Re: [RBW] Re: What shoes does your Riv wear?

Panaracer Pro Tite for me. Found most other tires (like Gravel Kings and Rene Herse) good, but more aspirational about the riding I “could do” versus what I “really do”. I’m burned out on tan walls right now, so black wins for me. On Tuesday, October 3, 2023 at 5:27:09 PM UTC-5 divis...@gmai

Re: [RBW] Re: What shoes does your Riv wear?

GK Slicks and Compass/RH slicks do get pinhole punctures, but tire pressure and tire age are both factors. All the Compass/RH tires I've ever ridden have been acquired used (I have a NIP Babyshoe Pass that I have yet to try), so the tread had cured at least a little bit before I got them. I hav

Re: [RBW] Re: Best mitten design for very cold weather

I've used an older version of these First Lite mittens for hunting, and they also had enough feel to operate my cameras. Obviously, they are expensive. My version was much cheaper

Re: [RBW] Re: What shoes does your Riv wear?

As with gearing and saddles, so with tires; tastes vary vastly. I know experienced riders who can't be bothered to figure out their gears; if they can find a gear that is pretty good in most riding situations, they're happy -- they look blank when you ask them what rings and cogs they are using.

Re: [RBW] Re: Best mitten design for very cold weather

The trouble with those, besides being bulky looking, is our big temperature differentials. I can often leave at 9 am at 18*F and come back at 50*F. I daresay that if I were riding long periods at sub 20* I'd think differently. On Tue, Oct 3, 2023 at 9:54 AM Wesley wrote: > Honestly, Bar Mitts br

Re: [RBW] Re: What shoes does your Riv wear?

In fact, I think it was Grant (or maybe Sheldon Brown?) who turned me onto the idea that wide tires are great, especially when they're NOT knobby. For the past 15 years, it's been Panaracer Paselas for my road bike and Schwalbe Big Apple/Fat Frank for my commute/errand bike. The idea that there

Re: [RBW] Re: What shoes does your Riv wear?

My Quickbeam is wearing Riv Jack Brown 700x33.3, which I over-inflate to 80psi so I don't have to inflate as often. It's my commuter. I should probably really run them at about 70psi, and fill them more often, but I'm lazy. My 1999 Riv Custom was from when 700x28 were considered "fat meat" sup

Re: [RBW] Re: Best mitten design for very cold weather

Honestly, Bar Mitts brand neoprene pogies are so amazing that I would recommend just buying enough pairs that you can put them on each bike. Or swapping one pair between bikes as necessary (that can be complicated on the drop-bar version, depending on your cable routing). They are far beyond an

Re: [RBW] Re: Best mitten design for very cold weather

Thanks all again. Now the problem is, there are too many damned choices. My first choice would be that Gander hunters' mitten with the flip-back finger cover but I can't find it online. I'll have to review the other choices again, but right now (probably because I just looked at it) I'm leaning at

Re: [RBW] Re: What shoes does your Riv wear?

I doubt that Grant was intentionally designing his bikes specifically to handle better with knobbier tires. I think it's more a product of his own views of how a bike should handle and the tires that were available/common at the time he designed the bike. On the first point, he's written a few

Re: [RBW] Re: What shoes does your Riv wear?

OK, somebody made the point about my Rene Herse 700x48s probably measuring small. Yes, they are more like 44mm wide on my Velocity Dyads. For me the fenders always limit the tire size. I ran 42mm tires max under my 50mm SKS fenders. I just installed 63mm VO venders on my Platy and realized I

I use the LL Bean buckskin chopper mittens over a pair of Riv dotty wool gloves. I find the mitten liner the chopper mitts come with to be TOO warm, in fact, and my hands sweat. (I think they're synthetic.) It's also nice to have some dexterity with actual gloves underneath rather than another p
