Re: [RBW] Re: Trying to decide on handle bars for my Hunqapillar
I have to put in a plug for the new revised moustache bars. They've quickly become my new favorite bar over drops or traditional moustache bars. I really like the wider grip and less reach over the old moustache bars. Mounted at saddle height, they're more comfortable on longer rides than riding in drops. Also, less need (for me) to use a shorter stem like traditional Mbars. Actually, they appear to be very closely shaped to inverted Alba bars, but for some reason I can't quite put my finger on, I still prefer them over those as well. Oh yeah, they're great on a Hunqapillar, for off road climbs and descents. Too bad RIv is already out of stock on these, but I'm hoping they'll be restocked by next month. In the meantime, if anyone has a pair that didn't work out for them, hit me up off list! Mike G.

I was very intrigued by the Salsa Fargo and its woodchipper drop bars. I do not plan on doing excessively long tours - mostly day long trips of several hours at a time. I was thinking of trying *drop bars* on the Hunqapillar. However, when I ride with my wife, she prefers a more leisurely ride, and this is where the moustache bars I found a bit less comfortable because I just really want to go faster. So, I was thinking of a more *MTB style or Nitto Bullmoose bar* to be a bit more upright. If I take the bike on rougher trails, I would think something like *Nitto Bullmoose* bars (more MTB style) would be best. I hadn't really consider the *Nitto Albatross *bars - how long are they for longer distances and rougher trails? I have noticed that a lot of Hunqapillar riders use the Albatross bars, and it has gotten a lot of good reviews. And Rivendell even features a rider on mountain trails using what looks like an Albatross bar on one of its videos! Some swear by another one, the *Nitto Bosco Bullmoose *bar, which sort of lends the above. Any opinions on what handle bar best serves me in all situations? Albatross? Other?

[RBW] Brooks Flyer quick fix please
I find that there are two adjustments I need to make to Brooks saddles when I first put them on a bike. Everyone knows about the up and down tilt that depends on how high your hands are in relation to the saddle. Equally important to me is the slight side to side adjustment of the nose which can depend on both my slightly assymetric hindquarters, as well as the break in of the leather. I usually tweek the saddle position as often as every 100 miles for the first 500. Another trick is to add Proofhide (or LL Bean waterproof boot wax which is what I use) on the side that is a bit stiff. There is variability in the hide around the saddle, and softening the harder spots can help.

Re: [RBW] Re: Ma Petite Betty
Cecily, with your gorgeous wonderful Betty, you don't actually need to get over your fear of diamond frame bikes. You are going to have a wonderful bike that lets you do a zillion bike things. If you never ride a diamond-frame bike, so what? I suspect that as you ride your Betty, you are going to get more comfortable, and you'll find that types of cycling you now have some trepidation about-- which might be for example, riding on gravel, riding down steep hills, riding up steep hills, or other scary bikey things-- will become less scary, and this might include riding a diamond-framed bike too. For me, taking it easy and trying new things gradually works better than forcing myself; that might be true for you too. I also find, and you might too, that riding with other people inspires me to go a little beyond my comfort zone (for example, er, riding down a long rocky muddy singletrack, ahem). It's important, though, to find like-minded riders who don't sneer at your bike and are comfortable riding at your pace. Looking forward to hearing about how your bike works out.

You are going to have a wonderful bike that lets you do a zillion bike things. If you never ride a diamond-frame bike, so what? I suspect that as you ride your Betty, you are going to get more comfortable, and you'll find that types of cycling you now have some trepidation about-- which might be for example, riding on gravel, riding down steep hills, riding up steep hills, or other scary bikey things-- will become less scary, and this might include riding a diamond-framed bike too. For me, taking it easy and trying new things gradually works better than forcing myself; that might be true for you too. I also find, and you might too, that riding with other people inspires me to go a little beyond my comfort zone (for example, er, riding down a long rocky muddy singletrack, ahem). It's important, though, to find like-minded riders who don't sneer at your bike and are comfortable riding at your pace. Looking forward to hearing about how your bike works out.

