I've been running my early (road standard or custom) Riv 650B for years,
yes it's low, but it feels normal to me. Originally was 700x28 when I got
it in 2005 (short reach brakes even), now 650B x38 with fenders, love it so
much this way.

That's not the way I interpreted this passage:
"tempts a fella to put the Paul motolite to the test it (*if?*) the brakes
work in the reverse, 26" *to* 650b or 700c" (not 26" *from* 650b or 700c)
I'm not familiar with Justin's frame size, which he hasn't posted in this

Thanks for the kind words, folks!
Kent,
The double top tubes seem to be a love it or hate it dichotomy! I quite
like it on the Sam, but it seems like more of a novely than a necessity on
the 58- at least unloaded with someone of my size on it. Haven't loaded
this bike up for an overnight

I have a Sam with the old cork grips, and I love them.
I ordered a Homer frame in July and was told the cork was unavailable. Now
I'm just ready for grips and here they are.
Thanks, Julian, for the post.

Thanks for the ride report. Last fall I followed the same trail from SLC
north to Ogden and took frontrunner back. I always intended to do the
southern section. I have recently moved away from SLC so I imagine it's not
a ride I'll get to do now, but now I feel like I was able to.

Hi All,
I’m not sure this is the right audience but I’ll just throw it out there. I’m
selling a complete Soma Tradesman cargo bike. I’m in Boston and would like to
sell local if possible. Attached is a link to the Craigslist post. Thanks!
Nice ride report. Thanks for sharing it. I haven't made it that far south
on the trails* yet on my own blue, twin-top-tubed Hillborne. Looks like
fun---maybe next summer.
Now to the important question: Which is that favorite brewery of yours?
Sounds like it could be Fisher or Templin.
Peter:
Justin is looking to go the other way. From 700c to 650b. A relatively easy mod
for a frame with removable canti posts, but brazed on/tig'd ones require
surgery.

I have done something similar with a bike I own. Not a Riv, but also has
relatively low bb height. It is a bike originally designed for 650b rim brake
wheels. I had the cantilever posts moved so I could use 26" wheels instead. I
just really wanted a 26" allrounder, road geo and spritely tubing.
Patrick hasn't posted for a while. Does anyone know his situation? Is he
well?

I've done this (or at least attempted this) with an old VooDoo frame that I
tried to convert to 700c. I was using Paul's MotoBMX, which has greater
travel range than the Motolites, because the brake arms lack the cutaway
close to the cable clamp (so the arms are a little heavier). My takeaway
I'm wondering what you're looking to achieve. Appas take 55mm tires I think
so I don't think you'll gain anything in tire width or more cush.
Unless it's just that you want to tinker and see if it works for the fun of
doing an experiment. Then I totally get why you're doing it!
Best,

I should add "in my opinion" to that. Reading it back now, it has an abrasive
tone I didn't intend. Sorry!

There's also the matter of BB height. Riv already designs them low, which
negates one of the reasons to 650B-ize a 700c bike while creating a major pedal
strike problem. Your 700c Joe doesn't need the fix.

you can't make the wheel size smaller with the motolite brakes, only
bigger. for example, a vintage MTB with 26" wheels can take 650b or even
700c (small tires) using the motolites. but you can't go the other
direction unless you have a framebuilder move the canti studs down.
On Thursday,
So I may be misunderstanding this "while skirting Rivendell's advice to not
meddle with making their 700cc designed bikes into 650b" but the fact that
the Appaloosa is able to take linear pull brakes tempts a fella to put the
Paul motolite to the test it the brakes work in the reverse, 26" to

I guess we're in the Golden Age of Handlebars. It's kind of like shopping for
caulk at Home Depot, or jeans at the Gap-- Just waaay too many choices for me.
Thankfully, I'm from the school of thought that believes the software (my body)
will, within reason, adapt to the hardware. I'll buy a
