[RBW] Re: Hunq's Slipping Seatpost
Actually, not meaning to muddy the waters here, but both of the Nitto binder-bolt mounted cable hangers that Riv sells interfered with seatpost clamping on my Bombadil. I fixed it by switching to Surly's cable hanger. Could also just use a smaller-diameter bolt. Is it worth a try to go around the block a few times with no rear brake (and no cable hanger) to see if that makes a difference? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Hub Area Racks: any first-hand experience?
I'm considering adding front bags to my Sam using the Hub Area Rack. Anybody have any first-hand experience with these units? I recall hearing that the first version without the hoop support suffered from flex, and I'm hopeful that the support solves this issue. Possibly pertinent info: - I like using my Acorn rando bag with my Mark's rack, so don't want to switch to a full-on rack like the Nitto. Keven assures me the HAR plays well with the strut-mounted Mark's rack, and that three struts can share the same mid-fork mounting point. - I don't want to use Riv's Hub Area Bags due to lack of proper mounting hardware. - I want to use a pair of Lone Peak P-099s, like these: http://www.thetouringstore.com/LONE%20PEAK/LP%20PANNIERS/P099/P099%20PANNIERS%20PAGE.htm. The key question is whether the spread of the hooks on the Lone Peak bags will fit the short-ish bar of the HAR, but the Lone Peaks can be easily modded to bring the hooks closer together if necessary. My ultimate goal here is to use the smallish P-099s (~24.5L) with an Acorn rando bag and my Acorn seat bag for my typical shortish outings of 1-4 nights.

[RBW] Re: Hunq's Slipping Seatpost
Kevin I have several thoughts on this. First and foremost, I will agree with the several responders who said you deserve to be happy and frustration-free on your new bike. Now, here's a checklist. 1. Tolerances. As others have said, you can measure the seatpost and the hole in the frame to see if they both are exactly 27.2mm. I will assume you don't have the tool to do that. That's OK, the absolute measurement is not as important as the relative measurement, and you have what you need to do that. When the bolt is loose, does the seatpost FALL down into the frame? Is it noticeably rattling inside the hole? If yes, then the seatpost is undersized or the frame is oversized. If the seatpost slides in easily, but does not FALL in, and there is little to no discernible rattle, then you are fine. 2. Interference from the brake hanger. There is a narrow slot between the ears. That slot gets pinched when you tighten the bolt. The brake hanger lives in that slot. If it prevents the ears from being pinched together, then you aren't clamping your seatpost. You are clamping your brake hanger. The test for this is first try to twist your seatpost with the bolt tight. If it is slipping down the way you describe, it should be shockingly easy to move. Assuming that is the case, take the bolt all the way out to free the hanger. Put the bolt back in and tighten it, just normal tightness. Can you still twist the saddle? If yes, move on. If no, that was your problem. Make Riv give you a new hanger that is made from thinner material. These two tests will take you about 10 minutes. Let us know what happens from that. You should not have to resort to knurling or loctite until you know what problem you are solving.

Although still too early to tell, it has my very favorite bike stamped all over it. With one possible exception: I can't get the seatpost to stop slipping down. Despite tightening the bolt to so hard that the allen hole is starting to strip, it still inches down as I ride, and we had to stop six times on the ride in this morning to raise the seat back up. Very frustrating. I had thought that maybe the brake cable hanger was interfering with the seat tube somehow, but I don't see how that can be avoided, given the shape of the hanger and the fact that it has to remain attached to the seatpost bolt.

Please please pretty please, check if you can tighten it with the cable hanger removed. I'm going to have nightmares if you don't check that. Regarding knurling. This is the tool that any decent shop should have: http://1mg.me/?w=300h=300filename=JS0115.jpgf=BTI If they have that tool, the job takes 30 seconds.

