OH wait - I think I get it now. What we need is a way to sort THREADS of a singular topic (like this one) by date posted, and list the most recent one first. I'm stumped on that one. On Monday, February 28, 2022 at 8:17:51 AM UTC-5 Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA wrote: > This group seems to wo

"It's a long drive to right field, going deep and this thread is *outta here!*" I get the rationale behind the one-by drive train and certainly the satisfaction of filling your recycling bin with front derailers. And nothing against 'em! If you get by on a one-by that's all right by me. My th

Re: [RBW] New Craigslist/others thread

As rear cassettes get more cogs and chains get narrower, front Derailleur cages also get narrower, this causes rubbing problems to be exacerbated, especially when the chain gets to the small-small or big-big combinations. Fat tires make the problem worse. I would say in this instance the medium s

"I just don't understand what people have against front mechs." A dropped chain if you're lucky, a chain jammed between the chainring and chainstay if you're not. Plus eliminating it gets rid of the need to trim, a thing that always annoyed me. My Riv Custom is 1x, no more front derailers for m

It's one of the clearcoat-over-raw frames Riv did in the later '00s. That gave up on it for exactly the reason you state, the steel starts to rust under the coat and freaks people out. I briefly owned a Bombadil with this and didn't like it (the finish) much, I sold it to listmember Jason. He p
