Re: [RBW] Re: Scratching an itch...26 to 650b All Rounder...with PICS!
With your Stan's filled tubes, does the latex fluid stay fluidish, or does it dry out like what happens in tires? I've thought about doing that, but don't know if i have to keep recharging w/ fresh fluid like I do tires.

[RBW] Re: Another dirt road exploration.
Excellent report and pics. Keep 'em coming. --Smitty On Thursday, March 21, 2013 8:17:45 AM UTC-7, Mike wrote: My friend Ed and I got out yesterday for another dirt road exploration yesterday, again on our singlespeeds. We took the Max train out to Hillsboro from Portland where we headed into Banks for a few miles on the Banks Vernonia trail before getting onto some rural gravel backroads. Due to the wet weather we didn't have to contend with dust or even thick mud, just rim eating fine grime. The road we were exploring was Strassel Rd which was pretty nice. While it was steep in parts and forced us to walk here and there, it would be no problem on a geared bike. There was very little traffic and no rabid dogs. It was definitely beautiful in spots but as always when on back roads heading out to the coast, sections of clearcut here and there which are rather depressing. We enjoyed a nice descent on Strassel Rd which spilled us out onto Timber Rd where we resumed climbing although with no need to walk. Timber Rd is fantastic, probably one of my favorite roads in the area although just far enough away that I don't ride it too often. There was minimal traffic which included a few logging trucks but they generally gave us a wide berth. We rode into Vernonia for coffee and lunch and then returned to Hillsboro via the 18 mile Banks Vernonia trail and then back roads. The proof: http://www.flickr.com/photos/41335973@N00/sets/72157633053478798/with/8576784877/ I definitely want to do some more exploration into the coast range as spring moves along. There's definitely a lot of potential for dirt road rambles although without a car there's just no way of avoiding long days on the road which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Oh, same as last week. Neither of us were on Rivs but there were plenty of RBW purchased accessories. I wouldn't hesitate to do this ride on my Hilsen. I just ended up riding the SS again in solidarity with Ed whose geared bike (Rawland) isn't running. --mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Scratching an itch...26 to 650b All Rounder...with PICS!
It stays fluidish longer for sure inside the tube. My tubeless 29er seems to dry up @ 4-5 months, but I have a set of 700c tubes I did almost a year ago and they're still wet but don't seem to pool up. I figure if I can get a riding season out of a tube, I'm cool just making a fresh one when it does go flat/dries out. Considering the number of thorns I pull out of the tires, I'm happy with how well the Stans works. I top off the PSI maybe every 3rd ride, but rarely have they full on flatted. I did have one debacle when I decided to refresh the sealant in a tube that flatted...I had forgotten that I originally injected it with a Blue Bontrager sealant (crappy stuff btw) and I added Stans. Apparently the 2 liquids did not play nice together and created a solid mass inside the tube! Not the normal Stans boogers...the tube looked like a snake that had just eaten a mouse!

Re: [RBW] Re: Scratching an itch...26 to 650b All Rounder...with PICS!
Agreed. I'm not expecting or insinuating that going 650 on this will drastically transform the bike. But having ridden both wheel sizes with multiple different tires, I find the 650b feels more efficient on the smooth stuff. I did not measure the actual difference, but the 650x41 inflated on a wheel sitting next to the 26x1.95 (49) was certainly taller. I'm sure this would vary considerably depending on the actual inflated tires being compared. My buddy LOVES converted old Stumpys! As for conversions, I've only done a 27 UJB to 700c. It worked out really well with only changing the wheels and adding a long reach tektro sidepull.

Re: [RBW] Re: Scratching an itch...26 to 650b All Rounder...with PICS!
Keeps ya healthy! I actually only use about 1-1.5 oz in the 700c / 26x1 tubes. I have a Stanz quart jug that I dispense into a 2oz squeeze bottle with a yorker cap. I cut the tip off the yorker so it essentially threads down onto the valve stem. I barely file the top off the valve stem so I can remove the nut, let the core drop down just inside the tube and squirt the sealant in while pinching the core to prevent it from falling into tube. I do all this with the tube laying flat on the table so if the core falls all the way out of the stem into the tube it's easy to work back into place. I can do a set of tubes in @ 10 minutes. I also dig into the wifes nailpolish and paint a stripe on the valve stem just below the cap so I know I've sealed it. I rinse out the 2oz bottle and just reuse it for the next set.

Re: [RBW] are there any true 700x40 plush, high tpi tires?
It's pretty darn hard to improve upon Jack Browns! A 40-42mm JB would be a pretty damn fine tire! A 40-42mm folding Pasela w/out Tourguard would be a pretty damn fine second choice as well!

