[RBW] Re: MUSA button down shirts available at RivBike

[Wayne Naha]

I would totally rock that shirt.  Multi-color buttons would actually be 
cool.  But my wife would sock me in the shoulder, hard, if I spent $87.00 
on a shirt.  One shirt!  Man, I don't want to see that face when the bank 
statement comes in.

I got a kick out of this. I really like the illustrations. I don't know if 
Grant did them all--there are several different styles going, but I draw 
like that too (the Sackvilles look like real-life studies). I like this 
kind of comic-y drawings with the little scribbled asides. Anywho, fun 
stuff, in my humble opinion. Happy Thanksgiving fellow Rivendell peoples.

[Philip Williamson]

I dig those buttons. I think my wife would be into it (fashion school). 
It's about time for me to refresh my wardrobe, so maybe I'll find out. 
I have a project queued up to use the Riv stitching awl to put new 
frogs/toggles on my 20 year old duffel coat.

Re: [RBW] Re: Soma Supple Vitesse

['Mark in Beacon' via RBW Owners Bunch]

I like my Vitesse. I have the 700 x 42. Previously this bike had the 
Compass Barlow 38s. I would agree that the Compass ride a little 
better--and room for fenders. For me it is handling. That may be a function 
of the width taking the bike geometries into an area that starts to 
slightly degrade performance. Who knows. Good tire though, and it looks 
nice.

[RBW] Re: Help in selecting a 700C rim for my Appaloosa

['Mark in Beacon' via RBW Owners Bunch]

I have a set of Atlas 650b on my Clementine. They are certainly up to the 
tasks you describe. I've taken them off road, hauled my kid on his Burley 
Picollo, loaded 40-50pds of groceries, etc.  I did hit a massive pothole at 
night at speed that put a dent in the rear, but was able to ride home. I'm 
pretty sure a lesser rim wouId have faired worse. I am also 175. I like the 
classic look. If that's not a big deal, maybe you want the extra width of 
the Cliffs. But it's never been an issue for me.

[RBW] Re: FS: Bleriot 55cm

[Christopher Murray]

I once read but never heard repeated that the  Bleriot name and decals were 
conceived as a travel bike (S maybe?). Rivendell had the art ready to go and 
it ended up on the Riv+QBP bike. It is a good name for a bike but a GREAT name 
for a travel bike. 

Cheers!
Chris

[Joe Bernard]

I'm not an huge fan of the color (although is pretty enough), but I agree about 
the graphics. I love the plane flying through the "Bleriot" decal on the 
downtube, which Grant told me is called a spear. Plus "Bleriot" is just a great 
bike name.

I'll add one more: This is an amazing deal for a shirt made in the USA from
nice Japanese fabric.

Bleriots are cool.
And the metallic paint job and silver parts just light up like diamonds in

I have had a 55, and now a 53.
Nice bikes. One of the coolest decals on a Rivbike ever made. I think 
Bleriots, Ranbouillets, and Salukis have the coolest decal art.

 I grabbed a set from Rivelo here in Portland, and they live on my Hunq

[RBW] WTB: 57 or 59 cm Bleriot

[ChadTrumbo]

Looking for a 57 or 59 cm Bleriot (86 PBH), frame or complete. Im in Ohio 
and willing to travel to pick up if shipping isn't an option. Also would 
entertain the idea of a used Sam or Atlantis (55  Sam) if the price is 
right. Thanks.

[RBW] Re: Have you had a Baker's Cyst?

[rob markwardt]

I got one a few years ago when I was training for a triathlon.  Mine really 
didn't impact biking at all and was only a minor inconvenience when 
running.  I ended up getting mine drained by a doctor right before the 
triathlon and it felt fine but it did come back.  I solved the problem by 
giving up running!

[RBW] FS: Sackville Saddlesack Large Olive

[Eric Norris]

It occurred to me that I’ve had this for more than a year and have only used it 
once. It deserves to go to a new home where it get out in the sun more often.

Used but in excellent condition. Includes the separate, small bag that comes 
with the Saddlesack. Also includes custom corrugated plastic stiffener.

This bag sells for $255 on the Rivendel web site. I’ll ship this one to you for 
$190.

Re: [RBW] Re: Hunqapillar for bikepacking

[Tony DeFilippo]

Patrick I've enjoyed alot of things you've shared over the years but this;

"Framebags do force the use of ultralight gear because they do not carry 
much. You will get all four seasons, sometimes within an hour, on the 
trail. Ultralight gear is wimpy. It will fail, and in circumstances less 
than ideal that pushed it beyond it’s frail capacity. It must be babied to 
last. I carry expedition weight gear for what gear I carry. It allows me to 
be confident and comfortable no matter what. Here’s the basic setup I’ve 
settled on:"

... hit a chord with me.  A very confidant an ringing endorsement for alot 
of the style gear I enjoy as well.I have been appreciating the framebag 
that came on my Jones and contemplating a half frame bag for the Saluki in 
the future but I would struggle to make it my primary bag on most commutes 
and definitely for any ride that involved hauling stuff (even coffee would 
be a challenge though I did see Pondero successfully demo coffee out of a 
half frame bag a month or two ago!)

Mike I love the barsack/wald basket mounting and your approach/offer on 
bike luggaging.

