I've been using the quickbeam crank on my bombadil for years, and have been
slowly updating my other bikes with the same. The big ring on a triple
has only ever been a dysfunctional, pant-leg eating guard for me

Yep. I've never used the QB crank, but have added Salsa Crossing Guards and
Ring Dingers in place of big chainrings on many of my bikes over the years. For
people who don't like the prevalence of 11t cogs on cassettes...it's not so bad
when your big ring is a 36 or 38 or 40t. In fact, at least

Hi Mike,
I just use a triple derailleur, and have adjusted the screws so that it
doesn't shift past the middle ring. For chain length I use the middle
ring and largest rear cog +2 links, and that seems to work OK. The
stock 40/32 of the QB crank may not give you the full range you want
PS I haven't had any problems using the big (middle) ring across all the
cogs, but tend to prefer shifting down to the small ring when on the
biggest 2 cogs.

Thanks for the info Matt.
And to the original poster, I didn't mean to hijack the thread.
Congrats on the new bike. I'm sure you'll love it. Be sure to post

Congratulations on your new bike.
I've spent the last few months trying to convince myself that it is okay to
pull the trigger on my first Rivendell. In fact, I've come close a few
times to purchasing one of the new blue 56 Sam's as well. When you finally
do get the bike, I hope that it
Thanks. Believe me, I spent more than a few months. Nearly ordered a
Hunq before the prices went up. Considered an LHT. In the end, I've
told myself to take a chance and see if I can't be satisfied with
Riv's bargain model. Will let everyone know about the big smile some
time in early June,
Congrats on ordering the Hillborne. I love mine and think it is the most
comfortable bikes I have ever ridden.

Congratulations! I was in the same situation as you when I ordered my Sam.
Had a 14 year old Bontrager Privateer Comp that had been through many
reincarnations and it was time to get something new and nice. I think
you're going to look back at this as one of the best and most overdue
decisions
