To be clear (I wasn't), I was trying to answer Patrick the Deacon's questions
from the perspective of how that stuff got to be on mountain bikes as the niche
developed, not specifically why Riv is doing it now.
I've had plenty of threaded headsets come loose over the years, but never a Riv
Theoretically easier to adjust with the tools you're likely to have with
you on a trail, but a few weeks ago I took a poll at work, and it revealed
that in more than 100 years of cumulative riding on dirt and roads, nobody
has ever had a threaded headset come loose. It can happen, but probably

Threadless: Easier adjustment on the trail, conversely offset by being less
likely to go out of adjustment on the trail.
73mm: Wider shell for modern mtb cranks which clear wider tires.

I’m a disc fan, but if I can still get quality rims/wheels and use modern MTB
tires I can definitely use rim brakes. V brakes work pretty well, and cantis do
if i get over the initial setup frustrations I seem to always have with them.
I look forward to an MTB Riv...excited about it, actually.

Joe, you have a lot of equity to burn thru before murder comes to mine, so
no worries there. There are lots of bikes with disc brakes, and I know I
run the small considerable risk of being accused of being stubborn or

He'll kill me for bringing it up again, but I can't see going to threadless and
73mm, then still stopping short of discs. The people want the little discs, man!

The MTB will have a threadless steerer (didn’t specify diameter) and 73mm BB
shell according to yesterday’s blahg. I love the way Grant casually drops these
details.

Oh don't even get me started on thru axles! Now that I have one on the front of
my Crust I wonder why we ever messed with those ridiculous quick-releases made
slow by lawyer lips. Slide the wheel into the forks, slam the axle through,
grab that wrench and thread it into the right-side fork end.
Making a special rim just to use rim brakes with plus tires seems, I dunno,
deliberately retro. It would make your replacement parts very hard to find,
for what advantage? I’ve never had to replace a disc caliper due to
failure, while I have had to replace rims.

I spoke to will maybe a year ago, and he said the plus hunq was happening but
it’d be over a year before anything happened for real. Its about that time now
and then you factor in inevitable delays my money is on plus hunq.
Which I think is a great, great idea.

My guess is a MIT 1x MB-1ish 27.5 plus Riv. A slightly higher bb. Grant has
said that if you need bigger than 2 inch tire to get a pugsley and a dozen
years the reader mentioned that bike favorably. Hard to imagine a Riv fatbike
though ... discs and all.

This might be a stretch, but hey, what's the fun in following a guru if you
can't spend hours parsing his words and interpreting them? I think there
might be a hint towards an upcoming trail-oriented Riv (or update to an
existing Riv) hidden in this passage from Grant's post yesterday
