RE: [RBW] Re: Looking for park repair stand parts

[Joe Bartoe]

Hi Marty,

I'm looking for parts for a stand alone repair stand. I have the clamp and the 
portion that the clamp attaches to and allows for rotation of the clamp. The 
parts I need essentially would be the pole and the base plate. I was hoping to 
find someone who might have picked up something like this and had it laying 
around.

Thanks for the offer!

Joe

Joe - I have the 90 degree benchmount for the stand in this picture that I 
could let go. Not sure if it's what you need, or could make work. It would need 
the folding screw-clamp on the top for rotation as that is in use on the pole 
stand.

Let me know if it would work and we'll go from there. 

Marty

 Jeremy et al, I finally got around to changing the wheelset out to a 
 Phil/Bontrager
 heavy duty 
 wheelsetI
  have. Don't use it very much, so it wasn't the first thing I thought of.
 Thanks for the suggestions to try that approach!

 Anyway, Phil w/ the same Mavic skewers led to zero slippage. I rode the
 same route (although a bit slower due to a headache) as last week. I
 purposely left the skewer a bit looser than I was using it on the other
 wheelset (Dura Ace converted to 135 spacing). Not a problem at all!

 Soo, some combination of the DA wheelset with the bike is leading
 to wheel slippage. I'm gong to get the dish checked out as suggested, maybe
 that is it? I noticed the DA clamping surface isn't fully flat. The edges
 are beveled so there's not as much contact (why?). There's maybe only
 50-75% the contact surface that the Phil hubs have. Possibly part of the
 problem. Buut, I have the same hubs on my other Riv w/ horizontal drop
 outs (DA skewers) and those never slip.

 Side note: This problem has been progressive. The DA wheelset is
 probably three or four years old. No problems with my old wheelset, and
 problems with the DA one seems to have come on slowly. An occasional need
 to recenter here or there, but not several times during a ride like it is
 now.

 So I'm currently back in love with my bike, but want all my wheels to
 work. Things are getting curioser and curioser...

 Thanks again for the info and input on this, I'm really trying to
 figure it out!

[RBW] Re: Platrack struts

[ted]

If you look at the original platrack struts they are bent right at the
edge of the flattened out part with the whole in it (as opposed to the
round part where folks frequently bend em).
When I adjusted the angle on one of mine I used a crescent wrench with
some cardboard from a tube box to protect the surface of the strut.
That worked fine for a minor adjustment. Might or might not work as
well for bending from straight.

 Have you considered converting the hub to a bolt-on (solid) axle?  It

[RBW] Re: Platrack struts

[Zack]

I think when the riv videos show mark doing something like that, he 
generally puts the struts into a clamp and then gives em a bang with the 
rubber mallet.  i would guess you will get better results if you go that 
route than if you bend them with the pliers.

[RBW] Platrack struts

[Thomas Lynn Skean]

Hi, folks!

I need to deploy some of the 42cm "replacement" struts that RBW sells in 
service of a front-mounting a Platrack.

I have the struts. Turns out that the holed tabs to attach to the dropouts 
aren't angled as they are on the struts one gets with a Platrack.

(Don't ask me why the product name "42cm straight struts" did not mentally 
prepare me for the arrival of struts that are in fact 42cm long and, in 
fact, straight.)

So... other than me just grabbing some pliers and gently (oh so gently!) 
bending the holed tabs to an appropriate angle, is there anything I should 
do to keep from damaging or weakening the structure they'll support? Any 
special techniques to use? Any incantations? Offerings?

When use my front-mounted Platrack, I don't want to feel I have to treat it 
particularly delicately.

Thanks!

Yours,
Thomas Lynn Skean

[RBW] Re: Looking for park repair stand parts

[Marty]

Joe - I have the 90 degree benchmount for the stand in this picture that I 
could let go. Not sure if it's what you need, or could make work. It would 
need the folding screw-clamp on the top for rotation as that is in use on 
the pole stand. 

http://www.flickr.com/photos/32306142@N07/3641340233/in/set-72157619880239663/

Let me know if it would work and we'll go from there.

[RBW] Re: Friction Shifting and Riding Tips?

[Zack]

I find this to be relatively amusing:

One of the tips in here was to switch to a compact double.