FS: Curt Goodrich built and Joe Bell painted Rivendell All-Rounder. 59cm c-t seat tube, 57.5cm c-c top tube. Currently set up as a porteur with 700x42 Grand Bois Hetres and fenders -- definitely the fattest tire you can fit with a fender.) Bike was built to take either 26 knobbies or 650b, and was the first 650b bike built for Rivendell -- this was Curt's personal bike. More rackmounts than you can shake a stick at. I tried to fit 650b x 2.0 Pacenti Quasimoto knobbies but it's only like 1mm of clearance at best in the rear sans fenders. The paint is really beat up/chipped, but no dents and the frame is straight with no rust. Fantastic riding bike, and it's been a real friend to me -- I'm sad to see it go. Only reason for sale is I'm taking delivery of a custom bike that serves the exact same purpose. Saddle height as shown is ~76cm. The bike is really, really great riding, and I'm (inevitably) going to regret selling it cause it is so fun, but... yeah. I'd vastly prefer to sell locally. Shipping would be at actual cost -- I'll likely need to split it into two boxes for shipping due to the rack and fenders, but can certainly do so. I'm happy to meet people within ~100mi of NY to do in-person delivery as well. I'm in Westchester County, NY. The complete bike as built (Nitto albatross bars Pearl stem, shellac'd bars with Paul thumbies and Mafac city brake levers, DA post, Rolls saddle, TA Zephyr triple, Phil bottom bracket, polished Paul touring brakes, chromed Soma porteur rack, Ultegra derailleurs, pedals, etc.) is for sale in two configurations. If you want a non-dynamo wheelset (Shimano LX hubs to Velocity rims) I'll sell it for $1750. If you want it with the fancy dynamo setup (Chris King rear/Schmidt SON front to Velocity Synergy rims and a Schmidt Edelux headlamp) I'll sell with both sets of wheels /and/ the light for $2300.

Re: [RBW] Hunq's Slipping Seatpost
I also had a couple issues with my Hunq from the end of 2013. The seat post slipped a ton, but it turns out the tube was actually a different size. 27.0 I think instead of the standard 26.8/27.2 (which I suppose means I was fitted with a 26.8 post). Also, one of the rear rack mounts wasn't tapped, so I had to tap it first to get the bolt in. That's something a little outside reasonable expectations I think, same for knurling.

The Origin8 Space Bar OR is built for that type of riding and comes in silver as well, although the bends aren't as graceful. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Bike was built to take either 26 knobbies or 650b, and was the first 650b bike built for Rivendell -- this was Curt's personal bike. More rackmounts than you can shake a stick at. I tried to fit 650b x 2.0 Pacenti Quasimoto knobbies but it's only like 1mm of clearance at best in the rear sans fenders. The paint is really beat up/chipped, but no dents and the frame is straight with no rust. Fantastic riding bike, and it's been a real friend to me -- I'm sad to see it go. Only reason for sale is I'm taking delivery of a custom bike that serves the exact same purpose. Saddle height as shown is ~76cm. The bike is really, really great riding, and I'm (inevitably) going to regret selling it cause it is so fun, but... yeah. I'd vastly prefer to sell locally. Shipping would be at actual cost -- I'll likely need to split it into two boxes for shipping due to the rack and fenders, but can certainly do so. I'm happy to meet people within ~100mi of NY to do in-person delivery as well. I'm in Westchester County, NY. The complete bike as built (Nitto albatross bars Pearl stem, shellac'd bars with Paul thumbies and Mafac city brake levers, DA post, Rolls saddle, TA Zephyr triple, Phil bottom bracket, polished Paul touring brakes, chromed Soma porteur rack, Ultegra derailleurs, pedals, etc.) is for sale in two configurations. If you want a non-dynamo wheelset (Shimano LX hubs to Velocity rims) I'll sell it for $1750.

Neil, I have V1 of HAR+HAB on my Hunqapillar (no hoop version). I have had no problems with flex on the racks, but I don't over stuff them. (Lunches for me and my kids, clothes, maybe a U-lock.) Hoop will add stability, but it's not been a problem for me. HAR does play well with Nitto Mini attached to the mid-fork braze ons. (Shared mounting point like Mark's Rack.) Pic w/o bags: https://www.flickr.com/photos/stakx/14635282251/ Pic w/bags: https://www.flickr.com/photos/stakx/16115956976/ The HAB is great, for me.

