Re: [RBW] Re: Riding without fenders on Rivs reviews needed.

Thank you... I like it. The handlebars are flipped Albatross (with the ends cut down due to my thick thighs that like to hit the bar-ends). I tried using Moustache initially, but the stretch was too much for my vertically challenged body. :) On Thursday, May 24, 2018 at 9:41:59 AM UTC-6,

It is! Sometimes I think about getting a thin-walled superlight "planey" frame made, then take the Boo-Yay out for a spin and shrug that idea off a little longer :-P KJ On Tuesday, May 22, 2018 at 1:53:29 PM UTC-7, Abcyclehank wrote: > > K > Is that a 68cm Ram in the famous pearl orange? Not

+1 on the Gino Light Mount. I use them mounted on the side of my front rack and they work great (light mounts upside down under a Wald). I believe you can mount them on the fork braze on as well but my have to change bolt size. Can't remember for sure. John On Monday, May 21, 2018 at

Gino Light Mount is a good option for front illumination. Even better if you have mid-fork eyelets. https://paulcomp.com/shop/components/gino-light-mount/ On Sunday, May 20, 2018 at 10:49:17 PM UTC-7, Mark Anderson wrote: > > If your brake-mounted headlight falls into your wheel, that means

We don't get that much rain in these parts and usually know the season when it's going to hit. My Hillborne has been fenderless for almost two years since I got a fendered Brompton for commuting. I swap wheelsets often and fenderless allows for gravel fun with Smart Sams:

Joe, your all-rounder is gorgeous. Looks right unfendered. Where in GA are you? I am in ATL/Decatur. Seems like I’ve seen more Riv owners from GA on the list in the past year. Regards, Richard Sent from my iPhone > On May 20, 2018, at 7:18 PM, Joe Gates wrote: > >

Today was Leo's last naked and free romp. Pic below. But after 60 miles on wet roads this morning my feet were drenched, and I can't imagine all the grime coming off the roads in Lyme, CT, where they heavily salt and sand into the spring, being good for the drivetrain. Fenders go on this

That’s a great looking set up! What size Bomba is it, if you don’t mind me asking, and what is the seat height? - Max “which Riv fits the Big Ones best?” in A2 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this

Patrick FWIW, back when I had my Race Lite, I combined off-the-shelf "motocross-style" f and r fenders* with ~5" strips of stiff, black plastic zip tied to bottom of down tube and rear of seat tube, in effect continuing coverage for the vestigial commercial fenders. Of course, this didn't work as
