[RBW] Re: Popped the cork on some RivReaders...
Looks like I sent this just to Joe. So I'll send it out again How are these compared to the issues on cd? A few issues were missing pages here and there and there were issues with the scans from time to time. Every now and again you would see the picture of the scanned words instead of the OCR'd content. It wasn't horrible but it was distracting. I had to scan my own issues for 36-40 but I'd love to have another set that wasn't my horrible scanning job.

Re: [RBW] Rivendell owners and Jefferson Airplane...
Jefferson Airplane is fine; I don't have any of their CD's /albums (whereas, Led Zep, Pink Floyd, OCMS, etc., I have about everything of); Whenever I think of San Fran, I think of the Grateful Dead.I have quite a bit of their music (not boxes of cassettes of shows (well, maybe some); I didn't make it to any of their shows, BUT! Under my suit, when I got married a couple of decades ago, I did have a Dead shirt on, much to her chagrin... Only time I made it to Cali, was 20 years ago, spent a few weeks around Malibu w/ the 'Corps, only got to see Ventura/Malibu/Beverly Hills/Hollywood area... On my to-do list is to get to SF/RBW, Shasta, Lassen, Yosemite, Tahoe, Whitney, Sequoia, Death Valley... maybe one day...

[RBW] Re: Rivendell owners and Jefferson Airplane...
Yes indeed! I'm a native Californian, transplanted to Maryland long ago but still have family and roots there. I have fond memories of the Airplane, although I can't recall that I made it to any of their concerts. Did see the Dead, Hendrix, and many other great bands in that era. Have many fond memories of places like the Sound Factory in Sacramento and other unlikely venues. My sister-in-law, Roberta Donnay, is a jazz singer in the Bay Area and also sings with Dan Hicks if anyone here is a fan of his.

I never thought of the connection, but yes, by coincidence I am a fan of Jefferson Airplane. The first three albums I bought as a teenager were:Sgt Peppers, Surrealistic Pillow and The Band.

[RBW] New to me Sackville Medium mounted on new, home-made QR bracket
Kaloo Kalay! UPS dropped it off this am, an almost new Medium I cornered on eBay for $120 shipped (and the seller through in unasked and unannounced a nice Vetta Turbo clone and a as-new Lezyne Pressure Drive. What a deal! Here it is mounted on a bracket I spent several hours on yesterday. It copies the design of the Nitto bracket but with the big difference that the arms angle upward so that you can use it with a non-Brooks saddle. The Nitto arms are in the same plane as the mounting piece which works for saddles like the B 17 whose rails angle upward at almost 90*, but which put the mounting part very low on saddles like the Flite where the rails angle upward at a considerably lesser angle. https://picasaweb.google.com/BERTIN753/NEWSACKVILLEMANDHOMEMADEMOUNTINGBRACKET# The bracket actually looks less crude than in the closeups; my only concern is that the aluminum plate is a bit thinner than I'd like. No sign of flex but eventually I may get a professional to cut me a better one from stainless steel plate, say 3/16. Perhaps I'd add QR slots on thicker stock, so that I could use a QR skewer and simply lift it off; I'd also try to find a thicker -- 1+ -- piece of tubing, both for better bracket support and for easier blinkie mounting. As pictured it is not QR because I used an allen skewer, but with a true QR it would be, since it then is just a matter of loosening the QR and unscrewing the skewer nut. The absence of QR slots makes the bag less liable to theft. Or perhaps I'll have them added and simply take the bag with me ... The Sackville is certainly the best made bag I've seen or owned, and I've seen Berthouds and used everything from Carradices to Baggins to Acorns to who knows what else. Snooty purse quality. I must say that I like the look of the old fashioned Carradice bags better, but for practical volume with tire clearance, this is much better. I even removed the extra stiffener installed by the previous owner; the internal stiffener seems adequate, tho' I plan to test this guess this afternoon with a trip to the grocery store. Question: assuming I could get my hands on 3/16 or 1/4 stainless stock, what is the minimum I'd need to cut this? Would a cheap skilsaw do the trick?

[RBW] Riv's New Pedals
Sometimes if you're patient enough and wait long enough good things come your way. This is the case (in my case, anyway) with Riv's new platform pedal offering from VIP. When I spied these on their web catalog I ordered a pair right away and have not been disappointed with them in any way - they are exactly what Riv (Grant?) describes them to be. I replaced the cheap, clunky old MoSH BMX pedals on my Rambouillet and went for a test spin. They do, indeed, have a much lower profile and the pedaling is much, much smoother presumably due to higher quality axles and bearings. I also noticed that the exposed threads on the pins that are screwed into these pedals tend to grip much better than the smooth-ended pins in my old ones. But then there was one more surprise: all of the creaking and other racket I couldn't exactly identify in my drive train has disappeared! Riv also offers these pedals at around the same price as any of the other Web retailers so no need to look anyplace else. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Thank you for the review George. I have been coveting these pedals since they were introduced on the Rivendell site and happened to order them yesterday. Interestingly they are destined to replace the Mosh pedals on my Salsa mountain bike. They look like great pedals. I am quite happy with the low-dollar Mosh and plan to move them to the Pugsley.

In the 1980's, I was living at Fillmore and Sacramento in San Francisco. One evening, after waiting for the light to change, I headed into the crosswalk toward my apartment. Ripping around the corner and coming to an abrupt halt a few inches from my kneecaps was a gold Porche 911. I made immediate and panicked eye contact with the driver, who looked more than a little surprised himself. It was Paul Kantner.

