Re: [RBW] Re: New Bike Day - Lavendar Saluki!
Sheldon does know a whole lot more than me... for now though the swap is made. The tread on the rear was better than I had expected, I'm estimating less than 1,500 miles on them in any case so I'm hoping to get plenty more life. The sidewall fraying is the more concerning thing,need to pick up some rubber cement and get that under control.

[RBW] MId-Weekend Update: SoCal Riders March Meander
This was one of those rides that you plan out the small details on, and then have to deal with multiple monkey wrench gangs. But as far as I know, everything worked out! It started with Andy Schmidt letting folks know he would be visiting from PDX for Spring Break. Great says we, as he has hosted many a Southlander visiting up there, so lots of intentions to show a great ride down this way. After multiple ride options were discussed, including Santa Monica, downtown LA, San Bernardino mountains, and OC mountains, a plan was worked out to overnight in Joshua Tree National Park. A very unique and beautiful experience, especially for a guy visiting from the wet and green Pacific Northwest! Unfortunately I couldn't make, but was still part of the planning process. Hugh and Evan went there Friday to secure a camping spot for the group's Sat arrival. And of course, they get there and the All campgrounds full signs have been unfurled. Damn. They end up getting a room in town, and resort to Plan B. We go with the Redlands to Angelus Oaks climb and camping option and hope to get hold of Andy before he gets on the road to JT. My plans had changed enough that I could ride with them the first part and lead through town and up into the mountains. A beautiful overcast day, 20 degrees cooler than last weekend when we had the RSR! We fueled up with burritos for breakfast, and head out the back roads and bike paths to get to Hwy 38 leading up to the mountains. A beautiful ride till the point I had to turn around and head back down the hill. No flats, but some drivetrain mechanicals slowed us down a bit. The crew is somewhere in the mountains as I write this, hope to catch up with them for lunch sometime today and debrief the weekend's events!!! First day pics showing how we do it down this way: https://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclotourist/sets/72157642763723203/ Cheers, David it isn't a contest.

Re: [RBW] Hanging vs Platform Hitch Bike Carriers
I run a Saris Freedom 2 and enjoy it much more than hanging racks I've used in the past. Easy to load and bikes don't move at all at interstate speeds. The Saris Cycle On with the add on would give you flexibility in size with a super secure mounting. I've seen it in use and its bike mounting mechanism is really slick.

Re: [RBW] MId-Weekend Update: SoCal Riders March Meander
It sticks in my memory, because of a fitting coincidence: last June I took the double-top-tube proto-Hunq on a mountain dirt-road overnighter with mountain-bike riding friends on Mount Ashland. My Oregon buddy made fun of my bike a bit when he saw it. At one point during the ride, he intentionally-mistakenly called it the Jackalope (having no knowledge that there actually is a bike with that name.) The Hunq was great, and at the end of the ride, he proclaimed, The Jackalope's no slouch dude! So that was my Hunq's name for a couple of weeks until I saw on this forum that Andy was getting a frame built up, and it was named that. The similarity between the Jackalope and the 2TT proto-Hunq AND my buddy's need to instinctively call such a bike the Jackalope all means that Andy's bike has the most perfect name ever! -Jim W.

Re: [RBW] Re: Nanoreview, Barlow Pass 700x38C on Dyad
Chipping in: I put the 700x32 Compass tires on a few weekends ago. Pumped them up to about 70-75 psi and took them on a couple of rides. I really liked the feel and cornering. But I was coming from a handful of years spent on Hetres, Lierres, B-lines, and Col de la Vies. So I was worried I was sacrificing some cush in trying out this whole 700c thing. This morning I let out some air to get them to 50 psi. Cush achieved! Glad I hadn't wasted my time cobbling together my first 700c bike. It's making me think there's a light and lively 700c sportif somewhere in my future.

I got the bike together and out for a quick test ride this afternoon and was grinning from ear to ear. It fits, it looks great, it rides as good as any bike I've ridden before... very stable and compared to my recent bikes (Atlantis, Trek 650B, XO-3) is quite spritely. I've got some riding plans for the weekend and will be sharing alot more pictures for sure. Still not 100% on the color, but I'm going to enjoy it a bit before I make any decisions on that front.

