Hi everyone:
This is my first post in the group -- some of you may recognize my name
from the iBOB or 650B lists, though. I am not yet an RBW Owner. But I am in
the market for a tandem, and the HHH seems like a wonderful option. The
only major concern I have: Will I be able to set it up with
into
the tandem world with something used. I've seen too many sad tandem
classifieds from people who spent a lot of money on fancy tandems only to
realize that the whole tandem thing is not for them...

Just as a PSA: If you buy multiple Hail Mary credits, you will get a whole
bunch of emails with individual redemption codes for each $10 credit. Had I
realized that, I'd have bought a single gift card instead -- I had assumed
that the credit would somehow be applied to my account directly.
Oh
I hope it works out for them. I quickly bought $100 of credits -- as you
said, there's always something that only Riv will sell.

I'll be curious to hear how they compare with Tektro CR-720s. I'm
reasonably happy with mine, but the Diacompes are certainly prettier and
also shave off a bit of weight. And people have complained that the Tektro
has too much flex/play.

Last spring I rode part of the 600k route in cyclotouriste mode over
several days. And yeah, there were many times when I was thinking, "And
there are people who can ride all this in 40 hours???" It's a really
beautiful route, though, and I can highly recommend it for a bike touring
trip. Just
I'd be cautious about relying on Google Maps in Europe. Their data quality
is much worse than it is in the US. OpenStreetMap, on the other hand, is
generally much better. So you could use something like OpenRouteService to
plot a route (note that there is a limit in how long a route you can
There's a great German website that has routes that are much more direct
than the typical tourist routes, but still have a focus on low traffic,
minimizing hills, and a pleasant bike experience.
For Americans (and Germans alike), the route presentation will take a lot
of getting used to -- he

Good morning:
I was going to order some bits and pieces from Rivendell this morning and
remembered that I had a bunch of $10 gift certificates from Grant's Hail
Mary fundraising effort in early 2018. So I dug through my emails and
clicked on the "view your gift card" link. The window that comes

It was some technical glitch specifically with the Hail Mary gift cards.
Other people who encounter issues with those should just contact Riv
directly. As I said, they fixed it
I love my (old model) MUSA Shorts in many respects. But there are some fit
issues/features that could still be a little better, and it also seems the
(new model) shorts have been out of stock for quite a while. My wonderfully
skilled SO has offered to sew me a pair. One thing I really like
Thanks, Garth. That's very helpful. I'll just order some swatches of
different supplex/taslan and see what looks/feels right. Will report back.
