I have a full set of hex tools. 2.5-6mm. I prefer the full sized ones to a multi tool. I pull them off the ring and carry them wrapped up. Those plus a chain tool. Probably should have a small screwdriver as well, but so far I don't. Cheers, David it isn't a contest.

Re: [RBW] Re: Geometry, climbing, what's going on?
I have the long one but I expect I'm much larger than you. (My Atlantis is a 68) I should have also mentioned that after trying the bar I changed very quickly to a longer stem with slightly less rise. I also seem to use a bit less front tire pressure with this bar but that varies considerably with snow conditions. In addition I have often decreased pressure in advance of tricky downhill sections to try to help with front wheel grip. If I get my weight back as much as I otherwise might.. I'm eating snow pretty quickly ..but of course my skills are pretty lame when it comes to any technical riding. It's a good thing snow is mostly soft.

The short one, OTOH, is excellent. So far, the bar-end position is working for me on descents, though maybe I just don't go down slippery descents. Usually I'm trying to get my weight back, not forward, on descents.

I changed to the Loop Bar on my 9:ZERO:7 snow bike this winter and it quickly became clear that pegging my grip at the bar ends wasn't going to work. That position resulted in little front end control climbing but also a distinct lack of front wheel grip on slippery descents . Choking up-- really using the entire bar-- made a huge difference. I'm seldom on the ends unless i'm just cruising along on the flat and that's on well consolidated snow. I've yet to try them in the dirt but I'll give them and the 3.8 Knards a try soon. Over all I'm quite impressed with the bar.

But the Jones bars have a lot of advantages. For downhill, I like the wide bar-end position. I also like the wide position for just boppin' along. If I want to move a little forward, I can just choke up the bar ends, moving my hands about three inches in and forward, and still have access to the brake levers. And if I want to move more forward, I stick my thumbs inside the loop and grab. Definitely a lot of hand positions. Plus, having the loop part works well for strapping things onto the bars for camping.

Re: [RBW] On-bike tools: what is your choice or favorite?
I like the Park MT 1. No chain tool, but I've needed a chain tool only 2X that I can remember in 50 years of riding. I've ruined cogs or chainrings as often! In addition to the Park tool I carry at least 2 tubes -- containing Stan's for the Fargo and the Ram, and in addition patch kits for the two customs that don't have Stan's in the tubes (the Kojaks and, surprisingly, the very skinny, light, HP 23 mm Pro Race 3s don't get nearly as many flats as the tires on the two other bikes). And of course tire levers (Quik Stiks where the tires are loose enough for them), tire boots, saddle cover, a tiny little pocket knife, and on the 2 night bikes extra AAA batteries for auxiliary lights. All the kit, including the small HP Lezyne for the gofast, fits into a small saddle wedge. Pumps: HpXs for the Ram and '03 Riv, Lezyne minis for the Fargo and '99 gofast, though I might swap to a full size pump on the last.

Re: [RBW] On-bike tools: what is your choice or favorite?
WRT to a chain tool: forgot to say that I use masterlinks on all 4 chains, which largely removes the danger of chain breaking caused by operator error. On the 2 X my chain came apart or started knocking the rd cage plates it was because I'd re-assembled the separated links incorrectly. With master links there is no danger of such botched reassembly.

[RBW] Re: Contemplating 1 x 9 drivetrain
Drivetrain changes implemented. Successful on all levels: 1) I did all the work myself!; 2) the changes accomplished everything I hoped they would. Here's the summary of what I did: -- Change bottom bracket from 107 to 113 to shift chain line outboard and provide chain and front derailure clearance for 2.25 rear tire. Check! (This is also how Hunqapillars are built by Rivendell now). -- Swap 11-32 8-speed cassette for 12-36 9-speed cassette to allow for most riding to be done in my middle chainring. Initial tests: Check! Longer rides will reveal more. Thank you all for your help in exploring this! I am excited about these changes.

[RBW] Fenders good or bad for aerodynamics?
I am sure that fender functional benefits far outweigh any aero deficits. But the thought crossed my mind that my front fender probably acts like a hood scoop. Was wondering if anyone knows how bad, if at all fenders effect aerodynamics on a bike. Maybe front fender line matters. For instance, my front fender's front end shoots up and away from the tire. Some bikes have really long front fenders that bend down along the front curve of the tire, maybe letting less airflow into the fender vault, for lack of a better term. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Geometry, climbing, what's going on?
Couple of suggestions from a mountain biker's perspective. Try a higher gear--click up just one.

