Re: [RBW] Which Dyno Hub?

I've had good experience with several budget Shimano hubs (never any issues) as well as the Panasonic hub, which I have on a cargo bike that sits outside year-round in rain/snow/heat/humidity. You can get them from Peter White and maybe some other places, too. https://www.peterwhitecycles.com/

Thanks to you both! @lugwork, Is that an old chart? The sizes are not what Riv is currently offering on the Sam. Lance, thanks for the info. Out of curiosity: what's your saddle height (center of BB to top of saddle) in that pic? On Sunday, June 19, 2022 at 11:15:55 AM UTC-5 lwt...@gmail.com w

Hi all, Does anyone have a current model 60cm Sam Hillborne they can measure? I'm looking for effective top tube (c-c) and stand over height with 42ish mm tires. I'm trying to figure out sizing for current model Sams. I believe I'm right on the edge of sizing with a 89cm PBH/78cm saddle heigh
