It was a beautiful day for a ride in Shell Ridge of the Diablo Foothills. 

















My Bombadil is still being repaired (paint next, I think) so I took my 
Niner. Larger pictures here, if interested: https://flic.kr/s/aHsmbawSuL

Re: [RBW] Re: Informal poll: Sam Hillborne sizing, 6' tall about an 85PBH?

[John Woo]

Thanks Chris for the advice. 

I’m guessing that you were straddling a 58cm, which has roughly an 85cm 
standover, with 32ish-mm tires. 

Although with shoes on, I’d think you’d be able to at least stand over that 
bike.

Thanks all for the feedback!  Regarding build specs:
 - 58 cm frame.  Bought it 2nd hand, but it's mint.  
- Shimano 10sp group with Dura Ace Bare ends, and 105 RD & FD.  Sugino 
crankset, Shimano BB, Ultegra cassette 12-28
- Wheelset is Velocity Dyads laced to Ultegra 6500 hubs, 36 spokes.  32mm 
Pasellas (hoping to get some Barlow PAss soon) 
- Brooks B17 Honey saddle, Copper Special model, and well aged.  Kalloy 
seatpost
- Brooks bar tape wrapped on Nitto rando bars and Technomic 80mm stem

Frameset is beautiful.   Love the lugs and all the lug details!   Have bars 
set level with the saddle now and it's a really comfortable setup.

[RBW] Re: Informal poll: Sam Hillborne sizing, 6' tall about an 85PBH?

[Christopher Murray]

In 2012 I went to Rivendell with the intent of getting a 56cm Sam. I was in San 
Francisco for business and was hoping to bring it home with me. Waterford was 
making them at the time. I have a 84.75cm PBH and have a 57cm Bleriot, 56cm 
Quickbeam, 55cm Appa. I'd also ridden a 56cm Atlantis and 56cm Ram. Kevin was 
there and he got the bike ready for me and it didn't fit. I couldn't stand 
over the top tube. I went home empty handed. I recently talked to Riv about the 
55.5cm Rosco and Grant said it should fit but couldn't explain why the 56cm Sam 
didn't. The best guess was it was actually a 58cm. I passed on the Rosco 
because I couldn't shake that experience with the Sam. With a 58cm and a PBH of 
85, I'd be concerned about stand over height especially with bigger tires. I 
think the 55cm would be the safe choice.

Good luck!

[RBW] Re: Informal poll: Sam Hillborne sizing, 6' tall about an 85PBH?

[John Bokman]

I would go smaller if running drops. I was in between sizes in 2009, got 
the larger frame (60cm) and wished I'd gotten the smaller (56) because the 
top tube was so long. Even with a short 7 cm stem, it was too long for me, 
although standover was adequate. 7 years later, I got a smaller Sam (58cm) 
and it's perfect. Mind you, this is for a rider who rides with drop bars 
below saddle level. i still prefer the short stem. My legs are long 
relative to my torso.

[RBW] Quickbeam Racking

[Deacon Patrick]

Nathan, how set are you on a front rack vs. rear? You may want to consider a 
light weight rear rack instead. There seems to be a large range of personal 
preference, but the QB seems to have geometry that favors a rear load more than 
a front load, though I’m no expert at that and haven’t tried a front rack on my 
QB as I’m happy with the Mark’s Mini installed on the rear as a bag support. On 
my grocery run today, in/ my saddle bag I carried 4 doz. eggs, 2 lbs butter, 
and TP plus my minimal carry and it handled brilliantly on my jouncy, 
washboarded 5 mile return ride home.

With abandon,
Patrick

[RBW] Re: Quickbeam Racking

[Minh]

Nathan,

If you decide to ignore Bills advice (and to be honest if i had read this 
before thinking about what you are i may have not gone thru with my 
purchase) and try to make it work with the Pauls, I have an M12 and the 
requisite Pauls Adaptor Nuts in my parts box.  I was thinking of doing this 
exact thing, but then i thought thru how i used my QB, and i need/often 
carry way more load then would work on an M12.  

If the load requirements are ok with you, i've seen this done before 
(though not on a QB)

FWIW, i use a Nitto Mini Front  + p-clamps, yes the p-clamps are ugly but 
they work, and it lets me run the giant nitto platrack.  

If you still want to try it, send me a direct message and we can work out a 
deal for the M12 + racknuts.

[RBW] Quickbeam Racking

[Bill Lindsay]

Paul brakes plus their rack adapter are EXTREMELY tall compared to any normal 
brakes. Like maybe two full centimeters tall. That means it can be quite 
difficult to use an off the shelf non adjustable rack like the M12 or M13. My 
advice would be to use Tektro CR720 brakes with and M12 or M13 rack, or get a 
custom rack made for your Paul setup.

