Yup those King Iris cages are so nice. I'm glad you're enjoying the bike On Friday, August 30, 2024 at 11:14:03 AM UTC-5 mvie...@gmail.com wrote: First Spin yesterday. 26 miles of dirt roads. The stock - out of the box - set up is really nice. Mostly what I'm comparing to are: my '89 Panasonic MountainCat (26in wheels); my GUNNAR CrossHairs (rim brake'd version from 2019); and a Surly SteamRoller I ride fixed dirt and pavement. Unfortunately I do not have the sensitivities of Jan Heine's...... hiney (i digress.... for the moment) - any-way - on my typical dirty road load with small pebbles, here and there ruts and copious potholes, I really love the ride. These tires are a bit fatter than the GUNNAR and SURLY clear. And the GUNNAR only recently got some #SuppleLife tires. I love the look of these MKS gamma pedals. But I can feel why the RivBike folks added those wing-thing deals. These are narrow than I was expecting. I got wide size 12s. I'm digging the bars. I slammed the stem and then gave it 1mm clearance to the top lock nut. Then angle the bars and lever to clear the top tube for the first time the bike falls over at the pub.... I mean coffee shop. Probably I raise the seat a few more mm, slam the seat all the way back, and slightly raise the bars so I can tilt the bars down a bit more. Oh - the bars, I flipped them upside down. King Cages arrived right as I'm typing this. I'll post some Detroit City ride pics with those installed this weekend.  Cheers -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
