**Cross-posted from FB Riv Page** Hello All. Looking for a little expertise / advice on my Riv. I was in a collision on my Appaloosa last week. A group of kids on bikes deliberately rammed into me on a multi-use trail here in Napa. My handlebars took the brunt of the initial impact, but me and

Some context: put a new wheel on my Appaloosa a few days ago. New wheel, all other parts of the drivetrain the same. A few minutes into the first ride around the block, I heard a ping from the rear of the drivetrain. Stopped to see if the chain was off. Nope. Got on and didn't hear it aga

Quick question for everyone. I have a nice XT derailer that I'm swapping over to one of my bikes, but am having a problem with squeaking coming from the upper pulley. I love the derailer, but actually removed it from another bike because the squeaking was driving me nuts. I tried everything

2020-08-29 Thread Litho
It would look lovely with either, but my vote would be for the orange on the sage green. I'm in the process of setting up the exact opposite color scheme on my newly orange Appaloosa. I've picked up lime green bar tape and am playing around with colored shellac to get the right sage-ish color.

I've been loving the Vine Trail for my less adventurous rides. The loop up to Yountville and around Yount Mill road has been my standard ride for the past few months. Having ridden in the valley for decades, I can say that I absolutely hate riding on the roads, particularly with all of the tour
