I do my frames twice a year, at the beginning and end of winter (in MN that works out to november and march usually). This seems like enough, even the frames that get salt and sand and whatnot from the MN snow removal hold up fine. On Mar 15, 12:29 pm, M9091666 wrote: > Once you or Riv has applie

[RBW] OT Can someone reccomend a bike shop on the east side of seattle?

2009-12-20 Thread Joshua Kruck
Sorry for the off topic post. I'm in the east side of Seattle (Issaquah) for the holidays. The bolt for the clamp on dads stem seized and the treads stripped off and I'd like to take care of it for him while I'm here. Could someone point me at a shop that would have a 1 inch threaded quill type ste

I used DuPont color codes when I did a custom color for my Riv. I first found something that was the right color (for the life of me I can't remember what it was), used the computer to look at the paint chips vs. the real thing. Defiantly not full proof, but worked well enough for my needs. I end

I think it all depends on how you gear it. I run my Hillborne with a 46 tooth front ring and 13 rear at times feel slower than I want to be (I tend to mash more than spin too...), but its not the frame keeping me back... So far the lack of bigger gears / faster speeds has only bothered me on RAGBR

A four or six pack beer holder maybe? Probably more disposable than your intending but I've done many a coffee run with a six pack holder full of largish cups in my basket. Works fine. I've found the flying dog four pack to work really well because they are a bit taller. A few koozies and some cr

Last Friday I got my Hillborne! I've got it mostly built up sans bar tape, but I'm not ready to commit to that yet until I decide if I want a shorter stem. Also missing racks all in time. Originally was going to be clear coated steel but due to a mix up I had to pick a color. On a lark I picke

I've got a 60 on order that will be just clear coated (and I'm super excited about it, this is my first Riv). Setup will be pretty close to what Rivendell is selling as their complete: lx hubs on mavic a719's with marathons. Campy front and an lx rear running a 9 spd cassette with an XD2 crank. N
