Re: [RBW] MKS sylvan bearings
if you bring a single bearing to any bike shop, they can bust out the park spoke ruler and provide the exact bearing size. they will be metric. next time you buy/order bike stuff, add a park spoke ruler -- they come in handy and they're only, what, five bucks? your pedal will be fine with one less bearing.

Re: [RBW] Re: New bicycling shoes from Timberland
Quite nice -- I wouldn't mind some in black. I owned a pair of a particular AE model (forget name; pointy, thin-soled, wingtip) dating back pre-'80s (I got it at a thrift store) and a few years later (mid-'80s) I got the same model in current form. Big difference in quality of workmanship, tho' the materials are as good -- I still own the latter and wear them for weddings and funerals. (The quality of work is quite good on the later ones but not of the stellar quality of the old ones.) Of which speaking: you can't easily find nowadays good quality, hard-finish leather shoes -- the kind that take a high polish: it's all soft leather. I have several pairs of decent boots, including a Macona and various L--- forget what it is -- want to say "Laprade" but ; big name; and while those are nice, the uppers are that soft-ish leather while an exotic multi-hundred dollar pair I got from my brother (from a thrift store) has that hard finish leather that shines up so nicely.

Re: [RBW] MKS sylvan bearings
Bearing numbers are like federal taxes: honest approximations are fine. My own approach to tight and harsh MKS bearings on cheap MKS models (tho' those on the lovely RKS track pedals I owned were better than those of the old Nuovo Record quills or the new 2008 Dura Ace cliplesses that I also I had) is to fill with oil (Phil is good) and ride and let the natural friction between the less than perfect surfaces act as grinding medium.

[RBW] Re: New bicycling shoes from Timberland
The Timberland bike shoe reminds me of the Allen-Edmonds Mitchell (http://www.sierratradingpost.com/i/2251V,02,_Allen-Edmonds-Evans- Shoes-Lace-Ups-For-Men.html) I have two pairs, dark brown and black. Grant tipped me to them last year, and luckily the AE HQ is just up the road from here and they had some left. As to Patrick's question, Allen-Edmonds still makes dress shoes of the highest quality. The Mitchell isn't on a par with their handmade dress shoes, but they are still very good. You can view it as a shame that they put their name on cheaper stuff, or you can view it as a good thing that helps them stay in business making the quality stuff, too. It's pretty easy to tell which is which - you get what you pay for! Talking about quality, I had a pair of Timberland boat shoes that I bought around 1980 that lived an extraordinarily long life, including 3 summers teaching sailing at a place with a dirt/gravel lot. (I commuted by bike pretty often, so they were biking shoes, too. Had some nice black lines straight across the soles.) Sebago's typically died in less than a season on that job. The Mitchell is exactly what I wanted for commuting shoes. I can wear them with anything shy of a full business suit, and I haven't carried a suit on my bike in fifteen years. They are extraordinarily comfortable. I wear them a lot, even when I'm not biking. I've always found that shoes that lace all the way down the foot seem to work well for my low-volume, high-arch shape. Ted Durant Milwaukee, WI 40 and fog today. 83 and thunderstorms tomorrow.

[RBW] Re: For the Love of Old Parts...
Jim It's true that most freewheels can be removed with a big wrench. Most of the freewheels that are too much for a wrench can be removed by a vise. Those that cannot be removed with a vice are few. If it's been on for 10+ years and was used a lot, I'd guess that Minh will need a vice, but it's only a guess.

I haven't been to this place, but they've got a lot of bicycle posters: http://216.71.72.116/1/post-query1.php I have been to this place: http://www.chisholm-poster.com/cgi-local/posters.cgi?universal=bicycle I know there are more in the city - I'll try to remember.

