Re: [RBW] Re: A Bit Irked that Riv Changed the Seatpost Size

Yes. Tubing diameter and thickness generally dictates seat post size. In that sense, the sizing is part of its functionality. A 26.8 seat post size is not exactly unusual, and before 27.2 became dominant, was fairly common. I have several bikes, other than my recent Rivs, that use this size.

Here are a bunch of 26.8 suspension posts on eBay right now. Should last a lifetime of Rivs! On Thursday, November 26, 2020 at 6:48:44 PM UTC-5 Mark Roland wrote: > Yes.

It's easy to see just by watching her ride in the video that she's a very accomplished rider, not only by her riding style, but by the way she likes to have her bikes set up. Not that this remark is meant to take anything away from those who prefer bikes with the various longer wheel-base,

[RBW] Re: A Bit Irked that Riv Changed the Seatpost Size

I was also disappointed to learn my Hillborne used a 26.8. What a frustrating choice, since seat post diameter is one of the few things in the bicycling industry that is *almost* standard nowadays (ignoring the sizes in use on modern MTB, plus all the proprietary crap). Then here comes Riv

I don't think that this is grossly off topic, since Rivendell has recently undertaken efforts to redress the historical injustice suffered by Black people at the hands of the dominant society. (And note that this statement does not imply any affiliation or agreement with any particular social or

You may not think it by looking at her, but she's one tough cyclist. Has done several brevets over 200k. In one video Henry asks her where she draws the line between regular shorts and padded cycling shorts and she says about 100 miles. I can handle about 10 miles before I reach for the

Re: [RBW] Re: A Bit Irked that Riv Changed the Seatpost Size

Isn't seatpost diameter dictated by tubing choice? That said, I agree that 26.8 is less desirable given supply than 27.2. On Thu, Nov 26, 2020 at 10:19 AM Nathan F wrote: > I was also disappointed to learn my Hillborne used a 26.8. What a > frustrating choice, since seat post diameter is one of

Hey y’all, I’m waiting for Rich to get all the parts to build me a wheelset. In the meantime, does anybody have a < $200 650b rim brake wheel set they’re willing to part with? Preferably in the Bay Area so I can pick it up instead of pay for shipping. Thanks in advance! Nikko -- You

[RBW] Re: A Bit Irked that Riv Changed the Seatpost Size

I would argue that ignoring modern MTBs and "all the proprietary crap" is a long way from establishing there is a standard seatpost size in the bicycle industry. On Thursday, November 26, 2020 at 9:19:49 AM UTC-8 Nathan F wrote: > I was also disappointed to learn my Hillborne used a 26.8.

[RBW] Re: A Bit Irked that Riv Changed the Seatpost Size

I didn't try to establish there is a standard seatpost size, I said* almost *standard ; ) How about this phrasing: there are only a few sizes in broad use today and the most common one is 27.2. Ignoring that part of what I said, my point still stands. Using weird old sizes like Riv does

Re: [RBW] A Bit Irked that Riv Changed the Seatpost Size

Modern mtbs have really coalesced around 30.9 or 31.6 seat posts. A few are bigger are smaller, but I’d guess 80% of new mountain bike have one of these two sizes. Eric On Thursday, November 26, 2020, Joe Bernard wrote: > I would argue that ignoring modern MTBs and "all the proprietary crap"

Meanwhile .0004% of bicycles (Rivendell's contribution to the ~100,000,000 that are produced every year) come with 26.8 lol On Thursday, 26 November 2020 at 11:15:20 UTC-8 Eric Daume wrote: > Modern mtbs have really coalesced around 30.9 or 31.6 seat posts. A few > are bigger are smaller, but
