[RBW] How's your IQ-X light lens holding up.

[lum gim fong]

Thanks. My edeluxII light has never had the awesome beam pattern and brightness 
of the Peter White pictures.  So I'm looking for something brighter and I hear 
this one is brighter.
I find myself straining to see it at night sometimes with my EII.

[RBW] Rear rack for the Hubbuh

[Singlespeed Johnny]

we just built a hubbuh at the shop with honjo fenders and a surly rear rack. 
worked out perfectly.

I've had mine since around November and love it so far. No fogging. But no salt

 I hear they are made of plastic and was wondering if anyone's is fogging over 
yet? That was the dealbreaker for me. The fact that they can fog over because 
they are plastic. Especially wondering for those of you who ride on salted 
roads. Thanks for any info.

[RBW] Rear rack for the Hubbuh

[Daniel Jackson]

I've been striking out on finding a rear rack that is disc compatible and can 
use the poorly designed dropouts of the HH tandem without precluding fender

Anyone have a recommendation?

Thanks,

[RBW] Re: Dyno lights/hub

[Orc]

I don't use a Marks rack, but I'd imagine that you could just run the 
wiring up the DS fork leg, across the crown, then forwards on the fork 
crown stay and the underside of the rack to the light mount.  Ziptied into 
place, or just wrapped around the fork leg, stay, and rack rails.

Re: [RBW] Re: How hot is too hot?

[GAJett]

In hot weather I carry a water bottle for "the outside", dumping it over my 
head and back as I go. 

Dehydration is not the only risk. 
Be aware also for:
* heat exhaustion (clammy skin, sweating profusely; stop, cool off, drink water 
and mild electrolytes, rest) and 
* heat STROKE (hot dry skin, maybe listless; begin ACTIVE cooling and CALL AN 
AMBULANCE!!!)
There are other heat illnesses, but these are the big three. 

Age, fitness level, weight, general heat tolerance, and becoming adapted to 
warm weather all have their contribution. A fit 70-year old near target weight 
who's ridden actively since cool weather will tolerate the heat much better 
than the sedentary overweighy 30-year old getting a first ride in on a "90°/90% 
day. 

Anecdote: Shackelton's crew, left behind for a year in subfreezing weather on 
Elephant Island found the springtime weather just above freezing to be 
"uncomfortably warm". 
Cheers!

Poor photography but here's one example: https://youtu.be/gcX0aSmkEIM?t=26

Curb hopping can be done at a slower speed. It takes some strength to lift 
the wheel, but it's mostly coordinating your weight shift and unloading the 
wheel at the same time. Like any skill, practice helps. I'd suggest finding 
a curb and doing it unweighted until you're comfortable with it, and then 
add the bag.

[REC]

Call all the dealers.  There's a new dealer in NH or Maine.  Perhaps they 
have one?  Look at Riv's web site for dealer listing.

Riv is in business to sell bikes and make people happy.  I think they'd 
have a lot more happy people with another run of Appaloosa's.  Boy, did 
they sell out fast!

[RBW] WTB: Appaloosa 51cm and question about the 46cm size

[drew]

Have you called the riv dealers to see what they have?
Also, I think you shouldn't get the Sam. Sam is a great great bike, but on a 
purchase this big, I'm not a fan of settling for the thing you didn't really 
want.

[RBW] WTB: Appaloosa 51cm and question about the 46cm size

[Joe Bernard]

I'm the same PBH and had a 51 joe (great bike, sold for various financial and 
not-riding-enough reasons). It was perfect for reach-back bars like Albatross, 
and rideable with drops on a short stem jacked way up, although too much of a 
stretch to the lower portion. I'm fairly certain I could ride a 46 with drops, 
if that helps with your decision. 

Or get a Sam. It may be a stretch as a fully loaded touring bike, but it'll be 
fine for average commuter/day-ride loads.

[RBW] WTB: Appaloosa 51cm and question about the 46cm size

[Chris Birkenmaier]

Well I have a 79 pbh and a proportionately longer torso.  I have a 51 Joe and 
would never choose a 46 for myself. The 51 is a very good fit for me with a 
nice amount of seat post showing   In other words the saddle is not slammed 
which I hate the looks of. I did notice for a time period that the 51's were 
showing as available on the website but I knew Rivendell had none actually in 
inventory. That's when I started calling around to dealers to find a 2017 
silver.  Found one at the Wheelhouse in LA so I lucked out. Most available back 
then were some random 2016's

Good luck with your search. Great bike to own!

