Re: [RBW] Re: Rivs on the Great Divide Route?

Zach, wow, hadn't heard about that. But yes, I will have bear spray. I thought of putting it in the bar bag, but that isn't much use to me when I lean the bike on a tree and zip into the woods to answer nature's call or check out a stream or some other point of interest. I think I'll keep it on my

Alexander, I have a 58cm Atlantis from 2006 I believe, basically the exact same frame with the same chain ring scratch. WOuld you be interested in a direct trade? No accidents, dents, etc. Mine has always been a touch too small for me On Sunday, July 17, 2016 at 7:16:49 PM UTC-5, Alexander Ferg

[RBW] WTT: My 58 Atlantis for your 61 Atlantis

Hi friends, I've been riding a 58cm Atlantis for the last two years and it's always felt just oh-so-close to being too small for me. When I visited Riv, they said I should definitely be on a 61cm. Well, last week I had a chance to ride one finally, and it felt much better. So I'd like to try an

Re: [RBW] WTT: My 58 Atlantis for your 61 Atlantis

Any interest? Seems 58cm Atlantis' are in high demand. I'd also entertain an offer to buy the frame/fork out completely, and I'll find a 61cm on my own. On Tuesday, July 19, 2016 at 8:39:16 PM UTC-5, Mark Reimer wrote: > > 91cm-ish and 6' > > On Jul 19,

[RBW] Re: Which RBW Velosophies have worked for you? Which haven't?

Ryan 'from Winnipeg'? Had no idea there were more Winnipeggers on this board, and an owner of multiple Riv's and an XO-1 to boot!? Can only assume we've ridden past each other a few times at some point. For me - larger tires absolutely. Went from 23's to 33 Jack Browns, what a revelation. Bask

Re: [RBW] Gransfor Bruk - need something to actually work on cutting wood.

I have the small forest axe. It's beautifully made and certainly does the job it was made for. It's not large enough for splitting large logs, but great for smaller pieces of wood - maybe up to 2.5-3" across. It's probably too large to make sense for cycling applications, but if I can extrapolat

[RBW] Re: SONdelux or Shutter Precision SV-8 Dynamo Hub?

I have a SONdelux and an eDelux 2 light. I cannot feel any perceptible drag. No difference when riding with the light on (load bearing) vs off (no load). If I lift the wheel off the ground, it spins for ages before the resistance will stop it. In my opinion, tire selection makes a MUCH bigger d

[RBW] Warning to those who keep cameras in handlebar bags!

Yesterday I put my camera, a Nikon Df, into my new Swift Industries Ozette bag on the Atlantis. I was heading to a bonfire out in the country, so I threw a couple cans of beer in there too, and stuffed a few bandana's and spare gloves in to pad the camera and keep everything where it should be.

I will tell you in a day or two after it's truly dried out.. either way, I'll be sending the camera to Nikon for a cleaning. I don't want some internal moisture slowly corroding the components, only to kill it for good mid-shoot and post-warranty. On Wed, Oct 8, 2014 at 4:15 PM, Steve Palincsar w
