[Dave Redmon]

Minh, is that Minouri rear triangle kickstand all aluminum? Does it have a 
model number? Is the rod length fixed or adjustable? Did you use it for long? 
What are its pros and cons? How much with shipping to 66502?

[RBW] Re: Canti Sam Hillborne: No Cable Hangers

[Grant @ Rivendell]

We have cable hangers, diff kinds front and rear..it's just (now) one of 
the things you pick. When we included short adjustables, people wanted long 
ones, and vice versa. So now you just get the one you want, you plunk out 
$10 or whatever it is, and everybody happy, unless you think it should be 
included. (We'll trade one for your bottom bracket, ha. And seat post ha 
and headset, and all those rack boss and bottle boss bolts, which so many 
frames don't come with, ha. Ha.)
V vs Canti
They both WORK. V-brakes have a rep for being harder to modulate, but 
modulation is in the hand muscles and brain waves, not the lever. It's like 
saying "power brakes make me skid." You get used to them quick. I used to 
dis V-brakes, but then...man, it's really hard to once you've used them in 
stressy downhills. I like the looks of cantilevers, and I'd go with cantis 
on Sams or 42mm tires or smaller (or thereabouts, it's not a hard line). 
But for fatties, V's. Not hands down, but yes, they'd be my first. And 
they're so easy to ... deal with, in the way that you deal with brakes. 
The new Dia-Compe cantis and the Shimano CX-50, and Paul's are all good, 
too. 

The rear cable hanger absence: It makes sense to HAVE it if you use 
cantilevers, but if you have V-brakes it goes unused, and since Nitto makes 
such great little cable hangers. I think the tiny rear NITTO hangers are 
some of the neatest things NITTO makes. They put so much work into such 
small parts and make them look so good. I'm not winning any of these 
arguments, but they aren't winnable on either side. It's just a style 
thing, and all options are good!

[RBW] PSA: 58 Betty Foy (Craigslist-Wisconsin)

[Joe Bernard]

I wouldn't sell it with the claim that no expense was spared to outfit it with 
a standard Riv build. I probably wouldn't BS people with "it's well worth the 
asking price", either. Just tell me what the bike is and what you want for it, 
I'll decide if I think it's worth it. Sheesh!

[RBW] FS: Nigel Smythe saddlebag, medium?

[Joe Bernard]

Just got this from Ebay advertised as near-new and looks it. Also advertised as 
large which is either incorrect, or I'm just used to gigantic Sackvilles now. 
It looked grey in the ad, but is actually tan and I shoulda just bought a 
grid-grey Large SaddleSack from Riv instead of messing with this. 

So let's call it medium, the one pic with flash shows the tan, that's what it 
looks like live in color. I paid $165 all in so that's what I'm asking as a 
shipped price to you. Or best offer!

Re: [RBW] GDMBR with Adventure Cycling

[Deacon Patrick]

Excellent bike, excellent kit, and excellent advventure plan, Bill! I’ve ridden 
the southern 200+ miles of the Great Divide MTB trail in Colorado. It was my 
first bigger trip with my Hunqapillar and we had a blast! I found my 50mm 
Schwalbe Duremes a stiff ride and doing it again would ride a bigger, less 
stiff tire. What that might be would depend on what I wanted in flat protection 
(I’d likely go with Orange Sealant in my tubes and ride my ThunderBurt 1.2” 
liteskins). I also learned since then that a lighter, tighter load is much 
easier to ride all day, day in day out. Fatigue from intangables is greatly 
reduced when bike handling is lighter and tighter. The trick, of course, is to 
bring what you need and only two things you don’t. Grin. I also found I prefer 
my front wheel free of gear, which makes weighting and unweighting it as needed 
in nclimbs and descents far easier, as well as LCG (lowest common gear). Feel 
free to holler off group if you have any questions.

With abandon,
Patrick

Excellent! Great bike. Have fun.-Original Message-
From: Bill Schairer 
Sent: May 11, 2018 3:49 PM
To: RBW Owners Bunch 
Subject: [RBW] GDMBR with Adventure Cycling




Just received final confirmation (on my 65th birthday) from AC that our tour from Banff to Whitefish on the GDMBR is officially a go. I have been excitedly prepping myself and my Atlantis for this adventure. Hanging from the frame will be:

Bruce Gordon front and rear racks
VO decaleur front rack
3 cheapo/clearance water bottle cages from Nashbar
B17 saddle, very well broken in and so comfortable
Sugino triple 46/36/24
Shimano A530 pedals (spd one side, platform the other)
Suntour Cyclone FD
Suntour VGT RD
Suntour bar-end friction shifters
Shimano HG-400-9 12-36 cassette
Crane Creek brake levers on Specialized 40mm drop bars (swapped from stoker position on tandem for Albastache)
Shimano cantilever brakes
Deore LX 32/36 hubs laced by RL to Velocity Synergy 700C rims
Schwalbe Mondial 50mm tires (measure at 47-48 @ 40 psi on the Velocity rims)

