1. Spray on WD40 heavily. 2. Let sit for a minute. Helps loosen/dissolve goo. 3. Spin bars through tightly clenched fist with rag in hand to forcefully wipe off the goo. 4. Finish with same technique with alcohol. Should be really shiny afterwards. Done great for my bars. -- You received this

What does the flexing actually feel like? I have ridden a Bleriot, Sam, and Rambouillet. When I am fit, they all feel fast. When I am not, sometimes the Sam and Bleriot felt like I could not get out of my own way on hills. With the Rambouillet, I feel like the pedals are easier to turn. Like the

And don't assume that the bar you have is the diameter it's listed as in print. Actually look at it and read the diameter of that stamped into the bar and then measure it with a caliper. Once I received a 25.4 mustache bar from Rivendell. Normally that old model was 26.0. It was stamped 25.4.

Not that I know of. I'm researching which size would be best for me for when I launch my hunt for one. Not sure if 54 or 52 would be best. 54 TT is really long for me. I am a 54-55.5 tuber. I ride with drops. 55.5 in my max limit for TT length. Ridden enough Rivs to know. -- You received this

I like 38-42mm wide 650b for safety reasons. I have fallen and been injured when using skinnier tires that got hung up in longitudinal road and sidewalk cracks. The wide 38-42 tires dont get caught on the cracks .They roll over. Would have to be pretty wide for them to get stuck in a crack. More
