Hi, First, thanks to all who replied to my post and the questions I posed. A lot of help, but so far not all of the problems have been solved. I've played with the cable adjusters and the tension seems to be reduced somewhat. The manual says, "When winding the cable adjusters out, the

So it sounds like: Get a new bottom bracket with a longer spindle, which would move both crank arms out and increase Q factor. Get some spacers for drive side. This would move the existing spindle inward on the non-drive side and outward on the drive side. Q factor stays the same, and you'd be

Re: [RBW] 10-speed Cassette with Sunrace Friction Shifters.

Regarding your second question, the RD will work. You can friction or index a 10-speed cassette with a 9-speed Shimano rear derailer. The shifter controls the speeds and/or indexing; "SIS" derailers (7, 8, 9 speed MTB, 7, 8, 9, 10 speed road) all have the same cable pull ratio and are

[RBW] Rivendell sightings

I love living in the Bay Area and seeing so many Rivendells out there! Spotted this weekend: A Betty Foy outside the Ferry Building yesterday morning An Atlantis on BART getting on at downtown Oakland yesterday afternoon 3 Rivendell's this morning around 8:30-9AM descending Tunnel Rd as I was

[RBW] 10-speed Cassette with Sunrace Friction Shifters.

Last thing I'm trying to nail down is a cassette. Found exact gearing that I want in a 10-speed cassette. Anyone successfully friction shifted 10-speed cassette with the Sunrace thumb/barend shifters that Riv sells? I might be complicating issues by using a 9-speed derailer, but that really

My tubeless experience: Non-tubeless-ready Pari Moto tires on tubeless-ready Pacenti PL23 rims -- Set up easily (with compressor), but unreliable. The Pari Moto sidewalls are so thin that the sealant and air can seep through. They'd leak down to 25 psi within an hour, as I found out a couple

That's really cool. I don't see many around here in San Diego. If I do see a Riv occasionally but they kind of keep quiet and to themselves. Primarily I see a lot of road/tri riders up and down the coast racing each other, running stop signs and lights to keep their Strava times down. All the

Aw, I was hoping to see my orange Cheviot included in the sightings. Had a great ride Saturday from the Richmond Bay area to Berkeley for lunch, then around the Bay Trail. Such a beautiful day. We don't get to have rides like that without generally starting off with a car trip, so really enjoy

You really could go either way I suspect. Did you work with Rivendell? I'm sure they set you up with the right stem/bar combo. If you do trail riding now or ever, most people like the extra stand over height (I've never had an issue with this.). Long way of saying if I'd gotten the 58 I'd

This is easy to fix. Get pitlocks for the wheels, a piitstopper for the bars and seat, a micro U-lock (Abus) for the frame. Total cost, less than $200. Security = 100%. Nobody will get your bike. On Sunday, November 8, 2015 at 2:13:57 PM UTC-6, Daniel D. wrote: > > Wow, I get the heebie

And I hope it can maintain it's allure to keep those cross-country travelers excited about it! There's talk of bumping it up to a full Imperial century this year... watch out! The trick is to make it a shared course that everyone can enjoy. Will be working diligently on that in the coming months!

Well, a big nevermind. I forgot the wheel I have built up has an older Deore 7s freehub, so obviously 10-speed (all 10) won't fit. And I managed to take apart a couple pinned 7s cassettes to get a reasonable range for my Clem. For those interested, it'll be a 42t single chainring with a

Re: [RBW] Re: Rohloff IGH Questions

Get rid of the GB shifter; get a Rohloff shifter. Very likely this will ease shifting. I've seen this problem on a few GB setups and issues were solved with swapping out for a rohloff shifter. It may be that in these cases the recabling is what fixed the issue, but unlikely because in two
