[RBW] Re: Hillborne Questions...

I think I am leaning toward installing a spacer on the driveside bearing... It occurred to me that, since the Sam has 135mm rear spacing, adding a 1.5 or 2mm spacer would line the chain up better with the middle of the cassette, anyway. At least, it sounds good on paper... -- You received

[RBW] Ride Report: Sam Hillborne gravel (under)biking?

Sweet, Austin! I love the Albastache in blue. Well done. Isn’t the flow of those bars delightful on the descent (and the climb too, but less so for the slower speeds). The feel of picking your line, not thinking but just looking, and riding a rail that magically appears on that line. You’ll

[RBW] Ride Report: Sam Hillborne gravel (under)biking?

When does it become underbiking? I did my first, full-fledged gravel ride on my Sam Hillborne v2.0, Gravel Mode. Weather was 50-60 degrees, sunny, perfect. I road up the mountain north of Frederick MD (locals will know it as the Mountaindale right fork up Gambrill Park Rd). I won’t

Re: [RBW] Re: My one-year review of Cheviot

And, congratulations on a year's worth of commuting, even in the snow. I don't think you ought to regret paying for a SON and top-quality light; you are still south of $4K, you have a beautiful vehicle that will last for decades; and most of all you are enjoying your commutes -- if cycling isn't

Re: [RBW] Re: My one-year review of Cheviot

Even a stable full of more or less expensive customs, plus all the kit -- extra wheels, tires, parts; then the tools; then the clothing, winter and summer -- add all this up and you are still quite a bit south of, or no more than eye level with, the price of the average family sedan or F 150. I

All, I'd like a Medium Shopsack, preferably in Grid Grey to match other bags, but Riv is out of stock at the moment. Let me know if you have a spare! If you'd prefer to trade, I'd be willing to swap nearly-new versions of the Roadrunner Front Runner

Lovely review. In reply to your closing thoughts, I think that ~$4k for such a versatile bike is a bargain. I'd rather have a good all-rounder than a stable of specialty bikes. One of the things I love about bicycles is that you can buy something exceptional for the price of a beater car. If

I have only ridden it to tune it. So nothing to report on handling yet. I have a handle bar bag on most bikes I own and I have never experienced handling issues. Maybe because the bags are on the smaller side and I only keep necessities that I need at arm's reach in them. -- You received
