Re: [RBW] Latest BLUG post (2/28)

2013-03-03 Thread PATRICK MOORE

This has become a very interesting thread. I'm surprised at how many
choose single speeds, fixies, or at least prefer simple drivetrains.
Me, I chose fixed simply because I love riding fixed -- I had the '03
Curt custom converted locally to a fixed drivetrain when I converted
it from 1X10 gofast to daily commuter.

Several said that choice depends on circumstances (as well as
preferences); true, too. The Novara Fusion that I bought for a friend
late last year is actually a very decent commuting bike (8 speed hub,
dyno hub + front and rear lights, disks, fenders, chain guard, rack,
bell, belted tires and thorn-proof tubes, all this included, but no
damned suspension or other unecessary gimmicks) but, even if one
prefered this genre, trying to schlep such a thing up several miles of
hill, or against a stiff headwind for several miles, would (IMO)
quickly drive one to despair. (I put ~12 miles on it myself, longest
ride 10 miles).

That said, for short, flat, slow cruising with a lot of stop and
start, I can see that a fully dressed Yves or Betty or Sam with
Albatrosses might be nice -- after all, there is no reason why even
short distance utility bikes can't be very nice ones. And I realize
that some on this list ride such bikes far longer distances than I do
mine.

Keep the opinions coming! We should start a photo library of Rivendell
commuters. (A few years ago on the Boblist I set up a library of
beaters if anyone wants to see it. Some interesting bikes and a huge
variety.)

Next question, class: what is the worst commuter that you've ridden?

2013-03-03 Thread Robert F. Harrison

I agree that a Quickbeam is a great commuter. I have both a QB and a Hunqa
and the QB is my commuter of choice unless I'm actually hauling stuff
around in which case the Hunqa can't be topped. I'm glad not to have to
worry about shifting in traffic when I really should be paying attention to
something else. I don't have a lot of hills on my current commute which is
actually ridiculously short (though I add several miles to my return
journey just because), but I've never had any real trouble climbing with my
QB, it just takes a different approach than with a bike with lower
available gearing.

Aloha,

Bob

 I agree a Quickbeam is a fabulous commuter, in the right circumstance. I
 have to have some gears in my terrain, the varying weather, the seasonal
 ebb and flow of my riding stamina and the physical exhaustion of the day
 (or night) makes them a must. Not all of them get used by a long shot, but
 this is also the bike I ride on the roughest surfaces, going back to the
 rationalization of its purchase and selling off the hard tail MTB and
 permanently loaning my too-small XO-2 that I had been using before.

 My experience with the mech disk brakes is different than Jeremy's. For
 what I get in all-weather function, the wear issue is easily within
 expectations. Three sets of pads over seven years daily use. No more frozen
 rim brake pads when trying to stop the second time (anyone else had that
 thrill?). Maybe it's just my set up and use, but I have few complaints
 given that the bike was an experiment for disk brakes to start with.

 Last year at a local metric century which took every opportunity connect
 lowest to highest points in the three rivers, my friend and I were on the
 highest elevation facing a four mile downhill in absolutely pouring rain,
 he on his open wheel Richard Sachs CX with cantilevers, me on my fendered
 Rambouillet with Shimano double pivot side pulls. I was stunned by the
 comparison to my commuter's disks in such conditions. On a workday I have
 no choice if pouring such as that, I just go and never consider the higher
 weight of that bike as loaded or my expectation of the brakes will both
 modulate and stop. My calipers under those conditions were near
 uselessness, my friend wore through his front and back salmon pads in that
 one paved road descent despite no actual signs of useful friction either.

 An ideal commuting bike is very much a product of the conditions in which
 it will be used and the shape that I am in when I ride it, expected
 variances in both being anticipated. Unlikely that anyone could dictate the
 design of a commuter precisely to the expectation of everyone. If it is
 your daily driver then you have a lot of time while riding to be thinking
 about what would be better about it. Most product managers would shrink
 from any findings from a focus group of n=1. Beauty of this list is that
 number is a bit larger but still of some cohesiveness, and even this
 audience would not be impressive to the MBA-types that get involved in
 product development once the sums at stake are beyond those of the
 founders/craftsmen/zealot visionaries.

I've used these on my old college road bike.
They work okay. A tad hard to flip into. There isn't much of a tap for the 
foot to flip into the cage. The screws have a tendency of unscrewing if you 
don't lock tight them. I found myself using these more then my clip-in. So 
I ditched the whole system together and just went flat pedal.

