[RBW] Re: FS: Pair of Parigi Roubaix Tires BRAND NEW

[Peter Adler]

Just to check: 

   1. If I recall correctly, Parigi-Roubaix was the name Challenge used for 
   their 700x27 tubulars, while Paris-Roubaix was the name for the 
   clincher/"open tubular" version. Or was it the other way around? In any 
   case, Challenge has since changed the branding - now *everything's 
*Paris-Roubaix. 
   So, tubular or clincher?
   2. Black or skinwall?
   3. Yes, they are a bear to install when new, and oversized rims don't 
   help. I'd have installed my set on my Bianchi gofast, if I didn't know that 
   the Ambrosio rims on that bike are an oversized (about 610mm) absolute 
   nightmare for tire installation.

Congrats Matt!  I believe I'm very familiar with that particular Purple-Luki 
and it's a fine bike.  You'll have to report back after a couple rides and do 
in your own impressions of the Saluki!

Horses -- I understand. Fortunately, around here, the soil is sandy and
usually dry, so that while we have plenty of horses, their hoofmarks are
annoying only after rains (and the soil dries very quickly here) when the
surfaces are for a brief while very choppy.

Re: [RBW] Re: The Hubbuhubbuhs are here!

[René Sterental]

Thank you all for the compliments!

I had no idea there was a brown cabling option, but like you, now everyone
in my house is pretty excited with the blue cabling. Let's see how if once
all the cables are run, the effect is the same or it becomes overwhelming.

Can't wait for the rest of the parts to arrive.

Re: [RBW] Re: seeking Rivendell Saluki reviews...and maybe a lead

[Matt Beecher]

It is indeed a Flyer and it takes just a bit out of the bumps.  I probably 
don't need it with those tires, but that was really my only spare saddle.  

It does not give much, but I started using those over a standard B17 when I 
was riding trails shared with horses. Riding over the hoof prints could be 
unpleasant over time, especially if I didn't see them coming.  I typically 
use the flyer on a bike that takes 32mm or smaller tires.

[RBW] FS: Pair of Parigi Roubaix Tires BRAND NEW

[Eric Norris]

Bought these meaning to use them, but they’re a bit too tight of a fit on the 
rims they were supposed to go on. Brand new, never ridden.

These go for about $75 online—I’ll sell the pair for $120 shipped in the CONUS.

[RBW] FS: Pass 'n' Stow rack

[Patrick Shea]

Used, black, comes with a new spare Y-mount. You could spray this rack with
any color you'd like and it would look brand new. That said, it's perfectly
fine, as is.

No wire routing.

$75 plus shipping.

My build is pretty much done.  Those of you who followed on Instagram saw

Anyway, here's the complete bike after my first ride around the block









And here's a shot with my Nitto big front rack installed.  I'm running 
vintage XTR V-Brakes, which strike me as providing AMPLE braking power.  






We're pretty psyched in the Lindsay household.  Bill might be the most

Very nice.

Champion Flyer? Do the springs work for you with drop bars? I tried one and
I thought it didn't "give" enough to make it worthwhile, but this was on a
drop barred mountain bike. Perhaps its time to try one again?

Re: [RBW] Re: The Hubbuhubbuhs are here!

[Julian Westerhout]

René, 

Your build-so-far looks terrific! 

We're going with B17 and Flyer S in honey. I've been looking for cream 
cable housing with no luck (anyone know of any?) -- I would like to match 
the decals, but am considering going with Velo-Orange's brown or perhaps a 
silver.  

I must admit I sort of like the boldness of the blue on yours -- despite 
myself!   :)

Yeah, the first time I saw an orange bike with a tan Brooks saddle I had an
epiphany. They looked so awesome. Until that moment, and still today,
almost every orange frame I see has black parts. It was the same when I saw
the first silver frame with tan saddle and handlebar leather tape. Which is
why my custom is configured that way.

This is certainly an awesome project, and these frames are so cool!

