Maybe I'm just an emotional wreck this week (quitting smoking, diet changes, job change), but seeing the picture of both of you together brought a teary tingle (no actual tear as i am a stoic and emotinally repressed white male) to my eye, and a joyful one at that.

[RBW] sheared off crank bolt
On a recent trail ride with my Redwood, I decided to stand and pedal rather than downshift. This had the most unfortunate consequence of the crank bolt shearing inside the bottom bracket. It also resulted in a nearly 6 mile walk back to the house. My question is: can the rest of the bolt be extracted and the bottom bracket re-used? Or should I just forget it and get a new bottom bracket. It's not an expensive BB, Shimano UN-54 or similar. -- Keep the metal side up and the rubber side down! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: sheared off crank bolt
Jim: There is a process called electrical discharge machining which could be used to save the BB. It's meant for things like bolts broken off in engine blocks similar expensive things. Were it my problem, I'd just buy a new BB. Quicker, simpler, less problem sourcing. EDM is great if you break off a stud in your vintage sports car engine. dougP On Thursday, August 6, 2015 at 8:30:03 PM UTC-7, Jim Bronson wrote: On a recent trail ride with my Redwood, I decided to stand and pedal rather than downshift.

[RBW] FS: Poor Man's Riv ... New 58 cm Fuji Connoisseur -- Reynolds Steel, Lugged Fork, Down-Tube Shifters, etc... $495
Hey Riv folks, I have a new (as in zero miles) 58 cm Fuji Connoisseur that I'd like to sell, at what I think is the extremely attractive price of $495. This is a retro inspired modern bike with Reynolds steel frame, downtube shifters, long reach brakes and other Riv-ish goodies. These sold for just shy of $1,000 in the Performance catalog, then were reduced to $700 when I saw them being closed out. I noticed the bare frames on closeout at Nashbar for $400, but they are long gone now. I purchased this one at the Performance store in Chapel Hill, NC, home of Performance. It had been used in a photo shoot, then kicked around the warehouse for a couple of years until I bought it late last fall. I purchased it for a friend, being far too big for me, but his wife banned the new bike acquisition, so I'd like to get it out of my garage. Absolutely new, never ridden, with the only known issues a couple of minor scuffs in the paint and on the saddle corners from kicking around the Performance warehouse. Major features: - Reynolds 725 Cro-Moly butted steel tubing - 1 Cro-Moly steel fork with lugged crown - Beautiful blue paint, with mostly *silver* components -- extremely unusual and nice for a modern bike! - Brakes Long reach (47-57'ish mm) Dia-Compe BRS-101 - Brake Levers Tektro polished alloy - Down-tube shifters Sun-Race SLR63 (8 speed index or friction) - Silver Tange traditional headset - Crankset Fuji Alloy Forged 42/52T Chainrings - Bottom Bracket Sealed Cartridge Square Taper - Pedals Fuji Alloy Platform - Front Derailleur MicroShift FD-R52 - Rear Derailleur MicroShift RD-R44S - Cassette Sunrace, 12-25t, 8-speed - Chain KMC HG-73 - Rims Alex RDP15, Double Wall, 32-hole - Hubs Formula Alloy, Sealed Bearing 32-hole with quick release, 8-speed freehub - Tires Continental Ultra Sport, 700 X 23c - Handlebar classic bend Fuji Alloy - Stem Fuji Alloy 1 Threaded - Saddle Fuji Classic Comfort with Rivet (San Marco Regal knockoff) - Seat Post Fuji Micro-Adjust Alloy, 27.2, 300mm As I said, new, but with a few minor scuffs on paint and saddle corners. Great commute bike with braze-ons for a rack and plenty of room for chunky tires. Priced at $495 + shipping, or can be picked up in the Raleigh, NC area. I prefer to have the bike packed and shipped by an LBS, to minimize hassle and risk. I called a local shop who quoted $35 for packing, including all materials. Someone please buy this, honestly it's a surprisingly nice bike for less than $500! Cheers, -Jack -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Finally done it.
Welcome Wayne! But of course, you've always been with us anyway. On Sun, Aug 2, 2015 at 3:34 PM, Wayne Naha w.r.n...@gmail.com wrote: It's been a long time coming. After being in this group for I don't know how long, I have finally become a legitimate, fully fledged member by purchasing a lovely new Clem Smith, Jr. bicycle. I got the medium size, and I got it in green. Partly because that was the only color left when I ordered and mostly because that was the color I liked best. It was just luck that the green was left, but the other colors would have been fine. Now all the medium size Clems are sold out, so it's fortunate that I purchased when I did. This bike is significant to me because it is a reward to myself, from myself, for getting my act cleaned up. First off, it will be a year next month that I have been following Grant's low carb diet regimen. Really, it was Grant who got me started. I had emailed him to ask which Riv bike a fat guy might ride and enjoy. He replied back that almost any would work, but that if interested, he would send me a copy of Gary Taubes book Why We Get Fat. I had my doubts that anything like a fad diet would be helpful, but decided to at least read the book. Grant sent me the book and I read it. I was recovering from a work related knee injury at the time and so had plenty of time to read. Then one morning I got on our scale and I weighed 263 lbs., ten pounds more than my 'normal' weight. That made the decision for me. Now nearly a year later, I am at 215 lbs. Yes, I do have more to go, but this is about the halfway point. It's all down hill from here, right? grin And in that same year I have given up drinking and ditched my Lexapro script (with support of Dr.). Now that last, about the booze, might sound more dramatic than it really was. It's not like I had to go to rehab and detox, or anything like that. I just had to make a decision. But now I am starting what feels like a new life and it will be on a new bike. It is the least of all Rivs, yes, but I think the Clem will do just fine by me. In my view, the Clem is 90% of a Hunqapillar at 30% of the price, so I think it is a bargain. These last few weeks will drag the longest now until the Clems are ready for delivery, but I am very happy and grateful to be standing where I am. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Cheviot ~ Is more than 1 bottle holder available?
Well the reason I posted this question was that I really want to purchase one for my lady friend. Touring long rides are definitely planned for this new rig. Is having just 1 water bottle holder a strike against a Cheviot? I honestly have to say maybe it is. I'd like 3 water bottle mounts but 2 as a minimum. With that said I was also looking at a LTH for her.

