Rene, When I first got my Atlantis it was completly bare bones. No racks, no fenders, just some 42mm touring tires and moustache bars with friction barends. I had an absolute blast bombing around town. The bike felt sporty and fast. So I get where you're going with the Compass 38s and the Elysee's. It's gotta feel stupendous.

It wasn't easy to make this decision, for all the obvious emotional reasons, but after following the advice of one list member on riding one bike only for a while, alternating between my Hunqapillar and my Atlantis (both with low trail forks), there is no doubt in my mind that the one I enjoy the most, can ride most comfortably and just love to take out when I can ride, is the Atlantis in its latest configuration with the Barlow Pass tires and the Compass Elysees handlebars with reverse brake levers. So, while I can rationalize why I would still keep the Hunqapillar, contrary to what I first thought I'd do, this is the one that has to go now.

You use them on bare cables, not in the middle of a housed section. If you have mtb brake levers, you can sneak the cable nipple out of the lever. This works well for swapping between Albatross and Bullmoose (provided you can live with the same length of brake housing).

[RBW] Re: Bars on the Hunqapillar
If you use Centerpulls then you can make sure you have slotted cable hangars and you can unhook and remove the brakes without needing splitters. Then you just have to do new runs for the new bars. You do need enjoy barrel adjusters and straddle carriers (what are those called!). If you use stem shifters, just unbolt, rebolt. Downtubes, nothing!

Clayton- The CX-70--and many other double FDs--can work fine with a triple crankset. Except with Shimano STIs, which is the OP's question. Jan Heine covered this particular issue well. It's the same article where he praises the CX-70, btw. https://janheine.wordpress.com/2013/03/25/trouble-with-sti-triples/ Campagnolo Ergopower shifters may be more versatile, as they don't actually index as much as ratchet. Or, try Gevenalle/Retroshifts. I haven't tried them yet, but they have lots of fans. My friend tried them and said they're great once you adapt to the shifting action.

Re: [RBW] Re: IRD Thumbshifters and Quill shift mount questions
IME, which extends across the gamut of fully 2 bicycles -- old 5 speed Raleigh Sprite, and '03 Curt Custom 1X10 -- a chain will stay put very securely on a relatively close ratio cluster ridden on pavement. What one will do if subjected to the jarring of rough dirt roads, I can't say. Someone does make chainrings designed precisely for single ring, derailleur drivetrains, with alternating thick and thin teeth; this was discussed on this or the boblist recently. Back to the Raleigh Sprite: single ring-cum-derailleur drivetrains used to be quite common on city and utility bikes; heck, even on sporting bikes: http://smg.photobucket.com/user/psychlist/media/P4073421_edited.jpg.html On Thu, Jul 9, 2015 at 7:45 PM, Johnny Alien johnnyal...@verizon.net wrote: If I ditch the derailer will the chain stay properly.

[RBW] IRD Thumbshifters and Quill shift mount questions
The IRD thumbshifter is a shortened Silver ratchet shifter, so it should fit onto the IRD stem mount just fine. But you might be able to skip this step altogether and just mount your shifters-with-clamps onto your quill stem. The diameter of your clamps and the stem mount is the same, so just put a wrap of cloth tape around the stem and slide them on. This will be a bit clunky with two shifters - and I'm not sure how the cable angle will work - but should work fine with just one. Keeping the front derailer without a shifter will work if you can get the limit screws adjusted to hold it in place over the big ring. Or you can ditch it so you can stop and put the chain on the small ring for that inevitable big hill. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] IRD Thumbshifters and Quill shift mount questions
When I bought my Hillborne from the fine Riv folks I got the Albatross bars with IRD thumbshifters set up. When Brian was building it up he warned me that while those thumbshifters are fantastic (and they are) that it might be better to go with the stem shifter mount or bar ends to give me max amount of positions on the bars. I really wanted the shifting right by my hands and I don't like bar end shifters that much so I told him it would be fine with the thumbs. I should learn that the Riv folks really know their stuff because after owning it for almost a year now I have decided that I really feel a bit cramped around the brake area because of the shifters. Is it possible to remount the IRD shifters onto the quill shift mount? It seems like it should be possible but I am unsure. My other option is this...I don't use the front shifter at all. I have the wide low double and am always in the larger chainring. I could always just mount the right thumb shifter onto the quill and just drop the left one completely. I assume that as long as I leave the derailer there I could just remove that shifter completely. All of this might free me up to more easily switch to moustache bars later if I want to. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Sugino Wide/Low Feedback + Are Sugino Cranks STI Compatible ??
Another not directly related answer, but I use campagnolo ergo shifters with 8 speeds in the back, and a wide-low double up front. Works great. I can shift all 8 gears in the back with the front on the 42 tooth, no rubbing or noise, and don't even need to trim. That said, campy ergo front shifters aren't indexed. They have something like 12 detants, so there's quite a bit of flexibility for shifting / trimming. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

60 mm clearance still isn't enough for a 60 mm Super Moto, quite possibly the dreamiest all-rounder tire.

