Re: [RBW] Chain failure question
Last time this happened to me, (brand new SRAM 971 with less than 20 miles), I removed it from my primary bike but kept it for use on a seldom used, short trip bike and replaced the bad link with a master link. It's been fine on that bike after a few hundred easy miles. If your chain only has a couple thousand on it, I'd keep it for a backup as it likely still has lots of life left, but as mentioned, you'll probably sleep better at night if it's not on your primary long distance bike.

[RBW] Re: Nitto Front Rack Fitting Help
Ginz. I have one of these, this is the older version with less flexibility. You could try and sell it for the newer version with more adjustability, or you could spend some time at the hardware store to make it work. What you need is a small metal bracket/strip with two holes to space it farther out. Tis may cause the top to tilt forward a little bit. When I got my front rack the previous person tossed these in as he had the same problem. On my bike I have the ird cafam cantis and they are pretty thin in thickness, so I can get away with not using the extensions, but its a really tight fit. I can still open them up to remove the wheel but there's not much worki g room. I'm not home at the moment, but I can send pics if you need to see something. Personally I would just browse the aisles at the hardware store for the right bits to make it work. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: iPhone Geeks
Just to give some feedback on Brian's and add some more Riv'ish support. I used the BioLogic system with my iPhone 4 and Schmidt hub and headlight during a through the night race on my Riv Rambouillet. It may not be the slickest self-contained system, but I like the versatility. I spliced the wire coming off the hub to run both the light and the charger. The charger wire runs through the fancy circuitry module about the size of a thumb (zip tied to a fork leg) and plugs in to a detachable battery unit slightly smaller than a deck of cards (strapped nicely to my head tube). You have the option of just charging the battery or plugging a charging cable in to the 'out port' on the battery and basically running the current straight to your unit. UNFORTUNATELY, if your unit happens to be an iPhone, you need an Apple-dapter for the USB side of your normal charging cable. Mine was finicky and lost contact some time during the night. My phone battery drained and the GPS stopped :-( It rained a majority of the time and the BioLogic iPhone case worked fine. The rain didn't have anything to do with the finicky adapter contact. NOTE: I have the separate battery and not the ReeCharge iPhone case. The case/battery unit may have solved the adapter issue. I'll be using it again this year but probably just run the charge in to my wife's Garmin unit. I'll definitely be riding the Racing Riv Ram!

The case, mount, and dynamo kit are all required, but come in cheaper than some of the other solutions out there. I've been using one now on two bikes for a month or two, and have had no problems with the brackets coming loose. I've jumped curbs and hit lots of big bumps, including some that have tossed Garmin units from my bars in the past. The charger seems to work well, and the case has pretty good visibility/usability. The case also has a built in battery that stores the charge, and charges the phone when you need it. I know this is a bit of a stretch on this forum, but riv content is that the mounts are on an AHH and a Hunqapillar. Here's some recent photos showing wiring using different methods.

[RBW] Re: 10-speed friction shifting probs gettin' a look-see today.
Auto-shifting (IMO) might indicate a shift lever problem (ie lever not tight enough). Or could it be that there's a certain (micro) amount of cable movement you can't avoid with friction shifters, and a 10-speed cassette just amplifies this??? For me a 5-7 speed freewheel/cassette is optimum for friction shifting... I think you'll have less of (or no) problem with auto-shifting with a 7-speed cassette (as long as you keep your friction shifter tight enough). Good luck.

Re: [RBW] Should I Just Ride, or am I already?
One thing I do when I climb out of the saddle (I don't know if it's right or efficient or whatever--I ain't a racer) is to push down on the pedal with my body weight through my hip--not my legs (force the pedal down with the hip). With every pedal stroke, I think hip-hip-hip-hip to myself. This saves my quads from work and engages a different muscle group--I feel my butt muscle on the side. If I don't think of my hip, then my inclination is to power my weight down through my leg (rather than my hip) and I tend to tire my leg using my quad muscle, which I try to conserve as much as I can. --Don't know if it's any help, but it works for me...