It's not clear (to me, anyway), what criteria are used by the judges at NAHBS. 
That best-of-show time-trial bike isn't my cup of tea, but it seems likely that 
its builder demonstrated considerable skill in building it. There are a lot of 
skilled artisans exhibiting at NAHBS, and I imagine picking a winner across a 
huge range of styles is difficult, not to mention subjective. That said, 
there's no particular reason why a NAHBS-winning bike has to have anything in 
common with a Rivendell.

Attempts to categorize bikes drive me a little nuts. How can you define a city 
bike by specifying particular wheel sizes or components or accessories? My 
bikes have more to do with my tastes and preferences than they do with the fact 
that I ride them in a city. Furthermore, I don't own a bike that can't be 
ridden in any city. What you are really asking is what features characterize 
your stereotypical city bike? Such stereotypes reflect branding and marketing

2013-03-03 Thread Dave

Good points, Jim.

I think it's just our nature to try to put things in little boxes. If we
want to define a city bike, all we can really do is list features that
might best serve a particular individual in a particular city. Would
you call a messenger's ratty old fixie NOT a city bike? He probably
gets more use out of it than any commuter does on their sensible bike.
Is a bomb-proof, 26-wheeled, fendered, fully-lit, racked, 5 speed bike
better? Maybe, but for whom? Personally, I don't need all that;
someone else may.

All of this, circling around to NAHBS, shows that we all like to dabble
in the what if. I went to NAHBS to two solid days last year; I saw a
huge variety of ideas. Some of the stuff is artsy, look-what-I-can
build kind of stuff; other bikes were so well designed that it's hard to
believe anyone could ever come up with anything better.

When you come right down to it, who cares who wins what category at
NAHBS? Everything that won something was exquisitely built, a lot of it
is innovative, and some of it was actually practical. It's all
subjective, but I'm glad it's all being done. The industry is blooming
with creativity!

Riv says:

58cm Hunqa: 87.5-93cm PBH (Saddle height 76-84cm, standover on biggest tire

62cm Hunqa: 91.5-100cm PBH (Saddle hight 82-90cm, standover on biggest tire

which would put me squarely on the 58. But then they go on to say:

Basically, the Hunqapillar is easy to size. Nine in ten riders can go by the
following:

5'6 to 5'8 : 51cm
5-9 to 5-11: 54cm
Long-legged 5-10 to 6-1: 58cm
Long legged 6ft to 6-4.4: 62cm

Which would put me on the 62. Any other data points out there?

I'm concerned about the standover on the 62cm. I have a concern on the 36

There's no way these old bones would hunch over that TT bike, but you gotta 
give the man credit for building such a wild steel bike, and winning races 
on it.

 Good points, Jim. 

 I think it's just our nature to try to put things in little boxes. If we 
 want to define a city bike, all we can really do is list features that 
 might best serve a particular individual in a particular city.  Would 
 you call a messenger's ratty old fixie NOT a city bike?  He probably 
 gets more use out of it than any commuter does on their sensible bike.   
 Is a bomb-proof, 26-wheeled, fendered, fully-lit, racked, 5 speed bike 
 better?  Maybe, but for whom?  Personally, I don't need all that; 
 someone else may. 

 All of this, circling around to NAHBS, shows that we all like to dabble 
 in the what if.  I went to NAHBS to two solid days last year; I saw a 
 huge variety of ideas.  Some of the stuff is artsy, look-what-I-can 
 build kind of stuff; other bikes were so well designed that it's hard to 
 believe anyone could ever come up with anything better. 

 When you come right down to it, who cares who wins what category at 
 NAHBS?  Everything that won something was exquisitely built, a lot of it 
 is innovative, and some of it was actually practical.  It's all 
 subjective, but I'm glad it's all being done.  The industry is blooming 
 with creativity!

 There are a lot of skilled artisans exhibiting at NAHBS, and I imagine 
 picking a winner across a huge range of styles is difficult, not to mention 
 subjective. That said, there's no particular reason why a NAHBS-winning 
 bike has to have anything in common with a Rivendell. 
  
  Attempts to categorize bikes drive me a little nuts. How can you define 
 a city bike by specifying particular wheel sizes or components or 
 accessories? My bikes have more to do with my tastes and preferences than 
 they do with the fact that I ride them in a city. Furthermore, I don't own 
 a bike that can't be ridden in any city. What you are really asking is 
 what features characterize your stereotypical city bike? Such stereotypes 
 reflect branding and marketing more than anything.

