I use a 103mm ird with 42-26, sort of a 1x plus bailout setup. Works well, but the front shifting is somewhat dependent on where on the cassette the chain is. I like the low q and quasi 1x chainline. Austin On Tuesday, December 3, 2024 at 6:03:20 PM UTC-8 isp...@gmail.com wrote: > For a Rene H

I imagine this would work mounted mid-way on the support stay like the "bent plate" style lamp holder too using a Nitto 'campee bolt', much more elegant than the plate version. I'll certainly add a couple to cart next time I'm putting an order in anyway if they're in stock! On Thursday, 5 Dece

I believe I use a 109/110 on my Hillborne with the RH cranks in 42-26 configuration, I would have to go longer if I ran larger rings than that because the 26 is about 1mm from the chainstay - but of course the Hillborne is a bit thicker in this region than more roadish bikes. You might find wit

I recall seeing these on Blue Lug's site a while back. It seemed to suggest that this was a Blue Lug / Nitto collab idea, but maybe Riv also had a hand in it. Grant has said it before, but quite often, Blue Lug does Rivendell even better than Rivendell does. Brian Lex KY -- You received this

Generally, when Riv talks Nitto into making stuff they encourage Nitto to sell that stuff to everyone. Generally, Riv is not into exclusivity. They sincerely try to get stuff made that they think ought to exist. BL in EC On Thursday, December 5, 2024 at 6:12:29 AM UTC-8 DavidP wrote: > I st
