This is with index shifting, or friction?



OK, then let me state dogmatically that properly adjusted indexed 
shifters operating with unworn cassettes, chains and chain rings do not 
ghost shift.

[RBW] Re: Handlebar flavors

[Tony DeFilippo]

The piles of scrap housing or to-early-frayed cables is definitely the cost of 
indecision in handlebar selection... To include the shifter type/location 
excursions.

I was enjoying the albatross bars on my Atlantis and then on the Saluki but 
found that I had some nagging left forearm numbness during my GAP trip in days 
two and three... So I just rebuilt the new to me Saluki with the original 46cm 
Noodles.  We'll see how that goes, I need to get some miles in with the drops 
my only century was on noodles and my hands never went numb... Then again my 
normal 15 mike roundtrip committee is very nice on albatross and moustache bars.

Big Basin is wonderful, but as Jim said, all the riding there is hilly. If
you want to camp near where you could make a coastal/inland loop that was
less hilly, though by no means flat, you could camp at Butano State Park or
Half Moon Bay State Beach. You could then make a loop going south on
Highway 1 and north on Gazos Creek/Cloverdale/Stage Road/Tunitas/Lobitos
Cutoff/Verde/Purisima Creek/Higgins Canyon.

[campyonlyguy]

One cheap and interesting place to look into would be the hostel at the Pigeon 
Point lighthouse. I haven't stayed there, but I've been there, and it looks 
nice. Plenty of great riding option up and down the coast and inland. Check 
with the Santa Cruz Randonneurs or RUSA for suggested routes--they offer a lot 
of brevets and permanents in the area, and you could easily do part of one of 
their rides.

I'll be on a bit of a family vacation driving from LA to SF and a bit north 
starting around the 15th of June and will have my folding Bike Friday in tow so 
I  hope to get in a casual ride or two along the coast.  Are there any 
recommendations for cheap/interesting hotels or camping spots south or north of

Hi Chris,
For some reason I can't find a way to pm you from my tablet, but I've got some

inserting them but other than that they've hardly been used.

[RBW] Re: Ghost shift on a 61cm Atlantis?

[Ron Mc]

my buddy had a ghost shift on his Mercian - always shifted to harder gear 
when he loading it down.  Of course the bike has thin, somewhat flexible 
stays.  He solved it by lengthening the rear housing on his derailleur 
cable.  

On Sunday, June 1, 2014 11:52:51 AM UTC-5, William! wrote:

 My Atlantis has had occasional ghost shifting issues since I first built 
 it up. Usually when standing up to pedal, only in the middle cogs (highest 
 and lowest cog are fine). 

 Things I've tried:

- The whole drive train has been replaced a few times as I've worn it 
out. I've learned the hard way and keep a careful eye on chain stretch and 
tooth wear. So the problem is probably not the drive train.
- The silver bar end shifters are tight, probably tighter than needed. 
I've tried beeswax, replacing the plastic thingies. Pretty sure they are 
not slipping, the problem is probably not in the shifters.
- Tried using a cable liner along the bottom bracket shell. The thing 
tends to slip up and become useless after a few dozen shifts and I don't 
think it is making a difference even when properly aligned. The problem 
could be here.

 At this point I'm thinking it's the frame – either the bottom bracket 
 shell cable routing or excessive frame flex. I'm thinking of tapping the 
 bottom bracket shell to install a proper cable route. Anyone tried that? 
 Anyone else dealt with this issue on largish Atlantis or other similar Rivs?

Re: [RBW] California Visit - Recommendations???

[Anne Paulson]

I've stayed both at Pigeon Point hostel and at the Montara hostel north of
Half Moon Bay. As I remember, both are standard hostels. Both are located,
as befitting former lighthouses, right on the ocean, in good riding
locations. If you stay at Montara, you could do Planet of the Apes and
return through the new tunnel, though come to think of it, those little
Friday wheels would probably not be ideal for Planet of the Apes.

 Hey

 I'll be on a bit of a family vacation driving from LA to SF and a bit
 north starting around the 15th of June and will have my folding Bike Friday
 in tow so I  hope to get in a casual ride or two along the coast.  Are
 there any recommendations for cheap/interesting hotels or camping spots
 south or north of SF.  How about sections for a ride along the coast?

 Thanks in advance for any recommendations...

Re: [RBW] California Visit - Recommendations???

[Eric Norris]

If you’re into hosteling, another option that I can recommend is the Point 
Reyes hostel. It’s about 40 miles from SF and is in a very secluded location 
near the Pacific coast. The roads are fine for small wheels, but beware the 17% 
uphill stretch just outside the hostel on the way back to the coast!

