Hey Gang,
I finally got around to putting some of my Entmoot photos up on Flickr.

I went dynamo crazy, having a dynamo set-up on all of the three bikes I
own. Two have the old style SON28 and one has a Shimano DH3n80. Two of
the bikes have the 60LUX Phillips Saferide and one has an Eyc. Any
combination of the above works perfectly. All have dynamo tail-lights, but
I just finished installing one on my Bomba about 5 minutes ago. Yes, the OD of
the bell mount 'collar' is larger than the OD of the other spacers so it does
stick out a bit.
If it bothers you, and you really want a the bell there, maybe it's the excuse
you need to get a custom spacer made? Not
QR Skewers cost money. Even basic skewers are over $20.00. If you did not
order a set with your wheels you cannot expect to get them. If I order
pancakes at McDonalds but no coffee, I do not think I should get coffee anyway.

As has already been stated, Shimano hubs come with QRs so it is actually
nothing like that all. It is more like ordering a combo meal that comes with
coffee and then not getting coffee. Or something.

Having made that exact switch early this spring, my first question to you
is why? I love the switch because I knew I wanted the curve position to be
my main one and I wanted brakes while I was in it. Either reason is an
excellent reason to switch. Both are even better. But if you are just
Those are great. I love that fully front-loaded Atlantis, getting ridden

Bro, as you know I'm on the east coast this week, but I think I've got an extra
set that you can have, since I've been looking for a way to pay you back
anyhow.

If you're using MTB-style levers, and they're compatible with v-brakes, I'd
recommend some full-size v-brakes (i.e. 100mm or longer

clearance shouldn't be an issue.
Given the choice, I'll take mini/v-brakes over cantilevers
There are many good reasons to have wheels built locally. This is one of
them.

Interesting comments regarding the clearance. I would have assumed the Neos and
minis would have the same clearance given the same pads. But are we talking
about getting a tire past the pads, or the Minis arms contacting the tire and
or fender when braking?
I'm not too concerned with either
I'm
Talking about height to the wire over the tire.

You need to remove the upper and lower headset races with a remover. The tool
looks like a pipe with split ends. Probably easiest to have lbs bang it out.

I like supporting US companies so I prefer to use Paul's on all my bikes.
For me, as well, I think most V brakes are just plain ugly too. The Mini
moto's are ok looking because of the graceful curve but the wire clearance
over the tire just clears a Rock'n road. and yes the polished
Yep. I agree on all counts. The original matte grey XTR vbrakes were sexy on
the MTB back when, but the luggy looks of a Riv sure beg for a classier
approach.
I will say the first few times I saw the mini motos I thought they looked
wonky. It seemed like the pad spacing or the spring tension
I was able to get the shim, dust cover and bearings out, then I took the
frame to my local Riv-ish shop and they let me use their tool to pound out
the races. Worked great. I was going to buy the tool but it was quoted to
me as $36. Free is a lot better. Now to the powdercoating shop.

I've had pretty good luck with Paul touring cantis on my simpleone. The power
and modulation is great. My only qualm has been battling squeal from the front

Okay, re-read that... I was hung up on the 59cm top tube. So a 54cm C-C
would correspond to Riv's mesurement of 56cm C-T I'm guessing. Hmmm, just

I'm getting a hankering for a new bike, something stout to tour and camp

I have a hunch that that the mentioned re-paint included moving the canti

100% agreed, perhaps that's why the low BIN price? Although the early
Bombas had tighter clearances IIRC, so maybe this was a way to fit a 2.25

It's a pretty awesome cassette. Price is right too.
I'd like to try the 12-34 or 12-36 but really, the 11-34 is available most
places in Portland and so it's just so easy.

I wouldn't mind getting the 36 but I didn't want to give up the 11 because
my big ring is only 46 and I find myself in my highest gear much more often
than when I had a 50 big ring. I know Grant says we hardly ever use these
gears but I use my 46-11 nearly every time I ride. I have the 12-36 on
11-30 Shimano, silver Campy Chorus derailer. I miss the bling of the shiny
silver Chorus a little but really when I am riding the bike rather that
looking at it, the current setup is superior to what I had before. Shifts
better, works better with the gears I have up front. I tended to be
