Re: [RBW] Are P clamps supposed to do this?
I just mounted Nitto M18s on two bikes that lack fork eyelets and used the rubber/stainless steel clamps that come with the rack. I had some concerns but when I used the smaller clamps and looked at the geometry I realized the force placed on the clamps by the weight of the rack push the clamp into and not down the fork blade. Nothing conclusive but my take so far. On Nov 8, 2014, at 3:46 PM, lungimsam john11.2...@gmail.com wrote: Front rack feels rock solid when pulling on the rack.

[RBW] Re: Are P clamps supposed to do this?
I have seen two types of P clamps over the years, but both are secure if you use the correct size. The first type, which I haven't seen in a while, are merely coated with a thin layer of plastic; the second type are lined with a thick rubber layer. You calm get the latter in lots of sizes at big box hardware stores. Like I said, if you use the right size, they should be secure and show no sign of moving. The only thing I have ever used under them was electrical tape (with the older kind) to protect the frame. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] WTB Nitto Campee front rack
Thanks for the links and info.

If so, then the 26 version https://www.benscycle.com/p-2125-nitto-campee-front-rack-26.aspx would work fine on the front eyelets, and the 700c version https://www.benscycle.com/p-2096-nitto-campee-front-rack-700c.aspx would work fine on the rear. I don't know what the difference it the platform height may be. I have a 26 version of the Campee Classic, mounted with tubus stay clamps and fork clamps http://www.thetouringstore.com/TUBUS/Fit%20Solutions/FIT%20SOLUTIONS%20PAGE.htm on my girlfriend's San Marcos. It's a very, very, very nice rack. The panniers carry the weight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hc5YuMsDTRE nice and low and makes the whole front end quite stable, totally unlike how a high-mounted front load makes the front end flop. Without the panniers, it is a very attractive rack with a vintage french Randonneur style. If you just want that style without the panniers, the VO Constructeur http://store.velo-orange.com/index.php/accessories/racks-decaleurs/vo-constructeur-front-rack.html is not a bad choice. In fact, I had one on her San Marcos before I equipped it with the Campee Classic. It was used as a support for a front basket http://houseoftalents.com/shop/bicycle-basket/asungtaba-bike-basket-399/#!prettyPhoto. She prefers how the bike handles with the weight down low on the panniers. The VO has some cons: 1) it mounts with a fork daruma, though you may be able to bend the tang up to the brake bolt. 2) it works best when mounted to the front eyelet, otherwise the platform is forward of level. 3) it's not as beautiful up close as the Nitto; the welds are visible instead of Nitto's perfect fillets. But it's only $100. Another option is the Soma Champs Elyssees http://store.somafab.com/sochelfrra.html rack for $120. It can mount to either the axle or the front eyelet, and it mounts with a tang to the brake bolt instead of a daruma. I have no experience with it but it looks decent. Or, Bruce Gordon or many other US frame builders could custom up exactly what you'd like, for about the price of the Nitto Campee Classic.

