Re: [RBW] What do Rivendell Riders use for tandems?

http://www.bikefriday.com/bicycles/tandem/322 I have a Bike Friday "Family Tandem." It is a twenty inch wheel bike, and the small wheels lets you have a lot of flexibility -- It works as well with two adults as it does with very little kids in back -- and without the clamp on kid tandem crank**

[RBW] Re: Question for modern geometry race bike only riders who later went to Rivendells.

another data point: My two main bikes, a 59 cm '89 steel road race bike (made in Philly by Harry Havnoonian), and a 60 cm '98 Rivendell Road. I would get a tired back after 20 - 30 mile rides on the Riv, but still felt super relaxed after similar rides on the HH. Both bikes had more or less t

Re: [RBW] Horizontal Drop outs??? was: Bombadil v. 2.0 and new Fatty Rumpkins

Oops, I see that Jim has said why verticals are considered better for geared bikes. But I guess I'd trade those advantages for the ability to change over to a single cog or internal gear hub without using a tensioner. (BTW, Jim, I am one of your "followers" -- not sure how that happened, but I

Re: [RBW] Horizontal Drop outs??? was: Bombadil v. 2.0 and new Fatty Rumpkins

I should have pointed out first that I love the Black Bomba, and the two-pulley tensioner does look nice, (even if it does resemble a derailleur... :>}) But horizontal dropouts were part of the early Rivendell canon. Vertical dropouts were seen as less flexible. Say, for example, you wanted t

[RBW] Re: Bombadil v. 2.0 and new Fatty Rumpkins

This leads me to ask a question I've had for a while: What ever happened to the early Riv devotion to horizontal dropouts? I guess I'd prefer I nice long dropout to either of these mentioned options! On Monday, March 18, 2013 11:35:53 PM UTC-4, Jim Thill - Hiawatha Cyclery wrote: > > I'll tak

Thanks for the compliments! The big ring is a 44, so a 44x26 double (both chainrings are from TA), and the 6 speed cassette is 13-14-16-18-21-24. The 44x13 is a surprisingly big gear, especially with the larger tires, and I find I can hang in a fast group just fine, 'cause I like to spin. I j

You could try the Montclair Bikery. They've been around for many years, in fact, I worked in the shop in 1973-74. I'm pretty sure they know what they're doing, fit-wise, though they may have a racer bias. Jonathan Poor -- You received this message because you are subscribe
