[RBW] Re: Bosco Bars
My opinion, one should not need to resort to extra torque in order to get the bar to stay in place ! Proper torque is one thing, extra is not better ! If the bar is slipping from not being the proper diameter , ie some defect , if one uses a stem with a open face 2 or 4 bolt design, this issue is moot as these stems are not dependent on a perfectly fitting bar. Yes, I know many are attached to their traditional stems, but it is an option. I for one was a traditionalist, but got over that and love using stems with open faces. I've used my Albatross bars with a 26.0 stem and zero issues for years. Like the Bosco, these can produce a lot of leverage. Or, try shimming your current stem with some aluminium can shims. So, if your bars are slipping, don't just excuse a possible defect in the bar and rationalise it by thinking your making it slip. Proper bar and stem fits do not slip. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Bosco Bars
I doubt many Boscos have been installed with a torque wrench. Does anyone have a torque spec for a Nitto stem bolt anyway? What is the 'proper' torque? A little friction paste (aka assembly paste or carbon paste) might be all that's needed to keep the Boscos in place. If they are so loose as to need a shim then they are truly off-spec and should be recalled. I doubt that's the case.

April and October in Minnesota are either glorious and perfect, or cold/wet/snowy. Flip a coin. If October, your odds are considerably better in southern MN, but April days are not in frequently wet and cold anywhere in the state. I went up north in October a few years ago.

No Atlantis here, but a VO 50.4 crank + IRD 122.5mm bottom bracket just clears the stays on my Rawland rSogn (see photohttp://www.flickr.com/photos/wwwdotjondoyledesigndotcom/5963386699/).

We don’t want, and NITTO especially doesn’t want any faint whiff of a problem, and so want to call this to your attention, and offer some options going forward. Option 1: Return the bar for replacement (you’ll have to wait a bit). . Being riders and bike-workers ourselves, of course we know that it’s not a simple matter of boxing up the bar. You may have to strip stuff off the bar; maybe even cork grips. You may have paid a local guy to rig up your bars, and now you’ll have to do that again. There’s a limit to the complication, but even minimally, it is not nothing. We recognize that and will compensate you a way that seems fair to us. If you want a new bar and can wait a month or six weeks for it, do this: 1. Send us back your bar. We’re not going to send you a box or packing material; you’re going to have to do that part yourself.

If you want a credit, we’ll make it for $40 more than your purchase price. Option 3: Keeping it. Since there is nothing defective about the bar, and it’s simply a matter of slight slippage if it’s not tight enough and you come down on the grips hard, this is a viable option. And it’s not a dangerous one. The bars are strong. If you ride heavy and lean hard and bouncy on the bars AND don’t snug them enough, the bar may move. Big deal---you loosen it, re-set the angle, and snug ‘er up again. The thing with bicycles and mechanics is that anybody with a wrench can get in the game. Some people are careful, some are the opposite. You learn not to break bolts by breaking or stripping a few, and you learn to tighten enough by not tightening enough. It’s really the only way. But IN the learning there is risk, and we want to eliminate as much of that as possible. You know yourself better than we know you. If you’ve greased the bar bulge or stem, we’d say wipe ‘em off. In the old days, and even in some books, the word was to grease the connections. We don’t do that anymore, unless there’s a creak, and creaks are rare. There are about 80 Bosco bars out there now. Statistically, we expect five of the 80 customers to think our offer isn’t generous enough. We understand that ideally, we’d be able to make this happen for you while you slept or at ice cream; but that is impossible—and so we’ve come up with options that sound fair to us.

[RBW] Re: Bosco Bars
I just installed them on my Atlantis. I did find I had to crank the clamp down a lot harder than with other bars or else they slipped if I put too much weight on the end. It seems to be holding for the moment in my 26mm 10cm Nitto stem with shims. But I've found the 10cm extension too short and just ordered the 13cm/25.4 stem instead. I'm wondering if that may be a better fit. The Boscos are certainly very comfortable bars and provide a wider range of riding positions than any other bars I've seen. With the bar-end shifters in, they do come back a bit farther than I'd like. We'll see if the 13cm stem helps that. Otherwise, I'll probably move the shifters up onto thumbies. Riv is certainly offering decent options to solve the problem. I appreciate their abundance of caution.

