[RBW] Re: jockey wheels for yesteryear shimano
I'm not quite conservative enough to replace hard-to-find parts on a 20,000 mile derailer. You should be able to find a decent RapidRise XTR mech on Ebay which will keep you pedaling for a few years.

[RBW] Re: jockey wheels for yesteryear shimano
In case anyone is counting the teeth on their jockey wheels, be aware I made a bad assumption: While my older Deore shimano does have 10 teeth, the slightly newer XT low normal sold by Riv does have the modern count of 11. (Both needed new wheels --- sorry Joe, I just can't let go of a good derailleur) Sorry for that bit of confusion. I'll apply the 10-tooth advice to the older unit. VO has a nice set of 10-tooth replacements on the website that are the correct diameter, but not currently in stock.

[RBW] WTB: Ruffy Tuffy Tires
Hello good people, Can someone cut me a deal on some Ruffy Tuffy tires, lightly used or new? I'm very broke right now, but not so much that I'm going to turn my back on tire quality. I can pay, just can't afford to order new. My Schwalbe Marathon rear tire is falling apart after about 1000 miles of gentle road use, to my great dismay - the sidewall is separating, and there's a scary bulge that gets a little bigger every time I ride. Maybe I have something you want - I have some nice parts lying around: new Tektro Big Mouth brakes, a new Sugino triple crank, and a bunch of other stuff.

The funny thing is that a friend of mine was involved in some sword crafting and sparring with Neal and others over the past 7 or 8 years now. They started out by building a lot of their swords and armor out of carbon fibre, but have since gone to steel due to failures. I don't have much more info than that, but carbon as an impact material is not as resilient as our friend steel.

[RBW] Re: suggestions for a bike computer?
+1 for Garmin 200. It's amazing how well it works in all conditions. I used it all last year including fat bike riding in temps ranging between zero and 20 degrees. No problems. I primarily bought it to eliminate having to recalibrate computer every time I switched tires. Plus, I ride 6 bikes when including our tandem and use only one Garmin. Used to use 2 Sigma computers, which I think are the best, when I only had 4 bikes. Problem was, I often brought the wrong computer when driving to my location, d-oh! Also, between the 2 computers I could never remember when I last changed batteries so at least once a year the computer would die on a ride. The Garmin has built-in, USB or AC plug rechargeable battery and the coolest computer map recall feature that I could ever want. I love looking at new routes that I've ridden using Garmin Connect. It's a data lover's dream but that's not a plus for me. Just the reliability.

[RBW] barend shifters on a bike with top tube derailer cables
I've taken the advice to heart of this group and others that the Soma GR I built up recently is really not big enough for me. So I intend on selling it and getting something else that is sized more appropriately for me (6'7). I would like to move the parts form the Soma over to whatever other frame I get. I was looking at a frame that had both derailer cables mounted on the top tube. It would be a semi-custom type deal, some parameters I could change (geometry, brakes) but some not. I am interested in acquiring said frame but I wanted to run barend shifters. Handlebars would be 48cm Noodles. Workable, or not? The manufacturer's intent is for the end user to use brifters, and the ($$$) expensive brifters with concealed shifter cable routing and to run the housing all the way to the derailer, for the minimum amount of exposed cable and maximum reliability. The use case for this frame is either 27.5x2.1 knobbies or 650B x42 slicks with fenders, so they are routing the cables that way to keep mud out of them. However, I don't really want brifters. One option I was thinking of was running the cable housing the whole length of the handbars until near the stem and then into the top tube routing. Any downsides to this? Are the bends too sharp? Wisdom is highly sought. I have thought maybe to seek a different framebuilder but the attractive thing(s) about this builder is that the delivery timeline is shorter than most, they have an excellent reputation, they're working with me on the geometry/sizing and the price is right. Well, that and they have been super nice to work with. -- 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.

Re: [RBW] barend shifters on a bike with top tube derailer cables
You mean, like this? Close. The only difference is that Jim means that the frame will have the two shift cables run along the top tube, like some cyclocross bikes run them. The answer to Jim is YES you absolutely can run your hypothetical new frameset like that. Whether you run barcons or brifters will make no difference. Either way, with continuous housing end to end, I'd recommend buying the slickest cable+housing system you can possibly find. Generic stuff might annoy you with drag. I think I know which frame you are looking at, and if they are letting you change disc brakes to cantilevers, maybe you could talk them into giving you normal housing stops, too? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

I figured the part he was concerned with was the routing along the handlebar, from the shifter to the end of the bar wrap up near the stem. After that, it's a big easy loop no matter whether it goes to a cable stop (or guide) on the downtube, as with my Longstaff, or up to the top tube.

Well in this case the housing runs all the way to the rear derailer. Bill mentioned the additional friction of a longer housing run.

