Re: [RBW] Help me build my new Roadeo. Part I, Wheels.
My Roadeo uses A23s with WI T11s, and I love them. The quill looks great (wasn't an option at the time for me), but no O/C rim, which doesn't detract much. I would also recommend the GB Cypress or Compass equivalent. I would recommend at least considering the EL version. I bought GB Cypress EL, but will probably not use them until the rains have ended next year. Have fun!

I'll bet you could get that same "excited" feeling with your GB Cypres by inflating them up to 80 psi.

For a more “excited” feeling ride (but no faster) try 32 Paselas tour guard. They rode nice too. More “excited” feeling. Maybe more vibration? Better tread protection. The GB Cypres is a calmer, smoother feeling ride due to its suppleness, I guess, but just as fast. -- Steve Palincsar Alexandria, Virginia USA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

if your experience turns out like mine, the ride quality of the Roadeo will blow away all of your other rivbikes. You will probably pick the Roadeo for 95% of rides, even for commutes, like I do. Seriously think about a dyno hub on the front wheel. If you decide on dyno lighting I would go for front wheel: Pacenti Brevet rim/Sapim Race spokes/SON deluxe wide body hub. Choice of spoke count based on your weight and wether or not you will hop curbs with this bike. I commute on stripped down Roadeo with dyno lights and banana sax bag only. Same front wheel. Love the lighting. So convenient. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

I personally would go for either Shimano or Campy hubs, with either the TB14 or Pacenti Brevet, 14/15 db spokes. Quiet, smooth, reliable, light. Royce hubs are nice, too. Note that with 11 so, the cog spacing is pretty well identical between Shimano & Campy. https://www.compasscycle.com/shop/components/rims/pacenti-brevet-rim-700c/ - Max “cup & cone & double eyelets 4 evah!” in A2 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Help me build my new Roadeo. Part I, Wheels.
Hello, I’m the proud owner of a beautiful, new-to-me Roadeo frameset that I recently purchased here from another group member. My plan is to take my time building it up over the course of winter, with a May 1st goal of getting it out on the road. As I am also the proud owner of a few other bikes(some Rivendells) I have a pretty specific, narrowly focused idea in mind regarding the Roadeo. Essentially, I’d like it to be pared down accessory-wise, light and fast, with an 11 speed Shimano drivetrain and STI shifters. Unlike my other bikes, I’d like this one to be a sort of one trick pony — light, fast and agile. I’ll never mount racks or bags or even fenders on this bike(I have this covered with my other bikes.) For the most part, it’ll be a fair weather bike. I may occasionally commute on it, but I won’t ever have the need for it to carry anything or to protect me or itself from foul weather. My I I ask for your help? I’ve spent quite a bit of time researching component choices, but could use some real world, Riv based advice. For the sake of ease, I thought it best that I divide this into a few different threads. Today’s is wheels. I’ll follow it up with brakes and bars and cranks, etc. Here's what I've been thinking so far I’ll be running 700c x 28 clinchers and will not ever have the need or desire to run anything larger than, say, 700c x 32. I’d like polished silver rims with polished silver hubs both with an aesthetic appropriate for this vintage/modern looking frame. I’ve narrowed my rim and hub choices down to 2, but am open to other suggestions should they meet my criteria. Rims: Velocity Quill. I really like Velocity rims, but have no experience with the Quills. They come in polished silver and seem to be Velocity’s best choice for a fast, light wheel build. I know a lot of people ride the A23s, but for some reason I’m just not interested in them. H Son Plus TB14. I’ve only just learned about these, but people on the internet seem to be very happy with them. They have the look I’m after and also seem to be a good choice for a light-ish fast wheelset. I think I'm leaning toward these just to try out a different maker's rims, but am really torn and am hoping for a nudge in one direction of the other. Hubs: White Industries T11, front and back. I have a rear MI5 on my AHH and really like it. They’re made here in the US which I like and they aren’t too noisy. I was pretty much settled on the T11s for this build, but then learned about Phil’s road hubs. I also have a Phil rear touring hub which I also really like. In fact, it’s my favorite hub as it spins silently. But the Phil road hubs are significantly heavier than the T11s. They are also more costly and being different than their touring hub may sound differently. I’m not super concerned with weight, but if all else is equal(including durability,) weight could be a deciding factor. What do you all think? Does anyone have experience with these rims/hubs? Is there something else you'd suggest. I've heard HED makes good rims that would be Roadeo appropriate, but they seem to only come in black with pretty pronounced graphics. I like the bling of polished silver, but not bling-y logos. What would you choose in my place? I should mention I’m a 165lb rider, and I’d likely choose 32 spokes, front and back. Unless, of course, someone feels like I could get away with 28 up front. I’d love to hear any advice you’re willing to offer.
