continues to make gorgeous bikes of course. But I think the lack of disc

When Riv started, 26" for All Rounder was THE way to go. It was almost the only way to get good tires with 2" width. So like with the 26" Bridgestone XO's, I always considered the supreme All-Rounders as synonymous with 26" wheels. When Riv started getting more bikes built in the later 90's, they i

Good points, Garth.
One of our heroes (some of us here anyway), Jobst Brandt, likely pedaled
hundred and hundreds of miles on gravel wearing tubulars and Campy
modulators rather than brakes...as did thousands of hardy TdF riders BITD.

Funny - to me, the abilty to swap wheel sizes has ALWAYS been the best selling
point of disk brakes, but that might be because im primarily a mountain biker.
That said, i admittedly swap less than i could, if even at all. I prefer my
fat 26" front wheel to the 29er front wheel so much in gener
I haven't owned a riv in 5 years. The last one I had was a Bleriot. I
really preferred the low-trail front end geometry, and Bleriot was too
stout and didn't have enough tire clearance. I have 5 bikes, and might trim
down to 3 or 4 one day. All of them use rim brakes and 650b wheels. 42mm
tires
While I understand the surface appeal of swapping out wheels for
wildly different tires, I wonder though, what about the handling with such
varying sets ? For example, I ask myself.. would I want to ride my
Bomba with really fat tires and road tires ? No. And would I want to

There was a long thread on the 650B group about the continued
availability of rim brake 650B, what with the popularity of "27.5"

they will remain available".
