Re: [RBW] Riv headset spacer bell mount outside diameter in line with your spacers, or wider?
Is there something wrong with just using all bigger spacers on the stack so they match? On Jul 21, 2014 9:17 AM, Scott Henry ske...@gmail.com wrote: If they made one with the spacer the same outer diameter, there wouldn't be enough aluminum to tap out and thread for the bell bolt. The only way to get a spacer mounted bell is to use a thicker spacer. Scott On Sun, Jul 20, 2014 at 1:05 AM, lungimsam john11.2...@gmail.com wrote: Looks like the outer spacer mount diameter bulges out wider than the regular spacer diameters on 1 steerers, like the pic on the rivsite ( http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/bellhed.htm) So I was wondering, does it stick out on yours, or is it just that way in that pic they have on the site? One of my favorite features of Riv bikes are the shot-glasses - the pretty stack of headset spacers. I don't want to ruin the line. Maybe I am just cork grip sniffing about this, but it's one of the things I find beautiful on these bikes. So just want to know how it really is so I can stop mulling and either get one, or wait until they start selling one with a uniform outer diameter for 1 spacers. Didn't they have one with an aluminum (silver colored) bell on it once? That would be a nice match for all the silver color on these bikes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] QR question
Thanks for the kind words, I try to keep my cool at all times but was so bummed to miss a beautiful weekend riding since its just been super hectic at work lately and being out in the woods here the lack of a good LBS sucks. My new local is closed at 2 on Saturday all day sunday Monday and Tuesday, its a great little operation but finding the time in my schedule to get out there is impossible. Thanks for the reply Grant, sorry if I was inelegant, its unfortunately my nature, no amount of smacks to the back of the head from my mom will change me it seems. I did tear apart the spare parts bin looking for a skewer tonight and all I came up with was a couple of janky looking steel front skewers and I need a rear 135mm. I have some time tomorrow and will call up RBW and work it out. (I never know whether to directly respond to you-grant and RBW employees on the list or not so will just call). If they could send along a Hermes handbag as well that would make my wife happy too, hahaha.

It involves phone calls and return shipping and (WORST OF ALL) more waiting. Obviously the OP is in a situation where he can't just run out to get a QR so that magnifies the frustration of things not showing up as expected. Yes, I think the frustration was expressed a little more crudely than necessary, but I also think we should cut the guy some slack. He paid for something and waited and when it showed up it was not what he expected. These things do happen of course and you just need to deal with them without losing your cool. He wanted to ride and couldn't and it doesn't sound like he has a ton of free time to just ride whenever. Peter, I am sorry your wheel didn't arrive as expected. That sucks and must be super disappointing. Call Riv and see what they say. In my experience they will take care if it and be more sorry about it than you. They are great people and will make it right. Hang in there it will get resolved. Cheers, Chris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Hunq or bomb
I Love Love my bombadil but lets be serious, for another $500 you get full custom any way you like it so if you are gonna go all out, go all out and go full custom. On Sat, Jul 12, 2014 at 8:31 PM, RJM crccpadu...@gmail.com wrote: I've thought long and hard about this exact thing for myself and I've come to two conclusions. One is to just pony up and get the Bombadil. For me, being smaller, the 48cm Bombadil would fit very nicely and would still give me 650b tires. Two would be to get a custom Riv...mountain mixte with 650b wheels and fancy lugs. Tough enough to singletrack, but not too heavy to get up hills. The Hunq would certainly work well, and I don't feel that 26 wheels would be a terrible choice in a mountain bike. I've ridden those for decades and the wheel size has always seemed to work. But, it would be nice to roll on a little bit bigger tire and I already have two sets of 650b wheels in the house. Plus I think a custom riv would be the bomb.

They both use UPS/FedEx repsectively, but sometimes the routing gets messed up, which is one major cause of delays. Also, it gets lowest priority.

I've told REI what I thought of these services . .. lol. With regular UPS packages take 2 days. My take . . . . every retailer BE upfront of all methods of shipping and the extra time involved. Just because someone offers free shipping, does not mean I the consumer must just be thankful and put up with it . Free shipping is never truly free, costs are built into the pricing of everything in total and having a certain minimum to qualify is a way to entice a customer to spend more than they had intended, but are lured by the I qualify ! and free carrots !

Atlantis- TT 21, CC 19 1/2, CT 20 Rivendell- TT 21 1/2, CC 20 1/2, CT 21” both were purchased by me from Rivendell new- all the work was done by a local shop in Santa Fe, NM So now I dunno, just someone who really doesn't want to sell and is putting in minimal effort and therefore the high prices?

It's the right way to get most riders, including many of our Pro Team riders, in the right place. With no need for high-rise stems or spacer stacks, the look is nothing but pro.

Anyone around here at all interested in a trade? I was looking to go with a double up front and 8 in the back as I don't think I can add a bailout gear up front with the alfine and not blow it up.

If it is that narrow minded to put on a buyer on the wrong bike, then I doubt that bike shop is going to be in business for very long. My LBS has been around since 1975. The owner is one of the best fitters in the SF Bay Area. But he sells all types of bikes. He has the latest carbon Time, Looks, Bianchis and Giants. He also sells the new Albion and other steel bikes from custom (formerly US distributor for Ron Cooper to Della Santa to the latest from the new Masi, Soma and Waterford). He also has a wall full of Colnagos including steel and carbon. But, the key is to put you on the type of bike that you will ride! If it means putting you the latest 14lb carbon wonder bike with your bar dropped 6 inches below the saddle and 11-23 11speed cassette, done. If you want a steel bike with bars higher than your saddle and 13-34 gearing with a triple, done! If you're a fat guy, like me (e.g., 200lb) and want carbon, no problem. But he's give you a compact crank (50/34) and low gearing (11-28; 12-30) to help you get up the hill. He will also raise dat bar when needed! Whatever works to get you on the road and enjoying your bike! Good Luck! Is it really ? Compared to who ? My choices work for me, if someone wishes to emulate that in some way, great. If not, great .

Very smart front facing fork tips and normal wheel axles. Takes 29x1.75 tires without fenders, and would easily run 700x38 tires (tubeless) with fenders. Has all the integrated fender mount points. Has a PF30 BB that makes it easy to set it up as a singlespeed. Add to that I can get the frame/fork/headset from Jenson for $1050 and get a free $250 gift card for my next purchase(s).

In the US we call that C-Mo steel and don't think too much of its properties. Managese steel is a different animal, we make car crushing hammers out of it. In the US we call the alloy of which 531 is made manganese molyobdenum and have done so since the 1930s. Your calling it something different does not make it so, no matter how stubborn you are.

I know I had an older version at some point too, it was 3 pages on a pdf viewer.
