Re: [RBW] Re: The Rivendell Bike Weight Thread

The way to start is to wheel your bike into the store with an air of owning the place. If someone questions you, you must assume an air of injured and very superior dignity. Note: if you get away with it for a year or so, then, when someone questions you, you can say, "Well! I've been wheeling it

Re: [RBW] Re: The Rivendell Bike Weight Thread

It was whatever Rivendell installed when they built it; probably a Pletscher. It gets pretty windy here in Iowa, and I've learned to lay my bikes on the ground instead of using kickstands or leaning them against objects. Our Powderkeg sounds like scaffolding falling over when a big gust of wind

Re: [RBW] Re: The Rivendell Bike Weight Thread

I entirely agree; the best stand for heavy rear loads, even rather assymetrical ones, was a $18 Greenfield dropout mount one. Problem is, this is a Dahon folder, and if you clutter up the left rear dropout area with one of those stands, it interferes with folding. I think I will remove the bb-mount

Re: [RBW] Re: The Rivendell Bike Weight Thread

I'm trying to distinguish frame flex from faster riding. For me, I'm not sure that a Roadeo and Roadini built to the same weight would ride any faster. Of course, I feel a dramatic difference when I go from my 35 lb racked and bagged up Hilsen to my 22 lb Roadeo, but I doubt that much of that is

Re: [RBW] Re: The Rivendell Bike Weight Thread

26.5 lb is not bad at all for such a build. My custom 26" wheel fixie, with dynamo lighting, fenders, racks, is probably 1 1/2 lb lighter, and that's with a Dingle fixed drivetrain in place of a 3X9. * I removed the kickstand because I was tired of the bike falling over all of the time.* Now that

Re: [RBW] Re: The Rivendell Bike Weight Thread

I'm no lightweight at ~150, but none of the Rivs I've owned have flexed for me except the A Homer Hilsen loaded with about 30 lbs of groceries (54 cm frame). This includes the Roadeo/Ram/AHH/Cheviot/Custom. Toshi On Sat, Nov 3, 2018 at 9:43 AM Lum Gim Fong wrote: > Probly but i think Its not

Re: [RBW] Re: The Rivendell Bike Weight Thread

I'd guess that the principal reasons for the difference are cost and a more general all-rounder use for the Roadini; the Roadeo is a high-end road bike aimed at the club rider as an alternative to good if not top quality carbon fiber frames -- heck, as an alternative to 15K carbon fiber frames, if

Lum Glad to hear they we OS. The 8-5-8 OS is same rigidity as 10-7-10 STD or like Columbus Tenax tubing. The 6-4-6 OS is like 8-6-8 STD. So a 0.1 mm wall decrease helps with the planning. Just be careful of denting on the DT, J Heine claims walls of < 0.5mm tend to dent, especially the DT.