Agatha (working name based on the color - Agapanthus Purple) is breaking in just fine and inspiring me to get out of my winter slump... I haven't broken 250 miles in a month since October! March might get me back on track, we'll see if this latest snow storm actually hits us on Tuesday. The hetres performed great, no surprises there and I was thrilled that the included SKS fenders worked easily even with the jump in tire size. I was compelled to install the front rack/basket so that I could carry my camera and other bits and peices on todays ride and tomorrow's commute. I have a new to me Carradice bag coming that may suffice for my commuting load. If so I might make Agatha basket-less for a while. No noticeable problems while I was riding but the front end is a pain to walk around with when loaded down. I helped that situation on my Trek w/ one of those little VO spring damper's but i'd prefer not to go that direction on the Saluki if possible.

[RBW] Bosco Bullmoose Bars
I'd love to hear from someone who rides a lot of trails, especially with roots, rocks, snug tree gaps twists, and the like, how they ride. How do they climb? How big a difference does the solidness make in torque when climbing/maneuvering over/around obstacles and when descending with weight back on the bars at the brakes? How are they for long mellow parts? Any comparisons with the Albatross are appreciated as well. My sole issue with the Albatross is the feeling that when I pull on the bars or absorb a bump with elbow bend that they don't feel as solid as I would like. I love every other aspect of them, so hate to save to try a new cockpit if I'm loosing something in the process.

Re: [RBW] Re: Recommended Coffee Grinder
Matthew, Would you mind sharing a report of your experience with the Lido 2 so far? My wife is thinking it makes sense as our home grinder, in large part because the reports I've read say it is much smoother and easier to operate, and less fiddly than the Hario et al. (though at 3 pounds and 12 tall x 3 wide I won't be taking it on the bike -- I'm thinking the Hario mini with rubber bands so it fits directly into an Aeropress for that). With abandon, Patrick On Thursday, March 6, 2014 7:51:38 AM UTC-7, Matthew J wrote: A good electric grinder will easily cost several hundred dollars. Commercial grinders go neat $1k if not over. I much prefer a manual as personally I would rather not use electricity if there is a feasible alternative. The problem with many of the less expensive manual grinders is they either cannot adjust or if they do it is more rube goldberg than what you get with a good electric. Adjusting the level of grind is important if you brew coffee in different ways as well as experiment with the type of beans and roast. The Lido in concept will have the same precise grind control one gets from the high end grinders without using electricity. I just wish the darn things would come in stock so I can try one out.

Manual, hand-powered grinders also mean you can grind beans anywhere you'd like, which is wonderful for making coffee outside, which a lot of folks seem to be interested in these days when combined with bicycle journeys of any length.

Thank for guiding me back on track, Tony. Grin. Great report! Thanks. I love reading your long road rides. Reminds me of my days when passing cars didn't end my day (overstimulation my brain) and I would ride 30 miles as a cool down following a century. This was 88-92 timeframe, end of high school, early college.

[RBW] Re: Saddlesack Medium and Biking to School
Glad you're able ride with your kids to school. I also have the middle saddle sack, which is actually like a large bike sack. I have it in olive and use it on my grocery getter bridgestone mixte. I take it to traders and avoid that parking crazy lot. You'll enjoy it, because it carries a lot. At last years Ciclavia, I received so many compliments on the vintage bike plus the sack. The sack is a real guy magnet for me. Here in LA it is also legal to ride on the sidewalk and we have people parking their cars on it or blocking it with their cars too. I always use the sidewalk when I head to traders, because we have unsafe or no bike infrastructure here in Silverlake, like the rest of LA. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

I switched from Noodles to Albatrosses a few months ago, but I never really got used to how upright the bars were; I moved the stem as low as it would go and it got better but I wondered if there was a better, middle way.

[RBW] Re: Exploding Schwalbe?
I had a similar problem with a tire blowing off the rim. I believe it was a 700 x 40c tire and the rim was only like 19mm wide or less. I don't remember for sure but it was narrow. Deflated, that tire fit real loose around the rim. Later I tried it on a wider rim, 24 mm wide. No problems. I may be wrong but since then it is my belief those wider tires need a wide rim.

Once, it blew just after inflation, in our hands, when we were replacing the tube from a prior blow out.
