I haven’t read all the posts (so many, wow!) but I suggest trying a bike

you think can grown on you with time. Bad fit and likely the bars

Maybe your box reads differently than mine. I will quote from the second
sentence on Step 6:
"Rapid airflow seats the tire abruptly, overstretching the tube until it
can rip"
That is the sentence I paraphrased as "don't pump it up fast, pump it up
Since you could easily put the same components on either a Roadeo or a
Roadini (with the possible exception of the stem - if you had a Roadeo with
a threadless steerer), I don't understand how the difference would be in
the components.
Seems to me that the difference would be mostly in the

I received three of the Rene Herse 584x45-68mm variant in the mail this
morning, and installed two on my custom Falconer without issue. The third
will serve as a spare. They measured 56g each and the butyl tubes I
removed weighed 358g combined, so that's over a half-pound of weight
Hi Leah -
I would generally agree with what Ted said. Riding position and fit are
very important. But I don't think that's the only criteria I would use. I
have ten bikes. Five are Rivs. I have a Custom, Quickbeam, Roadeo, Ram and
Hubbuhubbuh. I find that geometry is important in my riding.
I'm watching TPUs, RH TPUs in particular, for possible use if they find a
workable sealant, and this fails to inspire confidence, particularly as RH
claims strong metal valves as a competitive advantage. But presumably RH
will replace or refund for the defective tubes?
