Re: [RBW] Re: Cheviot ~ Is more than 1 bottle holder available?
Agreed on the second spot under the down tube and third behind the seat tube - at least on the larger sizes for the seat tube. Might as well take advantage of space afforded by those long chain stays. I'll be trying the twofish behind the seat and see how that goes.

Re: [RBW] Bike rental Rockville, MD area
Man, the generosity on here is amazing! Erl - Unfortunately I think a 56cm Atlantis is too tall from a standover perspective (maybe you can confirm, but I cap out about a 31 standover and get nervous trying to dismount anything higher in traffic or in a pinch). My typical frame sizes range from a 48 on the low side to 54cm on the high side, with 52 usually being the sweet spot depending on the frame. Dan - I'll PM you.

[RBW] Re: The Silver Hubs
Another interesting characteristic of the rear hub is the location of the pawls. Unlike most freehubs, which have the pawls on the freehub body, these hubs have the pawls (6 sets of 2ea) located in the hub body, with the ratchet ring on the freehub body. So the moving parts move less -- great design. As for the steel-or-alloy freehub body, my money's on steel. I'll check it with a magnet when I'm back there on Thursday. Oh, and yes, definitely cartridge bearings. 4 in the rear hub. On Friday, July 17, 2015 at 10:46:39 AM UTC-7, Ginz wrote: What do y'all think of the new Silver hubs? Are they cartridge bearing'd?

[RBW] Re: my new Roadeo
I'm sure all would agree that pictures are mandatory! ;-) 28mm Grand Bois tires on the Roadeo are my favorites for sporty handling during fast, twisty descents. 23mm rims. I've also tried Jack Brown Greens. They give a more sure-footed stable feel for city commuting with a saddle bag but are too stable feeling for me on twisty descents. They also roll noticeably (to me) slower, but gain that plow through stuff feeling that is really nice. I currently have 30mm GB Cypres Extra Legers on the Roadeo. They feel like they roll the fastest and smoothest with the most vibration damping but the sidewalls are really fragile. I accidentally rubbed a sidewall against a rough asphalt curb and ruined a virtually new rear tire that way. There's a durability tradeoff, but they are really fast feeling and smooth...but I still like the handling feel of the 28's mentioned above better I think.

Re: [RBW] Merckxte!
It's a Falcon-made Merckx, which were a line licensed by Eddy but factory-made by Falcon. http://www.sheldonbrown.com/falcon.html Although there were high-end Falcon-made Merckx bikes, the cottered crank on this one indicates it was a cheapo model. That doesn't mean it isn't classy. I like how the diagastays have two curves. The rear curve (obscured by the pannier) looks Riv-esque. It's obviously well-used but appreciated as daily transport, and it has a newer rear tire. I'd lock up any bike that was that nice Molteni orange. Although I'm sure the saddle is just a scavenged item, it makes me think, red and yellow make orange. It also reminds me that my red Riv had ugly yellow bar tape and cages when I bought it, which made me think of a fast food clown.

Re: [RBW] Re: Cheviot ~ Is more than 1 bottle holder available?
Although I've tooted and touted the virtues of the classic HpX, and enjoyed the more dubious style points of the uber cool but primitively annoying Impero (Campy head; what else?), I have to say that Lezyne has brought minipumps out of barbarism into high civilization. I forget the model, but they have a fat, short one that does wonderfully with 622 X 60 Big Apples and even better with 622 X 50 Furious Freds. And I just bought a Road Drive in Medium, and in beautiful polished aluminum, which fits nicely into the custom Banzer Bag that adorns my gofast. The Road Drive claims 160 psi max, which means in reality that 90 is easy for skinnies. Lezyne also makes a miniature floor pump that puts the Topeak Morphs to shame aesthetically and ergonomically, but it's a wee bit too long and bulky for a smallish seat pack. These words from one who, 20 years ago, suffered Untold Hells trying to get 559 X 35 Fatboys to the statutory 110 psi, as labeled on the sidewall, using Blackburn Airsticks. That said, while I have, am now, and will in the future abandon, reject, dismiss, renounce, relinquish, disclaim, disavow, forgo, disown, discard, and utterly reject all frame pumps in favor of the best current mini pumps, I fully intend, aim, propose, and determine to have suitable pump peg affixed, appended, attached, and subjoined to any possible future and at this point hypothetical custom dirt road bike for the sake of mounting a medium-sized Impero with Campy head, to complement the bike's inevitable Dura Ace 7410 derailleurs.