[RBW] SKS Fenders

[Matt Lynch]

Yesterday I was on some Northern California single track, and with the 
unpredictability of recent weather  still had my SKS Longboards installed.  
Low and behold a stick got caught up in my front fender.  I can happily 
report the safety release worked as advertised!  I was going fairly slow so 
there was no damage to the wheel, fork, or myself and only a small crack in 
the fender near the mounting bracket.  I was able to reconnect the fender 
and go about my way.  

I've always thought the likelihood of this happening to be pretty low.  And 
it probably is.  But now that it has happened to me, I don't think I would 
want any fender without this breakaway feature.  I highly endorse SKS.

In light of this, I think the rainy season has ended so I've taken the 
fenders off till next year.

[RBW] Carradice Duxback Poncho - Opinions?

[Jonathan Shinefeld]

Hi Bobby, I've had a Duxback poncho for years. With spats I stay dry and it's 
my choice for cold rainy days with a light layer underneath. It is less 
wonderful in high winds, acting like a sail.  Of course with the wind at my 
back, I get where I'm going lickety split. That said, I just ordered a Showers 
Pass Touring rain jacket on clearance from the manufacturer for half price 
($75).

[RBW] Re: Ghost shift on a 61cm Atlantis?

[Christopher Johnson]

Since no one has mentioned it, have you tried loosening the B-screw on the 
rear derailleur?  Loosening the B-screw moves the derailleur arm forward, 
which lets the chain wrap more around your cogs.  

Messing with the B-screw on friction drivetrains has gotten me extra life 
out of some really worn parts on a variety of frames.

On Sunday, June 1, 2014 9:52:51 AM UTC-7, William! wrote:

 My Atlantis has had occasional ghost shifting issues since I first built 
 it up. Usually when standing up to pedal, only in the middle cogs (highest 
 and lowest cog are fine). 

 Things I've tried:

- The whole drive train has been replaced a few times as I've worn it 
out. I've learned the hard way and keep a careful eye on chain stretch and 
tooth wear. So the problem is probably not the drive train.
- The silver bar end shifters are tight, probably tighter than needed. 
I've tried beeswax, replacing the plastic thingies. Pretty sure they are 
not slipping, the problem is probably not in the shifters.
- Tried using a cable liner along the bottom bracket shell. The thing 
tends to slip up and become useless after a few dozen shifts and I don't 
think it is making a difference even when properly aligned. The problem 
could be here.

 At this point I'm thinking it's the frame – either the bottom bracket 
 shell cable routing or excessive frame flex. I'm thinking of tapping the 
 bottom bracket shell to install a proper cable route. Anyone tried that? 
 Anyone else dealt with this issue on largish Atlantis or other similar Rivs?

 Nitto Albatross or similar upright bar
 Short Pull Levers
 Thumb shifters - friction/7/8 speed

 I'm looking for quality, but ugly components - like old beat-up XT. Thank

[RBW] Re: California Visit - Recommendations???

[Christopher Johnson]

If you feel like riding up a big hill while you are in the San Francisco 
area, I recommend Hawk Hill.  It's just on the Marin side of the Golden 
Gate Bridge, and it follows the cost for about a mile and a half (all of 
which is uphill).  The payoff is a great view of the bridge and San 
Francisco; one of those post card views.

Re: [RBW] Quickbeam's Pedigree...

[Trenker]

 

I have a 66 cm Quickbeam and a 66 cm Atlantis. I would agree with Mr. 
Powers that the Quickbeam is not a lightweight tubeset. 

Rivendell advertised the Simpleone as having 0.9/0.6/0.9 tubing all around, 
and I would be surprised if the Quickbeam is any lighter. 

The main difference I can detect between the Quickbeam and Atlantis is that 
the Quickbeam has a longer top tube. So you could call it kind of a 
single-speed touring bike. But it’s designed to be that way, let’s face it, 
Rivendells are strong bikes made to be ridden on rough surfaces, often by 
heavy riders. 

I’ve had mine since 2009 and I ride it a lot, I can’t say I’d change 
anything about it. 

To me there are a few questions:

Is a more flexible frame easier to pedal, and more efficient over long 
distances? I believe it is possible to feel the difference, but I am not 
sure anyone has proven which takes less energy to pedal. 

Is a stiffer frame with heavier tubing less likely to break? You would 
think so, but frames seem to break at certain spots, so you could ask if 
the top tube, for example, really needs to be that heavy. And is it 
actually better to have some flex built in at certain points to take stress 
off other parts of the frame? 

There are a lot of things to ponder while just riding. :-)

North of SF, there is a hostel in the Marin Headlands, which is accessible 
via the Hawk Hill / Conzulman Road route.

There is also an SF ferry which goes to Larkspur, and you can take the bike 
path north through Cal Park Tunnel to San Rafael, then over to China Camp 
State Park (looping around San Pedro Point Road/North San Pedro is a good 
scenic route) where you can camp and roll around the singletrack.  

There's also Samuel P. Taylor Park on the way to Olema on Sir Francis Drake 
Blvd. 

hope that helps a bit!

