[RBW] Re: Fender Wobble

In spite of how often people do it and seem fine with it, I *really *don't like front loads on Rivs. Even the weight of a porteur rack with no load was enough to make my steering feel sketchy. Did you have the problem before you installed it? On Monday, April 11, 2022 at 10:04:52 PM UTC-7 bunn

Hi Pam! 54.3cm ST x 63cm ETT. Which sounds wacky for me at 5'-7" but Grant designed it for my arthritic wrists to have a really high bar reaching way back. I cheated a bit by eventually replacing the Bosco it was supposed to run for a tall-and-stubby DirtDrop stem and Leah Bars. Oops, sorry, I

Once you have a mixe-ish dropped tube, you won't go back to a horizontal top tube. Just like dyno lights. Great looking bike. What size is it? I bet it's fun to ride. On Saturday, April 2, 2022 at 2:30:02 PM UTC-4 Joe Bernard wrote: > Steel, mixte, this one! I'll own this bicycle as long as

[RBW] Re: Fender Wobble

You might get rid of some fender wobble with a bolt-tightening session at all the mounting points, it's not my experience that SKS fenders move around much. The wobble you feel in turns is concerning and probably not fender related. What's the bags/racks situation on your Ram? Joe Bernard On

[RBW] Fender Wobble

Hey all! I have SKS Fenders on my Ram. I live in L.A., so I rarely need them. Still, there are puddles of gross water, damp mornings, and smatterings of rain, so I really appreciate them when I need them and I leave them on. Now, they do move a bit when riding. I'll look down and see them movi

Hi Taylor — It's a very nice bike, indeed and I understand your rationale for selling. What I mean is that this bike is fully thought out and spec'd out rather than what we understand to be a "stock" Rivendell build. Quills with WI and SON hubs, not Velocity-built wheels with Deore hubs; gold
