[RBW] Re: New guy to the forum
Welcome in, Jon. Good luck on the hunt. I think the subject matter immersion here acts as recovery from other less interesting wear and tear of the body and soul that life's path produces. I know I reverted to road riding from mountain biking. In that time I rediscovered how much fun it is to ride away beyond the pavement on whatever bike you have. Lots of folks here riding places and terrain that isn't conventional road biking.

[RBW] Re: The Rivendell Bike Weight Thread
Hmm, I don't have a scale. Observations from the real world on last week's group ride: I didn't have to ride around standing water from recent rainfall to avoid striping my back, didn't have to ride around gravel on the roadway in places where streets had been torn up but not yet repaved, I was not unnerved by uneven road surfaces descending and I stopped to provide aid with my full-size frame pump to a rider on a CF super light who had a flat to a 23c tire and flubbed his CO2 thingy and had no other way to air up the new tube. As we rode back to the tail of the group I enjoyed my second bottle of water on the subsequent climb, CF guy stopped at a trash can along the river path and discarded both the tube and the empty gas bulbs. Weighing me down. Yeah. I'll weigh my Rambouillet sometime and it'll be a number. I tend to think of it as bringing enough bike when the peripherals draw weight consternation from the obsessive camp.

[RBW] Re: HAR!!
Q/R lever direction: In the old days there were two ways for the rear 1. Horizontal forward 2. Bisecting the seat and chainstays and two for the front: 1. Horizontal rear 2. Parallel with fork blade, more or less. In time trials people made them parallel. The safety argument for rearward front arguments and front backwards horizontal has made sense intuitively for most of a century, I'm sure, but kind of comes apart in real life, like this: I remember reading Don't Do This because in a race (or presumably then anywhere in tight bike traffic) somebody's front tire could get in between the lever and the frame and wronch it open; and if not another rider's wheel, maybe a bush or a branch. But imagine the forces required for that to happen. Whether it's another rider's wheel or a stick or anything else...the interference will make you crash instantly, and no stunt rider in the world could lever either q/r open while on the bike. So it comes down to habit, aesthetics, whatever else. I kind of like the 2 o'clock look and the yeah, what of it? message it sends. Anyway, the HAB hides it.

There is an image printed in the instructions that resolves this. What happened Nitto? I am a little put off by not having room to have the quick release lever on the axle skewer facing somewhat forward. There is just no room for it to close toward the back of the bike. My thought is that the levers should always be positioned to the read to avoid being opened by an encounter with something.

[RBW] Re: The Rivendell Bike Weight Thread
Andy I like what you had to say about utility. I agree that a truly stripped down bike that is often not enough bike for the job is kind of lame. That said, a stripped down bike that is just enough bike for a stripped down application can be cool, too. Anyway, the only build I have that I sweated the weight is not a Rivendell. It's my main brevet bike. I list it here, at the risk of being too far OT, just because it's a build kit that could work just as well on a Rivendell. The summary highlight is that it's a steel frameset, wide tires, all metal parts, a front rack and decaleur, dynamo hub, front and rear lights, full coverage fenders and fender flap, and a bell, and still weighs 21.0 lbs. It features a lot of nice MUSA parts. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-FrkwigUjetg/U9-dA0VGLTI/CIg/YFuFnMUguq0/s1600/IMG_3494.JPG My Rawland Stag Frameset: Rawland Stag Size Large (58cm), Jeff Lyon custom threadless fork, Miche headset Wheelset: White T11 R hub, Schmidt front, Pacenti PL23 rims, Pari-moto tires, Schwalbe SV14A tubes (from Riv), allen key skewers Drivetrain: Rene Herse cranks, Ultegra SPD pedals, Dura Ace 10sp F+R Ders, and DT shifters. SRAM 11-26 cassette and chain, WI Ti BB. Components: Soba bars, Kelly Stem, CR720 brakes (from Riv), modified Tektro brakelevers, Paul Funky Monkey hangers, Ultegra Seatpost, Selle Italia SLR Ti saddle, newbaums tape (from Riv) Extras: Grand Bois rack, Berthoud decaleur, hanging Edelux headlamp (from Riv), Ti King Cages (from Riv), alloy crane bell, Honjo hammered fenders, homemade flap, Pixeo battery powered taillight. The only carbon bit on the bike is the rear derailer pulley cage has some carbon. I did a few weight shaving tricks in the build. I had been shooting for under 19lbs when the fenders and lights were off, but as you could predict, I never ride it with the fenders and lights removed, so who knows whether I actually made it. :) Bill Lindsay El Cerrito, CA On Monday, August 4, 2014 2:15:10 AM UTC-7, ascpgh wrote: Hmm, I don't have a scale.

