I'm curious as to what you struggled with in outfitting your Riv. For me the hardest things have been BE vs DT shifter, plastic vs steel fenders, and tire size. My Hilsen has gone through numerous changes. I recently had it set-up with DT shifters, steel fenders and JB greens but have gone back to BE shifters and am trying to figure out what tire to use for winter. I want something sturdier. And while I've gotten pretty good at setting up my Berthoud fenders and like their coverage, I kinda prefer SKS just because they're even easier to take on and off (when using Sheldon nuts). Oh, and pedals have become an issue. More and more I'm prefering to ride in platform pedals. Of the many ways I've set-up my Hilsen I really think my favorite is with BE shifters, MKS sneaker pedals and Schwalbe Marathon 700x40s with no fenders (in the summer). I've managed to make the 40s work with SKS fenders but it's a bit tight. Oh, and I like the looks of a bike with some kind of rear rack or large bag for carrying things. --mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
