[RBW] WTB: Nitto Tallux Stem 26.0 mm - 7 cm

[Reid]

Anyone have one that needs a new home? I'd like to try this stem as it has 
a shorter reach than the one on my AHH, but I'd rather not pay new full 
price as I don't know if it will be "Just Right" until I try it. I'd like 
to limit my losses if it doesn't work out.

Thanks for any help.

Reid

Thanks Eric and Jeremy. I may order an extra for another bike. Even if he 
outgrows the Piccolo in another year, that will still leave me with one 
useful, bombproof rack.

I've never had a bike stolen (knock on wood) but I'm not going to say it's 
mainly because of my unbreakable lock or perfect technique and practices, a 
fair amount is just luck and paranoia. :p

getting it.  I haven't heard tales of woe from chain users but maybe that's

[RBW] Re: How to keep your bike from getting stolen.

[drew]

i think leaving it in a well lit, heavily trafficked or watched location is 
maybe more of a deterrent than most locks. 
but i agree with the u-lock/pitlock or double u-lock technique. heed 
quality too. they aren't all made the same.

ive had to break my bike out of a thick cable and a medium sized chain, and 
even at novice speed, it took less than 45 seconds. never again.  a good 
u-lock will take at least 4 or 5 minutes, and most thieves will never even 
try it, since it requires conspicuous tools and noise.  

the tricky part is saddles, bags and other stuff on the bike.

ive had 2 bikes stolen, 2 wheelsets, a saddlebag and the stuff inside of 
another saddle bag.  i adjusted my technique each time and am just starting 
to feel semi ok walking away from my bikes again.

I would never lock my bike up with anything less than a U-lock. Preferably 2.

Yes and no... depends on where you live... 

The fact is: his Rivendell-to-be will ALWAYS be the most expensive unit in 
any public bike rack. It will ALWAYS be the most beautiful bike in that 
rack as well. 

It's bait of the highest order. 

So why be anxious? Why hope the neighborhood is nice? Every couple of 
months we read the sad tale of some list-reader here who's been hosed using 
low-level security... and it's never U-Locks... it's always cable that 
fails.

[RBW] Re: How to keep your bike from getting stolen.

[David Person]

I agree with Tim's response.  A lot depends on where you live/lock up your 
bike.  You have to decide what's reasonable for where you live remembering 
that you need to carry whatever lock you decide to go with (the more secure 
the lock, the heavier it will be).  I am probably overprotected for where I 
live and carry an ABUS chain lock, mainly because I like the easy of use. 
 I may also take a small U lock to secure the front wheel to the downtube. 
 99% of the time I'd probably be ok with a cable lock, although they are 
not very secure.  But even though I live 45 miles outside of Los Angeles, 
bike are left outside overnight without incident (not my bikes).  So, yeah, 
depends on where you live.

  The only "reason" Leslie the Bombadil would not be listed for the 650B

can still get one. But for the last price of 3k you may as well just make

[RBW] Re: Quickbeam rebuild for light-loaded road touring: your thoughts, experiences & assitance?

[Bill Lindsay]

Good luck with your experimenting.  On my version of a quickbeam I'm 
running two speeds with one chain length.  It's a Gunnar with track ends, 
so I would have to do a brake adjust if I changed the required chain 
length.  I have a DOS 16/19 in back with 35/38 rings in front.  The 38x16 
is about 65 inches, and the 35x19 is about 50 inches.  Here's the 
drivetrain:

and here's the touring setup

Some of the best rides are everyday rides. Doing your errands on a bicycle
makes tedious chores into mini adventures.

Try breakfast burritos for your next fry up:

Pinto beans, cooked until tender but not mushy, on the side, of course.

Re: [RBW] How to keep your bike from getting stolen.

[Patrick Moore]

Tim says it all well. I lock my custom Rivendells up, sometimes, with just
a cheap cable -- but these are at locations where I am *pretty* sure the
bikes would still be outside when I returned even if they had not been
locked.

For other relatively safe but not quite as well known locations, I'll use a
good U lock and a cable, or else a lock and chain consisting of Abus
padlock and towing chain.

For unknown locations, or locations that I know are dangerous, I don't
leave them outside at all. Several local stores are used to having me wheel
my bikes down the aisles.

Re: [RBW] wtb - size 53 Atlantis

[Ryan Fleming]

yeah that's what I think...my custom mixte with pretty much top-shelf parts 
(no racks or bags) but $3500 for the frame alone is just over $6400 US. The 
Atlantis shown is a nice build and the racks are Nitto and expensive, but 
the frameset is $2300 and I don't see enough to justify $4700 in parts and 
labour. I think $3500 is a tad high

Re: [RBW] How to keep your bike from getting stolen.