Shoji On Monday, April 27, 2015 at 4:21:43 PM UTC-4, Neil wrote: I'm considering adding front bags to my Sam using the Hub Area Rack. Anybody have any first-hand experience with these units? I recall hearing that the first version without the hoop support suffered from flex, and I'm hopeful that the support solves this issue. Possibly pertinent info: - I like using my Acorn rando bag with my Mark's rack, so don't want to switch to a full-on rack like the Nitto. Keven assures me the HAR plays well with the strut-mounted Mark's rack, and that three struts can share the same mid-fork mounting point. - I don't want to use Riv's Hub Area Bags due to lack of proper mounting hardware. - I want to use a pair of Lone Peak P-099s, like these: http://www.thetouringstore.com/LONE%20PEAK/LP%20PANNIERS/P099/P099%20PANNIERS%20PAGE.htm. The key question is whether the spread of the hooks on the Lone Peak bags will fit the short-ish bar of the HAR, but the Lone Peaks can be easily modded to bring the hooks closer together if necessary. My ultimate goal here is to use the smallish P-099s (~24.5L) with an Acorn rando bag and my Acorn seat bag for my typical shortish outings of 1-4 nights.

Hi Erl, I believe the Dirt Drop stem and the Technomic stem you have are made in different processes. The Dirt Drop is cold forged, while the Technomic Standard is not. This makes the Dirt Drop stiffer. Additionally, having less quill showing will have less flex. Either way, it's your bike and you can set it up however you'd like!

[RBW] What do Ricendell riders use for cycling shoes (not clipless).
A stiff sole should help you on the longer rides. I wear a pair of Teva hiking shoes. I don't see my style on their website anymore but it's similar to this: http://www.teva.com/men-shoes/surge-mid-event%C2%A0/1005764.html?dwvar_1005764_color=BLKO#icid=mnav_viewallstart=11cgid=men-view-all Keen makes similar shoes and I had them before and liked them. I also use the Keen sandals in warmer weather. They have a nice stiff sole too. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

MKS sneakers or grip kings. Cheaper to get sneaker friendly pedals than get new shoes. I used to suffer with the rat traps, even though they look so nice, then just switched pedals and all my shoes work great. But to answer your actual question, Keen Newport sandals have a nice stiff sole that worked for me. They do slip around when wet and get hellishly stinky in the summer. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Hunq's Slipping Seatpost
Isn't it nice to go into a roadie or mtb thrasher shop and discover that the crew love your old bikes? I'm glad that the problem was so easily solved (and that it seems not to be a frame quality problem). There is a high end bike shop a couple of miles from my mother's house which I used to frequent, since I spent so much time with her. They sell high end carbon fiber road and off road bikes -- Cervelos and such. But when I brought my Sam Hill, various Riv customs, '58 Rene Herse, Ken Rogers, and even my '84 Citroen Acadiane by, they all loved them. No sneers at all, at all.

Re: [RBW] What do Ricendell riders use for cycling shoes (not clipless).
A few years ago when I went back to clips 'n' straps for a couple of years, I found that MKS GR-9s were the cat's pyjamas for riding in street shoes; my street shoe of choice in summer is the boat shoe, and in colder weather, the chukka boot (safari boot).

Being a member of team fenders made this more of an engineering effort than it had to be if I could have just allowed myself to yank the existing longboard fenders off. I knew for sure I'd need to split the front fender into a front and rear segment, as there would not be room for the fender to pass under the fork crown. Having had Cody at woodysfenders.com make me a customer rear chopped fender for my recent XOXO build, I thought it would be a good idea to have him make and chop a front fender for me. I thought I might get away without having to have a split rear fender, but I ordered some extra hardware from Cody in case I had to split the fender myself. I spent a bit of time this morning getting everything sorted, which included having to cut the rear fender into two segments. I'm happy to now have a befendered rock n' roaded Hillborne.

