 I just finished a great 300k in Whatcom county (furthermost north/west

 flic.kr/s/aHsjA7EhD5 nestled between Mt. Baker and Mt. Shuksan. It was
 brutal but beautiful climbing up to the clouds and snow!  From there, we
 headed back down on an amazing (and fast) descent the way we came up.  I
 stopped to take some pics I missed on the way up, filled up on coconut
 water, and then headed north through blueberry and raspberry fields to the
 Canadian border, and West to Peace Arch Park at the border crossing and the
 Pacific Ocean. After a nice jaunt along the coast, we headed back home. I
 suffered on the last 100k with a left knee that wasn't cooperating, and a
 front derailer that broke after the Baker climb, but I mustered that last
 50 miles and enjoyed the feeling of pulling in after a full day of awesome
 scenery in perfect weather!

Awesome score Tony.Like others have said a trade for a 61 could 
probably be found without much trouble, but then again the Atlantis has a 
low BB and a slacker ST angle, so even with fat tires you might end up 
fitting fine on it.   Either way you are definitely in the ballpark so

 Anywho, I bought it, via ebay from the original owner, who rode it as a 
 daily commuter for 20+ years and across the US twice. When it arrived, I 
 found the the seat tube was cracked where the post was inserted. Judging by 
 the dents in the set post, it looked like someone at the shop that packed 
 the bike used a big set of Channel Lock pliers to twist a stuck post out.

 I took the bike to Bilenky Cycle works in Philly and they fixed the crack 
 and did an amazing job of matching the paint around the seat lug. It is 
 nice that steel frame can be repaired.

 Anyway, I just put a new Nitto stem on from another list member and 
 managed to get a set of cream Longboards on it. Fenders w/ 29mm tires on 
 this bike were bit of challenge/puzzle but it all worked out in the end. 
 Also after talking w/ Grant at Riv HQ on the phone, he reminded me that it 
 was easy to modify the Shimano bar end pods and a couple of down tube 
 shifter stops to convert the original Suntour micro-ratchet shifters to bar 
 ends. They work great and the bike ride really nicely.

 The 'treat' was the frame itself in this case!! :)  In the end though I

I'd be ok doing it again and having him check my work, definitely not as 
fast and (I'm sure) amazing as a Rich-built set but I like getting my hands

Re: [RBW] Re: Stan's to Paris-Roubaixs on Ram

2013-08-05 Thread Steven Frederick
I'm pretty sold on the stuff.  After a couple of recent experiences even
more so.  I went to fix a slow leak in a Hetre-shod tube, and once I found
the hole, I realized my tube glue was dried out.  Again.  Then I noticed
that the tube had a removable core so I removed said core, added a jigger
of Stan's, pumped up the bare tube enough to roughly triple it's size
shook/spun it for a moment, and the hole sealed right up.  I then deflated
and installed it, and promptly added Stan's to all the tubes I could (that
had removable cores).

A few days later, riding my new Stag with Stan-tubed PariMotos, I heard a
juicy hissing sound when riding through a rough, gravely road construction
area.  It stopped after a few revolutions and I pressed on.  Then I heard
it again.  It again quickly stopped and on I went.  When I stopped at a
park a mile or two later I spun the wheel and found a notable cut in the
casing.  The tire was still damp around it but it was holding air fine.  On
I went.

I've had similar experiences with my tubeless mountain bike tires as well.

Q-tubes brand tubes (QBP?) all seem to have removable cores.  I won't buy
any that don't feature them from now on!  Like these:

http://www.ebikestop.com/q_tubes_650b_x_35_43mm_32mm_presta_valve_tube_584mm_etrto-TU6870.php

You can kind of tell when Stan's needs refreshing by putting your ear by
the bottom of the tire (in a repair stand or whatever) and spinning it.  If
you hear a liquid running sound, you're good.  If you hear more of a
rolling debris sort of sound, it could probably use an ounce or two.  When
in doubt, if it's been hot or you haven't topped it off in a couple of
months, it can't hurt to dump in a little.  Add a little if you get a bad
puncture, too--you always lose some before it seals.

Steve


On Sat, Aug 3, 2013 at 11:41 AM, Patrick Moore bertin...@gmail.com wrote:

 Thanks. That is the one problem, so far, with Stan's -- having to monitor
 the drying. I use it in tubes, so at worst it will mean replacing a pair
 every 3 months or so, but at the rate I was getting flats before Stan's,
 that is considerably less than the cost in patches that I was using.

