Bill's analysis makes me think using a 2x with 10% difference would get
back to the old half step gearing. It'll be the newest development in
gearing!

The Riv/Blue Lug hat fits my 7 5/8 head perfectly. I can tuck my ears under
comfortably, but I wouldn’t want it any tighter.

The 2nd time that I rode the Cross-Florida ride (170 miles in one day) back
in the eighties, there was a guy on a single speed beach cruiser in
flip-flops. He had a case of Mellow-Yellow and a case of beer bungee tied
to his rear rack. He finished the ride, he was not the last to
Remember that the newish Shimano mountain standard 11 speed cassette width

It will indeed be interesting to see. Several thoughts:
13-42 is 323% gearing, which is approximately a 21% jump if you do equal
percentage jumps at all six jumps. Assuming equal percentage jumps my
guess at the cogs would be:
13-16-19-23-28-34-42
If that's the cogs, then the biggest
That must be Spencer, he was the third person other than Grant or Mary you

Hey all,
Apologies for the cross-post. This is a catch and release from a listmember
a few weeks ago. Just too many projects. Offering for the same price I
paid.
For $1,850 plus shipping, sale includes:
Nearly new frame, fork, FSA headset, seatpost, Shimano 73mm BB, Riv-built
650b/27.5
That is great! Truly nothing new under the sun. Did they really have bikes
that weighed less than 20lbs in 1896? I wonder if that is as much hyperbole
as " From crank to crank his tread is eighteen inches"? Also wondering what
NTS means.

Hi guys, I sent a response, but I don't see it. Does it take some time to
get approved?

Hello Gentlemen!
Thank you for all your messages and sorry for the delayed response, I have
a 2 year old and a 4 week old, things are chaotic!
About 4 years back I asked a friend to find me a Bridegstone XO-1. After
months of searching, he couldn't find a single example that was my size.
Hi all,
After being introduced to Rivendell a few years ago by a good friend I
decided to take the plunge this spring with an older Appaloosa. Dealing
with some back issues I wanted something designed with swept back bars in
mind. Loving it so far! Currently using it mainly for commuting to
It’s intriguing to me, I have an '88 Panasonic PT-3500 I’m building up as a
poor-man’s AHH and there’s nothing with gearing like this that’ll fit into a
126mm rear-spaced frame (without doing some surgery on MTB 9 speed cassettes).

Thanks! The cranks are just the Sugino cranks with a rebrand and a slightly
different inner ring spacing, but I mostly got them for the 165 length and
that they were in stock.
Regarding fenders, these particular ones are new, but I used to use 2.2"
tires and the simworks flat65 fenders on the
Nice set up Colin. Those Stronglight cranks is not something I see very
frequently.. How do those metal fenders do on MTB rides? With the recent
posts by Jason and Will (one of the newsletters a few weeks ago), I have
been wondering if I should take mine off before going to longer trail
rides.
PM sent for 26.8 seatpost.

I’ve found a rear mount kickstand is more stable with a front load compared
to a center mount single legger.

Has a similar issue with 60mm Schwalbe Go-one Speed tires on my Rosco Baby
bike - either of these double kickstands would work, I had the BV one
around so that’s what I used:
BV Bike Kickstand, Center Mount Bicycle Stand - Length Adjustable, Foldable
Double Leg for 24"-28" Bikes
I found them as stable as center mount single leg, but with much weight I
try to brace my front wheel against anything nearby.

I've been really happy with my Pletscher Zoom. It is a one legged stand so
it won't interfere with the tire size.

to say:
1. I was wrong.
2. I need help.
3. Yes, that does make you look fat.

Here is my predicament: I used the Pletscher double kickstand on my old
Appaloosa. It (barely) cleared the 50mm Cazaderos I had on there, but it
did. On my new Appaloosa, it does not fit at all. So I tried the Flex
single. That works for that size tire, but it rubs as soon as I put on a
