Hi. I have a mostly/nearly complete set I’d be happy to pass along for the price of postage. If you are still interested, send me your address and I can give details and pricing. They are fun reading! On Friday, April 23, 2021 at 7:50:00 PM UTC-6 Alberto Robador wrote: > Hi there: I'm looking

[RBW] Fatty Rumpkin tire opinions, experiences.

I loved them on my Sam Hillborne. They transitioned seamlessly from pavement, to dirt roads, to trails with patches of gravel and sand. I never had to think about them. They replaced rock ‘n roads, which sounded loud and felt grabby in the corners. I had the robust version and had no complaints

Re: [RBW] Recommendations for Riv-ish bike shop in Boulder?

Vecchio’s is great. For riv-friendly service, I also really like Boulder BikeSmith, located in the plaza near KingSoopers. Every nearby cycling route from easy to mind-boggling is detailed in a small black and white paperback that you can get at Boulder Bookstore in the Colorado section. It is

[RBW] Re: Experiences with Clem L or H

I love my Clem for long solo rides, especially when I don't know in advance what the road conditions will be. It feels really fun, secure, and comfortable, the gearing has good range for hills, and the views are amazing with the upright position. Mine has the Sackville BarSack, which is perfec

[RBW] Re: Frame lock installation - Clem

Yes, the stock tires would have been fine. I had switched to Continental Race King 650bx2.2 before installing the lock and they rubbed when I attempted to install the lock. I switched to Schwalbe Marathon Mondial 27.5 x 2.0 and those fit fine. FWIW these are great tires for adventure rides with

[RBW] Re: Frame lock installation - Clem

I was able to install it without filing away anything. It required shifting it up and down a bit to determine where best to make it fit. I also had to go down slightly in the tire size I was planning to use with this bike for the lock to be able to close around the wheel. It was well worth it. I

Faster than orange?? Thanks to you and Bill G. for the kind words. I am a big fan of red and I like how it came together. I had just received notice that my wheel was finally going to be delivered when the Red Roscoes showed up on the Riv site. Seemed meant to be. I sent my wheel to Riv and they

Wait -- no, it cannot. You can put it on the bike but then it will operate as a single speed. On Saturday, August 26, 2017 at 12:58:09 PM UTC-6, Valerie Yates wrote: > > Apparently it can: > > > https://www.superpedestrian.com/support/article/Can-the-Copenhagen-Wheel-be-used-wi

[RBW] Re: Anyone tried a Copenhagen wheel on their Rivbike??

I have the Roscoe Bubbe with Copenhagen Wheel. I had ordered the wheel pre-launch and waited 3 years for it. In 2013, it was $700. The wheel is terrific. It works very intuitively. I haven't weighed the bike but I don't think you are saving weight with this approach. The wheel is extremely heav

[RBW] Re: The Siren Call of Sapphire Shopsacks

I love the shopsacks. I don't use them as handbags but I definitely use them off the bike as often as I do on. I prefer the medium size for use on the bike. For me, that is mostly grocery shopping / farmer's market, the gym, etc. The medium fits perfectly in the medium Wald basket and the Wald

Yes, the Pro's Closet generally sells on consignment and lowers prices over time when items don't sell. Sometimes, they will offer a fixed payment upfront for people for whom immediate cash is worth more than the additional increment they may obtain through the consignment auction process. Th

Roberta -- Your bike is gorgeous. Great choice. Love the bar tape. Following up on Bob's comments, I have and love my Joe and I have and love the B17 saddle on my drop bar bikes, but they did not work well together for me because the saddle is too narrow (for me) for the upright riding posi

[RBW] Re: Advice on herd thinning (or, scheming to get another bike)

Well, you don't sound too reluctant to see the Bombadil, so that's something. I wonder if a drop bar Appaloosa will make you happy. Has anyone been happy with that set-up? I love mine but feels very clearly an upright style bike. I feel on top of the world and can see forever when I ride it. I

[RBW] Re: Advice on herd thinning (or, scheming to get another bike)

Fun question. It sounds to me like you'd be happiest selling the Bombadi because it is too big for the kind of riding you'd like to do with it and the Sequoia because you don't love it. I would not sell a bike I love even if overlaps with something else. You love the Romulus so I don't see why

[RBW] Re: Rivendell e-bike (conversion)

Thanks for the welcome Joe. Since I do really like pedaling, my main hesitation was that it would feel like cheating. But I rationalize it by reminding myself that I ride for pleasure not for exercise. This is definitely a pleasure. I did wonder if it would ever arrive. It took exactly 3 years.
