[RBW] Re: ISO/Recommendation: help me select a 9-speed triple front derailleur

Continuation from above... With that said, can anyone recommend a nice 9-speed triple front derailleur that doesn’t require as much space for the arm to actuate? I think that if I were to replace the derailleur with a derailleur that doesn’t require as much real estate, this would possibly

[RBW] ISO/Recommendation: help me select a 9-speed triple front derailleur

I’m looking for a recommendation for a clamp on 9-speed triple front derailleur for a Toyo built Atlantis. I’m currently running an old 9-speed LX front derailleur that shifts beautifully. I recently purchased some VO fenders and got them installed pretty easily. The only issue that I’m having

Re: [RBW] Using Your Rivendell Vs. Being Precious: A Spectrum

When I was living in Alberta, I had an art studio near a bottle depot. We had a lot of houseless folks in the area for that reason. We were pretty good pals with some of the regulars and we had some very interesting conversations about bike thief's. The main points i remember that i use as

Re: [RBW] Using Your Rivendell Vs. Being Precious: A Spectrum

Austin City Limits needs valet bike parking like Sacramento Area Bicycle Advocates offers at concerts. I parked a lot of crazy nice bikes at Aftershock this year! No Rivendells on my night though. In context, I ride my Atlantis and lean it on stuff and let it get scratches and dirty, but in

Re: [RBW] Using Your Rivendell Vs. Being Precious: A Spectrum

I ride my Rivendells for almost everything, but I'm not going to lock them up outside a grocery store or a bar. Or an outdoor music festival, like Austin City Limits with 75,000 people. I have my beater for those things. The Rivs get 99% of all the riding I do. They get rode hard and put away

Re: [RBW] Re: Using Your Rivendell Vs. Being Precious: A Spectrum

I've lost more cameras than I can count to theft, damage, drops, etc. But to me, that's the price of getting good photos. A camera sitting in a closet won't get good photos, and a bike in a secured garage not getting ridden won't leave you with good memories. (Worse, when that bike gets stolen the

Re: [RBW] Re: Using Your Rivendell Vs. Being Precious: A Spectrum

Great topic with interesting responses. Like Leah, I'm both guilty and innocent. I ride my bikes a lot, but I'm also guilty of planning so I don't have to lock up fancy bikes for significant periods of time. My most used and useful bike, my MAP randonneur, was also my most expensive. I keep a

Re: [RBW] Re: Using Your Rivendell Vs. Being Precious: A Spectrum

Theft scares me , too. I have some pretty hardcore locks and don't lock up for hours at a time if I can avoid it. It may be possible to breathe a little easier in places where the bike culture is, let's say, highly modern. This might encompass a lot of places. Even if I struggle to totally

Re: [RBW] Re: Using Your Rivendell Vs. Being Precious: A Spectrum

after riding a lot of bikes in a lot of terrible conditions i've come to find for the most part a semi well maintained bike is pretty robust and not so worried anymore. the two things that DO worry me is 1. bike theft. Having a bike you can lock up. Ideally the workplace has secure bike

Re: [RBW] Re: Using Your Rivendell Vs. Being Precious: A Spectrum

Thanks, Jim. I’m running studs in the front (Schwalbe Marathon 29x2.0), but not in the back. On days like today, studs on both ends would be better, but where I live we are prone to warm (and fierce) chinook winds, which means that the roads will be clearish for a big chunk of the winter, so

Re: [RBW] Re: Using Your Rivendell Vs. Being Precious: A Spectrum

Mack, I like that setup on your Joe a lot. Cool! Are those 2-inchers studded? I use studded tires in winter (Continental Spike Claw 26 x 2.1") that I got cheap through Craigslist. I have thought of getting a set of studded tires for my Clem, but would need 700c and haven't begun to sort that

[RBW] Re: Kickstand plates, what's up with that?

I remember these discussions from 7 years ago. I took my kickstand off and bought a Click Stand just to be safe before I damaged the plate on my Hunq. Riv said plates on Waterford Riv's were thinner than the Taiwanese Riv's. I thought I remembered someone thinking riding on rough roads had been

[RBW] Re: Platypus and Mini-Motos?

Note that rim width changes the width of the tire not the height of the tire. The height of the tire is usually the problem, not the width. Proper adjustment of the brakes will impact the available clearance. There more vertical that you adjust the arms on a V-brake like the Motolite - the
