Beautiful bike. Enjoy!

You’ll have to give us an update when you get to ride it.

[RBW] Re: SunTour Shifter, plastic washer falling apart.

[getjosh...@gmail.com]

Thank you all for the replies. I'll give those washers a try. I may look at 
a few local places for them before ordering. It'll give me a reason to ride 
around anyway. 

Sorry for the bad pic link. I tried to post pics for about 20 minutes the 
other day and a flickr link was the closest I could get.

[RBW] SunTour Shifter, plastic washer falling apart.

[getjosh...@gmail.com]

I've got SunTour bar end shifters on my Atlantis and one of the plastic 
washers is falling apart. It's mostly gone at this point and there is a 
fair bit of play in that shifter. Two questions for the group. 
1. can this be replaced?
2. would this brass dome washer from Riv 
https://www.rivbike.com/products/brass-dome-washer?variant=41087107530863 
do the trick, or can those only be used on the silver product. I know that 
the silver shifters are nearly a copy of the Shimano pod and SunTour 
shifter.

Re: [RBW] Re: daily post ur riv

[getjosh...@gmail.com]

Austin, 
I'm glad that you were able to stuff 2.6" tires in that Clem, but I'm 
pretty surprised.  I've got 2.4" tires in mine and the chain rubs the tire 
a bit in the lowest gear on the small ring.  It's not an issue and it's not 
constant, but when I'm on rough terrain it will wiggle around enough to 
where it'll rub a bit.  Cool bike man.

[RBW] Re: What role does your Joe A. fill?

[getjosh...@gmail.com]

Geez.  I didn't realize how messed up my pictures came out.  Some person's 
ABG from work and a sideways pic of my bike, not cool.  I'll try better 
next time.  As for the question about the bars, these are the billy bars 
and I just taped them up and stuck on some cork form the riv site.  I do 
love this bike.
