Hi Patrick, The difference is that I weigh 210 compared to your 155, thus more air required to achieve that fun feel :=) Dave G On Jul 5, 7:50 pm, Patrick in VT swing4...@gmail.com wrote: On Jul 4, 9:30 pm, Dave G d.gi...@verizon.net wrote: The Pari-Moto inflation range (as printed

The Pari-Moto inflation range (as printed on the sidewall) is 55-75 psi. There is a picture of this on the Riv site in the Pari-Moto product listing. I don't know about the Cypres, but the Hetre max is also 75, and that is where I keep the rear tire with 10-15 psi less in the front. Dave On

I have Racers on my Bleriot, and the mounting bolts are recesssed. I use a set of Sheldon Fender Nuts (available from Riv) instead of the supplied nuts, but the supplied nuts are fine. Dave -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group. To

I had about talked myself into the SimpleOne, but now looks like we have another year (or at least many months) to anticipate this model. I have been training for single speed by leaving the Bleriot in a gear ratio similar to what is available for single speeds. Question for you Quickbeam owners:

Hi Jay, What kind of grease gun do you have that would fit in a very small hole in the dust cover? The only ones I know about are made to fit on a metal nipple like the ones once used on automobile suspension components (shows my age!). I think you can also buy grease in a plastic tube with a

Other posts mention a saddle cover--so I'll take this opportunity to report that the Aardvark saddle cover seems to be water proof and fits even the B-67 and B-68 saddles (I have both). Jim Thill mentioned this in a post several months back. The Aardvark even covers enough of the bottom of my

Hi Colin, You didn't say how long you have had your Bleriot or if you have experience with any other Riv bikes. I assume the Bleriot is fairly new and your first experience with low bottom brackets. My past (and brief) experience with bikes in my adult life was with high BB mountain or hybrid

I bought the Baggins LIttler Loafer because it matched the Kevin's Bag already mounted on my Brooks honey-colored saddle. I recently added a Baggins Big Loafer to fill out the matching set. While I'm sure the Nigel Smyth bags have a quality edge and are well worth the money, I'm very happy with

I did the the NYC Five Borough tour on my Bleriot using a trusty plastic shopping bag on the seat. The Brooks was the only dry thing on the bike (or me) by the finish. Sorry I missed you, but I did chat briefly with someone on an Atlantis. I might look into that Aardvark if it will work with