[RBW] Nitto big front rack q / hello
Hey, I'm new here, but this group has already been a great resource. I've been building up my new hunqapillar, and have come to front rack attachment. I've seen posts where the big front rack has been attached without p-clamps. For some reason, those methods didn't really work for me. I ended up attaching the rack without the clamps but somewhat differently than I've seen before. Lower fork eyelets attached to rack via struts attached to the inside of the fork. So here are my questions: Is it a problem to attach the struts to the inside of the fork (about 1cm of clearance on each side between bolt and spoke)? Is it an issue that the points of connection to the fork are the dropout eyelets and the lower mid-fork mounts? Would it be more stable with the second attachment to the higher mounts? Am I stressing anything too much? Etc etc etc. Pics should be attached. Thanks in advance -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Wheel Stabilizer or no?
I second what Matt's saying here. If you carried the weight down low in panniers, it would feel a lot more stable. When I first set up my girlfriend's San Marcos, she tried a lovely House of Talents basket http://houseoftalents.com/shop/bicycle-basket/asungtaba-bike-basket-368/ on the handlebars, supported by a VO Constructeur http://store.velo-orange.com/index.php/vo-constructeur-front-rack.html rack. She hated how much the wheel flopped with any load in the basket--especially her awesome-but-heavy Abus chain. For RAGBRAI, I switched those out for a Campee Classic https://www.benscycle.com/p-2125-nitto-campee-front-rack-26.aspx, with medium panniers on the lowrider frames. She loves how the low load makes the front end more stable, even with the load unbalanced to one side or the other (seriously, that chain is like 3.5 lbs). Her San Marcos now obeys when she tells it to sit on its single kickstand. She refuses to give the rack and bags back! But that's OK, because I'm paid back by her satisfied smiles when she rides it. Of course, getting set up with a front lowrider rack and bags wouldn't be cheap. The HAR http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/rmf2.htm would bolt right on to your Betty, as would the Big Front http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/r5.htm or the similar/cheaper/less pretty Surly Nice Rack http://surlybikes.com/parts/cargo/surly_rack. There are other lowrider racks, like the Tubus one that Peter White has http://www.peterwhitecycles.com/tubus_racks.asp, but I don't know if their mount points would match up easily to your mid-fork eyelets. But clamps work fine. From there you could attach any kind of bags (waxed canvas is great, waterproof roll-tops are great) or even buckets http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GlsdABloJOQ/TBkVKXFdfKI/ACM/_oWNBycvU6g/s1600/Buckets+2.JPG or baskets http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/236x/da/99/92/da9992ed8733caf20f22024a129bb1e7.jpg. The Ortlieb hooks http://www.ortliebusa.com/ProdList.asp?scat=21 are secure yet easy-on/easy-off, and could be attached to anything. A double kickstand would be cheaper! But moving the load lower on the front would improve handling while riding and while parked. Something to think about.

Re: [RBW] Nitto big front rack q / hello
If everything is clamped down tight, then that should hold. Nitto (and Riv) hardware is plenty strong. And 1 cm of clearance should be plenty. However, that seems sub-optimal, for the reasons you already supposed. I think it would be better to use the upper eyelets on the front. If you can't get a straight Nitto strut to work there, then maybe try a piece of flat stock to bridge the gap. Like a chunk of a chainring https://www.flickr.com/photos/rperks1/8718438496/?

I wasn't really asking for judgement calls from those who do not have experience with this diet... However, everyone is entitled to an opinion. I'll restate my original questions (though I've received an adequate number of responses on off list): Anyone follow a similar diet? Your general experiences? Your reasons for adopting this diet, and your experience in the transition period? Difficulties? What would you bring on a lengthy bike ride (bike-related!) or overnight? If you have a response to these questions - please respond directly offlist either as a PM or to daban...@gmail.com. I agree with Grant that this thread should be wrapped up, and any debates about diet practices should be directed directly to Grant at his given email for his book, or directly to those you'd like to have a conversation with, all off-list.

[RBW] Re: Are P clamps supposed to do this?
The VO rack came with the rubber coated ones. Too tight. So I got a 14 size from LBS that looks like the Riv type with the thick rubber strips on the inside. When installed, the rack is solid. But if I looked down along the fork blade (clamp is about 4 or so inches below fork crown) I could see daylight along the sides of the clamp, but the front and back are tight, and the clamp was tight to bring the tabs together, so I figure it is the right size. But I could wiggle the clamps by hand when it was just the clamps. I put one turn of bartape around the fork, and that filled the daylight sliver gaps, and although the rack is solid, I can still wiggle the clamp by hand if I pull on it. If I grab the rack and pull up and down I detect no movement.. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Nitto big front rack q / hello
Hunquapiller is nice! I bought a New Nitto Front Rack and just got done installing it. P-clamps are a pain but they are the best solution overall. Only one bolt on each side. Less flex than having long arms. Lighter, stiffer, cleaner look etc. When I had my Atlantis repainted I had some barrel braze ons attached to the fork in the standard mid fork position. It bugs me that I have a braze on 1.25 inches from the fork slot that I can't use. I am extremely anal and fastidious on my bike set up and if I was you, I'd go with the P-clamps Clayton Bailey On Saturday, November 8, 2014 5:15:14 PM UTC-8, drew beckmeyer wrote: Hey, I'm new here, but this group has already been a great resource.

