Whoa, where the heck is that inscribed? I've stripped some of the paint off my frame too, but I'll bring it by so we can test the fire and the fork! Hope you're healing up well On Wednesday, January 15, 2020 at 11:16:00 AM UTC-5, Kainalu V. -Brooklyn NY wrote: > > Lambb

Do you keep your bike outside? I've had a few Compass Steilacoom and Barlow Pass blow out in the sidewalls all of a sudden (scary, in traffic each time), and my theory is it's sun exposure degrading the sidewall after a year or so outdoors in NY. I recently replaced with Conti basketball tir

[RBW] Group Riding / New Covid-19 World

I’m with Garth on this one; riding will be fine, off bike socializing should be fine if none of you have had contact with sick people or travelers to effected areas (even NY/SF) and probably skip if you have an old or IC person in your home/care. If feeling cautious, skip socializing part of ri

Re: [RBW] Re: Group Riding / New Covid-19 World

While a great source of community and bike/Rivendell related information...it is easy to consider this entire endeavor a foolish waste of time if we're shutting people down and arguing about who should be able to say what when. I appreciate Garth's odd posts. I'm personally quarantined ri

Deacon Patrick, With all due respect, the United Kingdom's high court ordered NHS to stop funding Homeopathy in 2017 (https://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2018/06/05/high-court-backs-nhs-decision-stop-funding-homeopathy/) They did this because the fact that it is ineffective makes it dangerous.

As the stakes are so high, we should be careful not to spread misinformation. To be clear, it has repeatedly been proven that Homeopathy is not effective as medicine. Look up the original sources on your own, they go back to the early 20th century. Great source of hydration tho! For the re

I haven't gotten far enough in my life to consider chain-line (does that just mean it goes straight back in the middle gear?) or gear ratios... If it's possible to explain simply, and provide an example, could someone do so? I have a Roadini that needs new cassette, I have a 46/30 double up fro

Dearest Friend, Is this happening on the used Homer you bought or the new-from-riv Appaloosa? I bought my Cheviot used on this list, and it got speed wobble at certain speeds down hills. Later, I got in an accident and bought a new fork from Rivendell, and the bike no longer wobbles. I don
