If you are so mechanically inclined to swap threaded axles you caould always buy a silver 130mm bub like the RS400(Tiagra road) and swap out a longer axle and add the spacer needed . On Tuesday, November 19, 2024 at 6:55:01 AM UTC-5 okeeffe...@gmail.com wrote: > Hi, > Thanks for the advice

All I know is that lower crossbars are great for picking up your bike, thus the liftatube moniker. It also provides extra triangulation for the bottom bracket, which is nice for those of us with a history of killing bottom brackets. But significant?, I’d say no. Get a Rosco. -Kai On Monday, Nov

Thanks, everyone! These are some awesome ideas. I'm also wondering if a few strips of strategically wrapped newbaums might be a fun way to address this. The author of last week's newsletter (Will?) mentioned he just bought a Clem and is going to add a rear dynamo. Maybe I'll ask him as well. I'l

I'm a bit surprised that Riv hasn't incorporated the lift tube into any production models outside the Rosco series. Probably due to FD / ST-mounted bottle interferences, which is fair, along with some added cost. I kinda wish the Clem would adopt the Mountain Mixte frame design with the lift tu
