Re: [RBW] max tire size - Canti Rom

I also have a Canti-Rom, and though I’ve haven’t gotten around to installing big tires yet, here’s a older thread with some info.: https://groups.google.com/g/rbw-owners-bunch/c/HYX-8AMupwQ/m/mCK0H6PA8ysJ —Andy C. SF On Thu, Sep 3, 2020 at 4:58 PM J Schwartz wrote: > Curious if anyone knows

[RBW] Re: First ride, Atlantis

Congrats, Joel! Sounds like you're getting it dialed in. I agree with your observations on the wheelbase difference being nearly unnoticeable. I ride a Quickbeam and a Gus that are on yet more extreme polar ends of the Riv spectrum and 1) I only notice the difference on technical trails, with

[RBW] Standover?

Good afternoon! My name is Ben and I just joined this group! I'm a long-time Rivendell admirer and have wanted one for AGES. I bought an inexpensive knock-around bike in November to start commuting to work and seeing if I could get into riding enough to justify going all-out on a Rivendell.

Re: [RBW] Re: Sam Hillborne vs A. Homer Hilsen

How the canti-Sam became a sidepull-Sam early on involves a guess on my part based on more arcane Riv knowledge than I should probably admit to harboring: Originally the Sam showed up as a canti MIT version of the Toyo/Waterford Saluki/Homer caliper bike. I believe the caliper Ram was still

Re: [RBW] Re: Sam Hillborne vs A. Homer Hilsen

This change baffled me too, when I was buying my 2018 (in 2019, the last one Rivelo had) it was a huge deal for me. Glad to see another run of them, in my eyes the Hillborne is the last holdout of the more "traditional" Riv designs that ended a few years ago. On Saturday, 5 September 2020

Re: [RBW] Re: Sam Hillborne vs A. Homer Hilsen

The original Sams had cantilever brakes; why did Rivendell switch to calipers? It seems to me that the Sam is the sort of bike -- allroad or country bike -- that obviously needs cantilevers (or V brakes; heck, for that matter discs, if Rivendell used discs; just not calipers) for tire and fender
