[RBW] Re: Want to move bar end shifter to mounts

Roberta With the information given so far, there is one big "gotcha". What clamp diameter do you need? There are no fewer than five possibilities for what you need, and Paul Thumbies only are made in two of those five sizes. Can you share a photo of your bike? The five possible sizes

Re: [RBW] Want to move bar end shifter to mounts

others mileage may vary, but i recently started using a set of microshift thumbies on a new to me bike. i also have shimano on another bike (as you have) and silver! on another. all set up friction. of the three, the microshift has felt the best.

[RBW] To Chris with the Betty Foy

I took a ride on a local route called the "Arlington Loop" earlier this week, and saw three (!) Rivendells out there while on my Atlantis. The last person I saw was at the exit of a park here in Falls Church, and she was stopped with her Betty Foy (the first I've ever seen IRL!). She was a

Jacob, I my size and weight correspond to yours. For ten years, I have owned both a Homer and a Sam. The Sam is set up for light touring (under 7 days, but mostly 2-3 day tours). It also acts as a grocery-getter when I feel inclined. The Homer is currently outfitted for county road riding,

Re: [RBW] Want to move bar end shifter to mounts

Yeah, the Paul thing is just the pod to which your mount the shifter. It doesn’t include the actual shift mechanism. I swapped the pod on my Uno shifter and it was easy but I had to modify it a bit to make it work. I think you’re looking for a part that you can have mounted at a bike shop. I’m

Oh, this one hurts. A JPW Competition in my size. I have such a soft spot for these and love each and every old Raleigh that Peter has rat-rodded out. I can't swing it at the moment but dear lord oh me oh my it's beautiful and has all the modifications one could dream of! You better believe I

I mounted Rivendell Thumbies on the stem of my Clem. Maybe not universally appealing but it's an option. And not particularly cheap, but what is these days. On Tue, Jul 2, 2024, 5:25 PM Roberta wrote: > Dross, > > Thanks for the speedie reply. > > 8 speed? 9? Dunno. I'm not looking to replace

Re: [RBW] Want to move bar end shifter to mounts

Dross, Thanks for the speedie reply. 8 speed? 9? Dunno. I'm not looking to replace the shifters, just move them to a thumbie mount. Do you think they meant replacing the shifters? This is the web page they sent me:

[RBW] Re: WTB: 54-56 Sam Hillborne (i think? my first riv!) but open to other Rivs

It's very exciting especially when the anticipation is high and the resulting bike is even better. Analog Cycles in VT may have some built up. I think Maine Bike Works is also a dealer. I do believe that there is a Homer riding guy at Keystone bikes in Philadelphia, but they aren't a Riv

Re: [RBW] Want to move bar end shifter to mounts

What speed are you running? The problem with the Paul mount is that you can get a new shifter for less money. I have one of the blingy Uno shifters but I also have two bikes with Microshift and it works just as well. There isn’t too much you can do to engineer a significantly better friction

[RBW] Want to move bar end shifter to mounts

I have Shimano bar end shifters (friction) on my A Homer Hilsen that work fantastically, but I've never liked placement as bar ends, because of me knocking them out of gear with my knee, hand, ooops bike just leaned on a wall ... So I asked my much loved and trusted bike shop, Keystone Bikes,

Hey Christian, I live near Miami Gardens/Miramar area, but currently I'm in Tampa for an internship this summer. What kind of Rivendell are you looking for and what size? Also, I booked the flight and hotel in San Francisco as well as an appointment at Riv HQ to go and try some bikes out lol.
