[RBW] 8 speeds going away @ Rivendell?

I would guess that 8 speed is just old now and very few people are looking for new 8 speed parts. How many different parts can you stock? With 5,6,7,8,9,10,11 speed drivetrains what do you stock and what don’t you stock? Over the years it seems like 9 speed became the new “normal” for Riv and

Hi Shojie, I forgot that V brake option. Its something I can check and consider. Thanks for the suggestion. Hi Tim, I forgot that Tektro brake cable hanger at Riv’s site. Its definitely another option so I can retain my Shimano CX50 brakes in the front. I have bookmarked bag sellers you

[RBW] 8 speeds going away @ Rivendell?

I think the idea is that 8-speed shoppers at Riv are looking for a bargain, so they carry one good/cheap one for them. 12-36 would be X'd out for exactly the reason you state: it's the popular one. I'm sure they'll get more. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the

[RBW] 8 speeds going away @ Rivendell?

It's been a while since I checked the parts area on Rivendell's site. They only have one 8 speed cassette configuration, and in black only at grade HG-31. It is a bargain @ $20 but looks like a clearance price when compared to $40 for the two 9 speed offerings. No listing of what grade

If you can pick up in San Francisco (North Beach), that's strongly preferred. But if for some reason you're willing to pay for shipping, I'm willing to pack and ship. The photos in the link below correspond with the list of items below.

I’ve got 52cm from the tip of the Cambium saddle to center of handlebars. 68cm to the bend in the hoods on both sides. It’s great - as is, the saddle and bar are level. On Wed, Nov 22, 2017 at 11:42 AM Jonathan Neve wrote: > All good. I'll look at it later and send

It's a long story I've already bored people with a few times, but the short version is I was in a bit of a cash crunch during a chaotic summer. It's a great bike and if I wasn't already invested in my upcoming Cheviot, I would seriously consider buying this Appaloosa. If you think it will fit

The reason why I asked for an actual measurement was for comparison to the bikes that I ride now. So why did you sell your Appaloosa? On Friday, November 24, 2017 at 12:52:57 PM UTC-5, Joe Bernard wrote: > > I'm not clear why you need to actual tt measurement..it won't tell you > anything

Thank you for the feedback. Compass shows discontinued and recommends Baby Shoe Pass as replacements. Since I've been happy with the Hetres I put on my first week of ownership I thought I'd stick with a good known solution. I went to the Grand Bois site and put the tires in my cart twice but

[RBW] Canvas vest recs?

I'm in the market for a new vest for commuting (and 1-2 hour rides). My last vest was a synthetic kinda breathable number with a liner that has started to disintegrate, leaving bits of plastic on my inner layers. For that reason I'd to replace it with something like waxed cotton. I've read

Sorry about the 404. It's pretty much a moot point now though. Joe Bunik cleaned me out except for the pedals. The pedals will go to the recycling bin for bikes in El Cerrito. Namaste, Corwin On Friday, November 24, 2017 at 9:13:10 AM UTC-8, Corwin wrote: > > Warmest Holiday Greetings! > >

I'm not clear why you need to actual tt measurement..it won't tell you anything about reach. The best way to size an Appaloosa is by virtual horizontal tt, plus a visualization of how much seatpost will show on a 51cm c-to-t seattube. For reference, I have a 79-ish pbh and my 51 Appa fit great
