Just to close this loop, I bought an Acera derailler (surprisingly nice), popped it on and it works perfectly. Didn't even really need to adjust anything other than the limit screws. If anyone wants an LX rapid rise in good shape, let me know. On Tuesday, March 1, 2022 at 7:09:19 AM UTC-8 Pam

I have an Appaloosa with the Rivendell Bullmoose bars on it now. While riding, I often find myself holding the ends of the bars, as if the ends of the bars have bar-ends, or as if I am holding a stick shift of a car sideways. These are the third bars I have had on this Rivendell. I had

Racing is not a bad thing, and there are plenty of arguments for the benefits of athletic competition. What I think is unfortunate is how competition focused the bike industry has become, which really addresses only a small part of the bicycling world. For those of us old enough to remember

I'm a fan of the wired Cateye cyclometer. I'm only interested in distance per ride and total/year. I've used it for 30 years. I love how basic it is and needs a battery replacement now and then. Trip mileage and total mileage always at fingertips. Never have to think about anything else.
