You are so good to your RivSisters, Eric. Thank you for fixing those
shifters for our Pam and for making a documentary so others can repair
theirs, too. You may have just outed yourself to some of us
less-than-mechanical types. If you start receiving packages of broken stuff
in the mail, well,
One thing I noticed on my Clem was with a heavy load on the rear, the tail
wagged a little much for me. Due to the low step through design. I’d
imagine with the Gus’ top tube being higher, the frame most likely wouldn’t
flex as much. I noticed your rear rack on your Clem and thought I’d point
Good points already noted above. Although I wouldnt say Susie is a lateral
move personally, but you were asking about the Gus (which does ride the
same as the Susie). main factors are 1) how big are you 2) what riding you
do 3)do you like to sit on top of the bike, or more in the bike. Clem
Yes, my Clem does the same. I’ve tried a few loaded setups and balanced front / rear seems best. There is wheel flop aplenty if I load up the front. But, it really does not bother me. Gus is less sensitive to loading for sure.Sent from my iPhoneOn Mar 9, 2024, at 4:42 PM, Hoch in ut wrote:One
Thank you Eric for sharing! All good advice. Nothing worse than a small
part falling on the shop floor and spending untold time groping around
looking for it.

To clarify I just meant the type of riding they covered. Since the Susie is
the less stout of the two models (Susie/Gus) I would put it on similar
ground as the Clem as far as what riding its aimed at. Not trying to imply
the ride
Jumping off of Bill Lindsay's RoadeoRosa thread, where he commented on the

I love Jan and his stuff, but I think keeping the smooth post brake pads
for his brakes is being a slave to the past. I've never liked any of the
brakes
Thanks for the confirmation, Jason. I was focusing down to these two bikes
based on the comments here and the descriptions on the Riv web site.

and I'm a lighter rider. I have seen very little information about the
Thanks, Bill. I'm not ready to give up just yet. Originally, I built up the
Soma with Tektros and they were okay but I did not like their aesthetic and
how they stuck out so far from the frame. The Herse are much more compact
and elegant. So I'll buckle down and work through my troubleshooting

I'm beyond amazed how great this group is to come together to fix my broken
shifters. Thank you to Eric for taking them apart and to Mike Godwin for
the guts. I love to repair things and get full utility out of all
components. What a great video.

Hi all,
Looks like it was a great ride with a good turnout. Wish I could have
attended.
Next weekend is Crash the Marathon. Early Sunday March 17th—role out at
4am. Is anyone planning to ride?
I'm leading a feeder ride from the west side (Mar Vista) if any of you are
interested in that or
A Susie would be a pretty lateral move from a Clem (by description and
such) where as a Gus would be more stout. If the Clem covers the type of
riding you like than the main difference would be style/visuals IMO. Which
is 100% as good a reason as any other to swap frames. I love my Clem and am
The advice I want to give is “pay for PayPal purchase protection”, because
I typically do in these cases. But I have also never had an issue, and so
therefore haven’t found out how difficult it is to recoup losses in event
of a scam. So I’m not sure if it is sound advice or not!
On Friday,
Curious, what is a "tubeless tubular"? My tubulars (aka "sewups") have
tubes.

I'm surprised this hasn't sold, given all the excitement about Bill's
Roadeo Rosa. Mike's is half the price of a new one and no 2-year wait.

I have a Clem and love it (same color, formerly Leah Bicycle Bell Ding
Ding's). Gus has higher standover, higher bottom bracket shell, clearance
for fatter tires, threadless steerer and fillet welds. I don't need one
over a Clem but I love those frames - and the name - and would grab one if
I said that wrong. What I meant to say is that Susie & Gus ride the same or at least very similarly. Riv claims they ride the same. I rode a Susie briefly - it felt the same as my Gus.Sent from my iPhoneOn Mar 9, 2024, at 3:09 PM, Richard Rose wrote:When I measured mine (a while ago) the bottom
I like Bill’s description of a mechanical varsity maneuver for setting up cantilevers. It took me forever back in the day to set up Mafac cantilevers on my Alan cyclocross bike. Trial and error and you may work out how to do it. In my experience with cantilever brakes at present (n=1 bike), I set

@Joel,
The Nitto Technomic NTC-280 stemis very much different than that of the
Nitto Technomic Tallux in that the NTC-280 stem's quill is a length of
11.02 inches, while the Tallux stem's quill length is shorter, 10.3 inches.
This is where I bought mine:
Thanks Kim. I have only used Technomic stems because they were the longest
available when I started with Riv in ‘97 or so. I think on my first road I
used the shorter Technomic deluxe.

@Joel,
You are more than welcome.
I was very fortunate to find this very quill stem. I could not bring myself
to go threadless, after over 40 years going used to quill stems. I am very
slow to change, by the way. I am very happy with the The Nitto Technomic
NTC-280 stem.
