[RBW] Considerations for losing the front deraileure
This is one of many threads that makes me very grateful that I am satisfied to work with off the shelf systems. I don't need creative, mix and match, Shimergo, etc, etc, etc. Generally, my only question is, do I have enough gear range for the challenge at hand. If you are bad-ass enough to ride mixed terrain and not worry about that question, then my hat is off to you. -pb -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: What's your winter project?
I'm working on a 1985 Bridgestone T700 rebuild while I wait for my Atlantis to come back from painting at Mercian. Just finished cutting off the canti posts, which could not support 700c wheels, and even caused problems with any brakes (other than the originals) with 27 wheels. Not sure why they were brazed so high, but it doesn't matter to me. I've got a set of NOS 610 centerpulls that will go over fenders and 32mm tires with room. The original headset had the shortest stack height I've ever seen, and the steerer is so short that I can't fit a decaleur in the new stack, so I'll probably throw a Velo Orange Rando rack with integrated decaleur on the front for a handlebar bag. Shame to waste the lowrider brazeons, but oh well. It will go for painting at Mercian as well. Then just need to build them both up!

[RBW] Coldest Ride on a Rivendell Ever?
My coldest day happened on my regular commute. It normally takes 45 minutes. That day it took 1 1/2 hours. When I finally got to work I looked up the weather and found out it was 3 below (Fahrenheit) with a 25 mph headwind. It took a while for my water bottle to thaw, and my brain engage. The rest was ok, just cooked from the upwind ride. My normal cold weather equipment is a layered approach, and thin wool socks, thick wool socks, and a goretex oversock with Shimano sandles.

I have a Handsome Devil that is blue that I am not saying is a poor mans QB. It has been in drop bar mode as a 1x7 and is currently set up as a SS so its very versatile.

Re: [RBW] Re: SKS LongBoard Question

[RBW] Re: Primal Blueprint Kindle $3.99
Thanks for the update on this! I am going to purchase this for my Kindle even though I've had the hardback version for years. I did the same when Just Ride was on sale for $1.99. Some books I just have to have in hard copy form but it's nice to also have the digital version!

Re: [RBW] Re: What's your winter project?
OK then, I’m sticking with the 26….I like the idea of going with the Fat Franks or Big Apple…. my LBS agrees, and wants to see the condition of the bike for further suggestions.

[RBW] Re: Eat Bacon Don't Bonk?
The Ketogenic diet hasn't worked well for me... I find it's simply too difficult (and put me in a mild rage). I'm on a long-term diet modification, gradually 'fixing' my diet, increasing my intake of greens, veges and fruits (no-brainer, right?)... Well I've always known this, yet have struggled to stick to it. I have to admit, I've been a carbo-holic my entire life and I have finally come to recognize this. Using a Vitamix really helps me ... I can quickly blend up a handful of greens with an avocado, flaxseed, almonds, frozen berries and water...sometimes I'll even throw in half a cup of steelcut oats... There are so many variations of greens and veges to explore, I can't see ever getting bored with this. The flavor combinations can be extraordinary. This makes a hearty and filling drink (that I'm really liking) and I often complement this with 2 poached eggs... Easy and quite filling, and I'm no longer missing the carbs. In fact the thought of having a traditional diner breakfast with 2 eggs, bacon, toast, potatoes and OJ (something I always have enjoyed)... has entirely lost its appeal (beyond the eggs bacon, that is). Oh and BTW I've lost over 30 lbs of my 45 lb goal (and am so far on a steady course). Stay healthy, (and for God's sake Patrick, can you at least find a Thermarest pad to throw on the floor?

Re: [RBW] Bike crash and question on hematoma healing
Very Timely question!! I lost control on a wooden bridge two weeks ago from this past Monday. I was going about 12 mph. It was misting and I had just gone thru a puddle got onto the bridge and just slightly turned and wham!!! the rear end just went out from underneath me. I was clipped in but the bike slid off to my left and I hit my knee but slammed into the bridge with my thigh. I didn't go t the doctor but did drive myself home. Huge bruise developed with an oval shaped raised hematoma. I was always able to walk but it was painful. The good news is that most of the bruising has healed hematoma is going down and I plan on trying a ride wed or thursday of this week.

