That was my experience as well. Some of the posts suggest everyone has not been so fortunate, glad you were. My Hunqa has exceeded all my expectations - enjoy! Bob On Jul 9, 2016 3:52 PM, "Bob B" wrote: > I got my Hunq yesterday and, viola, I'm done building it as of this >

I liked them so much I made these: http://www.cafepress.com/doubletoptubesrule But seriously, it's all good, the function that they provide (strength on the bigger frame, a nice place to grab when you lift the bike, etc) far outweighs any downside from a design standpoint. I think my 2TT Sam

I find kids bikes last about 2 years, size wise. That bike looks like the perfect kids bike. Don't mess with training wheels, go the Sheldon way. There is a great video called something like "teaching biking without pain" or something on Youtube. Check it out for tips. 3 boys successfully

On the 2-TT deal. I agree that it is mostly aesthetic with the functionality of protecting your pump. I had a single TT Sam and traded it in for a double TT Appaloosa. I like the pump protection piece. I think I like the simplicity of the look of single TT, but it is cool to have a unique

I got my Hunq yesterday and, viola, I'm done building it as of this morning! (maybe I'll share pics in a thread later...) *UPDATE on the subject of this thread:* BB was clean and went in easy, everything installed w/o any chasing necessary. So the thread was a moot point, but I learned a few

[RBW] Re: Extent of thread chasing necessary on new Riv frame

Hmm, when I worked in a shop "long" ago prepping a new frame was standard practice. One of those "duh's" . Prep meant chasing/reaming/facing everything that could be done. It appears this is not done so much these days. Always ask and request it to be done because unless noted beforehand

Congratulations, Tim. Post photos when you get it on the road. You'll love it when you ride it and love it even more the first time you put it up in the repair stand without having to remove your framepump! John (another reformed 23mm tire rider) On Friday, July 8, 2016 at 7:13:27 PM UTC-7,

[RBW] Re: Extent of thread chasing necessary on new Riv frame

You don't mention anything about the steering tube, fork crown, head tube surfaces so I'm assuming that it shipped with a headset installed. However, even it it did, I found out the hard way on my Ram that the fork crown seat for the bottom cartridge bearing was not cleaned of paint or primer

[RBW] Re: Extent of thread chasing necessary on new Riv frame

FWIW, I had to have my AHH and my Hunqapillar's seat tubes reamed. Both were were really tight and scratched the daylights out of any post I installed. A couple of minutes with a reamer and all is well. On Saturday, July 2, 2016 at 10:07:05 AM UTC-4, Bob B wrote: > > Thanks Keith and Kevin, > >

Re: [RBW] Re: BBH Closing?

Cool, sounds like there is some interest. I'm thinking of a 9:30 meetup at Walnut Creek BART and head to Shell Ridge for a trail ramble? I can also do road to if that is more preferable but my first choice is trail. Anyone local to WC that guide? I've done Shell Ridge a handful of times and just

We used the scooter method explained in Sheldon's article for my youngest son who struggled with balance on his bike. It worked great as he was able to transfer balancing on a scooter to balancing in a bike! Good luck. She will be joining you on long rides before you know it! Enjoy! -- You