I'm excitedly building up a new-to-me green 60cm Quickbeam, purchased from

I'm planning on deploying the classic around town combo: front rack with 
medium Wald basket.

This is an older frame, prior the addition of the mid-stay rack mounts. I'd 
like to avoid p-clamps if possible. Can anyone confirm if the pairing of 
Quickbeam fork + Paul Touring Cantis + Nitto M12/M13 all fit okay? Any 
other options I should consider?

[Doug H.]

I have decided to sell my recently purchased Clem Smith Jr H style Grilver 
52 cm stock build to includes the Pletscher rack pictured. I'll include the 
Clem Pletscher rack but plan to keep the Brooks saddle and sneaker pedals. 
I bought it to commute on but have decided to stick with my Trek 520 for 
that purpose. Less than 50 miles on the bike and it is truly like new. 
Dutch paddle grips with ebaums copper tape.

[RBW] Re: CANTI SAM BUILD

[Jon Dukeman,central Colorado]

Jonathon,
Thanks for the complement.
I have only ridden the canti Sam twice. Obviously the canti Sam is lighter. 
I don't plan on adding any more accessories to the Canti Sam.
I still have the double top tube Sam and it's has everything..front & back 
racks,basket  ,Fenders, Dyno hub, fr.& rear lights.Much heavier.
The canti Sam is set up exactly like the double top tube as far as 
measurements go and seems more responsive.The canti Sam has 44mm tires the 
dbl top tube has 38mm.
They both are comfortable to ride. 
I'll post more later.
You will love your Sam.It will serve you nicely however you want to set it 
up.
If you have questions ask away.
Jon

Good to know about the Reigns; definitely at the top of my list.

Cliffhangers are absolutely bomb proof, and if you run a disc brake you won’t 
have to worry about wearing down the rim surface on the rear.

Make sure you pick a strong, serviceable hub!

Nice bike! I was looking through your photos on Flickr, and noticed you

[RBW] Re: Advice on herd thinning (or, scheming to get another bike)

[Sky Coulter]

Thanks for the suggestion Rich.  I did consider pauls, but I wanted to keep 
it a super easy brake setup.  Mike Varley had an article about brake 
clearances that I cam across ( 
http://blackmtncycles.com/clearance-pt-ii-road-frames/ ) and from the 
images in it, it looked like the shimanos ought to offer adequate clearance 
for 35mm tires. The limiting factor will remain the frame bridges and fork 
crown, I believe.  I think the only way to get fenders on as well will be 
to split them at the brakes/bridges. I did something like this once before 
and am curious to tinker around with it again.  

Really, i should just ride the romulus without fenders, but living in the 
metro vancouver area, well, we get quite a lot of rain.

If you can swing it, Paul centerpulls for your Romulus would give you the

[RBW] Re: Hubbuhubbuh wheels search, a horribly disorganized WTB post.

[Kainalu V.]

Thank you Bill, 
Thank you Garth, 
And Thank you Julian,
That's reassuring. And I just read what Peter White had to say (Thank you 
Peter) about cliffhangers being so strong that 36 holes in them was only 
necessary for tandem applications. So 40 is overkill, and I'm ok with overkill. 
I won't go cheap on the wheels for certainly, and I've got some enthusiastic 
wheel pros in the neighborhood. I could save some money buying the prebuilts 
from velocity, I only wish they optioned 40 hole dynamo hubs, but is there any 
reason not to trust their spoke prepping/initial buildup? Disclosure- I seem to 
magically break stuff, so there's that. Hoping a stoker's good luck might rub 
off...

[RBW] Re: Hubbuhubbuh wheels search, a horribly disorganized WTB post.

[Julian Westerhout]

With a smaller wheel (650b), wide rim, and big tires you will be fine with 
40 hole rear. I agree a good wheel builder is critical. 

We (stoker and I) have put thousands of loaded touring miles on our 40 hole 
650b Hetre shod Bilenky touring tandem, and are happy as clams with the 36 
hole setup on our HHH. For reference -- I'm 6'7", 240 lbs.; stoker is 5'3", 
110 lbs.

[RBW] Hubbuhubbuh wheels search, a horribly disorganized WTB post.

I agree with Bill . 40 is perfectly fine given a competent build by a dedicated 
wheel professional. 

My 2 cents: Don't cheap out on wheels in any way, including how they are built, 
which is just as important as the components. Do it proper the first time.  
Wheel builds are just as important as the frame build.
