I don't understand why more cyclists don't use safety vests - either cheap ones like the Ikea or more pricey purpose made Nathans and the like. My Nathan has a loud neon green base that stands out in the day time and reflective stripes that really catch the light in the evening. The material is light and packable enough there is no problem stuffing it into my bag or even a pocket when I reach my destination.

[RBW] Re: PSA: Are you a cheapskate that's into safety?
Probably due to high production volumes. All drivers must have a reflective vest within reach inside the vehicle in the Nordic countries by law. Most hang it over the seat back. It has to be worn if the driver needs to step out along the road. Since these are countries with a tradition of detailed regulations, I assume the reflective qualities of the vests are regulated to a high standard.

With, I'd do a 46t tripleizer with a 30t 74 bcd, and make a chainguard for the outer spot. Easy 46/30 double, or a subcompact 40t/25t setup. Not exactly tripleizing, but you get the point!

[RBW] Bent Handlebars Question
I bought a set of 46cm Nitto Noodle bars at the Seattle Bike Swap this weekend for a steal, $15. I was so excited about them that I didn't end up setting them down on a flat surface to see if they were completely straight. Upon returning home I thought I would check on that. When the bars are placed them down on a tabletop, with the ends and the clamp area facing down. There is a slight amount of wobble to them, if I push one side down, there is less than a dime's worth of space between the tabletop and the swept back ramp. I'll post a picture of this when I get home, in case you can't visualize it. Anyways, my question is, how bent is too bent? Is this safe to use? I obviously want to use them since a new pair of 46cm heat treated noodle would run me upwards of $84 new. I didn't notice any bend to them until I set them down on the tabletop, you couldn't tell they were bent by just looking at them. I couldn't find any info on this online and was wondering if anyone had any experience/thoughts on this.

Two editorial quibbles: 1) eBay changed their search function a month or so back. There's no longer a search page that allows you to search for seller IDs and close matches. More than ever, you have to use *exactly* the right seller ID or your search comes up empty. Now more than ever, Capitalization Counts. So if you're going to post a seller's ID, it will be much easier on your readers if you copy and paste the seller's ID exactly: rgz4ams http://myworld.ebay.com/rgz4ams/ 2) Or you could make it easier altogether, and just post the address of the seller's listing page, which the Google Groups interface (and most email applications) will turn into a clickable link: http://www.ebay.com/sch/rgz4ams/m.html?item=291378019737hash=item43d77bbd99pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0rt=nc_trksid=p2047675.l2562 Let's make the Internet work for us, instead of the other way around...

Re: [RBW] Re: FS: near-mint Atlantis frameset and 26 Mavic/chris king wheelset
Thanks Mark. I'm set up with 44/28 and a 115 mm spindle length. After installation, I've decided that I could easily go with a 113 mm and achieve the chainline recommended by White Ind. I don't know if this will necessarily translate to your bike (nice build, by the way!). For one thing, I have an ENO (mountain) crank rather than the road VBC model. Also, my bike is a new 26- wheeled model with longer chainstays (than earlier 26 Atlantiseses). I'm thinking the longer stays allow for fat tire clearance without the dramatic curves of the older models, and provide a little extra chainring clearance as well. It rides wonderfully.

