[RBW] Re: More Sam Love--and do you ride your Riv through winter?
I ride my Atlantis all winter long, no problems at all. I might get a touch of surface rust here and there on a steel bolt, or bit of exposed frame where the paint is worn off, but it is so thin it comes off easily. I should apply a new layer of frame-saver this fall though. Don't want a surprise hole appearing from the inside. I believe that if you have good quality components, they should easily last the winter. I have a Phil rear hub, SONdelux front hub, Phil BB, XT derailleur. All those parts handled the winter no problem. And I've got a real NASTY winter where I'm from (Winnipeg, Manitoba. Winter is six months long, dips down to -40 for a while). I always lock my bike indoors as well, so there are many melt/freeze cycles happening. Giving the bike a good shake before bringing it in (or brushing the snow off with a nylon brush or something similar) is a great idea. The riv's are real tough, don't be afraid to get it a bit cold! https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-K_LC_Pf2olU/Va5za5X_x1I/LWo/GI9O5a0SHmI/s1600/16369296007_70d38d74b9_k.jpg On Tuesday, July 21, 2015 at 10:52:24 AM UTC-5, Surlyprof wrote: I had similar difficulties but thought it was the Compass tires (which I had heard were tough to seat).

I have a surly LHT that I commute year round. I am on year 6 of using it. I figure ride a bike you like, even in winter, just wipe off when it is nasty. So far no negative consequences from the use. I figure a new bike even being ridden in the winter should last many years. I used to work at a bike shop and never saw a frame that rusted from inside out from winter use.

Re: [RBW] Re: tandem captain advice?
Thank you all for your advice. It was really helpful, especially the bit about how the captain can hold the bike during mount/dismount. The ride is only 11 miles and with like 100 other folks so it's not particularly fast. You could say I would be there just to enjoy the ride...but it does give me a good incentive to seek other tandem captains in the future. Interesting fact: I'm deaf, so I don't rely on voice commands or hand signals when on a tandem - mostly I focus on the rhythm and on the streets when it comes to stops, bumps, and turns. Most of the time I actually do all the talking (maps, etc) especially if the captain is talking to someone else in the group and not paying attention to the road. :) -E.

[RBW] FS: SON 20 R dyno hub, 28 hole, $190 shipped CONUS OBO
About 3 K miles in a Rich-built wheel, but as smooth today as on the day of its birth. No blemish on the finish, either. Why am I selling? I'll tell you why I'm selling. I discovered last week that this hub is made for 28 spokes (Twenty Eight Spokes). And the new Sun/Ringle EQ21 rims don't come in 28 spokes. Oh well!

[RBW] Re: Sam Bliss, my first Riv
Congrats on the new bike. Nice looking! Took my nephew to a workshop at the Apple store, used his ipad and when browsing the riv site the 51cm sam specials popped up again.

It was really helpful, especially the bit about how the captain can hold the bike during mount/dismount. The ride is only 11 miles and with like 100 other folks so it's not particularly fast. You could say I would be there just to enjoy the ride...but it does give me a good incentive to seek other tandem captains in the future. Interesting fact: I'm deaf, so I don't rely on voice commands or hand signals when on a tandem - mostly I focus on the rhythm and on the streets when it comes to stops, bumps, and turns.

Re: [RBW] Re: More Sam Love--and do you ride your Riv through winter?
I'll probably just end up riding it all year. My problem really is pure and utter laziness. I can't remember the last time I cleaned any of my bikes. I figure it'll probably rain soon-it always does. That's cleaning. And in the winter I'm even less likely to bother. @surlyprof I love the knards they buzz a little on the road but they really seem to do well in almost everything. I have smart sams too on another bike- like those as well. The knards are light enough cheap enough and tough enough and that's good enough for me. They maybe don't corner the best but for all around they really have been my favorite. No flats and wearing well.

Perhaps when you become the owner of a nice new Rivendell you'll feel motivated to give up your wicked ways and take better care of it than you're used to.

I'm going to start. At least I say I am.

I'm the worst kind of bike hypocrite. But I can't afford SAMs on a yearly basis so I'm gonna be super good to this one! It really is just such a special bike.
