Re: [RBW] Minimum acceptable ground clearance below crankarm?
Not sure I understand your question. You usually talk in terms of BB height. You mean from pedal to floor with crank arm at 6:00 position? My 650B conversion of an early Road has 2 7/8 under the pedal measured this way. I can't recall a pedal strike in over 5,000 miles, but there may have been one or two. I don't corner like a racer, however. The bike has had Pari Motos, Maxy Fasty and Cypres tires On Wed, Nov 13, 2013 at 11:15 AM, Jim Bronson jim.bron...@gmail.com wrote: Is there any rule of thumb on this? Put the 650b wheels on my custom Riv with 32.8mm Nifty Swifty tires and there is less than 3 inches of clearance from the crankarm to the floor. I think it's ridable...if I never pedal through corners. I'm just afraid it's going to bite me sometime when I'm tired and not thinking about it. I suppose bigger tires and shorter crankarms would help some. There is a huge amount of clearance available underneath the R559 brakes I installed. And I'm running 180s now so could go down to 175s or even 170s. Might be able to get another 15mm of clearance or so with 170s and 40mm tires.

[RBW] new knickers
Got my catalog, too, and my favorite heading is *Grab liquefied and resolidified bug mausoleums*. The knickers - I love the new fabric, it is notably softer than the old fabric. While I love my old knickers and expect them to last 400 years, my only complaint was the fabric is so hard it marks my Brooks saddle. Makes me feel like Grant is listening. Jury is out on the bottom elastic (never had a problem with the velcro, but I guess it could chafe if overtightened). The new design works - taking up elastic keeps the knickers above my calves and like I said already, it's all soft. However, there is a 6-inch-long elastic tag, which the cat loves, but I don't think it's long enough to get in the chain or a spoke. And easy enough to roll around and tuck back in.

For me, the line seems to be between 7 and 8: friction shifting 7 works fine, but with 8 I get a lot of ghost shifts.

Re: [RBW] epiphany, or just a reminder
I'm skeptical on planing beyond a good feeling only in that to gain energy you have to give it away first. If the frame bends / flexes under power than planes back you have given the energy away in the first place bending the frame instead of transmitting that power to the ground in the first place. I'm sure it exists but I see no advantage to it. You don't get power for free.

With all the talk of planing and what sort of tubing makes it happen, it is interesting to hear someone describe what surely seems to be the same thing with a Rivendell. I can't say I've experienced it, but I do wonder if the wonderful fit and (for me, anyway) geometry of my road Rivs (including the Ram) encourages a position that in turn encourages spirited riding, especially on hills. My erstwhile 1973 Grand Record had (at least to my heft) a much lighter frame than any of the Rivs, but it didn't feel faster -- though OTOH again, it had heavier wheels and poorer tires (IRC Tandems). OTOH again, these same tires on the tank of the also erstwhile Herse felt fast -- the Herse seemed to encourage spirited riding, too; but at least two previous owners ditched it because it didn't plane for them (at least one owner much my size). I wish someone would do an analysis for geometry and fit and power output what Jan has done for planing. Photos of the Roadeo ...? Pleeze?

I am coming back, but it's slow process. Ok, here's the epiphany: after all this work, my favorite bike to hammer on is still my Roadeo, hills included. Its not just the ride position, but the bike just matches my pedal stroke. The frame is flexy when I am standing, but when I am hammering,sitting on the saddle up a hill, I get this soft-pedal, rhythmic feeling on climbs.

Re: [RBW] Re: Riv/SKS longboards as Bluemels re-enactment
thanks Patrick. Even with all the weight, my old college Raleigh is trick for me. Wide 6 rear and half-steps plus escape on a Cylotouriste crank. Gears are 26 to 97 in about 5-inch steps. I think it's cozy for me because of my long limbs and short torso, but it fits me like a pair of Italian loafers (on my ice skate feet). Recently picked up a repair stand and easily adjusted my Zeus hub cones on the bike before this morning's ride - makes all the difference to adjust them on the bike. Those are the Nitto moustache (not the newer Albastache), and I wouldn't trade them for anything.

Re: [RBW] New stuff on my Roadeo
Beautiful bike, Don, and I too like the front fender set up. I've gone back and forth about front vs rear bags. My question though is why you run a triple with a 34 inner tooth? I run my Ram with a White VBC 44/30 and Ultegra 9 spd 11-28. It would seem that with an 11 spd you should have an 11 in back which would make a 48/11 a pretty big gear and no need for 3 rings to get to 34/29?

With eleven, I am not stuck with only Campy cassettes or crappy IRD cassettes.