Re: [RBW] Re: Hunq's Slipping Seatpost
Problem resolved (for now). The seatpost refusing to cooperate on my commute home, I stopped at Bike Pro, a very high-end bike shop in Georgetown at the foot of Key Bridge, to see if they had any friction paste that would at least hold the post in place until I got home. Mind you, this is one of those establishments where you go to drop $10,000 on an S-Works, Project One, etc., so I wasn't expecting much of a reception with a Riv under tow. I walked my bike in the front door and there, leaning against the far wall was... ...the only other Hunqapillar living in the D.C. area . Talk in the shop stopped when I came in (the only thing missing was the sound of a scratching record) and one of the salespeople walked quickly to the back of the shop to fetch the tech, Keith, owner of the other Hunq, who also couldn't believe that a near-twin of his bike had just come into the shop. (To those not of the east coast, where Rivs are rarely seen, this was a coincidence of near astronomical proportions.) Long story short, he pulled the seatpost and confirmed that the tolerances were a bit loose, but that the chief culprit was the brake hanger, which was blocking the seat tube from tightening all the way. He dremeled about 1/16th of an inch from the tube slot, which allowed it to tighten sufficiently, applied a liberal helping of friction paste, and reset the post. It seems to have done the trick; at least, the seat stayed in place for the remainder of my 15 miles home. To find a tech who's also a Hunq owner clearly showed the hand of God (a welcome sign in these uncertain times) :) Kevin On Monday, April 27, 2015 at 8:46:33 PM UTC-4, Eric Daume wrote: My Gunnars are three for three on slipping seat posts (and also 3/3 on chipping paint).

I posted a similar request regarding shoes with thin gripsters and got lots of great advice ( https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/rbw-owners-bunch/surlyprof$20shoes/rbw-owners-bunch/aVHSUQf7RRM/udfBHiIE_g8J). I have slightly wider feet so some of the recommendations wouldn't work. Ended up buying Scarpa Mystic Lites (http://www.scarpa.com/mystic-lite). They have a little more of a hiking sole than I would like but the soles are stiffer than the sneakers I was using. Next time I may try their approach shoe such as their Vitamin or Crux. Seek out sales. I found the Mystic Lites for $59. Christopher Chen recommended Red Wing Chukkas. I actually stumbled across a pair of irregulars in black (postman shoes) for 40 bucks so I bought them. Probably too dorky to wear with shorts (unless you are in uniform) but I have to admit, when I commuted to work in them, they were pretty awesome. I may have to eat the full price of the tan or brown ones in the future. Their website is offering a $20 off coupon if that helps.

Just off the phone with Bryan at Riv. He thought it might be a problem with the Waterford frame; apparently, the folks at Waterford get a bit sloppy with the tolerances.

Is the seatpost a Nitto? If not, put calipers on it. I once had an American Classic post that said 27.2 mm but it was actually 27.1 mm. That was the only reason it slipped in the frame.

I had thought that maybe the brake cable hanger was interfering with the seat tube somehow, but I don't see how that can be avoided, given the shape of the hanger and the fact that it has to remain attached to the seatpost bolt. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Best to all, Kevin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Hunq's Slipping Seatpost
i sort of doubt the hanger is the problem. seems like it should be clamping firmly before squeezing into the hanger. at any rate, the stock one they send is not great. the surly one is a bit longer which allows less kinking of the cable, and the loop that goes around the binder bolt is much narrower. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Hunq's Slipping Seatpost
I know the folks at Riv are nice people and all, but if your brand new $2000 frame is out of spec, then the right thing to do is send it back and get a new one with the correct tolerance. I could understand using such workarounds on an old frame of unknown history, but on a new bike that's totally unacceptable. I could almost understand if it were a Surly, or some other budget frame, but it would still bother me.
