[RBW] Re: Yet another post on shimmy
I would 2nd the suggestion to check the head set. Even if it feels ok tighten it a smidge. michael On Monday, April 22, 2013 12:37:40 PM UTC-4, Tonester wrote: You might try making sure your headset is adjusted properly.

I thought I'd get some ideas on a recent shimmy development. Here is the scenario: Rider specs: John Height: 5'11 Weight: 150 soaking wet PBH: 88.9 SH: apprx 78.5 cm I ride a 60 cm. Sam HIll. I Never experienced shimmy with the stock build: Shimano deore front and rear hubs, Velocity synergy wheels, (35 cm panaracer pasella tires), noodle handlebars, SKS Longboard fenders, etc. I ride with a nitto mini front rack, nitro rear rack (the one for saddlebag support, not panniers). I ride with a Baggins Adam saddlebag. No front bag as yet because I haven't found one to fit the distance between the front rack and handlebars (I'm not particularly interested in buying a nitro F-15 rack, but instead covet a Berthoud rando bag - yet I don't know if the 28cm size will fill the gap. ) Nothing unusual for a Rivendell. Now, for the recent developments: Swapped the old wheel (Velocity Synergy) for a newly built Velocity Synergy with dynohub (Shimano Alfine). Have a lightweight BM Cyo light attatched to the right (rider's right while riding) of the rack. Switched from 35cm Panaracers to 33.3 Jack Brown Greens. Got the JBs to fit under Hono because I had issues with the Longboards on two different sets: (rubbing, chattering, due to inherent fleibility) . I also shortened the stem just a hair, to see if doing so would help alleviate some forearm discomfort I'd been having. (The old setup was stem height equidistant to saddle height.) Now the stem height is slightly below saddle height. That's it. Now: experiencing some shimmy (and less overall feeling of stability) while riding no hands sitting upright. This does not occur all the time, but it's noticeable. The response doesn't happen all the time, but still, it's there, and unnerving when it does. This response almost never happened with my old, original setup. Frustrating! Because I much prefer dyno lighting for any number of reasons, and wanted to run narrower tires to better fit underneath Honjo fenders, which I much prefer to Longboards. My upgrades were plenty expensive, too! And a pain in the neck, and time away from the bike. Still, I want what I want: the best Riv ride possible. Is there an inherent compromise here? Am I missing something? And if it is the new developments, where is the problem? Stem height? Wheel weight? Tire width? Any comments? Clues? Suggestions? I'll continue to ride and see how it goes, but honestly, as much as I like the changes I've made (except for the need to run thinner tires with is not optimal for me), I'd go back to the original set up if it meant the end to shimmy. I do not like to shimmy! Yes, obviously I will start with the easy stuff first. As in, I'll raise the stem and see what happens (or doesn't). After that, I'm frustrated. Very frustrated. Suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Not a Riv frame, but a tall vintage Raleigh - essentially 64cm - a tall 11-liter rando bag on mini Nitto front rack with Bertoud 121mm horizontal decaleur. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v728/bulldog1935/Raleigh/aP4130005.jpg Decaleur came from Boulder cycles (renehersestore.com). The decaleurs come in 91mm and 121mm. I determined the correct length of the decaleur up front, by measuring the bag height above my rack, handwaving that spot in space, then measured distance from the stem bolt to the hand-waving spot.

Re: [RBW] Re: Yet another post on shimmy
I have two road bikes and they both shimmy, so I sort of feel like a crash test dummy for the shimmy phenomena. Wind seems to makes things worse as do imperfections in the road surface. My racing bike has tried to kill me on occasion. My Rivendell scares me when it starts to shimmy, but it doesn't approach the level of violence that my racing bike exhibits. I can keep riding my Rivendell at the same speed when it starts to shimmy and not crash. Although, with both bikes the shimmy scares me enough that I rapidly scrub speed until the shimmy stops. On my racing bike that usually means scrubbing speed from ~40mph to under 15mph while I hang on for dear life. I ride large frames and I attribute the shimmy to the greater flex in the longer tubes. Based on my experiences, I believe tubes need to be stiffer as frames get larger. Using the same tube set on a 56cm and a 65cm frame seems problematic to me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Have the same VO rack on my daughter's bike and we use the decaleur to attach a rattan basket, for which it works great. But think about this for your 12-liter bag - the entire vertical mass of your loaded bag would act in torsion on the your fork bolt, and gravity would help (in a bad way). You need a secondary attachment point - either the stem-mounted decaleur or the headset-mounted decaleur.

Wind seems to makes things worse as do imperfections in the road surface. My racing bike has tried to kill me on occasion. My Rivendell scares me when it starts to shimmy, but it doesn't approach the level of violence that my racing bike exhibits. I can keep riding my Rivendell at the same speed when it starts to shimmy and not crash. Although, with both bikes the shimmy scares me enough that I rapidly scrub speed until the shimmy stops. On my racing bike that usually means scrubbing speed from ~40mph to under 15mph while I hang on for dear life. The usual cures for speed wobble involve getting your butt up off the saddle a little, and clamping the top tube with your knees.

