The Sugino is kind of bottom of the acceptable range, especially with the cheap chain rings. I swapped out the two big rings with some nice Raceface 7075 rings on mine. The IRD is very nice and the Herse is beautiful. I like using 94 bcd cranks for the range of chainrings.

Re: [RBW] Re: Not as pretty as the new Herse cranks, but ...
I'd be interested if anyone has successfully used a IRD triple with a wide-stayed Riv or otherwise, and what bb and how was the chainline? I expect that with a sufficiently wide bb spindle the rings would sit considerably further out than those of the XD2 or whatever it is on a 107 or 113. But if you could center the middle on a wide stay'ed bike, I'd be interested in it for the Fargo, using the middle and inner positions as a wide range double (well, something like 38/24). As it is, the X2D works fine with the outer sorta inward-biased so that I can use it with more of the cogs as the main ring; the 36 is for climbing and the 24 is for hypotheticals. As for someone's comment that the X2D is a lot cheaper even than the IRD, well, so it is, but it's not as nice looking, for one thing, and the IRD is a nice middle term between the XD2 and the Herse, no? That said, the X2D is a decent enough crank, and since I use the 46 for most by far of my riding, chainring wear is a minor issue. And chainrings are relatively cheap in 110. Moving along: don't y'all think riding with loads up hills, pedaling low cadence, hi-torque, is great fun? Or perhaps I'm an outlier, but I swear I like pushing the Fargo up an incline with 30 lb as much as I like spinning the gofast on the flats. Well, pushing the gofast up a hill is even more fun. Just got back from a grocery run. Moving further: Silver bar end shifters: wonderful, the best I've used and I've used many. My 7 speeders are built with 9 speed spacers (with 2 between big cog and flange) and yet they shift them very well. Occasionally there will be slippage, but that is due to the Hyperglide teeth catching the chain very slightly off center; the long Silver arms allow you easily to push a very small adjustment in the rear derailleur's position.

Re: [RBW] Quickbeam in Chicago
First of all, there's nothing like a bullmoose quickbeam. Second, your QB set against the Chicago skyline is probably my all-time favorite bike photo.

The latest iteration of the QB involved swapping out the Flatbed for a Nito Mini. The Flatbed was just too bulky for the doors and elevators I need to navigate before I get to street level. The Mini/Sackville combo works great for these excursions. I may add a flat rack out back to allow grocery-getting / longer adventures. Also swapped out the front paul touring brake for a Ne-Retro.

Re: [RBW] Pressure Gauges: Facts? Opinions?
The Accugage one is about the best you're gonna find. I've tried various plastic one I thought were accurate and they were way off ! Myself, a battery operated gauge is a solution to problem that does not exist... yet creates it's own problem ! Brilliant marketing ! The batteries often drain even when it's not being used and then you go to use it and ... ooops. No gauge ! Some people like buying batteries though lol.

Perusing the Pedalpalooza Calendar, looks like the Petersen-Style-Ride is this Sunday. http://www.shift2bikes.org/cal/viewpp2012.php#17-2994 *Equal parts Petersen-style Ride and Petersen Style-ride. Bring your lugged-steel, tweed, leather, and shellac... a rolling bike show with plenty of interesting discussion. Good natured curmudgeons gladly suffered. Grouchy know-it-alls dropped. 5 years running and still no lycra.* Not mentioned in the ad copy, there's typically an off-road bit or two. Nothing serious, but enough to make a useful low-pass filter in case any hipsters show up with tires skinnier than their jeans. For whatever reason, last year really had 'em out, causing the ride to detour along a stretch of active rail bed. A few years before that, it was the I-5 bridge across the Columbia. Half the fun is coming out to see whatever route the crazy ride leader has in store.

[RBW] Re: Newbie here, and to RBW
It'll be interesting to hear your thoughts on friction shifting with power-ratchet shifters..I presume you've been shifting index on your Volpe. I thought I would never adapt to friction, but kind of stumbled into it when I bought a couple of bikes with the old Suntour shifters (bar-ends on one, thumbies on another). I figured I would deal with it because that's what they came with, but would prefer indexing if given the choice. Until I bought a couple more bikes with clicks. Nope. Now the loud, clunky index shift drives me crazy. I love the silent, smooth action of power ratchets, and find it just about impossible to miss a shift. Joe Bernard Vallejo, CA.

