[RBW] Re: A Quickbeam-enabled Thanksgiving
I put in about 30 miles along Grizzly Peak and Skyline on a chilly Thanksgiving morning. It was in the mid 30s, which is pretty cold for me. I took a couple phone pictures of San Francisco across the way but nothing worth posting to Flickr. I did another 20 out wildcat on Friday which was not quite as cold. The Hilsen is quickly becoming my best bike ever. I really really like it. Today is significantly warmer but it's raining hard, so I think I'll skip today.

Today was much better - 20 miles and almost balmy at low to mid 20's. (I was actually overdressed.) Met list member Dan A. We've waived in the past, but this is the first time we'd spoken. That was a nice highlight of the day. Neither ride on the Riv, but did have MUSA pants on today along with the Sackville small on the bike.

It's a lot more urban than your ride but did some interesting views on the Pearl Harbor bike path. It's essentially flat. Again, no pictures, but I did trace the route at MapMyRide. http://www.mapmyride.com/route/us/hi/honolulu/589129080937035477 It took just over 2 hours to get there (earlier than I expected so there's a little jog off the track to get some coffee and hang out). I attribute my slowness to age, lethargy, and the fact that it is urban riding so there are stop lights and such to deal with. I was pretty sure coming back would a be a lot slower because 1) it was against a fairly strong wind and 2) I was full, really full. Still it only took 20 minutes longer to get home and that included a quick stop at a grocery store. Go figure.

[RBW] Re: What's your winter project?
I guess I just got done with my winter project. It involved building 2 wheels and rigging up lights. First time wheelbuilding. Used a Schmidt generator hub, Velocity Chukker rims, DT double butted spokes. Front Light Busch Müller Lumotec IQ CYO R T Plus (can that name get any longer?) and a Busch Müller Seculite Plus for the rear. On Nov 11, 7:23 am, Ely Rodriguez elyk...@gmail.com wrote: Our winter in SF consists of rain and shorter daylight, so to prepare for winter means making sure the bikes have fenders and adequate lights. Only my Bridgestone RB-1 road bike has no fenders or permanent lights mounted. I'm preparing a bike to leave in Boston, where we go go every winter for a few weeks and about a month in the summer. It's a Bruce Gordon BLT with S and S couplers, and I brazed down tube shifters onto. It's made up of extra parts laying around. It'll have two sets of tires, 23's for long road rides and fat 35's for the snow and slush. I've got some VO constructeur racks and fat steel fenders for it, but I may not bring them this time, I'm not sure if it'll fit into the S and S bag that I sewed for it, made up of cordura and heavyweight 24oz cotton duck. 26x26x10. It actually turned out great!!! My other winter project is rigging up a few of our bikes with lights. My wifes RB-1 needs a rear gen.light for her shimano dynamo wheel and front light. My Ti rando needs a rear gen.light for the Schmidt/B+M. My fixed Bridgestone RB has a shimano B+M front and rear, but I'd like to run the wiring inside the frame and under the fender on the fixed. I'll get it done by December or so. All of the above bikes have fenders. The other thing I have going on is the 1902 Singer 29-2 sewing machine that sews leather. I picked it up for free off of craigslist from a retired shoe maker. I've made a bunch of bags and this thing goes through the thickest leather like its butter. I'm still learning how to use it. My stitches on this are all wonky. It's going to take a long time and a lot of messed up rando bags to figure it out. My last ongoing project is practicing brazing on my fixed. dyanamo wire guides, fender and rack mounts, light tabs, all that stuff, just braze ons. no frame brazing.

Three bike related winter projects: 1. Build a wheel for the Quickbeam with a Sturmey Archer two speed kick-shift hub (parts ordered) 2. Finish my DIY LED light for commuting. 3.

Re: [RBW] Re: Atlantis fender size
It's the 28x2.0. That is equivalent to 700x50 and it shows in stock when I checked. Fenders would be 700x60. How would the Dureme compare to a Supreme?

Looks like SJS Cycles has them: http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/schwalbe-marathon-dureme-hs410-folding-tyre-700c-%28622%29-prod22132/ For me, they're more suitable than Supremes or Big Apples. Much better traction on loose stuff, wet mud, even snow. I would love it if Rivendell stocked these.

I hope RBW stocks them eventually, they seem like a great tire for an Atlantis, Bombadil or Hunqapillar.

If anyone is riding an Atlantis or similar bike with 50s I'd like to hear about your choice in fenders. Thanks.

[RBW] Ram and Jack Brown - no tire deflation needed
On Nov 27, 2010, at 7:29 PM, David Faller wrote: I think all of us Ram owners are wishing we could at least put Jack Browns AND fenders on our bikes. But that's what Homer is for. I'm used to deflating my tires to get the JBs into my sidepulls. A small compromise for the wonderful ride of the Rambouillet. I'm on a trip through California right now with my Ram on the car rack, and it requires repeated removal of the front wheel. This has been covered before, but it's worth mentioning again since it's brief. With the following three things: 1) QR on brake lever (like Tektro) 2) QR on the brake caliper itself (I'm using Shimano Ultegra longreach) 3) Having the barrel adjuster normally all the way up so that upon wheel removal, you can screw it down a lot... ...the Ram brakes open up to allow removal of a fully inflated JB, and it's a very easy three-step process. I've done it 5 times since Wednesday! If you like your Ram with JB's, I strongly recommend this process. It's way worth the expense of getting the Tektro levers if you don't have them. Of course, the more recent Big Mouth brakes from Rivendell would help a lot. On a related note, my brother and I switched bikes during our road ride near Stevens Creek Reservoir yesterday. His bike is a Colnago C50. He was very impressed with my Ram with Jack Browns, I was very impressed with his C50. He seemed a bit surprised about how nice the ride is with the Jack Browns. -Jim W. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
