[RBW] New Bike Syndrome

My experience echoes yours, Rusty. I’m a 1 bike person and this is my first Riv, so I made lists (spreadsheets), window shopped, and compiled everything until the Clem was was shipped. Then I tore down my Kodiak and cleaned the migratory components. Everything* was ready for the new frame when

[RBW] Pedal Choices

I’ve got Grip Kings and Wellgo. Grips Kings are on my everyday bike and favorite. Super smooth - never serviced. Always fabulous in any foot covering. I second the Wellgo option if GK is out of reach or too weird looking for you. They don’t get equal ride time so my longevity experience isn’t

I also misinterpreted the term “minimal” - I took it to mean fewer items that perform the tasks of many. Like an all-rounder or spork. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails

[RBW] What do Rivendell Riders use for minimalist dress and biking shoes?

2017-11-18 Thread Irreguleur
I purchased some Evolv Cruzers earlier in the year on a tip from Nam & Benedict. Apparently they are “approach” shoes. I chose to get the non-laced version to remove the chances of them hooking my 3x. They are incredibly light and have tons of grip. I have trouble not wearing them everywhere.