[RBW] Dynohub opinions
Hi Today I did my first mixed mode commute (bus in AM, bike in PM) and realized how much I truly need dynohub lighting on any bike I plan to ride after dark or at dusk here in Philly. I have a previous generation Shimano dynohub on my Saluki and love it. Also the same on my Rich-built wheelset on the lady's Univega commuter conversion. Today I rode my (new to me) SimpleOne home and realized that with my job (2nd grade teacher) and the time of year I'm going to be riding home in the dark quite a bit. I'd like to not have my riding choice limited so I turn to you. Now there's Shimano, Sanyo, SON, Supernova, that other one and who knows? I think that SON is probably out. Too expensive and I think I'd like to have a Shimano-type connector. No need to power a tail light but I'll probably use another CYO upfront and maybe a ToutTerrain USB charger. What say you? Is Shimano's offering solid enough? What about Supernova and that other new one? Thanks in advance!

Re: [RBW] Dynohub opinions
I've not used the newer Sanyo or Supernova hubs, but I have owned several DH3 N72 models which I understand were improved over the earlier ... 71 -- Sheldon had this sorted out. At any rate, he said that the 72 and 80s have the same bearings, so I'm not sure what the difference, if any beside name, is. The 72, at any rate, is an excellent bargain and frankly, I personally don't need anything better than this. I think my SON 20 wheel spins a little more freely than the ...72 wheels, but not so you can tell the difference when riding. IMO and IME, a Shimano hub and the Cyo are excellent value. If I were looking for another dynamo system, I think I might first look for a decent Sanyo BB dynamo and wait to see what some of the new bike generator gadgets come to. There's one that is supposed to affix to any wheel, and another that -- do I remember correctly? -- works off the rim?? Vapor as of now, and I don't have the links, but perhaps someone else can point us to them. The Sanyo BB generator I briefly owned and sold with the Herse worked fine: less drag than a Soubitez bottle (which itself wasn't horrible for shorter distances) and, of course, much cheaper than a hub + wheel. Lastly, there have been several dynohub wheel offers on this list in the last few months that were excellent buys -- this and the boblist might be worth searching.

[RBW] More breathless excitement over the new Sackville
For me, the Sackville is better news than my indeed excellent home-brew mounting bracket. Just did a couple of grocery and PO runs: smaller loads, nothing much over 10 lb, but: what a NICE bag! I don't mean the hoity toity quality: Carradice quality would suit me fine; but the design is the best I've seen for getting max vol with max clearance. Again, I like the look of the old fashioned Carradice bags better, but man, this just works! The side pockets hold (right) all my repair kit that fills most of a Banana Bag; the left holds all my light kit (Sam Browne, extra batteries, extra rear blinkie, backup PB Blaze headlight; ankle strap) plus overflow musette, all of which, again, takes up most of a Banana. The snap-on pouch carries my 16 oz cluster of keys with room to spare. I may have to put the stiffener back in; or I may just rivet in a stiff strut of aluminum stock to keep the bag from sagging onto the tire with heavy load.

[RBW] Re: Riv's New Pedals
Good to know. I'm tempted to get some but first I'm gonna try putting some pedal spikes in my Grip Kings. Didn't Grant say a while back that there was gonna be GKs with better bearings and spikes? Maybe I'm wrong. I actually like that the GKs have reflectors so I wanna stick with them. I can't believe I just said that. When I first got them I wasn't a fan of the reflectors. --mike On Wednesday, October 24, 2012 12:43:01 PM UTC-7, George Schick wrote: Sometimes if you're patient enough and wait long enough good things come your way. This is the case (in my case, anyway) with Riv's new platform pedal offering from VIP. When I spied these on their web catalog I ordered a pair right away and have not been disappointed with them in any way - they are exactly what Riv (Grant?) describes them to be. I replaced the cheap, clunky old MoSH BMX pedals on my Rambouillet and went for a test spin. They do, indeed, have a much lower profile and the pedaling is much, much smoother presumably due to higher quality axles and bearings. I also noticed that the exposed threads on the pins that are screwed into these pedals tend to grip much better than the smooth-ended pins in my old ones. But then there was one more surprise: all of the creaking and other racket I couldn't exactly identify in my drive train has disappeared! Riv also offers these pedals at around the same price as any of the other Web retailers so no need to look anyplace else. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: More breathless excitement over the new Sackville
Hi, Patrick. Glad you're liking the bag! I bought a Small, with trepidation, because I knew I could sometimes use the extra volume of a larger bag, but I have a cantilever setup that would require a Nitto gadget for it. Anyway, the Small is great and has a just right look behind my saddle...I just can't go shopping with it. I had a plastics place make a flat insert for the bottom when the coroplast started saggingbut your aluminum idea sounds like a better option. The plastic piece is a bit heavier than necessary. The ends of the wooden dowel do make an impression on the leather strip just below the saddle, but I'm sure they've thought the design through nine ways to Sunday.

Re: [RBW] Dynohub opinions
Sure. Although I do think that BQ is a publication well worth supporting with a subscription. Lots of great info. Hubs tested were Sanyo H27 Shimano 3N80 SON28 SON Delux SON Delux wide-body SP HB013 SP PV-8 Article is Generator Hubs for Performance Bicycles None were bad. Quality control of SP hubs unknown. SP PV-8 is least efficient. If on a budget, extra $ better spent on headlights not hub. Favorite was SON Delux SL wide body. Wide flange = stronger wheel. Likes SL connector-less system.
