalization of a good samaritan not someone with access to tools holding themself out as a mechanic. What was described was a task in need of being done right by someone who didn't do so in the first place.
