This weekend I changed to Albatross handlebars on my All-Rounder. If
anyone has any suggestions/hints/advice I would welcome the input.
Many thanks to Keven & Grant at RBW for the quick answers to my e-mail
questions.

Again, it has been almost 10 years, and I am a very happy Riv customer of
long standing, not to mention, probably, providing great annoyance to them.
I'd rather bug Nitto.

Hi,
10-years old! Have you heard about metal fatigue?

9.3K. But it's a Nitto, and I want to hold them to it. I expect that a $15
King would still be whole. And it's the *second* one.
--~--~-~--~~--
10 years would be a pretty long warranty for a $50.00 product. Nitto
being Japanese may just feel it right to stand by the product.
I am not engineer, but to my eyes the King design while perhaps less
elegant is more robust.

I angle mine down a little bit for longer trips. Maybe it is just me,
but it seems you get a bit more grip variety that way. Around town I
leave them straight back for most upright position to get maximum
sight lines in traffic ridings.

looks like you have the tallest/longest technomic (non -dlx) stem on there.

I must disagree with the characterizations of King as #2. I have the King, and
it is by far my favorite cage on all levels: aesthetic, confidence-inspiring,
the way it grips the bottle, the reasonable price.

I have a pair each of the King Iris and the VO Moderniste. The King
is a nice but fairly conventional looking cage, nothing special. The
VO is bright and shiny and has a distinctive and attractive swoop to
it. The King *might* hold a bit more securely on a really rough road,
but the VO takes th
I wrapped the area forward of the brake levers on mine. That's a nice

Looks great! A question, why do you say, "it's a 650B conversion,
which explains the paucity of seatpost showing out of the frame"?
Seat height shouldn't really be affected by wheel size, no?

Not to disparage V-O, but an Andrews King cage is that same price or within
a buck or so and made in Durango by a dude who used to build Fat City bikes
(I think it was Fat anyway). I also think the King Iris was the first
(modern anyway) cage of that design...

Again, could be wrong but the King Iris is the fist cage I recall seeing of
that alternative design: http://www.kingcage.com/Iris.html. Andrews has
modified the design slightly, web page is out of date. Ron welds these up

Iris model:

Rather plain looking (compared to the VO, IMO), and dull finished.
