Restivus before I post for sale elsewhere. Thanks for looking!

It's time to let this go to someone who will ride it. I built her up about
5 years ago and commuted on it for a bit, but I found it a tad too big for
me (I'm a 85 pbh). Long chainstays made for a super comfy ride.

Now I see that what Deacon does works for Deacon and what Doug, or

just because of physics but because of lifestyle and personality.

I should be clear: For success with MSW, clean the chain thoroughly for the

I have used a variety of locks over the years, but now pretty much use the

As mentioned it is reasonably difficult to defeat, it folds up compactly, has a

I have recently switched over to NFS lube after years of using Boeshield. I am finding that the NFS lasts much longer and needs to be reapplied less frequently. It also keeps the drivetrain very quiet and the chain stays clean. I was skeptical that 12 drops world be enough to work but it

Yes, being young helps, but typically on most BMX bikes (especially 20"ers of
the day) the seat was sort of an appendage that didn't get used much. Even
today they keep they seat really low. Nice if you're young and you've got good
knees.
The gearing is pretty low & ALL climbs are attacked out
I use an Abus Bordo Granite (heavy but very well rated) to go thru the

tend toward being over insured.

Hi All!

I’ve considered both the Fredward and cross check. I’m concerned the rides will

Hi Alex
I don't have bikes with centerpulls, but I had squealing issues with my RH
cantilever brakes.
Long story short, I swapped from salmon pads to black pads (using same
holders), and after several times of riding, they ceased to squeal.
I've read (in comment section of RH blog, I think)
Probably needless to say, but that should be "32 mm ...".

I saw that someone was selling one of these in 175mm, which is unfortunately
too long to match the 170mm drive side arm that I already have. Anybody got a
170mm they don’t need?
This is for the Sugino crankset that came as OEM on the original Quickbeams.

Ha! I was the one that pointed to the device, only because I was hoping to
order one from Riv a week ago when placing an order for other things. Alas they
didn’t have it in stock, and I - unexpectedly - was able to source one locally.

I'll add Handsome Fredward and I understand it's not a Riv. I have a ton of

Andrew may well have found his QB, but besides the Surlys and Somas he

Toeing the brake OUT actually stopped the squeal, too, but I didn’t leave it

I would say the Cross Check is more comparable to the QB. The Steamroller
has quite a bit steeper geo.

You mention pad holders so I assume the brake shoes are of the type with a
replaceable pad. I'd try one piece shoes as the next experiment. I've wondered
if pads of that type not being fully seated in their holders could be a source
of vibration or resonance that contributes to squealing. I've

- Quickbeam (64 cm)