[Tim Gavin]

Chief-

Where do you intend to lock up your bike?  Is there a lot of crime in the
area?  Do you see lots of other bikes locked up?  Do you see any locked-up
bikes that have been victimized (missing wheels, missing seats, bent and
broken)?

The crime factor makes a big difference in the lock you choose.  I.e, know
your enemy so you can oppose him.  In a high-theft area, anti-theft skewers
and bolts are a good idea (to keep your wheels and saddle), and a strong
lock (or two) is essential.  A strong, heavy lock will resist even power
grinders (for a time), but will weigh a couple pounds.

In a low-theft area, you just need to secure your bike enough so it can't
be walked off by an opportunist.  A light cable lock may be enough.


>From the theft tests I've seen, hardened steel chains with burly links and
high-quality U-locks are both pretty resistant to power grinders and saws.
But, a U-lock can be defeated with a hydraulic bottle jack, so mega-chains
seem to be the most theft-resistant.

[RBW] Re: How to keep your bike from getting stolen.

[Will]

This isn't particularly complicated. You need a 3 pitlock set: both wheels 
and seatpost. Then you need a small U-lock to secure the frame to bikerack, 
etc... 

I bought pitlocks from: http://www.urbanbiketech.com/   Cost = $86

The best U lock is Abus. Get a small one. The thing with Abus U locks is 
that the U bar does not swivel. So a thief needs to cut both sides to nab 
the bike. 

Mine is a Granite Futura Mini. It's light, about 1.5 pounds. Cost = $90

http://www.modernbike.com/abus-granit-futura-mini-u-lock 

Why does this setup work? 

A thief cannot sell a bike that has locked wheel axles (can't fix flats) or 
a seat post than cannot be adjusted. It's simply a non-starter. The Abus U 
is almost bullet proof. The combined  level of deterence is extreme. It is 
well worth $200 to thoroughly secure a $4000 bike. I have an Atlantis. I 
park without fear.

My main concern is it getting stolen while parked outside a store,

(who have the same concerns) can offer?
Im not up on possible new technology, so other than chaining it up to

[RBW] Re: Need your advice on headsets

[Sean on Bike]

Wow, my post gathered some great advice including that from Peter White, 
I'm honored to say. So, I ordered a Velo Orange Grand Cru from our local 
bike shop today which will be an upgrade, just like you recommended 
Michael. The only good thing about repairs is the chance to upgrade, right? 

Thanks everyone, for your great insights. I will attempt to keep the rubber 
side down and wish the same for you.

Peace, Sean

[RBW] Re: Slightly OT; WTB BURLEY PICCOLO

[Jeremy Tavan]

The Moose racks (bought recently) do have a threaded hole in the center for 
the bolt on our (new, not MUSA) Piccolo to attach to. I don't know if the 
old model had a different attachment, but I can confirm that the racks DO 
have a bolt hole.

Mark,

Sounds like a lovely evening; made possible when you run errands by bike. 
The small talk with the woman on her bike, the hello ring to the father and 
son, the use of your muscles to get up the rise, feeling the chill in the 
air...it just wouldn't be the same experience in a car.

Thanks for this.

[RBW] Roadeo 59cm frameset plus extras

[Forrest Meyer]

Let's try $1500 now for frame set (including headset), brakes, and seat post.
Or $1400 for frame set only.
Both options still include shipping in CONUSA.
Still open to reasonable offers. Probably will go to eBay later this month if 
no buyer found on this fine forum. 
Thanks for looking and considering.

>> temps in the high 60-low 70 range. Perfect days to ride. I started out
>> "just" ring the local path out to the river. A nice easy rail to trail
>> grade out and back, right. After getting to the end of it, enjoying the
>> weather, and seeing the minimal elevation dirt trail in front of me, I had
>> to give it a try. At least until it gets bumps (it's all bumpy). Oh what
>> the heck, might as well ride to the end, it's all down-hill from there. Now
>> at the end, I might as well take the dirt trails back home, they're just as
>> down-hill as the streets are!
>> In all, 17 miles with 700 ft of elevation... pretty mellow, but bumpy.

>> Next day, I said I'll take it easy. Just go for a ride with the 13 y.o.
>> Same plan, nice and steady. 25 miles and 1700 ft later...
>>  well, my clavicle is
>> definitely hurting today. D'oh!
>> Not too many pics from Sunday, but sure found the best back yard to hang
>> out in:

>> Have decided I don't care of Albatross bars for long rides. I put them on
>> to take the weight off my arms/shoulder, but instead they force my
>> shoulders up too far, and make me feel like I'm hunched up. Lowering the
>> bars puts too much weight on my hands uncomfortably. Probably back to my
>> Moustache bar stand by...
>>
>> So good times this weekend!
