[RBW] Latest DIY Project: Making a Baggins Boxy Rando bag more....um....BOXY!
I really like my Baggins Boxy rando bag, and still am very impressed at how solid the Nitto F-15 front rack is. Only problem is that the Baggins bag was pretty darn floppy when I got it here on the list. Right when I got it I made a corroplast floor and back wall for it, which gave it a lot better shape. Tonight I made a custom crossbar for my Nitto F-15 which totally squared up the front edge. Now I'm really digging this setup.

Re: [RBW] suggestions for a bike computer?

Re: [RBW] suggestions for a bike computer?
Wasn't speaking of generator lights. Specifically battery lights. Mainly lights that can and/or do flash. It happened with a Niterider Mako that has a constant flashing red side light and also with a Cateye light that was set to flashing. Have also discovered a number of areas in the Twin Cities where there is outside interference that causes problems with the sensor. Other folks use wireless, so it is obviously not an issue for all. As to battery strength, hard to say for certain. Neither of the wireless units I tried lasted more than a couple of months. It is possible the battery was weak by the second month. Unsure of actual reliability of wireless computer batteries.

Granted, I only use two wireless systems now (Cateye and the optional Garmin Speed/Cadence sensor) but across all my bikes with generator hubs (Schmidt, SP Shimano), I've never had an interference issue. What I have observed is that my cyclocomputers occasionally go out but those instances are correlated with areas I ride through rather than proximity my dynamo hubs.

[RBW] Re: New Kryptonite Bike Lock Idea
If I have to choose (usually I don't) I'll protect the front first for two reasons. 1. I usually run a dynohub, so that wheel is expensive to replace 2. I anticipate that the casual thief (my nemesis) will eschew getting him- or herself greasy. Rear wheels are generally harder and messier to remove. I have only ever lost one wheel, and that was a front; I have seen a number of bikes missing a wheel, and it has always been the front. However, since i use my bike for transportation, I prefer to protect *both* wheels, since it's a very long walk home.

[RBW] Re: suggestions for a bike computer?
Thanks, everyone, for the varied responses! Patrick, what you are saying resonates deeply. I'm a lifelong map guy, and have not yet embraced the use of electronic devices in the field, apart from occasional consultation with Google Maps on the iphone. Partly because I am comfortable relying on maps and on my sense of place and direction. And I must admit to a reluctance to introducing another screen into my life, even one as small as a bike computer. Ahh, first world problems, right? However, just last week, during a 5-day tour in Oregon, I had occasion to rely on a friend's odometer relating to some unsigned roads on a cue sheet, and it was mighty handy! And I hope to join my bro on some brevets next year, where there is a time element in play which counteracts the fun factor of getting lost. Doug P has graciously offered to send me is older Cateye unit, so I think I'll start there.

The 44/28 I put together on a 130/74 triple shifts much better than I anticipated, even with unpinned/ramped chainrings.. So I was thinking maybe could go 18 teeth? Thinking 44/26. I run 11-34 in the back and right now I'm using the 28 purely as a bailout on grades in the teens. On anything less than 10% grade I just keep it in the 44 up front. The main reason for doing this is cost savings, I have a few 26T 74bcd chainrings lying around that I could put to good use. Of course, when it comes time to bailout, lower is also better as well. We have an 18% grade right at the end of many of our brevets here. Just don't want to be slinging the chain off the top or the bottom. -- Keep the metal side up and the rubber side down! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: suggestions for a bike computer?
Are you sure you need a cue sheet? Your smart phone may give you a map function with your position. In most cases it should be enough to check that when you are in doubt about where to go next, or you know you are so lost and out of time or acceptable weather that a return route must be found fast.I bought a round black Bell at Wal-Mart for a little more than $ 20. It gives me accumulated distance, time of day, ride distance and moving time plus a speedometer. A big minus are the small numbers for everything except the speedometer. I need to wear prescription glasses to see them. But I can't use my phone without them either, and would not be able to use expensive cyclocomputers without glasses. I also use MapMyRide on the phone, but only check it after the ride or during breaks if I remember to pause it. It is good mental exercise to study a map before you go out and try to remember where to go based on that.

[RBW] Re: New Kryptonite Bike Lock Idea
I was living in Hyde Park (Chicago, IL) in the '80s. My front wheel walked off over the course of 30 minutes--the rest of the bike locked with a flat Kyrptonite to a fence in front of my girlfriend's apartment. I saw bikes missing wheels in front of Regenstein library, and cut bike locks (mostly chains) lying on the ground near the racks at other libraries. It was a desperate time and place!

Re: [RBW] Re: New Kryptonite Bike Lock Idea
I have taught the same sort of lesson twice, the most recent just a few days ago. A worker at our corner deli had been locking her bike to a 2 pylon in front of our house (I placed it there to prevent the parallel parking challenged from backing into our newly planted sidewalk tree). The pipe sticks above the sidewalk only about 4 feet. The other day, I was present as she rode up, said hello, etc., then U-locked her bike to the pipe pylon. I suggested to her that wasn't the best locking practice. She looked puzzled, so I made the point by simply lifting her bike over the end of the pipe. I wish now I that had done it differently, as she was visibly quite embarrassed. I felt bad, as she is a very pleasant person. But, she at least locks up her bike more strategically now to another, much higher pole a bit further down the block. Also, it is capped with a Street Cleaning schedule sign that is much larger than the U-lock.