Re: [RBW] Re: Bosco Bars
Bob, I would just call John and let him know, they are really reasonable to work with. I don't have a problem since I re-tightened them on my Hillborne, but if I wanted to use them on my Hunq for any rough stuff, I would consider the Bullmoose option, extra weight, extra leverage, rough terrain...you see my point. Marc On Tuesday, June 19, 2012 3:19:51 PM UTC-4, Statrixbob wrote: Unfortunately my bars arrived well before my bike will arrive. I've got a Hunq shipping July that I'd planned to put the bars on. That'll be well after the deadline of June 25. I'm undecided on whether I should take one of the options or simply let it go and hope for the best. It sounds like most folks can get them tight with some extra tightening. Maybe I'll go with the option of forgetting, then shrug and get over it when my bike arrives. :-) Aloha, Bob On Jun 18, 2012 6:32 PM, Rivendell j...@rivbike.com wrote: Hi Bosco Bar Buyer-Rider, We’ve ridden our own Bosco bars cruising on smooth roads and bouncing down bumpy trails without incident, but two riders have complained that their bar slips in the stem, and that’s what this letter is about. We don’t want, and NITTO especially doesn’t want any faint whiff of a problem, and so want to call this to your attention, and offer some options going forward. Option 1: Return the bar for replacement (you’ll have to wait a bit). . Being riders and bike-workers ourselves, of course we know that it’s not a simple matter of boxing up the bar. You may have to strip stuff off the bar; maybe even cork grips. You may have paid a local guy to rig up your bars, and now you’ll have to do that again. There’s a limit to the complication, but even minimally, it is not nothing. We recognize that and will compensate you a way that seems fair to us. If you want a new bar and can wait a month or six weeks for it, do this: 1. Send us back your bar. We’re not going to send you a box or packing material; you’re going to have to do that part yourself. You pay the freight, but before you let your blood boil, read further and see how we’ll compensate you. (Alternatively, send us a digital image of the bars sawed in half. This would be a shame, since the bars are still super, but it’s an option, and no points off for taking it.) 2. When we get the new Bosco bars in, we’ll replace them. It may be a month. It may be six weeks. It may be less than that, but give us up to 6 weeks before calling, please. 3. If you also bought and glued on cork grips, we’ll replace them. Other grips will likely be removable without destroying them. 4. For your trouble and our own penalty, we’ll offer you a $70 credit on your account. Option 2: Refund (not much waiting) Want to go this way? Send us the bar. We’ll refund you with a check or credit. If you want a check, we’ll make it for $20 more than your purchase price. If you want a credit, we’ll make it for $40 more than your purchase price. Option 3: Keeping it. Since there is nothing defective about the bar, and it’s simply a matter of slight slippage if it’s not tight enough and you come down on the grips hard, this is a viable option. And it’s not a dangerous one. The bars are strong. If you ride heavy and lean hard and bouncy on the bars AND don’t snug them enough, the bar may move. Big deal---you loosen it, re-set the angle, and snug ‘er up again. The thing with bicycles and mechanics is that anybody with a wrench can get in the game. Some people are careful, some are the opposite. You learn not to break bolts by breaking or stripping a few, and you learn to tighten enough by not tightening enough. It’s really the only way. But IN the learning there is risk, and we want to eliminate as much of that as possible. You know yourself better than we know you. If you’ve greased the bar bulge or stem, we’d say wipe ‘em off. In the old days, and even in some books, the word was to grease the connections. We don’t do that anymore, unless there’s a creak, and creaks are rare. There are about 80 Bosco bars out there now. Statistically, we expect five of the 80 customers to think our offer isn’t generous enough. We understand that ideally, we’d be able to make this happen for you while you slept or at ice cream; but that is impossible—and so we’ve come up with options that sound fair to us. If none sound fair to you, please contact us directly and let us know what we can do, and we’ll try again. We’d like to wrap this up soon, so we’re asking you to respond by June 25. But why not now? Think it over. All options are winners. If you delay, you may forget. If you choose to send back a bar for cash or credit send to BOSCO RUBBE Rivendell Bicycle Works 2040 N.