[RBW] FS: Terraferma 650B (offtopic)
Hi everyone, Forgive the strictly non-Riv nature of this FS post. I thought this bike might appeal to Riv owners as it's a bit Rivvy. And here's shot of it with a Hillborne (Riv content!) on a recent overnighter: https://www.flickr.com/photos/cwmcmillen/16287799288/ So, on to details: I have for sale a Terraferma 650B bike. I will sell complete or in reasonable increments, i.e. if someone has wheels already and only wants F/F/HS/BB that's fine. Complete: $2000. F/F/HS/BB: make me a reasonable offer. Frame was $1900 new in 2011. HS: VO needle bearing. BB: SKF Lots and lots of pics in my Flickr photostream. Here's a couple of recent ones in drop bar mode: https://www.flickr.com/photos/cwmcmillen/15636158855/, https://www.flickr.com/photos/cwmcmillen/15365419528/. Here's one in Albatross mode: https://www.flickr.com/photos/cwmcmillen/16299796971/ Nothing wrong with the bike. I'd like to sell it to fund an Elephant NFE. I've got an itch for a new bike. Here are details and info: Size and geometry: It's a 56 ctt seat tube and a 57.5 ctc top tube. The HTA is 72.5 and the STA is 73.5. Build: It's currently set up with Albatross bars. But for 95% of its life it's been set up with drops. So cockpit is negotiable. Berthoud bag, Nitto rack, saddle, King Cages, and pedals NOT included. As I said, I will happily sell complete or in reasonable parts. Things I'd like to keep, but will certainly sell as part of a package: Rene Herse crank and Simplex shifters. Bottom bracket: 116mm SKF Crank: Rene Herse/Compass 44/28 (cassette is 9spd 11/32) Headset: Velo Orange needle bearing Brakes: Paul Touring Canti Brake levers: Avid or Tektro (depending on bars) Wheels: Front: Velocity A23 laced to SONdeluxe dynohub. Rear: Pacenti laced to Ultegra hub (rear rim has a small crack; will include brand-new Pacenti rim) Tires: Grand Bois Hetre, black Fenders: Berthoud 50mm Shifters: Simplex Retrofriction Stem: I have a Nitto 10cm Dirt Drop as well as a 7 and an 8cm Technomic deluxe. Your choice I am the only owner and I have been riding it since February 2011 (I ordered it in May 2010). I do not know how many miles are on it; I don't keep track. But it's been through 2 Super Randonneur series and lots of riding in between. The frame is in excellent shape. It's optimized for 50mm Berthoud fenders and 42mm Hetres. They fit perfectly. It's lightweight, True Temper Platinum tubing. There are lots of braze-ons: for three water bottles cages, racks, fenders, etc. The paint: It's painted Molteni orange. But it's a somewhat fragile paint job (at least compared to that on my Long Haul Trucker), it seems, as there are various nicks and chips and flakiness here and there. I've taken photos that show what I mean. After these initial chips, etc it's not chipped anymore. Finally, I am in Charlottesville, VA. Would love to sell locally(ish) but will of course ship. Thanks for looking. Happy to answer questions. Christian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Bent Handlebars Question
For context, lots of people deliberately bend their new aluminum drop bars to their favorite shape. Flared drops were first custom bent drop bars. Furthermore, a dime worth could be the way they came new. You've seen the Nitto factory movie. It's still people doing the work. A dime worth of misalignment probably would still be shipped, and not noticed. Finally, some people on principle will never buy used aluminum handlebars, because you never know if they are about to go. I'm not one of those worriers. Follow your instinct. If they seem fine, they almost certainly are. If you are scared of them, recycle them and be bummed that you burned $15. I've recycled one featherlite handlebar that I used for 'cross for several years. It wasn't bent, but I started to worry. I've bought several Nitto Noodle handlebars used. They are stout, so I'm not worried. On Tuesday, February 10, 2015 at 9:34:45 AM UTC-8, Michael Ullmer wrote: I bought a set of 46cm Nitto Noodle bars at the Seattle Bike Swap this weekend for a steal, $15. I was so excited about them that I didn't end up setting them down on a flat surface to see if they were completely straight. Upon returning home I thought I would check on that. When the bars are placed them down on a tabletop, with the ends and the clamp area facing down. There is a slight amount of wobble to them, if I push one side down, there is less than a dime's worth of space between the tabletop and the swept back ramp. I'll post a picture of this when I get home, in case you can't visualize it. Anyways, my question is, how bent is too bent? Is this safe to use? I obviously want to use them since a new pair of 46cm heat treated noodle would run me upwards of $84 new. I didn't notice any bend to them until I set them down on the tabletop, you couldn't tell they were bent by just looking at them. I couldn't find any info on this online and was wondering if anyone had any experience/thoughts on this.

