You beat me to the punch, Max. I just logged in to post of review of
these levers.
When I first saw them on rivbike.com, I was taken aback. They looked a
bit Romulan, or Klingon to me (did Grant write that?) Then I saw the
high polish, the tan hoods, and the drillium. The looks were starting

Yeah, I'd agree that they're a nice alternative to (previously owned)
cheapo Tektro brake levers and pointy top Shimano levers. They're not quite
on par with Campagnolo and Shimano machine quality, having used both
extensively, but they rival their ergonomics. The hand hold on the lever

agreed. I have the TRP levers as well -- I think they're the bee's knees.
Mine are the black/gray version.
and I like your Rambo -- good choices. how do you like the Kojaks?

I parked my Quickbeam in a steel bike locker at Ashby BART for several
years. I never worried about anyone stealing my bike - principally
because there were so many other bikes nearby in racks that were much
easier targets (cheap lock, etc.). Now that I think about it, the

Love 'em. Kojaks are my new favorite tires, along with Rivendell Jack
Browns. We have long hard descents in Sonoma County, with plenty of
crummy pavement and potholes... so the comfort and handling of good

That does indeed look like a build done right.
Two questions:
1. How do you like the Kojaks? Have you enough miles on them to give
a comparison to other (similarly sized) tires you've used?
2. Have you considered pulling the rack closer to the headtube?
Trimming the two struts should allow you

Trimming the two struts should allow you to pull the rack back an inch
or more. Not a criticism, though.
You know, that's a great idea. I'm not good about the esthetics - -

I am working over the new 66cm Quickbeam, and saw the cranks were flopping,
which turned out to be from a loose BB. It's a sealed cartridge Shimano
unit, had been installed by Riv. I guess the rings came loose, and the
previous owner hadn't noticed.
BUT... the left side ring is plastic, is that
