2020-02-07 Thread Justin Kennedy (Brooklyn, NY)
I have a Zefal HPX-3 for my 60cm and it would probably work for you too as it's a touch on the small side. But I would call Riv and ask which size you need before ordering anything. On Friday, February 7, 2020 at 2:07:42 AM UTC-5, Adam wrote: > > What size works well? Thanks! -- You received t

Bob, Not sure how wide they go in 650b size, but I've been running 700x50mm Panaracer Gravel King SKs on my Chev for the last 8 months commuting ~15 miles daily in NYC (mostly Brookyn with lots of glass and other city detritus). I've only had one flat and it was a weird phantom flat (not punct

I'll second the rack-mounted Thule Yepp Maxi. (don't get the seat tube-mounted version) Get a Nitto Big Rear Rack to put it on and you're good to go. On Thursday, February 13, 2020 at 7:33:56 PM UTC-5, Al

Does it strike anyone as odd that they botched two fairly minor but important details on a custom frame job? and put a chip in the paint? i guess that's the Riv way ;-) and yeah, looks like it's sold. that's a relief i'm sure. On Thursday, February 27, 2020 at 5:31:38 PM UTC-5, jeffrey kane wr

Riv had long chains for sale on the site but it appears they're sold out. This one mentions 130 links. I think I have 128 link-chain of my 60cm Chev (two spliced together) but only 8 speed rear derailer, not 9, and no front derail

There's a big green one (64cm) on the site now at a small discount. Otherwise, I would guess summer or fall. https://www.rivbike.com/collections/web-special-framesets-and-bicycles/products/leap-year-special-64cm-clem-l-complete On Saturday, February 29, 2020 at 6:13:08 PM UTC-5, DHans wrote:

Hi everybody, I'm looking for a 1 1/8" threadless stem w/ 25.4mm clamp, preferably some length (90-120mm), and some rise/drop angle. Condition isn't terribly important as it's going on a beater Xtracycle conversion bike I keep on the street for transporting the kid around. Would also solicit r

I used that combo for years before purchasing a Riv Nitto Basket Rack. Highly recommend it. It's hard to overload it considering the space constraints of the medium wald. On Sunday, March 15, 2020 at 5:21:04 PM UTC-4, Eric G@rs wrote: > > I’m looking to outfit my Homer with a front basket rathe

I have a handful of Riv gift cards from past holidays and birthdays that I've been wanting to use. Now doesn't seem like the best time, though, given the current financial and shelter-in-place circumstances. What's most helpful for the company right? Placing an order, holding onto the cards, bu

I would definitely second the "silky smooth and dreamy" sentiment especially with some big cushy low-psi tires. On Saturday, March 28, 2020 at 10:23:57 AM UTC-4, Tirebiter ATX wrote: > > Hello, > > Nice feedback. Can any owners attest to the ride quality of the Cheviot? > I’ve heard it describ
