[RBW] Re: Fender Choice
Congrats on your new SH! To my knowledge the largest hammered Honjos are only 43 mm wide. I have a set on my AHH with 32 mm Marathons. They are just wide enough to be fully functional. My Jack Browns or 35 mm Marathons fit but aren't super functional in that the fender doesn't cover as well and water sprays out the side. If you want metal fenders you might want to consider the Berthoud 50 mm stainless fenders. I want to switch my hammered Honjos for a pair of the 50 mm Berthouds since the Honjos really do limit the size tire.

Rex, Congratulations from another recent-new-Riv owner! You're going to love your bike even more when you ride it. I agree with Jim about the hubs: I mounted VO wheels (105 hubs, 130mm) in a Bleriot frame which also takes 135mm. There were no issues whatsoever. I just installed the wheel and tightened the skewers. In my case these are VO anti-theft skewers, so you screw them tight. So far, they work great, YMMV. I felt the same as you regarding the shiny hubs/wheels. The VO wheels, 650b in my case, look great and ride great. Of course we want to see pictures, especially of that color.

[RBW] Re: I'm now OFFICIALLY a riv owner!
I was faced with the same issue when building my Sam. I went with the Phils, 36s, and a 7-speed DuraAce FW with absolutely no regrets. When you amortize the extra $$$ over the life of the bike it amounts to chump change. You have to decide whether a year from now you'll be saying I should have done the Phils. or I wish I would have done the Phils. Bill On Jun 28, 7:59 pm, Montclair BobbyB montclairbob...@gmail.com wrote: Congrats, Rex. A fine ride like a Hilsen deserves a fine set of wheels... That makes all the difference (in my opinion)...

I drove down on Saturday and picked up my 67cm AHH frame! It's a work of art! I went with a custom color, and after many hours of second guessing my decision I finally got to see it! I have to admit that it came out a lot lighter than I expected from the paint chip, and I was a little bit upset when I first saw it, but once I started hanging shiny bits on it I started to realize that it's probably a lot nicer than what I'd originally asked for, and it's really growing on me -- I think now that it's a really nice color! [The big reveal coming once the shiny bits are properly hung :-) ]. So, speaking of shiny bits... there's one rather important one that I haven't decided on yet! Wheels! I really like the classic polished hubs, and this bike is beautiful and really deserves some nice looking hubs, but a set of Rivy hubs approach the the amount that I was hoping to spend on the entire wheelset! I considered the VO Grand Cru hubs, which are a bit cheaper, but they don't have the 32 spoke hubs that I wanted (I like the look of 32 spoke hubs, and I'm a lightweight rider for my height, I have a touring bike for the heavy loaded stuff). I like freewheels, and 7 speeds is perfect [prefer it over 9], but am probably leaning more toward a cassette just because quality freewheels are getting harder to find. The problem that I'm having is that it's harder to find 135 mm hubs that meet these requirements than 130 mm hubs, as 135 mm stuff is usually MTB oriented and more colorful (usually anodized). So, I'm starting to think about maybe getting a set of road hubs and buying a new axle and respacing it... anybody ever done that? Is it hard to find proper axles?

Rex. Phil hubs are the best money can buy. I tried a set of budget wheels when I was first indroduced to the Riv ride. My first Riv a 650b Saluki w. a budget wheelset. Although the ride was very impressive it didn't take off till a year later when I had a 8 speed Phil wheelset built. I really noticed a difference in how the bike handled and rolled. Wheels are a very important decision. Why not go w. the best. I didn't have the money originally for the Phil set. In the long run you will save and Phil has a better resale value if you decide to sell.

[RBW] Re: Fender Choice
Just for reference i have 48mm (i'm pretty sure) fluted VO fenders and i had to squeeze them at the chainstay a bit to get them to fit. I think 50mm, you might need to snip a little bit off. on my fenders i'm running 37mm tires that measure out closer to 35mm, i think 40mm on mine would be tight, i think 37mm would be no problem.

[RBW] Dumb Seatpost Question
Hi all, I have a dumb question, i have a kalloy seatpost (i think it's the cheapie s83), it's a single bolt. For the life of me i cannot get this thing tight, i crank it down to what i think is tight, but the rear of my brooks will dip within about 10 miles. When i look at the post there are clear gouge marks in the post from the clamp digging in, but still i can't get it tight. Is there something i'm missing? could i have mounted the clamp backwards? Any ideas, i'm sure it's something really dumb... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Fender Choice
Here's my view on the SKS/Esge Longboard fenders. I have 38mm Schwalbe 650b's on my 54cm AHH with 45mm SKS/Esge Longboard fenders. Tight fit, but it works; not sure I would try it with 40mm tires. Adjustment is pretty easy, but takes a long time to tweak it to precise tolerances so it stays centered. Main problem is that they are flexy and hit a resonant frequency under certain conditions that shake the whole bike. E.g., at higher speeds, the gigantic flap at the bottom of the extended front fender would catch a lot of wind and start hitting the tire, which drove me nuts. Quickly took the flaps off both fenders. That helped, but didn't get rid of it entirely. About the only thing I like about them is that they are relatively light, and don't get that 'twang' when you kick up pebbles. I can move at relatively moderate or slow speeds without issues. I can't say this will happen to you, or anyone else, but I'm eying some metal fenders to see if it can reduce of eliminate the problems I have. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Any ideas, i'm sure it's something really dumb... Sometimes the cheaper seatposts are soft enough that the clamp assembly cuts into the post. In other words, it takes a set position and will tend to slip back into that position when tightened. It might also be that the clamp mechanism is made from stamped parts, or improperly hardened parts, so that once under load, they will bend and slip until they wedge themselves into place - once again out of alignment. What happens if you start it with the nose dropped slightly? Oh, and you are greasing the threads of the bolt, right?

I had lots of little issues with it. The biggest problem was that the floating pulley bar (for lateral adjustment) kept loosening up, no matter how hard I'd tighten it down. Eventually the pulley bar actually fell off during a ride, which is not a good position to find yourself in. I partially blame myself for continuing to use a part that wasn't working right, but still... Anyway, just my limited experience. If you don't need the extra lateral adjustment, the Shimano looks like a better option, but I haven't used it.