[RBW] Re: Sugino Wide/Low Feedback + Are Sugino Cranks STI Compatible ??
As others have mentioned, the biggest issue will be finding a compatible front derailleur. Shimano STI shifters work with road front derailleurs, not with mountain ones. Road triples are optmized around a larger crankset, like 50/39/30, and generally have longer cages that could hit the chainstay, since you'll be setting the FD up quite low. The IRD Alpina front derailer that Riv sells seems to be optimized for smaller rings, so it may be your best bet for a compact triple. If you run a double, the CX-70 seems like a good option. Personally, I've never been satisfied with the STI or Ergo triple setups I've tried. Too awkward, too much effort, hard to trim, and generally subpar front shift performance (I'm satisfied with STI/Ergo double shifting). My favorite shifter for a triple is the Silver bar-end. It's smoother than the Shimano bar-ends and seems to have a bit more cable pull, which equals to shorter, stronger shift lever motions. Conversely, I'm beginning to prefer Shimano bar-ends in indexed mode for the rear shifter. In my experience, the friction thumbscrew is unreliable and always too tight or too loose. I'm about to set up both my main bikes in such a Frankenstein combination, Silver on the left and Shimano on the right. Regarding cross-chain issues, a properly set up double will allow you to shift to each extreme (big/big and small/small) without the chain rubbing on the front derailer (modern double STIs have additional trim positions in between). That doesn't mean that it's a good idea to ride in those combinations.

Re: [RBW] Re: Sugino Wide/Low Feedback + Are Sugino Cranks STI Compatible ??
Yes, that should present no problem. Double shifting isn't so picky, and the CX-70 should clear the frame (it's designed for smaller rings). Newer double STI shifters have additional cross-chain detents, for trimming. I don't know when / what product level Shimano incorporated these, though. A wide-low (aka ultracompact) double, paired with a wide range cassette, can produce a very usable gearing range.

[RBW] Re: Bars on the Hunqapillar
I do this same thing with my two Hillbornes. Though in my case I confess I tend to use the Bosco and Albatross bars most of the time (80%). I've used my Moustache every now and then and I've only rarely used the Noodles and Bullmoose over the past year or two. Even with my limited exploitation of the variations, this is a great way to operate. After all, people with n+1 bikes surely go through phases of riding mn of those bikes most of the time. Being bar-switch-capable is a cheap (and space-saving!) way of having some freedom of choice. Switching bars really does yield something of a different bike feel. DaVinci splitters are great! Shoji's note has brought to mind how much fun it is to whip that Bullmoose around. Definitely going to take some decent rides with those in the coming days. Probably take me 15-20mins to switch this time; I think I've shuffled derailers, cables, and maybe the rear wheel since last time.

[RBW] Re: Question about Imperial saddles
I've been told that the term for what I've done to that B67 is 'scooped'... And that it's fairly rare in the supposedly heavy duty sprung Brooks saddles. It hasn't impacted comfort though, it fits 'like a glove!' But I haven't done a ride over 20 miles with that saddle in a while either. Paired with albatross bars it just feels right. I've put similar mileage on a Brooks flyer and not done nearly the amount of scooping. That flyer had much thicker feeling leather than the B67 though. Neither are as thick as the Rivet though. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Sugino Wide/Low Feedback + Are Sugino Cranks STI Compatible ??
hi Steve, I use it mostly as a granny, and am most always on the 42T for pavement riding. However, I have 14% grades to get to my house. So I will shift to the 25T and use the full range for approach gears. The range on the 25T also covers most off-road needs and keeps the RD up out of harms way.

[RBW] Brifters on Noodles?
I picked up a Bike Friday a few weeks ago, my first dropbar bike in 10 years. I'm liking the Shimano Sora brifters enough to stick with them for a while (a vast improvement over the first-gen 9-speed Ultegras I tried years ago), but the 42cm Salsa bars just ain't cuttin' it. My last dropbars were 44cm Noodles, which I loved. My concern is that being slightly wider, with a long ramp, might make the reach to pushing those shifters sideways a bit long. Does anyone here have experience with this setup? Thanks, Joe click click Bernard Vallejo, CA. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Brifters on Noodles?
Drop-bar 20-wheeled bikes are a blast... especially when a 46cm noodle is involved! 48 should work too, but I've found as I widen my bar, I prefer a little less stem (e.g. 1cm shorter than w/ 46 or gasp, 44). =- Joe Bunik Walnut Creek, CA On 7/9/15, Call Me Jay callmehamt...@mac.com wrote: I have 46cm Noodles with Campy 10 Ergos on my Custom and it seems to fit me fine.
