Thanks, Harry, and all who have responded -- I pulled the trigger on a pair of
the Swift Mini Stack Panniers last night in waxed canvas. Looking forward to
using them. What I like about them vs. the V-Brand set sold by RBW
(Riv-content
for the thread) is that they are not joined together as
I wore out the pivot assembly on an XTR M95x. The upper pully was
grinding on the cassette no matter what I did. $25 and 20 minutes
later, the new pivot spring brought it back to life.

The fenders have been a little bit of a thorn in our side; we are
waiting for the VO 650b 52mm Zepplins – the Berthouds are also out of
stock.
The kickstand is probably our favorite: the adjustable Pletscher
single leg.
Thanks for the complements,

After reading this again I realize I am coming off as a shill for
Nashbar, sorry not my intent. I'd rather buy from RWB and I am glad
they are including a "econo" derailleur option.

Would you put a tire that measures up at 44-46mm in a 50mm (2")
chainstay? This leaves approx. 3mm clearance a side. Is this too
close? My bike mechanic thinks so. I'm thinking of putting Big Apples
on my old MB-6 and the Apples measure up at 44mm according to the Riv
site. Would love to try the fa
The 44.45mm that Riv shows is for that specific rim. Also, we don't
know the if that measurement is new, or a well broken in tire, as they
they do get wider as opposed to brand new.
3mm each side is really close. I've seen some do it of course. Make
sure you have really well built wheels that sta
Currently you can get 8 speed chains and cassettes pretty cheap
through a couple of sources. I think I'll stock up. But first, a bike
ride on this beautiful fall day, the last before the rain begins.

Anyone know any details about the new Bomb with the diagonal tube that
runs all the way to the rear stays. Deciding to hold out for one or
leap for an Atlantis or Hunq soon.

I've had time to let this settle in my brain, as well as a chance to
actually see it in person. In fact, this is the same color as my
Bombadil, and component-wise it's close, so it offers a very fair
visual compariso

The HG50 are black, the HG70 silver. That's a big (cosmetic) difference
right there, and it matters a lot to some people. Functionally, I'm not
so sure. Personall

There's no right answer to any aesthetic question, I suppose, but as the owner
of a twin-TT Bombadil myself which is in the rebuild process, I'm thinking
seriously of suspending that process and selling my frame in favor of the new
design, which I LOVE. I assume that the design has been tweaked
No need to apologize Bobby.. you're just being honest.
I prefer the Bombadil the way it is too. I didn't buy it for it's
looks. I'm surely in the minority here in not caring about all the
pretty stuff on Riv bikes. The ride is what matters to me. The water
bottle setup with the diagonal tube

Steve, your assertion (sadly accurate as it may be) that "everybody's
moving to 10 speed or higher" only strengthens my resolve to never
give in to this madness, and not only will they be prying my dead
fingers off my 7-speed freewheel when they bury me, I'd like my

I, on the other hand, never considered a Bombadil until I saw the new diagonal
one. I'm considering selling the Atlantis to make room.

up.
Mounted once and never used. It's been sitting in the closet waiting