Re: [RBW] Re: WTB VP thin gripster/med. wald basket
That is a bummer. There are several shops in Berkeley and Oakland where I know I can just stroll in and grab basic things like that. Merry Sales is a distributor that sources many Wald products, so whatever shop you walk into, you could just ask them if they order from Merry Sales. If they do, then they can get you your Wald basket. The only reason I recommend that is that shipping costs have gotten so out of hand, you might have a $20 basket that costs $20 to ship. Either way, best of luck. Bill On Monday, August 4, 2014 10:57:38 AM UTC-7, Conway Bennett wrote: You'd think. Can't find anything more than a wedge bag unless I go to rei.

[RBW] Wanted: 53 Roadeo or 54 Rambouillet

Re: [RBW] Re: Rivendell should hook up with these people
My wife did buy a pair of Ginghers in 2006 (soon after the 2005 merger) which couldn't cut right. She returned them for another pair with the same problem. They may have both been mislabeled Left Handed scissors, since she had to turn them upside-down to get them to work. I think she sorted it out with them, but it was stressful.

Those Atlantis and San Marcos weights are really impressive. That Atlantis build has basically nothing light on it, has full-on heavy wheels, and still is only 26 pounds? That's a big surprise. The San Marcos would be under 20lbs if you took off the kickstand, pump and seat bag? That's incredible. I never would have thought that possible. It's got 2 top tubes for gosh sake! There are pounds to be taken off both builds, but 'reasonable' is in the eye of the beholder. I assume you mean reasonable in dollars. Chasing grams on a perfectly good build is a fool's errand.

[RBW] Upcoming visit to the Bay Area - With bike - Recommendations?
There are a couple of other threads from a while back that broached this subject, but I thought I would start a new one for freshness' sake. So, I'll be travelling to SF in a couple of weeks for some brief vacation time, and will be bringing a bike along with me. Naturally, I have done my share of reading ride reports and ogling others' pictures over the years, but please share your favourite online resources and tips. I have been to SF once before, in 2008, so I am generally familiar with the layout of the place. I didn't do any cycling then, though. Timeframe is August 18-26. For the first few days I'll be staying with friends in Berkeley; the rest at an AirBNB in Oakland. Would like to explore Marin, Berkeley Hills, Diablo and Walnut Creek, and the city proper. Any kind of day ride, really. Open to any suggestions you might have! Of course, I'm up for some rides with other list folks, if you are around during the weekdays. Also, my GF will also be joining me - but *sans-velo* - from the 23rd onwards the after attending a conference in BC, and would interested in either borrowing a bike from a list members or hearing about good bike rental options for the weekend.

[RBW] Re: Advice needed on knee pain (yet another thread)
Well, pain hasn't subsided after all this time so I went to the doctor. The tentative diagnosis is a torn meniscus. MRI tomorrow morning and an appointment with a sports medicine MD to determine whether I should do PT or have surgery. Over the weekend I talked with Vince at Riv about saddle height. I checked my saddle height and it was maybe a half-inch *high* after all my afore mentioned fiddling around. Unknown if this was the culprit or exasperated an existing condition. I should add that decades of backing up a touring motorcycle from a riding position took its toll as well. (Black 1973 BMW R75/5 with a toaster tank for those inquiring minds) Anyway, keep y'all posted as I know more. In the meantime, still off the bike.

