Which distance are you doing? I've committed to volunteer at Cyclovia on 
Sunday, then I'm riding the El Grupo Gran Fondo  the week before El Tour. I 
think I remember your orange Hillborne from a Cyclovia a few years back. 
You let me take if for a spin. Beautiful bicycle.

[RBW] Re: Please help me with my Honjo fork crown problem please.

2014-10-31 Thread lungimsam
UPDATE:

Thanks for your ideas everyone.

 I decided to use a Honjo L bracket with Sheldon fender nut, and the radius 
and fenderlines are fine that way. The fender has 1mm clearance between it 
and the brake when brake is centered and QR closed. So that works fine.

*Now two more minor issues:*
1.The nose twists a little off one direction, and the tail goes t'other.
2. When I tighten the stays to the dropouts, it over straightens the tail 
and it winds up twisting the other way. Weird.

Any ideas what would straighten this?

[RBW] Wheel Stabilizer or no?

Since putting a Mark's Rack and a basket on the front of my Betty Foy, my 
front handlebars flop most prodigiously (and annoyingly) when there's 
anything in the basket. I'm writing to get you folks' opinions on wheel 
stabilizers, or any other solutions you can think of to fight the flop.

[RBW] Re: Wheel Stabilizer or no?

2014-10-31 Thread blakcloud
My first foray into a stabilizer was the Velo Orange one. It worked 
reasonably well but you still had to be somewhat careful with heavier 
loads. What I didn't like was the clamp around the tube, it makes the bike 
look ugly. When I had my bikes repainted I had them braze on small clip for 
the spring eliminating the clamp and used the rest of the parts from the 
VO. 

Velo Orange 
http://store.velo-orange.com/index.php/accessories/chainguards-stay-protectors-kickstands/vo-wheel-stabilizer-xl.html

My solution https://www.flickr.com/photos/87106495@N07/12151022165/

I do wish that my Rivendell had the small braze on, because like you I got 
a lot of flop with Mark's Rack and Wald basket. For this bike I just use a 
velcro pant strap, while I load the bike. 

On another note, I asked a custom frame builder who was building porteur 
bikes to add this braze on and he refused. He would do everything else I 
asked for but he believed that they didn't work and he wouldn't do it, so I 
didn't have the frame built.

[RBW] Wheel Stabilizer or no?

Probably unlikely, but a loose headset would cause the front end to flop when 
parked moreso than a properly adjusted headset. 
Exploring every option.

If it's mostly flop when parked on a kickstand that's the trouble, perhaps a 
twin leg stand would help.

they help but it does not solve all problems, heavy loads will still swing 
around.  the type of headset also makes a difference, my bike with needle 
bearings seem to swing a little less.  a double-kickstand (cut to the right 
height) can also help when the bike is on the stand.  but in my case the 
bars swing when not on the stand!

I think that twist is an archive of the fact that they come off of the 
forming machines in a big curly Q.  with the fender off the bike twist it a 
bt the other way and gently cold set the twist out.  At least that is what 
I do with the Honjos