[RBW] Re: California Visit - Recommendations???

[Dave]

While in SF, bring your bike onto a ferry from fisherman's wharf heading to 
Angel's Island.  There's an easy 5-mile perimeter loop with amazing views 
of the bay area provided it's a clear day.  If not a clear day, don't do 
this trip as it's not worth it.  Bikes available for rent on the island 
itself if your family wants to come along.  The perimeter loop has a few 
climbs but is fun and gorgeous.

I'm having a problem sending emails out here for some reason, but I was 
thinking of this project this weekend. I really would like a nice

be set up with racks and bags ect. (not too loaded touring bike-like

 was going to request that they make a general announcement on their Blug, 
 via the Newsletter and possibly through an Instagram post.  But, I wanted 
 to wait until around now before making a second push.

 Also, the focus of most discussions has been features and brainstorming 
 for the model.  Some of the feedback from the people who are interested but 
 have not yet committed is that they are waiting until that conversation had 
 ended or at least waned a bit.

 Hope that helps!

[RBW] Re: Quickbeam's Pedigree...

[Cyclofiend Jim]

Not sure I have a strong opinion, but here are some thoughts:

I've never been convinced that that QB is inherently quicker than the AHH 
by virtue of the frame - I've always got the dangly bits on the Hilsen, and 
that confounded coastable rear wheel which always confuses me a bit... But, 
the result is that the riding of the AHH is never quite the same as the QB 
even though at times my setups have been nearly identical.  

I've been riding the AHH pretty exclusively for recent months - mostly 
because I want to replace the crank on the QB and my sloth has prevented me 
from getting to it.  (Pesky sloth). It will be interesting to see what the 
QB feels like after an extended focus on the other one.  Of course, since I 
usually ride the QB fixed, there's an inherent drivetrain difference which 
always makes the orange bike feel a bit snappier.  Plus, it is orange, 
which helps.  

All of which is to say that they are close cousins.  And I would say - 
having never owned one but having ridden a couple - that the Rambouillet is 
definitely the third horse in that troika, and if I had to rank them it 
would range from Rambouillet to AHH with the QB in the middle, in terms of 
burly-ness of frames.  FWIW - I find the Sam a little more robust, probably 
a near neighbor with the Atlantis, followed by the Hunqa, then to the realm 
of the Bombadil. 

Both the AHH and QB have similar characteristics in handling under weird 
and wacky trail conditions, which is where I seem to find myself most 
frequently.  Of course, I've never ridden a GP-design that didn't behave 
well generally, and rambling in particular.

 My Atlantis has had occasional ghost shifting issues since I first built 
 it up. Usually when standing up to pedal, only in the middle cogs (highest 
 and lowest cog are fine). 

 Things I've tried:

- The whole drive train has been replaced a few times as I've worn it 
out. I've learned the hard way and keep a careful eye on chain stretch and 
tooth wear. So the problem is probably not the drive train.
- The silver bar end shifters are tight, probably tighter than needed. 
I've tried beeswax, replacing the plastic thingies. Pretty sure they are 
not slipping, the problem is probably not in the shifters.
- Tried using a cable liner along the bottom bracket shell. The thing 
tends to slip up and become useless after a few dozen shifts and I don't 
think it is making a difference even when properly aligned. The problem 
could be here.

 At this point I'm thinking it's the frame – either the bottom bracket 
 shell cable routing or excessive frame flex. I'm thinking of tapping the 
 bottom bracket shell to install a proper cable route. Anyone tried that? 
 Anyone else dealt with this issue on largish Atlantis or other similar Rivs?

[RBW] TRP CX8.4 mini Vs on Atlantis

[dougP]

Today I installed a pair of TRP CX8.4 mini V brakes on my wife's Atlantis.  
Over the years, we've tried various combinations, with only marginal 
success.  The stock Tiagra levers fit her hands nicely and seem to 
work'n'play well with the mini Vs.  No extensive test ride yet but on a 
casual spin around the neighborhood she sees a major improvement in both 
control and braking power.  On top of that, they look good, are easy to 
install and set-up.  It was definitely my lucky day:  I only had to replace 
the front brake housing  cable; exiting hardware worked on the rear.  I've 
had full size Vs on my Atlantis for quite a while  like 'em a lot.  Life 
is good.

 Anyways, all are very lightly used  in excellent shape. Let me just say 
 the grid grey goes great with any color of Hilsen, IMHO!

 $250 shipped for the set. I'd like to keep it complete right now and no 
 trades please. Pick in Chicago would be awesome!

Re: [RBW] TRP CX8.4 mini Vs on Atlantis

[dougP]

Mike:

The instructions call for 1 mm clearance per side, and that seems to work 
well on both the minis and full size.  Cantis seem more tolerant of larger 
clearances but 2 mm per side is a lot.  So overall you're working in a 
narrow range.  True wheels are a big help.

