I believe the only Rivendell I have with lawyer lips is the Quickbeam...somehow they seem to have "worn off"...so I touched up the raw area with orange paint. :-) Angus On Sep 20, 6:11 pm, William wrote: > Neither my Hillborne nor my Bombadil has lawyer lips.  My wife's Yves > Gomez.I forge

All this variation begs the question: Why? Are they truly the result of an industry class action suit? If so, why do some (Quickbeams) have them and others (Sams) don't? Curious brains want to know (no e's in that sentence). On Mon, Sep 20, 2010 at 8:11 PM, William wrote: > My wife's Yves

My Legolas has them. So does my QB but they have been mentioned. I find them mildly annoying, but I would have assumed any insurance company would be insisting on them at this point. On Sep 20, 4:28 pm, James Warren wrote: > For some reason, the QB's had them and so did the Canti-Roms. I'm not

LL, ca. 1999; A-R, circa 1999: Nope; and nope again. I do seem to recall that, back in the day, Riv and company offered something they called a "Paralysis Prevention Device". You had to ask for one with your frame if you wanted it, and it wasn't mentioned a whole lot, presumably to avoid freaking

My Atlantis does not have them. I've only had 1 bike with them & it was a small job with a file to remove them. IMHO, all the fiddling around with the skewer nut every time the wheel is removed leaves plenty of room for error in getting the correct tension. I support tours on occassion and see m