[RBW] Re: 10-speed friction shifting probs gettin' a look-see today.
Thanks for the info! I appreciate that. They mechanic said looked like the lever needed tightening, and the shifting cable needed tightening, too. I'll see how it does on the commute today. If I continue to have probs, I may go to a 7 speed cassette. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Chain failure question
Thanks everybody. It certainly is the most prudent thing to simply get a new chain. I confess that I am puzzled about why it failed in the first place and in a perverse way that makes it harder for me to decide. It doesn't seem that one bad link should be predictive of the others but who knows? Best, Tim On Tue, Aug 28, 2012 at 9:33 PM, Hoffsta tonguetwis...@gmail.com wrote: Last time this happened to me, (brand new SRAM 971 with less than 20 miles), I removed it from my primary bike but kept it for use on a seldom used, short trip bike and replaced the bad link with a master link. It's been fine on that bike after a few hundred easy miles. If your chain only has a couple thousand on it, I'd keep it for a backup as it likely still has lots of life left, but as mentioned, you'll probably sleep better at night if it's not on your primary long distance bike.

It looks like the pin pulled out of one the links on one side; there was no sign of anything wrong that I noticed before I realized I was pedaling thin air. I don't recall this ever happening to me and so before I just reattach it a link shorter or put a quick link in where the failed link was, I wanted to see if anyone has any thoughts or experience. My only concern with repairing it of course is if one link could fail maybe so could another. I'd guess the chain has at most a couple of thousand miles on it and I've been pretty good about keeping it lubed. So, fix or trash?

