[RBW] Re: Atlantis vs Appaloosa

I guess I will throw in that comparisons should probably take into account the setup and the role the rider is/was looking for. An Atlantis for one person becomes an off-road capable cruiser, for someone else a long distance tourer, drops for some, albatross or ??? for others. My Cheviot is

Re: [RBW] Re: Even a riv (design) can wobble

Was the initial question about shimmy, or about straight line stability? As Antone says, there is a big difference. I've owned bikes that just felt "darty" -- they didn't want to track straight, and the slightest body adjustment or sidewind would send them swerving. *And*, this could happen on a

But there is basic stability, as opposed to the speed wobble kind of shimmying...my old Nishiki I'd ride through NYC with no hands for miles, besides lights, but through intersections and down hills, even loaded. My new (to me) Cheviot is very hard to control with no hands on a flat road with

[RBW] Re: Even a riv (design) can wobble

It sounds like shimmy is the more popular term, and yes, it went away as soon as I got back into a good riding position. But it was a first for this bike and I was surprised more than anything. I'm sure I've ridden like that before, maybe this time I over did it, or maybe being tired meant

Your frame has two unthreaded bolt holes spaced 51mm apart in the same plane as the disc rotor. This is known as International Standard (I.S.) mounting. The BB7 brake has two bolt holes spaced 74mm apart, not in the same plane as the rotor. This is known as Post Mounting. As is very common,

Tubus makes an adapter that will allow you to attach the stays at the front of the rack to the rear brake bridge. With this setup you will not need p-clamps on the seat stays. I also believe that Tubus makes an adapter that adds an extra eyelet to your chain stay. Call Wayne at

Wit a Tubus rack you can buy an adapter that lets you mount the front stays on the rack to the brake bridge and you will not have to use p-clamps. Call Wayne at TheTouringStore.com he can help you with this set up. On Sunday, May 28, 2017 at 5:00:39 AM UTC-5, Ron Mc wrote: > > These are the