David, *Your general experiences? * Not a lot of change with a diet like this for us from an otherwise balanced with healthy grain diet in body mass or otherwise. Our cholesterol jumped a little, but that's subject to fluctuation anyway. On good vs bad cholesterol, see http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/17/health/research/hdl-good-cholesterol-found-not-to-cut-heart-risk.html?_r=0 Don't know if that's truth or truthy, just another data point. *Your reasons for adopting this diet, and your experience in the transition period? * Read Mark Sisson's blog a few years ago, and it sounded like it made sense. Now it doesn't so much. I watched this recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMOjVYgYaG8 *Difficulties? * We were pretty strict on the diet for about two years. We were probably constipated the whole time. Ate only grain fed beef and fish (which, BTW, is typically just cattle fed bales of alfalfa instead of grain). My wife and I are both fairly trim (I'm 6'1, about 170 lbs), she's a size four. We pretty much went back to just veggies, some whole grains, and fish (occasionally) when we're out to dinner. Likewise any refined sugar. My wife felt better immediately after leaving the heavy meat Paleo, and shed about four or five pounds. Also struggled with the sustainability of a high meat Paleo diet. Don't think too many Paleolithic creatures were eating bacon. Maybe more rotting carcases on the veranda. Maybe that's what gave us the tongue for umami. Bacon? See http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/05/business/PEDv-plagues-the-pork-industry-and-environmentalists.html I wonder what goes on in the intestines and glandular functions with a high animal tissue diet. Maybe Grant's book will discuss that. I know he's looking into a lot of this stuff, and I'll be curious to read about it. *What would you bring on a lengthy bike ride (bike-related!) or overnight? * Long bike ride? Lots of sugar is supposedly consumed with impunity. See Gretchen Reynolds' book on diet for bike rides: http://www.amazon.com/The-First-20-Minutes-Surprising/dp/B00CY5AUYA Overnight?

Re: [RBW] Re: Nitto big front rack q / hello
I agonized for a while and then realized, sometimes the best engineered solution is a hose clamp (Garner Martin, Easy racer founder), or in our case, a P-clamp. :) The top mounts don't carry any vertical load, just horizontal. A P-clamp is short, so less flex, less vertical twisting of the rack, less weight, simple and you can't strip it out, like a braze on (which I did on my fork lowers). Less of a point stress riser on the fork too.

RE: [RBW] Re: Racks: fork barrel eyelet vs. canti braze-on mounting question.
Paul Neo-Retros (front) and Touring Cantis (rear). I just had a lot of trouble, because when I tightened down the rack bolts onto the proprietary Paul rack mount brake bolts, it always seemed to alter the brake adjustment (the Pauls lock down the brake adjustment with the brake bolts). I have that very brake set on a QB and an Atlantis, and have had zero problems setting up the brakes. But it’s not a big problem – finally got it done, and the install seems very solid.

I think practically, it makes no difference at all. The amount of weight that a small front rack has to hold is not enough to test the limits of the strength of the two different triangulation geometries of the two mounting approaches. Personally I think if the bike already has canti studs, the additional barrels just make the upper fork area look cluttered and are somewhat unnecessary. On non-canti equipped bikes, the barrels make perfect sense. However, on non-canti equipped bikes, the brake bolt hole is not available for a direct bolt-up because there is a caliper brake installed. On those bikes, the upper rack mount has to be a bracket or welded rack tang that bolts to the existing brake caliper bolt.

[RBW] Fwd: Update: Re: Geometry, climbing, what's going on? (Problem solved and a question)
A few months ago I asked for suggestions about how I could climb better on my new bike. I was feeling that I was worse at climbing on the new bike than on my other bikes despite having lower gears, and was unable to climb hills that I should have been able to climb. I figured out the problem: my weight was too far back. I dropped the handlebars, and (as I thought) moved the saddle forward. That helped a little. Then I replaced the offset seatpost with a straight seatpost. While doing that I noticed that instead of moving the saddle all the way forward, I had moved the seatpost all the way forward on the saddle- so I had moved the saddle *back*. Oops. Moving it forward solved the problem completely. There are plenty of super steep dirt trails that I can't climb, but I am able to climb normally steep hills with no problem. Hurray! And that brings me to a question about frame design for short people. One of my riding partners is 5 feet tall. She's slender, and she climbs like a rocket, much faster than I can. But, oddly, even though we have the same low gears, she has trouble climbing the super steep roads that I love to tackle. She's afraid of them, says she can't balance. I know it's hard to design small frames without design compromises; is one of the compromises putting the rider too far back on the bike?
