Re: [RBW] What Is a Cheviot?

I would definitely second the "silky smooth and dreamy" sentiment especially with some big cushy low-psi tires. On Saturday, March 28, 2020 at 10:23:57 AM UTC-4, Tirebiter ATX wrote: > > Hello, > > Nice feedback. Can any owners attest to the ride quality of the Cheviot? > I’ve heard it

[RBW] Riv Gift Cards - spend now, hold onto, or buy more?

I have a handful of Riv gift cards from past holidays and birthdays that I've been wanting to use. Now doesn't seem like the best time, though, given the current financial and shelter-in-place circumstances. What's most helpful for the company right? Placing an order, holding onto the cards,

[RBW] Re: Mark’s rack + Wald 137

I used that combo for years before purchasing a Riv Nitto Basket Rack. Highly recommend it. It's hard to overload it considering the space constraints of the medium wald. On Sunday, March 15, 2020 at 5:21:04 PM UTC-4, Eric G@rs wrote: > > I’m looking to outfit my Homer with a front basket

[RBW] WTB 1 1/8" threadless stem 25.4mm clamp

Hi everybody, I'm looking for a 1 1/8" threadless stem w/ 25.4mm clamp, preferably some length (90-120mm), and some rise/drop angle. Condition isn't terribly important as it's going on a beater Xtracycle conversion bike I keep on the street for transporting the kid around. Would also solicit

There's a big green one (64cm) on the site now at a small discount. Otherwise, I would guess summer or fall. https://www.rivbike.com/collections/web-special-framesets-and-bicycles/products/leap-year-special-64cm-clem-l-complete On Saturday, February 29, 2020 at 6:13:08 PM UTC-5, DHans wrote:

Riv had long chains for sale on the site but it appears they're sold out. This one mentions 130 links. I think I have 128 link-chain of my 60cm Chev (two spliced together) but only 8 speed rear derailer, not 9, and no front

Does it strike anyone as odd that they botched two fairly minor but important details on a custom frame job? and put a chip in the paint? i guess that's the Riv way ;-) and yeah, looks like it's sold. that's a relief i'm sure. On Thursday, February 27, 2020 at 5:31:38 PM UTC-5, jeffrey kane

Bob, Not sure how wide they go in 650b size, but I've been running 700x50mm Panaracer Gravel King SKs on my Chev for the last 8 months commuting ~15 miles daily in NYC (mostly Brookyn with lots of glass and other city detritus). I've only had one flat and it was a weird phantom flat (not

[RBW] Re: Frame pump for 55cm Cheviot

I have a Zefal HPX-3 for my 60cm and it would probably work for you too as it's a touch on the small side. But I would call Riv and ask which size you need before ordering anything. On Friday, February 7, 2020 at 2:07:42 AM UTC-5, Adam wrote: > > What size works well? Thanks! -- You received

[RBW] Re: Tires for Toyo Fatlantis?

If you're looking for budget options, check out Continental Race Kings or Double Fighter. I've used the latter on my Cheviot when I want to take it off-road (don't laugh!), removing the fenders to fit 2" 29ers. You can find them for super-cheap at the link below ($13 a pop) and they work

[RBW] Re: Rack choice for Wald basket on a Hillborne

Mark's rack is great for a medium Wald basket. I even ran a large Wald on mine for about a year with longer struts extended down to the upper dropout eyelet for extra stability. I currently have the NItto basket rack but it's twice as expensive and probably not twice as good. On Thursday,

[RBW] ISO: SKS P50 front fender for 700

I crumpled my front fender during a ride this fall and have yet to replace it (mostly b/c i don't want to buy a brand new pair since the rear one is perfectly fine and bears the brunt of the work). Wondering if anyone has a spare front lying around, just so I'm somewhat symmetrical again.

Ed, did you end up installing the Xtracycle conversion on the Clem? I've been thinking about building a cargo set up in 2020 and had the idea to do an Xtracycle on a Clem L or Cheviot, but thought that the chainstays were too long to be compatible. If you were able to work it out, could you
