Re: [RBW] What's the shortest stem that you would use?

Thought this explanation may be helpful for you: http://www.rivbike.com/assets/payloads/270/original_Excerpt_Top_Tube_Ruse_Layout_1.pdf I would echo the posters that suggest you get the bars up higher to solve your problem of feeling stretched out. (so would mutton chop marv) -- You received

[RBW] Re: Assembly

Hey Noel - Couple of thoughts: Rivendell has a "Build Fee" of $210 if you get the bike sent to you the way that you see in the YouTube video. This, to me, was worth it, as I knew that they were going to have everything set up perfectly. The assembly that you have see in the video will be we

[RBW] Re: Cork Grip Groove Question

also, i have to say, grooving the grips is a pain. hollowing out the end is easy, the groove around the grip is pretty tough. i appreciate the pre-grooved grips much more now :-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To view this

[RBW] Cork Grip Groove Question

Hey all - I have a pair of the non-grooved miesha cork grips, and am hollowing them out myself to allow me to use bar ends - I just did the hollowing out, and it seems like there is a lot of cork hanging off the end of the bar (i.e. the bar end shifter will have to go through about 1/2" of cor

[RBW] Re: Riding in Birkenstocks

oh, forgot to say, after modding my grip kings with the spikes from Riv, birkenstocks are WAY better to ride in. the problem I was having before the mod was they felt slippery. there is nothing worse than feeling like your feet might slip/losing confidence when riding. so, if you love rid

[RBW] Re: Riding in Birkenstocks

I really dislike riding in chacos, they are always too wide for me and strike the crank on the inside when I pedal. Tried them with mks touring pedals and grip kings, they are a no go for me. Super comfortable for walking around though. Tevas + grip kings are my favorite for long rides. Birks
