Re: [RBW] All Rounder Stripped Down

For an off road bike, I have to disagree. I've ridden ss (settled on ~64"), fixed (63" -- horrible, not on the uphills or flats, but downhill and with the wind), and of course derailleurs. SS gives you some of the fun -- getting more out of less; planning ahead; accommodating the terrain and

Re: [RBW] Re: All Rounder Stripped Down

Rivendell probably used what they called their "short horizontals;" those were their stock dropout in the beginning; my 1999 Joe Starck had them, the they rather severely limited the amount of axle movement. I had to file 2-3 mm off the back ends for chain takeup with the gears I wanted;

Hey, Craig! Great price on those. Someone will enjoy them. Out of curiosity, in "fully-loaded touring mode," does your weight flux often? If so, I can see the challenge, but if not, on the off chance you haven't, you may want to try adding 5-15 psi. I notice when I grocery get that my ride is

Re: [RBW] All Rounder Stripped Down

Great looking bike, Marty! Simplicity is a beautiful thing. Enjoy! Ha, James! The beauty of single speed comes alive on the downhills vs fixed when there is not spin limit, just coast; on the flats and uphills vs cassette in the utter simplicity of the gear is always right (yeah, I've heard it

[RBW] Re: All Rounder Stripped Down

Good eye. Not much horizontal travel on this dropout, and I like to keep it all the way back to give the tire as much room as possible. Will also make cog-swapping easier should I want to do that, or even run a second front ring. On Saturday, February 15, 2020 at 1:16:41 PM UTC-5, Benz,

Seems like every time the irrational thought to sell a Rivendell strikes, I go for a ride and change my mind. Not so much with other brands, in fact mostly the opposite. Good luck with sale or riding - whatever mood strikes On Friday, February 14, 2020 at 5:53:24 PM UTC-6, Bill Lindsay wrote:

I wasn't implying duds--just the opposite, i.e, as you rode each bike, you become re-enamored with it, and take it off your list. It was a compliment and a mild bit of humor all wrapped up in one neat package (or so I imagined!) Keep dialing, Bill! On Friday, February 14, 2020 at 5:43:28 PM