[RBW] Re: 700C Tire suggestion for mixed terrain 200K on Redwood?
I've been using Schwalbe Mondials (40s) with good success. My commute is half city streets, half hard pack gravel. They are similar to the SOMAs and the old Marathon XRs. Treads are pretty deep and the spacing opens up on the edges. Results in smoother feel on the road and good cornering in dirt. Only slipping I experienced was on some wet dirt trails. The only change I would make to the would be a boxier cross section so the side tread would engage sooner on trails. That's where some cross tires may excel. I believe these were designed more for mixed terrain touring. John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] How to Beat Old Man Winter: Tips for Sailors in Cold Climates … How to Avoid Colds, Thaw Out Frozen Fingers
I thought you all would get a kick out of this, based on recent winter-based clothing conversations. It's from the January 1944 *All Hands*, which is (was?) the official magazine of the US Navy. It's like it was written by Deacon Patrick! Here is the link to the article: http://156.112.98.23/library/online/uniform_cold.htm#how *How to Beat Old Man Winter: Tips for Sailors in Cold Climates … How to Avoid Colds, Thaw Out Frozen Fingers* Howling wind, driving rain and sleet, mountainous waves of icy salt water - pity the poor sailor on a night like this! Yet, you can beat old man winter at his own game. What it takes is knowledge about what kind of clothing to wear, how to act under varying weather conditions, what first-aid may be necessary. You know from personal experience that sometimes, even when you get all bundled up from red flannels to peajacket, you still can't keep the upper hand over winter cold. Maybe you've been on watch, heavily clothed, and step inside to warm up a bit. You don't take off your outfit, or even open it up - because you're cold and you want to warm up fast before going back. Well, you warm up fine, even begin to perspire. Then you step out again and find you get cold very quickly. You feel chilled to the bone, commence to shiver, and you're much more uncomfortable than before having gone indoors. This is what happened: You got cold while you were on the first part of your watch because your body was losing heat. Your body stores heat inside and also produces heat as the result of digestion of food and physical activity. However, the low temperature and wind had taken away much of this heat and had caused the blood vessels supplying the skin (particularly in the fingers and feet) to contract. Much less blood was flowing to the parts and thus they got less heat. When you came inside, the clothing began to absorb heat while the body gradually began to warm up. The body had filled itself with heat and was again ready to begin giving off extra heat. The blood vessels had opened up and circulation increased. Since you did not take off your heavy clothing this extra heat could not get away and soon the skin temperature rose so high that sweating began. Doctors who have studied these matters know that when this happens the body gives off heat about four times faster than usual. Your clothing got damp from perspiration and began to take away heat at a faster rate than normally. So when you went out-of-doors again the more exposed parts of the body lost a great deal of heat into the atmosphere, and your damp clothes took away a lot more heat. These losses were so rapid and so great that they immediately caused pain. As a matter of fact, in a short time you lost more heat than you lost during the whole time of your early watch. Another angle is that when you were first outside you had been exercising somewhat and your body was producing extra heat. When you came inside your activities stopped and your body also stopped producing extra heat and instead soon began to lose heat. When you went outside again, therefore, your body was not producing heat to help keep you warm, but rather was working the other way. Now if you can take the pain which comes along with this reaction until the body readjusts itself, you'll be fairly comfortable. However, your clothing is going to be rather damp and the whole discomfort is unnecessary if you follow a few reasonable rules based on the scientific facts of what the doctors called body heat balance. These rules are: 1. Immediately upon coming indoors, shed your outer heavy clothing and gloves. Avoid yielding to the temptation of warming up rapidly by retaining all of your clothing protection, especially if additional outdoor work is scheduled. 2. Avoid sweating. It will dampen clothing and start heat loss when you go out again. 3. Stay indoors only long enough to get reasonably comfortable. If you get too warm you will upset your body heat balance when you go outside again. 4. If your hands and feet are cold, a change to dry gear will afford relief. Putting on lots of clothing doesn't mean you're going to keep warm. There's a right way and wrong way to keep warm, based on scientific fact. There are three layers of clothing involved in protecting yourself from winter cold. These are the underwear layer, the insulation layer, and the wind-and-water-resistant layer. *Underwear* is one of the most important elements of cold-weather clothing. It serves as sort of a heat filter to slow down body heat loss and at the same time to take excess moisture away from the body. Underwear should be form fitting, moderately dense, lightweight, soft but with sufficient body to withstand compression. One-piece woolen underwear is preferred since it absorbs a large amount of perspiration, keeps the body relatively dry, eliminates

