Re: [RBW] Newsflash: High-trail Rivendells work with rear-load bias!
Yeah, the SRAM chain I put on my 68 cm Bombadil was too short for the 46 × 36 combo so I used the limit screw to 'temporarily' stop myself accidentally shifting onto the 36, but never got round to lengthening the chain... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Newsflash: High-trail Rivendells work with rear-load bias!
Seems to me Jim Thill posted a while ago that the new Atlantis chainstays were pretty long. Enough so a 970 chain was just barely able to get around a similar setup. To Esteban - nice setup. Never have tried a low panniers. Don't have a rack equipped for it. It looks nice on your Protovelo. Afraid the bags would pick up too much grime here in Minnesota. Especially in the non-summer months. Eric Platt St. Paul, MN On Wednesday, April 11, 2012 5:19:21 PM UTC-5, franklyn wrote: > > How long is really the chainstay?

Re: [RBW] Newsflash: High-trail Rivendells work with rear-load bias!
How long is really the chainstay? Grant only wrote that some sizes will have chainstays longer than 46cm. My wife's 1982 Trek 720 has a chainstay of 47cm, and you can definitely see and feel that extra length. One place where one experiences issue is chain length. A brand new SRAM 970 chain out of package is not long enough for 46T chainring/32T large cog combination. I was too lazy to lengthen the chain but tagging on a few more links, but for now just told my wife not to shift to the Big-Big combination lest she wants to break the derailleur.

The Rosco bike is a sublime ride - like a hammock. Everyone should try it - it will surprise you. It will also make terms like "toe-clip overlap" and "heel-stirke" useless.

Re: [RBW] Newsflash: High-trail Rivendells work with rear-load bias!
What size shoe are you, Esteban? I am a US 13 and found it too difficult, but forget if that was using toe clips or if it was platforms. Irony of course is I've finally wound up with a monster-stayed Trek 728... probably would work well on Sir Rosco Bubbe too. =- Joe On 4/11/12, Esteban wrote: > Yea, the rack's on there thanks to Joe!

Re: [RBW] Newsflash: High-trail Rivendells work with rear-load bias!
Yea, the rack's on there thanks to Joe! I have the rack mounted on the fender-mount eyelets rather than the higher and slightly more forward rack-mount eyelets. Bags are pushed all the way back. I experiences some heel strike (maybe about 5 times on a 20-mile round trip commute), but I have sneaker pedals on there right now and I move my foot around a lot. I wont' know if its a consistent problem until I put some clipless on there. Its worth noting that these are pretty long chainstays - similar to a Saluki.
