Good Evening folks. These levers came on my Clem new - installed Paul
levers shortly thereafter. The Oxford is also "as new" - a failed attempt
to make an uncomfortable (non Riv) bike comfortable. It helped, but then I
got my Clem with Bosco - end of story.:)
Its actually a very nice handlebar
Yeah those derailers are a bear to install, or at least the one I messed
with was. I don't intend to do it again!

How is the fit on your current bike and do you have any wrist issues after
long rides or all feels great, always? Just want to make sure your weight
distribution is good on current ride as I worry a touch about whether your
saddle setback and seat angle are putting weight on your wrists.

I have never bothered chasing the bottom bracket threads and haven’t had
any issues. I think if they’re well greased and you don’t have a lot of
resistance, I don’t see a problem. The counter argument is that it’s cheap
and easy to do so you might as well do it right.

The unique thing about typical Riv builds is they're surprisingly flexible
on stack and reach - of course, stack is easily adjusted by the long quill
stems to suit your fancy, but also the reach becomes much less sensitive if
you run a swept bar like an Albatross because there's enough fore-aft

Bob,
My understanding is that this is one of the cases where the physics of
brake design and how they interact with the setup as related to yoke angle
in this case, creates confusion because it is not just the brake design
that has to be considered, but also the yoke angle's part in overall

I've used the Neo-Retro as a front brake for about ten years and have

are brand new I bought from SA. They've increased in price since then so if