$190 obo Rivendell Assembled Albatross Upright Handlebar Setup - Nitto Stem, Shimano Brakes, Cork Grips, Silver Supermix Bar End Shifters- New This handlebar setup was originally built and installed by Rivendell. The parts are in new pristine condition. It was installed on an A. Homer Hilsen build (this frame is also for sale, please contact me for pricing/photos etc. if you’re interested). However, the bike was never used and ended up sitting in storage for a number of years. I can potentially split these components up but it would mean cutting off the beautiful cork grips (and twine wrapping job from Rivendell) from the handlebars. Without tax, these components were purchased for $246 from Rivendell and I’ve noticed some of their prices have since gone up. At $190, this handlebar package is a great opportunity to upgrade a current setup or complete a build with this Rivendell-assembled setup. That said, if you really don’t think you want all these parts as a package, email me which parts you are interested and I can send you a price. However, I’ll give preference to those who just want to buy the whole package.

Re: [RBW] Re: Scratching an itch...26 to 650b All Rounder...with PICS!
I've done the valve core insertion myself, with Slime. I just force the locknut off with pliers and let the core drop into the abyss of the tube -- it's easy enough to work it back up once you're done. Of course, if your tubes have removable cores, you are all set. FWIW, I tried inserting Slime tin a small slit in the tube but never could keep the surface free of the gunk, and it absolutely repels patches. But here is my question: how do you get sealant (Stan's, fwiw) into a *tubular tire* that doesn't have removable valve cores? -- Particularly if the tires are narrow racing tires and too shallow to let the core drop fully into the carcase? It's largely this that is holding up the final build of my Ram -- while I wait for my brother to bring back an inexpensive set of clincher wheels from LA.

[RBW] Seeing if any SF Bay Area web friends want to go riding when I visit the area this week
Hey Everyone, I'll be figuring out some kind of fun riding, probably with my Hunqapillar, on Tuesday and Wednesday of this coming week. I might even do an overnighter Tuesday night, maybe at the Marin Headlands Hostel. Also thinking of exploring the dirt roads on the Peninsula like Montebello and Alpine. But I'm open to anything. Anybody want to join in? -Jim W. James Warren jimcwar...@earthlink.net - 700x55 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Seeing if any SF Bay Area web friends want to go riding when I visit the area this week
Midweek it'll be impossible for me, unless you end up in the South Bay
around 5ish and wish to take a slowish ride from San Jose to Palo Alto
along the Bay Trail. You could take the train to San Jose and meet me on
the Guadalupe Trail, but with the plans you have it's not such a hot
option.

Re: [RBW] Seeing if any SF Bay Area web friends want to go riding when I visit the area this week
I'm definitely interested. I love going up to Montebello on my Atlantis. I also like Alpine and Windy Hill.

Re: [RBW] Re: are there any true 700x40 plush, high tpi tires?
Yeah, hose look like good options. Still not semi-slicks though. Probably perfect for multi-surface type riding.

[RBW] Dahon Folding Bike For Sale
OK, perhaps not the most Riv-ish bike in the world, but a great little bike--particularly if you use BART or other public transit. Folded down, it fits in places your AHH or Atlantis never will ... Riv members who aren't local can contact me for shipping cost (price quoted is for local pickup in the Sacramento/Davis/Dixon Metroplex). Offered for sale is a Dahon Curve folding bike, in near-perfect condition. Cool-looking curved aluminum frame, Sturmey-Archer 3-speed shifting. Fully BART compliant for use on their trains at all times (including commute times when normal bikes are not allowed). Folds down in a few seconds, adjusts to all size riders. Bought this in 2007 after seeing one in a bike shop in Belgium, but it has been ridden not nearly enough to justify keeping it around. Comes with the rack-mounted trunk bag *and* the cool soccer ball bell, purchased at a tiny hole-in-the-wall bike shop in Paris, France. Official info from Dahon, including detailed specifications, is here: http://www.dahon.com/bikes/2010/curve-d3 Photos here in slideshow format: http://www.flickr.com/photos/campyonlyguy/sets/72157633069343481/show/ Photos with captions: http://www.flickr.com/photos/campyonlyguy/sets/72157633069343481/with/8584265042/ Price: $450, including everything shown in the photos. --Eric campyonly...@me.com www.campyonly.com www.wheelsnorth.org Blog: http://campyonlyguy.blogspot.com Twitter: @campyonlyguy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Dahon Folding Bike For Sale
This is Dahon's 16-inch-wheel Brompton killer. A very cool little bike at a very nice little price. Somebody be a sport and buy it so I don't have to convince myself I need another Dahon (just bought one). Joe Davis is a half hour drive from here Bernard Vallejo, CA.
