I blew my first wire-bead Pasella off a MA-2 rim...twice. The first
time I heard a boom from the garage, and found a slime mess all over
the back of my LHT. I mentally kicked myself for a sloppy mount job,
cleaned it up and remounted carefully checking around both beads that
the tube was interior.
I used Riv's shim and put some nice scratches on the bar sleeve. How
do you install said sleeve without scratching your bars?

the longflap and has the beauty of being Rivendellish
in that it's been around for ages and works really well.

Yes sir. Custom paint by Rivendell. A baby blue nod to every pickup my
Granddad ever owned. (After they started making pickups in colors
other than black.)

Well, we'll see about that! I'm going to concentrate on completing
200k this spring for my next endeavor.
I did see an article with an aside about Len Haldeman riding his
custom Riv with a similar setup as a Quickbeam on a PBP. He uses cogs
rather than chainwheels.

The long flap all the way out on the Carradice could be the
difference. The new Riv bag does appear very capacious indeed. I had a

That's a nice trail you guys have down there. I noticed a sign in one

I have a Waterford AAH from early 07. It does have dimples. I currently run
32mm tires. There is clearance for 40. 42 might be a little tight. My rear
spacing is set at 130mm. This would (I think) narrow the clearance slightly
from the standard.

Thanks, Charles. My Waterford AHH has 135 rear spacing, but no dimples
in the chainstays (not "dimples" exactly, I guess). Won't fit a 40mm
tire (that measures 40mm). This may have to remain one of life's
little mysteries. And it doesn't matter that much, because with the