2013-03-03 Thread Edwin W

The ideal for me is what I am building my new (to me) Hillborne into:
Flat pedals so I can wear whatever shoes I am wearing. 
Fenders - longboard
Dyno: never going back. Lights always on front and back
Racks fore (Gamoh porteur (thanks for all the suggestions) with Wald 139 
basket) and aft (Public bikes rack with spring)
Alba bars (upright is all right)
8 speed on back 11-32
40x26 + chainguard with no front derailer- essentially a 1x8 with a bailout 
option. If I am using the 26 more than once a week (month? year?) I will 
consider a front derailer
38mm tires
Brooks saddle

So many of these are personal choices I know. But this is a customization 
group, isn't it??

Looking forward to finishing up in the next two weeks.

Re: [RBW] Front Rack ideas

2013-03-03 Thread BenG

I don't think it's a 2-strut.  Take a close look at the drop-bar Atlantis 
photo under Our Bikes at rivbike.com - that front rack is a pannier rack, 
with a triangulated deck; wide, closed frame on the sides; and a loop at 
the bottom.  And it's different from the rear one.

Michael,

I had the chain suck with a number of RD2 cranksets.  I found that the 
index mark on the middle chainring needs to be at 1:00 when the arm is at 
12:00.  If the index is at 11:00, then shifting pins occasionally grab the 
chain.

Regards,
Bill Lucas

 I am in the process of rebuilding a RD2 crankset and discovered, actually 
 remembered, that it needs a shim between the middle ring and spider to 
 prevent chain suck when shifting to the inside ring.  I have had three of

 luck, or is this a widespread experience?

 Are you a member? 

 So here is the story...turning the way-back machine to about 1996, 
 some friends and I were sitting over coffee after a ride and started 
 to recount how many times we had done this. As it turned out, it was 
 apparent that not only had the vast majority of our rides (bike, 
 motorcycle, skateboard, snowboard...) started or ended over coffee, 
 but many of our good friends and riding partners were met at the cafes 
 we were frequenting. We had a pretty good network that spanned darn 
 near coast to coast. An Association of Caffeinated Wheelmen I 
 blurted out while simultaneously sketching out a logo on the 
 napkin 

 Fast forward to about 6 months ago, I was digging through some piles 
 of artwork looking for something, and stumbled on my original sketch. 
 All of the patches and hats we had originally done up were long 
 retired, lost, or given away...so I got in touch with some of the 
 original ACW's and told them I was going to mint some lapel 
 pins...everyone chipped in to beat the minimums. 

 Our whole thing was very tongue in cheek, but we wanted it to have an 
 old money-secret society-unleash the hounds type of feel to it. 
 Anyway after finding the iBob's / ROB's and meeting so many awesome 
 people and reading about the network that exists between the riders, I 
 thought it would be cool to expand the ACW. 

 It's all for fun and conversation, and really just a bit of decoration 
 for the bags, hats etc...but wanted to offer them up. I have @ 20-30 
 or so left of the lapel pins, but we can do more if interest is there. 
 We were also contemplating doing up some patches too? 

 $6/pc shipped to you. Trades for your club pins is good too. For 
 that matter no interesting trade would be turned down. Drop me line 
 hbc...@yahoo.com javascript: or just paypal me there with your info! 

 Stay thirsty my friendsfor coffee. ;)

Andy,

Nice blog article and nice thread. If this family cycling business is a 
possibke direction for Riv then I don't think the thread is OT. Here's a 
link to a flikr set I have been accumulating of 'family cycling' far away 
and long ago (for some anyway): 
http://www.flickr.com/photos/48163544@N02/8362805783/in/set-72157632477907968

May be of some interest and perhaps inspiration...

Looking back at these bikes they are rather 'Riv-ish' in their organic, 
make-do approach! And the people depicted were living car-free back in the 
'70s and '80s!

