I wonder if Riv intends to support running something like a Cliffhanger rim
tubeless or if they plan on working with a manufacturer to make a 650b
non-disc rim appropriately wide for a plus sized mountain bike tire (or
both??). Running a 2.8" tire at low pressure on a 25mm internal width rim
Of course talking about disc brakes on this bike is an exercise in
futility, but it is interesting to consider their use in the industry today
and in the future. For me, I look at a company like Crust Bikes and see
more or less a humongous bite out of Riv's market share. The Evasion is
I think I misread the original intent. You want to ride fixed on a vertical
dropout utilizing a dingle cog. I stand by what I originally said, using
the White Ind dingle chainring would make the most elegant and easy to use
setup in conjunction with the Eccentric hub to accommodate for the
I highly recommend using the ENO in dinglespeed form, if possible. Does a
fixed dingle cog exist?. I had this set up on a bike some years ago, 16/18
freewheel in back and 38/35 double chainring. You need White Ind cranks
too, but those are definitely worth it. This system was super easy to

Sure, you could run a triple crank up front and use a derailer to take up
slack, if you were so inclined. The White Industries solution just happens
to be not only incredibly practical but also elegant. Keeps your chain
length the same, keeps your chain line straight, gives you two gears that
Nitto also makes the Kite bar, which I believe is the exact same except
63cm wide instead of 66

I don't believe it's cross threaded, at least not all the way through.

If you, like me, prefer Nitto to all alternatives check out the M151. I

It's pretty wild the differing opinions people have on upsizing or
downsizing based on cockpit choices. I'm with Bill on this, and I think Riv
tends to suggest smaller sizes than necessary, maybe because there's still
consumer pushback to running shorter stems? Everyone thinks they need a
10cm
I have one of the Pletscher rear racks Riv sold as the "Clem rack" if
you're interested. Has the removable pannier rails.

There are similar bikes that *can *run 26" wheels due to using disc brakes.
The Velo Orange Polyvalent comes to mind. As much as I love the 26er I
don't see anyone outside of custom builds combining that wheel size and rim
brakes anymore

Seems like a decent number of options in the 26+ realm also, like the Crust

Maybe it will lessen your dyno wiring worries but depending on the light

I'm a proponent of sizing to the largest frame that you can comfortably
standover, but obviously the Clem L throws that out the window. The thing
to look out for on the Clem's is the absurdly long effective top tube. I
previously owned a 52 Clem H (83PBH here) and I think it had a 61cm top
