Re: [RBW] My new Roadeo

[James Warren]

I love reading reports like this.

And regarding clearance, Riv used to show a Roadeo set up nicely with Jack 
Browns and fenders. It might even be on their Roadeo page.

That bike looks great as a B conversion. Any pedal-strike problems with
it's relatively low bottom bracket?

Re: [RBW] Re: Compass Knickers

[Dennis Hogan]

I followed a similar path and got a pair of "army" (not sure which army) 
wool pants at good 'ol Andy & Bax in Portland. Heavy duty wool and buttons 
- took them to a local seamstress and had them converted to knickers - all 
in they were about $55 - they are very good for the winter but a bit of 
overkill for the rest of the seasons.

[RBW] FS: SP SV-8 Dynamo Hub - 36h

[David Banzer]

FS: SP SV-8 Dynamo Hub - 36h

This one: http://www.rivbike.com/SP-dyno-hub-p/hu-18202.htm

This was intended for my Clem, though I decided to stick with battery 
lights, so hub is unneeded. Funds from sale will go to buying final parts 
for my Clem build.
Same price as Riv, though I'll ship this USPS Priority so it'll arrive 
quickly.
$110 shipped.
If you'd like it, go through my webstore here to buy it: 
http://treetop.bigcartel.com/product/sp-sv-8-dynamo-hub-36h
Anything else you'd like that I have listed in my webstore will ship for 
free as well. Contact me after you've purchased the hub and I'll arrange 
whatever else you'd like.
Any questions? Please contact me offlist if you can.
Thanks,
David

[RBW] Re: San Francisco to Monterey, via way of Rivendell picnic

[dougP]

David:

We had fun meeting you guys & hanging out at the picnic.  My wife is still 
in awe of her Atlantis, and how laid back Rivendell people are.  

San Francisco to San Luis Obispo or Santa Barbara is a fantastic ride.  SLO 
& SB are luggage stops for Amtrak, so you can box your bike and get back to 
the Bay Area on the Coast Starlight.  It's a lot easier process than what 
the airlines put you thru.  Some friends are currently in central Oregon, 
after taking the Starlight from LA to Seattle, and report the service went 
well.  

Ultra-long distance cyclists are on another planet.  They are fascinating 
to talk to, as they have worked out the details of "living on a bike".  I'm 
sure they get the same questions over'n'over, and simply load the track 
"standard answers" when approached.  For me, I love riding my bike, but I'm 
over the "if a little is good, more must be better" syndrome.  I enjoy 
accounts of ultra rides, but mostly for the unexpected events and not the 
biking itself.  My guess is that's what propels these people who can spend 
months or years traveling.

[RBW] My new Roadeo

[Don Compton]

I know that I am preaching to the Choir. I picked up my new Riv Roadeo 
frame set the end of August. I installed the Shimano 6800 11sp group set 
along with a set of Shimano "medium reach" brake set. After over 1600 
miles, the equipment and the frame set have been flawless. For a club rider 
( never race), the Roadeo is perfect. I run 700x28 Grand Bois tires pumped 
to 60fr and 70r.
I know this is sort of a repeat, but I just need to sen an update.
I was having a problem with setback ( short femors) and I just raised the 
bars ( highway one's about 1cm below the saddle).
As many of you experience, there's a lot of dis- information on the 
internet. One of the statements that I have seen is maximum tire width on a 
Roadeo. It's at least 32 width with fenders. And much bigger without.
Anyway, enjoy your Rivs.

[RBW] Re: Compass Knickers

[Ron Mc]

they don't look that snug in the photos - and agree they look very sharp. 
 Another MUSA knicker fan here - in fact, donning mine for this morning's 
60-degree ride.  Deac, size wise, sounds like you and I may be in the same 
boat.  I bought some surplus Italian army knickers for cheap, claimed to be 
size 36 - wouldn't go past my knees.  They're here if someone with a 33 
waist wants to try them.

[RBW] Re: Compass Knickers

[Garth]

   These look fantastic !   Don't know about the "slim" fit though .  I 
prefer pants loose in the trunk area , no restrictions !  So I doubt these 
would fit the bill.  

For those , if any , that know of the now discontinued Ex Officio Amphi 
pants and shorts ,  the fit of these is sublime.  They are the roomiest of 
all, yet are not baggy at all , the key is the front pleats , which almost 
no one makes anymore except in dress pants. I wear the pants as knee-kers 
all the time , as they have a adjustable hem and just pull 'em up to the 
knees and they stay there.  The "new" Ex Officio Amphi pants and short bear 
no relation to the former ones , the "new" ones are just cookie cutter 
style like most pants.

[RBW] Re: Riv riders in the Denver area?