 FWIW, a search for correct amount of Stan's led to a quote from a Stan's
 rep who said, in effect, 2 oz for every tire. I put just 1 oz in my 30 mm
 P-R, and the full 2 in 55 mm Exiwolfs.

 On Fri, Aug 2, 2013 at 11:50 AM, Ron Mc bulldog...@gmail.com wrote:

 I usually pump my tires every 3 to 4 days - latex tubes go down by
 definition.  It went flat a few hours after I pumped it, and it had been
 two weeks since I rode it.  Another charge of Stans, pumped it up and spun
 the wheel for awhile.  After 3 days it's holding solid.  Seems unlikely
 it's a new hole since I didn't ride the bike, so I assumed the old one
 dried out.  All is good for now.

 How did you discover that it had dried? Flats? Or no spray from the valve?

beautiful build. I'm surprised at how different the AHH looks with the R-26 
vs Big Rear Rack. How do you like the Hold Fast Straps? I'm thinking of 
getting them for my winter fixie commuter (instead of traditional toe clips 
and straps, which have totally rusted out now).

Re: [RBW] Re: Stan's to Paris-Roubaixs on Ram

2013-08-05 Thread Patrick Moore
Great stuff, innit? About non-removable Presta cores: it's not hard, just a
 bit more inconvenient, to remove them, and you ought to have all of your
equipment near at hand: Stan's with nozzle, pliers, rag.

Hod the tube with secondary hand pinching tube just below valve core.
Unscrew the locknut as far as possible. Use pliers to force nut off post.
Let core drop into tube, catching and holding it with secondary hand.
Insert nozze of Stan's dispenser over stem, add sealant, wipe as needed,
then use both hands to coax core back up the stem -- I push the stem down
over the core and then carefully invert stem to let core fall back into
place. Push locknut back onto post and use pliers to force back onto
threads. Voila.

On Mon, Aug 5, 2013 at 7:32 AM, Steven Frederick stl...@gmail.com wrote:

 I'm pretty sold on the stuff.  After a couple of recent experiences even
 more so.  I went to fix a slow leak in a Hetre-shod tube, and once I found
 the hole, I realized my tube glue was dried out.  Again.  Then I noticed
 that the tube had a removable core so I removed said core, added a jigger
 of Stan's, pumped up the bare tube enough to roughly triple it's size
 shook/spun it for a moment, and the hole sealed right up.  I then deflated
 and installed it, and promptly added Stan's to all the tubes I could (that
 had removable cores).

 A few days later, riding my new Stag with Stan-tubed PariMotos, I heard a
 juicy hissing sound when riding through a rough, gravely road construction
 area.  It stopped after a few revolutions and I pressed on.  Then I heard
 it again.  It again quickly stopped and on I went.  When I stopped at a
 park a mile or two later I spun the wheel and found a notable cut in the
 casing.  The tire was still damp around it but it was holding air fine.  On
 I went.

 I've had similar experiences with my tubeless mountain bike tires as well.

 Q-tubes brand tubes (QBP?) all seem to have removable cores.  I won't buy
 any that don't feature them from now on!  Like these:


 http://www.ebikestop.com/q_tubes_650b_x_35_43mm_32mm_presta_valve_tube_584mm_etrto-TU6870.php

 You can kind of tell when Stan's needs refreshing by putting your ear by
 the bottom of the tire (in a repair stand or whatever) and spinning it.  If
 you hear a liquid running sound, you're good.  If you hear more of a
 rolling debris sort of sound, it could probably use an ounce or two.  When
 in doubt, if it's been hot or you haven't topped it off in a couple of
 months, it can't hurt to dump in a little.  Add a little if you get a bad
 puncture, too--you always lose some before it seals.

 On Sat, Aug 3, 2013 at 11:41 AM, Patrick Moore bertin...@gmail.comwrote:

 Thanks. That is the one problem, so far, with Stan's -- having to monitor
 the drying. I use it in tubes, so at worst it will mean replacing a pair
 every 3 months or so, but at the rate I was getting flats before Stan's,
 that is considerably less than the cost in patches that I was using.

 FWIW, a search for correct amount of Stan's led to a quote from a
 Stan's rep who said, in effect, 2 oz for every tire. I put just 1 oz in
 my 30 mm P-R, and the full 2 in 55 mm Exiwolfs.

 On Fri, Aug 2, 2013 at 11:50 AM, Ron Mc bulldog...@gmail.com wrote:

 I usually pump my tires every 3 to 4 days - latex tubes go down by
 definition.  It went flat a few hours after I pumped it, and it had been
 two weeks since I rode it.  Another charge of Stans, pumped it up and spun
 the wheel for awhile.  After 3 days it's holding solid.  Seems unlikely
 it's a new hole since I didn't ride the bike, so I assumed the old one
 dried out.  All is good for now.