[RBW] Re: What'r you using for cush on your Moustache Bars under your tape?
I think M'bars are great. I rode them for awhile and decided they just need a few tweeks. The first idea was to add some dummy levers like Michael did here https://plus.google.com/photos/103981529889931022618/albums/5673817453958735041?banner=pwa But the dummies weren't quite as good as just a longer flat portion of the bar near the stem. And I missed a flat ramp that flows into the brake levers. And I wanted more of a drop when in the drops. Finally it would be good if these re-designed bars would be maybe $15 cheaper. Eventually I found this improved bar, here it is! http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/hb1.htm -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Cinelli Cork...and my X0-1 and A/R have sone foam cutouts on the underside of the swept back part of the bar. So I don't use gloves, usually. On my PX-10 SS it's just cotton tape from VO. In that case I wear gloves. I need a some padding. Not much, but some New M-bar prototype looks intriguing; I may order then when they come in. Funny about moustaches, people either love 'em or hate 'em. I don't do as many longer 50+ rides as I used to twenty years ago when I first got my X0-1 and my experience then was that for longer rides of 50+ miles, I preferred drops.I have the old Dream Bars on my road bike...not sure whether I'll switch to moustachesor maybe I should give those Noodles a shot.Still thinking about it but have not ridden my road Riv as much.

[RBW] Re: FS: 56 cm Atlantis
Matt, the frame, fork, stem, and touch up paint arrived safely today. Thanks for a great transaction. I felt like a kid opening the coolest looking Christmas present. My wife had a dubious look on her face as I unpacked the box. In her defense, our screened porch contains my Surly LHT, 1975/76 Motobecane, a bike my 13 year old son and I are building up together for him, and all the parts and tools needed for that build. I really have no need for another bike, but I have wanted an Atlantis for several years. However, when my wife saw the frame her expression changed, and she exclaimed, Wow! That is classic looking. I love the color. I would like to ride a bike that color! Fortunatley for me, the bike is not her size. :) Although there may be a Riv in her future. I will be patiently thinking through the build and collecting the right parts; so it will be longer than I would like before I get the bike on the road. Plus, I have to complete my son's bike,first.

[RBW] Re: 64cm Rambouillet - Handlebar bag/decaleur combinations
Ron, thanks for the nice write-up. Do you have issues with reaching into the handlebar bag and having the bottom be really far away. For example, while riding, could you reach a ClifBar that had gone to the bottom? Also, do you mind the top of the bag not being close to the handlebar height? I normally ride a 66-68cm frame, and have still not figure out a great method. Currently, I'm using an Ortlieb KlickFix handlebar mount which is a good size, the reach is shallow and is easily accessible, but it still wobbles around a bit while riding. http://www.flickr.com/photos/jpbikeresearch/8498690332/in/photostream Geoff Boston, MA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: 64cm Rambouillet - Handlebar bag/decaleur combinations
Thanks a lot Ron. I actually tried to buy the Acorn tall rando bag yesterday but was too slow. Those are hard to get a hold of. I go to the Rene Herse shop quite a bit so I'll take my bike and try it out. Thanks for the info.

The decaleurs come in 91mm and 121mm. I determined the correct length of the decaleur up front, by measuring the bag height above my rack, handwaving that spot in space, then measured distance from the stem bolt to the hand-waving spot. Nailed it pretty well, in the end, it required about a quarter-inch drop on my handlebar stem to flat the bag on the rack. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v728/bulldog1935/Raleigh/aP1210001.jpg Very happy with this hardware.

[RBW] Re: FS: 56 cm Atlantis
Weth: If your wife likes the color, be prepared to buy an Atlantis as soon as she rides one. My wife I stumbled into a 47 cm Atlantis a couple of years ago. She wasn't thinking about a new bike went along to humor me. After about 5 minutes riding around a parking lot, she returned with a big grin on her face said I WANT THIS BIKE!. She's not a bike nerd thought my infatuation with Rivendell was harmless.

I love the color. I would like to ride a bike that color! Fortunatley for me, the bike is not her size. :) Although there may be a Riv in her future.

Re: [RBW] Re: My new (to me) Atlantis on a local ride in NJ
My Atlantis recently celebrated its 10th birthday, and has only been sans rack for short periods of time. I really like the look of the bike without all the clutter of racks'n'bags, but reality sets in. I just never know when I need to bring home a few lasagnas or take a large package to the PO. A properly equipped bicycle can bring home more stuff than it left with. The beauty of a small bag with a large rack is you have lots of room to carry other stuff, and you may be able to mount panniers without disturbing the bag. dougP (overthinking racks'n'bags for decades now) On Thursday, April 25, 2013 3:31:24 PM UTC-7, djbardwil wrote: Thanks to all for the compliments, and the bag/rack overkill comment made me laugh - evoked the image of a small hat on a big head!
