Hey all, just thought I'd mention that more bolts doesn't necessarily equal more clamping force. Clamping force is generally proportional to the lowest preloaded bolt in the system. More bolts really only help to even spread the force, not magnify the clamping force (The main reason to use multi

I guess it's different strokes for different folks. What always drew me to Grant's designs ever since the Bridgestone days has been the ride quality. (My 1993 Bridgestone RB-1 had eyelets for fenders, but no rack mounts --- as a saddlebag user I didn't care) Compared to the Bridgestone RB-1, oth

I have always been drawn to practical bikes. In fact, way back in the beginning of Rivendell, it was the marketing based on these bikes being practical that drew me in and kept me a fan despite not owning one. In the last few years, I have been realizing how much I appreciate beauty. I don't r
