Re: [RBW] Re: Huge Rosco Mixte

Just a quick update for everyone. I mounted an Ursus Jumbo Double Leg Kickstand on the Mixte and so far it works extremely well. I've also ordered the Hamax Caress Rear Child Bike Seat (for rack), which arrives tomorrow, and am looking forward to it. The only bummer is that he isn't as close

Re: [RBW] Re: Huge Rosco Mixte

I haven’t transitioned to a rear child seat yet and still have some use left in our Yepp mini front. I also don’t own a huge Rosco mixte (somewhat regrettably... I chose a 65cm Clem H instead for a few reasons but kind of wish I had both, though they sold so quickly I’d have missed out

Re: [RBW] Re: Huge Rosco Mixte

I used the Yepp seat rack mounted as we had to switch between two bikes. It worked great on a Tubus. The Cheviot had the Ursus stand and it was the most steady by far. I tried lots of stands (VO, Hebie, Pletcher, Lumintrail etc) and the Ursus was the most steady for the precious cargo. I always

Re: [RBW] Re: Huge Rosco Mixte

I used the Velo Orange porteur double kickstand on a Civia Twin City bike with a Bobike rear child seat. It was excellent. I originally used it for keeping the bike steady when loading it heavily; when I started carrying my kid on it I kept using the same kickstand. Never a problem. I also used

Re: [RBW] Re: Huge Rosco Mixte

I agree about the one-color treatment..I think the Cheviot Green on my Clem L (and original Cheviot) looks great without the cream contrast headtube. I actually think this about most Rivs anymore, which I know is heresy. If I ordered a custom I would do the fancy cream cutouts, but pass on the

Re: [RBW] Re: Huge Rosco Mixte

You sure gotta love that packing job. Jenny and the rest of the crew do a beautiful job in that regard. Those bikes are coddled. No, they're swaddled BTW the seat lug looks like the one on my (custom) mixte. It looks really delicate doesn't it? You know, I really like that grey as a single

Re: [RBW] Re: Huge Rosco Mixte

Ah, that actually solves the only 'complaint' I have with my Cheviot. I would like to be able to do 55 tires with room for fenders. And l like the cross bar handle. And the extra bosses for water bottles. Still, the Cheviot is plenty heavy for me! On Sunday, October 1, 2017 at 7:11:37 PM

Nice. I have the Big One's (what they were before being rebranded as G) mounted tubeless on velocity cliffhangers, and I love them. I pump them up to about 30 psi, but after not enough minutes of city riding they seem to leak/heal enough to settle in around 20 psi. As they're so thin and

Re: [RBW] Re: Huge Rosco Mixte

Mountain bike versus country bike. 2.3” to 2.4” clearance on the Huge Size Rosco Mixte. Cheviot is more like 700x45-to-50 max. Cheviot has sidepulls. This answer is not to be confused with the Rosco Medium. That one has the Appaloosa fork crown, which means clearance is more like 700x55 max.