On the other hand, when I bought the bike I also thought I'd be able to go down steep trails that I'm afraid to descend on the Atlantis, and that has proved to be true. My husband took one look at my new bike and said, Wow, you have better traction on that than you have on foot. When I apply the brakes on a steep downhill, the bike *slows down* instead of skidding. -- -- Anne Paulson It isn't a contest. Enjoy the ride. -- -- Anne Paulson It isn't a contest.

I carry enough to cover the bolts I have on the bike . Also, 2 tubes and a repair kit, and my all time favorite the Quick stick for removal. A chain tool . The Park MT-1 is decent tool, but I went thru 3 or 4 of them from REI to find one that the hex ends were properly fitting ! When is 4mm not 4mm ? Seek this tool, and you'll know !

[RBW] Interim tour report from a ride on an Atlantis
Hi everyone! I have been riding my Atlantis on a cross country journey. I'm about a third of the way through, and I wanted to report on all of the problems I have had with this bike and setup. None. That is right. No bike issues, with frame (Atlantis), racks (Nitto front and rear), components (mostly Shimano XT), saddle (sprung Brooks), panniers (Ortlieb), wheels (40 spoke w/Phil Wood hubs), or tires (Schwalbe Marathon). I have gone about 2,200 miles from Key West, FL to Oklahoma City, OK, and apart from putting some lube on the chain after it rained and adding air to the tires once, I have done nothing at all to the bike, except ride it. By purely random chance, the bike also visited what must be a Rivendell country home just south of the Red River in East Texas. You can see a photo here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/124120280@N02/with/14060809651/ If you are interested in seeing more photos and some commentary on the trip, you can go to http://keystoalaska.com. Ultimately I am headed to Homer, Alaska on sort of a beginning-of-the-road to end-of-the-road journey.

[RBW] Re: On-bike tools: what is your choice or favorite?
I've actually evolved kinda/sorta the same kit for each bike. It took a while before I figured out the causal link between leaving a specific tool in another bike bag and having that particularly part break... These usually are centered around a multi-tool of some sort - I've got Ritchey, Crank Bros., a Park and one other I can't recall across several different bikes. I really think most of these are of about the same quality. The only thing which matters is they must have a chain tool and the appropriate hex sizes - which is really only three if you cover the crankset. Generally, I don't use any wrench bits. With that, I also have a small 8/10 Park wrench for adjusting brakes (or for the oddball bike which uses a 9, it has that one). On fendered bikes, I usually have the socket Y-wrench which I bought a few of over the years. A much faster way to adjust SKS style fenders. Two tubes. Two patch kits. It's a ritual. A talisman. Always have about 3 inches of chain. Singlespeed/fixed leaves you no ability to adapt to a snapped link. And this is more for regular rides. On multi-day outings, I'll add in a small headset/pedal wrench pair (the one Park used to make which could be mounted under your water bottle) and maybe a BB tool or anything which is reasonably esoteric and not otherwise mimicable. Zip ties x several. I tend to steer away from accessories which have tiny hex nuts or similar idiosyncrasies. I usually have a latex glove pair in there, as well as a small bottle of waterless hand cleaner. - Jim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Quickbeam Tire and Gearing Recommendations
I've pulled the trigger on a beautiful silver Quickbeam, so Lord willing and the creek don't rise it should be here in a few weeks. I have a few questions as I gear up for her arrival... Knobbie Tire: Talking with Riv., they suggest I can go with up to a 40mm knobbie and still be able to swap rings in front. I'll be on dirt roads and trails mostly, with some unavoidable sections of pavement. What do you all recommend? Both size and specific tire. Gearing: I plan on riding the stock gearing first, but what do you all recommend here for essentially a single speed cyclocross setup? Obviously, I'll have to become a stronger rider, and have already started that on my rides by not shifting down as much. I did well on today's 10 mile ride in 36/21, and my understanding is the low ring is 32, so possibly a Surly dingle cog, 17/21?

