Those levers look like a basic/good/not-expensive Tektro set I had a couple 
years ago. They had adjustable leverage for v or canti brakes..I'm pretty sure 
I got them from Riv.

I got the Trico IronCase off of Craigslist. The buckles are busted and it needs

Re: [RBW] Is it possible to 'lengthen' cable housing?

[Tim Gavin]

Jagwire also makes end-to-end couplings for both shift and brake housings.

But the inline adjuster is also a good idea.

Re: [RBW] Is it possible to 'lengthen' cable housing?

[Scott Blouke]

This is exactly what I did when I changed to a VO Cigne stem on a bike it 
make the brake lines just too tight so I cut the old housing so the inline 
adjusters were in a good spot then added new housing from the inline 
adjuster to the housing stops worked perfectly.
I need to do this on another bike but it has full length housing runs so I 
might just add two adjusters one by the brake and one by the lever and put 
a longer piece of housing at the brake end.

Re: [RBW] Something French

[Eric Norris]

I see some of the features of this bike—a sturdy but light lugged steel frame, 
racks for carrying small loads, fenders, wider tires (Singer designed mostly 
around 700x28, not wide by Rivendell standards but wider than most “racing” 
bikes of the 70s, 80s, etc.), longish wheelbase—and see a direct line to 
today’s Rivs. Rivendell doesn’t build to quite the same level of detail, but 
the idea of a beautiful machine that you can ride for the rest of your life is 
definitely there.

Singer’s constructeur, Ernest Czuka 
(https://janheine.wordpress.com/2012/12/22/people-who-have-inspired-us-ernest-csuka/
 
),
 is also notable for carrying the torch for fine framebuilding (along with a 
handful of other French constructeurs) through decades of lean times. Walk 
around the American Handbuilt Bicycle Show and you’ll see dozens of builders 
following in his footsteps—every fine, purpose-built bicycle today exists in 
part because of the influence of the French constructeurs.

P.S. Yes, I love my Singers!

[RBW] Re: Sam Hillborn

[G.E. of EVL]

Late to the party... however, I just wanted to say that I've had my Sam for 
7 years now and can't imagine not having it. It's been set up with drop 
bars and albatross bars. It's had racks and bags galore, and I've had it 
stripped down to ride a bit faster. It handles well both while carrying 
items and riding it more as a road bike (it's not quite capable of racing 
speeds - but that was never its intention). The size I have is no longer 
made (so, hopefully, nothing every happens to it!), and it has 650b wheels 
because it was a small size. As a female, I have struggled a bit with the 
long top tube (Initially, I had an 8cm stem that was too long and ended up 
with a 5cm stem in order to make it ride-able comfortably for me, but the 
super short stem comes with its own kinks). I guess my bit of advice might 
be to test ride, if you can, first. Since Riv sizes by PBH, sometimes (in 
my opinion) a person can end up on a larger frame than s/he really wants or 
is comfortable riding. I've put thousands of miles on my Sam though, so 
obviously, it's hard for me to find too many negatives. I'll put it this 
way, of my current bicycles, if I was forced to have just one bike, the Sam 
H would be the one I'd keep. 

Good luck to you in your search for a retirement bicycle! I would 
definitely consider the Sam Hillborne as a possibility.

[RBW] Decisions, Decisions... Too few? Too many? Just right??

[Bob Lovejoy]

Sorry if this would seem to be off topic, though hopefully it is not, but 
Grant, in another post stated, and I hesitate to quote but it was a point I 
totally agree with and think about.

"...The bike MARKET is super crowded, and it leads to dozens of categories 
and aberants and variety...and on one hand it's cool that bikes really can 
travel motorlessly over more terrain--that's one of the good things, 
although I'm not talking about eFat bikes penetrating the wilderness when i 
say "good"--but it also leads to overspecialization with too many 
categories, and then new riders go shopping and ask for bikes by category 
and not by this is how I'm gonna use it"


Not that I am anything more than a participant and supporter in the world 
of bikes, but it makes me a little crazy when I hear of sagging bike sales, 
at least here in the U.S., maybe worldwide.  Bikes sales should be growing! 
 And the more bikes out there, the better the world might be... 

Anyway, I was just listening to a Ted Talks podcast, maybe the latest 
( 
http://www.npr.org/programs/ted-radio-hour/519264798/decisions-decisions-decisions
 
) and a researcher, Sheena Iyengar, was talking about an experiment she did 
with displaying and selling jars of jam at a fancy grocery. 

