Joe, this picture was incredibly helpful - once I saw it the Riv instructions made immediate sense. This method does result in a few more links than Sheldon's guideline would call for, but I don't see an immediate downside to being able to accommodate a slightly longer chain.

2020-02-29 Thread Jay Lonner
derailers I have on hand (IRD Alpina-f, Suntour XC-9000) both have a lot of daylight between the bottom of the cage and the chainguard. It looks funny, but would it affect performance? I'm open to buying a new part if needed, but am getting a bit Marie Kondo and would rather declutter my parts

As above - I have one of the new Riv sweaters in size XXL that I would like to trade for an XL. I'm 6'3", 210#, long arms and torso, and the XXL is little generous on me - workable, but not ideal. Maybe you have an XL that's a bit snug? Riv HQ is sold out across th

It's an entirely reasonable listing. Rivendell punches above its weight in terms of influencing bike design. The Casseroll has many Riv-ish characteristics and is an affordable compromise. I hope that the RBW list is more about an approach to cycling than brand loyalty. Jay Lonner Bellingha
