"..and that they seem to go hand in hand with the adoption of new standards that make the use of those parts that are so characteristic of Rivendell builds out of the question."
How do discs "seem" to do this on a bicycle I've repeatedly described as using all normal Riv parts aside from the brakes? Let's take 4 Rivs stout enough for pounding around on trails: Hunqapillar, Atlantis, Appaloosa and Clem. Put a standard Riv build on them, then have the cables end at discs instead of v-brakes or cantis. The only things that have changed are no rim brakes and the hubs are disc compatible. Maybe you need disc compatible racks, but there's a ton of them out there. I don't see the problem you're describing. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
