Re: [RBW] Current indexing systems and shifting in general, per the Knothole

The one Randonneur that I know who has electronic shifting, it has failed him twice on long brevets. He says hooking it up to his laptop and resetting the whole system fixes it. He's an extremely strong rider despite being in his mid-60s and he can deal with having front shifting only. Last

Re: [RBW] Re: Atlantis now redundant?

This is a Rivendell geek-out group having esoteric discussions about model overlap. The Atlantis marquee is a known quantity in touring bike circles, IMO. For that reason it's important to keep it. $0.02 On Thu, Mar 2, 2017 at 11:48 AM, masmojo wrote: > I've ridden

Re: [RBW] Re: New tires, perhaps?

When I was in college I was about 300 give or take, (no judgement please had a good reason) I had a Cannondale M500 mountain bike and I used to ride it off curbs every day, at least 6-7 times a day, maybe more. When I left the sports training facility I would ride down all the stairs also, down

That's what mine looked like too. When I told Velocity what I was doing with it, they replaced it with an Atlas. 260-270 lb rider, Randonneuring and urban riding with a big Carradice with lots of stuff in it. On Tue, Feb 28, 2017 at 2:22 PM, Steve Palincsar wrote: > I've

I'm wondering if this might be the bicycle to try out Jones h-bar? Swept back - very wide grip. Could be ideal. On Tuesday, February 14, 2017 at 4:13:18 PM UTC-6, Jim S. wrote: > > Hi all, > > I was wondering if any prospective Rivendell tandem owners would be > willing to share

Re: [RBW] Re: New tires, perhaps?

Good point Ryan. I don't ever take my Rivendells places and lock them up. I only use my beater bike for that, an 80s gas-pipe Nishiki. -Jim On Tue, Feb 21, 2017 at 3:25 PM, Ryan Fleming <ryanmalloryflem...@gmail.com> wrote: > Jim makes a good point...custom dreams aside. That bike

Re: [RBW] New tires, perhaps?

It looks like a really nice day. The last time I wore a tire down to the casing, I got a flat and I was on a 200K far from anywhere with weather in the mid-30s and drizzle. I had a spare LoupLoup Pass tire in my bag, but still, having to take off my lobster gloves to change it in the cold

I bought those books when I first moved to Oakland in 1989. They were a great resource and I've ridden pretty much every road in them. You can find used copies on Amazon for $.01 + $3.95 shipping. Still a good source for rides, though the pigs are long gone from Pig Farm Hill. jim m wc, ca