[RBW] Compass Stampede and Riv JB green

['Tim' via RBW Owners Bunch]

I've ridden both on my Hilsen. I switched from JBs to Stampede Pass and never 
went back (although I went from Stampede Pass to the fatter Barlow Pass.) The 
only drawbacks are that they don't last nearly as long (maybe half the life?), 
thereby being much more expensive per mile, and they are easier to damage, 
especially the supple sidewall. The ride of the Compass is so much better that 
I don't even think about the negatives.

Re: [RBW] Re: Can you Bunny hop a Rivbike?

[Patrick Moore]

I've never bunny hopped a Rivendell, but I recall one day bombing along on
a flat, firm dirt path on my mountain bike, racing someone on a small
motorized dirt bike, and suddenly finding a large hole right in front of
me. I don't know if it was superbe reflexes, or Divine intervention, but
whoop! I bunny hopped it cleanly.

Another instance, closer to home on a roadified '92 XO-1: I was keeping up
with traffic near an intersection on a large urban boulevard, without much
room to maneuver, and found the approaching pavement buckled. I did an
impromptu bunnyhop to the right to clear a pavement ridge. I was impressed
with myself (enough to remember it, apparently, since it was also entirely
impromptu). This one wasn't as life threatening as the hole in the path,
but I saved myself some rough pavement.

The most notable case of bunny hopping I've ever seen, though, was 30+
years ago along the K street corridor in Washington, DC, where bike
messengers were still common. A messenger on a road bike with 20 mm tires
hurtled at speed *directly toward the curb* and without slowing jumped the
curb and tore down the sidewalk. I know that, if I had planned a bunny hop
of that sort, I'd have dangerously flubbed it. Apart from harmless practice
on open road with foot retention and fat, soft tires -- it's not hard to do
in such circumstances -- mine have all been unthinking.

Come to think of it, I wonder if you really need retention; I think it's
much more a trick of weighting the tires heavily and then releasing all
weight on the pedals while, perhaps, lifting the bar. Note that in a real
bunny hop, both wheels come off the ground, not just the front. But I've
never done it except with retention Can anyone correct or confirm?

All my Rivendells are fixies and afaik you can't bunny hop, *strictu sensu*,
unless you can pause pedals while moving. If anyone knows how to bunnyhop
on a fixie, I'd like to hear about it.

Well Steve,

Everyone should take caution when cycling in hot and humid weather, no
matter what age it is.  Dehydration is not notice at first until it is too
late.  Saying that, I have no age in particular but if toleration of
extreme temperature and condition is not tolerated as well as we get older.

I love this question! 
Totally do-able but always much harder with any rear-load (panniers etc.)

Always beware clipping the crank or extra long fenders on tall obstacles 
though - I've ridden off some curbs and had that rear fender clip on the

[RBW] WTB: Appaloosa 51cm and question about the 46cm size

[RJ March]

This is my first post and I have been driven to it by a (mild) desperation. 
Here's the story: I was looking to buy a Riv bike and settled on the Joe 
Appaloosa. I went on the Riv website and was able to purchase a 51cm Hi Ho 
Silver Joe Appaloosa. Amazing! I thought. A week later, I got a call and 
sincere apology from Vince at Riv that this was a glitch in the system and 
they have no more 51cm Appaloosas, at all. Not so amazing, I thought. 

I am now appealing to any of you all - any chance anyone out there wants to 
part ways with their 51cm Appaloosa? 

Alternatively, since my PBH is 79, Riv offered me a 46cm Appaloosa. I think 
it would end up feeling like a pretty small bike. I would love to get in on 
the ride experience of the Appaloosa but not at the expense of fit. I have 
no Riv shops in my area. Has anyone been in a similar situation between the 
46 and 51 Appaloosa? 

I am thinking I will stick with a 51cm size and go with a Sam Hillborne, 
even though I am not a big fan of the caliper brake set up and would be 
somewhat limited on touring - though I read on here that the Sam can haul, 
too.

