Hey gang, Gravel & Grind is a small Riv and Crust dealer (also do All City, Surly, etc) in Frederick MD. We are buried with custom builds, which is great, but we need another part time mechanic to keep up with work flow. Not looking for a run of the mill mechanic, and (no offense to good home

No one is gunna claim their tires don't grip in the rain, especially if they live in Seattle. I don't think these tires have bad grip, for what they are, but Paselas have way more grip, in my experience. Paselas are also slower feeling, and as the saying goes, there's no free lunch. Gotta gi

We've set up plenty of CX70's on triples and wide (46/26) range doubles. They shift nicely. Stiff, look decent, side plates that don't get in the way. But a better bet is find an old Shimano R440 front mech, pure silver, cheap, shift well. That's a great derailleur. -James On Thursday, A

Just for the record, we do rides like this every Sunday night. Check our facebook page for details on em, but they’re a regular thing, and the folks who come do the rides are all on the same basic program: smart bikes, go slow, ride hard stuff, find cool roads. They just aren’t all Riv riders.

[RBW] Re: Rat Trap Pass: reviews? impressions? poetic waxings?

I’ve had ‘em on my Hunqapillar for about half a year. I commute, do fire roads, single track with rocks, short dirt road tours. Tread wear is as to be expected from such a light tire. Paselas they are not, for durability on the tread. They also don’t grip nearly as well as Paselas, as I foun

Actually they are Shimano shifters mates to IRD levers. I think Shimano makes the best friction shifter out there but you can use any shifters on these and they come in silver which genevalles don't. We keep plenty in stock in case anyone wants a pair. -- You received this message because y

I’ve used those bars, and they’re great for the $$. The Nitto’s are a hard find. We struggle to keep them in stock. I like the shape a bit more (less drop) but they are similar, flare wise. Also good are the Soma Portola Bars. On Monday, February 8, 2016 at 12:36:45 PM UTC-5, Shawn Granton