Well, last week, I was in traffic in our downtown and pushed down with a 
ton of force to get up to speed really quickly at a green light.  I am a 
big dude, and I ended up driving my sneaker down into my FD, which ripped 
the FD downward, right into the big ring on my triple.  what a mess!

i am switching to a compact double as I had to get a new chainring and FD 
anyways.  good times.

[RBW] Re: My Quickbeam

[Cyclofiend Jim]

Yeah, QB.

I may have a dalliance with my Hilsen for a while, if I've got serious 
climbing to do, or (recently, as time has been a bit limited) with my old 
SS'd MB1.  But, then I'll climb back on the Quickbeam and there's just 
"something" about that bike.  It always whispers "further" on any ride, 
resists not at all when the trails tempt us, and is patient when the engine 
needs a rest.

Dear listers, 
I'm trying to make a few safety-oriented (and affordable) upgrades to my

lightly-used condition: 
-Nitto Mark's Handlebar 
-Rolly Pollys (a pair, no more than 200 miles or so)

[RBW] Re: Quick Quickbeam Update

Nice!  I also have a recently acquired, orange, 64cm Quickbeam frame 
staring at me as I write this, and some 200mm unpainted Bullmoose bars 
waiting in the garage for when I can collect the rest of the parts I need 
for the build.  Good to see somebody else had the same idea!

Anybody know a good place in the Bay Area to get the bars clear 
powdercoated?

[RBW] Re: Paul Racer Set Up

[Cyclofiend Jim]

Did you see this on the Paul site:

http://www.paulcomp.com/braketech.html

Also, "soft at the lever" does mean more power at the rim.  The trick is to 
find the balance between powerful and not bottoming out on the handlebar.  

AASHTA - still the best reference for understanding the variables of yoke 
length, height, etc.  even if it is written for canti's

RE: [RBW] Paul Racer Set Up

[Marc Schwartz]

Brian,
Don't know if I'm doin' it right, but I use the spring tension in each side to 
fine adjust the respective pad distance for each side, not obsessing about 
keeping tension even side-to-side. For power, I keep the yoke close to the 
brake and the yoke cable short. Am eager to find out if this is correct, or how 
to do it proper if not.

Regards,
Marc

Uneven distance from the rim for the pads, even with the springs set to the 
same tension. Front lever feels soft and can almost reach the bar when squeezed 
hard. Front brake seems as if it should have more stopping power.

[RBW] Riv owners in Indianapolis

I attended a bicycle event recently, and there were four Rivendell's in 
attendance.  This may not seem like a lot to you, but I'm not used to 
seeing more than one wherever I go (because it's mine!).
It got me wondering how many owners are in the area.

Now's your chance to speak up!

My other thought is that if the seller is an actual business - you  
could bring a suit for conversion or other torts. .  .


BTW, I'm still looking for Manny's bike to show up here in Ventura and/ 
or Los Angeles. . . .I know he's North but you never know . . .


All my family's early bikes (1978 Raleigh, 1980 Mongoose, 1987  
Raleigh, and 1988 Ross) were lost due to theft. . .so I'm sensitive to  
this topic.

[RBW] Re: My Quickbeam

[Bryan]

For me, the White Industries Dos Eno freewheel really opened up my
Quickbeam to a lot of possibilities. I hate having to flip a wheel
around while out on a ride, so i would never do it, but moving the
chain from one cog to the other on the same side of the wheel is
really easy. It's enabled me to do all sorts of riding in the
mountains of Southern California that I wouldn't have done if I was
stuck in my 40/16 commuting gear.

[RBW] Re: My Quickbeam

[Peter Pesce]

Jared-
It depends a bit on terrain and load. As Kelly noted getting the gearing 
right is key for terrain. I'm also riding 40x16 on my QB and it works fine 
for modest hills, but I might go down to 40x18 for the summer just so I 
don't get as sweaty on my commute! 
For "shopping" it will be fine if you and/or your load aren't too big. I'm 
230 and feel I'm right at the top end for the QB frame, so I would be 
reluctant to put much more than my briefcase on it. (I had almost 50 lbs of 
groceries on my LHT yesterday with no problems, though!)