Re: [RBW] Mary Bar/Technomic stem incompatible?
Thanks for all the advice. I just tried Jan's coin trick and it worked slick as a whistle. Didn't have to go to a 26.0 stem, and didn't even have to use the masking tape. A couple turns of the screw and the bar slid right in. But I dented my penny ;-) I also discovered I have another 25.4 Technomic in one of the parts bins; I might have to pick up another Mary bar to go with it. Not mounted on a bike yet, but that bar/stem combo sure does look comfy and inviting on the workbench.

Re: [RBW] Re: The Poster
HA! I did exactly the same thing: Didn't look at his other work, ordered a Bosco shirt with the poster. Now if we could just see a painted Bosco bike...

In fact, I haven't even visited the artist's website too look at his other work. This way won't be unduly influenced (either good or bad) in comparison to his other work. That reminds me, have to eventually get my latest Hiawatha Cyclery poster in the frame. Have both the poster and frame. They just haven't met up yet.

[RBW] Re: The Poster
I looked at the artist's work as well, and I'll just say that I am a total sucker for that style of poster. Being a left coaster, maybe I'll receive mine soon!

[RBW] Binder bolt for an old Riv Road?
After 17 years and innumerable adjustments, the seatpost binder bolt on my 1995 Riv Road Standard finally snapped. The seat lug is built for a Simplex binder, which is a pretty rare item these days. Keyed binders won't fit properly, and I believe the Campy is too long to fit. McMaster-Carr can provide a stainless steel M6 shoulder bolt that looks like it would work with the Simplex nut, but shipping for a single bolt would get silly in a hurry. Before I bite that bullet, has anyone identified an easily available substitute ?

[RBW] FS/FT: Nitto mini rack
Hi, all: I got this from Jim M. about a month ago. Very nice but I will probably go back to my semi-porteur rack. I'd love to do some kind of trade for a Nitto top rack but if that's not in the cards I'll sell it for $85 shipped. (This is the one that mounts to the fork blades--braze-ons or p-clamps.) Thanks!

[RBW] FS: Dynamo/Touring Wheelset with 700x47 Marathon Greenguards
Here are 8 photos of the wheels and tires exactly as they are at the momenthttp://imgur.com/a/3YipV#0 (imgur link). They won't be ridden before I sell them. I'd like to do this locally in Seattle, but I'm sure something could be worked out with shipping if you're interested. The wheels are true, have less than 100 miles on them (the tires have less than 15 miles), and are totally good-to-go with no surprises. The rear is a hand-built 36h Rhyno Lite with a Shimano SLX hub, really strong. Built by 20/20 Cycles in Seattle. The front is a (presumably) machine-built 32h Salsa Delgado Cross with a Shimano DH-3D71 Dynamo Hub (which is also disc-compatible, though you can use it with rim brakes just as well). The Front wheel was purchased originally at REI. To recap, you get the wheels, the skewers, the rim tape, the tubes, and the tires. $250 local pick-up, shipping figured out if not. -Scot -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: The Poster
I'm not a surprise guy, but the unknown-ness of the poster was what made me pull the trigger. It's fun. For me. I would be more excited to get the original Hunqapillar headbadge drawing than any poster, but that's just me. I've been a printer and a painter, and the further you get from making marks on paper, the less I like it. Oh - apropos of Bay Area artists, Chester Arnold's Tree paintings are in Santa Rosa all summer. The guy's a tweed ride with no bike. If you like craftsmanship and unsettling detail, you'll like his paintings. Philip On Tuesday, June 19, 2012 8:58:16 PM UTC-7, dougP wrote: I love surprises, especially when it's bike related.
