Re: [RBW] What do Rivendell Riders use for tandems?
Yes. I'm surprised Eunice didn't mention this. Most stokers are more sensitive to a bikes suspension than they are on singles. The pilot needs to warn when any bumps are coming up and most stokers like a sprung post or saddle. That said, don't give up. Tandems are great fun and most stokers prefer their position because it gives them a lot of freedom to look around take pictures, as Eunice posts illustrates.

Here's our Santana set up with Albas front and rear. http://www.flickr.com/photos/cnyriv/12235116233/ I've had it since the mid 90s. The rides these days are shorter and flatter as my wife is much more comfortable on her single and our overall power has decreased. She is very sensitive to bumps. The sprung saddle helps but communication is everything. It's great fun and our go to picnic bike.

Re: [RBW] What do Rivendell Riders use for tandems?
I haven't been on a tandem bike for over six months so I'd forgotten all about that. The bike friday does have something called thudbuster, and I liked that. I used a sprung saddle for a while and hated it, but that might have to do with the actual saddle/seatpost than anything else (it kept slipping down and tipping back and forth). And yes, the bumps can be worse on a tandem- which is why I usually paid more attention to the road than the captain (our deal was he talked to folks in group rides, and I looked at the map and the road). It becomes less obvious on more frequently traveled roads b/c I got used to where all the bumps were and muscle memory kicked in. :) -E.

[RBW] Re: What do Rivendell Riders use for tandems?
My wife and I ride Rivendell models -- Romulus, Rambouillet, others -- and after riding a Cannondale MTB tandem with slicks drop bars for awhile we went to Co-Motion. We asked Dwan to replicate our positions on a 57 Romulus in the back and a 58 Rambouillet in the front and set up the headtube so that I could get my captain's handlebars level with the saddle. Mission accomplished. The final productt, their 700c wheel Speedster, fit as we wanted. We've since then replaced that bike with a 700c Java expedition tandem which allows much bigger tires and fenders. The only obstacle on both frames has been getting Brooks saddles far enough back, but the NItto Wayback post solved that. I asked Grant at one of his book signings about the Riv tandem project and he said it was still on his list, but he had no prediction about when. Ed F.

I love the Noodle drop bars but in the last few years have been riding the Albatrossed SimpleOne more and more for the upright comfort. Ever since the Albastache bar was introduced I could not stop thinking about how these would be on the Rodeo. Made the switch a couple weeks ago. The comfort level is through the roof fantastic. The more upright position feels totally natural. Also put the longboards on and took off the big ring(never used it) and added the chain guard. And I obviously am not too concerned with fender lines :) The bag is a Carradice Barley. I plan on adding a front rack at some point with another bag or basket.

Bummer Patrick! I was feeling pessimistic that a trade would happen when someone offered to buy the bars outright so I sold them in a moment of weakness. Would be interested in a straight purchase of yours if interested though. Christopher, these are for a 1-1/8 (blasphemy!) threadless fork so the bullmoose wouldn't work... thanks though!!

[RBW] Re: Speaking of Off-Pavent Rides... Come to Redlands this Spring!
A heads up that only five spaces are left. We originally set the size to 100 riders, but raised it to 150 last week. In the last 24 hrs about 30 people have signed up. If you were on the fence and thinking about it, better make that decision fast! Registration page here: http://www.iebikingalliance.org/content.aspx?page_id=87club_id=961736item_id=321339 We're setting an arbitrary limit on it as we're provided food and music at the end, and also are trying to keep it a touch low profile until we work out the kinks. We will have a wait list as well, but I'd rather have y'all on the for sure list! There's a book of the face page as well as the blogspot. The IEBA which is tremendously helping run runs this one: facebook.com/events/253431688149599 On Wednesday, October 9, 2013 6:14:19 PM UTC-7, cyclot...@gmail.com wrote: Over the years, the SoCal chapter of the Rivendell Bicycle Appreciation Society has put on a lot of great rides! I've loved EVERY one I've been on, and met a lot of greatpeople. They've actually lead to some pretty good friendships IRL, which is the best part of them. The other thing I love is seeing new areas of the state I've never been to. Amazing to explore back-country from San Diego to Ventura with the above-mentioned folks. I also love the idea of the organized rides/brevets/populairs that are happening like the D2R2 in Vermont, and La Ruta Loca in the Bay Area. So I think to myself: Why not combine the two? Which gives us this: http://redlands-strada-rossa.blogspot.com/ Some locals and I are trying to put on an organized ride, that shows the best of Inland Southern California in the Spring, and keeps people on as much dirt as possible. The rest is majority back/rural roads. Many of the SoCal rides have been on parts of this route, but this links the segments together in an amazing loop that comes out at just about 100km. A decent amount of climbing to keep folks honest, but there are no chest-bursters. Some singletrack as well. Not terrible technical, but 1km section of climbing that may cause some walking. Not a biggie. The vibe aimed for his an extended Riv-Ride. There are no timing devices, no podium spots, no t-shirts, just the knowledge that it'll be good people on a good route. And it's free! Not a money-maker, either for for profit or charity. Just a good ride! I am trying to arrange a post-ride meal and party hosted by the Redlands Bike BBQ http://www.bikebbq.com/ that will be a donations-only set up. They're good people and I'd like to help them out, but again, that's not the point of the ride. So long/short: The ride is on March 15th, 2014. Weather should be great. I hope many of you can make it here for this. Cheap/clean/safe hotels in town. Quaint historic downtown to walk around and lots of Victorian, Arts Crafts, MCM homes to look at for significant others that may not be into the whole 100km bike ride thing. Oh, and two independent breweries in town as well. Just thought I'd mention that! -- Cheers, David it isn't a contest.

