[RBW] Weinmann Center Pull Brakes: Tip Tricks?
I am working on setting up a set of Weinmann center pull brakes (610/750 configuration) and was looking for some tips/tricks to get the most out of them. I am using Cane Creek Aero levers and Salmon Kool Stop pads with adjustable shoes. I was wondering if there were any other aspects that I may have missed for improved performance? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Fenders: Cream or Silver?
I put wider tires on my Rivendell and the existing fenders are, now, too narrow. So, I'm getting wider ones. Silver is an old standby (very nice; classic) But I also like the idea of cream fenders. Does the Cream match, or mostly match, the Riv Headtube Cream? Since Rivendell sells the cream, I assume that it looks fine, but I appreciate your input. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Double leg Kickstands... lets talk
I front-load my bike, so simulated a rear load and yeah, I can imagine the angled forces that could affect the plate. Under a front load, though, everything's pretty level and stacked. Also, I agree with the OP; I bought my Pletcher at Riv's recommendation, but haven't found it to be wildly better. In fact, here's a more analytical look as to why it might be worse: http://www.tamiasoutside.com/2009/04/13/pletscher/ https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-oEdB_mhfE0M/VdZbkapMhjI/AfU/XE7gvA6vw-U/s1600/ks12.jpg I find that the two-legger is slightly better, mostly because I can sink the legs into soft dirt and it becomes almost un-tippable.

Re: [RBW] Hunqapillar owner opinions and sizing recommendations
Jason, you're taller than me, but I think we have the same length legs. A 61cm horizontal TT frame fits me perfectly. I think the 62 Hunq would be too big, especially as it has an angled TT. And don't forget you'll (presumably) be riding with fat tires. You would get a taller head tube and longer TT on the 62, and maybe that would be worth it to you as you might have a longer torso.

[RBW] Re: Good Error Resolution from Alex's Cycle in Japan
The main reason is that the Yen has plummeted -- in 2012 one dollar traded at 76 yen and now it's at 125, a 64% increase. If you buy directly you get the benefit of the exchange rate. I'm guessing the domestic wholesalers and retailers are hesitant to adjust prices down, betting that they will rise again and thus confusing consumers. Also, if they are carrying inventory, they may have purchased at a higher price. The duty on most bike parts is not high and on some pieces it's zero (e.g. cranksets).

[RBW] Re: Bombadil Off-Road
BenG - apologies those are RM14's not 13's... I have ridden a fair amount with 46 and 48cm Noodles and really like them. I used the 46cm Noodles on my Bob Jackson this week even. I find the RM14's setup the way they are on the Bomba to force me into the drops more than I do when riding Noodles (I've also ridden the Bomba w/ 48cm noodles). Not sure this is a good or bad thing, there just isn't as much room up on top of the bars and riding the hoods puts my hands in a pretty narrow (for me) configuration so it's just more comfortable in the hooks. So no it wasn't the levers, I could have just as effectively used them from the hoods position, it was the width of the bars at the hooks as opposed to the hoods/ramps. Also the weight further down on the front axle felt better to me, more stable... though I don't know if that is a real thing or just an unsubstantiated sensation. You can't go wrong w/ Noodles... if you run across some RM13's or 14's it might be fun to try them out.

[RBW] Re: Double leg Kickstands... lets talk
Basically it's this, and I'm sorry we've been unclear about it: We have two kickstand plates, a stout one with almost a quarter inch thick steel and a lighter one that is about as thick as a nickel. Most recent Taiwanese frames have the stout plates, and most Waterford-built frames have the thinner plates, but there's probably some overlap somewhere. You can bolt a double legger directly to a thick plate and not worry about it, but the heavy weight and super strong spring of the double will sometimes slowly pry the thin plates off towards the bottom bracket shell, so if you have one of those and you want to use a double, use the sandwich hardware and run the long bolt through the hole in the plate to the kickstand. You can (and maybe should) do that on the stout plates too if you want to be extra safe. Singles are what the plates were designed around, and those are fine on either plate, always. It's a rare problem, but one we figured out a little late in the game, so if it's happening to you please give us a call and we'll do our absolute best to help you.

