Apparently Q factor is a term that was coined by the great orator Grant P. Q, meaning “quack,” a reference to looking like a duck as the stance gets wider.

Has anybody ever read all the way through Just Ride?

I own it and have barely ever cracked it

I own a signed copy (only because I ordered from Riv) and read through it some years ago. Can’t say I remember much about it, but it did help me realize that it’s okay to ride a bike in regular clothes/shoes which was a very different mindset from where I was at the time.

I just read the first few “chapters” of my copy and it’s sort of funny how non-radical it is ten years later

Certainly like 10-20% of it is pure Grant kookiness but a lot of it is just… how a lot of people are riding bikes now?..

Just noticed this. Riv makes no mention of the fact that these frames are unfiled. Nasty.

unfilled is fine if the brazing is neat.
