I was thinking of doing this also because the rear wheel on my Riv has
developed a bit of a wobble. So throw on the rear wheel from the Soma
until I get a chance to true up the Riv wheel. Both casettes are less than
three months old and both chains probably have less than 750 miles on
them.
I've been missing my rides as my bikes didn't get back from vacation until
a week after I did due to me leaving my car out there and flying back. I
did bike commute on my old Nishiki a couple of times but it's not the same
as riding my nicer bikes. That dang old Nishiki doesn't even have braze
You can get a full set of Jagwire stainless cables with Teflon internal
housings on eBay for $13 shipped in your choice of color complete with all
ferrules and so forth. It's called an OEM pack.
I love my LBS and I spend money with them when I don't have time to work on
the bike myself or when I

Rode 200k on borrowed flat pedals after I forgot my SPD shoes. Used high

A lot of you Riv riders use regular shoes for riding.

This looks like a short cage road derailer with some modifications. I
don't get what's so great about it.

That's a pretty extreme example. Most people would economize some things
in the build. I think some of the parts on there I might characterize as
crazy. A $1,400 wheelset with tubes and tires? $640 for cranks, BBs and
pedals? $146 for chain and cassette?? (I don't think Rivendell sells
I keep a replacement shift cable in my saddlebags. They are quite
inexpensive and don't take up much space.

Cypres lasted less than 1000 miles on the rear for me in randonneuring
usage on smooth roads . Granted, I am tall and heavy, roughly 260 lbs.
But I would I would predict a similar life on a loaded commuting bike, not

You must be much lighter than I. The Cypres on the rear wheel was worn

I agree with what you say in theory, but triples are a lot more cost
effective. I bought my XD600 for $88 on ebikestop.com. If someone can
point out where I can get a wide-low double for that kind of loot, I'd be
happy to buy one. I have no interest in forking over $400+ for one of

Good idea. I have seen some brand new bottles dropped by the side of the
road on charity rides. I keep thinking I should pick them up and take them
home.
Oh and, another vote for the Camelback Podium. Much easier than standard
bottles.