Re: [RBW] Re: Can you Bunny hop a Rivbike?

[lum gim fong]

 That video was just an example. Most of the time I would bunny hop over a curb 
while riding directly at the curb because there are a lot of Street and trails 
connections where I have to jump over the curb at the end of the street to land 
on the trail like this:

That would certainly make it a lot harder.

Riding flat pedals I can still do a front-then-near curb hop. I can't lift
without being clipped in, but I can still unload the pedals. That way
there's less weight on the bike when the rear wheel bumps up on to the
curb.

But the sort of bunny-hop you showed in the video? I can't figure out how
you'd do it without being clipped in.

Wow! Indeed, that is a bunny-hop up on to a curb. Done with grace and
skill. Geez!

I have often -wanted- to do such a thing, but I've never tried it. I'm
certain it is possible (I can do it on a unicycle) but am dissuaded by the
high cost of failure.

I'd say start by bunny-hopping over a piece of 2x4 lumber or somesuch with
the lumber perpendicular to the bike. Then I'd try "jumping" over a flat
painted line. Once comfortable with that, try jumping over the 2x4 with the
lumber parallel to the bike, sorta like shown in the video. Practice should
do it. Maybe I'll give this a go myself now...

Oh, and it helps to lift with your whole body, not just your arms.
Otherwise you're literally trying to lift yourself!

Like this:
https://youtu.be/Zv97WNg6FMU

 Some routes I ride I always have to stop, get off my bike, stand in the 
street, walk the bike up the curb, remount the bike, and keep riding. I would 
like to be able to just curb hop so I can keep going without dismounting every 
time. Plus it will be fun.

But my bikes feel so heavy I can hardly get the front wheel off the ground for 
a split second before it slams down again. Or maybe I'm just too weak. I don't 
heavily load them. Just the front bag with 5 pounds or less in it.

Howdy,

As my title say's I'm looking for a set of 26x2.3 tires. I have a 1995 18"
Salsa Ala Carte and I have 26x2.1 Thunder Burt's mounted currently but I'd
like to try squeezing in a 2.4 tire. I'm selling it potentially to a friend
but he'd like a wider tire. That said I'd like to keep the cost down as
this is an experiment. I'll obviously pay for shipping.

How hot is too hot? 

Tim : Jul 17 06:50AM -0700

The 5 day forecast here in KC is for mid to upper 90s (94 being the "coolest" 
high temp, 98 being the hottest) with lows of mid to upper 70s, sunny, 50-60% 
humidity and zero chance of rain. Light winds for this area, always out of the 
SW. Kansas City Ultra Cycling has moved the start time for Friday's Belgium Day 
100K ride from 9:00 am to 6:30 am to beat some of the heat.

Personally, there are zero days per year that I consider too hot to ride. I 
sweat like crazy and I seem to hold up to the heat very well, although my 
fitness is not where I'd like and I need to lose weight, so I may not ride the 
Belgian ride, but I'll be on my bike every day, with rides between 15 and at 
least 50 miles. I am, admittedly short on common sense, though.

Anyway, I know it's hot everywhere so how about you guys? I know Riv's don't 
melt because HQ is over 100 degrees quite often. Stay hydrated out there! I'm 
going shopping online for an asbestos chamois!

EasyRider : Jul 17 09:23AM -0700

Here in D.C., we're into our second week of mid-90s with high humidity, so
the heat index has climbed to 100 a few times ... it was 106 last Thursday.
100 is about where I draw the line. Combined with air pollution, a 15 mile
round trip commute downtown in those conditions becomes rather unpleasant,
and probably unhealthy.

A lot depends on where you ride, and specifically on how much shade
there is. I led a ride on that same Thursday in the Brandywine MD area,
and I found it actually pretty comfortable and pleasant most of the
time, except for the two flat tires I had. Here's the route:

Re: [RBW] Re: How hot is too hot?

[Lee Legrand]

EasyRider,

Never taken a ride in 95 degree weather in humidity but I do think, and to
reiterate Ash, make sure you bring water on those rides to stay hydrated
and be prepared to have more breaks.  Younger people can tolerate those
extreme conditions but as you get older, you can less tolerate those
conditions it may be that you should not ride because it is too extreme.
Hot and humid weather conditions on top of your body producing more heat
and perspiration to keep the body cool is not a good combination.