It may be the width of the bar not the length of the sweep. Wider bars 
increase steering response. More twitchy.

Re: [RBW] Re: Hunqapillar for bikepacking

[Tim Gavin]

Or you could change the brake hanger to a fork-crown mounted one
.
That should keep the cable and front bag from interfering.


With a Hunq, I'd recommend a small front rack like the Nitto M12
,
which is cheap (for Nitto) and mounts to the canti posts.  VO's Then you
could use the front bag of your choice.  The Surly Porteur House

is a widely available (and cheaper) option, or there are plenty of options
from wonderful small shops like Ruthworks
, Swift
,
Treetop , Ironweed
.


Personally, I like the Revelate Sweet Roll (and Salty Roll; I have one of
each).  They are versatile to mount (drops, flats, or Jones bars) and
surprisingly capable; I carried a >10lb load (tent, mattress, sleeping bag,
junk) in mine once and the handling was not bad.  I especially like the
accessory pocket to add on the front.

But, I like these Revelate solutions for bikes that lack front mounts, like:

   - my gravel bike (plastic Foundry Auger, which at least has fender
   mounts)
   - or my fat bike (Cannondale Fat CAAD, which has an aluminum fork but
   lacks eyelets).

[RBW] Re: Hunqapillar for bikepacking

[Shoji Takahashi]

Hi Ed,
If you'd really like to use the Sweet Roll (or similar), V-brakes would be 
fine. (V-brakes would require appropriate brake lever.)

Good luck on the trip!

[RBW] Re: Casual Observations on Japanese Metropolitan Area Bike Transportation

[Takashi]

Nice write up, Bob.

I lived in urban Chiba about 10 years ago, and I sometimes met entitled 
cyclists. I often quarreled with them since I refused to yield to such rude 
cyclists.
I now live in rural area of Nagano where I meet very few cyclists, but when 
I visit Tokyo, it seems that cyclists are politer these days than before.

In case you missed, there was a good article in Jan Heine's blog:
https://janheine.wordpress.com/2017/10/28/city-cycling-in-kyoto/

And, if you want to get a Riv step-through, you should definitely do so. 
And post pictures here.

[RBW] Hunqapillar for bikepacking

[Deacon Patrick]

Awesome trip you have planned! Fantastic!

I prefer panniers and have ridden sections the high altitude sections of the 
GDMBR (which is 99% back roads), as well as large sections of the Colorado 
Trail and the Colorado portion of the Divide Trail (mostly single track) and 
ground clearence is a non-issue created by the marketers of frame bags. Think 
about it: if your panniers don’t go lower than your pedals and don’t stick out 
farther than your legs, you’re golden. I crash through gnarly willow and 
bracken overgrown on trails often. I love my hearty Sackville Toursacks (Back 
of Bike Bags now). They don’t care what they rub into. Frame bags are great if 
that’s what you want. They DO keep weight central to the frame, but that is 
close to a non-issue compared with how panniers carry, when properly mounted 
and loaded. For reference I haul up to 80 pounds of groceries at a go and 
bikepack with 50 pounds incl. food and water.

Framebags do force the use of ultralight gear because they do not carry much. 
You will get all four seasons, sometimes within an hour, on the trail. 
Ultralight gear is wimpy. It will fail, and in circumstances less than ideal 
that pushed it beyond it’s frail capacity. It must be babied to last. I carry 
expedition weight gear for what gear I carry. It allows me to be confident and 
comfortable no matter what. Here’s the basic setup I’ve settled on:

Hunqapillar with rear panniers, a saddlebag that leaves room for my tent, 
sleeping bag, and pad on top of the rack. Works brilliantly.

Gear:
Hilleberg Akto Tent
Wiggy’s sleeping bag (either his summer bag with a vapor barrior liner if 
needed, or the heavier zero degree)
Mesh long johns (these allow the use of any insulative layer and are amazingly 
brilliant)
Insulative layer (boiled wool knee socks, flannel shirt, down jacket, boiled 
wool mittens and hat)
Wind/rain layer: ventile
Stove/fuel

The gear I have is all heavier than an ultralight setup. But it handles wind 
rain (horizontal or otherwise), hail, snow, and because I wear minimal clothing 
and bring no extras total weight is quite low.

Things to learn before you come (if you don’t know already):

— food care in bear country
— layering of clothes, what makes it effective and how to manage it wisely.
— wise firebuilding and management (if you are using a firebox) and clearing a 
safe place for your stove.

You can see my set up here:

With abandon,
Patrick

Ed, I rode the Divide with those same Tubus racks on an Ogre and clearance
was hardly ever an issue. Steve

Ground clearance will not be an issue on the GDMBR. The VAST majority of 
the route consists of gravel roads.

[RBW] Re: May be a dumb question but if you've shortened your bars once can you do it again?

[Les Lammers]

Presently, I have a 120mm stem on the 55cm Cheviot that has a 59.5cm 
effective top tube and have not trimmed the bar ends. Using Paul thumbies 
but I will change to the IRD stem mount shifters to clean up the bars. This 
is my first 'upright' bike and the varied hand positions of the Bosco bars 
are working for me. 

What do you mean by twitchy feeling?