[RBW] OT: Japanese bed (shikibuton)
I'm seeking opinions and info on traditional Japanese beds. I've been sleeping on the floor for years (on a memory foam pad sitting atop a rug). I thought of it as an experiment and bought the cheapest memory foam I could find (basically a bare 3 thick slab) with the intention of upgrading--or going back to regular bed if the experiment went bust. Well, it turned so well I never replaced the foam pad. But now I'm interested in a Japanese bed and would love to hear from anyone here (off list, please) who has experience with such. I see that there are variations in the bedding style and materials...and on whether it sits on the floor or on a frame or tatami mat. I know there is plenty of info on the net but I figure I'd shoot this out just in case there is a bob-er rbw-er who has 2 cents to throw down. • Perry -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Shifting Issues Question for the Mechanic Types
I was able to adjust the FD and now it shifts perfectly. For the record there were two issues at play here. 1. The FD was not adjust correctly. It wasn't even close...I have no idea why it was this far out of whack. 2. The shifters needed to be tightened. The second issue is apparently very common and as noted it will need to be re-tightened from time to time. RIvendell said they have though about including info that it would most likely need to be done and I have since told them that is a very good idea. I actually question why, if they know it's a common issue, they would still only be thinking about including this info. The first issue is actually what caused my chain suck. The worst part is that because it was not done right and because it caused chain suck the paint on my chainstay is severely messed up. I am not someone who babies their bikes and wear is OK but when you get the paint destroyed on a $2500 bike within the first 2-5 miles because of an assembly error it puts a sour taste in your mouth. I let them know that I was displeased but never heard anything back even as far as an apology. When buying a Rivendell you agree to pay a premium for alot of parts as well and part of all of that is you expect pretty much the best the whole way down the line. Things happen and I won't dwell on it but I did want to let people know that even though it is coming from Riv please do a full checkup of every part before taking it out. Their assembly after shipping video does not mention anything past putting it together and while that may be OK for most people in my case I would have saved some heartache had I know to check out all the shifting as well. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Big Front Rack loaded on a Hunqapillar... am I crazy?
Right now, I run either a Large Saddlesack or panniers on a Nitto Big Rear Rack on my 54cm Hunqapillar, with a basket on a mini front for a little extra weight in front, and it works pretty good. But I'm curious if I wouldn't be happier with a Big Front Rack with panniers and a basket. Can anyone share there experience with this kind of load? I feel like I want more weight up front, more than I'm comfortable with putting on the Mini-Front, and I want the weight a bit lower, too. I'd probably keep the Big Rack in back for longer trips. I'm curious as to how it handles, both loaded and unloaded. Anyone run a setup like this? Thanks, Shawn M.

[RBW] Re: OT: Japanese bed (shikibuton)
Ian, the on topic connection, if it rises to such lofty heights, is found in the benefits I've experienced by eschewing cushioned, supportive furniture. I never stretch yet am lithe and limber. My neck, shoulders, back, and legs no longer hold on to aches or stiffness as they always did pre-floor living. In my mind this fits into the same category as over supportive, last-shaped, high-heeled foot binding devices, er, shoes (nearly all shoes are high-heeled). Going without them leads to my body being stronger and functioning the way God made it to function. The transition can take a long time (unlearning bad habits of motion and posture often do), but the benefits begin right away and ramp up from there.

Talk about a great ride! Port Ellen up the coast for a tour at each of my favorite distilleries (Laughroaig, Lagavulin, Ardbeg, saving the best for last). Good thing the road was well curved, as we'd've ridden off a straight one with all that great whiskey in us. Horrid, falling apart hired bicycles. Used a dry sone wall to put my handlebars back on right (no tools). We thought we had only three more miles to go after Ardbeg, but it turns out the BnB was the other side of the island, so we had 17 miles still to go. Oops.

