[RBW] New Google format

2011-06-27 Thread Michael Hechmer
Am I missing something or does the new Group format lack any method to 
forward a message?  I wanted to forward the discussion of the SFR to my son, 
who lives in the area.  It appears one could post a response and cc someone, 
but that's it.

[RBW] Re: Chain Tensioners

2011-06-27 Thread Matthew Snyder
Hi David,

I used the Surly chain tensioner and was not terribly impressed with
it -- it's a fairly simple component, so all I really ask is that it
just works.  I had lots of little issues with it.  The biggest problem
was that the floating pulley bar (for lateral adjustment) kept
loosening up, no matter how hard I'd tighten it down.  Eventually the
pulley bar actually fell off during a ride, which is not a good
position to find yourself in.  I partially blame myself for continuing
to use a part that wasn't working right, but still...

Anyway, just my limited experience.  If you don't need the extra
lateral adjustment, the Shimano looks like a better option, but I
haven't used it.

Regards,
Matthew Snyder

[RBW] Does Marathon 700x47 work with Tubus Tara?

2011-06-27 Thread Mike
I know there's some folks on this list that use Tubus racks. I'm wonder if 
anyone knows if the Tara will work with the Schwalbe Marathon 700x47 (actual 
41) that RBW sells. I'm currently running those Schwalbes on my LHT and am 
considering a Tara rack. If the clearance is tight I'd probably just go wit 
the Tubus Duo. I have a Surly Nice front rack but it's a bit much for my 
needs.

Thanks.

 IME, the tensioner really has more to do with keeping the chain on the
 sprockets. If you are skipping, I'd take a look at things and figure on a
 new chain or rear sprocket.  (Or, as on my MB1 SS, since I use a 7/8 freehub
 with spacers, I do grind up the freehub as well.)

Re: [RBW] Does Marathon 700x47 work with Tubus Tara?

2011-06-27 Thread John Blish
Hi Mike,

Here are some photos that will help you get a better idea of the clearances
when Tara is mounted:

https://picasaweb.google.com/jblish/TubusTaraOnRANSCrankForwardDynamikFork?authkey=Gv1sRgCOGkrLTLqvmU3AE

The tire on this bike is 26 x 1.5 Kenda cheapie.  You can see that your 47
(or actual 41) will easily fit if I am understanding the question.

In the 3rd picture you will see the silver spacers I added to make sure the
connection at the dropout would clear the bulbous fork blade.  There was no
problem asking Tara to spread just a bit to accommodate that larger opening
at the bottom and no damage at all to the rack by doing that.  The rack has
some give and spring to it.

The last photo is prior to Tara being mounted with Tubus Cargo (meant for
700 tire but I wasn't going to buy a new one for 26 just because of that)
on the rear.

Additional questions happily answered.  I like the Tara a lot.  Helps permit
this bike that was not designed for touring to operate as a loaded tourer.

[RBW] Mission Peak - S240

2011-06-27 Thread manueljohnacosta
Short trip up Mission Peak. Rode up the from the Ohlone College side
and took my good friend Tommy. We all have friends like my friend
Tommy. You know those type of guys that just ride like a demon. Funny
thing is that I introduced him into cycling. And after one year the
buddy I was taking on short rides is leaving me eat his dust. Lucky
for me being weighted down with camp gear and walking up steep fire
roads is the great equalizer. We got to camp and hiked to the top of
Mission Peak to cook dinner. Sadly we forget the dinner at my
apartment and we were stuck eating breakfast for dinner. Bacon and
Bacon. At the top of Mission Peak we surveyed the beautiful lights of
Fremont and San Jose. We played with a handful of shots. Great night
great trip.

Saturday and picked up my 67cm AHH frame!  It's a work of art!  I went with
a custom color, and after many hours of second guessing my decision I
finally got to see it!  I have to admit that it came out a lot lighter than
I expected from the paint chip, and I was a little bit upset when I first
saw it, but once I started hanging shiny bits on it I started to realize
that it's probably a lot nicer than what I'd originally asked for, and it's
really growing on me -- I think now that it's a really nice color!  [The big
reveal coming once the shiny bits are properly hung :-) ].

So, speaking of shiny bits... there's one rather important one that I
haven't decided on yet!  Wheels!  I really like the classic polished hubs,
and this bike is beautiful and really deserves some nice looking hubs, but a
set of Rivy hubs approach the the amount that I was hoping to spend on the
entire wheelset!  I considered the VO Grand Cru hubs, which are a bit
cheaper, but they don't have the 32 spoke hubs that I wanted (I like the
look of 32 spoke hubs, and I'm a lightweight rider for my height, I have a
touring bike for the heavy loaded stuff).  I like freewheels, and 7 speeds
is perfect [prefer it over 9], but am probably leaning more toward a
cassette just because quality freewheels are getting harder to find.  The
problem that I'm having is that it's harder to find 135 mm hubs that meet
these requirements than 130 mm hubs, as 135 mm stuff is usually MTB oriented
and more colorful (usually anodized).  So, I'm starting to think about maybe
getting a set of road hubs and buying a new axle and respacing it... anybody
ever done that?  Is it hard to find proper axles?  It looks like Harris
sells all the parts that I need...

Thanks!
-Rex

Subject: [RBW] fs: Rivendell 650b wheels + extra tires/tubes GRAN BOIS

Rivendell/Rich built 650b wheelset comprised of Shimano LX hubs/
Velocity Synergy rims (32h hubs). Comes with 3.5 sets of tires. You
have the Gran Bois Cypress on the wheels right now. Plus you'll get a
set of Panaracer Col De Vie, a set of Fatty Rumpkins and ONE Maxy
Fasty tire. All tires are gently used. You will also get FOUR new 650b
tubes on top of the two in the wheels right now. Skewers included. No
cassette included. $350 for everything or I'm able to sell just the
tires or just the wheelset, let me know! Shipping is always a
possibility!

Re: [RBW] wtb: albatross setup

2011-06-27 Thread Rene Sterental
I'm thinking about selling my Albatross cockpit minus the bar end shifters.
Would prefer not to do any additional disassembly since the shellacked cork
grips would be destroyed in the process. It includes the bars, Shimano very
nice silver colored brake levers for cantilever or sidepulls and a Nitto
12cm 25.4mm stem so no shims are needed. Everything is in brand new
condition as it was on the Betty that has barely been ridden. Due to the
success I've had with the Nitto Touring bars on the Atlantis, I'm setting up
the Betty with a set of Yuma Mondolo bars that are similar and I had gotten
from St. John Cycles in England before discovering the Nitto version.

Let me know if you're interested to start calculating the price. I just
pulled the cockpit down yesterday afternoon.

[RBW] Re: I'm now OFFICIALLY a riv owner!

2011-06-27 Thread charlie
I'd just get some of those VO 36 spoke hubs.what do four spokes
weigh? More spokes= stronger wheel. I rode 36'ers when I weighed 168
pounds as did millions. The VO hubs look pretty nice and shiny plus
they are easily disassembled. The Velo Orange dudes are really into
all the shiny, chrome, vintage look, anywayI'll bet you would be
happy with them. Just sayin..