To cut it short, they displayed 24 different jars of jam for sampling and 
selling... 60% of the people stopped to look and sample but only 3% (of the 
60%) bought.
When they displayed only 6 different jars of jam, only 40% of the people 
stopped, but 30% (of the 40%) bought.

Not that there are any great answers to the dilemma, but I do believe the 
bike industry has, in a race to the end, fallen into the trap.  I tell 
people these days, trying to sound enthusiastic and positive, that there 
are now bikes for almost every conceivable circumstance.  And there is no 
argument (from me) that that is a truly bad thing.  Still, Sheena calls it 
a "choice overload problem" and I think that's a very real effect.

With that, I do think Rivendell has approached the problem well!  They 
might have bikes that overlap in function but they span different price 
ranges and, in this world, that is a necessity.  And each and every one of 
the bikes is designed to be ridden, enjoyed, bring a smile.

I have not listened to the entire podcast just yet, and don't know if it's 
fully recommended, but that part of the discussion (16:00-18:00 in) made me 
think.

[RBW] OT: Update on ECHS Mountain Bike Racing Team (some Riv content, plus begging for donations)

[Bill Lindsay]

Many of you know I'm the volunteer team mechanic for El Cerrito High School 
Mountain Bike Racing Team.  I have a son at ECHS, but he's a swimmer.  I 
volunteered for the team almost entirely for me.  So far, it's one of the 
better things I've done for myself.  We race in the Norcal High School 
Cycling League, in the Southern Division.  We are one of six D1 teams, and 
by far the smallest.  D1 is dominated by Salinas High School, who regularly 
field ~40 riders, while we field ~15.  

Last weekend was our second race of the season and our team's best 
performance ever.  The race course was adjacent to Laguna Seca Raceway in 
Monterrey, CA.  Our EC Gauchos won three races (JV Boys, JV Girls, and Soph 
Boys) and we got two second place medals and a fourth.  We placed second in 
the team competition behind Salinas, but beat both of our East Bay Rivals 
Berkeley and Albany.  We also hold a strong second place in the season-long 
team overall competition.  It's a big challenge for our small team because 
you use your top 8 finishers to make your team score.  When you only field 
15 riders, going 8 deep is tough.  

My weekend had several highlights.  I solo-camped out at Laguna Seca Friday 
night, and the evening was so warm and dry that I didn't even have to use 
my rainfly.  I enjoyed a very pleasant coffee outside on Saturday morning. 
 Being on site gave me plenty of time to do a lap on the very challenging 
race course.  Grant would possibly approve that I underbiked with no 
shocks, but would undoubtedly disapprove at how much crabon I was running. 
 Besides personal stuff a couple of our kids dug incredibly deep and had 
best ever results.  Being around their energy has been a sort of fountain 
of youth experience for me.  

Sadly, during the offseason, our team trailer was stolen.  So we've been 
renting a U-Haul for each of these race weekends.  We have an opportunity 
to buy a used trailer now, but are quite short on funds.  If you feel like 
helping out a terrific group of kids with ANY amount, please check out our 
GoFundMe below.  Thanks

[RBW] Re: Appaloosa Vs Clem Smith

[Richard Rios]

Hi,

I'll chime in here, as I was in a somewhat similar situation only I test road 
the appa and bought a clem blind after doing so. I feel that the appa's ride 
was a bit snappier overall it felt to me a bit more roadish. Clem in the other 
hand I would characterize as a bit more stable perhaps leaning a hair more 
towards rough stuff. I'd put any notion of clem being strictly commuterish to 
the side. Yes Clem would make a great commuter but it really is an all rounder 
like any Riv. Truth be told I instantly loved the feeling of the appa and when 
I first road the Clem not so much. But the more time I have spent aboard Clem 
the more I have grown to LOVE it. I intend to do a full write up at some point 
but will share a few impressions here. Clem is smooth and stable,but not slow. 
Slow is relative but for the type of bike / non race bike Clem scoots along 
nicely. Put the hammer down and clem responds surprisingly well. Clem is a 
rambling bike for riding like when you were a kid. Pack a bag lunch and some 
Capri sun and set off exploring for the day. Clem is great on any "road" 
surface and really shines on non technical fire trails.  Clem is perfect for a 
front rack and basket.The bike really is a home run in so many ways. all that 
said I have a few nits to pick. The sunrace shifters and I have yet to make 
good friends. The little clicks that sometimes put you in gear perfectly and 
sometimes not are...well less than ideal. I would have like to seen the 52cm 
size come with 58cm boscos. for some reason the 55s felt to narrow to me. I'm 
pretty medium at 5' 9" 170ish. lastly the little rubber seals / dust caps on 
the hubs have taken some fiddeling with to stop squeaking. Again all minor 
things. I think either way you go you won't be dissapointed. might want to ask 
yourself if the lugs are worth it to you or not. also I feel a bit more at ease 
using clem then my other more expensive Rivs but that's just me as I grew up 
during the everything needs to stay in mint condition baseball card hoarding 
80s /90s ears and that has kinda stuck with me. Hope that helps some. Again I 
really enjoy clem and can whole heartedly recommend it owing / having had owned 
a numer of other Rivs. Ride wise you will be missing nothing if you buy a clem 
except for the lugs of course. 


