They're ballcock washers - used in toilets, possibly some other fixtures. Some previous references: https://www.rivbike.com/blogs/peeking-through-the-knothole/last-one-of-march-2017 https://www.rivbike.com/blogs/peeking-through-the-knothole/grips-the-hard-way-how-to On Tue, Mar 6, 2018 at 10:02

Edwin, I used to want a Fr8 so badly! I spoke with J.C. Lind in Chicago several times about the WorkCycles line, which they carry. (Also the Pilen Lyx which I really like.) WorkCycles also makes the Gr8 ... essentially a lighter weight version of the Fr8. Workcycles makes awesome bikes!

TC, I have a FR8 with the frame mounted rack and it is so solid. The bike is so damn heavy, though. That said, it makes my Joe Appaloosa feel like a feather weight! Edwin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe

I love it. I really think there is a market for the L models with a setup to carry kids. It would be a great way to bring in a new generation to Rivendell. I love my Joe as s kid hauler (though really appreciate how much fun it is without a 30 lb kid and a full shopsack). I think a Mountain

I have had two cargo bikes with this feature and love it for load hauling, especially when the load is more than 10 or 15 pounds. Would love to see how this bike turns out at the end: it looks like a fantastic project: versatile in terms of use and surface travelled. Edwin -- You received

Re: [RBW] Re: Keven Sighting on Riv Instagram

It's good. I've ridden cargo bikes/cycletrucks with frame-integrated racks that don't move with steerering, and that's how the Brompton works as well. It means you don't fight the moment of the load while steering, so steering is lighter and less floppy than it would be otherwise. The next bike

As many of you Riv-obsessed folks know, one of the most important things about a good visit to Riv is that your partner enjoys it. Keven whipped up some espresso for my wife when we visited and she left with a better taste of Riv, literally and figuratively. Not that she wants me to buy as many
