Hey Bryan, Beautiful build! What is that back rack you have on there under the saddlebag? John On Friday, October 3, 2014 5:33:03 PM UTC-7, comveo wrote: > > Hey all, > > > So after a couple of weeks of waiting for parts to finish up the build, > the heart of the beast is finally beating

I just hope this is a success for Riv. I hope they attract more attention, more customers, and pull in more of the Almighty Dollar. I hope the Sam returns, because I want one. I hope Riv sticks around in case I smash my Hunq and need a new one. (Lord, please protect me from texting drivers, ga

[RBW] Re: final test: help size up a hunq

I have a 54cm Hunqapillar w/ albatross bars. I'm 5' 10" and my PBH is 85cm. I've been riding 50mm and 55mm tires everywhere and I couldn't be happier except that I miss having brakes at my fingertips when my hands are forward on the bars. Cheers, John On Monday, September 8, 2014 11:56:44 AM

[RBW] Re: Why does my silver shifter become loose?

Hi everyone, It seems to me the original poster, grrlyrida, just needed a helpful, "Remember, you will need to check and maybe tighten your shifters on a (regular basis or every 50 miles or once a week or...and this is how you do it yourself:..." :) I think what may have been missed

[RBW] Re: The Rivendell Bike Weight Thread

I climbed on the bathroom scale with my Hunqapillar and the scale said 47lbs (minus the rider)! So I emptied my saddle sack onto the kitchen scale and the contents came to 5lbs (maybe I don't need so many Irish straps?), and I would guess the medium saddlesack is about 3-4lbs, since the the med

[RBW] Re: HAR!!

Thank you Bill, I came to the same conclusion, but not being an engineer, I thought I must have figured something wrong. I'll bet there's a typo or mistranslation in there somewhere between the Japanese and English versions of the instructions. I think I'll be going with a longer M5 bolt, lock

[RBW] Re: HAR!!

I received mine this morning. It's a beautiful rack (pair of racks?). The torque specifications for the M5 bolts have me puzzled though. I don't understand the kgfcm/lbfft even after converting to Nm's. If anyone can explain this to me I would greatly appreciate it: *Bolt Torque Specifications

[RBW] Re: HAR!!

Does anyone remember what Riv said was the weight limit for these, I can't find that BLUG entry. Or was it posted in an email? Thanks, John Phillips On Thursday, July 3, 2014 11:32:33 AM UTC-7, Peter M wrote: > > http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/rmf2.htm > -- You received this message beca

[RBW] Soma's Tanaka Decaleurs???

Hi, Has anyone used a Tanaka decaleur? Know anyone who has? It looks pretty easy to mount and rather adjustable: http://store.somafab.com/tadeforth11.html I would just like a little more info than what I could see on the Soma website before I pull the trigger & buy one. Thanks much, John

Very elegant solution! As you said, "Maavalus!" I hope you don't mind is I order my own set in a different wood, but nothing as "Maavalus" as your own. Cheers, John On Saturday, April 26, 2014 2:27:14 PM UTC-7, Deacon Patrick wrote: > > Here is the fender solution I worked out with Co
