[RBW] Ball In Socket Seat Tube Lug

I am curious to see what other's think of the new ball-in-socket seat tube lug that has now found its way on to all Riv bikes. I don't like it. I don't know why or why not. I hate to be critical of our good brothers and sisters at Riv. I just love the old school lugs. I would be interested

Hey Brendon! I reiterate the joy of others that you are fine and your bike may be too. A few thoughts: 1. How in the world did you see that in the field? I'd have totally missed it. Of course I'm not the most observant person and have missed really obvious things for days being a knucklehead.

Re: [RBW] Break-away Fender Safety Options

Andrew, I'm using a set of PDW stay ends on my VO fenders. They've held up great over the years. I set the screws in with loctite blue and was careful not to overtighten them. I thought I wouldn't like the way they look but honestly they just disappear into the background. Anton velolumino.co

Re: [RBW] Break-away Fender Safety Options

I've used the PDW's in the past and they're pretty good, maybe a skosh over-priced. My only qualm with them is the tiny little setting screws used on their safety tabs to hold the stays in place. They're pretty easy to strip, but if you have some spare dual-pivot calliper brakes, you can use th

"Brakeset" refers to 1 pair of brakes for 1 wheel. Each package has one pair of brakes, so for a complete bike, you'd need 2 brakesets--1 front, 1 rear. On Jul 1, 2020, at 12:40 PM, Raymond Henderson wrote: > Does 1 brakeset mean brakes for the front and rear wheel? If so, I will take > o

Re: [RBW] Break-away Fender Safety Options

The "safety" tabs on my SKS plastic fenders worked loose (eventually, often) from rough roads/trails, which caused me far greater safety concern than the sticks that never went jamming in. Though with the brittle pine around here, the sticks easily snap, so a green or hearty wood might well hav

That's useful information; thanks. But does anyone know of options for 6.5MM stays? -- the diameter of those on my Kelpies? I know that Jan pooh poohs the danger of jamming with properly set up metal fenders, even off road, but if I can find a workable QR option, I'd very probably use it. On Wed,

Hi, I’ve built and repaired many steel frames. I wouldn’t be concerned about the frame. It will not suddenly fail. The down tube may not have been perfectly straight to begin with. Generally, when down tubes fail from a head on crash, they buckle right below the lug. That tiny amount of distort
