[RBW] MTB hints in yesterday's Blahg?

The MTB will have a threadless steerer (didn’t specify diameter) and 73mm BB shell according to yesterday’s blahg. I love the way Grant casually drops these details. Darin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe

[RBW] Re: Riv Odds/Ends/Accessories to Add to an Order.

Something about the new blue nets that I haven’t seen mentioned (but may have missed), it looks like a perfect match for blue Sackville bags. Royal Banana Sax on the back, blue net up front would look slick. Darin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

[RBW] Link to the Riv copy on the Stick pack?

Maybe look through the Riv Readers shared here by Reed (and others) recently? Darin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to

[RBW] Wald 137 bag recommendations?

I’ve been tempted to try the basket bag from Wald. Doesn’t look fancy but like their baskets, I’m sure it does the job. I currently just stuff things in and secure with a net which works but sometimes I think a bag would be nice. At around $35 it’s a pretty low risk trial. Darin -- You

Re: [RBW] New Bike Day!

I'll echo Justin's experience. No flats since putting Stan's in my tubes. I have used Schwalbe Thunder Burts Lightskin and Compass RTP's. This includes a ~280mi, mostly forest road camping trip a couple weeks ago. I will say that it has clogged a valve core which made pumping with an HP-X kind

[RBW] Pics of your Nitto Big Front Rack install?

I have one mounted on an older Atlantis but was able to mount directly to the mid fork eyelets. If I was mounting with struts, the strut eyelets would go to the fork braze-ons and then would attach to each mounting slot on the rack with the Nitto rack bolts. Like you said, this is a more

Re: [RBW] Re: Dear Riv, please make a wider Noodle

Jeff, You say that your favorite feature of the Noodles is the reach (mine, too), but none of those bars have anything resembling the Noodle's. I tried Salsa Cowbells sometime last year but gave up on them because they had nothing to hold onto behind the levers, that made me realize how much I

Rob, What handlebars are those? Darin, who is sometimes annoyed by that question, mostly when he isn't asking it On Sunday, June 24, 2018 at 10:26:47 AM UTC-7, rob markwardt wrote: > > Threads with no pics are annoying. > > n Wednesday, June 20, 2018 at 7:17:25 PM UTC-7, Jim Bronson wrote:

[RBW] Re: Dear Riv, please make a wider Noodle

RM-13's in the 52cm width are pretty close to what you're describing here. They don't have the Noodle's back sweep on the flats (this would really make them my favorite bar), but do have the flat ramps. They have outward flare in the drops and a little less drop, too. Supposedly these are the

[RBW] Re: Riv website: Newish things???

I noticed that, too. As someone with no knowledge of operating an internet commerce site, my guess was that this could be due to how the site operates when updating items and not due to someone intentionally adding those items to the newish things list. Like maybe they are back in stock at Riv

[RBW] Re: First Riv: 26” Toyo Atlantis

Kai, It may be, but I don’t think it will be significant enough to notice. We will see next week. Darin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to

[RBW] Re: First Riv: 26” Toyo Atlantis

Thanks Doug. And yes, I have seen those but I’m not crazy about clamp-ons like that and have the resources at my disposal for projects like this so I might as well use them. I’ll add that I will be riding this on a seven day forest road tour starting at the end of the month and would prefer

[RBW] First Riv: 26” Toyo Atlantis

Howdy, Here to show off my new-to-me Atlantis, my first Rivendell. Jonathan D. outed it for sale last week and I was able to pick it up the next day, thanks Jonathan! I have been riding various 26” drop bar MTB conversions the past few years and while those have been mostly fun, this is a huge