[RBW] FS: Nitto, Brooks, Cygolite, Sidi, Shimano et. al. Garage Sale
I've built up an accumulation of quality bike stuff that is no longer useful to me, and it's time to finally have a garage sale with it all. All prices are merely suggestions, and I am happy to take your best offer if the price seems high. All payments via PayPal or personal check, add 2% fee to price for PayPal. Reasonable shipping charge will be added for each sale, at cost. Descriptions for all available as follows, with photos available here: http://imgur.com/a/MY6EX#2 1) Tioga Surefoot Pedals: ($40) Bought from Rivendell in May of 2009 and ridden 200 miles total, as they were too small for me. In good condition, though one of the dust caps has a crack from over tightening, but is still functional. 2) [Used] Sidi Mountain Shoes, size 47: ($80) Bought these in 2008 for about $180 as I remember it, and wore them no more than 100 miles. I never got into the SPD setup, and they've been collecting dust for a while now. In very good condition and have Shimano cleats attached. 3) [Used] Shimano SPD Sandals, size 45: ($25): Bought these in 2008 and used for two short rides. Just washed them so they should be pretty much rid of any barefoot grossness (is it weird to sell used sandals?). They no longer have that brown crud on them, picture is pre- cleaning. SPD cleats attached. 4) Two Nitto Racing Cages ($35 for both or $20/ea): Bought in 2010 and used for a year, but stopped using them as they would tend to catch on my pants. The wire got bent a few times as a result, and has been bent back to very close to original shape (see picture). + Nitto Wire Guard ($25): Bought 3 months ago and used for a few weeks, in like-new condition. I found I needed a saddlebag support, so I just don't need it anymore. Picture available upon request. 5) Nitto Dirt Drop Stem ($35): Bought this in 2009 for my Quickbeam, but I've switched to a different cockpit. It is in good condition, and the corrosion seen in the picture has been mostly removed. 6) Nitto Crystal Fellow Seatpost 27.2 X 250 ($50): This came with my Quickbeam in 2009, but I quickly shelved it for a lugged seatpost. It is in very good condition. 7) Selle SL Saddle ($30): Bought this as a backup from Performance in 2011 for $80 and have never used it, new condition. 8) Velo Orange Repair Stand ($15): Used this a couple times and it works well, but I prefer a proper stand. 9) [New] Brooks B.17 Saddle ($70): Bought this as a backup but only ride Berthoud now. New in original packaging. 10) 2 Princeton Tec EOS Lights ($20): Two for the price of one since one has a missing spring in the battery compartment, which I'm sure is an easy fix. Does not include any of the mounting brackets, just the lights. 11) Shimano Ultegra Touring wheel, built by Rich Lesnik ($100): This wheel was built by Rich and is composed of a 36-hole 2010 Shimano Ultegra Hub (130mm axle), DT Swiss spokes, and a Mavic A719 rim. It was ridden approximately 3,000 miles and is true. As I ran it for a little while on my Hillborne, it can work with 135mm spacing. 12) Basic Polar Heart Monitor ($25): Not exactly sure which model, but bought in 2010 for $60 and never used. Includes watch, monitor, strap and bike mount for the watch. 13) Cygolite MityCross 350 Headlight ($75): Bought in 2010 and battery replaced in 2011 with low use after that. The light is in very good condition and the battery should last a while. Last I used it, a full charge lasted about 2 hours on high. This is a very bright light and illuminates a whole roadway at night, adequate even on fast downhill descents for me. 14) Ritchey WCS 27.2 X 350 Seatpost ($40): Bought as a backup in 2010 for $80 and never used/mounted. New condition. 15) German Mirror from Riv ($12 + s/h): Bought in 2009 and used for a few weeks, but I wasn't comfortable depending on it. Clamp has been cut down from original, but should be more than enough to fit any tube. Some scratches on glass, as seen in picture. 16) Grundens Poncho, large ($75): Bought in 2011 and used less than 10 times. While the coverage is excellent, I just get too hot in this and prefer a lighter setup. Has reflective strip mounted on back. Minimal blemishes and very good used condition overall. 17) Pair of Schwalbe Marathon GreenGuard Tires 700 X 32 ($40); Bought these from Peter White in 2011 and stopped riding them after about 700 miles when the bike they were on died. Lots of tread left, and I think Rivendell [http://goo.gl/AbdS5] says they should have a lifespan of 7-10K. Never had a puncture on them. 18) Set of Silver SKS ESGE Fenders w/ River City Reacharounds Split Fender Setup ($30): Set these up on a bike that died, they are maybe a year old and were used for about 1000 miles. They were very cleanly setup by my LBS and they work great for fendering a bike with narrow clearances, like the old Trek 520 they were on. Pictures available by request. * Also Available*, with pictures to be added: two one-person tents 1) Big Agnes Seedhouse SL1 ($150): Bought in 2009 and

[RBW] Does your technomic stem extension sit level on your bike? The top of the 7.
Mine angles down, which I guess is relates to the angle of the head tube not being a match for the extension angle, which makes the bars unlevel, so I tilt 'em up a bit.

It was great on the ride into work today.

[RBW] ISO 59cm Bleriot FFHS
So my wife who is tall (and pretty) wants a pretty bike and says the MB2 is too mannish to be cruising around the hip(?) streets of Brooklyn. She of course likes 650b since it is suddenly cool so I tried to sell her on a Sam but she liked the looks of the Bleriot so thought I would cast a net out there to see if anyone has a Frame/Fork/ Headset they wanted to part with. I will be doing the build since she likes IGH hubs for around town riding. Any condition really is fine as long as there are no dents/accident damage. I can do re-sprays in my yard with some yummy toxic paint if needs be. I know this is a long shot but if you never ask you never know. Thanks all.