best
Richard

[RBW] Re: Appaloosa Vs Clem Smith

[Garth]

Umm,  the differences are not so much in the frames but in what you want, 
and that you are undecided of what you want.  I see no "class" of Rivendell 
frames, no matter who builds them or how much you pay.  Heck, a frame is a 
frame, a bike is a bike, ride it or not rather simple really.

In the Atlantis now redundant? thread; 
 https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rbw-owners-bunch/FS3F8Q7M86g
Grant replied and gives a pretty good account of the Appalosa vs Atlantis.
There is this thread as well. 
 https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rbw-owners-bunch/JhACFv-ugvA
My take on them is they are pretty similar and both excellent.
If I had most of a build in my parts bin I think I would spring for the 
Appa frame otherwise I would get the Clem complete.

[RBW] Re: Appaloosa Vs Clem Smith

[Philip Kim]

Hi, I went through the same dilemma and test rode both.

Clem - is longer stretched out, heavier tube gauging, hunqapillar fork, 
more tire clearance

Appalosa - a bit less stretched out (not by much), i believe a bit lighter 
tube gauging, atlantis-heavy fork, smaller tire clearances

I would say the Clem rode more stately - almost like a fast MTB cruiser (i 
loved it), and the appaloosa rode more like a traditional road touring 
bike, but kind of a cruiser

I ended up going with the appaloosa, mostly due to sizing options, and the 
fact I don't do too much off-roading anymore. i plan to run 27.5x2s on my 
appaloosa and 27.5x2.1s knobbies for more dirt stuff.

[RBW] Appaloosa Vs Clem Smith

[Davey Two Shoes]

Hello Everyone! 
I'm new here, but my love of Rivendells is not!
I'm getting ready to get my first Riv and its likely to be a Clemy or an 
Appaloosa. I have ridden a Clem and I enjoyed it quite a bit, I have not 
rode an Appaloosa. Lugwork and aesthetics aside what are the real 
differences between the two bikes? They seem pretty similar to each other 
with their long geometry and wheel configurations. I understand the Clem is 
meant to be more of an everyday commuter and the Appaloosa more of a 
tourer, but is this just waxing poetic? What I'm really asking about, I 
guess, is the difference in ride character between the two bikes, or are 
they akin to an entry level vs fully loaded version of the same vehicle.

Thanks guys!
Dave

[RBW] WTB Nitto (Pearl) 9cm

[nathaniel nichols]

Finally building my orange Toyo riv Rambo (are they all toyo?) and looking for 
a Nitto 9cm stem preferably NP/Pearl or dynamic in 26.0. Is there any diff in 
angles on those nittos? I know the Jaguar looks very aero but I'm still not 
sure about the others.

Basically I don't need the ultra long quill either, it's a "60cm" frame and my 
pbh is 86. I like the looks of Pearl/dynamic and I'm aware that they apparently 
measure a tad longer than other stems.

Also still deciding on either 8spd campy chorus brifters I have lying around, 
paired with campy open pro ano wheelset, or bar ends. Possibly looking for a 
shimano wheels set too, max 32h. Going 7,8 or 9 speed. Haven't worked out all 
the details so lemme know what ya got!

What bike did you have this on? I'm going to be building up a 56cm 650B 
Atlantis and I'm not sure what the wheel specs are since it's basically a 
new Riv design.

[gabe mcgann]

Max S,

Interested: Gran Compe Ene front rack, mounts to Dia Compe and Weinmann 
centerpull brake, NEW in bag, $25 

Do they only mount to the centerpull brakes or could they be mounted on my 
Sam with cantilevers?
If that is the case I am no longer interested.  :)

Thanks
Gabe
