Re: [RBW] Russ Roca/Path Less Pedaled reflects on his Sam Hillborne

Nice video. I like Russ's thing. It took me a while to come around to him. For a while I consciously avoided it because of click bait titles (I'm paraphrasing) like "Crust Vs Rivendell:Ultimate Face-off" & "Is the Sam Hillborne still relevant in 2013". I'm sure a good bit of people on this page

Unfortunately, the clickbait isn’t usually by choice for most Youtubers. In order to run a successful YouTube channel, you have to play the recommendation engine and that means clickbait titles, saying “like and subscribe” in your videos and having silly thumbnails for your video, usually of the ho

I have been wondering all week what G.A.S. meant, and ran across it on the Path Less Pedalled Sam thread - gear acquisition syndrome. I first came across the idea in Mr Money Mustache’s blog where he calls it the Purchase Justification Machine. I have 5 Rivendells now, and I am trying to quell

That is a very sporty looking Hilsen. Slammed stem, 1x drivetrain. Modern black bits here and there. I normally cringe at the Thomson bent-back models but it works on this build. I like it. Is it a 61? Bill Lindsay El Cerrito, CA On Saturday, September 16, 2023 at 5:22:41 AM UTC-7 josh.yo.

Mark, OUCH!!! Your story puts an exclamation point on the issue.The offending knobby in my case is a very low profile Conti Speed Max, still... I have ample clearance for at least a 44mm slick. My next move will probably be the RH Snoqualmie Pass tires. I would ditch the fenders and stuff

I bought up a bunch of the PDW release guys, in black and silver, so there's never even a delay when I'm doing a fender install. Without them on-hand, I'd probably say "oh, I'll get to that later" and karma would get me right in that moment. Bill Lindsay El Cerrito, CA On Friday, September

Thanks, Bill! I'm usually on the fence in regards to the bent-back Thomson as well. It seems to work on some bikes and not on others. I think its working on my Homer...? When I got my Homer I wanted to build a Rivendell that wasn't like most other Rivendells. The look is a little divisive I gu
