Hi.Basically doing what I tried early on with soap&water&suds instead of alcohol. Syringes will deliver soap and water. Worth a 10min try if I’m ever down this path again.After that, if no good progress… destruction!!Doug, I’ll give it a shot next time! Thanks!Yours,Thomas Lynn SkeanOn Nov 24, 2024
Howdy folks.
I read thru this whole thing, and to my surprise nobody mentioned what I
would do. I looked up the grips on RBW.com, and they seem to be some kind
of rubbery stuff? Anyway, every time I wanted to remove grips that
wouldn’t come off just from pulling toward the end of the bar with my
I have a very nearly complete collection of BQ going back to the early
issues. I happened to work with a former editor at BQ and I think he gave
up cycling after PBP... anyway part of his purge was his collection and I
got them all for free!

But he is still funny. And to be funny after 17 years of doing the same old
thing means that he has something; that something IMO is intelligence; he’s
smart.
Long may he wave; or something like that.

42/19 = 2.21 X 26.6 (per JimG; the numbers from that site pretty closely
match my empirical measurements) = 58.8 gear inches.
I’m familiar enough with my own drivetrains to know how a 175 mm crank
compares to a 170 with the same ring/cog X wheel diameter; the empirical
upshot is a bit less than 1
Yes, doing it again is what the Snob always does. Again, and again, and
again. He's been doing it again for decades. It's called the same old
shtik.

I also noticed the big difference on steering when I went from my previous
low trail bike (Soma Grand Rando) to my first Riv (Hillborne) and 'carving'
is exactly how I perceived it too! Not as immediately responsive but I much
prefer it overall. Takes a small adjustment period.
Bike looks great
IIRC it’s 42x19 (gain ratio ~2.2), running 700/42mm.
Previously on my PolyValent, I was running 42x17 (~2.5 gain ratio) with
650/48.

as a fan of eric's video on youtubes, may i propose a (long) series of
video reading each issue as a retrospective on today, i would imagine there
were some prescient topics for example the rise of 'big' tires, gravel

Yes, a pretty and, more important, what looks like a very efficiently and
comfortably rideable build.
What is the gearing — ie, what size ring and how many teeth on each cog?

Columbus’ tube shaping (more than just ovals) is innovative, even if that’s
somewhat an aesthetic as much as technical motivator. Hard to know how much
non-oval tube shaping improves characteristics versus oval/squished.
Colnago isn’t ashamed to admit that aesthetics are an impor
