John B - I've got two sets of the aero tech design Urban Pedal Pushers. Large. Inseam measures ~ 16.5in or so. When riding I guess my knee is not completely covered - but they don't ride up above my knees. I got like a 35in inseam or so. I'm debating to try the Rivendell baggies. Kinda pr

ITTO post. Wish I had greased that binder bolt, but didn't think/know to do that. The paste helped, but eventually a cheap(er) Kalloy UNO worked better. I think it still had slight grooves from the machining processes. Cheers! mark v. On Sunday, September 8, 2024 at 6:45:45 PM UTC-

>> busted << Hi Dan - no, I did not grease the binder bolt when I built up the bike. Rivendell's instructions even called that out - grease the binder bolt. I'll do that today and give it a go. (i'll probably try to replace the bolt, as i probably went beyond the elastic stretch of the bolt)

hi Bill I see you're using a NITTO S83 seatpost. Any issues with the post slipping? Or do you 'feel' you're cranking on the seat binder bolt much more than the Rivendell recommended 10N-m ? I'm asking as my stock-build Kalloy post slips. I don't know the amount of torque I'm applying to the se