I think it's worth a shot, and while it is a further investment in a bike I don't yet truly love.Grant's conviction that the volpe can and will serve me well has me with a $200+ shopping cart on rivbike.com oh, and my PBH was more accurately measured at just below 85.

Doubtful if I can afford a Rivendell this weekend, but I'm certainly going to start saving and scouring craigslist! Mostly a commuter, with occasional longer rides. Commute is 18 miles round trip, and a longer ride for me these days is 20-30. I've ridden steel frames since I started biking in 2003, but mostly on a Marin aggressive bike...only switching to a bianchi last year.

[RBW] seized bottom bracket cup
Hey I think I've heard all the tricks for removing, and will problably be seeking an appropriately long pipe tomorrow, but I'd like your thoughts: Is it likely that I could damage the frame of my Saluki or the bottom bracket threads just by applying more leverage in an attempt to free the seized drive side cup? I hear the carbon and aluminum guys fretting about such things, but what are the chances with steel? If threads get stripped in the process, can they be re-chased in a reliable way? THe left side came off easily, but the drive side has proved tougher. I doubt soaking in oil will help, since the threads were only recently greased. It appears that the drive side really got torqued up a few weeks ago by a mechanic, who was hoping to take some play out of the cranks. But it seems the play REALLY was a faulty or failing cartridge, so now I need to remove and replace. Damn. I'm ready to get back on this bike, but don't want to mess it up. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Rivs meet in the wild
Today I came back to my Hillborne, which was parked in front of Linnea's Cafe in San Luis Obispo, only to find that it had found a friend! A beautiful Atlantis was parked next to Samwise (My Hillborne)... The light blue contrasted with the creamy green was a sight to behold. The owner was waiting for me to arrive so he could meet the owner. I drooled over his Phil Wood built, 40-spoke wheels while he checked out the double top tubes. This whole experience leaves me wondering... does this happen with other bicycle companies? Is it OK for me to get so excited meeting another Rivendell in the wild? I mean it happens with surlys and other companies, but not quite to the same degree.. We talked for like 30 minutes about how much we liked our bikes. I guess what I'm trying to say is that it feels nice belonging to such a cool, tight-knit community of people. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] WTT: Sackville (Black) Large Rear Bag for a Sackville Barsack Mount

[RBW] German mirror, down low and sideways - and a taste of the dark side on my QuickBeam
I found a very nice way to mount the lightweight German mirror on the quickbeam. I put on the bottom edge of the Wald basket, placed it so the mirror face is horizontal - to give a wide view to the sides. It's just perfect for riding in traffic. I have it angled so the horizon runs across the middle of the mirror, and angled out just far enough so I get a clear view straight behind, on the right edge of the mirror, and well to the side, over on the left. I can see cars to to my left without having to crane my head over that way. I used a plastic win cork, cut in half, to give the mirror cinch strap something to grab. And on Saturday, I picked up a sweet sexy bit of temptation - a DOS ENO freewheel for the QuickBeam. I have been riding a 16-tooth fixed cog since I got the bike last fall, and experimented with a 38 front ring, but now back to 40. I initially ordered a 16/19, but on the ride over to RBW on Saturday, pushing up St. Stephen's trail out of Orinda on the 40/16, I decided I should go with the 17/19, since I'm keeping the 16 fixed cog on the other side of the wheel. The Saturday crew at Riv was helpful and friendly as always. Wow, the bike is just as much fun with a freewheel as it is with a fixed cog, and my legs are wondering what the heck's going on with this coasting business. http://www.flickr.com/photos/71141757@N02/7363955478/in/photostream - Andrew, Berkeley -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Pics of Grand Bois on Facebook page
Hi All- I just installed a new set of Grand Bois Cerf Green Labels onto my Hed Jet 4 rims. They measure a bit larger than 29c wide on these wheels (23.4-millimeter rim). They even puff up a bit more in the next few days. They ride really well and are fast. I rode them on the double century circuit here in California last year and loved the added comfort and the secret added speed. I find these to be faster for me than just about any other tire I've tried, including the Challenge Parigi-Roubaix.

