Re: [RBW] WTB: Short 31.8mm Quill Stem

Jeremy, I’m in the same boat, looking for an exact stem. I’d prefer the Crust or Riv that you referenced. Analog also offers their ‘fingerling’ stem that is similar to what your after but a bit more expensive. -Mike Sent from my iPhone > On Dec 31, 2021, at 7:27 PM, Jeremy Till

Re: [RBW] Re: Bike storage solutions: 5 or 6 bikes, fenders

Thanks again! I think I’m set on this idea…however, I discovered there is a “rugged” version that might be worth paying a little more for. It’s here, but you can get from other stores for considerably less money than the manufacturer’s website:

[RBW] Re: Rosco Platypus = Joe's Custom

I'm so excited for the people who will get one. I can never decide which is more comfortable and wonderful - Platypus or Clem? And now the two of them went and got married and maybe this is the perfect bike. How many Rosco Plats are there? Maybe 50? I wonder if a production run could ever

[RBW] Re: Rosco Platypus = Joe's Custom

If anyone was having trouble deciding between a Clem and a Platypus, this is your bike. 55mm tires plus fenders, these are going to be super. Ray On Friday, December 31, 2021 at 11:03:20 AM UTC-8 Joe Bernard wrote: > I love the red one. The world needs more red Rivs! > > > On Friday,

[RBW] WTB: Short 31.8mm Quill Stem

(apologies for the x-post with iBOB) Hi All, I'm in need of a short (50-60mm) extension, tall 1" quill stem for 31.8mm bars with a two or four bolt removable faceplate. Currently running a 90mm Velo Orange but want something shorter. Something like the Nitto x Crust UI Quill stem

Re: [RBW] Bike storage solutions: 5 or 6 bikes, fenders

Yes, of course, the rear fender is a concern. For my part, when my bike is fendered I do have to do a final grab and lift at the seat post. Really though, the only bikes I've stored this way are old mountain bikes I keep around for sentimental reasons. Until recently I've only had one Riv,

Re: [RBW] Bike storage solutions: 5 or 6 bikes, fenders

John, How do you deal with the rear fender? My concern with the vertical hanging business is she'll be dragging the fender across the floor as she's trying to get the front wheel up on that hook. This isn't an issue for the average fenderless 16 lbs. carbon road bike, but her Rivs are fully

[RBW] ISO Frame Saver.

Hi, Apparently problem solver purchased frame saver, as far as I can tell there are no online retailers selling an aerosol can of it, perhaps it can't be shipped because it's an aerosol can under pressure? Anyone know how I can get my hands on some? Maybe a retailer in the Los Angeles area?

Re: [RBW] Bike storage solutions: 5 or 6 bikes, fenders

Hi Leah – I realize you said you'd like the bikes up off the floor *but* consider the Peak Racks. This is a bike parking solution that leaves the bikes on the ground. It's easy to adapt and space the bikes as you like to accommodate your fenders and wide bars. Rivendell uses these in the shop.

Re: [RBW] Bike storage solutions: 5 or 6 bikes, fenders

Leah - I have two Delta Michangelo Gravity stands that go up against the wall. They work very well, and handle my Sam Hillborne on the upper bracket great. You would need three of them for all your bikes though

[RBW] Re: Bike storage solutions: 5 or 6 bikes, fenders

Hi Leah, I use a DIY version of the same style of system. I just installed several coated hooks in the studs. It works well for me in my half-car garage. I think it's a pretty efficient use of space. I staggered the height of the hooks so that the handlebars don't hit each other, and I can hang

Thanks Ed. That's enough info for me to take a chance on this setup. I can't think of any reason the chainstays on the medium would be any wider, but even if they are wider, I doubt they're 17mm wider. Cheer, Paul in AR On Friday, December 31, 2021 at 2:00:27 AM UTC-6 Ed Carolipio wrote: >

Small GBW with 170mm Silver cranks which measure out to ~185mm center-to-end on the crank arm. I took a measurement of the chain stay width at the longest point of the crank arm that came out to ~120mm. --Ed C. On Thursday, December 30, 2021 at 6:13:38 PM UTC-8 Paul Clifton wrote: > Awesome.
