[RBW] Re: Another Appaloosa Rider

[Jeremy Tavan]

That looks fabulous so far, particularly the stem ornament. I am encouraged 
by the tilt of your choco-moose bars - they're tilted down enough that I 
could see that being genuinely comfortable. The bosco-moose bars my wife's 
Clementine came with make no sense at all, given that you can't adjust the 
angle and they default to a wrist-straining position. How do you like the 
paddle grips on the swept-back bars? 

You don't have a ton of room in back for seat bags, but you could do a 
TrunkSack in back and a basket or moderate bag in front, though how that 
will interact with the cable cluster I'm not sure. Also, such a practical 
bike seems a bit naked without fenders, especially as you appear to live in 
a part of the country that gets rain even in non-El-Niño years.

[RBW] Steerer Tube Honing

[Lungimsam]

My Tech and Tallux stems both "buttomed" out in both my Rivbikes' steerer tubes.

I got a Nitto Pearl stem. Has less rise.
Also, the Tech Deluxe has less rise . 190mm quill, I think.

Re: [RBW] Stolen in East Bay: Grey Saddlesack (large) + brooks B17 saddle (honey)

[Patrick Kelly]

I'm sorta guessing that the reason they took the bag was because it
was attached to the saddle. It's known that you can resell brooks
saddles for actual money, whereas I doubt your off-the-shelf bike
thief would be able to sell a canvas saddle bag. So, I'm guessing that
it was easier to take the bag, than to leave it. I.e., easier to
detach from the bike once the saddle was free, than to detach from the
saddle. Amiright?

[RBW] Steerer Tube Honing

[Frank Conway]

That makes perfect sense.  I just cleaned it up with the hone.  I didn't take 
anything off.  The butted steerer tubes I'd seen previously have been Columbus 
and had helical ridges so when I didn't see them I didn't give it any thought.  
Thanks for the advice!

[RBW] Steerer Tube Honing

[William deRosset]

The steerer is butted and it sounds like you have inserted the stem to the 
transition. The butt is there to reinforce a highly-loaded part of the bike. 
Don't try to turn it down. 

Instead, seek ye a shorter-quill stem.

Best,

waxed, but it was still in new-ish condition. I received the bag 
from Riv without slits cut in the leather bottom to connect it to a rack. 
So, I cut rough slits for this purpose myself. It's wasn't the most elegant 
looking but functional.

[RBW] Steerer Tube Honing

[Frank Conway]

I'm trying to put a fairly long Technomic stem in my Heron and it is only going 
about halfway down the steerer tube.  It didn't seem rusty or anything, but I 
cleaned it up and tried taking a few thousandths off or knocking off any high 
spots with a brake cylinder hone. It's nice and shiny now but to no avail.  
Anyone encounter this before?  If so, how'd you fix it?  

Thanks,

Frank Conway

[RBW] Re: Appaloosa Bullmoose Dirt Tourer

[ian m]

Jonathan,

IMO the porteur rack is far too versatile a rack to limit to only one way 
of use. Ride it bare for those chance days you find a small Weber grill on 
the road or want to pick up a case of beer after a ride. I strap my tent 
and sleeping bag and whatever other large/odd shaped things on it for 
camping. Get a giant basket and attach it with mini-bungees for grocery 
runs or picnics. A waterproof rack bag is essential for rainy days or 
running lots of errands and not wanting to leave things in a basket. Keep 
no way permanent and get the best of all worlds

[RBW] Re: FS: MAP/Ahearne Bar Setup - Albatross - Soma Oxford - Nitto Stems

[David Banzer]

Bump, offering MAP bars on their own now.
 
MAP/Ahearne Bar Setup - 57cm width bar with Shimano mtb Silver brake levers 
for canti/sidepull AND regular cork grips that have been clear shellacked 
(these are slid on with a layer of cotton bar tape underneath, meaning they 
can be gently taken off), these are really nice comfy bars, only selling as 
they're placeholders on my BMC Monster Cross which really is intended for 
drop bars - $65 plus shipping OR $40 shipped for just the bars.
 
Soma Oxford Bar - Albatross clone in polished aluminum, shortened about 
1-1/2 inches, so no longer bar-end shifter compatible - $30 plus shipping

Nitto CT-80 Threadless Chromoly Stem - 11cm, 25.4mm, beautiful 
fillet-brazed stem - 
http://www.benscycle.com/p-2498-nitto-ct-80-chromoly-track-stem.aspx - $65 
shipped - I'll cover shipping

Nitto Technomic Standard Quill Stem - 11cm, 26.0mm, 225mm tall one, seen 
some use, polish it up if you may - $25 plus shipping (this is located in 
WA, so pickup not available on this one, nor shipping combined with other 
items)

Nitto Technomic Deluxe Quill Stem (not tallux, keeping that one instead) - 
12cm, 25.4mm clamp, 190 overall quill height - $50 plus shipping

[RBW] Re: Need Your Advice on Husband's Crazy Clem Idea

[Guil Felix]

Hi Leah! Of the wooden bike boxes I've seen out there, that one is a pretty 
good looking one. I personally would forgo the included mounting hardware 
and get a nice sturdy front rack to mount it on, either using xxl zip ties 
or toe straps. A couple of Riv irish straps couple be a stylish option too.

