[RBW] WTB: Nitto Tallux 130mm

[cyclotourist]

My 100mm Technomic isn't cutting it with the new Albatross bars.
Any used 130 Tallux out there? 120mm might be okay as well.

Get a basket that doesn't break...
A Berthoud front bag in the largest size they make! Plus a Compass Nitto stem 
decaleur and you are ready to roll.

[BSWP]

Use a flat piece of stiff aluminium or fiberglass between the rack and the 
basket, it will help disperse the cyclic impulse impact forces that the 
thin Wald wires are unable to absorb. Or get a more rugged basket.

[RBW] Re: How to get out Brooks sit bone divets sop the rear frame down;t dig into my rear end.

[Lungimsam]

I'm thinking of a step by step:
1. Tension saddle
2. Proof hide top.
Wait a day or so and see how it feels. If that doesn't work:
3. Tension more.
If that doesn't work:
4. Imperialise it with a cutout, and see if that flattens out the top.
If that doesn't work:
5. Install new Imperial saddle.
6. Find a nice place in the house to place honey Flyer as a decoration and as 
memorabilia for all the nice rides I had on it.
I'll be disappointed though to learn that a Brooks is done in less than a year, 
though. I might contact Beooks for warranty.

[RBW] Re: Tested 6 pairs of 700c (29in) tires - results and impressions

[Lungimsam]

Matt,
BQ studies tire construction to determine which designs give the rider the 
fastest and most comfortable ride quality.
It is alleged that the speed percentages measured in the BQ studies (like the 
slowest tire tested was ~20% slower than the fastest tire tested., iirc) adds 
up over long distances. So a 10 hour ride with the slowest tires, in theory, 
would take only 8 hours on the fastest tires.

I have not noticed significant speed increases with GB or Compass tires over 
others I have ridden. But they are very comfortable, seem to keep their 
momentum up very well when starting up a hill, and their cornering is 
fantastic. I didn't get the last two benefits from my Schwalbe Marathons, 
though they were also excellent tires.

[RBW] Re: How to get out Brooks sit bone divets sop the rear frame down;t dig into my rear end.

[Bill M.]

If the leather has truly stretched to the point where you have a distinct 
center ridge and two deep "cheek pockets", just tensioning the saddle won't 
help.  It will just make the ridge all the more prominent, and you won't be 
any more comfortable.  

When you are ready for drastic measures:

Soak the saddle in water.  Really soak it, like submerged for a week in a 
tub, with the tension bolt fully slack.  That will soften the leather 
enough that it can be reshaped.  Reshape it by hand, massaging the ridge 
down and the dents back to something that looks like a new saddle.  Stuff 
something waterproof into the saddle and truss it up to hold that shape, 
than let it dry thoroughly.  Give it time.  

Once it's dry, polish it as best you can with Proofide (or your favorite 
balm).  The surface won't be as shiny smooth looking as a new saddle, but 
it was unrideable anyway, right?  DON'T apply a bunch of Proofide to the 
bottom, that will soften up the leather again and you don't want that. 
 Just polish the top like it was a pair of dress shoes.  

Before riding the saddle, put a bit of tension back on the leather.  Don't 
overdo it, but as you ride it do add a bit of tension as needed to help 
retain the shape.  To that end, two more things to do.  One, lace the 
skirts.  That will help the top stay flatter.  Two, if you're brave enough 
to go this far, cut out the center of the saddle a la Imperial / Anatomica. 
 Fancy shaping not needed, just a nice oval cutout.  If there's no material 
in the center, there is no way for a ridge to reform.  I have posted on 
that topic before.

I have soaked, reshaped and cut out a B17 (granted, a late-90's vintage one 
with very good leather) and it made the saddle much nicer.  These days I 
prefer my Rivet, but the hacking the otherwise-useless B17 gave it a new 
life.