When I found out that the bike had been shipped to the painter I asked if it would be possible to pick it up in Sacramento (bike was repaired there and I was going to Sacto for the day) and Riv said that it was in Chico with no mention of the fact the painter never acknowledged receipt and was not answering phone calls so they speculate that he might be on vacation. Getting the whole story took numerous emails. Unfortunately, I haven't had a very good experience dealing with Riv. I rarely received repair updates unless I constantly emailed them and the final straw was the painting. Other lacking customer service was at the start of the repair when Riv said that they would send the bike to Bernie Mikkelsen for the repair and a few days later Riv said the bike would go to Steve Rex. When I asked for a clarification Riv responded that I could go ahead with Bernie if I chose but Steve Rex is dependable. I wouldn't question their recommendation, so why turn it into a selection on my part? Riv also asked at the beginning if I had another bike to which I responded I did not and no offer of a replacement so why ask? However, after complaining directly to Grant about the painting I got an offer of a replacement bike. However, no direct response from Grant. Offer came from an employee. Riv is a small company so why wouldn't Grant respond himself? I'm pleased that Riv stands behind their products by doing the repair for free, but the customer service was somewhat lacking.

[RBW] Interesting sights and creating abstract art with Sam
Yesterday I did my usual 30 mile loop which included a stop at Lake Nokomis beach for a snack and a few photos. When I headed out I started hearing funny beep, which at first I thought was my Garmin, so I fiddled with it and it's connection and the beep seemed to stop but I was still trying to figure out what it was. A few minutes later it returned beeping several times as I hit some bumps. So I started thinking it was related to something on the bike or on me that was getting jarred, then it stopped only to resume again. Since the Sam was handling just fine and the only electronic thing I could think of was my Garmin I thought I'd just chalk it up to mystery and switched my attention back to the road ignoring the beeps altogether. A few blocks down the road I noticed a photo-op so I pulled over and pulled out my phone which proceeded to beep at me in no uncertain terms while presenting me with a vast collection of abstract shots and video of the inside of my left pant pocket. It looked like I forgot to completely close the app and it just went on it's merry way making it's own abstract photos. The kayak trailer was parked in a rack along the bike path leading to Ft. Snelling. Seems like an awkward load given the foot traffic and tight turns on this particular bike path. Here are the pictures to prove it: http://www.flickr.com/photos/billweaverphoto/sets/72157635012591397 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Trying to decide on handle bars for my Hunqapillar
Thanks for all the replies. Well, it looks like I'll go for the Albatross or the Bosco Bullmoose. Now I've got to decide which will serve me better... RBW also suggested the Albastache, but I figure it's probably a bit too similar to my current moustache on the Sam. On Thursday, August 8, 2013 10:58:56 PM UTC-4, Ozonation wrote: I'm trying decide on *Albatross - or other -* bar for my Hunqapillar I currently have Sam Hillborne with moustache bars and it's great, but would not mind some more hand positions. I was very intrigued by the Salsa Fargo and its woodchipper drop bars. I do not plan on doing excessively long tours - mostly day long trips of several hours at a time. I was thinking of trying *drop bars* on the Hunqapillar. However, when I ride with my wife, she prefers a more leisurely ride, and this is where the moustache bars I found a bit less comfortable because I just really want to go faster. So, I was thinking of a more *MTB style or Nitto Bullmoose bar* to be a bit more upright. If I take the bike on rougher trails, I would think something like *Nitto Bullmoose* bars (more MTB style) would be best. I hadn't really consider the *Nitto Albatross *bars - how long are they for longer distances and rougher trails? I have noticed that a lot of Hunqapillar riders use the Albatross bars, and it has gotten a lot of good reviews. And Rivendell even features a rider on mountain trails using what looks like an Albatross bar on one of its videos! Some swear by another one, the *Nitto Bosco Bullmoose *bar, which sort of lends the above. Any opinions on what handle bar best serves me in all situations? Albatross? Other?

