I get teased from some of my fellow club members. Out of town, especially in
the Bay Area or Sonoma Co., I always get compliments. Many folks think it is
an old bike, but many will ask questions and when I tell them about
Rivendell, they are very complimentary. My 59cm Roadeo is the best bike I

The silver pin retains the shoe into the holder. Just pull it
straight up. I re-used the original; it doesn't get any load. A
buddy lost one while we were on tour & just replaced with a piece of a
paper clip. It's not anything high tech.

Yes, replacing v-type inserts involves pulling that silver pin. Your new
inserts should come with new pins, also. Keep the extras because they tend

Jason:
My Tektro 720s came with black pads that wore out in a couple of
years. I replaced them with Kool Stop salmons. I just bought the
pads & slid them into the Tektro holders, perfect fit. These are the
long ones that extend way back into the fork. 40 mm front tire needs
a bit of a squeeze

I measured a 50 mm Schwalbe Marathon Supreme at 46 mm actual, mounted
on a Mavic A 719 rim, at 50 psi. The 40 mm version of the same tire
measure 40 mm on the same rim. These are both black wall with the