[RBW] Re: My Quickbeam

[Kelly]

Jared,

it would do all those things.  For me it would be a pain if there were 
loads of hills.  Even with it geared rather low 40x16.   Gearing has been 
my biggest challenge.  Finding the spot that is fast enough on the flats, 
and that doesn't kill me on hills or headwinds.  It's close now, but still 
tinkering.

I think that the real going rate for a totally new, built-to-order

which has no 2TT is $2k, anymore.  The price doesn't update when you pick a

Re: [RBW] Re: ISO 52cm Bomadil

[Peter Morgano]

I have seen it and it is beatiful but at 2k isnt it at full price? Sorry if
I am just brainfarting here.  I have said before if it is still there when
I get my back pay for my second job in June I will probably pick it up
but was looking for the cheaper way out so my wife has less reasons to hate
me, hahaha.

Oh no!  I didn't know the Snow Peak spork came in a short model.  That's the 
danger of reading this list!  I've often thought of trimming down the handle of 
the Snow Peak spork (regular sized) in my saddle bag, but can't ever bring 
myself to fire up the dremel against such a steady and useful companion.  Time 
to add another item to the "wishlist."

[RBW] ISO 52cm Bomadil

[Peter M]

Ok, I thought I would go out on a limb here and make a dedicated
posting to see if anyone has a 52cm Bombadil they were thinking of
selling. I know this is a long shot but cant justify getting one at
full price at least until late June when the camping adventures begin
with my daughter and thought I would throw out a line seeing if anyone
had one they were looking to sell.  I know I have been told it is a
real long shot so not expecting any miracles here, haha.  I was
looking for the old parallel tt style model but I am open to other
options. Thanks and safe riding.

Ah, a gent after my own heart.  My mess includes the following coffee

[RBW] Re: Grant's visit to PDX

[Allan in Portland]

Thanks for the photos Michael. I wasn't able to put any names to faces (and 
bikes) like I'd somewhat hoped, but that's cool too. Kind of maintains the 
mystery. :-)

The talk was pretty interesting, but only after giving it a day. At first I 
was a little disappointed that it seemed more aimed at Oprah's book club, 
while I was hoping more for a sermon to the choir... yeah, I know the book 
isn't so much aimed at the choir, but anyone going to hear an author talk 
on one of the nicest Saturday's Portland has had this year is I think safe 
to assume part of the choir. Or at least knows Grant, knows Rivendell, and 
knows the virtues of steel, leather, & cork. Maybe that can't be said for 
everywhere, but in Portland, I don't think it a stretch.

The one thing I'll say is that it surprised me that Grant hasn't always 
been the "unracer" he is today. He has been as long as I've known of him, 
about 2005 or so, but that was a relatively recent conversion of his. Since 
I was already more or less an "unracer" when I discovered him, I always 
thought of him as an "unracer" and appreciated it that here was a guy 
sympatico with myself, and a lot more knowledgeable about it.

So after thinking about it, and realizing that it took Grant 
20-some-odd-years to become an unracer, there probably are a lot of people 
out there needing to unrace themselves, and probably even a few on this 
list.

Regards,
-Allan

[RBW] Re: Stolen Rivendell on ebay

[Imladris]

Looks like this is a felony of the 5th degree under Ohio law (that is,
being in receipt of stolen property and having reasonable cause to
believe so).

2913.51 Receiving stolen property.
(A) No person shall receive, retain, or dispose of property of another
knowing or having reasonable cause to believe that the property has
been obtained through commission of a theft offense.

(B) It is not a defense to a charge of receiving stolen property in
violation of this section that the property was obtained by means
other than through the commission of a theft offense if the property
was explicitly represented to the accused person as being obtained
through the commission of a theft offense.

(C) Whoever violates this section is guilty of receiving stolen
property. Except as otherwise provided in this division, receiving
stolen property is a misdemeanor of the first degree. If the value of
the property involved is one thousand dollars or more and is less than
seven thousand five hundred dollars, if the property involved is any
of the property listed in section 2913.71 of the Revised Code,
receiving stolen property is a felony of the fifth degree. If the
property involved is a motor vehicle, as defined in section 4501.01 of
the Revised Code, if the property involved is a dangerous drug, as
defined in section 4729.01 of the Revised Code, if the value of the
property involved is seven thousand five hundred dollars or more and
is less than one hundred fifty thousand dollars, or if the property
involved is a firearm or dangerous ordnance, as defined in section
2923.11 of the Revised Code, receiving stolen property is a felony of
the fourth degree. If the value of the property involved is one
hundred fifty thousand dollars or more, receiving stolen property is a
felony of the third degree.

