[RBW] Large SaddleSack Initial Impressions
I just did my initial ride with the Large SaddleSack. Since I am very familiar with 15 months of using my small and xs SaddleSacks, as well as the TourSacks, I know and trust the heartiness and rain/snow proof (I can trust my stuff will stay dry without any added liners). For me, the best gear becomes invisible when using it, so I only interact or notice it when I am putting stuff in or taking stuff out, and even then it should be simple and without hassle. That's certainly what my Hunqapiller does. My only issue with the small SaddleSack is it is simply too small for carrying a full day's worth of clothing and gear (shade tarp) for the range of weather the Colorado Rockies tosses my way (40˚F temp range, sun, rain, snow, hail, sleet are all possible in some combination, no matter what the forecast calls for). Loading it is simple. Minimal thought and brain energy required. As others have commented, it's one big cavernous maw and you just fill it. Wonder where your stuff is? One place. That's big. Taking less? It does that well too. Taking more than goes inside? Irish straps and the d-rings on top take care of that. Lock, Irish straps and miscellaneous always carry items fit graciously in the side pockets. Maps in the removable pocket on top. I think I've found the one bag (along with the xs on the front) that will live on my Hunqapillar and look forward to getting it's loving abuse started.

[RBW] Re: Cowboy Trail Update
The Ride was great. We didn't go all the way to Valentine but had a great time none the less. Our first day was facing 35 mph winds and goatheads. There were 6 flats on the first day. Five of those to one person. Eventually she would have 9 flats over the trip. She was riding old JB's that I had thrown on the Holdsworth to loan her for the trip unaware and thoughtless to thorns.The only two bikes that didn't have flats were of course the Marathon Plus Supremes. I had two flats and Dawn 1 flat running Marathon Supremes. Others had a flat each running a wide spectrum of tires. All accept the JB's had some level of puncture protection. After two days out we stopped to take a detour to the Digs about 28 miles outside of Atkinson. Then a rider got sick and with another big day of winds nobody did anything accept party and go to the carnival. The next day we went on to Stewart and turned around as big storms were due for the weekend. We split the group with half going on to the digs and the rest of us doing the direct route back to Neligh. Talk about sweet... imagine averaging 20+ mph on a fully loaded tour bike without working up a sweat for the 40 mile day. We were on the road/hwy shoulder not the trail for this hammer fest since there was a washed out bridge and the trial was about 20 yards to the side of the road. We had a great selection of bikes as well. 2 Hilbornes, 1 Atlantis (Dawn my Wife) 1 Bombadil (me), 1 Bruce Gordon, 1 Long Haul Trucker, 1 Kona, 1 Giant OCR (my old tour bike that was sold) and 1 Holdsworth (a loaner from me that hasn't sold yet) All the bikes did great and a good time had by all.

One of their mechanics fitted all the components to the Schwinn, but I rode the bike maybe three time for a total of two hours tops. Tried to sell it, but evidently the market's pretty thin for a bike kitted like this one was. I sent it back to Rivendell, where all the components were taken off and the original Campy stuff was re-installed. The items are listed on the invoice; my goal is to recapture at least 50% of the price I paid. Ideally someone has a nice frame just ready for the first-class Rivendell Treatment!

Re: [RBW] Large SaddleSack Initial Impressions
What you can't see well in Patrick's superb pictures is the inner flap. The Large Saddlesack has the front to rear flap that buckles down, nicely visible in the first two pictures. But it also has another inner flap that goes from rear to front; it is opened and hanging down in Patrick's first picture. When you overstuff the Large, the front flap doesn't cover your entire load. But that's OK, because the rear flap flaps forward and holds it all in. Maybe I'm not explaining well, but that rear flap is genius; it wraps up your load and keeps it all together.

Re: [RBW] Large SaddleSack Initial Impressions
The Medium has this flap, too and I agree, it's a great design addition. I've overstuffed my Medium so that outer and inner flaps barely meet, but as long as you can get a strap to hold the outer flap in place over the inner one -- either the stock ones or a carry-along (I use an Irish) you can practically double the load of the M. But the Medium (the largest I'd want for my purposes) is too small in the opening and too flat in height to be a true alternative to a good pannier. I will add though that in my considerable experience, the M is certainly the best no-rack saddlebag I've owned and, with careful packing (and that's the rub) can carry almost as much as a single Ortlieb Packer.

The Large Saddlesack has the front to rear flap that buckles down, nicely visible in the first two pictures.

