[RBW] Re: FS/WTT New-in-the box Waterford Atlantis 56cm
Wildcat, in my experience Rivendell won't steer you wrong regarding sizing. The safest sizing is what you describe. That doesn't mean the 56 won't work for you. A shorter reach stem and you could easily be in business and amazingly comfortable. I have a PBH of 90 cm and ride a 66 Quickbeam. 62 cm is the size Rivendell would steer me toward, but I absolutely love my 66. I take it on single track all the time, which conventional wisdom says not to do unless your frame is smaller. Never had an issue. You milage may vary, but it may well be worth trying what you have to see how it works. Take a closer look at the geometry charts. Compare actual TT length to something you ride and enjoy. between adjusting the saddle and stem, can you make it what you want?

My experience matches Jan's. Since retiring 4 hearts ago and ending my 30 miles of round trip commute into Burlington, Vt, the number of flats I have to deal with has plummeted. Two or three a year. I ride PariMoto's, Grand Bois Cerf, and Marathon Racers (26 x1.6) over country roads, - dirt, chip and seal, pavement seven months of the year without worry.

This is over decades of occasional tours, and tens of thousands of miles. On backroads, there tends to be very little debris, and wider tires get fewer flats anyhow. So I choose the most supple, comfortable and fun tires I can find. Puncture protection is only a minor consideration. Punctures seem to occur mostly during organized events that use the shoulders of busy highways. I avoid those, not just because I get flats, but also because I don't enjoy riding there. Some riders seem to get more punctures on urban streets, but as long as you stay out of the gutter, the road surface also tends to be relatively clean. Overall, once you go to really wide tires, you will find that you get almost zero punctures. I have ridden more than 12,000 miles on Grand Bois Hetres, most of them in the city and suburbs, yet I've had only two punctures. Both occurred when the tires were very worn.

Re: [RBW] Re: fs: Carradice - Nelson Longflap - vintage one w/ cool lettering!
The first of several Longflaps I bought, this directly from Rivendell in the late '90s, was of this type, and made IIRC from heavier canvas and with a leather scuff patch and better leather for the straps. They also had an orange vinyl triangle instead of the reflective applique'. I prefer the ribbon ties and the side flaps to the drawstring neck. All models, well, at least Campers and Juniors, were also so designed at the time, IIRC. If I'd kept my original Carradices, I'd have saved approx. $3, 278.59 in postage costs and losses from buying and selling so many over the years. Keep those good old bags!

Re: [RBW] Re: Polling what's the best 650b touring tire?
I believe it's all about tire pressure. If air is pushing the tire away from the rim with a force of 40 psi, that means that the road surface is pushing back with an equal force of 40 psi. So an object trying to puncture a wide tire is not pushing against the tread surface with as much force as it would be with a narrower tire at higher pressure. If someone wearing wide sole shoes stepped on your toe, you'd feel it but it wouldn't hurt much. If that same person stepped on your toe with the heel of a high heel shoe, I'm willing to bet it'd hurt a whole lot more. Same idea.

[RBW] Re: Need help replicating Riv custom on a budget - for a shortish female friend
If she is mostly after the comfort, sitting position and over all practicality of your bike, she could do well with a conversion of an old MTB. With the right choice of stem and seatpost, you will probably be able to get the contact points and sitting position to within a few millimeters of what it is on your bike. The drawback of an MTB frame is a higher bottom bracket than on a road bike, which is more noticeable for shorter persons. How you fare with a high bottom bracket is very individual though, but I have to admit having a personal preference for low BB's, even though I'm 6'2. But that Surly Straggler looks very very fine I must say. Room for 650B 42 mm tires with fenders, and there are some of the worlds best and most comfortable tires in that dimension. Should work well with a porteur type of handlebar also.