I’ll be on dirt roads and trails mostly, with some unavoidable sections of pavement. What do you all recommend? Both size and specific tire. Gearing: I plan on riding the stock gearing first, but what do you all recommend here for essentially a single speed cyclocross setup? Obviously, I’ll have to become a stronger rider, and have already started that on my rides by not shifting down as much. I did well on today’s 10 mile ride in 36/21, and my understanding is the low ring is 32, so possibly a Surly dingle cog, 17/21? I heard if you have even teeth up front you should have even teeth in the back, is that true? Thanks! The bike therapy continues!

Cool video. Thanks for sharing. I am always a little scared to go on Rando events because they say (at least on my local Randoclub) you have to have an emergency contact to come pick you up in a car in case you get stuck because no one will come to get you, SAG-wise from the ride organizers side.

[RBW] Re: Quickbeam Tire and Gearing Recommendations
Congratulations on the new Quickbeam. Some folks told me when I bought mine in February that it might become my favorite ride and it certainly has become that. My gearing is for (mostly) flat roads with an occasional hill and I settled on a 46t ring and an 18t White Industries freewheel equating to 66 gearing. While that won't cut it for your style of riding, the thing to consider is the means of finding good gearing. I used my 24 speed Atlantis and started with the top ring (46t) and worked to find the best all around rear cog (18t) and tried a ride, no shifting allowed, until I found the best gearing for the use I had in mind. I also have a fixed gear on the flip flop hub at 19t - I tried it briefly and it is definitely different. I put it back to the 18t freewheel and there it remains for now. It is an awesome change of pace - enjoy it! On Tuesday, April 29, 2014 5:26:07 PM UTC-4, M D Smith wrote: On Tuesday, April 29, 2014 4:59:07 PM UTC-4, Deacon Patrick wrote: Trail: definitely SS.

I have them on both my Atlantises; my Roadeo has pretty low gears too considering I never carry much on it. People always say to me, I don't want lower gears because then I couldn't balance. I never understood that. I don't have a bit of problem riding at 2.5 mph for long periods of time when I'm climbing something ridiculously steep on one of my Rivendell bikes. But now I understand. I thought when I bought my new Surly Krampus mountain bike I'd be able to climb even steeper dirt roads than I now can climb on my Atlanti. I thought, I have an absurdly low gear on the Krampus (15.6 inches, something like that), I have all the traction in the world, I can climb anything. But no. I'm finding that I climb *worse* on the Krampus. It's frustrating. There are dirt sections that I have no trouble on with the Atlantis, with smooth tires, that I can't climb on the Krampus with the knobbies. What's going on here? Front-end geometry? Wheel weight? Bottom bracket height? I'm beginning to think I should have bought the Surly ECR (like several people recommended) instead of the Krampus. Or maybe I just need to learn how to climb on this new bike. On the other hand, when I bought the bike I also thought I'd be able to go down steep trails that I'm afraid to descend on the Atlantis, and that has proved to be true. My husband took one look at my new bike and said, Wow, you have better traction on that than you have on foot.

There is a surprising amount of stuff that can be put into an Altoids can. FWIW Tool Kit A is Jobst Brandt's. I have several Cool Tools that I have picked up over the years and would be my tool of choice when touring. It's a pretty complete package that can do most things that need to be done on the road with a bike. One of the comments on the Pardo site is very important: the best bike tool is preventive maintenance- periodically inspect the bike for things that are wearing out or breaking. The best bike part failure is the one that doesn't happen. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] On-bike tools: what is your choice or favorite?
Each bike has either a muti-tool or a Park WTK-1 kit. Then in the handlebar bag is usually a Park MT-1. Try to also have a small Swiss Army knife on each bike. Had been carrying 1 tube per bike, but after a recent spate of flats, may go up to two. Also, all the kits have a chain tool of some sort. Have twice helped folks with busted/twisted chains to get back on the road. Yes, I'm way over-prepared. For 99 percent of my riding could get by with the MT-1 and a tire lever. Still prefer the mental safety net of the extra tools.