[RBW] I raced my Riv.

['Tony McG' via RBW Owners Bunch]

My Atlantis was not the only Rivendell in the Almonzo 100, but I am pretty 
sure that there was not another Riv in the Dirty Kanza 200 or Half Pint. 
 The bike performed flawlessly except for my sloppy friction shifting.   
About a year ago, I drove up to Spring Valley, MN and rode with Jim Thill 
and a bunch of country bike cyclist on the Almonzo 100 course.  After that 
experience, I decided that gravel was a lot safer and more scenic than 
riding on pavement.  I built a Surly LHT into a gravel grinder and started 
riding with Guitar Ted on Saturday mornings for a 3-hour gravel ride.  I 
found the Atlantis on this forum and realized that it was a much nicer ride 
than the Trucker; the Surly has been hanging in the garage since.

I wasn't out to win, just finish.  I haven't heard where I placed in the 
Almonzo, but I finished the DK Half Pint in the top 1/4 of the starters and 
the top 1/3 of the finishers.  I carried too much stuff, and should have 
run lower air pressure in the tires.  I was afraid of pinch flats on the 
cattle grates, but I was able to wheelie or hop the bike over most of them. 
 After the race, one of the more experienced riders suggested 35# in the 
front and 40# in the back; I was running 45# in both of the Schwalbe Dureme 
700cX40.  I am looking forward to trying the Half Pint (111 miles) again 
next year, but I doubt if I will ever do the 200.  After 8 hours of gravel, 
wind, hills, heat, and sun, I am ready to get off of the bike.

I love this bike and really love passing guys half my age on carbon fiber 
'cross bikes...

Re: [RBW] Re: RBW 20th Anniversary Gathering and Entmoot -- SF Bay edition

[Abcyclehank]

Anyone willing to help a Michigander out by lending a 68cm-64cm bike for the 
weekend.  Decided to ride my motorcycle(BMW '95 R1100GS packed with 66cm Bike 
Friday, hammock, and basic survival gear minus hatchet (yet likely bringing a 
new one home).
The original plan was to fly out with a bike and the wife who has been 
promising to show me Northern California for the past 23 years.  She just 
canceled her portion of the trip, but I am committed to migrate regardless 
because that is a major perk of being a poorly paid public school teacher.  I 
have 8 weeks for adventure between June and August. 
My fallback might be swinging through Washington state to possibly collect a 
68cm Atlantis to join my fleet back in the Wolverine State.

Sincerely,
Ryan Hankinson
Contact me off list if you might be able to help me out and to discuss 
compensation package.

Re: [RBW] Re: RBW 20th Anniversary Gathering and Entmoot -- SF Bay edition

[Jim M.]

As mentioned above, I've reserved a 40-person group site at China Camp for 
2 nights, July 12  13th. And because it's RBW's backyard, I've reserved a 
30-person group site on Mt Diablo for Monday, July 14th. I assume there 
will be some drop off of attendees, or even some informal camping in the 
backcountry for Monday. 

Master wheelbuilder Rich Lesnik has confirmed his attendance, as has RBW 
all around nice guy Vince Nivolo. More announcements of RBW folk will be 
forthcoming.

For planning purposes, now would be a good time to let me know if you're 
really going to attend. The poll didn't exceed 40, but if we have many more 
than that, we should get another campsite or two.

I have some volunteers already, but if you want to volunteer for something 
(leading a ride, cooking, shuttling, moonshine distilling), let me know 
that too.

cheers

Jim,

Dude thanks so much for doing the reservations...I plan on being down/up
for the 12th  13th. I was planning on catching the Coast Starlight Monday
morning. I could if the Riv fever has me leave Tuesday morning?? Anyway I'm
down for two nights at CC. I will of course reimburse for my portion.

Anyone have a space for me potentially Sunday night around Oakland Jack
London Square so I can get up early to pack my bike and catch the train?

[Michael]

 Living in MD, it is hard to imagine riding on 100 miles of gravel 
 road/trail.

I just don't know of anything like that around here. 
That looks like some fun and beautiful scenery to ride through.
Congrats on the great accomplishment!

Thanks Dan.

Full disclosure. I need to be there no later than say 7 am. I hope that's
not an inconvenience? The train leaves @ 8:50 am and I know how stuff
happens when you try to jam time. I'll need to purchase a box
 disassemble/pack the Atlantis.

[RBW] BTWD San Diego 2014

[Tom Virgil]

Our BTWD was delayed by two weeks due to the fires in San Diego.  All is 
well now (for most of us, but my heart goes out to those who lost).  The 
morning pit stops had some cool stuff and I salute the provisioners and 
volunteers.

But, sometimes, I wish it was called Bike From Work Day.  That always 
seems to be where the sweet spot happens.