 How did you discover that it had dried? Flats? Or no spray from the
 valve?

 stopped to take some pics I missed on the way up, filled up on coconut

 50 miles and enjoyed the feeling of pulling in after a full day of awesome

Well, it's Monday. Is anyone else wondering if Cecily and Keven have been on 
the phone? Tell us how it goes/went, Cecily! I hope they've got the right size 
frame available so you don't have to wait! I remember ordering my Betty and 
Keven had to scrounge around the warehouse (or wherever it is that they keep 
the frames) to see if there was a 55. I nearly passed out when he called back 
to say he had found just the one! A week later the bike was built - I hope it 
goes as fast for you.

Lost. Who else has a bid for this Jam? 
If Bay Area wins. I don't mind trying to provide options for lodgings. 
China Camp is close enough and far away enough to find places in between.

 stopped to take some pics I missed on the way up, filled up on coconut

 suffered on the last 100k with a left knee that wasn't cooperating, and a 
 front derailer that broke after the Baker climb, but I mustered that last 
 50 miles and enjoyed the feeling of pulling in after a full day of awesome

Hey Brian,

Thanks, another thing to add to the 'inspection' process I guess. I haven't
put enough miles on a FD to get the outer plate fatigued yet.  I'd take
wearing out a piece of gear like that as a kind of satisfying... at least
once I was able to complete the ride at hand!

I hear you on the multi-day ride. My own goal in that regard is to do the
~70mile CO Canal trip from my place to Harpers Ferry, WV... spend the
night in a BB and then come back.  Trying to talk my wife into it!

Any Atlantis/Hunq riders out there that throw 29er tires on occasion? I'd

Yes, I am curious as to who has a bid in for this Jam as well.  As far as 
can tell, Jim Thill has the only close-to-formal-bid.  Fall in Northern 
Wisconsin/Michigan Upper Penninsula/Northern Lower Penninsula with 
camping.  While I can vouch for the beauty of these areas, I can also vouch 
that they are another day's drive from a major airport (MSP, Milwaukee, or 
Detroit)

I'd like to assist with a Minneapolis/St. Paul (MSP) bid during the summer 
but because this is the busiest time for me at work, I can't take the 
lead.  How many could do the week after Labor Day?  I would suggest a home 
base that's an hour or less from the airport along the st. croix river or 
mississippi river, etc.  (for MSP locals:  Stillwater, Redwing, Scandia, 
Marina on St. Croix, etc.)  There could be hotels, BB's, close camping, 
etc.  A good retreat center could be a good idea.  Anyone want to work on 
this with me?

 The rack works fine with my size 11.5 feet and my Arkel Utility Basket

+1 on gaffer tape being a superior product for not leaving gooey residue. 
 But very elegant glued-on shrink-fit tubing can be a super elegant 
solution.  The famous Anton Tutter does wiring jobs for rando bikes, most 
notably JPWeigle.  You can seek out his shrink-fit solutions on flickr.  I 
can't post flickr links from work but try looking for somervillebikes as

Re: [RBW] QVARE ALICUNDE EMAS

2013-08-05 Thread Patrick Moore
That's it. I'm no Latin scholar and can't quite figure out the subjunctive
use of emere (emas -- the indicative is emis) but it is second person
singular.

I'd say, Why would you shop elsewhere?

It may be somewhat dog latin-y.

That's pretty slick...  but still, if the wiring is black, you can see the

Absolutely do not use Duct (or Duck) tape on bikes unless you are miles 
from anywhere and that's the only way out.  It makes for a nasty clean up.  
Still, I do have a length of it wrapped onto a small dowel...

But, YES on Gaffer's Tape.  That is wonderful stuff. 

Also - the other item I found is Rescue Tape which comes in several 
colors and clear.  It is a self-fusing silicone wrap which I've used to 
water-restrict openings and attachments.  The stuff is pretty cool.

[RBW] Re: duct tape to enamel paint

2013-08-05 Thread SMP
Duly noted on the duct/duck tape.

Thanks for pointing me to the Rescue Tape.  I think clear option might be 
the best bet for me, if the pink Gaffer isn't a good match for my frame.  I 
might just get it to have it around--looks super handy!

 Still, I do have a length of it wrapped onto a small dowel...

 But, YES on Gaffer's Tape.  That is wonderful stuff. 

 Also - the other item I found is Rescue Tape which comes in several 
 colors and clear.  It is a self-fusing silicone wrap which I've used to 
 water-restrict openings and attachments.  The stuff is pretty cool.

