I have a compact double, 42/25T, 12-29 rear, and the Ultegra CX-70 that Riv
sells is the Perfect front derailleur.

As far as the RD and range, just do a chain wrap calculation, compare to

When I first got my Atlantis it was completly bare bones. No racks, no

I typically ride my bike a short distance (1-5 miles) to a train, then a

Recently I've settled into using my SaddleSack Medium as my daily commute

You use them on bare cables, not in the middle of a housed section.
If you have mtb brake levers, you can sneak the cable nipple out of the
lever. This works well for swapping between Albatross and Bullmoose

As Patrick says, you should be ok. Just avoid slamming up-shifts while
going over big-old bumps..that's moment when tension at the rear derailer
would be reduced, giving the chain enough slack to jump off the ring with a
good bounce behind it.

The IRD thumbshifter is a shortened Silver ratchet shifter, so it should fit
onto the IRD stem mount just fine. But you might be able to skip this step
altogether and just mount your shifters-with-clamps onto your quill stem. The

This is great entertainment , every time Riv releases an photo of an
object . silly season ensues ! It's just a fork crown after all :-)

Another not directly related answer, but I use campagnolo ergo shifters with

As others have mentioned, the biggest issue will be finding a compatible
front derailleur.
Shimano STI shifters work with road front derailleurs, not with mountain
ones. Road triples are optmized around a larger crankset, like 50/39/30,
and generally have longer cages that could hit the
Yes, that should present no problem. Double shifting isn't so picky, and
the CX-70 should clear the frame (it's designed for smaller rings).
Newer double STI shifters have additional cross-chain detents, for

these, though.

They could use it on the Clem now that it's cast for, I assume the same
price as a hunq crown, but it wouldn't have saved them money to get the

What about the possibility that this is the new Clem fork? Wouldn't this be

Good to know that there will be a couple of fellow travelers on the route.
I'm well aware of the potential for carnage and cluster*!$$#@@# at the
beginning of the route, as well as the examples of bad behavior and poor
manners all the way to Portland.
When I ride STP, I wonder why I do it.
Thinking harder for Bill brought to mind an old Reader story about a man for
whom a Super Duty fork and frame facilitated a life-saving lifestyle change.
Maybe this crown goes that way? Maybe that's Buffalo talk?

I've been told that the term for what I've done to that B67 is 'scooped'... And
that it's fairly rare in the supposedly heavy duty sprung Brooks saddles. It
hasn't impacted comfort though, it fits 'like a glove!'
But I haven't done a ride over 20 miles with that saddle in a while either.

Drop-bar 20-wheeled bikes are a blast... especially when a 46cm