[RBW] Re: Brake Cable Hanger - Fork Crown Mount
Brian I have that Tektro crown stop (not on a bike at the moment). The recessed hole in the crown mount is 10mm in I.D. I have a Haulin' Colin front rack on my Hillborne. It's smaller than yours, made for a friend custom, and I picked it up from him. On my Haulin' Colin front rack, that main center post that bolts to the crown is made from 11mm O.D. tubing. So, those two products would not play together well on the same bike. It would be hard to wow out that 10mm hole to 11mm, and it would be hard to turn down that 11mm tubing to 10mm. I do have a Nitto Mini Front playing together with an earlier rev of the Tektro crown stop, but even that needed a little modification.

[RBW] Re: Rivendell Roadeo or Other
I've ridden quite a few road bikes and by far my favorite is my Rivendell Roadeo, so I would say go with that. The Riv builds up really nicely, is very comfortable riding, and when you give it the gas the bike just goes. I can't really express how glad I am I bought the Roadeo. I built mine up in a not so Riv fashion using a complete Shimano 6800 Ultegra group with some Rolf Vigor RS wheels. I went the quill stem route and use a nice looking Nitto lugged quill stem, mark's bar, Nitto seatpost, some lighter weight saddle, and I switch the tires between 25c Conti tires or 32 Compass Stampede Pass tires. My 53cm Roadeo sits at under 20 pounds right now. When I got my frame from Riv, I had them paint it Orange and it came out great, but I have to say the blue color they have as a stock frame color is really top notch looking, IMHO. I'd say go on a test ride and then make your decision...but just realize that if you feel like it, you can build up the roadeo lighter than their stock build, if that matters to you.

It was my first road bike and it is about a size too big and only recently got comfortable riding it once I put an 80mm stem on it. Anyway I have been looking for a new road bike and want to go with a steel frame, preferably lugged. I have been eyeing the Rivendell Roadeo, as well as the De Rosa Corum (not lugged) and custom builders, Jeff Lyon and Circle A Cycles. I am very close to sending in a deposit to Jeff Lyon because of his experience with building the type of frames I'm interested in. However, I have resisted because I am drawn to the Rivendell Roadeo since it is similar to what I would like Jeff Lyon to build me. Also I am out in CA two or three times a year and stay pretty close to where Rivendell is located. So, I can visit them and test ride a similar frame to what I would be buying. They have 2 55cm's built up and I'm a 52 or 53, so even though It's not my size I can hopefully still get an idea of how it rides. I also really like the De Rosa, but none of the shops I called keep them in stock and if I am going to buy it locally I'd like to be able to take it out for a spin to see how things feel. If I'm dropping over 2k for that frame I might as well send my $ off to Lyon and let him build me something since I couldn't test ride that either and is probably more what I want. That brings me back to the Rivendell and Lyon dilemma. I want a lugged frame that is as light as practical and can fit fenders if I want to use them. I like the Lyon option because for about the same as the Rivendell I am getting something made just for me. However he is relying on the measurements and info I provide to make the correct frame. With the Riv bike I can visit them and let them take my measurements to determine which size Roadeo is the best fit. So I am really confused and am asking here to see which way some of you would go.