 Last January my wife and I happened to be in Berkeley and stopped by 
 Rivendell to take a look at the Betty Foy.  I wasn't interested in a new

 time I wouldn't even look at anything with 2TT's, so they set me up with a 
 1TT 65cm Hilsen; hard to believe now there ever was such a thing.  We did 
 not have much time that day and left without a purchase.  The following 
 March we had another opportunity and set up an appointment for an extended 
 test ride.  I was right up front with Rivendell and told them that I, 
 personally, wasn't in the market, but wanted the opportunity to test ride 
 something; anything; their choice.  When we arrived I was given a 60cm 
 green 2TT Sam Hillborne.   We took off for an extensive 4 hour test ride.  
 I had never felt more comfortable on a bike.  The handling was superb.  I 
 felt as though I could do anything and/or ride anywhere on that bike.  To 
 make a long story short we came home with Betty and Sam Hillborne frames 
 that day.  I wasn't influenced by looks, price, the RMW Owners Bunch, 2TT's 
 or anything else.  I simply liked the fit and ride.  Since than I've put 
 almost 4,000 miles on the bike and have only ridden my former favorite 
 once.  I've also grown to appreciate the novelty of the 2TT.  Not sure what 
 it adds or detracts from, but I'm happy with the ride handling 
 characteristics and it is kinda clool having something a little different.

[RBW] Re: FS in Berkeley, CA: 56cm Sam Hillborne, Orange, Single TT, Canti, Waterford-Built

2013-03-03 Thread Daniel M

The bike is still available, but the Craigslist posting has expired.  Here 
is a link to the refreshed post:

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/bik/3656403116.html

I hope I'm not violating any guideline or community etiquette by linking to 
my own craigslist post; I've never set up a Flickr or Picassa account 
before so this is the best way I know of to share photos.

Feel free to contact me with any questions; I'd be happy to share my phone 
number once I know you're not a robot!

Thanks again,

Daniel

 A new batch of pins has been ordered and I was given a 4 week delivery

 I have also sent the artwork for getting a quote on patches. Luckily they

 After a bunch of research it looks like Bigcartel is the perfect solution 
 for handling the orders. THANK YOU Brian (Benedikt) for that suggestion!!

 I am in the process of setting up the storefront and when the product

[RBW] Re: OT - Family Biking

2013-03-03 Thread bwphoto

Thanks for posting this Smitty...I have enjoyed reading several family
riding blogs each one taking me back to the early days of family riding as
I am sure is the case with some of the other old folks here. We really
didn't have much in the way of resources or products to carry our kids...just
thishttp://www.mudguardsandinnertubes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/il_fullxfull.278031558.jpg.

I remember returning from SE Asia and feeling like I was in a diferent
world when returned to KU for grad school...there were bikes everywhere,
when just four years earlier there were only a small handful of us. When
Cannondale came out with the
Buggerhttp://www.mudguardsandinnertubes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/cannondale_1980_catalog_145.jpgin
the earlier '70s things started to change, we bought one right away and
soon had a small group of young families who loved to ride like us joining
us on weekend bugger rides. We were all hopeful that some day moving around
by bike would not be sen as an oddity but rather a normal and sensible way
of travel.

Our kids had the same sense of excitement as we pulled them around behind
us as I have read about other families with their long tails. All of you
young families are doing more in your everyday kid and cargo carrying
errands to demonstrate how to *Just Ride*, hopefully the momentum will
continue to build, I'd really like to see the results in my life time.

Keep it up and remember it really boils down to Grant's fundamental thesis
that riding is all about moving ourselves under our own power and enjoying
it in the process. Thanks for indulging me in my memories it is heart
warming to see how far we have come.

Looking back at these bikes they are rather 'Riv-ish' in their organic,

Re: [RBW] Front Rack ideas

2013-03-03 Thread Minh

i don't think that's right, if you look at that atlantis pic here, 
http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/f-atlantis.htm (first one), notice the 
front rack has a bar in the middle, and also notice the rod that goes from 
the midfork brazon to the rack, the rack has a corresponding tab to bolt 
the rod.

it's kind of like the mt campee rear, but again not an exact match, still 
not sure which rack that is!

btw the older big front racks will fit some bikes without the p-clams, it 
fits mine but i can't explain why.

[RBW] Re: Sugino crank question

2013-03-03 Thread dougP

On mine, the chain gets caught between the middle ring  chainstay.  When 
this happens, the chain is on the inner ring at the top but the section 
that's disengaging from middle to inner gets stuck between the stay  the 
middle.  Visually, there appears to be more space between the inner  
middle rings than the middle  outer rings.

Mine is an XD with flat rings (no ramps or pins), with a 110 mm BB.  I'd 
thought that next time I need a BB I'd go up to a 113 to give the chain 
more clearance with the stay.  Agree that Sugino's hidden bolt is a PITA, 
and serves no useful purpose.

