spoke count and bonus if they are tubeless ready rims and Dyno front hub 
like Shutter Precision or SON.

Re: [RBW] My Cantis cant get no respect.

[George Schick]

If I'm not mistaken, those are Tektro 857AL brakes.  They have the extra 
long 110mm arms for fender clearance.  I bought one a few years ago for my 
Surly 1x1 that has wheels with 60mm Big Apple tires covered by SKS P65 MTB 
fenders.  They just clear the fenders with a couple of mm's to spare.

Hi, can't find a model # on them. For a little while Riv sold a V-brake, 
but I don't see them on the website currently. I would think if you call 
Rivendell and ask what model was used on the first gen Clem completes 
somebody will know.

 A prize for modulation?  They give prizes for not having any?  In my - 
 admittedly limited - experience, V brakes have all the modulation of an 
 electric light switch and all the simplicity of the binary numbering 
 system: ON and OFF with nothing in between.  Then, there's butt ugly, 
 incompatible with standard brake levers and integrated brake/shift levers 
 and interference with fenders to add to their "charms."

[RBW] Re: Has anyone used this bell?

['Bikie#4646' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Steve, I'm down near Richmond, but can attest to the worthiness of the 
Spurcycle bell. I was a part of the original Kickstarter campaign. After 
that, I purchased two more (at considerably higher prices)! Very elegant, 
minimalist and a nice piercing sound that gets attention. These guys did a 
great job of design, down to the wonderful packaging. With each I received, 
I felt like I was unwrapping a Faberge' egg! What sold me over anything 
else was the ingenious way it attaches without screws, nuts, etc. Most of 
that portion is hidden away inside the bell, with only the slender (maybe 
5mm) stainless strap showing. Clean! Treat yourself!

[RBW] FS: Joe App 55cm Butternut New In Box!

[Christopher Murray]

I have a brand new Joe Appaloosa for sale. It is butternut and  55cm complete.  
I took it out of the box to inspect and put it back in. Never assembled. I 
don't have the plastic saddle or the plastic pedals but will include a new pair 
of Thin Gripster pedals also still in the box, never installed. $2200 shipped 
CONUS. 

I really want an Atlantis and if this sells quickly I'll grab the one Riv has 
in stock.

Cheers!

Re: [RBW] My Cantis cant get no respect.

[Jock Dewey]

Wow! There are similar squabblings taking place right now vis-a-vis 
cranksets on the BOB list. 

I've collected a stash of NOS Suntour XC pro cantis over the years as they 
are, to my eye, just delightfully elegant and simple. Those gleaming 
pointy-hat fixing bolts just make me smile. 

But I digress; I have them installed on three very nice bicycles, with 
thick, chunky Scott-Mathauser pads & thin Eagle (orange) pads and they were 
all easily adjusted with no squealing. I ride fast (sometimes) and have 
just never noticed any fork flex or modulation issues. And I've never run a 
red light or careened off a mountain pass...yes we have mountains in 
GA--including two formidable up & downs: Hogpen Gap & Brasstown Bald. Man, 
if you don't bend a fork braking down either one of those beasts, you ain't 
gonna bend a fork, ha! 

I guess, with nearly all things bicycle, this wise rule applies: YMMV.

I'm in. This will be the new toddler driver. Long CS and all that step over 
make for a perfect dirt road dadbike.

[RBW] Re: Has anyone used this bell?

[islaysteve]

Does anyone know of a shop in the DC/MVA area that sells Spurcycle bells, and 
actually has some on display?
Thanks.