[RBW] South Bay Area S24O invite - Castle Rock
Hi South Bay Area Folks- I'm planning another S24O to Castle Rock State Park this weekend... (Article on S24O camping: https://www.adventurecycling.org/resources/Petersen_S240s.pdf ) When: Sunday evening 9/2/2012 Where: Castle Rock State Park hiker-biker campground, aka Castle Rock Trail Camp Camp map: http://www.parks.ca.gov/pages/538/files/CastleRockCGmap.pdf I did my first-ever S24O here on Memorial Day this year, and it was lovely. There are several clusters of campsites. I found the ones on Frog Flat (#1 through #5) to be most pleasant, with open sky for stargazing, so that's where I'll probably be. Full moon is Friday 8/31 (my birthday!) so it will rise a couple of hours after sunset on Sunday. Bike access to the campground is only via the ~1 mile dirt road called Service Road Trail on the map, which is about 1.5 miles South of Hwy 9 on Hwy 35/Skyline Blvd. The Service Road Trail shares a driveway with the Los Altos Rod Gun Club at 14750 SKYLINE BOULEVARD, LOS GATOS, CA 95033. The Service Road is to the left when facing the Gun Club entrance. There is piped drinking water at the campground, though in these times of tight state budgets, I'll be bringing enough water to get me through the night, just in case it is not available. I'll be registering for a campsite, which is good for up to six people, so no need for you to register unless we get a crowd. I'm planning to ride from our home in Redwood Estates via Summit/Skyline, leaving late afternoon Sunday, with a very rough ETA at the campground of 5-6pm -- time enough to pitch camp, eat some dinner, and maybe take a little hike before sunset. In the morning I'm planning to rise when my body is ready to wake up (Yay!) and ride home to Redwood Estates again via Skyline/Summit. I lucked out when I was there on Memorial Day, in that it was the last day of the burn season, so I was able to build a campfire. Now that it is peak fire season, we won't be able to have a campfire. (I'll be bringing a tiny camp stove). It is predicted to be in the low 50's at night, so I'll be bringing layers of wool... I'd love to have some company; hope to meet you there. cheers, Andrew -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Riv's new Thin Gripster pedals?
I just got a pair via UPS, they look great. So thin! only about 13mm thick. Weight is 6.2 oz per pedal, or 174 grams. The widest part extends about 110 mm from face of the crank where they screw in, and have about 83 mm of flat across the top of the platform, measured front to back. Nice matte finish, though I think I'll take a file and chamfer the edges slightly. Looking forward to riding with them.

[RBW] FS: Rivat fleece-lined winter boots
These fit me well who have feet on the cusp of 44/45. I used them for a season with clips 'n' straps but they really need cleats (single bolt; in one the bolt has sheared off) or a new, vibram sole, or need to be adapted to SPD. I forget what I paid for these, so let's just say $50 shipped OBO, with the OBO in 32 pt type, bold and italic. All reasonable offers considered. Trade offers welcome. Note that the binding around the ankle is cracked, but the leather is good and so is the fleece, and the sole is not separating at any point from the upper. I called them my Elf boots because the toes do stick up a bit, but that didn't make them feel weird when in use.

[RBW] Re: Un-racer bike fitting. Your thoughts on my situation.
I had a lightbulb moment tonight about this whole fit issue I have been concerned about. Here was my original concern about the fit set-up: I was told by the fit guy, that the BGFit I got a couple years ago is transferable to all bikes, regardless of style. However; setting the saddle height and fore/aft on the Bleriot with the same measurements as my pro road bike fit, mysteriously will yield a closer reach measurement from saddle nose to the bar top at clamp. I thought that then this means the road bike pro fit is untransferrable to the Bleriot.This would make sense since the geometry of the Bleriot is different than the race bike, even though This had me scratching my head. *Aha! But!* I keep bars on my Rivendell are a few inches *higher *than the saddle (and I'm keepin' 'em there unitl they are pried from my cold, dead hands). On my race bike, the bars are a couple *inches* lower than its saddle. Because the Bleriot bars are higher, this moves them back closer to the saddle, shortening the reach measurement. Duh!!! I shoulda thought of that before! I bet if I lower the Bleriot bars lower than the saddle like the race bike, the reach will be about the same. So I think I will set it up so that the saddle height and fore/aft will be the BGFit, and just keep the bars closer (since I like 'em high) if they still feel good that way. Of course, the bike doesn't have to be the same as the race bike for saddle height fore/aft, but if it has been working for my legs, why change it. I may play around with it and try a Rivendell Fit one day. That means my SH will be .25cm lower than my BGFit (according to the formula given in Just Ride [PBH - 11= SH]). And I could try shoving the saddle all the way back, which is mentioned in Just Ride, too. Anyway, I will set it up and see how it feels. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

