[RBW] Re: Reviving a dead Brooks - Obenauf oil + goop vs. goop alone
There's no one answer. You say neglected, but what's actually wrong with the saddle? Dry, cracked, misshapen? Over-applying goop is probably not the best thing, Bill G.'s advice is good, but I have had a sagging B17 that was revived with a week-long soak in water, some massage to restore the shape, and a good drying out before riding. The soaking appeared to have driven out some excess Proofide from the underside which I scrubbed off. I have not reapplied anything to the bottom, just enough Proofide on top to keep a nice polish. Many miles since then and the saddle is in much better shape than it was before the soak. Bill On Nov 18, 11:51 am, Daniel datadatadan...@gmail.com wrote: I obtained an old neglected Brooks.

Maybe several goop treatments would get around this, but I'm thinking that a couple or 3 oil treatments followed by a goop treatment might be more effective.

[RBW] FS: 1994 Bridgestone MB-1 (Pepper Grey Metallic) 52cm
I need to let go of my 1994 Bridgestone MB-1. I am not sure if these are uncommon but I rarely ever see them for sale. This one is in excellent condition with the exception of a tiny dimple on the top tube. It's not a dent or crease and is not really noticeable but I want full disclosure. Past that there are very few marks. Even the decals are largely there (most older bridgestones from 94 lose the decals). The only decal with wear is the MB-1 on the downtube. I have the original bar but the suspension stem is not there anymore. It currently sports a brand spankin new Nitto bullmoose bar set with lime bar tape grips. The shifters and all are original. I have Grip Kings on it and can ship it with either those or the original pedals. The seat is a brand new (rode it for only a few miles) black Brooks B-17 narrow. I never had the original seat. Size is 52CM. The tires are Schwalbe Marathon 26X2.0 tires. Just gone completely over by the local shop and in perfect running condition. $900 shipped http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii31/Johnny_Alien/1994%20Bridgestone%20MB-1/249e126e.jpg http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii31/Johnny_Alien/1994%20Bridgestone%20MB-1/b07ca2da.jpg Specs: http://sheldonbrown.com/bridgestone/1994/pages/72.htm Email me at johnnyalien at verizon.net -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Tool Tip - How To Undo Chain Masterlinks?
SRAMs? Pinch and push the plates together laterally, ie so that you are bringing the connected links toward each other. Sometimes if you rock them side to side as you push them together, it helps loosen the masterlinks.The masterlink slots must be free of grit, so if the chain is dirty it helps to spritz them clean with WD40. KHS links are simply a pain and I don't use them. I can't speak of others.

Re: [RBW] Tool Tip - How To Undo Chain Masterlinks?
It's hard to describe in writing, but try this... Use a pair of channel lock pliers and put one jaw on the edge of the masterlink where the post attaches (i.e. not the sliding part.) The other jaw goes to the same point diagonally across the masterlink. Gently squeeze them together and the link should open up. It usually takes a few tries, especially at first. Cleaning the link facilitates it greatly. There is a tool for this, but I find it totally overrated. Channel locks work just as well once you get the feel for it. Hope that helps- Mike in unseasonably warm So.

Wait 500 miles, then they're easy to remove, wear is your friend. When installing a new SRAM chain, use the old master link to figure out chain length.

[RBW] Re: Noticed anything different about front bag handling
I've ridden a Rambouillet with about 10 pounds in a handlebar bag mounted directly on the handlebars, high up, for thousands of miles. I've also ridden a low-trail bike with about 10 pounds in a handlebar bag mounted on a front rack low down directly over the front fender for thousands of miles. The latter is by far the better set up. But the former is just fine. You're more tired at the end of the day with the higher trail bike. It takes more effort to keep the steering in line, particularly when climbing out of the saddle. But it's not a deal breaker from my perspective.

Nice, very nice. Yes, I have a Hunqa set up much like the one in the famous video, and a state park/forest area near my house that I go for quiet solo rides in. I really should take some pics and add to my fledgling blog. rgzeidler.blogspot.com On Sun, Nov 20, 2011 at 12:14 AM, Amit Singh asd...@gmail.com wrote: It's becoming a bit of a habit to wake up at 5:00 am for these rides ... the air is clean and the winter chill has a sweet sting that feels like wasabi all over your face.

[RBW] Re: dropping roadies feels so good.
I am reminded of a Friday night coming home from work. My career as a hospital chaplain was high stress and often left me drained. I turned north for the last six miles feeling exhausted as I turned into a steady wind. I plodded along without any energy when two guys in lycra went flying by me on mountain bikes, without so much as an on your left.. As I watched them go by I decided it was worth the effort to jump across the gap and get a pull home. I lifted a couple of gears and bridged up to the pair of riders, but then quickly realized that that the second guy couldn't hold his friend's wheel, so I went around him and latched onto the lead back wheel. He spent the next three miles trying fruitlessly to ride me off his wheel. We reached a point where the road turned uphill. Since I had ridden this road almost a thousand times I knew it got gradually steeper for the next 1 1/2 miles before reaching 10% for the last 1/4 mile at the top and knew that a rider needed to pace him/her self to avoid blowing up before the top. I uncoupled,* *dropped into my little ring, let him go, and casually made my way to the top of the hill. When I arrived, I found my unwilling pulley doubled over, gasping for breath on the side of the road. I wished him a good day and turned down the dirt road, two miles from home. It felt very sweet.