[RBW] Re: The Rivendell Bike Weight Thread
My curousity beat my who cares? attitude. 58 cm Atlantis, pretty standard Rivendell build (Brooks, Sugino triple, etc), with Soma C-lines on Mavic A-719 rims, Tubus Cosmo rear rack small Nitto front, Acorn boxy bag with usual assortment of junk: 36-1/2 lbs.(dry; no water). Since I had the scale handy I weighed the Acorn bag alone @ 5 lbs. To get under 30 lbs would mean giving up a lot of utility (not my kickstand!). Ain't gonna happen. Still, this is a fun exercise every once in a while. IIRC, my bike always gains weight. Just weighed my wife's 47 cm Atlantis: 30 lbs as she usually rides it: Riv built plus kickstand, cheap aluminum rack with REI trunk bag, and small Acorn handlebar bag. Without the trunk bag, 27 lbs. 32 hole wheels w/Compass tires.

[RBW] Re: The Rivendell Bike Weight Thread
I posted the weight of my 54cm Hunqapillar yesterday (31.4 lbs. with nothing but a rear rack) and now I'm 'weighing in' with my 56cm Atlantis. It tips the scales at a svelte 29.4 pounds with SKS fenders and a Nitto rear rack. The Atlantis is built with components typical for a Rivendell: Brooks B17 saddle Soma mustache bars Nitto Technomic stem Sugino XD2 triple crankset, Silver bar end shifters Tektro Oryx cantilever brakes Tektro 200 brake levers Grip King pedals Deore XT hubs 8-speed cassette Deore rear der Suntour XC LTD front der Alex DA16 rims with 1.5 x 26 Pasela Tourguard tires It would be reasonable to expect a Hunqapillar to weight about two pounds more than an Atlantis with roughly the same components and accessories. At least that is my experience. Some of the difference in my case is the 26x1.5 Pasela tires on my Atlantis are significantly lighter than the 700x50 Schwalbe Big Bens on the Hunq. This thread is interesting - so much of the weight of a bike is in the components, lights, accessories, racks, bags, and what is inside the bags. That stuff has weight, but it is what makes a bicycle more comfortable, practical and useful. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Liesl, Looking back on your original post everyone came though exactly as desired and expected. Unfortunately advice occasionally contradicted even the ever wise Deacon and the extremely intelligent Michael. Even Grant himself weighed in with a logical possibility. Fortunately you are moving forward with your own perspective and trusted your mind and gut. Just curious whether the pain location has centralized more over the last few days towards the inside or outward portion of the knee cap? If the MRI reveals the initial diagnosis of a meniscus tear feel free to contact me off line again or give me a call. My 22 year old daughter has had 3 meniscus surgeries which ended her college volleyball career but with excellent PT she bikes as well as ever and now has essentially no other limitations.

[RBW] Re: Upcoming visit to the Bay Area - With bike - Recommendations?
Plenty of options in the East Bay! I assume you are road riding? I live on the Oakland/Berkeley border and tend to ride up Tunnel Rd to Grizzly Peak with a plethora of options from there. I like Tunnel Road just on the Oakland side because even though its a long 45 minutes up, the grade is never super steep, very manageable. Shasta Rd in Berkeley (near the university) is another easy way up. Once you're up in the hills there are many options, with not many cars. Here's a few of my common routes for point of reference: Oakland to Walnut Creek short version (one big climb and descent, followed by multi use bike paths): http://www.strava.com/routes/239659 Oakland to Walnut Creek, longer hillier version: http://www.strava.com/routes/264659 Oakland To Orinda BART (i think this is called the 3 bears loop, lots of climbing!): http://www.strava.com/routes/239640 Tour of Oakland: http://www.strava.com/routes/277550 (one small climb followed by mostly flat ride. Starts in Rockridge, through Montclair, up in the hills, down through Piedmont, Lake Merrit, over the Bay Bridge, very urban with traffic but fun) Those are some of the ones I like leaving from Oakland. Plenty more riding around Walnut Creek and Diablo and I'm sure others will chime in. Have fun! I'll be around for a weekend ride.

