[RBW] Re: Proper(?) fitting of a Bosco or similar handlebar & Nitto V5 stem

I've found boscos to be very lenient with their "fitting". The only time I haven't liked them is when they are way too close. I have yet to have them too far. I find the bar tilt also drastically effects the reach - if that is a thing of concern. I absolutely love the looks of the V-5 stem.

Re: [RBW] Re: FS SRAM Rival 2x10 shifters and GX long cage derailleur

If anyone else is looking for a pair of Rival 2x10 Brifters, I've got a pair I'm planning to decommission when I switch to bar ends. Looking to get $75 net to me for them. I can send pics to anyone interested. On Tuesday, February 14, 2023 at 1:01:35 PM UTC-6 Alex Wirth wrote: > Gone, thanks

Thanks for sending that geo chart Garth! That makes more sense. You were close! I measured my Schwalbe tires and they are 44-45mm as installed on the velocity synergy rims. It's hard to gauge the true clearance of the frame without actually trying the wider tire, but I think 2.1 is ideal and