[RBW] Re: Polling what's the best 650b touring tire?
On my previous bike with 32 mm Continental Contact tires with a puncture protection layer I got maybe 1-2 punctures every year. Upon weekly inspection I used to pry out many small pieces of glass from the tires, that the puncture protection had stopped. Using 25 mm racing tires was impossible for commuting and everyday use on my roads - 10 punctures on the 14 days I tried having them... all 10 punctures because of glass. On my current bike with 42 mm Hetres I have had two punctures in three years, and I'm on my second back tire with the front tire soon having to be replaced too. And one puncture was because of a glass shard that tore a hole big enough I could put my finger through. I glued it from the inside with rubber cement and a patch made from a tubular tire, and used it a full year more, until it was completely worn out. I weigh 210 lbs so I have to run them at fairly high pressure (~4 bar/60 psi in the back) compared to what the lightweights can run them at, which makes it even more impressive. I absolutely love these Hetre tires - fast, silent, comfortable, grippy and in practice - for me, so far - puncture proof. I just wish they were available in a true 50 mm 559 mm/26 version...

[RBW] Anyone using the VO Rando rack with integrated decaler on their Rivbike?
1. Does it hold the bag in place well? 2. Does it rattle? 3. Does the bag tilt/sway while riding? 4. Was it a bear to install if you have sidepulls and need to attach to brake bolt?

[RBW] Anyone using the VO Rando rack with integrated decaler on their Rivbike?
I have the canti version on my a Kogswell. It holds the VO bag fairly steady without much wobble. Unless the bag is packed, I strap the bottom to the rack to keep it from moving around. The best part is that the height of the bag does not matter. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: New to Me Rivendell Road (Standard)
Thanks to all for the comments. I am looking forward to building-up and riding this bike. Tony, the build is still evolving. The challenge and fun for me will be building-up a road bike designed for skinny tires; a slightly different endeavor than what I did with my Atlantis.At the moment, it will have noodle drop bars with a Brooks b17 saddle. I am still debating between a compact double vs a triple crankset, with a 9speed cassette and bar end shifters. The previous owner said the max tire size is 700 x 28 and with fenders 700 x 25. My goal will be 700 x 26 Grand Bois tires under a set of fenders. Beyond this I have not settled on part specifics. I am continuing to find and view photos of other Riv Road Standards. I am always open to suggestions and don't do what I did comments. :) Thanks, Erl -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: New to Me Rivendell Road (Standard)
That sounds cool Erl! Funny to think of a Riv with clearances that small, as the narrow tires go in sure those GB tires are excellent. Not as classic an accessory but have you thought of the retro shift/gevenalle/ird shifters on aero levers? That's a mod I'm thinking about for the upcoming Bombadil... :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: WTB: Rivendell Atlantis (or equivalent) in size 47 cm (frame or full bike)
Lesli: A while back (6 months? a year?) Rivendell posted somewhere that they had found a couple of small Atlantis frames stuck away somewhere. IIRC they were 44 cm (but call them to see) there was something about a small run that they never added to the geometry charts. Anyway, it could be worth checking out. 47s don't come around too often. dougP On Monday, October 27, 2014 6:13:24 PM UTC-7, Lesli Larson wrote: Looking for a frame or full bike to build up as a go fast town commuter w/26 or 650b wheels.

[RBW] Re: New to Me Rivendell Road (Standard)
Great looking bike, congratulations. If it were my bike I would go with the biggest tires that would fit without fenders. I am more into comfy tires than I am about getting wet or dirty. Then I read Tim Gavin's Road being converted to 650 and liked that idea even better.

[RBW] Re: Anyone using the VO Rando rack with integrated decaler on their Rivbike?
I did, until the bike was wrecked and got a new fork with rack mount braze ons on the fork which didn't match the location of the VO fork mounts. I never did bother with the decaleur, because the Acorn bag stayed put quite nicely without it. Mine was the original one, with the undrilled stainless steel tang. My bike shop couldn't drill it, so there was a visit to the machine shop at work... Installing. Yes, well. Sidepulls, rack, AND the fender daruma bolt. Always fun. But hey, I could sell you the rack and decaleur, since I am not using them now. On Monday, October 27, 2014 3:44:20 PM UTC-7, lungimsam wrote: 1. Does it hold the bag in place well? 2.
