One of my big regrets of my Clem is not paying Riv the $40 or $50 they
wanted to install the fenders. Instead, they just arrived in the box.
After a particularly cold rainy ride a couple of years ago, I finally
installed them.
Now it seems I cannot adjust out the tendency of the chain to rub the
wow that 68 Rambouillet for $600. Unfortunately N+1 would probably equal
S-1 for me so I'm not going to pull the trigger on it.

Since the non-political thread seems to be so irritating to people, what
other bike related topics do you find irritating?
For me it's old parts that provide no real benefit over new parts, but it's
supposed to be awesome. I mean sometimes the old stuff is great. I miss
shiny silver parts.
But
I just read all the posts in this thread and it seems there is more arguing
whether this thread is or isn't about politics, than there is actual
political discussion.

I have ridden 23,000 km of brevets on my older Road Standard/Custom. And a
couple hundred KM on my Redwood. I'm now running 650b with Loup Loup Pass,
Tektro R559 brakes, Pacenti PL23 rims. 44/28 up front and 11-32 in the
back. 46cm Noodles, Tektro levers, Microshift 10 speed bar ends.

Where does one find this newsletter? I usually get physical mailings from
RBW but haven't seen one since the most recent catalog.

I suppose all the huge Rosco Mixtes and 64 Clem Ls have been spoken for?
I regret not getting one, it would have made my iBert usable when my kid
was around a year. As it was, it was hard to get on the bike with my 65
Clem H the iBert was mounted. I tried it on my

Why stop with brakes? Maybe Riv should just have one model, all things for
all people right? Your choice whether you want to run 23 mm tires or 63 mm
tires! One frame tubing spec, one wheel size, for all! Any color you
want, as long as it is grilliver?

When choosing a wide range casette - I would look at percentage jumps
rather than tooth jumps. The 17 to 21 jump sounds like a pretty big one,
percentage wise speaking. A 4 tooth jump is much larger in the higher
gears than the lower gears, percentage wise. $0.02 and YMMV.