[Jon Dukeman in the foothills of Colorado]

Preston,
Welcome !! 
There aren't many Riv riders in the Denver area that visit this site.
I live about 30 minutes south of Denver and  most of my rides start around 
the Littleton area . The Carson Nature Center has many options from this 
starting point. What part of Denver do you live?
I ride a Sam that I purchased about a year ago and just started doing 
coffee out and enjoy it very much..
I plan on riding the C-470 /Highline Canal trail this week.. Maybe 
Tuesday.Let me know if you'd like to join me... It's a beautiful dirt/some 
paved trail that snakes from C-470 area up to Hampton Greenwood Villiage.
There are many options from this starting point .
I was thinking Tuesday.
Maybe Brad ( Caffeinated Wheelman) will chime in here also.
Jon

Indeed it is! And yeah, the bike is a bit on the small side for me.

Also, to update: The light has been claimed. Pedals, bike, map holder still

Welcome! I live on Pikes Peak's north slope. If you're ever up for meeting 
for singletrack let me know. I also ride to Deckers and the creeks around 
there, which is a central meet point for some great pavement/dirt/and 
singletrack combo rides. Be warned though, I'm spotty to schedule with 
becaus of my bludgeoned brain's unpredictability, and I ask that you come 
as scent free as possible (we can explore details on that when anything 
concrete gets planned).

[RBW] Re: Compass Switchback on 58 Homer

[Doug Williams]

Thanks Dave! I was planning on the EL Switchbacks since I am loving the 
Babyshoe Pass EL's. I guess 49+mm would be really pushing my clearance. I 
might get away with it without my fenders, but then I think I'll wait until 
the rainy season passes before I try that. I wish that Compass would put 
the tubeless ready bead on the Babyshoe Pass. I suppose that isn't likely 
since they would have to make a new mold.

[RBW] Kojaks, tubeless

[Patrick Moore]

I've just ordered some tubeless 559X34 mm Kojaks from Wiggle (<$32/each
folding, so they claim) and mean to have Fat Tire set these up tubeless on
my new Sun Ringle EQL21 rims. The resident expert predicts success with the
folding model, but declined to attempt with the wire model.

My main reason is to approach the feel and ride of the new, but be-tubed,
Elk Passes, with tires of wider footprint, greater tread life, and of
course much lower cost.

The claimed 300 gram weight of the folding Kojaks, plus 2 oz of sealant,
minus the weight of a 26" X 1" tube at 70 grams or so, should put the new
tires within 50-60 grams of the Elk Pass setup.

Does anyone have comments, experience, advice, or catcalls about my plan?

One other reason for this trial: to spread my tire risk over at least 2
manufacturers.

And also: I have my used but still VG wire bead Kojaks for sale, $35
SHIPPED for the PAIR, CONUS. Tread guaranteed for at least another 2K miles
in the rear, normal wear only, for riders no more than 200 lb, on pavement
and firm dirt -- ie, where I ride them.

Re: [RBW] Re: Compass Knickers

[Lungimsam]

I like roominess and sizing up, too.

Couldn't one buy some wool suit pants at Goodwill, cut them short and sew 
elastic in the hemline?

Get whatever size you need for roominess.

Re: [RBW] Re: Compass Knickers

[Daniel D.]

Looks like riv knows their knicker audience judging by the many fans.  I 
dislike the roominess/bagginess and long length of the musa knickers.  The 
more I'm paying for clothes the more fitted/slim I expect them to be, to a 
point :p.  And knickers should not be "floods"

[RBW] Re: Luxos U or Edelux?

[Zach Duval]

I think that the issue of reliability is my biggest fear in choosing the 
Luxos U, which would otherwise be preferable for the built-in USB output. 
However, the suggestion of increased drag over other USB output options as 
well as the fact that B seems to be doing away with an option for USB 
entirely with their newest light is probably going to steer me toward the 
Edelux II, which is also just a much prettier light.

Now to figure out the best mounting option...

Re: [RBW] Re: Compass Knickers

[Patrick Moore]

I've done almost that with Goodwill woolen dress pants, except that I had a
pro sew them up for me. Cut some 8" below knee (I like plenty of space when
I cinch them just under the knee; don't like them hanging loose); hem;
attach velcro straps; and use excess to line front for additional wind
protection. Velcro is very easy and secure and adjustable, and holds your
socks up better.

They are quite elegant, though since I've lost weight they are a wee bit
loose in the waist. But one advantage of hi rize pants is that you can
cinch them tight (sometimes a wide web belt with cam buckle works better
than narrower and standard buckle) without great discomfort.

For even greater elegance you can taper the bottom, or put in a gusset that
folds inward nicely, a la the Bicycle Fixation knickers. But mine work just
fine.

I have to restrain myself from wearing argyle golf socks and a yellow
sweater vest, but that would be simply too twee.

[RBW] Re: San Francisco to Monterey, via way of Rivendell picnic

[dstein]

Great to meet you for the brief ride over the bridge and again at the 
picnic! Looks like an fun adventure all said and done. I've always wanted 
to ride the coast down to Big Sur and hope to one day. 

Those riders from Alaska to South America are nuts, and inspiring at the 
same time. I remember a blog a while back about a couple with 2 kids who 
did that with trailers on their bikes for the kids, just quit their jobs 
and went. My wife 1000% declined that idea.
