More rubber at the center track to reduce flatting, thereby a little
heavier.

One more thing to illustrate with that picture, that I also just
remembered: my "primary" hand position (when just riding along) wants to
be in front of those grips, almost on the curved part of the bar. I
haven't taped it or anything, but I operate the brake levers with my
pinkies and hook
I was going to ask what the difference is.

Q's for anyone that may know: Is the R-14 model discontinued or is
everywhere just out of stock at the moment? Is there any other small
saddleback support rack that can mount a rear wired light?

Also, unlike others I am not bothered by the flex of either the 550 wide steel Bosco on the Clem or the 580 wide aluminum one on the Gus. But I only weigh 170 lbs. and have virtually no weight on my hands. The Boscomoose I had was noticeably stiffer which I did not necessarily like.Sent from my
Hi Paul. I have Bosco bars on both my Clem L & Gus. Love the look of the Boscomoose so searched for & bought one. It was a no go for me. Length was fine but not being able to adjust the tilt did not work for me - they were just too “flat”.On my Clem I have a 135 FacePlater stem & get zero slippage
Wow! If someone needs that much setback I would think they have the wrong
sized frame.

the way I've set things up on my bikes and I've enjoyed riding them with

Hi All -
Leah's "Getting Over My Head" thread seems to have evolved into a gearing
thread. I retired from a career in data mining and statistical modeling, so
you can just imagine how much time I've wasted on "optimizing" bicycle
gearing.
Here's the TL;DR version: it's impossible to optimize

Piaw, thanks for taking the time to measure!
Although I have been a customer of Rivendell since their inception and was
a Bridgestone rider previously, I would like to support them as much as
possible. However, I find it frustrating that they don't list frame tubing
specs. I understand there
Eric, thanks for your thoughts. I was guessing the frame tubes were about
as thick as my Sam. I know there is a lot more to how a bike feels than
purely frame tube size, but I'd be reluctant to go to the same tubing for
this type of bike and my desired riding.

There was a Tosco-moose version for a short time, and I’m not sure if it was only that one production run… but they do exist.I would snag one of those in a heartbeat if they ever made them again, because I love the Tosco bar. Would love to try a bit stiffer version too.On May 20, 2023, at 1:03 PM,

i've been doing the best digging i can and cannot seem to wrangle very many
