Well, I saw and spoke to three Riv riders, amidst the madding crowd. There were great views, and incredible bicyclist camaraderie. So strange to see the old span from a new perspective. Someday soon, when the path completes to YBI and TI, let's have a Rivendell Ride and picnic on Treasure

I'd appreciate a reply from anyone who could point me to an evolutionary trail of Rivendell bike models, if such a source exists. In other words, let's say I'm a Rambouillet owner and am riding along and get stopped by someone who is curious about and interested in the bike. The most I would

[RBW] SimpleOne Rohloff Conversion

Hi group, I thought I would share this Rohloff conversion we just finished at Cycle Monkey. As a former Rivendell employee and current Rohloff user I'm a little biased, but I think it turned out great. We cold-set the rear triangle without any problems. Alex Wetmore converted his Quickbeam to

That's great. Did bending the rear triangle from 120 mm to 135 mm spacing on such a nice bike make you anxious at all? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an

[RBW] Re: SimpleOne Rohloff Conversion

That is very interesting. I am sure your customer will be really happy. I just have one question. (Apologies if this gets answered before my question gets posted). Why did you run the cable along the top tube rather than the way you did on the Sam Hillborne? The Quickbeam does not look as

[RBW] Re: SimpleOne Rohloff Conversion

Although we've cold set many steel bikes before, 120mm to 135mm is a pretty big jump. Fortunately, steel is quite malleable and forgiving as we all know. According to the mechanic who completed the cold setting, the process went quite smoothly. We made sure to check everything several times

Thanks Daniel for your answer. I didn't know there was internal and external shift/gearbox difference in the hubs. I take back my response as not being as elegant! I guess it is nice to have choices. Nice job on both bikes. On Wednesday, September 4, 2013 7:26:28 PM UTC-4, Daniel Molloy

[RBW] Re: Lifetime of Tange Bottom Bracket

Mike: My Atlantis arrived in 2003, and I replaced the original Tange BB in late 08. I did not keep accurate mileage then but a fair guess is around about 20,000 miles. Most of my riding is in a dry, benign climate. Current BB is Shimano somewhere in the 25,000 to 30,000 mile range. .
