So now you've got three rear wheels for this bike. Do you expect to be swapping them in and out frequently with your daily whims? Or do you think one will be the normal? Do you attribute the smaller lash on the TF to it's being NOS? and the larger lash on the TC because it is used? Will yo

Re: [RBW] Has anybody 650'ed a Riv Road?

Hello Peter, Have you checked on the 650b group? https://groups.google.com/g/650b Steve, Super nice build. Plus 1 on using the VO/Roadrunner rando bag, I mount mine to the rack like you did. Just the right size for me, not too big, not too small. John On Tuesday, March 14, 2023 at 11:19:16

[RBW] Re: Tubus Log EVO on a 650B Platypus

Tubus Logo rear rack is a great rear rack for short/normal chainstay's because the pannier rails sit further back. Platypus has long chainstays so a rack without compensation would be more appropriate. Logo will fit 650B. If not, Tubus sells an accessory rack kit to adjust rack mounting poin

Re: [RBW] Re: Taking it to 2

The TF and TC wheels will be occasional wheels, thus quick-on/quick-off systems; at least for now. TC wheel for Spring winds so I can gear down from 76" to 66" without moving the chain -- tho' that's not hard with the QR axle. I may just have the wheel rebuilt as a "main" fixed wheel for the AM-hu

Re: [RBW] Re: Taking it to 2

Forgot: lash: I'm still learning about the different hubs, but I did read that the minimal lash on the TF is due to the bare simplicity of the gear system due, I think in part to the "natural" 75% drop versus the slightly more complex design needed for a smaller drop. I mean to read further to find

[RBW] Hillibikers - do you stand and pedal?

I've recently been riding my more traditional geometry fixed gear quite a bit for "urban commuting". Out of necessity I've been standing and "mashing" more on inclines. I recall most of my "traditional diamond frame bikes" I would stand and pedal a fair amount. Every time I switch back to my C

[RBW] Re: Hillibikers - do you stand and pedal?

I have a 60cm Platypus that I am at the very bottom of PBH recommendation. It is a long bike. I am using VO Granola bars flipped and not as high as most that I see on the list. I still use a pretty long stem and stand to climb often. I taped the front part of the bars for even farther forward g

[RBW] Re: Hillibikers - do you stand and pedal?

Since you already know that the Bosco doesn't work for you with your Clementine, why haven't you changed the bars and stem to allow for more effective reach and use of the steering aixs? I wouldn't touch a Bosco with a ten foot pole either for the very reason you stated. I bought a Tosco and si

[RBW] Re: Hillibikers - do you stand and pedal?

My main mountain bike is a singlespeed so I know what you mean by standing and mashing. For bikes with swept back bars, it just doesn’t work for me to do that. When I had the Clem on steep dirt roads, I sit and spin. First reason, as you stated, bars are too close to your legs. It feels very a

That's pretty aggressive Garth, I don't think Mackenzy signed up for being confronted. To answer the question the thread is about: I use Boscos on my custom and sit bolt upright and love it. I don't stand, I spin, cuz that's my jam. Joe Bernard On Wednesday, March 15, 2023 at 4:52:17 PM UTC-

[RBW] Re: Hillibikers - do you stand and pedal?

MacKenzy, Since, I have owned my Clem "L" bike with Bosco bars from last September, I primarily remain seated and spin. My pace of riding is mostly slow and easy going. I do not feel the need to stand up in the pedals, except only to get temporary relief from sitting in the saddle too long for

[RBW] Re: Hillibikers - do you stand and pedal?

Hmm, I guess I could grab the low flats up front on the Bosco for standing, I hadn't thought of that. It would be similar to a flatbar mountain bike. I'll try it! On Wednesday, March 15, 2023 at 5:21:00 PM UTC-7 Joe Bernard wrote: > That's pretty aggressive Garth, I don't think Mackenzy signed

[RBW] Re: Hillibikers - do you stand and pedal?

Much of what’s been said is why I run the Nitto Bullmoose bars on my Atlantis. It feels swept back enough and I can still get a more ‘aggressive’ riding position should I wish to do so. On Wednesday, March 15, 2023 at 6:06:57 PM UTC-7 Mackenzy Albright wrote: > [image: Clementine2344.jpg] > >
