I woke up this morning thinking about gear ratios -- crunching numbers on
BikeCalc and referencing the previous single-speeds I've enjoyed throughout
the years. Things of note about the 'uno:
- An in-the-box COMPLETE comes with a 38t big ring and a 26t small ring
and a 16t cog on a flip-
I’ve been riding 559’s for years on a roady single speed, and have never
had problems or complaints with them. Anecdotal, I know, but just thought
I’d throw in a few words in their favor. I would have been happy with
cantis on the Roaduno as well, but not if it meant an Appaloosa or Hunqua

The brakes on the completes are not exactly Tektro 559. From
https://www.rivbike.com/products/roaduno-complete :
*Brakes:* Sidepulls, long reach. Brand is Yokuzuna. They're cold-forged and
excellent, and are nearly identical to Tektro 559 (57-73mm brake reach)

Did RBW say if they were upgrading the stock pads on those Yokozuna brakes?
The 559's with decent pads have worked totally fine for me.

Oh, it definitely is!And was one of my very first (and easy) decisions when I began planning and collecting for my build.Admittedly, they work best when direct mounted, but I’ve never felt they lacked for braking power running as center mounts instead. Especially not on road.They’re also one of the
Hmm... I live somewhere hilly (Vermont) and ride my roadini on everything
granted the pads on the 559s on the roadini are high in the slot nd i
swapped out for Kool Stops. Not arguing that they are the most powerful
brakes ever but they seem to do the job.

A Paul Racer (or other centerpull) could be used on a RoadUno (or Homer,
Roadini, etc.), you'd just need to add cable hangers at the headset/stem
and seat binder bolt.
My primary road bike is a Malocchio with 559s and fenders. I also have a
Pescadero with maxed out GC610 centerpulls. I've had t

I'm going to write it down to see if I'm the only one who thinks the
following:
(i) I'm glad the Tektro 559s are available. Even with the pads all the way
down, they allow "OK" braking even with the factory pads. I'm not sure I'd
be happy if I lived where it's hilly.
(ii) Fenders are problemat
For sure, I was in the hunq camp, but I get why a slightly lighter weight
option makes sense. I would have been happy with a SS Hillborne as canti’s
would have allowed for just a little bit more tire/fender clearance, I was
still tempted when I saw that 650b was the wheel size for my size frame
