Re: [RBW] Re: Reliable BIke Shop in Vancouver BC to pack up a bike

I dunno if i'd say top, but toward nothern end. Small shop with lots of the sort of stuff we like and no, not cheap. I did call them earlier though and the price i was quoted for packing the bike seemed more than reasonable. Sky in new west > On Jan 28, 2017, at 9:29 PM, bo richardson

That is a nice review and nice to see. I think with all the new bikes Riv's been introducing, the Hillborne's gotten a bit overshadowed or forgotten lately (I could be wrong). I love mine and, although I occasionally feel the tug of a different Riv (650b Hunq), it supports most of the riding

I don't know of a piece like that, but I've been struggling with that mirror, too, and your question got me to thinking. I found this accessory mount from Problem Solvers..if it's mounted on a Choco just ahead of the brake levers, the mirror will install at the correct angle. Kinda spendy, but

[RBW] Extension bar for the German Mirror?

Does anyone know if you can purchase an extension bar for the German Mirror that Riv sells? I have it mounted on my Choco bars and if I could swap out the bar that connects the mirror to the handlebar mount another inch or two, it would be ideal. I did look through previous posts on the forum

[RBW] Re: Post dynamo, keep the old front wheel?

I'd keep it just in case you sell off a bike and would (I'd assume) want to keep the dynamo wheel. Easier than scrounging up a wheel later on that is a mismatch to the rear wheel On Wednesday, January 25, 2017 at 7:58:00 PM UTC-5, drew wrote: > > I've now moved my only 700c bikes to dynamo

[RBW] Re: Post dynamo, keep the old front wheel?

A spare wheel is always desirable specially when the primary wheel is based on a user non-serviceable dynamo hub. On Wednesday, January 25, 2017 at 7:58:00 PM UTC-5, drew wrote: > > I've now moved my only 700c bikes to dynamo wheels, and have 2 perfectly > good 700c non dynamo wheels hanging in

[RBW] Building up a SON28 Dyno wheel and need help!

For the most accurate results on spoke length you best measure the rim ERD and hub flange offsets the way the spoke calculator is designed to do. Not all of them are set up the same. The calculator I use most often is Roger Musson's Wheelpro and the instructions where to measure are on his

[RBW] Re: Post dynamo, keep the old front wheel?

Using new spokes I am assuming. It would be very uncommon to have a dynamo hub that matches the flange diameter and offset of a front hub. On Friday, January 27, 2017 at 3:04:26 PM UTC-5, masmojo wrote: > > I typically just buy the dyno hub, unlace the wheel, give the old front > hub away &

[RBW] Re: Favorite Front Racks and Baskets for All-Rounders/Atlantis/etc?

The m18 gets bendy with loads of 4-5lbs, in my experience. I like a mark's rack, and have one on my main bike, but these days I put a long strut down to the drop out. Even then, there is noticeable sway. The whole diving board attachment point seems to need a redesign. I liked the vo

[RBW] Re: Favorite Front Racks and Baskets for All-Rounders/Atlantis/etc?

I agree with you, Matt. To me, it is obvious and self evident, by inspection that the 32F is way stronger than the M18. The Published numbers are what they are. I take responsibility for myself and I make my own decisions. I do run the 32F and I would not run the M18, because of my own

[RBW] Re: Favorite Front Racks and Baskets for All-Rounders/Atlantis/etc?

I find it kind of hard to believe that the 32F is only safe for 4.4 lbs and the M18 safe for ~14+? If those are the advertised figures, either the 4.4lbs is extremely conservative for the 32F or else the 14 lbs. for the M18 is fairly optimistic. The 32F has chromoly brazed-on outer struts and
