[RBW] Here's my new Atlantis

Looking good! I haven't seen many blacked-out Rivs, but the contrast with the vivid frame color is striking, and a great look all the way around. I would love to read your impressions of how those two compare. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW

[RBW] 47-50 mm 650B street tires. Which have you tried and liked? Tried and Disliked?

I'm currently enjoying the Compass Switchback Hill. I use them on paved and unpaved county roads. They are light, smooth, and have minimal rolling resistance. I have used the EL version on our gravel roads with great success. They are expensive, but are basically the best tires I have ever

[RBW] Re: Roadini - How do you like yours?

I am very much able to identify with your situation, but my experience with the Roadini thus far hasn't been exactly what I'd hoped for. I have owned a Sam Hillborne for the last 9-10 years and was looking at the Roadini to be a more stripped down, faster road ride. Unfortunately, I haven't

[RBW] Re: Problem with Roadinis?

Just thought I'd throw in my experience, for what it may be worth. I currently own a Roadini (non-orange) and have owned a Soma ES in the past (also had a Riv-made-for-Soma San Marcos). I am a vertically challenged rider, so my experience may not be the same as someone who rides a more

Re: [RBW] 47-50 mm 650B street tires. Which have you tried and liked? Tried and Disliked?

Hi Chris, I can only comment on the Schwalbe Marathon Supreme 26x1.6. I was very happy with these tires during my TransAmerica tour in 2016. I think I only had 2 punctures, once in the front and once in the rear. The rear tire had most wear but it did not require replacement for the whole 4,250

I've been looking to move from 700c to a smaller wheel size for several years, with my initial plan to go down to 26". I've been watching the new tire market and have decided 650B is where I'm going to have the best options so that is now my plan. My riding is pretty much 100% pavement, hard

[RBW] Re: Rambouillet vs. Roadeo?

I cheerfully recommend to anyone who rides only familiar routes to get a wide/low double crankset with an outer chainring and cassette T-count combo that enables you to go everywhere you usually ride in just the big ring, and a 24 small ring for the steep stuff on routes you normally don't
