[RBW] Bike Fit - Back Pain - RivRiders Handlebar Survey

There must be a trustworthy shop in Seattle that can at least look at your set-up without charging you hundreds for a bike fitting. We often see bikes come in for repair where the set-up just looks painful, where it was clear the owner was attempting a DIY procedure to make it more comfy. Not

I've got chronic lower back issues, and would like to offer a plug for Pilates as a way to make the lower back a bit more robust. The doctor that recommended it told me that when you start to get to the age where such problems occur, you need some activity that regularly lengthens and

I'm 5' 7, 32 inseam, long-limbed and relatively short-waisted. Over the last few years I've found that my 700c-wheeled Longlow has been sitting unused more and more, while my bikes with smaller frames, more standover room and 26 wheels get ridden All. The. Time. Is it about size? Or just comfort?

[RBW] Re: Bike Fit - Back Pain - RivRiders Handlebar Survey

Ah, bike fit. This is a topic close to my heart. I've been struggling with bike fit for a number of years now, but have recently discovered somethings that have really improved my comfort. First off, in addition to reading Rivendell recommendations, I'd also start by reading Keith

[RBW] Re: doesn't anyone short ride a riv?

I'm 5'4 and am on a 48cm Hunqapillar. Most frame companies increase (steeped) seat tube angle as the frame size gets small, presumably so they can use the same threadless fork as the larger sizes without cause toe overlap. That, alone, is the reason I ride a Rivendell and a low-frills custom

[RBW] Re: Project Help my Build my Atlantis

That's a non-starter for me. I run a $300 dynamo hub and will not give that up, so an extra wheelset would really add up ($400-500 for hubs, ~$150 for rims, ~$100 for spokes rim tape and sealant, ~$100-$140 for tires = up to $900 if I build the wheels myself) For $1000 I'll stick with tubes

Well, if you need this size, I guess it's a somewhat fair price, considering the workstand, etc. If you need a workstand. And the wheels, etc. I'm just being a little cynical about the 61cm, but if you want that size Makes me feel a bit better about what I paid for my 51 Bleriot frame.

Thanks I am talking to a guy at Rivendell. I think I need a triple wheel in the front. I want a bit better quality and lighter= and do not necessarily have to replace the 105 derailiers as they work well. I was looking at the Shimano Ultegra triple crank in the front, and getting a new rear

[RBW] A nice ride today, a celebration of my best bike of all time.

This late winter I traded out my cockpit on my custom road standard. I had been riding a bar-end shifter for the rear and friction for the front derailer. But I got a deal on Campy 11speed shifters. These will mate with Shimano 9 speed drivtrain perfectly. I also shrunk my Noodle bars from 46

Beautiful bike. I celebrated my favorite bike today by logging 30 miles in a driving rain. Rode to Mercer Island, found a beautiful green forest, took my Bleriot for a walk on the trails, got lost(on an island?), froze my butt, and had a great time. Some lousy iphone pics...

I forgot the best part. I had dropped my car off for service in the morning and biked from the dealer. On the way back I flatted a couple blocks away and was able to coast into the parking lot just as the tire was becoming unrideablehah, hah flat god! On Apr 3, 10:25 pm, rob markwardt
