[RBW] Re: Fender suggestions for a 26" wheeled Atlantis

[Bin Chen]

Soma carried 26” hammered Honjo but they’ve been out of stock. I had them on my 
Bridgestone before they got stolen. Is there anywhere else on the net to get 
26” hammered Honjo fenders?

[RBW] Allbird wool shoes? Your experiences?

[lum gim fong]

Anyone rode bikes in these before?
Especially the lounger model?
Are the soles stiff enough to not feel the pedal thru the shoe?

Does the wool hold up well for every day wear and in winter temps?

Thanks for the info.

[RBW] Rambouillet in orange metallic

[Bill in Roswell GA]

I got this back in the summer when I really wasn't looking for another 
bike, but a Riv owner just a couple hours away posted this one for sale. 
I've always loved the orange metallic of the early Rams and when I saw this 
bike was a 54 cm, I had to at least go take a ride. Needless to say I was 
hooked. I took time to acquire the parts I wanted to use, updating with a 
mix of modern and classic. 

https://flic.kr/p/21DiS

Fitted new some new parts to better suit my stable of other bikes and 
parts, namely the drive train. Now fitted with 10 speed Shimano bar end 
shifters, 12-32 Ultegra cassette, XC-70 FD (works just fine on a triple), 
M-952 RD, Sugino Alpina Triple, XT M-8020pedals, Berthoud Aspin saddle, 
Dura Ace seatpost, Nitto stem and bars (105 I think), Cane Creek brake 
levers, Tektro long reach brakes, Nitto rack with Acorn mini Rando bag, HED 
Ardenne rims/DT spokes/Chris King hubs. Soma Vitesse 700x38 tires (meas. 
36.5 mm wide). 

I've done my share of builds over the past 10 years and learned to double 
check that everything would work together, but I was pleasantly surprised 
that it all worked perfectly from the very first ride. This frame rides 
like a dream, gearing totally synced for my cadence from flats to steep 
climbs. It had a nice ride and handling with the stock 8 speed, wheels and 
32 mm tires, but it now blows me away - far more than I expected. I was 
truly surprised, being a bit skeptical by nature. The supple  38 tires 
really do float over rough pavement and gravel without any loss in speed. 
Even up long hills the Ram is only slightly slower than my much lighter 
crabon on the same wheels with 25 mm Conti tires. 

Changing out current bars for Gran Bois Maes as I prefer parallel drops and 
a bit of flare. Will get more photos after Maes bars are installed.

Every bike is a sum of its parts and the Ram evokes a synergy that I could 
live with a long time. Unfortunately, shortly after I finished the build a 
knee issue ensued that has kept me off the bike. Hopefully the knee will 
soon be healed enough to ride again.

Cheers,
Bill in Roswell, GA

Re: [RBW] Re: "We’ll have “classic” single speed frames again...."

[Philip Williamson]

At $150, it’s not a lot more $$$ than any other nice hub. You can build a nice 
wheelset for much less than the $600 for the other wheels you were looking at.
I think it would be quite cool.

Those EN24's look great for a burlier rim and probably fairly inexpensive too, 
but no one seems to carry them. I wonder if they are only supplied to vendors 
of complete bicycles? It would be comforting to see Alex make 584 brake track 
rims available to likes likes of JensonUSA et al.

Re: [RBW] Re: "We’ll have “classic” single speed frames again...."

[Patrick Moore]

Patrick: What did you decide on for your transmission -- AW 3 speed? Please
post photos of new build; I'd like to see how the tires clear the frame.

As for tires: I find that my typical 25 to 40 lb rear load is noticeably
smoother on a 60 psi 29 mm* Elk Pass than on the slightly wider Kojak.
Note: I carried similar loads on 22 mm 559 X "one inch" Specialized Turbos
at 90 psi, and these worked surprisingly well, except that I kept breaking
a spoke on the drive side near the rim. *And* I had to be very careful over
our 4" expansion cracks, which was annoying. Otherwise, the Turbos were
very smooth tires, and fast. I commuted on them for years. It's suppleness,
IME.

[RBW] Re: "We’ll have “classic” single speed frames again...."

[Deacon Patrick]

Plush, wide tires are not only about engine weight, and that may be a 
realitively minor factor within a 60-100 pound range or so. In my experience 
it’s mostly about the roads and trails I ride. The rougher the road or trail, 
the plusher, wider I want my tire. And on the Hunqapillar, it often happens 
that with a load of groceries (60 pounds or so), that the ride is smoother 
because of the weight, because of the tires, than when I ride the same bike, 
same engine, same road, same tires, same pressures, same speeds without the 
extra weight — which I tend to attribute to the Racing Ralphs not being as 
light in the casing as the Compass, and so more weight kicks them into even 
more plush mode.

For comparison’s sake, and so you needn’t talk just to yourself, grin, for the 
same price point my local builder is building Paul hub, Synergy Cliffhanger 36 
hole for my rugged winter/mountain Quickbeam.

With abandon,
Patrick

[RBW] Re: PSA: Who's jonesing for a Legolas?

['Mojo' via RBW Owners Bunch]

I converted my Legolas to low trail with a Tom Matchak fork. I have ridden 
it now mostly in Rando-mode for several years now. I love it.

[RBW] Re: "We’ll have “classic” single speed frames again...."

[Belopsky]

Further me talking to myself.

I will be running 32mm tires at the minimum. As I understand, TB14 would be 
good (I've ridden them this way, it works well). The VO PBP are only 19mm 
wide, not ideal to go with wider tires on that.
TB14 are 23mm wide. Grand Bois has some other rims that are 23mm wide. A 
part of me wants to go 36/36 but there is no need really, I weigh 170 ;)

[RBW] Re: "We’ll have “classic” single speed frames again...."

[Belopsky]

Here's some info for those interested..

GRAN COMPE HUB fixed/free, silver, 32H 16600 yen
Abeille 32H  16000 yen
Dt competition spokes 6400 yen
Wheel assembly fee 6000 yen
The shipping fee to US is about 12000 yen
Total about 57000 yen


So that's about ~$502USD total for a wheelset. Shipping is $105.
Not sure if I want to do this just to get the Grand Bois rims.
The other thought is TB14 rims, Velo Orange PBP, or on the very cheap, 
CR-18 -

Any thoughts? Thank you!

[RBW] Re: Middle of Nowhere Cycling Club

[Nick Payne]

Middle of Nowhere reminds me of what happened on a tour about 35 years ago. 
I was cycling across Australia from Canberra to Perth, and after a couple 
of weeks I'd ridden off the edge of the maps I had, and was just following 
my nose without fussing too much about whether I was going in exactly the 
right direction or how far it was to my next stop. I rode out of the town 
of Mildura one morning, and the road sign at the edge of town said 
"Adelaide 399km". If it had said 401 I probably wouldn't have thought twice 
about it, but as I rode along I started to think "399 is doable in one hit, 
I could probably make that my next stop". Anyway, I got to Renmark shortly 
before sunset, stocked up on food, refilled all my waterbottles, and headed 
off towards Adelaide as it got dark. By about 3am I was feeling pretty 
stuffed, and decided I would stop at the next town - I could see some 
lights a few kilometres ahead. It wasn't until I got to where the lights 
were that I found it was an isolated old garage that for some reason had 
all these lights blazing and a big sign saying "Midla Nowhere".  I carried 
on for a few km until the next roadside rest halt, slept on a concrete 
bench until the sun came up, then carried on and got into Adelaide at about 
lunchtime.

I subsequently found out from the friends I was staying with in Adelaide 
that Midla Nowhere was an artist's studio.
