[RBW] Re: Help me build my Roadeo, Part 2, CRANKSET

Some info about your desired gearing would probably help with suggestions. Are you thinking traditional road, like 53/39t? "Compact", as in 50/34t? Sub-compact? Personally, I like a 44/28t ring combo and farily low-Q on my road bike, which really narrows down the options. KJ On Thursday,

[RBW] Re: Help me build my new Roadeo. Part I, Wheels.

I have two wheelsets with the polished TB14s. All 32h. Great rims, definitely recommend those. Go with some Ultegra or DA hubs if you can find a suitable pair in silver/polished that supports 11spd. They are tough to beat. Some polished White Industries hubs would be my pick if there was extra

[RBW] Re: Roadeo Future?

That would be a real shame if the Roadeo was stretched and stoutened. There's a strange and increasing homogeneity happening with Rivbikes that has gobbled up nearly all of their models. I don't really understand the point of having half a dozen products that are more or less identical. For

Too bad I didn't have my Ram at the Unmeeting. I've always assumed it's OS 8-5-8 but since it's the biggest size, I'd sure like confirmation. Maybe some day :-D KJ On Tuesday, October 2, 2018 at 11:02:52 AM UTC-7, Reed Kennedy wrote: > > Grant describes the differences between the Romulus and

[RBW] Re: Disc Rambouillet?

I hear that. I won't consider selling the frame, and the bike you describe in a ~67cm size with similar ride characteristics and any kind of personality would mean custom, thus around $2k pricetag. Granted, I don't know what builders charge for adding disc mounts. The frame needs some other

[RBW] Disc Rambouillet?

All this talk about Rams and 650b conversions has me thinking: is it a crazy idea to add disc mounts to my Ram? It would open up the possibility of 584x48 and fenders, while also preserving the option of reverting back to 700x35 sans fenders. Any words of caution on this? KJ -- You received

[RBW] Re: Recommend 700 x 28c tire, please.

I just grabbed a pair of 28mm Gravel King Slicks during the eBay discount day. Need to downsize my Ram's tires to accommodate the winter fender situation. They have some flat protection. Check out the Vittoria Corsa G offerings for something more dainty. KJ On Thursday, September 27, 2018 at
