Interesting... I didn't want to have one bike be the odd man out, so I opted NOT to buy my r-d from Riv (sorry guys!) in order to get a traditional high-normal setup to match my other bikes. The test rides were a problem as I kept shifting into a higher gear at stop signs. I'm surprised that you had such a hard time finding rapid rise, as I was under the impression that was the general direction that they were going.
As for the wheel flop, I put one of those spring loaded things that VO sells (the one that Tom linked to) on my Trek... it definitely made parking the bike MUCH nicer, but it's ugly, affects steering (you get used to it), and wanted to interfere with my fender, but I finally won that battle. -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "RBW Owners Bunch" group. > To post to this group, send email to rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > rbw-owners-bunch+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/rbw-owners-bunch?hl=en. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
