[RBW] Cheviot Wool Sweater Preorder - Anyone In?

Howdy, Grant wrote about this a few blahgs ago. I am intrigued, but a bit hesitant to put down $120 without having some idea of the style of the sweater that is being produced. At the same time, I love the color, and the concept. I also remember that Grant did a collection of wool sweaters

[RBW] Re: Cheviot Wool Sweater Preorder - Anyone In?

I'm in. First reason -- I simply want to support Rivendell; I want it to continue serving our passionate community for years to come. I'm more than willing to take a $120 chance. Second -- I can always use a great wool sweater. Third, trusting Grant with the wheels I ride on is much more

[RBW] Re: Roadeo on Cycle Greater Yellowstone 2019

Steve, in response to your questions: For handlebars, agree 100% that Drop Bars are the way to go for a ride like this. Gearing: my gearing is always exceptionally low. My Roadeo with 22-34-44 and a 13-30 may have been the lowest gearing out of all the riders. I need those low gears -

[RBW] Rough drive train issue

I agree — I started by taking it to LBS and did not get an answer. Then I took it apart piece by piece and put it back together which also didn’t give me a definite answer. Then I took it to RivHQ and Will suggested it just needing time to break in which seems entirely plausible. Figured I

[RBW] Re: Charlie H Gallop!

As much as I would love for the bike to be fully lugged and have a level TT, I think you are right that it will most likely have modern Riv geo and fewer lugs. So yeah, maybe a more roadish version of the Clem, the latter of which Grant says he thinks of as a mountain bike. A new Hunq would be

What's in a name? Charlie Hustle is a nickname for Pete Rose Gallop is something a horse does I'll put my 2 cents in for a mostly tigged, cheaper roadish country bike to replace the Appaloosa and Sam. Modern Riv geo with long chainstays, sloping TT. Would they include centerpull brake mounts

[RBW] Rough drive train issue

I’ve also experienced this and my interpretation is that the chainrings need some time to get rid of their "rough” edges (from machining?). Maybe someone with a background in tool making can chime in on the manufacturing processes and postulate on that?... I’ve only noticed it on low to mid

[RBW] Re: Cheviot Wool Sweater Preorder - Anyone In?

I don't believe there has ever been a pre-order for Riv clothing, but of course I could be wrong. I don't think it's so much a price thing--get a discount for early ordering. He made it very clear that they need to buy a fairly big quantity (200?) and so before even doing so, needed to get a

RBW has done pre-orders for wool jerseys in the past...back when they did the nice embroidered RBW jerseys.cheers,Andrew On Monday, September 16, 2019, 12:35:03 PM GMT+10, Mark Roland wrote: I don't believe there has ever been a pre-order for Riv clothing, but of course I could be

[RBW] Re: 63cm Roadeo arrived from Seattle

35 miles out in the country on the Roadeo today and man, I like this bike more & more. So smooth and comfortable. I topped out at 45mph on one downhill. And I rode a dirt section of nearby Sam's Creek Road on it with no trouble--something I'd never have attempted on my RB-1 with 25mm rubber.

[RBW] Rough drive train issue

I have had a similar problem with my 2010 Sam. A little different in that it is most noticeable on the drive side down stroke and particularly when spinning when not climbing. I put it down to poor peddling technique until it got worse. After making sure it was not a crank issue I have
