[RBW] Re: Dynamo Wiring inside the Fork and Frame?

Hi everyone, In the weeks to come I’m going to be revisiting the wire-inside-the-fork trick. However, the hole is too small for the existing dynamo wires and I do not want to enlarge the hole. What would happen if I used a smaller-gauge wire inside the fork, to connect the dynamo to the

Re: [RBW] Re: Let's talk about the All Rounder

I could see that being a conversation in 2001. By the time I was drawing up my custom in 2019 Rivs had been running the Mark's Rack location for so long that when I specified "the mid-fork braze-ons" Grant knew what I meant. If I'd wanted something different to match traditional low-rider

Re: [RBW] Re: Let's talk about the All Rounder

When I ordered my custom Riv I requested mounts for a front rack. Grant stated it was tough to place the braze-ons since each rack has unique attachment points. We settled on a location that works with the Nitto mini rack.  So maybe Grant feels p-clamps are able to work around various rack

Well I haven’t done anything with them yet, but I went ahead and ordered the 700C 63mm fenders while they were on sale. My thought is that I just skip the centimeter or so where the fenders pass between the forks and the seat stays when I’m reshaping. I doubt the minor difference in width will be

Re: [RBW] Re: Let's talk about the All Rounder

I’d be curious to hear what sort of justification Grant had for claiming that p-clamps were superior to actual mid-fork braze ons. To me, a fixed mounting point seems like a secure no-brainer… less fiddly bits, no unsightly black rubber, and it looks so much cleaner.But then again, it wouldn’t

Re: [RBW] Re: Let's talk about the All Rounder

Hi m f, welcome! Congrats on the bike. Regarding your question: It seems odd to find an All Rounder, or any Riv for that matter, without rack mounts on the upper/mid fork blade. Would this have been a special request to not have them?It’s not totally unusual for Rivs, particularly early-ish ones,

Re: [RBW] Re: Widest fenders that easily fit a Joe Appa?

That's an idea Doug, however by reshaping the 63mm 700c fender to fit the smaller diameter 650b you would be widening the fender. You would probably want to start with a fender that's more narrower. Paul On Thursday, March 9, 2023 at 3:34:50 PM UTC-6 Edwin W wrote: > Berthoud 60mm (700c) fit

Re: [RBW] FD question

Fun fact: On many Singers, the frame is purpose-built for a specific front derailleur. On mine, half of the derailleur’s clamp was removed and replaced with braze-on fittings. The derailleur bolts to the fitting. This reduces weight and makes the attachment stronger.  But it locks you in to that

Hi Scott — I haven't run this combo but I think it will work. The seat tubes on your Sam should be 28.6. Older, svelte road front derailers without ramps typically work well with wide range doubles. Jan, for a time at least, ran a Sachs-Huret front derailer on his mule with a 44/28. The

Neoprene can work well, but the danger is you get wet from perspiration, since it doesn't breathe. Wet isn't a problem per se, but if you get cold from being wet, that is another story. Of course you'll be cold and wet without proper gear too... The biggest problem I had with my neoprene