I love the fixed gear Phil hub that I have on my Salsa Casseroll which has chrome plated semi-horizontal drop outs. The axel end caps and the bolt washers both have serrated edges which hold the wheel in place. It never moves. I think it's easier to mount this wheel in the Casseroll's drop outs than one with a quick release .

In the morning I realized I forgot my stove burning element, and we had used up all the firewood the night before, so we hit up a fancy restaurant in the park.

[RBW] Re: Double leg Kickstands... lets talk
I've had a double leg attached to the plate on my Sam Hillborne since 2012. It's been on and off a few times with no damage noted. Granted, I do not heavily load the bike for touring. I run a trunk sack in the rear with maybe 5 pounds at the most. This does cause the bike to rest on the rear tire with the kickstand down. Another point that no one seems to have mentioned is that the double leg does not fit on the plate out of the box. Mine needed to have quite a bit of material filed off just to fit the stand. Thus, I doubt that the installed weight is the same as the factory weight. I don't see the weight of the kickstand being a factor in deforming the plate. It has to be the side to side forces that would cause damage. At this point, I may remount per Riv's new recommendation with the top plate and plastic chainstay protectors. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

I built a couple a number of years ago, but from old parts as an experiment, and never really used the wheels, which is all to say I am pretty new at this. My question is about tension evenness. I got the wheels up to a pretty high tension, and they are round and true. However, there is some variation in tone when I pluck the spokes. How good is good enough? If all spokes have pretty good tension, how much variability is acceptable? I only have tone to guide me. Is a semi-tone or whole tone (for the musically inclined) of variability ok? In some ways, I feel like having good tension and a true wheel should be good enough, and I notice that sometimes when I push for more perfection in one area, it can cascade to everything else getting worse.

Re: [RBW] Orange Rambouillet at Holmes in Camp Hill PA
It was yours. Ian identified the bike with a quick glimpse of not much more than the head tube. I suppose I should give it back. On Wed, Aug 12, 2015 at 12:56 PM, Mark Wilkins wilkins.m...@gmail.com wrote: Haha! That's probably mine, Johnny. When my blue Rambouillet was stolen back in early December, I immediately took to CL and eBay to see if it would pop up. I soon noticed an orange Ram near Dayton, OH. It definitely wasn't mine, but it did get me thinking about having an orange one. The owner had listed the bike on CL - Dayton, and also eBay. I ended up bidding on the bike on eBay and won the auction. I was already planning being in Columbus (~1.5hr from Dayton) the following week, so I asked the seller to hold it. Picked it up a week or two later. Anyway, I know a couple guys at Holmes, and one of them (a mechanic) had asked if he could borrow my orange Ram for an extended test ride. That was a couple weeks ago, and he still has it. So...if you've seen (or heard about) an orange Rambouillet there, it's almost certainly mine. Of course, I just recovered my stolen Rambouillet a little over a month ago (still can't believe it), so I now have an extra. What's your local shop? Pedal Pusher, by any chance? Good group of guys over there.

Re: [RBW] Re: Fenders: Cream or Silver?
Ok, I can see it. I think it's a lighter shade of cream than that on my Riv, so my color comparison isn't germane. The cream SKS fenders are nice. I got lots of compliments on them.

[RBW] Re: Weinmann Center Pull Brakes: Tip Tricks?
The best I've used are Kool Stop Dura cartridges (I've also used Eagle 2 rear and Continental front, Yokozuna pads and, of course, original Matthausers) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v728/bulldog1935/Raleigh/700c/aaP5260002.jpg I think the extra leverage of cross brakes (interrupters) or moustache cockpit helps quite a bit, as well.
