I've followed the recent post on the Ram build of course but the OP's ideas are rather different from mine. I plan (at the moment; no one can hold me to resolution) to build mine as a comfortable multispeed gofast to fill the now empty derailleur road category, meaning drops, modest load carrying capacity, and relatively uncomplicated gearing -- perhaps a 5 speed half step 46/42 (I have plenty of 14-28s) for me nice close gaps between 88 and 40 with cruising gears in the second cog, and a 5 speed fw hub would not have to be dished. (I may have a NNP 30 t Pro 5 Vis ring to trade for a decent ditto 42, if anyone is interested.) Or, a 46/30 with, say, a 14-15-16-18-18-19-21-23 cassette for a slightly lower bottom end. No rack, but a Carradice Junior; possibly a dyno hub in the future, dt shifters (shit, sold the last pair of Retrofrictions earlier this year), original issue Flite, older Keo Pluses, and, I hope, Maes Parallels and Grand Bois Cerf blue or green.

[RBW] the precarious balance of rim development
Have a pair of Phil Wood 'Rivy' 36h hubs I intend to build up during the winter months for my Rambouillet, but am undecided on what rims to go with. A while back, Grant posted an insightful piece regarding the precarious balance of rim development (i.e., 'Light, Strong, and Inexpensive: Pick Two'). He then mentioned rolling out a new ‘Stouty’ rim of which I've been pestering Rick for an ETA for nearly a year now, but he confessed they were waiting as well. Complete speculation on my part, but I presume the delay may have something to do with Velocity moving it's production from Australia to Florida. Given this, I may just go ahead and choose from the current offering of rims (such as the ones below), but wanted to first touch base with this group to gather firsthand builder/rider experiences or possibly learn of other options. I'm also curious of any considerations pertaining to tire mounting/seating issues. Grand Bois - http://cyclesgrandbois.com/SHOP/336618/404875/list.html Pacenti PL23 - http://www.bikelugs.com/store/index.php?strWebAction=item_detailintItemID=398 Soma Eldon - http://store.somafab.com/soelrim70.html Velo-Orange Raid/PBP/Diagonale - http://store.velo-orange.com/index.php/components/wheelsets-rims-hubs/rims.html From this list, it is probably obvious I'm leaning towards a traditional looking, non-anodized, non-machined, single/double eyelet, silver rim. Incidentally, I will be running 32 mm tires (Jack Brown Green’s, most likely).

Re: [RBW] Re: Riv's New Pedals
Appreciate all the rider comments out in the field. Given the lower profile, would assume I would have to lower my saddle slightly to compensate. Anyone know exactly how many mm difference there is between the VP Gripster and MKS Touring? May have to give these a try, though I wish they still came in bright silver (as shown in the RBW pedal comparison video as opposed to the dark grey)... On Thu, Oct 25, 2012 at 11:46 AM, BSWP ashtab...@gmail.com wrote: I'm equally pleased with the new pedals on my QuickBeam. Whether riding fixed, or on the freewheel, they're an improvement over the older MKS RX-1 pedals with toe clips I had been using. I thought I would need clips when riding fixed, but... not so much. I'm just riding by mashing down, and the main thing the clips were giving me was consistent placement of my foot on the pedal. But I quickly find the right spot for my feet on the VP pedals, and the spikes seem to help hold my shoes right there. I'm going to get a pair for my wife's B'Stone, and for my RBW LongLow as well. - Andrew, Berkeley On Wednesday, October 24, 2012 12:43:01 PM UTC-7, George Schick wrote: Sometimes if you're patient enough and wait long enough good things come your way. This is the case (in my case, anyway) with Riv's new platform pedal offering from VIP. When I spied these on their web catalog I ordered a pair right away and have not been disappointed with them in any way - they are exactly what Riv (Grant?) describes them to be. I replaced the cheap, clunky old MoSH BMX pedals on my Rambouillet and went for a test spin. They do, indeed, have a much lower profile and the pedaling is much, much smoother presumably due to higher quality axles and bearings. I also noticed that the exposed threads on the pins that are screwed into these pedals tend to grip much better than the smooth-ended pins in my old ones. But then there was one more surprise: all of the creaking and other racket I couldn't exactly identify in my drive train has disappeared! Riv also offers these pedals at around the same price as any of the other Web retailers so no need to look anyplace else. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Rivendell Riders Brooks Saddle
Definitely like the recently released B17 'Select' model (the bestest one yet, per Grant): http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/s6.htm But if they swapped out the matte black enamel steel rails with copper and added RBW stamping, I could see it being one of their best sellers ever.
