[RBW] Re: Keto Rivendell Commutes and 2 questions

Sorry, I'm not on a keto diet, so I don't have an answer to your second question. On Friday, June 8, 2018 at 4:20:02 PM UTC-4, phil k wrote: > > It would be ketones. > > The goal of keto diet is for your body to deplete all glucose stores in > your body for ketogenesis.

[RBW] Re: Keto Rivendell Commutes and 2 questions

It would be ketones. The goal of keto diet is for your body to deplete all glucose stores in your body for ketogenesis. Your body will naturally look for an alternative energy source, proteins being the next easiest source of energy. However, your body doesn't want that to happen (as it recogni

Re: [RBW] The Most Disappointing Bike: A Satire

Yes, there is this prescribed notion you have to wear one or the other. I wear from road riding clothes where it makes sense to me (lighter helmet, sunglasses, gloves, bright colored windbreakers/rain jacket), and wear "comfy" clothes where it makes sense (wool tee shirts, wool pants, waterproo

[RBW] Re: What frame and build set make you a safer, slower rider?

I tend to agree, but in a great section of DC with a lot of bike lanes yesterday, a cyclist almost got hit by a car running a red light. John, I think you'll be happy with any Riv for your purposes. Now it's just about what ride characteristics you like in a bike. On Saturday, June 2, 2018 at 1

[RBW] Re: Model redundancy: Why not offer only canti/V brakes on all models? Why not offer a 650b on every model?

I believe cantis means Riv would have to make tubing choices to accommodate the stress on the fork and seat stay. When I was looking at getting a MUSA AHH but a canti version, they told me that the fork and seat stay would have to be beefed up a little and if I was okay with that. On Monday, M

[RBW] Re: Coffee Making Question

Jonathan, my fiance got an aeropress for her birthday about few months ago. We drink our morning coffee from it ever since. I used to drink a french press or chemix, but I like the aeropress - it brings out the deep flavor while still drinking smooth. I mostly use the french press for cold brew

Jim, I think think those scenarios are a bit cumbersome to those who read it in list form. I'm fine if price reductions are a way to get posts a refresh, but just adding the word "BUMP" every week pushes more interesting threads further down the list and I've missed my fair share. Price reduct

I thought I remembered the Joe Appaloosa staying the same. The Hillborne seems to have gotten a longer top tube. The 51cm used to be a 55cm top tube but now sporting 57cm. On Thursday, May 24, 2018 at 5:57:48 AM UTC-4, iamkeith wrote: > > Interesting. Joe appaloosa geometry seems to have change

Lum, It depends on how big your multi-tool, rain jacket and lunch are. I just did a test run, and I can pack my spurcyle multitool, park patchkit, schwable SV14 tube, rolled up brake cable, & phone with plenty of space left. I think if I got a packable rain jacket and if my lunch was a modest

Nice! I think D will enjoy it! Nothing better than seeing the cat on a giant cardboard box. I just unboxed my Hillborne, and I was annoyed by how long it took to pull away the packaging, but then remembered it was for the best as my bike came in tact without a scratch! On Friday, May 18, 2018

[RBW] Wednesday Musings: Are We A Swap Meet?

I too appreciate the FS posts. Sometimes things are selling that Riv ran out of, or no longer stocking. It's a nice second (or third or 20th) chance to pick up a good Riv item. Hopefully with spring in effect we will ride a bit more and have more ride reports. -- You received this message bec