Re: [RBW] barend shifters on a bike with top tube derailer cables
I have ben experimenting with running shift cables on my top tube. Seems to me the right / rear shifter should go on the right side of the top tube so it runs onto the right seat stay and down to the rd cleanly. Why do you chose to take the right shifter cable to the left side of the top tube? While on the topic of routing shift cable up top, any opinions on top pull fd's?

[RBW] I just can't say NO! (to Quickbeams)
Whilst visiting Portland this summer, Ron H. made me an offer I couldn't refuse on his 62cm Quickbeam. Those of you playing along from home may recall I already have an orange 60cm 'Beam. At first that seemed like too much of a good thing, but after thinking on it, how could I not have a second one?!?! The orange one is set up as a mixed surface drop bar bike, biased toward the dirt a bit with Clement MSO tires. This one is set up for city use, with flat Jitensa bars, a clear powder coat, and fancy front and rear bolt-on hubs. It's pretty much as-is, except I swapped out for a B17 and added a kickstand and frame lock. After this weekend's camping I'll put a front basket on it and it will officially be my town bike, mostly replacing my Schwinn Racer that has style points, but isn't really all that comfortable. For those of you that are a bit more visual, here is where the pics start: https://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclotourist/15087275177/in/photostream/ Wouldn't have been possible without my friend/neighbor Mark bringing it back to SoCal after riding Cycle Oregon this last week.

[RBW] today's blug
THIS is the bike I wanted back in '02 when I ordered my Atlantis. I have no idea what the buyer paid for this, but the SS couplers, etc., add to both the cost lead time. BUT when that lucky someone pulls this one out of the box, they are gonna be really pleased with the result. BTW, I have never regretted following Rivendell's recommendations on my Atlantis (a stock build) it's been in the belly of plenty of airplanes. It's got well over 50,000 pedaling miles,with perhaps more air miles. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: I just can't say NO! (to Quickbeams)
The bike looks great and I love the frame lock. One question, while looking at your Flickr account on the Green Quickbeam, you mention Loved this bike. It's a 62cm, and just a touch to big due to the tall bottom bracket. Bought slightly used in '05, sold only slightly more used in 2010. Just out of curiosity what changed? Is it that you are using this bike differently than the first one or does having the Jitensha bar make the bike just feel better, where the bottom bracket height doesn't matter? Answer if you want, let it be if you don't want to answer. At any rate, I really like the new one and the finish is perfect for that bike. Congratulations on the new bike. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Packing SS-coupled Riv - Tips, Tools Gears to make it easier?
Tom I used it for packing an uncoupled bike. The next bike will be SS coupled. By undoing the front bolts on the MOTUS stem you can position the handlebars in the box (in your case the SS case) as needed. Just make sure that your cables have enough slack, or disconnects. This is very similar to what I do for my tandem when I pack it in its bikepro case.

Pierre in 2001 I purchased a 3T MOTUS quill stem with removable faceplate (held on by 2 bolts). Enclosed are a couple of photos, one of which is a little blurry. They show the stem.

[RBW] Stupid Question about leather straps
So, I went ahead and ordered the med Sackville saddle sack, and I just received it today. It came with straps that buckle to close the bag riveted to the bag, plus a set of straps to buckle and snap shut. I can't figure out how to use the snap strap without removing the riveted strap from the bag. Do you cut them off? If not what do you do with it? It's in the way, you can't use both at the same time? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: I just can't say NO! (to Quickbeams)
There are no bad questions! For my 89cm PBH, a 62cm frame is just a touch too tall, especially with larger tires. My orange one is a 60cm and it's really perfect. I'm using it differently (well, planning to as it's new to me) than my orange one. Orange is going to be multi-surface bang around bike. This one will be dedicated city bike. Standover clearance is less an issue for this set up. Cheers, David it isn't a contest.

Re: [RBW] I just can't say NO! (to Quickbeams)
Thanks for the recommendation, Mike. Those bars were mentioned recently here, and I was checking them out. Didn't notice they were wider at the time, just the rise on them. They are on my radar, but am going to stick with these J bars for a bit and see how they work out. Plus I don't want to ruin the gorgeous cork grips on them to swap out the brakes!!!

The orange one is set up as a mixed surface drop bar bike, biased toward the dirt a bit with Clement MSO tires.

It's pretty much as-is, except I swapped out for a B17 and added a kickstand and frame lock.

Re: [RBW] Re: I just can't say NO! (to Quickbeams)
Oh, forgot to mention the frame lock. I love frame/cafe locks. Great way to secure a bike that you're going to leave in a low-theft area. It's one of the Abus locks, and they are crazy-heavy in a Teutonic sort of a way. http://www.amazon.com/ABUS-Amparo-4850-Frame-Lock/dp/B001BADNRA/ I will potentially have an extra one for sale, NIB if anyone is interested.
