I took a screenshot, see attached. Look for blue arrow.

FWIW, SP claims that their 8 series hubs have similar performance to
SON. The fact that they cost less than half as much is neither here
nor there. I am going to try one and compare it to my SON Deluxe
Widebody. I will let the group know what the

I would like to get some cloth tape to use with some albatross-like
bars (Soma Oxford) that have Miesha's corkgrips on them, to achieve
this sort of look as seen on Rivendell's site:

Note that, I'm not planning to shellac the grips themselves because of
If you want to lay the bike on the side, having a large saddlebag such
as I have on my Custom (Nelson Longflap) also helps because it seems
that the bike will balance itself on it's side between the bag, pedals
and handlebars holding it up. This approach works better on uneven
ground.
I'll flip my bike over any day and twice on Sunday. I just put
something under the saddle so it doesn't get scratched up.
That being said, many times on brevets someone just holds it while you
change the tire, I have done that recently for a fellow Rivendell
owner as well.

In case anyone is interested,
I tried to put an SP SV-8 dynamo hub in my cart this weekend on
rivbike.com and was unable to do so; the site said that the item was
out of stock. I see there are a few other options on the Internet for
vendors, but Riv's price is competitive with them, and I like
Item BH-5 in the Flickr pics, looks like an Albatross, is that
something you would be interested in trading?
I have a couple of SA saddles, one that was ridden approximately 180
miles on a 600K (at which point I had my Dad go to my house and get my
Brooks and bring it to me) and another that has
I used Tektro RX40 short reach before converting to 650B on my early
custom, the Tektros allowed me to use the Grand Bois Cypres, but it
was really close. Never rubbed though.
That said - I'm pretty happy with my conversion and won't be going
back. 38s with fenders is head and shoulders above
The 6700 is definitely not new, but you can still get them. The
current is the 6800 and I anticipate that they will be bringing out a
replacement for the 6800 soon since the 105 groupo is now up to pretty
much the same technology standard at 5800. I'm guessing the
replacement will be the 8000
It's not up on the web yet, I guess. I searched momentummag.com and
did find other articles about Rivendells but none about the Cheviot.

I'm sorry but this needs to be said.
EVERY CYCLIST SHOULD CARRY AN EXTRA CABLE IN THEIR BAG.
They are cheap and they weigh almost nothing. Obviates the discussion
about broken cables. As long as your housings are good you can
replace it in minutes.

I agree it would mess me up but my wife is an inexperienced cyclist
and I think she might appreciate a universal direction on easy and
hard when she gets bar ends pretty soon...

Are those the ones that shift backwards?, eg, cable pull puts it in a
smaller cog and cable push puts it in a larger cog?
I tried searching Wikipedia but I got a bunch of hits about baker's yeast. LOL.