I know Riv's geometry charts so 44cm but another post here on the topic indicated people saying the new ones were longer but I don't recall if a specific measurement was ever mentioned. A 56cm Atlantis is my grail, should I ever accumulate the funds to purchase a used frameset. On Tuesday, February 10, 2015 at 12:40:02 PM UTC-6, Z wrote: Thanks Mark. I'm set up with 44/28 and a 115 mm spindle length. After installation, I've decided that I could easily go with a 113 mm and achieve the chainline recommended by White Ind. I don't know if this will necessarily translate to your bike (nice build, by the way!). For one thing, I have an ENO (mountain) crank rather than the road VBC model. Also, my bike is a new 26- wheeled model with longer chainstays (than earlier 26 Atlantiseses). I'm thinking the longer stays allow for fat tire clearance without the dramatic curves of the older models, and provide a little extra chainring clearance as well. It rides wonderfully.

[RBW] Re: Fork-mount cable stop on seatstay bridge?
Tom, You might also consider taking a file to your binder bolt. I don't think filing down some of the threads in the middle of the bolt significantly weakens it, and there is no need for threads in the space between the ears of the seat tube lug. I think I did that on my SimpleOne to get the long Nitto hanger to fit nicer. If you don't like how it comes out, another bolt to replace the filed one would be cheep and put you back where you started.

Ted's comment sums up my concern... hmm, I think you've talked me out of it. Now I just have to decide whether to spend €40 on a Funky Monkey or put up with sub-optimal seatpost clamping. Jeff, sudo cablestop is a shameless theft of an XKCD joke, but I think you're actually on a winner here. Picture the bike repair pod of the future where you just put in your ride and type apt-get install cantilevers. You don't even need to have the parts!

[RBW] Re: Bent Handlebars Question
Also consider how the bars are made at Nitto in the first place (see the article in the Winter 2014 *Bicycle Quarterly* http://www.bikequarterly.com/current_issue.html). They are just bent to shape. So a little bending to straighten them is fine. Of course, if they are truly bent or kinked, you should retire them. If you bend aluminum back and forth too many times, it will break (usually turns whitish first).

[RBW] Re: Brake pads question.
Hey Fellas, Thanks for all the suggestions. Ordered the Supra 2 pads, thanks Jason for the recommendation and John good advice you've accumulated from sources, I'll be sure to use the Riv inner tube suggestion for setting the brakes up. Cheers, ~Hugh On Saturday, February 7, 2015 at 4:09:18 PM UTC-8, hsmitham wrote: Hey Rivsters, I'm currently using Paul Component Touring Canti Brakes with the Koolstop thinline salmon pads on my Atlantis. The rear were never properly toed in or aligned with the rim surface so they wore funny and now squeal. Here's my question, can you run the Eagle 2 pads with these Canti's. Paul components doesn't say anything other than they come with the thin line. It's my notion that the shorter the pad length the easier to toe in the pads to the rim surface thus eliminating the squeal.

[RBW] Re: Is 2015 the year for...Rivendell sportwool jerseys?!
I assume you mean from the MUSA line. Our Woolpower tops are blends and resist wear a little better than pure. But poly blends ain't happenin around in MUSA. Same with our socks. You can get poly blends anywhere but 100% wool is harder to come by, and good, so we'll keep doing that for our own stuff. Upcoming MUSA Projects: The striped undies are huge sellers, so more of those. In winter, a long version. They're so great and popular we hope to have them in stock more reliably. Grey-heather 210g short sleeve version of the pirate crew style is next for wool tops. It'll be a real nice garment. A simple grey merino tee. After that we'll move to a staff-picked blue/green/grey 3-stripe light wool crew we'll call the Freddy. It's the classic little boy's striped shirt (but in adult sizes), named for young Freddy who comes here after school. These are too light (and stretchy) to have pockets sewn in the back without ripping off. The return of knickers and seersucker (using the same pattern as chambray). A second shorts pattern for skinny legged folks. Mark has been working on getting some of the old Woolistic style jerseys like we used to have back, they're made in Italy again now.
