I plan to purchase a Betty Foy....I have been oggling the Betty Foy's online since as long as they have been around, and the Glorius before her. This would be my first Riv (and probably only as I don't have huge expendable income). This is a major purchase form me so I am thinking it would be worth it to make sure I don't just go cheap, but get it built up to something that I will love for years and years and not wish I had spent a little more to get an upgrated X or Y.
I plan to use the Betty Foy for short tours (7-10 days likely the longest), bike commuting, tootling around town, and perhaps centuries or longer (I have a very lightweight road bike that has served this purpose but is not suited for touring, commuting, tootling, etc). Soooo....my thought is that the wheelset would be the most important thing to upgrade (beyond the 'budget' wheelset. Are the Phil Wood hubs really worth the money? What would you do? I am hugely intimdated by the cost but am intreged with the 'Riv' Phil Wood hubs that work with a freewheel. I have no experience in this area as my only bike has a cassette. What would you upgrade and why? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