Re: [RBW] Minimum acceptable ground clearance below crankarm?
Thanks Bruce. That's close to where my bike is also, even with the 180 cranks. I don't pedal gonzo around corners either. I'll have more clearance with taller tires and shorter cranks also. Gaining confidence in this conversion. On Nov 16, 2013 6:07 AM, Bruce Herbitter bruce.herbit...@gmail.com wrote: Not sure I understand your question. You usually talk in terms of BB height. You mean from pedal to floor with crank arm at 6:00 position? My 650B conversion of an early Road has 2 7/8 under the pedal measured this way.

I suppose bigger tires and shorter crankarms would help some. There is a huge amount of clearance available underneath the R559 brakes I installed. And I'm running 180s now so could go down to 175s or even 170s. Might be able to get another 15mm of clearance or so with 170s and 40mm tires.

[RBW] Flash Ride of Colorado Trail Report
Mike met me at Little Scraggy parking lot outside of Buffalo Creek about 9am this morning and we had a wondrous 4 hours of riding and leisurely hour lunch on a warmish day for mid-November in Colorado. It started off in the 30’s and warmed to the 40’s. We heard the winds in the trees, but didn’t feel them until we entered the burn area on Shinglemill Trail. No idea of distance and I’m not sure if Mike had a computer. We rode the Colorado Trail over hill and dale, a few creeks, lots of roots and a few rock gardens. Eventually the rifles in the distance we getting too close for my brain, so we turned around and made a loop of it on the trails north of the CT. We dropped down to Buffalo Creek Road, a nice double track that follows the creek down, then turned up Shinglemill for a vigorous, fun, twisting smooth climb through the Buffalo Creek Fire burn area. No trees meant the 30-40 mph winds we’d been hearing had free access to us. I learned that winding single track, steep climbing, and strong gusting cross winds do not play nicely with vertigo. I limped along after that, making it back to the parking lot at 2pm. MIke was a joy to ride with and I look forward to the next time we get to ride. Thanks, Mike!

Re: [RBW] Half Mitts
Update: Went on a short ride in low 40's-degrees weathers, plus some winds, so temps at the lowest in upper 30's perhaps. I used the new half-mitts with the thumb. I was surprised at how bulky the thumb felt, and it was a bit awkward to get the thumb out. The half mitts are nice because you can quickly remove your fingers, but the full thumb has to be pulled off separately just like a regular glove. Its a small thing, and in really cold weather probably would be worth it, but on an only mildly cold ride, I think I'll stick with the old style, thumbless half-mitts. I think I would prefer a half-thumb, instead of a full thumb cover, though. Then it would cover the tip of the thumb and the back (dorsal side), but leave the palmar open - just like the rest of the mitt. -Aaron Young The Dalles, OR On Mon, Nov 11, 2013 at 12:26 PM, Aaron Young 1ce...@gmail.com wrote: I used a thumbless pair through winter, and with a light liner type glove (with a thumb) they were just fine for my short commute.

Re: [RBW] Half Mitts
Years ago I owned a very nice pair of winter gloves that were designed as fingerless cycling gloves with long gauntlets with a flip-over mitten cover for the fingers. The thumb remained full-length-covered. A very sensible design, IMO, tho' it too suffered from the mitten defect of difficult operation of dt or other skinny shift levers. Does anyone still make these?

Re: [RBW] New stuff on my Roadeo
Michael, I am running a double, 50-34 rings, 12-29 cassette, but I can run a Shimano 11-32 on a Shimano compatible hub, which I will use for tough hilly rides and multi-day rides. The 11 cog is totally useless for me ( even the 12 is marginal ), but no one offers a 11 sp cogset with less that an 11 cog on low range cassettes. Oh well?

My question though is why you run a triple with a 34 inner tooth? I run my Ram with a White VBC 44/30 and Ultegra 9 spd 11-28. It would seem that with an 11 spd you should have an 11 in back which would make a 48/11 a pretty big gear and no need for 3 rings to get to 34/29?

[RBW] Re: Invisible Bike Helmet.
Tom, no idea either about Snell evaluating the device. My only opinion is that it looks uncomfortable wrapped around one's neck...here in arid Los Angeles I can assure you I won't be wearing one, perhaps if I lived in Copenhagen but that's not happening either. I'm very curious about how the accelerometers detect a tumble Tim, it would be fun to know the technically how it senses an imminent impact. Peter, I read the Snobs opinion and it's quite funny I especially like the idea of one for use in the neither region...and yes they are thinking outside the box regarding safety which is good. I can't say the same for the Snob. Jeff, I think anything new is a hard sell especially when we are so comfortable wearing the current helmets...I'd rather see an intensified effort to make bike travel safer and more efficient here in the land of petrol beasts. ~Hugh uc On Friday, November 15, 2013 9:42:04 AM UTC-8, Tom Virgil wrote: From the end of the video I take it this is some kind of air bag that is deployed.