[RBW] Re: Can you Bunny hop a Rivbike?

[Philip Williamson]

I can curb hop easily on my Quickbeam, even with a load in the basket. 
Push down on the handlebars before the curb, then pull up on the handlebars 
while shifting your butt backwards. As soon as the front wheel is up, stand 
up a little straighter on the bike to shift your weight forward and 
unweight the rear wheel so it can climb the curb easily. That's what I do, 
anyway. 

I can't bunny hop without being clipped in, or ride a wheelie in any 
circumstance. I'd like to learn, though!

Re: [RBW] Can you Bunny hop a Rivbike?

[Reed Kennedy]

Sure can! I do all the time. Front load in a basket, often 10 lbs,
sometimes more.

If you can jump while holding your bike you should be able to bunny-hop
while riding your bike given enough practice. Clipless pedals do genuinely
help here.

Do note: A wheelie, a bunny hop, and a curb hop are different things, at
least to me.

A wheelie is lifting only the front of the bike, smoothly, and then
balancing on the back wheel. I never learned that one.
A bunny hop is lifting both wheels simultaneously, generally at moderate to
high speed, to clear a railroad track or branch or something.
A curb hop is generally lifting up one wheel at a time, usually at very low
speed. Front up, pause, rear up when it gets to the curb.

Like I said, I can only do the latter two. They're similar, but they feel
different when I do 'em. Which one is it you're working on?

[RBW] Looking for used set of 26x2.4 tires.

[Hugh Smitham]

Howdy,

As my title say's I'm looking for a set of 26x2.3 tires. I have a 1995 18" 
Salsa Ala Carte and I have 26x2.1 Thunder Burt's mounted currently but I'd 
like to try squeezing in a 2.4 tire. I'm selling it potentially to a friend 
but he'd like a wider tire. That said I'd like to keep the cost down as 
this is an experiment. I'll obviously pay for shipping.

Thanks,

~Hugh

[RBW] Re: How hot is too hot?

[Ash [who works to bike]]

This summer I did 3 longish rides so far on my Appaloosa-  Mt Diablo, Mt. 
Hamilton and yesterday from South Bay area over Santa Cruz mountains to 
coast - 55 miles.   As luck would have it, any day I had any spare time was 
90 degrees plus.  It was quite uncomfortable and difficult, given my lack 
of practice and endurance.  However, I didn't face any trouble during the 
ride or the day after.  I do two things (1) bring extra water and a bottle 
or two of sports drink (2) Take many breaks.  

Some portions of these rides (while climbing, where my speed is  like 4 
miles per hour) I took off the helmet and wore a hiking hat, which helped 
me stay cooler.  My thoughts same as EasyRider: 100 deg might be my cutoff 
point.

 It came with a mount that fits bottle cage bosses.  All three sets of

FWIW, I haven't found one single day this summer to be insufferable or

Personally, there are zero days per year that I consider too hot

well, although my fitness is not where I'd like and I need to lose
weight, so I may not ride the Belgian ride, but I'll be on my bike

admittedly short on common sense, though.

Anyway, I know it's hot everywhere so how about you guys? I know
Riv's don't melt because HQ is over 100 degrees quite often. Stay

[RBW] Re: How hot is too hot?

[EasyRider]

Here in D.C., we're into our second week of mid-90s with high humidity, so 
the heat index has climbed to 100 a few times ... it was 106 last Thursday. 
100 is about where I draw the line. Combined with air pollution, a 15 mile 
round trip commute downtown in those conditions becomes rather unpleasant, 
and probably unhealthy.

[Howard Hatten]

I have the  Pletcher Rack on my 60 Cheviot. The Ortlieb would work fine. If you 
want to come over and see it tomorrow is the only day I'm available. Leaving 
for a 2 week U P tour. You know where I live.

I have the Pletcher on mine and it is fine.  Can't speak to installation as 
I bought it used with it already on.