.25cm is 1/10 of an inch. Wear jeans, and it will be perfect. Even I can't tell if this is snarky, or zen, but my intentions are good. If the 1/8 difference in saddle height feels wrong, change it. It's very likely that you will be wearing thicker trousers riding in Riv Mode than in Racer Mode, which could well take up the difference, BUT, you might have a higher stack height on your pedal, and thicker shoes, which will compound the problem, possibly doubling or trebling the fit error. It's all very complicated, until you get on the bike and go. Buy an allen key that fits your seatpost clamp, tuck it in your pocket, and find out what you like best.

Here was my original concern about the fit set-up: I was told by the fit guy, that the BGFit I got a couple years ago is transferable to all bikes, regardless of style. However; setting the saddle height and fore/aft on the Bleriot with the same measurements as my pro road bike fit, mysteriously will yield a closer reach measurement from saddle nose to the bar top at clamp. I thought that then this means the road bike pro fit is untransferrable to the Bleriot.This would make sense since the geometry of the Bleriot is different than the race bike, even though This had me scratching my head. *Aha! But!* I keep bars on my Rivendell are a few inches *higher *than the saddle (and I'm keepin' 'em there unitl they are pried from my cold, dead hands). On my race bike, the bars are a couple *inches* lower than its saddle. Because the Bleriot bars are higher, this moves them back closer to the saddle, shortening the reach measurement. Duh!!! I shoulda thought of that before! I bet if I lower the Bleriot bars lower than the saddle like the race bike, the reach will be about the same. So I think I will set it up so that the saddle height and fore/aft will be the BGFit, and just keep the bars closer (since I like 'em high) if they still feel good that way. Of course, the bike doesn't have to be the same as the race bike for saddle height fore/aft, but if it has been working for my legs, why change it. I may play around with it and try a Rivendell Fit one day. That means my SH will be .25cm lower than my BGFit (according to the formula given in Just Ride [PBH - 11= SH]). And I could try shoving the saddle all the way back, which is mentioned in Just Ride, too. Anyway, I will set it up and see how it feels. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Mystery Bike Test Ride
I don't need pictures to prove it happened, I can see you grinning! On Tuesday, August 28, 2012 10:11:25 AM UTC-7, Pudge wrote: Oh, boy... Fixed the bent derailleur hanger and dropout on my Mystery Bike, finished a quick basic assembly last night, and took it for a brief trial run (no lights, so only a couple of miles) around the neighborhood. Verdict: Wow. It's unquestionably the must luxurious bike I've ever ridden -- smoothes out bumps like they weren't there (~40mm Marathons may have something to do with that, but they're certainly not the most supple mid-fat tire in the line-up, so I think it's mostly the bike). Not just a Cadillac -- it's a Rolls limo. But at the same time it handles beautifully, goes exactly where it's pointed (even at very low speeds), and is insanely comfortable in the saddle. And the most amazing thing is that with the Bullmoose Bosco bars, when I stood up to mash on a high gear uphill (the derailleur/shifter was slipping, so I didn't shift much -- I'll work on that tonight), it was as if somebody had reached down and made the perfect bike/fit for me alone. The grips were in the perfect spot; everything seemed perfectly aligned; it was really almost too easy. This bike is a home run. It's going to be my main commuter and errand bike, so it's getting a Platrack with large Wald basket and large Shopsack on the front, and a large Nitto Rear Rack on the back, probably with some Swift Industries Short Stack panniers. SON hub with Supernova lights front and rear. VO fluted aluminum fenders. And maybe even some of them-there Thin Gripsters, too. Or maybe a set of Hillbubba's Grip King Deluxes.