Thanks for the tidbits. I'm still weighing the pros and cons of bringing the Rambouillet vs. bringing the Cross Check.

I just need to pedal as fast as I can from thing to thing, right? 8^S KJ On Monday, August 4, 2014 10:25:30 PM UTC-4, DS wrote: Plenty of options in the East Bay! I assume you are road riding? I live on the Oakland/Berkeley border and tend to ride up Tunnel Rd to Grizzly Peak with a plethora of options from there. I like Tunnel Road just on the Oakland side because even though its a long 45 minutes up, the grade is never super steep, very manageable. Shasta Rd in Berkeley (near the university) is another easy way up. Once you're up in the hills there are many options, with not many cars. Here's a few of my common routes for point of reference: Oakland to Walnut Creek short version (one big climb and descent, followed by multi use bike paths): http://www.strava.com/routes/239659 Oakland to Walnut Creek, longer hillier version: http://www.strava.com/routes/264659 Oakland To Orinda BART (i think this is called the 3 bears loop, lots of climbing!): http://www.strava.com/routes/239640 Tour of Oakland: http://www.strava.com/routes/277550 (one small climb followed by mostly flat ride. Starts in Rockridge, through Montclair, up in the hills, down through Piedmont, Lake Merrit, over the Bay Bridge, very urban with traffic but fun) Those are some of the ones I like leaving from Oakland. Plenty more riding around Walnut Creek and Diablo and I'm sure others will chime in. Have fun! I'll be around for a weekend ride. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Advice needed on knee pain (yet another thread)
Good question, Ryan! I would say that while initially I felt the pain to be on the outside/front of my knee, just now it seems more on the inside front just below the kneecap. The knee has been buckling, they felt a lot of fluid under the kneecap, and the pain is punctuated (she says with a good deal of understatement) when extending the lower leg/descending. These are all symptoms. Glad to hear your daughter's tale. Will keep you posted. This is a ridiculous summer of stupid injury for me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: The Rivendell Bike Weight Thread
Oh. I see I'm not playing nice. Model: 2013 Sam Hillborne Framesize: 52 cm (old sizing) Weight: 35 lbs includes Sackville small seat bag with Sackville tool roll inside (tube, patch kit, multitool inside), empty bottles, Acorn handlebar bag (empty), bottles (empty), and Zefal Pump. I am going to guess 31-32 lbs without all of that. It is a standard build with change outs of noodle bars for Albas and additions of a Brooks B67 saddle, Shimano Dura-Ace bar ends for silver levers, and Thin Gripsters. The 36 hole Velocity Atlas front rim was changed out for a 32 hole Velocity Synergy with a Shimano LX Dynamo and there is an Eyc front headlamp (cool little light) and Dyno Rack Light. I added a Nitto Mark's Front Rack M1 and Nitto M14 in back. Hoommm. Let's not be hasty. I guess i's not a standard build any more. That seems to happen with these bikes. ~Tom On Monday, August 4, 2014 8:15:33 PM UTC-7, Tom Virgil wrote: https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-QmGinrFmagw/U-BMNW_ovJI/AF0/BqiNnKKshFE/s1600/14130213923_0c4dda5fba_o.jpg https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-QmGinrFmagw/U-BMNW_ovJI/AF0/BqiNnKKshFE/s1600/14130213923_0c4dda5fba_o.jpg 35 pounds for this puppy. ~Tom On Sunday, August 3, 2014 1:04:20 PM UTC-7, lungimsam wrote: Since there has been curiosity about peoples' complete bikes' and/or frames' weights, I figured it would be fun to reveal how much our Rivbikes weigh.
