Re: [RBW] Re: Tire trouble puzzlement
I've also had this problem with Synergies with various tires. After my wheelbuilder built it up, he said the rim gave him some trouble, but it was still true. The double rim tape helped, but tires were still a pain to mount on and off Synergies. I've recently got a pair of Dyads built by Rich, and are riding great so far. Tires also mount easy. Went with the wire bead 42 pasela's at the suggestion of Riv, and they very nice tires for the price.

A careful examination of the new pari-moto front tire on my Trek revealed that the colored line that I was advised to keep constant around the rim was itself not a constant distance from the bead. At a point about 90 degrees from the label, near the inflation label, it dived to near zero. After a couple of tries at centering it and retesting (I live 3 miles from pavement so this was a bit arduous and time consuming) I identified a tiny ridge running parallel to the bead and also that this ridge was level with the rim on the two wheels that seem to be working OK. I took a pen and inked a line at the top of that ridge, then I mounted the tire by first exposing the ink line and then pushing it slightly in.The second try of this quieted the tire about 80 - 90 %, which was enough to allow me to perceive the thumping in the rear tire. I then ran a test on two bikes with all but one of the permutations of wheels of wheels bikes. (I couldn't put the Saluki rear wheel with a 135mm Deore onto the Treks 130 mm drop outs but I could convert the 130 mm White to 135 and put them on the Saluki). At the end of this I realized three things. Both the front and rear tires on the Deore/Synergy rims were basically Ok; both front and rear on the White/Synergy rims were misaligned; the rear tire on the White/Synergy wheel also showed a half inch slice in the side wall, right at the rim. I think the next up is replacing the rim tape on the White/Synergy wheels with HB tape, if I fin I have enough and it will fit. I am also considering replacing the pari-motos on the Saluki (even though they are fine) with Compass 41 mm tires and then replacing the worn rear tire on the Trek keeping the other as a spare. Up till this I have really liked the pari-motos. Living out in the country I don't encounter a lot of debris, just a lot of rough roads and these tires have been great for me.

Plenty for most LED systems, but it *is* less powerful than a dynohub. Definitely worth repeating that my headlight and taillight are among the smallest dyno LEDs available. However, the amount of light the two generate given their size is pretty amazing. Still, if I think I am going to be riding at night where is not a lot of street lighting and what not, I would probably hook up my usb DiNotte tail light to assist the Secula. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

With Rivendell selling the SP dynamo hubs for $110, that doesn't really make a lot of sense to me from an economic standpoint. I guess though if you have to have absolute zero added drag when your lights are off, that would be one way to do it. Or if the slight vibration of a dynamo hub drives you crazy, as it does with some people. All practical considerations aside, it looks very nice.

[RBW] Blug on long chainstays
Interesting post. I heard tell that Jobst would tell the builder, Don't cut anything off of the stays. At any rate, I *tend* to agree with Grant (don't know enough about frames to say with certainty), but my own experience, such as it is, makes me so tend. My 2 Riv Road customs have 44.5 cm stays -- measured to center of horizontals -- actually, I think Chauncey has added another cm or so to the rear: he's waiting for dropouts from England. At any rate, this is the same length as the massively long stays on the Fargo (where I can run 50s actual with PB 60s and an inch of air in between, all 'round). The point, and it's one Grant seems to have missed, is that *long stays do not -- *repeat, *DO NOT* -- *compromise quick handling.* I must clarify. My 2 Rivs turn in noticeably faster than did the Ram (that's one reason I sold the Ram, tho' the Ram was pleasant; just slightly slower that I wanted in a road bike). The customs, while being almost as stable as the Ram in the straight (almost: I think the heavier, larger wheels of the Ram affect things), they turn in with exquisite compliance: no hesitation at all, while not at all being twitchy. Quick but seamless. I'm sure that the short and light wheels affect this too, but on these 2 bikes Grant managed to capture what, for me at least, is a kind of ideal mix of steadiness and quickness -- and, back to the point: this is done despite what, by modern standards, are hugely long stays.

[RBW] Re: bb cable guide channel question
I had the same problem on my Atlantis. I got a plastic cable guide, filed off the BB ridges and drilled tapped a small mounting hole for the guide. No more cables falling out of the channels. BTW, that plastic stuff looks like heat shrink tubing. It never stayed in the guides but always wandered away along the cable. dougP On Thursday, June 25, 2015 at 6:33:38 PM UTC-7, Lungimsam wrote: Bleriots were made with metal shifter cable guide channels that are molded into the bb shell.

[RBW] Re: Blug on long chainstays
I had an '85 Trek 650. Stays for days. I'm scrounging for a photo right now, but I can't lay my hands on one. I do believe that with a wheelbase *that* long, there may have been some slight compromise in handling. But nothing significant. And it was a joy to ride with rear panniers mounted, especially with my enormous feet.

Re: [RBW] Blug on long chainstays
Richard Sachs has for decades built his frames with chainstays longer than the norm, and I don’t hear anybody complaining about the way the handle. The longer stays on my Sachs make it more comfortable to ride, but they don’t make the handling any less lively or precise. --Eric N campyonly...@me.com www.CampyOnly.com Campyonlyguy.blogspot.com @Campyonlyguy On Jun 25, 2015, at 12:26 PM, Patrick Moore bertin...@gmail.com wrote: Interesting post.

[RBW] bb cable guide channel question
Bleriots were made with metal shifter cable guide channels that are molded into the bb shell. They are not the bolt on kind. My Bleriot was originally built up with some plastic tubing that lays onto the guide channels. But sometimes I find they have popped out, and the cables and tubes run outside of the molded channels under the bb. I am thinking this probably makes shifting worse. Is it ok to ditch the plastic tubes and just run the cables bare in the metal bb shell channels? Or will they wear themselves and the metal/paint of the channels away over the years of rubbing? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
