The Russian River 200k comes in at a little over 200k with 126 miles. I
consider myself a lazy randonneur. I prefer to train as little as
possible, while also trying to minimize the suffering on the event day as
much as possible.
I'm not unfit because I commute to work on my bike (Cheviot).
Hi Folks

Hello Riv Riders!
Like so many specialized parts these days, I find myself in need of a
couple that are supposedly still made, but that I can’t find through the
normal channels.

Since I need a brake upgrade, I
Well, "to err is human." My sole aim, goal, purpose, and motivation in life
is to have the bottoms of the hooks perfectly parallel to the ground. I
may* have failed and, for that, I am profoundly embarrassed.
*The bar angle may be distorted by my always semi-incompetent photography.
Or perhaps
I approve of this photo...because the hooks are correctly parallel to the
top tube, rather than the misguided standard of having them parallel to the
ground. The hooks are to be parallel to the ground ONLY incidentally, when
the top tube is level. Aesthetic truth and correctness demands this.
Short *housing* lengths ...

Thanks, but the point of the exercise is to match hubs between the 2
wheelsets exactly so that the calipers and rotors require little
adjustment. When I tried an adaptor on an earlier second wheelset I had to
mess around a great deal with shims, which was a pain.

I should have added that each cm of width (with corresponding drop in
pressure) adds very greatly to float over sand. 50s are the narrowest that

Hello Andrew,
What shifters did she have on the bike before? When you said the shifters
died, what happened? Lever actually break? Was wondering if there was a way
to make the old shifters still work.
Shop I frequent replaced some old Shimano brifters that had thumb shifters.

Hey All,
This week I've been fantasizing about a tour route from Eureka to SF that
follows the PCH but avoids riding on it as much as possible (within
reason). So I've been playing around in rwgps and Gaia Gps maps to make
some route drafts, trying to stay close to the coast but choosing
Agree on the Silver version 1 shifters. No experience with a Campy but
years of reliable shifting with a variety of derailers. If you like
friction shifting then the Silvers are golden.
Best,
Rich in ATL

I HAVE been dialing in my rain-commuting setup, but it would be a shame to
not enjoy a sunny day with all of you.

Tim, please pardon my disagreement, but I think your description of the
Platy's ride quality is perfect - "sublime". Anything more would just be
so many words.
Though it's a 50cm frame set with 650b wheels, my 2022 Platypus is built up
similar to yours - Billie bars, B17 saddle, front rack,
Zipp's Service Course XPLR 70 come in silver and are short reach/shallow
drop. (70/115). I chose this bar as I'm using a long body Tektro brake
lever(341) and my frames have a longer than usual reach. So with this
riding with my hands on the top/middles is as entirely comfortable as the
hoods
Congrats Bill on completing your 1st 200K this year in 9 hours and loosing

Record derailleur and it works fine; any misshifts are totally attributable
to the operator...since derailleurs themselves are not "indexed" I can't
see logically why you can't use Silver shifters with the newer (than my
