Nick, I'm not entirely certain of the answer to your question; I
think they might have been in transition mode. At the time I ordered
my saddle they were offering three widths and three different slot
configurations and the Robusto is about 1.5 cm narrower than the
Titanico that they now seem

That's a nuisance, especially if you have put the buckles inside the
bag to snug it up against the saddle. You have to open the bag, move
the contents out of the way, do gymnastics to see or blindly undo the
buckles by feel, drag the slightly oversized

Thanks for the comments. Our bearing adjustment procedures are
similar. Next time I take mine apart I'll see about drilling a small
hole in the center of the body as a grease port. The plastic end cap
is probably not good for too many removals.

I have built up and ridden this bike with 700c wheels there is no way
a 26inch wheel would work with this frame. A 650b is even too small
to work with the position of the cantilever bosses, which I tried to
lower the standover height.

Hullo All,
I'm thinking of putting 650B x 42 on my custom Rivendell road bike.
The frame was designed for 700C wheels and has a low bottom bracket
(BB drop is 83). I figure the 650B x 42 will have the same outside
diameter of 700C x 23. And the bike is OK with those wheels. Anyone
know
James - I think you meant to start a new conversation? If so, just do
a new post about 650B conversions on the board.
For the weight of a Sam - just cal Riv. I'm sure they know the exact
measure.

Wow. Thanks for all the great discussion. I'm still not sure what I'm
going to do but I have a bit of time to decide. The frame goes to JB
on Friday for paint. I have a Specialized Alias on my Seven MTB and
love it for that application. Also used it on my Ritchey Road Bike for

Sorry I don't have an answer, since I don't have a SH. But I wanted to point
out that my current Atlantis set-up is the heaviest it has ever been: Big Apple
Tires and Rivendell Bullmoose bars and Ergon grips. And it's probably the best
it has been. I can tell it's heavy, there is more inertia

So this means you can go 2-5 miles further in an hour of cycling ? ;)

Among other benefits, yes. But the principal benefit is that cycling is more
enjoyable, since less tiring, with a lighter bike, ceteris paribus. In
particular, hills are a lot more fun.

True, but the psychological must still win over, since I really like