[RBW] Re: SFR Dart Ride from June 8
How often do you shift the S3X on a ride like that? And in general, too. How steep or long does a climb have to be to make you shift? I found myself shifting once or twice on country rides for hills, but fairly often in town for stoplights. It looks like your friend is rolling with gears - do you ride together mostly, or is there a yo-yo effect where you drop back and pass each other? I'm thinking of putting an S3X back on my Quickbeam in order to ride with some workmates at lunch. Three gears are overkill for my Santa Rosa - Petaluma commute, and I wonder if I should just rig up a geared/coastable bike to ride with folks and leave the Quickbeam alone.

[RBW] Re: So.Cal Vs Nor.Cal Rumble ?
Have a look at these routes: http://mountainbikeslocounty.com/ One of the great features of this area is a lot of back roads that are lightly traveled and go thru scenic areas. While there's plenty of interesting un-paved stuff to choose from, even the paved bits getting there are pretty nice. The suggestion of Old Stagecoach up to Towers is excellent. This is the ridgeline between Oso Valley and the valley where Paso Atascadero are. One possible return is down Poly Canyon into the university. I continued on the ridgeline to Hwy 41 on to Morro Bay. This requires crossing a not-for-the-faint-of-heart rock slide (David, you ARE doing this!). Total loop is roughly 40 odd miles, give or take. I've done See Cyn from both sides suggest coming from the Avila Beach end. The climb is more shaded more interesting, and you do the dirt on the way up. Toward the end it ramps up steeply just before the summit, so you sort of pop out on top and have this amazing view of Morro Rock to one side and the Oso Valley to the other. You then get to enjoy a screaming downhill on pavement with decent sitelines, etc. Mitch's comments have encountered some interweb interference, so if they don't pop up shortly I'll just copy paste them, with appropriate attribution of course.

[RBW] Re: Alba/R559/Shimano Silver levers set-up question
The only thing I can think of is that you don't need to set the pads super-close like some Shimano SLR road levers require. You can give the rims wiggle room, and the levers will still grab plenty of brake before bottoming out on the bar.

Next I want to try Alba's with the Shimano Silver MTB levers as in the stock riv build for that kit. The bars and levers arrive tomorrow hopefully in the mail. Any tips for setting up the brake levers with my Tektro R559 sidepull brakes? Pretty straightforward? Anything to look out for? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: SFR Dart Ride from June 8
Phil: In its current configuration, I have a White Industries Eno freewheel on the S3X hub, making it work like a standard 3-speed hub (e.g., coasting). With hundreds of miles of testing on this system, it has proven to be quite reliable. My hunch is that since the S3X hub doesn't have pawls inside, it's a less complicated and more reliable system. The White Industries freewheel is pretty bomb-proof. Being able to coast meant that it was easier to stick with my Dart team members on the downhills, which is where fixies are at a disadvantage. Anyway ... on the 200K this past weekend (and the Davis Double a few weeks ago ... 200 miles with 7,000 feet of climbing), I used the top gear about 95% of the time. On the ride to Berkeley, I didn't feel the need to gear down (I'm running a 46x16 setup) until we climbed the hills south of Berkeley. There was one steep pitch above 15% that I needed to walk up for a few yards, but other than that I was able to ride the entire way. Your mileage, of course may vary; I've been riding fixed gears over very tough courses for almost a decade now, so I'm accustomed to pushing a big gear.

And in general, too. How steep or long does a climb have to be to make you shift? I found myself shifting once or twice on country rides for hills, but fairly often in town for stoplights. It looks like your friend is rolling with gears - do you ride together mostly, or is there a yo-yo effect where you drop back and pass each other? I'm thinking of putting an S3X back on my Quickbeam in order to ride with some workmates at lunch. Three gears are overkill for my Santa Rosa - Petaluma commute, and I wonder if I should just rig up a geared/coastable bike to ride with folks and leave the Quickbeam alone.

[RBW] Re: Alba/R559/Shimano Silver levers set-up question
Thanks. Sounds good. I have centerpulls on my Bleriot with Tiagra Road Levers, and the centerpull pads are further from the rims like you describe. They work great and easy to get aligned without worrying about tight pad clearance being necessary. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: So.Cal Vs Nor.Cal Rumble ?
So what kind of timetable are people planning? Arrive on Friday night or Saturday Morning? Trying to figure out if someone should reserve a campsite for Friday night. I'm planning on arriving on the 100pm Surfliner on Friday from LA. There is also one that arrives from LA @ 830pm. The Coast Starlight arrives at 320pm from SF. There is a hostel near the train station in SLO, but bike parking is outside. it's 16 miles to Morro Bay from the Amtrak Station if we stay there. ~mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
