I ride my dirt drop at max height, with the printed words on the stem just inside of the tube. D On Wednesday, January 9, 2013 8:29:39 PM UTC-8, Paul Y wrote: I ride my tallux maxed out. Love it!

[RBW] Re: Anyone else ride their Rivendells at MAX Bar height?
I've found a happy place with a mix of French fit and Country Bike fit. I now ride a 60, could probably ride a 62 but that might be too much of a French fit. I used to ride a 56 but that had too much of a Country Bike fit. My bars are about 1-2 cm below saddle height, the B17 and tilted back a bit.

I tried raising my Tech Dlx on the Riv the first time I rode it. It felt like I was master of all I survey, way up there; just short of circus-worthy. But it's perfect down where it is now, what with all the spacers and head tube extension. I just purchased from another BOB a Tech Dlx to get the bars on my beater up to where the Riv's are. Still doesn't feel like the Riv's fine fit, but a heckuva lot better.

[RBW] Re: Anyone else ride their Rivendells at MAX Bar height?
How much post do you have showing? How tall are you? What's your PBH? What's the frame size? How did you arrive at that frame size? To my eye, you could be on a larger frame, but that conclusion is based on very limited data. I'll admit that, although I understand choosing an upright position, I do not belong to the sit-up-and-beg club. For sporty riding, rolling that much of my weight backwards on the bike makes me feel unbalanced and uncentered, and restricts the contribution that my lower back and glutes make to the pedal action. I've arrived at a point somewhere between Competitive Cyclist's Eddy fit and French fit, and my constant tweaks to my position seem to always cycle back and forth within that range. As an aside, it's interesting to me that many European cycletourists have gone to flat or even trekking bars in order to achieve a relaxed upright position. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

How much post do you have showing? *The whole thing to the MAX line. I like the ease of view that way, as opposed to my old race bike.* How tall are you? *5'7* What's your PBH? *82* What's the frame size? *55* How did you arrive at that frame size - *online Rivendell sizing charts.* ** What is French fit? I may experiment with saddle high bars, and see how I like that later. But for now, I am enjoying the view. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Anyone else ride their Rivendells at MAX Bar height?
I coulda gone even higher, but the original owner bought the bike at somewhere other than Riv, I am guessing, because of the low height of the steerer. Doesn't have the 2 finger stack of spacers like I have seen on the Riv-built bikes in pics. Also, lost a cm of height on my new Technomic stem since they have raised the MAX height line 1 cm higher on their Technomic stems now. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
