I think I paid around 125 per tires, ouch! Canadian dollar contributes to that though.. https://www.flickr.com/photos/theworldisours/1739877"; title="Untitled by Mark Reimer, on Flickr">https://c4.staticflickr.com/8/7691/1739877_be3dab1444_k.jpg"; width="2048&

Re: [RBW] Re: Thunder Burt Wisdom...

Mike, I have the 2.25" tires in my 58cm Atlantis. Been there about a month. They are AWESOME. They roll way way faster than Rock N Roads or WTB 2.1 Nano's, the only two tires I've used in my Atlantis so far. I only wish I would have found them for as cheap as listed here. I think I paid arou

Re: [RBW] Re: Thunder Burt Wisdom...

Deacon, how much did they expand? I wish I would have measured mine when I installed them. They are tight in my Atlantis. I've ground to a halt once when I hit some wet mud already. Really pushing the limits of my frame with these :) On Fri, May 8, 2015 at 10:37 AM, Deacon Patrick wrote: > I

Re: [RBW] Re: Thunder Burt Wisdom...

I would be surprised if the 2.25's didn't fit, I've got room to spare in my Atlantis, mounted to Dyad rims. I went for a 100km gravel ride on them on the weekend. I felt a bit sluggish, thought it was the legs, just one of those days. When I got home I realized I had been running them at around

In layman's terms, 4.5 lbs is a six pack of beer. I've definitely put more weight than that on my Mark's Rack though. Sometimes six just isn't enough. On Tue, May 12, 2015 at 9:48 AM, Lungimsam wrote: > In the interest of safety, note that a Mark's rack is weight restricted to > 4.5 lbs., I thin

Re: [RBW] Re: Thunder Burt Wisdom...

Just finished a 7 day gravel tour, including the Oregon outback. Tires are shredded. My buddy graham had two rear blowouts and a dime sized piece of tire in the middle tear out. I have some big slashes halfway through the tread and the knobs are showing signs of tearing. These tires roll so nice

[RBW] Re: Oregon Outback

That was me! Yes, I did it on the Atlantis. It was excellent. I snapped my derailleur in half at the bottom of the descent out after Prineville, single speeded it 70km until a nice fellow sold me the derailleur off his bike after calling it a day. I was looking for other Riv's, didn't see any!

Re: [RBW] Re: Oregon Outback

Love the photos!! It's so cool to see them because many of the sections you rode in the daylight I was passing through at night. We rode 7am to midnight the last two days, so the climb after prineville was dark, and everything after the rollers leading toward the gorge was in the dark. Looks like I

Re: [RBW] Re: Oregon Outback

I hope to write a proper report this weekend, but if you want to see a few more photos (including the Atlantis with the destroyed derailleur) I've uploaded a lot of stuff to my Flickr page. Keep in mind, this includes riding to the start line from Seattle, so the total ride was 1,150km in 7 days,

[RBW] Re: Elephant National Park Explorer

There were a ton of the NFE on the Oregon Outback and I have to admit I was envious. Many were setup just like I had my Atlantis - front panniers, rando boxy bag, and a saddle bag. They can fit 2.35 knobbies, or 42 slicks with fenders. On the wet descents with the loaded bike, I definitely wante

[RBW] Re: replacement for an Irish strap?

Yup. Irish Straps are made by Arno. They are available everywhere. However, the very sweet striped pattern seems to be only available at Riv. I've looked all over when I was in your situation. In the end, I just waited till my next Riv order and bought a bunch of them. On Monday, June 1, 2015

[RBW] Post your favourite memories on your Riv

Someone asked me recently to send them some pictures of my Atlantis and as I was going through them I realized just how many awesome rides I've had on it in the relatively short time I've owned it. (14 months). I thought I'd share some of the moments that stand out in my mind, either for being t

Re: [RBW] Re: Elephant National Park Explorer

Depends what you consider 'better'. I'm 160 LBS and ride my Atlantis on 100+ mile rides and enjoy it. However, I agree it is way more bike than you need for something like that. I want a NFE because I have a fair bit of trouble staying with my riding buddies when I'm on the Atlantis. These are peop

Possible? Yes. Enjoyable? Debatable... I recently did the first 1000km of the Divide. I decided to leave my Atlantis at home and ride a Crust DFL with 26" by 3" tubeless tires. It was the perfect decision. There was an Atlantis in my group, and he had many, many flats. Some of the descents are mor