At one point I was running a TA Cyclotouriste 46/26T double on a climbing build. Two derailleurs handled this 20T jump nicely: Huret Jubilee and Suntour continuous band. The Huret handled it the best, and the couple of times my bike dropped a chain (due to my own fault for not adjusting the limit screws) I could rely on the Huret to rehang it without stopping.

Ideally the device with the paperwhite display would also have a camera so you could submit your receipts or proof of passage electronically to your RBA.

[RBW] Re: New Kryptonite Bike Lock Idea
I had a coworker at the bike shop that renamed Campy 1010 dropouts. He called them 7-11 dropouts. The reason he called them 7-11 dropouts was that he'd open the rear QR when he leaned the bike over for a quick trip into 7-11. Because of the horizontal dropouts, if you grabbed the bike and jumped on it and tried to ride away, the rear wheel would slam forward in the dropout and stop you, just long enough to grab the guy. I do something similar by moving both DT shifters all the way forward, so the bike will horribly shift as soon as a scofflaw tries to pedal off.

The only adjustment I've had to make is to tighten the high limit screw so that it doesn't fall into the space between the 42 tooth ring and the chainguard. Once I did that, it's been perfect. Good.

Re: [RBW] suggestions for a bike computer?
I haven't used a bike computer in years, but on Sunday I was leaving to do the Ohio to Erie trail, so Saturday afternoon found me at Performance looking at bike computers (and a better rain jacket) I ended getting some Axiom model, $30 on sale, and it's proven to be junk. It'll work for a while, them the head unit freezes up and it won't accept any input. Then, it will start working again. Also, there's about a micrometer of range between the sensor and sender where it works. Outside that micrometer, it either rubs or doesn't send. I do like my new jacket, though.

[RBW] Re: suggestions for a bike computer?
I see the speed jumps while I am cycling if I look at the speed page but they don't really show up on GarminConnect after I download the ride, not that I have noticed anyway. The average speed doesn't seem to be affected either. Personally, I handle the speed bouncing around because I like the no sensor thing on my bike and I'm not really concerned with speed. I'm more concerned with seeing my route afterwards, my miles ridden, and elevation differences. I actually turned speed off on the page I usually display so it doesn't show while I am riding. I have distance, elevation and percent grade showing currently. I do have 1 mile laps enabled in the Garmin 500, so when in garminconnect it shows a break down of every mile and how quickly I did that mile. Not that I look at it all that much, I just turned it on one day and never turned it off. To be truthful, I should have bought the Garmin 800 or 810 when I was buying the computer because the mapping feature would be something I use. I just don't care about speed though. On Monday, September 15, 2014 10:07:25 PM UTC-5, ted wrote: Certainly agree with your reasoning and conclusions. There is a lot of computation involved in just getting a gps position fix. All the derived stuff the gamins provide (speed, distance, vertical rate, grade, feet climbed, etc.) involves more computing. Plenty of room for errors. Could be bugs, poor numerical methods, or just limits of accuracy in the system. In any case if adding the speed-cadence thing eliminates the jumps, that clearly implies the GPS only system is deficient. Roughly what size jumps you are you seeing? Do they show up in the time history plots? Can you say what sort of duration and frequency the jumps have? I'm thinking I should try to look for them with my 510. Perhaps I just haven't noticed them even though they are there, perhaps the GLONASS make a difference. I'm kinda curious. On Monday, September 15, 2014 6:53:26 PM UTC-7, Benz, Sunnyvale, CA wrote: I'm not sure if it is specific to my 500 or includes other units. Certainly, the jumps are small but they are noticeable and consistent, even when under clear skies and constant speed on a straight road. They do disappear abruptly when the Garmin sensor is installed which gave some a clue. Nevertheless, the speed that GPS-based units display must be calculated instead of measured like with the Cateyes. If GPS signal isn't optimal, it is conceivable (doesn't mean it's the real reason) that the calculation reveals the lag in positioning.

While I don't believe this impact average speed much, I can't stand the lack of precision from such a measuring device (without its optional speed/cadence sensor that further optionally can be calibrated). The Cateye Strada wireless units are (relatively cheap), have big main numbers (speed), only need a battery change once every year or so, and is better than 1% accurate even if you follow the lookup table on the instruction sheet. You don't have to break out your measuring tape and inscribe markings on the garage floor if you don't want to, although doing so will give you better than ppt (parts per thousand) accuracy. The Knog meters are more or less a joke because of their mounting system. They use the same silicone straps that are quite useful on lights but are dreadful on both the display/head and sensor units. The straps slip easily. I have two sets that I got cheap but I don't use anymore.