[RBW] Rivendell Rally Bay Area Edition Ride Recap
Fun day. Grant's book signing at the Warming Hut was greeted by amazing weather and amazing bikes with amazing people. Glad I got to drag Grant along on this trip. It's kinda hard to plan a ride like this for people I don't know. So I figured I would just do a ride and if people wanted to follow that would be great. I already knew I didn't want to ride Tam that day. Despite the nice weather along the coast I knew riding more inland it would get uncomfortable or even down right miserable. At any point no ride should be like that. Unless you want it to be. And for this nice day with these great people it didn't seem like it was really necessary to go on a epic river crossing ride. (not like there is any epic river crossing around San Francisco) or dry dirt hill climbing. Opt for a tourist route of seeing the best of San Francisco. Riding over the bridgeinto Marin Headlands By some beachUp some hill with bunkers back over the bridge. Most of the route was kinda made up on the spot. Thanks for everyone that followed me (err dealt with my lack of route making skills). After we got over the bridge some people branched off to do their own thing including Grant himself. Kinda made me nervous about him getting back to Bart when he asked the question, I can get to Bart by going this way right? I'm pretty sure he made it to Bart. The ride continued passed the bridge pass Robin William's house pass the Legion of Honor down some stairs pass Ocean's Beach into Golden Gate Park. Here the ride finished with Ice cream in the park. Fun ride amazing people, great looking day. Thanks to everyone that came out. Oh yea thanks to Grant for make a book about bike riding, then having a book signing for the book about bike riding, then coming along for the bike ride after the book signing for his book about bike riding.

[RBW] Re: Rivs meet in the wild
Yes, it is a great experience. I was on a 72 mile group ride a couple of weeks ago. I had been riding with a few other riders at a nice, quick clip (with my Homer amongst all the crabon fiber), when a fast pace line came by and the other riders jumped in with them. It was a bit too fast for me so I dropped off, rather than blow up and bonk. Anyway, after a few miles I saw a Carradice bag on the bike I was about to pass. Then I saw the cream longboards and I pulled up next to a Bleriot! I commented to the owner, and he to me. He had never seen a Homer in person, nor had I seen a Bleriot. We rode together and chatted about our bikes and Rivs in general. He has a Ramboulliet and an Atlantis and maybe one other Riv besides the Bleriot. Anyway, you are right about the kinship we feel with one another. I just don't see how folks with plastic bikes could have the same feeling. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

The set has a very small blemishhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/21531208@N00/7179025119/in/set-72157630046793073/ on the right arm and some scuff markshttp://www.flickr.com/photos/21531208@N00/7179026035/in/set-72157630046793073/ on the left. I'm also open to trade for crank set in 165mm. Preferably the same Sugino XD2 crank set (or even just the arms) so I don't have to mess around with the bottom bracket. Please reply off list.

Re: [RBW] Sacramento CycleFest
Where was that held? Did you also go to the Folsom cyclebration? I was busy all weekend and missed both.

Re: [RBW] German mirror, down low and sideways - and a taste of the dark side on my QuickBeam
Great solution for the mirror! I may give it a try.

I found a very nice way to mount the lightweight German mirror on the
quickbeam. I put on the bottom edge of the Wald basket, placed it so the
mirror face is horizontal - to give a wide view to the sides. It's just
perfect for riding in traffic. I have it angled so the horizon runs across
the middle of the mirror, and angled out just far enough so I get a clear
view straight behind, on the right edge of the mirror, and well to the
side, over on the left. I can see cars to to my left without having to
crane my head over that way. I used a plastic win cork, cut in half, to
give the mirror cinch strap something to grab.
And on Saturday, I picked up a sweet sexy bit of temptation - a DOS ENO
freewheel for the QuickBeam. I have been riding a 16-tooth fixed cog since
I got the bike last fall, and experimented with a 38 front ring, but now
back to 40. I initially ordered a 16/19, but on the ride over to RBW on
Saturday, pushing up St. Stephen's trail out of Orinda on the 40/16, I
decided I should go with the 17/19, since I'm keeping the 16 fixed cog on
the other side of the wheel. The Saturday crew at Riv was helpful and
friendly as always.
Wow, the bike is just as much fun with a freewheel as it is with a fixed
cog, and my legs are wondering what the heck's going on with this
coasting business.