Jonathan,
IMO the porteur rack is far too versatile a rack to confine to only one method 
of use. Keep a large basket with some mini bungees for grocery runs or carrying 
a pot of food to a potluck, ride with the rack bare for strapping a tent and 
sleeping bag on a camping bag, or for those chance days when you might find a 
small Weber grill on the road or need to pick up a case of beer after a ride. A 
waterproof rack bag is essential for rainy days or when you have a number of 
errands to run and don't want to leave things in a basket.

Check his tires for sizing, the 52cm Clem is likely 650B?

Having an official rack that this straps to looks far 
better/stronger/heartier than those long, untriangulated stays they call 
mounting hardware. It's the way I would go.

He should also be aware that weight on the front will effect handling. He 
may want to strap some weight to his handlebars in a bag and see how he 
likes the ride so he has an idea of what a front rack will do. Obviously, 
this rack/crate will handle differently than a bag strapped to the 
handlebars, but it will put him in the ballpark of understanding.

[Joe Bernard]

Maybe not small zipties, but I just bought some huge heavy-duty ties from Ace 
Hardware which might be strong enough. Toe straps are another thought..they're 
pretty strong and you can pull them very tight. Whichever method you use, I 
agree that mounting the crate on a rack is the way to go.

[RBW] Re: Need Your Advice on Husband's Crazy Clem Idea

[LeahFoy]

You guys are funny. And my husband smiled as I read to him how so many agreed 
he should strap a box to his bike. 

Garth, yes, it is good to let people be individuals, but I'm also a believer in 
playing to one's strengths. When it comes to launching research centers, 
designing the layout and decor for the new office building, and creating and 
implementing economic policies that will bolster and grow Nevada's economy, 
he'll get no interference from me. But when it comes to bikes, anything 
mechanical, or what foods we eat, I'm compelled to step in. *Sly smile here.*

I'm also unsure about the mounting. I wonder if I should just order a rack and 
somehow secure that box to the rack. With what would I do it, though? Not zip 
ties, surely.

[RBW] Re: Need Your Advice on Husband's Crazy Clem Idea

[Minh]

I will not get into the aesthetic (actually i like the wood...) my concern 
is on the mounting, i think a rack would be more secure, never a big fan of 
the stem plates, but think they would work better with a wire rack.

the other thing he may not be thinking about is that the wooden box will be 
heavy, so without anything in it he's adding a few lbs of wood that he'll 
have to lug around!

[RBW] Re: CLEARCOAT o'er baremetal & why we don't do it anymore

[S. Greco]

Going with clear powder is fine so long as you understand that you will 
either paint the bike again in the future, or accept that it *will* rust 
and that you *will* see it. 


I think it is great option if you need a cheaper paint job and don’t want 
to risk filleting out crisp lugwork. Some powder coaters can apply a nice 
thin layer of color powder but it is a gamble and something you should 
definitely discuss with a powder coater before hand. Most things that are 
powdered do not require the level of detail or quality one expects in a 
bicycle paint job.

I had a Serotta that was stripped of its paint, had its front derailleur 
shifter braze-ons ground off to be run as a 1X.  This bike was 
scotchbrighted and then had the Serotta “decals” sandblasted in before 
powdering. Looked cool, didn’t last. Areas where the steel grew rust 
spiders would flake off.





I have a simpleone that had been stripped to add some braze-ons and needed 
to be coated. i blasted it before powder because i’ve been told that the 
tooth which the blasting applies is what insures that the paint adheres. 
i’ve been riding it for 2 years in Rhode Island and it looks the same as 
the day i picked it up from the powder coater. 







I agree that the blasted + powder combo looks boring and depending on the 
frame there can be varying qualities of brazing that you may or may not 
want to see all the time. It also mostly looks like your bike is just 
painted pewter, and there are plenty of nice pewterish grey sparkly paint 
options out there to choose from which will give you a longer lasting, 
better looking, and more predictable paint job.


any scuffs in clear powder look completely wild through polarized 
sunglasses.

Steve,
Thanks for the info.  You did a great job on your Bleriot.  I need to touch up 
my Atlantis.
All the best,

Thanks, Ed!  I don't know if I've seen any Atlantis-colored nail polish, but

Patrick, thanks for the travel tips!  I have not toured Scotland, perhaps one
