I don't like hoods that block my vision when I'm trying to scan behind me. I haven't tried it, but I think the Grundens rain hat would not block your vision. If you wear a helmet (and maybe you want to if you are mixing it up with SUV's in the rain) I like this one: https://www.taigaworks.ca/c

I wouldn't use gorilla glue or pressure unless the crack was caused by being hit. Gorilla glue depends on moisture on one side of the wood and dry on the other. You don't have that access to your gluing surface. Plus, gorilla glue (or any polyurethane glue) foams up and makes a mess and turns

Your other Riv's are single/fixed, correct? If so, chainline should be the same I believe for 120/126/130, with 126 & 130 having more spacers on the axle. I think it's 135mm specific SS hubs that may require a different chainline. David Chicago On Sunday, September 13, 2015 at 11:21:46 AM UTC-