[RBW] FS Carradice, WI, Vittoria

[Jay in Tel Aviv]

The following items are offered for your kind consideration. All prices include 
shipping:

Carradice Super C saddle bag - well used and well loved, 2 small holes visible 
in pictures below which I hadn't noticed until now, $55
https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/luggage/carradice-super-c-saddlebag-black-23-litre/

Carradice Classic Saddlebag Rack -
Works very well with the above bag providing both support and quick release, 
$30 https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/luggage/carradice-classic-saddlebag-rack/

Special offer - bag and rack together $75 

White Industries 16 tooth fixed gear cog - $32, near new condition, used for 
120 miles. I think this will only work with WI hubs. Generic lock ring free 
with purchase of cog.
http://www.bikeman.com/WIND-18COG16.html

Victoria 37-622 Hypers - 1 NIB $40, 3 used 1 season with plenty of tread left 
$15 each, all 4 tires for $70. These are light,fast tires with very good flat 
protection. Selling in favor of Compass tires waiting for me in New Hampshire. 
Full disclosure - I lost traction and fell on these 2 weeks ago cornering too 
fast. As far as I'm concerned it was my fault in a fit of overconfidence caused 
by finally getting the hang of riding fixed. Details on my earlier post titled 
Road Rash.
http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/TYVIVOHY/vittoria-voyager-hyper-folding-tyre

I took pictures of everything but don't see how to post them, so please ask.

I will be visiting family in New Hampshire next week so whatever sells will 
come with me and ship from 03253 on Thursday July 27th.

Pricing on the used items is based on 50% of new plus shipping, which seems 
fair. I'm open to reasonable offers.

Riv content - all used items have been on my Sam. Proceeds are going to offset 
the cost of a new medium sackville saddlebag.

Jay

[RBW] How hot is too hot?

['Tim' via RBW Owners Bunch]

The 5 day forecast here in KC is for mid to upper 90s (94 being the "coolest" 
high temp, 98 being the hottest) with lows of mid to upper 70s, sunny, 50-60% 
humidity and zero chance of rain. Light winds for this area, always out of the 
SW. Kansas City Ultra Cycling has moved the start time for Friday's Belgium Day 
100K ride from 9:00 am to 6:30 am to beat some of the heat. 

Personally, there are zero days per year that I consider too hot to ride. I 
sweat like crazy and I seem to hold up to the heat very well, although my 
fitness is not where I'd like and I need to lose weight, so I may not ride the 
Belgian ride, but I'll be on my bike every day, with rides between 15 and at 
least 50 miles. I am, admittedly short on common sense, though. 

Anyway, I know it's hot everywhere so how about you guys? I know Riv's don't 
melt because HQ is over 100 degrees quite often. Stay hydrated out there! I'm 
going shopping online for an asbestos chamois!

[RBW] Re: Hunq rider in Kingston NY

['Mark in Beacon' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Not sure. I am a few hours south of Beacon by bicycle so it is not my 
everyday stomping ground. But I was thinking a 45-ish mile loop, maybe 
originating at Bryan's shop, ending at one of the Kingston eateries down by 
the waterfront. Anybody have a route in that area? Bryan, have you explored 
much? Maybe a spin up into the lower Catskills?  If not, happy to host a 
Riv ride from lovely Beacon that could include some dirt, challenging 
climbs, and great French Toast.

[RBW] Re: In praise of Spur-cycles bells

[Bill in Roswell GA]

I just wonder when someone is going to make a real spur bell. You know, 
like with real boot spurs that cow pokes actually use daily (hey, I lived 
in TX and OK for 20 years). Guess I'll pull out my invention sketch 
book.

Indeed, the Crane Karen bell has the most clear, beautiful tone. Cheerful, 
even. I try to ring it a ways out so as not to startle people. 

Cheers,

 Spur Cycle bells are by far the nicest bike bell I've ever seen.  I 
 bought one from Ocean Air Cycles, because Rob Perks is the man, and I was 
 blown away at how nice this bell in.  It's loud and pure and never makes a 
 peep unless you want it to.  I just picked up a second one from a tiny 
 Berkeley Bike Boutique, just because they had it on the shelf, and I like 
 buying local.  Spur Cycle bells are MUSA and they kick butt.  $50 for a 
 bell may seem perverse to frugal riders, but when you can get the very 
 best 
 anything for $50, that's something.
