Re: [RBW] Clydesdale's -- Which Riv Model are you riding?

Actually, I take that back. The first time I used 32h DeepV, I used it in the rear with an older DT Swiss hub and after about 6 months, the drive side flange broke at the root and two spokes started pulling through. I guess the older hub just wasn't up to the high tension that was applied to it.

Re: [RBW] Clydesdale's -- Which Riv Model are you riding?

36 unless you only ride on very smooth roads, or build rims that will take very high spoke tension. I never had any problems running 32h with Velocity DeepV rims, which will take 135kgf, but every other 32h rim I've had gave me issues of some sort or another. I can tell you that from recent exper

[RBW] Clydesdale's -- Which Riv Model are you riding?

I'm 250# and ride a Quickbeam. I'd ride it anywhere. I do "ride light," in that I shift my weight to account for obstacles, but I haven't had any problems with wheels, or bike feel. Perfect bike. Philip www.biketinker.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Gr

Re: [RBW] Clydesdale's -- Which Riv Model are you riding?

p.s. about fat tires: I'm riding Barlow Pass 38's on the Legolas, and it rides like a dream for fast road rides. My Roadeo has 35mm Schwalbe Kojaks that actually measure out to about 33 mm, and the bike looks like it could accomodate a 38mm tire pretty easily - provided you can find a brake se

Re: [RBW] Clydesdale's -- Which Riv Model are you riding?

I was 270 lbs and rode both a 62 cm Hunq and a 66 cm Quickbeam which are very different bikes (at least across the Riv line). Now I'm 208 and ride the same bikes. I've ridden both of them on short and long rides and they've always been great. The only problem I've had is that the QB has 32 spoke wh

Re: [RBW] Clydesdale's -- Which Riv Model are you riding?

I am a pocket-sized Clyde at 215. I easily and happily ride a custom, a Legolas, Roadeo, Quickbeam, and an Atlantis. I don't know the Hunq, have never ridden one, but it seems hell-for-stout. Based on my experience, I recommend the Atlantis. It takes fat tires easily and handles very well,

Re: [RBW] Clydesdale's -- Which Riv Model are you riding?

I'm somewhere in the 260-270 range and I ride an older 68cm Custom that was built for a guy that probably weighed 190 soaking wet, and I've never had any issues in 10 years of owning it. I think you should get whatever model that you like the best and fits your intended purpose. One thing I will

Re: [RBW] Clydesdale's -- Which Riv Model are you riding?

I currently weigh 284 and I ride both a Hunqapillar (and have done loaded overnights with it with no issues at all) and an Atlantis, which I only load for commuting (spare clothes and laptop). I run 50mm tires on the Hunqapillar and am now running 38mm Barlow Pass on the Atlantis for a superb quali

[RBW] Clydesdale's -- Which Riv Model are you riding?

To the riders that weigh 200 lbs or more, which Riv model are you riding? I am just shy of 300, so should I consider one model over another? I assume that the wider the tires the better. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To