[RBW] Re: Ketogenics: long rides during the first couple weeks
Alan, one of the things that happens with intermittent fasting (eating within an 8 hour or less each day) is that your body does dip into being ketogenic and it learns how to burn fat and then handle carbs when they come in moderate amounts. Also, leafy greens don't count as carb, as the carbs are fiber and convert to fatty acids in the lower intestine. FOr quite a while I followed the PHD on a more extreme intermittent fasting (I just ate to hunger and that usually meant one meal a day). Regarding cholesterol numbers, they don't mean what your doctor likely thinks they mean (and they never have). I'd recommend Grain Brain for a solid explanation, but the concepts are that we require cholesterol for brain health and it is not even very corollary to heart disease, let alone causal. Andy is right, a super strict ketogenic diet would be amazingly strict and there is no real need for it. In summer I'll have a fruit (a peach with whipped cream today. Yum.) and keifer or yoghurt in wee amounts, plus unlimited leafy greens. That's still below whatever threshold I figured out works for me, and you are entering into your own N=1 and will learn a lot in the next few months about what works for you.

Dear Patrick and Andy - Thank you for your thoughtful responses, I really appreciate it, and Deacon, I find your conceptual way of sharing both what you understand about the science (even if the technical details make your eyes and brain glaze over, as they do mine!) and how you relate that to your own experience I find extremely helpful. It is true, I have no (known!...) medical condition that would necessitate a formal ketogenic diet, but am interested in a little experimentation as I now have a modestly elevated HA1C and some wacked lipid profiles that appear to be trending in the wrong direction. I think I may have thrown myself into this a little to quickly and extremely, and will take a little more time to study up and perhaps reframe my timeline, expectations, and self-care along the way! I'm also not particularly interested in a severe approach to food and love making, eating, and savoring it too much to even want to be overly regimented about it, but it appears that a little well-informed, non-oppressive regimentation may be in order. Thank you for suggesting the PHD book, it is ordered, and if I understand you correctly, i may be able to induce some fat burning down the road without being formally ketogenic. In the meantime, I'll make sure I'm properly fueled and unmiserable as I continue to ride along! Hope you are both well, and Deacon, I'm glad you have taken such good care of your battered brain, we are all beneficiaries of your insights, humor, knowledge, and encouragement, and while I know from what you have written that you have had to make major lifestyle changes to keep both psyche and soma in good form, any deficits are undetectable from where I sit.

Your liver isn't yet up to speed on converting protein to glucose on the fly. It will get there, but it has to build up to it, and that's part of what takes months. Being ketogenic is a state where your body does not consume carbs of any kind (less than 20 grams) in a day. I'm betting you don't want or need to be full time ketogenic. This is an extreme version of low carb and from all I've read it is not recommended unless you have a medical condition warranting it (generally a neurological issue of some sort). I am nearly always ketogenic and my bludgeoned brain functions much better this way. However, my wife and daughters eat safe carbs (white rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes), four fist fulls a day. This is the approach of the Perfect Health Diet (book on Amazon, no affiliation) and it may be a great way for you to go. You become fat burning, but also eat the carbs your body needs rather than relying on your liver to produce them. There is a don't do it window in low carb eating between ketogenic and low carb consumption where the body is getting to many carbs to be in ketosis, and not enough carbs to replace what the body isn't doing. I forget the amounts of carbs involved here, but the concept is go higher or lower, not in the middle. You may find the concept of intermittent fasting helpful. It's simple: eat all your food for the day in an 8 hour window, then fast for the other 16. This is well explored in the PHD book as well. This is great for health as your body enters a pick up the trash and recycle the bits floating around phase. If you need to eat carbs for your Sept. century ride, eat them. No biggie. I would recommend avoiding grains and processed sugar, but instead eat fruit and nuts. Have fun, and enjoy the ride!

Here's the scoop: Started the EBDJ diet last Saturday August 1st, with a commitment to go 6 weeks, then assess. At the same time, we (my lady Heidi and I) have been training up for a rambling century ride in September, and are gonna do 60 or so miles this weekend. I'm a little worried about going on a long ride, one I would normally carb - up for, before my body is doing the fat-burning ketogenic thing, for fear of bonking. This weekend, we went on a 25 mile and I ended up riding like a tree sloth, in slow motion, even on the flats, desperately

The revelation with this combination is that I can ride as slow as I want on steep hills and not get bogged down. For a club rider like myself (63 yo ), the bike is perfect.
