I'd just use the Shimano 14-34 myself :) OR Make your own combination using the Shimano 14-34 and the 13-28. Here's how ... http://blog.harriscyclery.com/customizing-shimano-7-speed-freewheels/ You should be able to make a 14 16 18 21 24 28 34 FW using the 14-34 body. With your 50t big ring

Liesl: You might have just that fetching look in a new striped wool top they have! (I ordered one after getting the RBW email) and will report on it after trying it on. yes, RBW clothes cost more than some other places, but they've been good on the whole. Wore the 2d generation seersucker ri

[RBW] Re: ISO: 32t or 34t 7 speed freewheel. Any good options?

I'd get the Shimano Mega Range 14-34. Scandalously cheap yes, but it's from a reliable brand, and will provide a useful set of ratios for touring. If it's junk then you're only out a few bucks. Online reviews seem to favor it. I'd avoid the SunRace and IRD, they sound overpriced based on reviews

I hope it is apparent that my post was focused on WTB, and only for products Riv currently sells. As I said, if you already own/used the product and want to sell it, more power to you *and* the buyer; I've bought and sold many Rivvy things this way. In case that wasn't clear.. Joe "let me be c

Back to Joe's original post...I have two, well actually three but the third one you already know, stories to tell. First story: After my big Riv Chica Warrior Caper when I rode down the bike thief (for newcomers to the list, search the archives), the whole Riv team sent me a card that ever

Please let's back off the V-O comments. Grant has addressed this more than a few times. There's no "there" there in that discussion. It's hard to fault someone who has a decent piece of gear that they will no longer use, or something they tried out (handlebars, of late, come to mind here) t

I've had good luck with IRD freewheels, but it seems to me that they are somewhat cheaper than $56 apiece. --Eric N www.CampyOnly.com CampyOnlyGuy.blogspot.com Twitter: @CampyOnlyGuy > On Jan 29, 2014, at 11:56 AM, Tim Gavin > wrote: > > Ladies and gents- > > I'm looking for a new freewheel.