[RBW] The Impossible School Commute

[LeahFoy]

This year we enrolled the boys in a new charter school. It is over 2 miles from 
home and a VERY challenging commute - all downhill to school, all uphill home. 
It's the kind of hill that cyclists in Lycra who ride carbon bikes flock to for 
the challenge. No one thought this was a viable bike commute, at least not with 
children. It's too hot, they said. That hill is too steep, they said. Your 
younger child is only six, they said. My kids would never do that, they said. 

We've made it most days and it sure has been freeing! Further bolstering my 
decision was a giant neighborhood squabble on the Nextdoor app.  There was 
outrage over parents parking all over the neighborhood, blocking driveways and 
driving erratically. It got all sorts of nasty, so I finally chimed in. Since 
there are just too many cars and no place to park them,  I encouraged those 
parents who head home after dropping off/picking up kids to bike with their 
kids. (I totally kept it from being preachy. I was going for a 
you-want-what-I-got approach.) I told them I meet lovely people, get exercise, 
and best of all, I'm not angry. I nudged then into getting a commuter with a 
shiny new bell and a basket. And then I said they must come to dinner at my 
house so we can chat all about it. The next day people were honking and waving 
and yelling, "Go, Leah!" on the way to school. Since I was practically the only 
biking mom out there, I was recognized easily. Pedestrians stopped me and said, 
"You must be Leah!" I made a plethora of friends overnight. Now I ring my bell 
and wave and yell "Good morning!" and people love it. Best of all, I now see 
several parents on bikes dropping off and picking up with kids at school. What 
a welcome sight!

I put one photo here, but check out the other recent ones in the album. 
Pictures proved you can change your collective attitude, one bike at a time. 
Also, please notice my bicycle necklace because it's DARLING.

you can add the brevet you want to your cart and check out via paypal and 
you're all set. No rusa # needed.

You can register at the following link:

http://www.sfrandonneurs.org/registration.htm

You don't need a RUSA number, but you do need to register at least a couple 
days before the event. Pay by PayPal, then you will need to sign a waiver 
at the start. Many people decide to become a RUSA member after riding their 
first event.

Re: [RBW] Re: So why no Titanium Wald basket?

[tarik saleh]

I will add this here too:
https://flic.kr/p/pMrzXJ
Wald intentional mini porteur rack by JimG.

I usually only use it for bulky, but not super heavy stuff. On the front of
my big dummy. But the load is much better spread out and much less
cantilevered out as well compared to your tiny footprint basket support.

Works well with the WALD 139, designed to also work with the wald 137, but
I have not tried it yet. (the two baskets that riv sells).  I am with Shawn
though, the Wald giant delivery basket has handy bands that support the
load well,it would be nice to see that on the 139 too. You should be able
to easily use some wood to spread the load under the wald basket, but as
others have noted, you are clearly in Cetma country for the front load if
you are breaking baskets that often, get a demi porteur rack and have less
breakdowns.

Enjoy

[RBW] Re: SF Randonneurs 100k mixed terrain populaire, Sat. Sept. 12

[ted]

I did this ride last year. You don't need a rusa # to register and I still 
don't have one. I think you do need to register before the day of though. They 
make a brevet card for each rider and those are printed before the event. I 
don't think they are set up to print them at the event.

[Surlyprof]

Based on the description, it did sound like a fun and more reasonable entry 
into randonneuring than some of the 200k rides.  I've never tried one 
before but wanted to start.  However, the electronic registration form 
won't accept my registration without an RUSA number.  I need to submit an 
AWRL (waiver for release from liability) form somewhere.  Unfortunately, I 
can't figure out where to send it.  I may just try to show up with the 
printed and signed form and register at Chrissy Field.  If anyone knows 
where to send the AWRL form, please let me know.

Thanks,

[Deacon Patrick]

Plan for failure? Instead of a stronger basket, use a planned weaker mode 
of attachment, designed to fail before the basket does? Same as the concept 
of using light weight tippet to attach your fly to your line. Grin.

I do know a guy with a Ti basket/porteur rack on his commuter bike. He 
works at well-known Ti frame shop and I assume it's mostly scrap tubing. 
Probably very $$$ and no better than 4130.
You need a legit porteur rack. Haulin' Colin racks are nice; I love mine.