Thanks for asking this question, and thanks to the respondents for their advice. I just did some masterlink judo this weekend. I hate it. I used needle- nosed pliers diagonally across the link, and it worked okay. My LBS has some needle-nosed pliers they've ground down on the sides to work better. In the future I will WD40 the links first, and try channel-locks instead of the pliers. I may order the special tool from my LBS the next time they hook me up with something for nothing.

[RBW] Hilsen Populaire
I rode my AHH in the November Populaire 100k today with the Seattle Randonneurs. This was my longest ride yet, and probably one of the coldest with most of the ride in the 20's and 30's. I had two wool shirts and a light windbreaker vest which kept me plenty warm. The only cold spots were my feetsies. I met at least one other lister there, Stuart, who was also on his first rando ride. It was a great day to be out, and the folks I rode with were all top notch friendly people. The bike worked well. I had it a bit over-racked in the front with the Platrack and just a lil 'ol Acorn Rando bag. I also had a M/L Acorn saddle bag where I had an extra wool jersey and socks stashed in with my tools. I definitely could have fit everything I brought into one bag, however. The ride was uneventful with no flats or wipeouts that I saw. One guy in a Ferrari having a good time on the open Sunday roads, but that's about it for drama. I ended up not eating any of the food I brought :) Just cookies at the controls. I have a feeling it would change if I was doing a 200k + ride, however. I'm looking forward to trying one of those in the next few months. Highly recommended! Good experience overall, and I have been wanting to try this based on all the great ride reports on this list. Last night, I was pouring over the what to pack threads, and found the advice very helpful.

[RBW] Noticed anything different about front bag handling
I'm one of those who believes high/low trail is FAR down the priority list of important features on a bicycle. I ride many different bikes loaded in a variety of configurations. There are more that are satisfactory than not. We've sold and installed GB bags and their clones on several Rivs and Rivish bikes, and nobody has complained about adversity as a result. I also believe that geography plays a role. In Minnesota, we almost never have long climbs/descents. If you ride in the Cascades, and some climbs last all day, and you cruise at 50 mph in descents, then optimizing extreme high/low speed handling may be more of a priority than it is here. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Noticed anything different about front bag handling
I have held off this topic, but perhaps I have a some experience to share. I bought a Tom Matchak fork to fit my utility vehicle, a Surly Long Haul Trucker. http://tommatchakcycles.blogspot.com/2007/03/frame-neutral-replacement-fork.html I did this because this bike is my tourer and grocery hauler, and I live in Colorado where climbs can go on for hours, and I was curious about the low trail concept. I found the handling of the stock LHT slow and cumbersome that only got worse with any front load and at slow speeds such as climbing and or heavily loaded. I came to (probably imperfectly) understand this was mainly due to the large wheel flop associated with the high trail geometry. I didn't mind its descending manners. Tom recommended changing my rake from stock 45mm to a custom 68mm. This took the bike's trail from mid 60s to low 40s. Well the change with the new fork was not immediately strange or at all drastic. Now the bike just responds more quickly to my steering inputs. What I have noticed is that on fast descents the bike no longer tracks 'as if it is on rails' but will change course if I ask it to. You may or may not like that. The bike still has very reliable steering, not at all unstable. The bike rides very easily no handed. It really likes front loads now and I always carry my groceries home on the front racks. I attribute this to significantly less wheel flop. Nothing else changed with this experiment. All the same racksfendershandlebar bag were used before and after. My riding position did not change. The wheelbase did increase by nearly an inch due to the increased rake. This was a splurge for me. I bought an LHT instead of an Atlantis to save money and to feel I could use it hard and in any weather without guilt. With the new fork I nearly doubled the cost of the frame. For me it was worth it. The LHT is more fun for me now and more pleasant in its intended purpose, carrying stuff. But it may not be the same for you and your bike.

The only cold spots were my feetsies. I met at least one other lister there, Stuart, who was also on his first rando ride. It was a great day to be out, and the folks I rode with were all top notch friendly people. The bike worked well. I had it a bit over-racked in the front with the Platrack and just a lil 'ol Acorn Rando bag. I also had a M/L Acorn saddle bag where I had an extra wool jersey and socks stashed in with my tools. I definitely could have fit everything I brought into one bag, however. The ride was uneventful with no flats or wipeouts that I saw. One guy in a Ferrari having a good time on the open Sunday roads, but that's about it for drama. I ended up not eating any of the food I brought :) Just cookies at the controls. I have a feeling it would change if I was doing a 200k + ride, however. I'm looking forward to trying one of those in the next few months. Highly recommended! Good experience overall, and I have been wanting to try this based on all the great ride reports on this list. Last night, I was pouring over the what to pack threads, and found the advice very helpful. A few photos I managed to snap from the day's activity: http://flic.kr/s/aHsjwQKz2B Brian Seattle, WA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
