[RBW] Very belated SFR 300k ride report

About a month ago, I rode the SFR 300k event. Prior to the 300k, I rode the SFR 200k event and completed it successfully. I hoped to add to my training, but I was only able to take one ride in the weekend ~28 hilly miles to supplement my 4-5 days of commuting during the week. Despite the lack

If you want to try to make the Chorus work, you could reverse the b screw to add a little more reach, or you could try a Wolf Tooth Roadlink hanger extender. I've used the Roadlink with good results. jim m walnut creek ca On Sunday, April 14, 2024 at 3:02:47 PM UTC-7 Nick A. wrote: > Hey

Hey there Bernard. Not sure about the answer to your first question but shifting under load always kinda changes the situation a bit in my experience. As for the Altus, I'm running an 11-34 10s cassette via friction and it works a treat. Happy shifting! Nick in FC On Sunday, April 14, 2024

I see on Bike Insights that Rivendell made a size 52 in 2009. I don't know how accurate those numbers are on that website though. If the numbers are accurate, they show a 57 effective top tube and 650b wheels. That is a nice looking build with nice parts. Doug On Sunday, April 14, 2024 at

There is a lot of overlap in the Riv lineup. Most bikes can handle any road, paved or gravel, even the Roadini (though I would not buy it for off roading, it will take a 42mm tire which is plenty big for going on dirt). The Homers, Sams are more roadie than the Appaloosa, Atlantis and Platypus