[RBW] WTB- Sugino XD2 Crank Triple (driveside)

2013-03-03 Thread Adam

Hey all,

I've finally concluded that the incessant clicking on my pedal stoke has to 
do with my damaged drivetrain crank arm. I've tried pedal washers and tons 
of grease and still the clicking continues. For those that are wondering 
I've done a full process of elimination with bottom bracket and pedal 
possibilities.

So...I need a new crank for my drive side. If anyone happens to have an 
extra single crank arm I'd love to purchase it. Otherwise also interested 
if anyone has a set. I have chainrings so am covered on that front. They 
measure 6.5 inches on the inside and 8 inches on the outside. Is that 170mm?

Thanks,
Adam

[RBW] East Bay Mixed Terrain Ride Recap

Over the course of riding my bike, I have gotten to ride on a bunch of 
different terrain. Sometimes with the appropriate tires and gearing, most 
of the time not. On these adventures I was lucky enough to share it with a 
variety of different great people. It's always good to see those different 
people getting together and having a good time. 
Bill, Sean, Tom, Dav and I take it to the hills pass Sunol. At Sunol we say 
hi and give a good luck pat on Mayor Bosco. Sunol's actually mayor for a 
good number of years, now turn into beer tap. We met up with Ted who rode 
from Livermoore. Ted being the local took charge of taking us through the 
beautiful riding in near Sunol. We descend down from the ridge into the 
valley to climb back to the ridge to check out the abandon and haunted 
Rancho. We get back to Palomares road and we surprisingly met up with Adam 
and Adam other Rivendell posters on a ride for a picnic. They take the dirt 
road up to the Rancho as we rode down into the town for lunch. The ride 
plan was to Walnut Creek but it ended up being a bit too ambitious. Great 
time.

Pictures proved that the ride was savage:

[RBW] East Bay Mixed Terrain Ride Recap

Did the good-luck pat on the head of a statue of a DOG have anything with me 
going D.O.G.?  (Down On Ground)

Anyway, my ribs are a little sore, but it was a gorgeous ride

Re: [RBW] Roadeo geometry specs

2013-03-03 Thread Addison Wilhite

I have had one as well. It is essentially the Serotta fit (my lbs is a
dealer) but it's generally a good process/series of questions/conversation
that brings in your own riding goals and style, flexibility, etc. I found
it to be a good baseline for seat tube and top tube but given that I still
have different a slightly different setup for the handlebars including
height for all of my bikes based on how they are ridden. Even my gunnar
crosshairs and sport are pretty different based on how they are ridden.
Plus there is the type of bar/shifter setup can make hand positions
something to play with of course.

I think it's a good idea to have it done but I never went in feeling like
it was going to be magic. Although, I should also say I had my first fit
for my custom Della Santa and it is still the most extraordinary riding
bike I've ever been on.

Regards,
Addison

[RBW] Is there a spare 42T 110 BCD chainring in Berkeley/North Oakland?

2013-03-03 Thread BSWP

I'm downgrading the gearing on my LongLow, from a 50-46-28 to a 46-XX-24, 
and looking for XX = 42. 
These are on a Ritchey Logic crankset, 5-hole 110 BCD. I just searched my 
spares, and no 42 or 43. 
Some very old BioPace rings, though... yikes.

Ideally someone nearby has one sitting there, and would like to trade it 
for some cash.

[RBW] Re: Latest BLUG post (2/28)

2013-03-03 Thread Philip Williamson

Oh no you didn't! ;^) 
That's a time trial bike. Its an F1 racing machine. The builder is one of the 
top engineers building bikes. He paints them. He races them to championships. 
He includes beautiful details, and machines the parts he designs. I think he 
made the brakes on that bike. 
I would put money down that the NAHBS winning bike is extremely rideable, but 
not for you. Or me. For someone with the power and desire to set a TT course 
record, I think that bike will do it. 

Respectfully,
Philip

I'd seen the sugino one, of course - but I was never clear if I liked it or
not.

I took your advice and dremeled  down an older big ring. That took some
effort and it looks 'pretty good' but not great. I may try again. a friend
of mine has a bunch of old 110bcd large rings that are all shark-toothed
out. :)

Here's how the hilsen looks without the bashguard:

I think the chain guard looks pretty good and it sure feels good.


I may have to shorten the chain up a little bit since I don't need it to
stretch for a 48x30 anymore - only a 40x30.

on the whole a productive weekend in the bike shed.