[RBW] Re: seeking Rivendell Saluki reviews...and maybe a lead

[Matt Beecher]

I could not have gotten luckier.  The bike is great.  The seller was 
fantastic to work with...in that he actually delivered the bike to me.  It 
is mostly his build, minus the saddle and pedals.  I don't plan to change 
anything, except maybe adding a pump to the 3rd set of bottle braze-ons. 

Most importantly...the color will be staying, as it is just what I want.  

Ever onward,
Matt

[RBW] Renés orange Hubbuhubbuh

[olofstroh]

With bigger and bigger astonishment have I read all post with praise of orange 
bicycles. Orange is not my choice for a bicycle, let´s put it that way.

But now, looking at Renés tandem. It´s right, it´s even awesome! If it rides 
anything like it´s looks it´ll be a fantastic bike.

Good luck!

Subject: Re: [RBW] Re: The Hubbuhubbuhs are here!

 

Progress photos: 
https://www.flickr.com/photos/orthie251/albums/72157680299609103/with/34450768136/

 

After a long day at work getting, among other things the Betty ready to ship to 
its new home (bittersweet), I came home in the evening and started the build of 
my Hubbuhubbuh. By midnight, I had accomplished everything you can see in the 
photos, where by the way, you can also see the awesome decals it sports.

 

Had not trouble anywhere, except on the installation of the rear disc brake, 
where the rotor I had chosen rubs the Shimano adapter. If the mount on the 
frame was a mm or two more outward, it would have worked perfectly. This is a 
hope rotor that has the new isolation or whatever for the disc rotor, probably 
total overkill for the tandem, but I had it from another project. A standard 
flat rotor won't rub, so I'm getting one of those. No biggie here.

 

The Silver cranks are totally awesome. I had mixed feelings when I ordered them 
based on the photos, but didn't feel like putting it all together from scratch 
with Sugino cranes, and the René Herse I love on my single bikes are just too 
expensive and unjustifiable at this time. But when I took them out of the box 
and installed them, I was blown away. They look fantastic and the guards are 
just so cool. You can see them in the photos.

 

You can also see where I'm planning to place the thumbie for the disc brake, a 
place where it's easy to use yet doesn't get in the way of the hand positions. 
I'm planning to use barend shifters on the tips of the handlebar so I can 
easily shift without potentially compromising the control of the bike, and so I 
keep the handlebars free. Over time, I'll see if the preferences change.

 

The new Bosco treadless handlebar is awesome as you can see. I was planning on 
going with Chocos, but I think it'll stay this way, at least for now. I had 
already purchased the Nitto high rise stem to use with the Chocos, so when the 
new wider sleeved Chocos arrive, I'll get one to have as backup alternative, 
just in case.

 

Had a big family debate regarding the pedal and cabling colors. I think the 
cabling will be blue as shown, white turned out to be too bright and out of 
context, gray is boring and in most of my bikes anyway, so I was concerned the 
blue cables would look too weird, but I think it looks good and my wife and son 
liked them. So we'll see when it's all cabled. Got some blue pedals as well, 
but they don't match the color of the cables and it's just too much, so they're 
going back and will use silver pedals. These Vault pedals are just my favorite. 
Wide, grippy, very comfortable.

 

The saddles are a matching pair of B67 and B67S Select, so I'm hoping my wife 
will love it. If necessary at first, I'll add some padded cover. Rides are 
going to be very short initially anyway. She's quite nervous about it, but I 
told her everything that went wrong would be my fault, and there would be no 
pressure to ride on the street until she's absolutely ready for it, however 
long it takes.

 

The Compass 48mm wide tires look awesome and should ride like that as well, 
based on how all my other Compass tires ride on my bikes. These, however, are 
not the ultra-light, but rather the regular casing version heeding Theo's 
advice at Compass tires. Just in case.

 

The wheels are custom made by Rich using 4-cross (Grant was very impressed) 40 
spokes on White Industries hubs. They look amazing!

 

As much as I would love to finish the build this weekend, I'm still waiting for 
the polished Motolites, which hopefully will ship out next week. I'm taking the 
fork to have the steerer tube cut, as I don't have the special tool to do the 
straight cut and it's not worth getting it as this is not a usual task I do at 
home.