They fit into an Altoids-type can very well. In addition to the tools shown, I have a tiny Swiss Army folding pliers thingy in one tool kit and in another I carry a small jackknife that was my Dad's. There is a surprising amount of stuff that can be put into an Altoids can. FWIW Tool Kit A is Jobst Brandt's. I have several Cool Tools that I have picked up over the years and would be my tool of choice when touring. It's a pretty complete package that can do most things that need to be done on the road with a bike. One of the comments on the Pardo site is very important: the best bike tool is preventive maintenance- periodically inspect the bike for things that are wearing out or breaking. The best bike part failure is the one that doesn't happen. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Bigger and better than ever, this one contains every badge variation I'm aware of and had access to. 42 in all! I don't doubt there are a few scarce variations out there, and of course as soon as I post this another few will show up, but such is life. 20 years of Rivendell history captured on a single page. Don't ask if I have them all - I don't. Grant loaned most of them to me to take photos of a long, long time ago. Others I had to photoshop from head tube shots. No stumps or canvas this time - I wanted to go clean to celebrate the beauty of the badges alone. They tell an amazing story. The file here is not the HiRes version. Once I clean things up a bit I will post a link to the file. I do not plan to print these for sale, it's more like a gift to the bunch for your loyalty and bunchiness. Give me a week or so to do that. Until then, have a look at some amazing artwork, brought to you by the clever, creative minds at Rivendell Bicycle Works, and the artists and badge-makers who brought these to life Enjoy! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] need one right gripster pedal
Howdy, I have a slightly used pair of Grip Kings that might work for you. Doesn't it make sense to have matching pedals? I also have a pair of MKS ezy quick release road pedals that are barely used that might work nicely with the brompton. These (or close to it): http://m.evanscycles.com/products/mks/ar-2-ezy-quick-release-road-pedals-ec023221 I might not have the plastic safety rings but those should be easily had- they stop the pedal from coming off. I never had a problem but also never realized there could be a problem. If you are interested in either let me know and we can work something out. Cheers!

Re: [RBW] New Head-Badge Poster!
A work of art for sure! Thanks, JimD. On Apr 29, 2014, at 6:24 PM, Marty mgie...@mac.com wrote: Can't believe it's been two years since the last version - about time I came up with a new one. Bigger and better than ever, this one contains every badge variation I'm aware of and had access to. 42 in all! I don't doubt there are a few scarce variations out there, and of course as soon as I post this another few will show up, but such is life. 20 years of Rivendell history captured on a single page. Don't ask if I have them all - I don't. Grant loaned most of them to me to take photos of a long, long time ago. Others I had to photoshop from head tube shots. No stumps or canvas this time - I wanted to go clean to celebrate the beauty of the badges alone. They tell an amazing story. The file here is not the HiRes version. Once I clean things up a bit I will post a link to the file. I do not plan to print these for sale, it's more like a gift to the bunch for your loyalty and bunchiness. Give me a week or so to do that. Until then, have a look at some amazing artwork, brought to you by the clever, creative minds at Rivendell Bicycle Works, and the artists and badge-makers who brought these to life Enjoy! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Interim tour report from a ride on an Atlantis
That's just a great product endorsement for Rivendell. Sounds like you're having a fantastic trip! Just amazing! Cheers, David it isn't a contest. Just enjoy the ride. - Seth Vidal On Tue, Apr 29, 2014 at 7:28 AM, Wally wwer...@gmail.com wrote: Hi everyone! I have been riding my Atlantis on a cross country journey. I'm about a third of the way through, and I wanted to report on all of the problems I have had with this bike and setup. None. That is right. No bike issues, with frame (Atlantis), racks (Nitto front and rear), components (mostly Shimano XT), saddle (sprung Brooks), panniers (Ortlieb), wheels (40 spoke w/Phil Wood hubs), or tires (Schwalbe Marathon). I have gone about 2,200 miles from Key West, FL to Oklahoma City, OK, and apart from putting some lube on the chain after it rained and adding air to the tires once, I have done nothing at all to the bike, except ride it. By purely random chance, the bike also visited what must be a Rivendell country home just south of the Red River in East Texas. You can see a photo here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/124120280@N02/with/14060809651/ If you are interested in seeing more photos and some commentary on the trip, you can go to http://keystoalaska.com. Ultimately I am headed to Homer, Alaska on sort of a beginning-of-the-road to end-of-the-road journey.