Yeah, it took me a couple of years to be able to go full time ketogenic. I possibly could have shifted sooner, but it took my body a while to strengthen it's ketogenic capacity to the point I could go full time. From all I've read, unless you have a medical reason to go full time ketogenic, low carb and occasional intermittent fasting is a brilliant way to go (that's what I did for two years to get to full time ketogenic -- have no idea what I was doing as there was so little info on details of how to do it).

[RBW] Re: SKS LongBoard Question
I had the new P55 Longboards on my old XO-2 and currently have the new P50 Longboards on my 650b Hillborne. The new P50 Longboards are definitely longer than the P55 Longboards and even the fender itself appear to be a little longer than the old P50's without the flaps (I have a set of those as well). None are near as long as the original P45 Longboards however (got those too). The new P50's fit my Hillborne with 650b x 41 Fatty Rumpkins just about perfectly, but I am using Sheldon's Fender Nuts to get the front fender a little higher and flatter in the fork crown for clearance.

Re: [RBW] Re: Eat Bacon Don't Bonk?
I recall about a year ago I was getting really tired of all this talk of primal/paleo/low carb/let's eat better talk around here. In fact i was more or less avoiding the topic altogether. Can anyone imagine why? :-) Then last April I had my left hip replaced (documented here to some degree) and decided that as long as I had to up my non-cycling exercise, walking, stretching, and core stuff suggested through PT, I might as well take off some of the lard I was carrying around. My surgery was at the end of April and in May I was recovering and frankly, eating garbage as a treat for my recovery (not a good way to recover I might add - now). Still it was on my mind. Once I was fully mobile I decided I'd try eating at least a bit healthier and stopped bringing sweets home, switched to salads at work, and cut way back on carbs (not in line with any particular plan, just cutting back). I noticed some improvement in both health and weight and started paying a bit more attention to the threads on the topic here. I made a few more modifications but still was only losing weight only gradually. When Grant's book came out I figured, why not? At least I would supporting him and such. Well it made sense to me and as I'd already cut way back on carbs it wasn't particularly difficult physically to go further (though mentally I still wanted a bit of pie from time to time). That's when the weight more or less started falling away and my health improved noticeably, not just to me but to other folks as well. I've lost about 50 lbs. since surgery, much of it in just the last three months, though not an unhealthy pace. My energy is great and I don't bonk, at least not on anything shorter than 60-65 miles (haven't gone longer than that recently). I just got blood work back and compared it with numbers from fall with my doctor yesterday. He was very impressed and happy that at least one of my patients takes my advice. I didn't tell him that while, yes, he had recommended very low carbs, my change had little to do with his advice and more to do with a bunch of folks who ride bicycles a lot. In any case I can report: 1. My blood sugar A1C number which had been 'sweet' though not diabetic is now just high normal. I expect that will continue to drop as does my doctor given what I've told him. Since the A1C is a long term number, my drop doesn't represent just a change for that particular hour or time of day, but rather a real change over time. 2. My overall cholesterol was up, but still very safe. However my HDL went up about 50% and my LDL only a little so my overall risk factor has dropped. My doctor was not concerned about overall numbers and was very pleased about the changes. 3. I've lost as much weight in the last three months as I did in the previous six. In addition, during those first six I was depriving myself of stuff that now I don't even think about. My friends have all noticed the change (losing the equivalent of a six year old around your waist is, um, noticeable). In fact a couple of my friends bought me new shirts in smaller sizes for Christmas saying I really needed to change my wardrobe. 'm still holding off on shopping because I'm not at my goal yet and don't want to spend a lot 'in-between.' To top it off my riding had really improved. As I said I really don't bonk now (at least not under 65 miles). And after training for years with a 50 lb. weight around my waist and a bad hip, hills are much, much easier, even fun. My overall speed (never really a concern) is up over distance as well. My good friend who has always pulled away from me going up hills is now in my mirror (we don't race, but have always agreed that we need to ride up hills at whatever pace works best for us). He's also acquired Grant's book but admits he hasn't really followed directions as well as he might though now that he's seen my results I suspect he'll pay more attention. Well that's my story.