 

Got some special edition set of Carradice tweed roll and Barley bags to put the 
finishing touch on the Hubbuhubbuh when I'm done. My wife approved of them when 
she saw them, and appreciated the fact that I had sold a number of other bags 
during the week, so that was good! Needless to say, had RBW had the SaddleSack 
and tube bags in blue to make a matching set, I'd have gone for those! 

 

Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

[RBW] A Spring Ride with my Girls

[Wayne Naha]

My lovely girls and I went for a nice ride this beautiful spring morning. 
 There were strong and steady head winds and quartering winds, but my stout 
hearted girls did not complain, for there was ice cream waiting for them at 
our destination.  


Here we are in the famous "missing bicyclist" formation.



I let the girls set the pace all the way there.  I told them they would 
'beat' me to the store, and this really added to their motivation.  (Why do 
they have to beat their old man?)


Here we are at the Rodney General Store and gas station, enjoying the 
fruits of our labor.  




In that I am still doing a low card diet, I did forgo the ice cream.  It 
was reward enough to be out with my kiddos on this brilliantly beautiful 
day.  But despite the sun, when the winds blew, it was quite cool, and we 
were under-dressed.  Could have used a windbreak, but I thought our 
activity level would be enough to keep us warm.  It didn't.  Still, ice 
cream fixes most problems.


Traffic was sparse, and thankfully, what traffic there was gave us wide 
berth and were very cautious making their way around us.  This was our 
first foray out onto the highway, and the kids tend to be a little wobbly 
in their steering.



Here we are, home and dry.




Despite having just eaten an ice cream cone, both girls were ravenous upon 
return, and made themselves large ham sandwiches which they then inhaled. 
 I was a mite peckish myself, and ate slices of ham and cheese.



It occurs to me that I have said very little about my Clem here, except to 
complain about the ghost shifting, which seems parsimonious to me.  The 
reality is that it is a wonderful bike to ride.  It goes just as fast as I 
can pedal, and really seems to disappear beneath me.  I am just sitting on 
the saddle, gliding along with the wind in what's left of my hair.  I am 
really grateful that Grant and Rivendell decide to put their energies 
toward the development of this bicycle that produces such glee when ridden.

[RBW] Re: Tires for Joe Appaloosa

[Deacon Patrick]

I ride Barlows on my QB because they are the fattest I can fit. If I had an 
Appaloosa and I wasn't going to use it for much technical single track, I'd 
go with the fattest Compass tires I could get, which depends on wheel size.

With abandon,
Patrick

Re: [RBW] Re: The Hubbuhubbuhs are here!

[René Sterental]

Progress photos:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/orthie251/albums/72157680299609103/with/34450768136/

After a long day at work getting, among other things the Betty ready to
ship to its new home (bittersweet), I came home in the evening and started
the build of my Hubbuhubbuh. By midnight, I had accomplished everything you
can see in the photos, where by the way, you can also see the awesome
decals it sports.

Had not trouble anywhere, except on the installation of the rear disc
brake, where the rotor I had chosen rubs the Shimano adapter. If the mount
on the frame was a mm or two more outward, it would have worked perfectly.
This is a hope rotor that has the new isolation or whatever for the disc
rotor, probably total overkill for the tandem, but I had it from another
project. A standard flat rotor won't rub, so I'm getting one of those. No
biggie here.

The Silver cranks are totally awesome. I had mixed feelings when I ordered
them based on the photos, but didn't feel like putting it all together from
scratch with Sugino cranes, and the René Herse I love on my single bikes
are just too expensive and unjustifiable at this time. But when I took them
out of the box and installed them, I was blown away. They look fantastic
and the guards are just so cool. You can see them in the photos.

You can also see where I'm planning to place the thumbie for the disc
brake, a place where it's easy to use yet doesn't get in the way of the
hand positions. I'm planning to use barend shifters on the tips of the
handlebar so I can easily shift without potentially compromising the
control of the bike, and so I keep the handlebars free. Over time, I'll see
if the preferences change.

The new Bosco treadless handlebar is awesome as you can see. I was planning
on going with Chocos, but I think it'll stay this way, at least for now. I
had already purchased the Nitto high rise stem to use with the Chocos, so
when the new wider sleeved Chocos arrive, I'll get one to have as backup
alternative, just in case.

