[RBW] Re: Riv Riders in Western NC

Mark, I've been riding in Apex and Cary and I think it's hillier than Charlotte. Lots of rollers with the steep grades I'm finding. Charlotte is flatter. Dick, I didn't realize you were the OP until now. I'm not great at organizing but I would like to do a Riv ride. I haven't ridden in

[RBW] Re: Riv Riders in Western NC

Franklyn, I'm in Charlotte and can loan you a bike but you'd need to pick it up. If y'all do organize anything I'd plan to be there but I'm busy teaching CyclingSavvy 2/24-26. Y'all could all come to Charlotte and join me for the course! Or I could come 2/27 or 28. It's warmer in Charlotte.

That was exactly what I spec'd it as, since they were kinda semi-custom, I wanted the Ram orange on it.(My Ram is a green one, but then I later found a tall Ram frame for my son, so we've got two Ram orange bikes and then my canti-Rom is that light silverish blue color.) On Thursday,

I've cantis on the canti-Rom, Motolites on the Bomba, like 'em both. Have to admit: I'm running 700-40 MSO's on the Rom, and I have to deflate to get that fat tire into the cantis on that frame (I'm running a tire seriously over what is spec'd on it). The Motolites are easier to get

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

FWIW I run Discord fingerling on my Hunqa with a 710 Jones Bar (it is 31.8) - this is no Bosco but the setup feels solid. To be fair, mine is a short 70m stem, not a super long reach. Here's the link, looks like they're sold out: https://analogcycles.com/products/discord-fingerling-stems Max

I use only cantilevers and basically will always ! Good ol' smooth post cantilevers that clear the frame as opened and open all the way. No silly overly long and offset pads that add nothing to the braking performance. I take a certain delight(albeit comical and always good for a laugh in just

I have to agree that the V5 seems perfect for long-sweep bars and personally I think it looks good -- not pretty but not ugly. And the exposed bar center is as you said the perfect place for a headlight. Richard and Garth: Noted about the presumed adequacy of 4-bolt stems. I use the X-cross

Leslie, is your frame painted the same color as the Orange Rambouillet? Did you have it painted or did it come from Riv like that? If I ever get my Hunqapillar repainted it will match the original Rams. On Wednesday, February 15, 2023 at 4:32:36 PM UTC-5 Leslie wrote: > I'd originally put

Mine doesn't have a built in hanger. I went with cantilevers - easier to put bigger tires on with fenders and also I am using drop bars. I have Paul Motolite V-brakes on my Gus ( and other V-brakes on other bikes) and I don't see any advantage in braking for V-brakes (nor discs for that

I am out of my league when it comes to orgainizing things (anything). Pam in Charlotte (on this list) is much better at it than me as she does it all the time. Downside is she doesn't know the area all that well. Could be wrong about that. Would enjoy a group ride and would be cool to get