[RBW] Re: What do Rivendell Riders use for tandems?
My tandem is an Ibis Touche. 700c with Jack Browns currently. My wife and I have only ridden it a couple times, before having kids. I did a century on it with a guest stoker about 4 years ago, though, and it was great. It has a unicrown fork with tons of clearance, so I could go a lot bigger than a Jack Brown in front. In back it's a lot cozier. I test-fit some 700x37 Paselas. It cleared but not with enough margin to actually leave them on there. Now that I'm a more experienced fender-fitter, I may try to get fenders around the Jack Browns. The bike is cream, and I'm wondering if cream longboards would match or clash. My 12 year old son is *almost* tall enough to stoke. I never bothered putting a kiddie conversion on, because I had a Burley Piccolo to use. Once he can stoke, then it's going to be on like Donkey Kong. Hopefully there will be a small window where he's tall enough to ride the tandem with me and not old enough to realize his dad is a huge dork and not want to ride it with me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

I love the Noodle drop bars but in the last few years have been riding the Albatrossed SimpleOne more and more for the upright comfort.Ever since the Albastache bar was introduced I could not stop thinking about how these would be on the Rodeo. Made the switch a couple weeks ago.The comfort level is through the roof fantastic. The more upright position feels totally natural.Also put the longboards on and took off the big ring(never used it) and added the chain guard.And I obviously am not too concerned with fender lines :) The bag is a Carradice Barley.

Re: [RBW] FS: 68 CM Quickbeam. 1500.00
All you large bike riders.. Someone needs to take the leap soon. This is a great deal and Kelly is a wonderful man to deal with/purchase cycling gear from. I waited 2.5 years for a 68cm Quickbeam, finally purchased this fall and will never part with it. Kelly actually beat me out for the one he is now moving on. If someone needs quick cash to close the deal, I have $ for anyone with a 66cm or 68cm Atlantis frame they are willing to pay it forward.

The bike is cream, and I'm wondering if cream longboards would match or clash. My 12 year old son is *almost* tall enough to stoke. I never bothered putting a kiddie conversion on, because I had a Burley Piccolo to use. Once he can stoke, then it's going to be on like Donkey Kong.

The other thing I love is seeing new areas of the state I've never been to. Amazing to explore back-country from San Diego to Ventura with the above-mentioned folks. I also love the idea of the organized rides/brevets/populairs that are happening like the D2R2 in Vermont, and La Ruta Loca in the Bay Area. So I think to myself: Why not combine the two? Which gives us this: http://redlands-strada-rossa.blogspot.com/ Some locals and I are trying to put on an organized ride, that shows the best of Inland Southern California in the Spring, and keeps people on as much dirt as possible. The rest is majority back/rural roads. Many of the SoCal rides have been on parts of this route, but this links the segments together in an amazing loop that comes out at just about 100km. A decent amount of climbing to keep folks honest, but there are no chest-bursters. Some singletrack as well. Not terrible technical, but 1km section of climbing that may cause some walking. Not a biggie. The vibe aimed for his an extended Riv-Ride. There are no timing devices, no podium spots, no t-shirts, just the knowledge that it'll be good people on a good route. And it's free! Not a money-maker, either for for profit or charity. Just a good ride!

I hope many of you can make it here for this. Cheap/clean/safe hotels in town. Quaint historic downtown to walk around and lots of Victorian, Arts Crafts, MCM homes to look at for significant others that may not be into the whole 100km bike ride thing.

[RBW] Steger Arctic Mukluks for Winter Riding
Here is an initial review of the Steger Arctic Mukluks for winter running. (Or hiking, biking, snowshoeing). I did bike in them and they are great for that, and I presume they are great for snowshoeing, but I will test that out later. Bottom line, I can't believe how minimal, warm, dry, and comfortable these are, and they work great running steep mountain trails in winter's deep and biking. The soles are soft and grippy, and easily grip my peg-free barefoot friendly pedals despite the snow.

Re: [RBW] Update: the woman who is 5'2
She bought a Domane 4: Domane 4 Series flies past any other carbon endurance race bike in its class, with IsoSpeed for race comfort, endurance geometry for stability, and Power Transfer Construction for speed. I'm not exactly sure what a carbon endurance race bike is supposed to be, but I guess I'll see tomorrow if she shows up at our big club ride. After I suggested to her in email that a double chainring might not be adequate for the roads around here, some of which are very steep indeed (Redwood Gulch! Bohlmann!) she told me that the shop said that triples have more repair problems than doubles. Maybe that's a problem with brifters? I have never had trouble with the triples on my bikes, but I also don't use brifters. On Fri, Jan 31, 2014 at 10:07 PM, cyclotourist cyclotour...@gmail.com wrote: Well bless her heart.

Re: [RBW] Update: the woman who is 5'2
That is exactly right. Whatever shop told her that about triples is an unhelpful shop. It is a really bad idea to compromise our gearing options just to have indexing in the front. That bad idea is widespread, but I still don't give a shop a pass when they help perpetuate it.

I have never had trouble with the triples on my bikes, but I also don't use brifters. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Why settle for less when it could be none? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
