Re: [RBW] Super-fun Riv-Video and slick Saddlesack upgrade

Good call on the anti-sway idea. I thread an Irish strap through the bottom of my Large Saddlesack to secure it to the rack , but it's finicky. I like this idea better. Think I'll try it. Aaron Young The Dalles, OR On Saturday, December 13, 2014, James Warren wrote: > > I

Weird, the derailleur pictures are on a red bike; not a School Bus Yellow one. But I think the most glaring thing (at least if it were on this list, which it's not) is the term "rocking". : ) Aaron "Rocking some bitchin' barend shifters" Young The Dalles, OR On Mon, Dec 15, 2014 at 4:17 PM, Dou

Re: [RBW] shimano cx-70 canti question

g these brakes speak to how well they work? Usually, if Riv is selling something I just trust that it will work well enough. I'm expecting the same from these CX-70's but I read an Amazon review saying skip 'em and go for the cheaper Tektro 720's. Can anyone weigh in? Thanks. A

Re: [RBW] Re: shimano cx-70 canti question

Shoji and Kurt - which size spacer did you use on your Hunqas? I'm putting these on my Atlantis right now, but the chart on the directions sheet doesn't extrapolate out far enough. It seems like the mid-sized ones would be best. Thanks, Aaron On Fri Dec 26 2014 at 10:02:02 AM Kurt Manley wrote

Re: [RBW] Re: shimano cx-70 canti question

Wow, that is a serious case of dorkery. You may want to get that checked. :) Thanks for the info. I'll go with the mediums and feel it out. Changing the spacers later on if need be won't be too big of a job any way. Thanks, Aaron On Sat Jan 03 2015 at 3:03:48 PM Tom Harrop wrote: > Hi Aaro

Re: [RBW] Re: shimano cx-70 canti question

(see this here on the Tektro 720's: http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/brc15153.htm). This design element is what allows the CX-70's to open so widely. At least that's what it looks like to me. -Aaron Young The Dalles, OR On Sun Jan 04 2015 at 8:02:31 AM Paul Brodek

serial numbers? Did they stamp them somewhere else? This Atlantis is an early one; from 1999 based on what the original owner told me when I bought it from him. Thanks, Aaron Young The Dalles, OR -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Own

Sorry I'm a bit late to the discussion. Happy for you that you decided on the Pauls with Mark's help. I'm sure they will be great. For posterity's sake I can add a bit to the conversation because I do have experience with the DC750's on a Trek 400 that I converted to 650b, which in many ways is
