[RBW] New Bike Syndrome
My experience echoes yours, Rusty. I’m a 1 bike person and this is my first Riv, so I made lists (spreadsheets), window shopped, and compiled everything until the Clem was was shipped. Then I tore down my Kodiak and cleaned the migratory components. Everything* was ready for the new frame when it arrived. I Pre-Pre-Ordered the frameset before the details of the new version were available (June?) I made photo mockups, compared owners builds, etc. Anxiety set in a few times (phone calls to Riv settled me) and I took some chances on a few personally untested parts, but I’d do it all again every year if I could. Enjoy it while it lasts! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Pedal Choices
I’ve got Grip Kings and Wellgo. Grips Kings are on my everyday bike and favorite. Super smooth - never serviced. Always fabulous in any foot covering. I second the Wellgo option if GK is out of reach or too weird looking for you. They don’t get equal ride time so my longevity experience isn’t based on much. Nice looking/feeling pedal though. Plenty grippy for camps/commuting. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] What do Rivendell Riders use for minimalist dress and biking shoes?
I purchased some Evolv Cruzers earlier in the year on a tip from Nam & Benedict. Apparently they are “approach” shoes. I chose to get the non-laced version to remove the chances of them hooking my 3x. They are incredibly light and have tons of grip. I have trouble not wearing them everywhere. The heel folds down so you can slip them on/off or just wear them that way. They’re actually holding up pretty well after biking, walking, and hiking in them. They don’t look weird. Hard to find in-store, but the sizing is accurate in my experience. Available all over online. Super thin and narrow sole. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

One of the few 1x setups that is pleasing to my eyes. Looks proportionally correct. Just an aesthetic opinion, not based on science or magic. I think it’s the sub10 cassette.

I'm relatively new to the group, and as such may have missed a past thread on the topic - but what are the benefits to a 1x setup? They seem to be rising in popularity, yet at first glance it seems limiting and expensive. Is the rear wheel dished more? How does that effect longevity? Is it worth not having a second shifter?