[RBW] Greetings - 64 cm Atlantis?
Dear Tony(s), I have a PBH of 863cm and ride a 61cm Atlantis - the tallest of all my bikes. I'm 6' with a long torso. I feel at home on it. The stand over is a tight fit, but works fine for gravel pavement, but I would not do rough off-road with it. I think the top tube on the Atlantis is a bit (one-cm?) shorter than other Rivs, so you might factor that in. It's more important to me than stand over. Paul Germain Midlothian, VA Tonester tony.mad...@gmail.com Aug 05 09:22AM -0700 A few thoughts: I'm 6'3 with a 91pbh, short torsoed. I would have fit on a 64c but chose a 62c for a couple of reasons: the top tube was slightly shorter and fit by reach better and I wanted a bit more stand over. If you've done any challenging off-loading, you'll have experienced the need to hop off the pedals and touch down on uneven ground. If the bike is on ground higher than where your feet land, a bit more standover can be more uh. accommodating? I'm also running 40c tires so that adds to the equation somewhat. On the road or light duty trails it's less of an issue. I think in the end what you'll be comfortable on depends on your riding needs will be. Given what's been shared on this thread, I'd be inclined to look for a trade for a 62c.

Re: [RBW] Re: Ma Petite Betty
Yes, it's the finding like-minded riders piece that's missing. I know quite a few people who ride, but in terms of their recreational riding, they're either Gran Fondo racing cyclists, or randonneurs. I can't keep up with either sort, but knowing that there are other like-minded folks from Vancouver on this list gives me a good place to start. Thanks, Anne.

[RBW] Big Front Rack loaded on a Hunqapillar... am I crazy?
Hi Shawn. My current set up on my Sam is a nitto big front rack with huge swift industries panniers, and a large saddlesack in the rear. I've gone out like this a couple of times so far and I've got no complaints. Last trip we stopped and added a six pack to one of my panniers (completely lopsiding the load) and I couldn't even tell. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Calling all SoCal Rivsters S240 August 23rd anyone? See details below.
Now I'm really going to have to take the 23rd off!
Good thing it's all down hill to San Clemente from Irvine!
You know, as we're getting there kind of early, we can do a
second-lunch/lupper sortofathing at Pizza Port. I've heard they have
these hand crafted ales of which you speak.
We may even end up at Goody's Tavern depending on how things go!

So with a bunch of 1100 am arrivals... what's your agenda for the
afternoon before heading down? I could certainly be on the Surfliner that
arrives at 1100 am. Is there some nice lunch spot with hand crafted ales
nearby?

[RBW] Re: Interesting sights and creating abstract art with Sam
I love those kinds of happy photographic accidents. Thanks for sharing them with us! On Saturday, August 10, 2013 5:10:43 PM UTC-7, bwphoto wrote: Yesterday I did my usual 30 mile loop which included a stop at Lake Nokomis beach for a snack and a few photos. When I headed out I started hearing funny beep, which at first I thought was my Garmin, so I fiddled with it and it's connection and the beep seemed to stop but I was still trying to figure out what it was. A few minutes later it returned beeping several times as I hit some bumps. So I started thinking it was related to something on the bike or on me that was getting jarred, then it stopped only to resume again. Since the Sam was handling just fine and the only electronic thing I could think of was my Garmin I thought I'd just chalk it up to mystery and switched my attention back to the road ignoring the beeps altogether. A few blocks down the road I noticed a photo-op so I pulled over and pulled out my phone which proceeded to beep at me in no uncertain terms while presenting me with a vast collection of abstract shots and video of the inside of my left pant pocket. It looked like I forgot to completely close the app and it just went on it's merry way making it's own abstract photos. The kayak trailer was parked in a rack along the bike path leading to Ft. Snelling. Seems like an awkward load given the foot traffic and tight turns on this particular bike path.