[RBW] Riv Rally East Countdown - Only 4 weeks away!!!
Riv Rally East is nearly upon us! All are welcome to join us, not just Riv owners (Fri night, May 6 through Sun May 8 in Wellsboro PA / Pine Creek Gorge). If you haven't already, you will need to make hotel reservations soon... The link again to the Sherwood Motel is www.sherwoodmotel.org. The link to the Wellsboro lodging site is http://www.wellsboroweb.com/wwdirectory/lodging.shtml. And if you want to know more about the rides in the area, here's the link to a great website, with LOTS of information, including links to Wellsboro information: http://pinecreekbikerides.com/. I'll post more detailed info in the coming weeks on exact meeting times, planned routes, etc., but for now the planned agenda is: Fri May 6 - Arrive Wellsboro (I plan to arrive late afternoon/early evening). I will be staying at the Sherwood. Sat May 7 - Meet at Wellsboro Village Green (time TBD), embark on 41 mile grand loop of the Pine Creek Gorge. Sat evening - Eat, drink and be merry Sun May 8 - Meet at Wellsboro Village Green (time TBD), choose one of several nice area loops (I will choose a shorter 20-30 mile loop); we can remain together as one big ride, or split into smaller groups. Sun afternoon - Depart Wellsboro The size of our group (ie folks who either confirmed, or expressed a strong interest) is roughly 30 strong!!! BULLETIN BOARD: Noah Schabacker from NYC is looking for a ride to the Rally. Anyone from NYC with room for Noah? Noah, you're welcome to drive with me if you can make it out to New Brunswick or Princeton NJ (by train?). Anyone who can help out Noah, please contact him at iprufr...@gmail.com Anne Paulson and any other out of town travelers considering being East for the Rally, let me know if you are planning to join, and if you need a ride from the NJ area. Also please let me know if you need a bike (or feel free to bring your folding bike). There was at least one person on this forum who indicated a willingness to offer up one of his Rivs for someone who needs a bike. I have a few non-Riv (but very Riv-ish) bikes I am also happy to loan. Michael Hechmer - I don't think there's camping in the immediate vicinity of Wellsboro; but check out the Wellsboro lodging link above for potential leads... Hotel/B&B will be you best bet, I'm afraid. GRANT P and the RIV FOLKS in Walnut Creek: While it may not be practical, we'd sure love to have you join us for the rally. If there's any chance any one of you is interested, I'm confident we can arrange for a bike and to get you hooked up with ground transportation. If interested, kindly let me know. FINALLY - Anyone else doing the NYC Five Boro Tour on May 1? (Please let me know). Peace, BB -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: For the Love of Old Parts...
I've never experienced any problems removing a freewheel (with the proper freewheel tool) and a large adjustable wrench. I have a Sears "Craftsman" 12 inch adjustable wrench which does the trick every time. As long as the freewheel tool is tightened down with the skewer, it's not going to slip. Campagnolo made a freewheel wrench, specifically for the two-prong Regina type freewheel, and this tool is 12 inches in length (I happen to own one). Team mechanics used this tool to remove innumerable freewheels, I don't think that it's necessary to use a bench vise, and I never owned one.

One more data point on freewheel removal. I follow the steps mentioned in prior posts, but use my really big adjustable wrench over which I slip a 4-foot length of pipe.

[RBW] Re: Schwalbe Dureme
Jason My Hillborne is an Orange one. I bought it from Riv in December of 2009, and at the time, I think there were some Greens still around in some sizes, but there were no Green 56's. After another pass through my taxes, I've decided that a $150 set of tires for my Hillborne (for which I already have 7 reasonably appropriate pairs of tires) would be an extravagance. Maybe later this spring What are the 7? 1. IRC Mythos knobbies 2. Pasela 37's 3. Jack Browns 4. Soma New Express 32s 5. IRC Tandem 700x30 6. Continental 700x28 7. Roly Poly OK, I admit I'll probably never run the Conti's or the Roly Polys on the Hillborne, and the 37 Paselas are on the tandem at the moment. :) Bill Bill On Apr 9, 9:37 am, jandrews_nyc wrote: > Bill , Is yours an older green or a new orange Hillborne. > I remember when I was at RBW, Keven telling me that the new oranges > had a bit more clearance at the chain stays. > I purchased the last 56cm guy in the house.

Bill , Is yours an older green or a new orange Hillborne. I remember when I was at RBW, Keven telling me that the new oranges had a bit more clearance at the chain stays. I purchased the last 56cm guy in the house. So, I know that as far as Hillbornes go...my bike has less room for big tires. Still, I'd like to know that the 50mm Duremes are on a Synergy rim.

Re: [RBW] Re: New bicycling shoes from Timberland
Curious: are J&M and at least some Timberlands still of the same quality they were 20 years ago? I remember that even in the early '90s quality of, say, Allan Edmonds had gone down and I know that the name Timberland now covers junk make in China or Thailand (cheap leather, fabric lining). Ditto of course the Brooks Brothers brand and others like Coach and Gap and Nautica and and and -- f***ing branding and brand expansion. I shop at Goodwill and can afford to be picky. (Tho' I did spend large $$$ back in the '80s on expensive and new clothing and shoes -- my yuppie, WDC days). Somewhat like Masi and Bertin and other good old names covering if not junk, then certainly lower end, cheap labor made goods with little relation to the originals.