[RBW] Re: Top 10 Tips for a 1st Timer S24O?

[doc]

You have to be warm enough, you have to have enough food, and you have
to know where you're going.  After those basics are covered, the rest
can fall into place.  For warmth, I like down bags, but I have a liner
too, and a down sweater for around camp at night.  Big Agnes makes an
insulated pad that stows pretty small.  Don't forget something for a
pillow.  For an S24O, you really don't need to cook, but that's half
the fun for me.  My advice, though, is to coordinate with your friends
what you're bringing for food and how to cook it.  Minimally, you need
something to heat water.  If you're familiar with the territory, then
no need for a map or GPS, although sometimes it helps.  Finally, the
one piece of kit I picked up recently that I can't believe I didn't
have before: an inflatable seat pad.  If there are park benches,
great; but if not, what are you planning to sit on?

Have a blast and don't over think it.

[RBW] TA Carmina BB recommendation - Atlantis

[Mitch Browne]

I bit on the TA Carmina triple posted this weekend.

Of course I don't need it and am very happy with the Sugino XD 48/36/24 
Tange 107 BB on my daily commute Atlantis.

I've looked at Peter White's website but don't readily find a Phil to fit. 
I do see an SKF on Compass.

Any length suggestions for a Tange or Phil BB that would best fit this 
crank on an Atlantis? Offset advice?

Thanks,

Mitch Browne
San Luis Obispo, CA

Re: [RBW] Re: Stolen Rivendell on ebay

[John Blish]

As much as an experiment as anything I wrote to the seller asking him about
what size the bike for sale is.  S/He responded within just a few minutes:


*Dear quality_trader,*

Hello quality_trader, the frame is a smaller size, the rider was of a
smaller stature (he stood at about 5'4"). I can get another measurement for
you. 54-55cm is what we listed as the frame's size.

- salafikid

I am *quality_trader*.  So we can see that s/he is claiming to know the
history of the bike.

[RBW] Re: Top 10 Tips for a 1st Timer S24O?

[Mike]

LIesl, bring a book. Something seems really right about John McPhee
(Coming Into The Country, The Control of Nature, Survival of the Bark
Canoe, etc) for S24Os. Also, bring a camera and share the images with
us, along with a trip report.

Looks like my first S24O of the year is coming up on my rather
unexpectedly. A friend and I are heading out Wed for an overnight
camping trip on the Clackamas River. I sure hope this amazing weather
we're having in Portland holds until then.

[RBW] Re: Small Sackville Saddlesack issue

[EricP]

On my bag, ended up removing the stiffener to get it to lie down on the 
Nitto R-14 top rack.  Without a rack, it can sag slightly.  Never really 
bothered me, though.  More annoying is how the main buckle seems to bounce 
against everything and continually make noise. Especially any Nitto rack or 
fenders.  To my mind, not as bad as a squeaky chain, but can get irritating 
right quick.
 
But, yeah, a stiff piece of plastic should unsag things.

Re: [RBW] Re: Stolen Rivendell on ebay

[Peter Morgano]

Seller seems to have an assortment of crap for sale.  Probably a pawn
broker or guy that scours sales locally.  Doubtful he is the thief but
selling stolen goods is still a crime. Best have original owner contact
police before bike is gone forever.

Looks like the seller already parted out the SRAM levers that were on it:

I sent him a message through flickr-   hopefully he'll get it.  The 
ebay listing says it's in Ohio, but I don't know if the original owner is 
in ohio or not-   any Ohioans here?It would be great if someone could 
pounce on this douchebag.

[RBW] Re: Small Sackville Saddlesack issue

[Joe Bernard]

I doubt Grant intended for the bottom to be utterly flat at all times.
He often mentions how a bag's capacity can be pushed beyond it's
listed numbers when stuffed fully, which he considers a benefit. Not
that you have to stick with that concept, I'm just saying the
Sackville is probably operating as designed.
