Looks like Riv updated the store page with a full description of the
production version of the Gallop.
They cover everything, from the top tube and brake changes, tubing, sizing
with various bars and whether you should buy one for your girlfriend ha!
I always enjoy reading the descriptions, and i
Just curious if anyone has real opinions on the actually functionality of
Moon Units vs normal stock ones. My instinct is telling me that it's a $60
shiny thing that will make adjustment & setup a tiny bit easier. Also it
seems it gives the straddle cable a different yoke shape so that was my

They are a lot easier to set up -- it's a lot easier to tighten the cable
with the fixed bolt. They're wider than most carriers, which translates
into a bit more leverage (or mechanical advantage) , which "might" be good
with certain aero brake levers (making sure you have enough lever pull),
I will never find it again but I read somewhere that Paul Price said the

I like moon units. I’ve got a set of green ones on my Quickbeam. They

They are easy to manage, because you can tighten the cable bolts withou

Yes, a bit easier to set up because you tighten the cable with an allen
wrench, a little easier to snug up the cable initially. I like the curve
action on the straddle cable, it does not bind on the cable groove like
what happens, sometimes, with the traditional Dia Compe straddle hanger.
Plus,

Does the curve in the Moon Unit offer a more graceful curve to the straddle
cable? If so, is there a little bit less slack in the system and a
slightly better feel at the lever? For $40-60, I decided not to find out!
Maybe someday I'll try it.

Well written, Caroline! While my Rivs rarely see any city, you must be
correct that any Riv is just as at home on city streets as on mountain
trails. Now, I do think it would be wonderful to see a photo of your Riv
loaded with a Craig's List purchase or locked to a Brooklyn parking sign.
Cheers