Yes, I would like to take you up on the sample tape--will send you an email

 I'm not sure how well the color will match, so I think the only solution

 If you do want a half-meter of tape, I would just stick it to wax paper 
 and put it in a flat envelope.  It would only cost a few dollars to mail to 
 Europe, I think.  You pay for the postage and I will donate the tape.

 Since you are quite the tape expert, could you perhaps see from these

Re: [RBW] Re: duct tape to enamel paint

2013-08-05 Thread pcb


 Hopefully this won't get me banned from the list, but I've been using 
self-fusing silicone tape to finish my gel tape bar wraps for a few 
years now. Three strikes for me already for not using cotton tape, 
twine and shellac... 
It's available in colors, though I only do black bar wrap (strike 4?), 
so black silicone tape. It's fast and neat, you cut about a 6 length, 
stretch it tight as you wind around the bar, next to the handlebar 
ferrule. Since it has no adhesive, there's no oozing adhesive later, 
like electrical tape, and since it fuses/sticks to itself, it never 
peels or separates. Seems impervious to normal temperature extremes, 
doesn't loosen/degrade in hot temps or solidify/crack in low temps. 
Jersey temps, anyway, up to 100deg in summer, down to zero in winter. 
Never thought of it for lighting/computer cable wrap since the native 
width is 1, kinda wide for cable wrap. You could cut it lengthwise, I 
suppose, but being gel-like, it could be a little squirrely to cut 
lengthwise?

Doing a jump like that would be more fun if you put an (older, metal body)

Have done a few drops larger than that on my Hillborne.  Usually off curbs

[RBW] New blug question

2013-08-05 Thread Eric Platt
First off, really like the video.  Does a great job of showing how a person
can ride knowing the route like the back of a hand.  Although will admit to
being shocked (shocked, I say) that the bike actually has drop bars.  On a
Rivendell?  These days?

But the question - who is performing the music?  Really like the song.

[RBW] Re: Bleriot bb width with Sugino XD2 triple?

2013-08-05 Thread Dave Johnston
I think your typical shimano 113 is asymmetric so it only gives you the 3mm 
extra space on the non drive side over the 110mm BB. So if you need extra 
space on the drive side, you would need the 113 + a 2 mm spacer on the 
drive side. This is the setup I have on a 1993 MB-3, and I would think the 
Bleriot has narrower stays than an MB-3.

[RBW] Re: Bleriot bb width with Sugino XD2 triple?

2013-08-05 Thread Dave Johnston
I think I may have screwed that measurement up and the 113mm is 
asymmetrical with 3mm more on the drive side compared to the 110mm. The  
115mm is symmetrical and has the same drive side length as the 113mm, but 
has more on the non drive.

Not all cranks are symmetrical however so I'm not sure what is the best for 
the Sugino. I've used 110, 113, and 115 in the past with the XD-2, 
sometimes I use a spacer on the 1.5 - 2mm drive side for more granny gear 
clearance.

Thanks! I really like the Hold Fast straps and have them on a second bike

knee, so these are a welcome solution for me. I like pedal retention but I 
also like being able to ride in most any shoe in my closet. I am looking 
forward to warm feet this winter!

Patrick, I really like the way it handles. I would place it in between my

[RBW] Re: AHH 2.0 w/ Modern Looking Nitto Rack

2013-08-05 Thread Brian Campbell
Here are a couple of bad photos of how I did it.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/76454470@N05/8358830287/

It was a pretty simple job and I did not get worked up about it being pro 
level work. I removed the existing light's internals, sawed the Supernova 
tail light mounting tabs off so it would fit inside the housing, ran the 
wire out the back and used a heavy duty 2 part epoxy to attach the light 
the the back plate of the housing. after the epoxy cured. I surrounded the 
light w/ silicone to take up some dead space and to help adhere the light 
as well.

Since I run my wire's externally, I ran the wire over the fender and down 
the fender stay.

 added the Nitto R-26 rear rack, SON 28 wide body hub in Open Pro, (Peter 
 White built) and put a Supernova tail light in the Busch  Mueller tail 
 light housing. I was unaware, previously, that the Supernova headlight and 
 taillight were a matched pair and had to be used toghther.  Ran the wiring 
 along the front rack w/ Supernova quick disconnects.

 The rack works fine with my size 11.5 feet and my Arkel Utility Basket 
 rear bags. I do wish I could mount it lower without havint to cut it but 
 the mounting tang gets hung up on the rear quick release. I mat still make 
 the cut in the future, we'll see. Hope this link works.
