Hi,

I saw your for sale post on the Rivendell owners list, I'm interested in
the Silver 2 shifters and thumb mount.

Thanks,

[RBW] Re: RH double: spindle length?

[Jason Fuller]

I believe I use a 109/110 on my Hillborne with the RH cranks in 42-26 
configuration, I would have to go longer if I ran larger rings than that 
because the 26 is about 1mm from the chainstay - but of course the 
Hillborne is a bit thicker in this region than more roadish bikes. You 
might find with the Roadini's ample clearance and similar CS length that 
110 is as short as you'll be able to go.

[RBW] Re: Perfect new things

[Jason Fuller]

I imagine this would work mounted mid-way on the support stay like the 
"bent plate" style lamp holder too using a Nitto 'campee bolt', much more 
elegant than the plate version.  I'll certainly add a couple to cart next 
time I'm putting an order in anyway if they're in stock!

I stumbled on these a few months ago when I was making an order from Blue

cart. I didn't realize at that time that it was new or that Grant/Riv had a 
hand in it.

I recall seeing these on Blue Lug's site a while back. It seemed to suggest 
that this was a Blue Lug / Nitto collab idea, but maybe Riv also had a hand

Generally, when Riv talks Nitto into making stuff they encourage Nitto to 
sell that stuff to everyone.  Generally, Riv is not into exclusivity.  They 
sincerely try to get stuff made that they think ought to exist.

[RBW] Re: RH double: spindle length?

[Austin L]

I use a 103mm ird with 42-26, sort of a 1x plus bailout setup. Works well, 
but the front shifting is somewhat dependent on where on the cassette the 
chain is. I like the low q and quasi 1x chainline.

Re: [RBW] Re: Fall Photos 2024

[Greg Lamont]

Thank you! It's a 61. I've been enjoying tinkering, riding, adjusting, 
riding, tinkering some more, riding, and then thinking about more tinkering 
and riding.

[RBW] Perfect new things

[Bill Lindsay]

One of the endlessly endearing things about Rivendell Bicycle Works, to me, 
is that they still from time to time cause new objects to exist that are 
just obvious that they should have existed long ago.  I saw this object in 
prototype phase on Grant's desk, and now it is here and available.  

https://www.rivbike.com/products/nitto-lamp-holder-7

I've got one bike where I use a segment of worn out chainring to serve this 
purpose.  I have another bike where I use an upcycled aluminum caliper 
brake arm.  I'm trying to decide if this is an objective upgrade on those 
two bikes, or if I should just grab one or two of them for the next time 
(and the next).

 Hmmm... I have quite a few extra Nitto rack stays. I think I'll take the BFH 
to one of them to bash the other end flat and then drill a hole.cheers,Andrew

I just wish more front racks had the front and center mounting point of the 
Nitto M1 (version that has that). IMO the superior light mount point

cheers,

 
I did something similar with a short Nitto stay. The rack had an extra 
mounting hole, so I didn't need to add another flat end. I don't have a 
bending jig, though, so the result was ... workmanlike.
