Re: [RBW] Re: Custom bike

[Toshi Takeuchi]

Hi all,

The screw in the back is a recessed rack mount.  My chainstays are 49 cm
long from the center of the bb to the center of the rear dropout.  I have a
24-38-48 crank with 11-34 cassette.

See you,
Toshi

[RBW] Re: UnRacer community in SLC?

[Jonny P]

SLC has a very underrated cycling scene. Sure, there are plenty of Tour of 
Utah types, but I miss living at the south end of Salt Lake County, 
honestly. I helped direct the Provo branch of the Bicycle Collective while 
in my undergrad studies. I loved it there. My dearest friends -- many 
Riv/Bridgestone types all were from the Collective. Most of us have moved 
to the coasts now 

Every Monday night in Provo there is a very unRacer style ride. It usually 
involves a slow pace up a nearby canyon or on country roads out to the 
mountains on the west side of Utah Lake. 

Salt Lake has the 999 ride that had a Hilsen and Hunqapillar present the 
last time I rode with the group (Oct 2017). We rode up City Creek Canyon, 
shared some beverages, then a smaller group of us stuck around and rode for 
Tacos near the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon. 

Saturday Cycles is the only traditional LBS I am aware of that will meet 
what you're looking for. However, I have friends who work a Bingham Cyclery 
as managers/mechanics who are Riv folk. The Big S customers just help more 
to pay the bills, I suppose?

[RBW] Re: Clicking Brooks sprung saddle question

[Chris Birkenmaier]

I have Flyers and B67's and each one seem to develop noises of some sort 
over time. And they never seem to get completely corrected.  Although I 
live with them I have gravitated toward non-sprung saddles on my bikes.  
Less weighty and no squeaks.

[RBW] Re: UnRacer community in SLC?

[Scott McLain]

You definitely need to visit Saturday Cycles off 600 North.  They can get 
you in touch with the UnRacer activites happening in SLC.  Provo and SLC 
have very good bike collectives that are fun to visit.  I like taking the 
train up and ride around the city, catch lunch in sugarhouse, stop at 
Trader Joe's and head home.  If you live in the city, you can take the 
train down the Lehi and then get on the Murdoch canal trail and ride it all 
the way up Provo Canyon... very nice ride.  Feel free to contact me offline 
if you like for more ride info.

I had this same problem with a B67.I tried the various tightening

[RBW] Re: Clicking Brooks sprung saddle question

[EasyRider]

If memory serves, my Brooks Flyer has two pairs of rails, leading from the 
top and bottom of each spring to the nose of the saddle. I want to remember 
that they come close to touching near the nose, and in my case, rubbed 
against one another while pedaling. I wiped some bearing grease on the 
rails in those places places and it went away. My memory could be faulty, 
but if you see rub marks on the rails near the nose, that's where I'd put a 
little bit of grease.

[RBW] Re: Clicking Brooks sprung saddle question

['Mark in Beacon' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Sounds like two metal parts are passing each other. Try lubing up around 
the tension bolt in the front. Could also be where the springs end/begin, 
but careful what you use there--I've had the spring bolt start to unwind if 
things are made too slippery. Might want to try a combo of loctite and some 
grease. As others have said though, unless you get real lucky, squeaks and 
creaks and clicks will appear and disappear with sprung saddles. With the 
big sprung VO on my Clementine, I look at it as an audio component 
contributing to the overall vibe.

Re: [RBW] Re: NYC Century on Cheviot

['Mark in Beacon' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Hi Steve, et al. Here is a ride that starts and ends about 3 minutes ride 
from the train station in Cold Spring. A good portion of this ride is on 
beautiful dirt roads, including Lane Gate, Indian Brook, Old Albany Post, 
Long Hill, Old Forge, parts of Wiccoppee, and East Mountain South (the up 
part in this direction.) I sometimes throw in the super steep Sunrise Hill 
climb, which puts the total elevation gain, according to Mapmyride, at just 
about 6,000 feet in just over 40 miles.

[RBW] Re: NYC Century on Cheviot

['Mark in Beacon' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Awesome. One hundred miles is a lot to do without "training," but as you 
have shown, it's not impossible! And by making the mental shift from 
"training" to "just riding"  your attention stays completely on the ride at 
hand. My experience has been that if most of your riding is "training" for 
some event in the future, it can get a little tyrannical. 

In terms of the braking, one possibility is you picked up something on your 
rims that decreased effectiveness. Re: air pressure. Not sure what size 
Compass you are running, but even at 200 plus, 60 psi is probably way 
overkill if they are Switchbacks (48mm). If they were rideable at 25, I 
would say try another 10-15 in back and 5-10 in front. Too much pressure 
and you lose some of the major benefits of wide rubber.

There is lots of great riding up the Hudson River a bit. Beacon is just 
over an hour from Grand Central on the train. The stop just before is Cold 
Spring, with easy access to miles and miles of great dirt roads. PM me if 
you'd like a route suggestion or two.

[RBW] Re: NYC Century on Cheviot

[John G.]

Congrats!

I drove up to the Botanical Gardens with my wife's family on Sunday, and 
saw a good number of Century riders. I spotted two Hillbornes, and I *think* I 
saw a Road custom. 

Looked like a blast. The crowds have kept me away, but every year, I regret 
not doing it.

You need to put a chainguard where your big ring was to stop the chain from

Re: [RBW] Re: WTB 54 Rambouillet

[lum gim fong]

650b brake setup:
Tektro  R559 sidepulls with Kool-Stop Thinline pads with Grand Bois 32 hole 
rims just barely reach on 650b. Synergy rims add a much needed extra mm of 
braking surface.

700c brake setup:
I had Tektro R539's with A23 rims.
Perfect brake reach for 700c.

Lug lining:
Original owner had a pro custom car/motorcycle(?)  painter do it.

Makes me want to do it on my Bleriot it looks so nice!

[RBW] NYC Century on Cheviot

Nice report!! Congrats!!
No training! Thats how its supposed to be. Commutin' should count for something!
I dont like training either. Just riding for fun.

How many days a week do you commute?
How many miles each commute?
Week?

I mostly seem to be in back on centuries. The last guy to finish. The later 
rest stops closing as I arrive.
Everyone passes me. I am slow.
