thanks guys, i'm really enjoying it so far :) i love the bullmoosies, though they aren't nearly as wide as i expected from the description/pics on the Riv website, but they feel great - especially with the woodies. tons of "leverage" - and extremely comfy setup.
unfortunately i won't be able to join y'all for the SoCal ride this weekend - moving to a new apartment that day - but i'll do my best to make the next one. got one scheduled for March yet? :) a new seatpost is definitely in my future.. i'm a little surprised that Rivendell doesn't stock/recommend an affordable one with more setback, since they are fans of Brooks saddles and this seems to be a common issue with Brooks. of course, not everyone is mostly torso, like me. i don't think i can afford the $200 Nitto one, but the one Clyde suggests looks pretty good, and i may have a line on another Nitto for much cheaper. i'm not sure how i feel about the Tectro calipers yet - at first impression they don't have nearly the stopping power i expected (compared to the sidepulls on my late XO-1 or discs on my Gary Fisher) but it's mostly the rear brake that seems rather anemic, so it may just need some breaking in, so to speak. i think it's adjusted fine, but i'll tinker with it some if it doesn't improve in the first 10 miles or so. btw.. how long does it take to get un-moderated here? i've been posting for a few weeks, and haven't tried to send one spam ;) best, andrew -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