Had a big family debate regarding the pedal and cabling colors. I think the
cabling will be blue as shown, white turned out to be too bright and out of
context, gray is boring and in most of my bikes anyway, so I was concerned
the blue cables would look too weird, but I think it looks good and my wife
and son liked them. So we'll see when it's all cabled. Got some blue pedals
as well, but they don't match the color of the cables and it's just too
much, so they're going back and will use silver pedals. These Vault pedals
are just my favorite. Wide, grippy, very comfortable.

The saddles are a matching pair of B67 and B67S Select, so I'm hoping my
wife will love it. If necessary at first, I'll add some padded cover. Rides
are going to be very short initially anyway. She's quite nervous about it,
but I told her everything that went wrong would be my fault, and there
would be no pressure to ride on the street until she's absolutely ready for
it, however long it takes.

The Compass 48mm wide tires look awesome and should ride like that as well,
based on how all my other Compass tires ride on my bikes. These, however,
are not the ultra-light, but rather the regular casing version heeding
Theo's advice at Compass tires. Just in case.

The wheels are custom made by Rich using 4-cross (Grant was very impressed)
40 spokes on White Industries hubs. They look amazing!

As much as I would love to finish the build this weekend, I'm still waiting
for the polished Motolites, which hopefully will ship out next week. I'm
taking the fork to have the steerer tube cut, as I don't have the special
tool to do the straight cut and it's not worth getting it as this is not a
usual task I do at home.

Got some special edition set of Carradice tweed roll and Barley bags to put
the finishing touch on the Hubbuhubbuh when I'm done. My wife approved of
them when she saw them, and appreciated the fact that I had sold a number
of other bags during the week, so that was good! Needless to say, had RBW
had the SaddleSack and tube bags in blue to make a matching set, I'd have
gone for those!

Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

René

[RBW] Tires for Joe Appaloosa

[J Imler]

I'm running 50mm Big Bens. Feels right to me. I had the 38mm Little Big Bens on 
for a minute but didn't feel quite as gelled.

[RBW] Tires for Joe Appaloosa

[Jonathan D.]

I was curious what tires folks are running on their Joe Appaloosa. I know the 
Compass Barlows are loved
and was wondering what other tires folks were running. 
I was considering the 38mm Panaracer Pasela Protite. I don't really do gravel 
roads right now and was thinking that could speed up the bike over the stock 
Kenda tires.

[RBW] Rosco or Roadini?

[Jay in Tel Aviv]

I was going to ask if it was better to jump on the blue 58 Rosco Bubbe or 
wait for the Roadini, but it seems that the 58s are sold out. I was king of 
hoping they would put the demo on sale like they did with the green one. Oh 
well. I don't have room for another bike anyway ;-)

[RBW] Re: OTT: 10 speed X Wide Low(2x)?

[Nick Payne]

I'm using a Sugino XD crank with 38/26 chainrings and an 11-speed chain 
(11-40 11s cassette). No problems at all with the chain skating or sticking 
between the chainrings. The only crank on which I've had such problems was 
when using a 10-speed chain and cassette with TA Cyclotouriste crank and 
chainrings, and I fixed that by reducing the thickness of the spacers 
between the chainrings to 3mm.

[RBW] Re: regarding orange bikes

['Mark in Beacon' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Yellow everyone. These lovely bikes are making me green with envy, and a 
bit blue, which of course will not win me any brownie points. I hope my 
purple prose isn't making folks red in the face, but I did want to say that 
I had a choice between orange or black when I bought my Clementine, chose 
the latter because, well, black is the new orange (and Meisha (sp?) gave 
the thumbs up, though it wasn't green). I did have a well-used orange 
Centurion Le Mans for a while that I kept in part for its colorway, and I 
can learn to love any bike color, as long as it is not too new looking, 
though what exactly this means is tinged with shades of gray. Fade to 
black. Orange you glad? Tickled pink, I'd guess.

But seriously, we all know that color is a recognized n+1 category.
