Nate, Love the leopard fleece blanket. Riv'ers know how to travel in style! Don't sell that Atlantis, you'll regret it.

How did you loose the cage?? The bottle is kept so tight in the cage I've got to really yank it to get it out, so I don't think strips are needed for that reason.

[RBW] Re: Tall bags decaleurs
I have a 63cm Hilsen with a Nitto Mark's Rack, large Berthoud bag and Berthoud H-121 decaleur on the Technomic stem. I really like the setup. I was worried that the attach/detach from the decaleur would be a pain but after doing it a couple of times it was no problem at all. Steve's paper clip pin is a good idea, though. I have a space of around 31cm from the rack to the top of the handlebar so the bag is just below the bar, which is what I wanted. I previously had the Sackville BarSack on and with the handlebar mount the top of the bag is just above the bars. I ride a lot with my forearms resting on the bars and I smashed the bag down like that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Tall bags decaleurs
Like Andrew, I've had a good experience with *one* VO headset decaluer. I'll qualify the one to mean I've purchased subsequent VO decaleurs and the prong fit was way off to the point that they needed some adjusting and I didn't bother installing them. Maybe I just got lucky on my first. I used that with a tall Acorn bag (there is a possibility I might be selling) and never had any issues. That said, if you go with a bag that has velcro attachments on the bottom, or provisions for a strap on the bottom, then it's kind of a non issue as the bag can't possibly fall off.

Re: [RBW] Re: An even fatter (F)atlantis!
Thanks, that's useful because I am thinking (just thinking) of getting custom lowriders for the green Curt Riv, which now serves as my grocery bike and which doesn't handle heavy and exclusively rear loads with the aplomb of the recently sold Ram. I hope to have various brazing done on the Curt, which already has a custom rear rack; so unobtrusive front low riders that can carry up to 10 lb a side might to supplement the rear panniers might help maintain the volume but improve the ride. We'll see. I expect that the Sam Hill I owned, which wandered horribly with just rear loads on steep hills while seated and twiddling, might have done much better with some of that weight put up front -- in fact, I had low rider front bosses retrofitted to the SH's fork but never really tested the bike with a front load. Oh well, live and learn.

The second one down shows the wedge piece for the Pearl/Tech Deluxe stems, which have that wedge shaped nut. On the decalers, the wedge shape isn't threaded, it's just a form fitting insert, then the spacer, then a regular nut on top of everything. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Quickbeam questions--scored a last call!
I have had a couple setups where the 4 tooth spread with the Dingle cog was matched by a 4 tooth spread in the rings, so the axle position stays almost the same in high gear and low gear. Mostly that was for my OCD (and fender line). The Quickbeam as shipped had an 8 tooth spread in the rings (32/40), and a single cog (18t). The long angled dropouts (track ends) took up the chain slack.

I'm not sure how well that worked in actual practice, though. You'll be fine with a single up front if you don't mind sliding the wheel.

Michael, Compass sells three types of Decaleur: 1. The for Pearl version works with stems designed with a horizontal bolt and triangular wedge nut on them. Like the Pearl, the new N.P., and Technomic Deluxe. They have that wedge nut on them instead of a standard hexagonal nut. 2. The for aluminum stems version is for standard Technomics and the like with a horizontal bolt with a standard hexagonal nut on them. 3. The Grand Bois Decaleur is a different design, made for the 2-clamp bolt GB stems that Compass sells. Compass sells the drop kit designed for them too. I think they also sell period accurate clamp bolts for them, too. I think they have conical heads. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Berthoud also makes their decaleur mount for threadless and vertical bolts On Wednesday, April 22, 2015 at 6:10:30 AM UTC-5, Michael Hechmer wrote: Thanks for all the replies. They are all helpful.

[RBW] Re: Tall bags decaleurs
Horses for courses. I like the VO headset-mounted decaleur because it works for me and it's *cheap*. I've *never *had a bag come off, but then I use the rack's tombstone as well. But the adjustment *is *very limited; if it works on your bike, it will work well. But if it's not a good fit (part of that fit depends on your bag, and where on the bag you mount the decaleur) it's likely to not work at all.

[RBW] Re: What do Rivendell Riders use for rear derailers?
Microshift R10, which is the same good-looking RD as the Sun XCD http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v728/bulldog1935/Raleigh/Viner/aP3150002.jpg On Tuesday, April 21, 2015 at 10:34:37 PM UTC-5, Michael Leven wrote: I'll start.

[RBW] Re: Tall bags decaleurs
have the same one on my daughter's upright and we use it to change between a Q/R wicker basket and an Acorn mini-rando. The difference with that design is the entire torsion of the bag is carried through the tombstone, fork bolt and lower stays, while a headset or stem mounted decaleur eliminates the torsion. Not so significant on the mini-rando bag, but the bags Mike is discussing are 11 inches tall. On Wednesday, April 22, 2015 at 6:51:23 AM UTC-5, Andrew Marchant-Shapiro wrote: Horses for courses.