Re: [RBW] Re: So why no Titanium Wald basket?

Manny carries big loads (those bacon-wrapped hot dogs weigh a lot) over 
rough surfaces. It's not surprising that the flex caused by that would wear 
through a Wald ziptied to a Nitto. See, for example,

Hit the 'events registration' tab on the right side of the SF Randos web 
page. You don't need a RUSA number. I'm sure you could just show up and pay 
on site, as well...

Re: [RBW] Re: So why no Titanium Wald basket?

I'm curious about the delicacy of Wald baskets. I don't have years' long
experience with them*, but I have used many different models for enough
miles to get to know them, including the giant Newsboy, and, mounted sans
rack and with just the included hardware, it seemed pretty damned strong --
hard to see how anything could bust it.

What the heck do y'all carry in your Walds? Is the problem lack of
perimeter support, ie, support only in the center of the basket by a narrow
rack? Why not use the included struts?

What about the garden variety milk crate on a porteur rack?

no more than 12 months.

  Yes !   I was considering adding a wire basket to my mini Nitto but the idea 
never sat well to me, just too small of an area to be attached leading to 
increased stress in areas undesigned for it.

So a porteur rack it is for me , likely the VO model as it includes a little 
larger fence than the Soma's optional one.  The tang on VO is also an 
under-the-fork crown type which I need with canti brakes.

KC, I haven't decided which bike to take with me.  Any one would work 
great, and it might come down to how I feel when it is time to put 
something in a box.

The trip will be special because it promises to blend family, friends, and 
riding.  It sounds like I'll be able to meet some of my east US friends for 
the very first time.  I'm sure I'll follow-up with some kind of a report.

Re: [RBW] So why no Titanium Wald basket?

[Aaron Young]

Just an idea: maybe try the platrack wing attachments?  Wider support area
for the rack.

It's cro-mo, and lugged.  I can't imagine it's fragile – I would have thought 
the reverse.

[RBW] Re: So why no Titanium Wald basket?

Speaking of Wald, I was down at my favorite LBS a few months ago to buy a 
Wald bearing repair kit for the cheap one-piece crankset that was trashed 
on the grand-daughter's bike.  The proprietor told me how much he liked 
Wald because they made products like that which no one else in the industry 
is making any more.  And then he bemoaned the rumor he heard that they will 
soon be going out of business.  Anyone else heard that kind of news?

I've seen the Minoura basket at my LBS.  Appears to be well made.  Similar

reaching up to the top of the stem.

I just put a Surly "Open Bar" on my bike and I like it so far, it's in this 
family of bars you're looking at. Switched from an albatross which I loved 
but wanted a little more width (the surly's are a wicked 66.6) and less 
sweep. The more options the better, generally.

At ~$20-ish, I'd rather the basket blow up than the rack to which it's 
mounted! 

BTW: did you see what Manny did to his Sam frame a while ago? He's a force

project should fit better in my stable.

That said, the 56 Atlantis should prove to be a perfect "all road enduro" 
bike for someone.  After yesterday's ride, I considered putting drops on it 
and keeping it.

[RBW] Re: So why no Titanium Wald basket?

[Garth]

   Wire baskets were never designed to be mounted on top of racks were they 
?

  As Anton stated if your going to mount it on top of racks by all means 
reinforce it ! You'd do the same thing with a woven or bamboo basket too .  

Or get creative. There are lots and lots of wire baskets out there . Many 
are a heavier gauge , like this one for example :

[RBW] Re: Handlebar Comparison: Albatross, MAP/Ahearne, Jitensha, VO Postino

[Surlyprof]

I believe mountain bars are usually the wrong diameter tubing for bar ends.  
More significantly, the shifters would stick out to the sides with those bars 
and probably catch on everything.  They tend to work on the more swept back 
bars like the Albatross and Albastache (although I did hit them with my knee 
when I had them on Albatross).

[Ron Mc]

there are some paul thumbies for sale right down the page.  They make a lot 
more sense with this bar.  But I do not believe the "mountain" bar will 
take bar end shifters.