[RBW] FS - 56cm Sam Hillborne frameset
I moved down a size on my touring rig to a new black cream Sam. So, my older 56cm (orange) double TT frame set is up for sale. I'm the only owner, having purchased it new, completely built at the end of 2010 from Renaissance Bicycles in Henderson, NC (a Riv dealer of sorts) when he closed up shop. I used it for touring (overnighters - to - weeklong). 3,600 miles. Included in the sale is the Tange headset (just cleaned and greased), Shimano BB, and a new - still in package - Kalloy Uno SP-248 seat post. No dings or dents and all paint chips were minor, mainly on the drive side chain stay, but are expertly touched up. Decals are perfect and the frame is treated with framesaver. Standover is 83.4cm and the (theoretical horizontal) TT is 59cm. Images and many closeups can be seen on my Flickr album: https://www.flickr.com/photos/bikecrazy-paul/sets/72157656461583886. Price is $700, plus shipping and insurance from the east coast. Please contact me off-list. Thanks for looking!

[RBW] Re: Ride Report: Summit of the Patricks
DS, I started at 7,800 feet, peaked at about 9,500 then met Patrick at 9,200ish, and the reservoir is roughly 9,000 feet. It's got some gentle rollers, then a steep climb away from the reservoir to more rollers on a forest service road. This ride link shows the route we did, though we turning off their defined route onto a FS road at 6.5ish miles (the high point in the middle of the elevation profile). From there we followed the ridge, climbing to 307 N. of the reservoir and took that back to the parking area (well, I turned off a bit early since I was riding home). http://www.mtbproject.com/trail/3264128 With abandon, Patrick On Thursday, August 6, 2015 at 7:25:25 PM UTC-6, DS wrote: What was the elevation (low and high)? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

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.

[RBW] Re: How do I tell if I need a spacer for a 7speed cassette?
if your rear hub spacing is greater than 126mm, then you need a spacer On Thursday, July 16, 2015 at 1:00:44 AM UTC-5, Lungimsam wrote: Hi y'all, Want to try a Shimano 7speed cassette with tight spacing I like on my Blue Sam. How can I tell if I need a 4.5 spacer or not with my freehub? It's an RBW stock 650b wheelset Velocity hub with a Shimano compatible freehub that came stock with 9 speed cassette, then I went to 8-speed. Worked great, but now I wanna go 7speed. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Clem Presale is over.
Really good to hear! I was a bit worried because it seemed like they were (and still are) taking a big gamble with the whole Clem/Chev/Appa push in place of their regular framesets and in-house builds. I'm glad it's working out for them and I can't wait to see people's Clems. I still wish they would go back to selling framesets.

[RBW] Re: Cheviot ~ Is more than 1 bottle holder available?
I use zefal hpx frame pumps on a 60 cm cheviot and a double-toptube 62 cm hillborne. Picking the cheviot up by the seat tube seems the more intuitive spot due to the top tube being lower than where I tend to grab, so the frame pump is not an issue. For some reason, whether it be due to the design of the cheviot's pump peg, the angle, or the fact that it's a shorter pump, I find the frame pump on the cheviot to be the more solid of the two.. Although they're both solid enough to forget about on offroad rides. I also have a lezyne mini pump for times I don't feel like having a frame pump attached for whatever reason but I like the way the bikes look with the frame pumps. Functionally I find them all to be similar, the zefal takes fewer pumps to fill a tire, the lezyne screws on to the valve for a more secure attachment while pumping. They're both nice. Like the bikes. I'm happy to take any combination of tire pump, water storage and actual bike out for long days on (and off) the road. Also, one more option for water bottle holding is that two typically sized water bottles fit side by side on a nitto rack, just bungee them down and you're good to go. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