I’ve decided against fenders because clearance is so tight, I am not sure I can fit them in the bike box, it will simplify break down and reassembly (which I’ll be doing myself), and it will reduce toe overlap. I may decide to borrow 40 hole, White Industries, Velocity Dyad front wheel from tandem but probably not. I’ll box the bike myself in a Bikeflights cardboard box and check for $25 on Alaskan Airlines.
May opt for a smaller water bottle on the bottom - that’s pretty tight. 40+ year old Kirtland handlebar bag, Beckman front and rear panniers. I suspect there will be some modifications yet as I ride and fiddle. Certainly, this is no UL rig but I can and have lifted it over obstacles as much as 2 ft high.  Maybe I'll be lucky and get a "whatever it takes" comment.
I have plenty of touring experience but do not have a lot of off-pavement experience. I have been doing some practicing here in San Diego to try to get ready. I have successfully taken this unloaded up a about half-mile 15-22% gravel grade but only made it up about half way on my one and only loaded attempt. Pushing the rest of the way was no picnic. I will try again doubtlessly. I’m a little concerned about climbs like this at altitude but one way or another, I’ll manage. Interestingly (to me), I’ve found riding loaded on gravel is easier for me (except for steepest grades) than unloaded. I don’t have to concentrate so much on keeping my weight back or worry about lifting the front wheel. The load also seems to smooth out the rough a bit and the ride feels more stable to me. It is harder to correct my line if I lose it though, especially climbing.

As excited as I am, my wife is a bit peeved as I start on her birthday. I’ve tried to explain that this is when the tour is offered so there really wasn’t any choice and I’m getting to the point in life where I have to stop dreaming of doing these things and just do them.

Oh, and other RBW content, MUSA pants will double as my off bike pants and rain/wind pants. My wife even gave me another pair for my birthday because she knows I like them so much. Sorry for the length of post but I’m excited!Unloaded and loaded (projected) attached?

[RBW] Re: How to free up an RBW bottle nozzle that is stuck???

[Garth]

I am not picturing the bottle so I cannot say other than throw the top in 
the dishwasher if you have one. 

Otherwise, bottles that have the squeeze valve like Camelback Podium and 
the SBI Purist are very nice. They never leak and all you do is open your 
mouth and squeeze, no mouth contact ever needed.

Are you sure the nozzle is not locked? Check the underside of the cap and 
make sure it is twisted all the way open.

[RBW] Re: Is the Surly Bridge Club a Disc-braked Hunqapillar?

[Christopher Cote]

Nicely done. Glad to see I'm not the only one that obsesses over geometry 
charts. Now if that frame had a 72 degree STA, I'd be really, really 
interested. But then, the reach or front-center would be compromised...

[RBW] Re: Is the Surly Bridge Club a Disc-braked Hunqapillar?

[Bill Lindsay]

Christopher Cote asked how I did the math and which size is Large in my 
book.  

I'm calling the 53cm a Large.  I thought I picked that up from Mike's blog 
posts earlier.  Maybe I made it up.  53cm.  I came up with the front center 
number just using math.  You don't need fork length because you have stack 
and drop.  Here's the math, step by step (I round to the nearest mm at each 
step here just so it's less confusing)

1. define a coordinate system with the BB center at (0mm,0mm)
2. the Stack and reach define a point at the top of the head tube center 
(391,614)
3. Walk down to the bottom of the head tube because he gives you head tube 
length and head tube angle (447,443)
4. From that point at 3, there are two vectors that make the fork.  There's 
the effective length along the head tube angle and there's the offset 
perpendicular to the head tube angle.  The offset and head tube angle 
you've got, and you know you have to end up at a point that intersects the 
line at y=bb drop (73mm).  Solve for fork length and you get 408mm for the 
effective length along the head tube angle.  
5. The resulting x,y coordinates of the front hub are (630,73) for a Front 
center of 634mm
6. Email Mike Varley to check your calculations, and get it straight from 
his BikeCad drawing that it's 634.6mm.  :)

Mike's BikeCAD drawing has the fork length as 395mm but you'd have to add 
in a headset lower thickness.  My treatment above does an effective fork 
length measured from the bottom of the head tube.  So my fork length 
includes the headset lower.

I just checked the frame sheet for the Bridge Club and it says 100mm spaced, 
9mm axle front hub.

What frame size are you calling a large? How did you come up with the front 
center number? I'd think you'd also need the fork length, which I don't see.

[RBW] Re: Is the Surly Bridge Club a Disc-braked Hunqapillar?

[Christopher Cote]

Bill, just a SWAG based on the reach, HTA, and fork offset. Front center or 
wheelbase aren't posted, so I don't know for sure. Anything less than 620mm for 
front center will likely give me TO. I'd be looking at a 53cm Road+. I don't 
think I could be free of TO on any drop-bar designed bike in my size, unless it 
had 26" wheels.

Hi all, just starting the process of culling the closet, drop me a line if 
you’re interested in anything,  I’m in the Washington DC area.

All prices below are before shipping--if you want something please send me 
a message with your zipcode and i will calculate totals.  if you buy more 
than one item then i will combine shipping as best as i can, there is a 
photoset here -> https://goo.gl/photos/9NfCPWYZ6BJEL13f6

If you want more photos of an item, please let me know.   If you want to 
make me an offer I won’t be offended, but don’t be offended if i don’t 
reply.   Please send all messages privately.

For payment, i accept either Google Pay (preferred) or PayPal.  I will 
leave it up to you based on your comfort level on the type of paypal to use.

And a few terms to keep in mind.  

   - 
   
   Send an email directly to work out terms, posting a reply does not 
   reserve an item.  I will not be able to reply to everyone, but i will

   that someone beat you to it.
   - 
   
   If you ask me for a total w/ shipping calculated, please let me know 
   promptly whether you still want the item.  It’s not fair to me or the rest

   with it being sold to someone else who’s ready to buy.
   - 
   
   After we agree on terms, i will send you an invoice, i expect/give you 
   24 hours to send payment (unless other arrangements are made).  Then i will

   may be delayed up to a week (ships on the weekend).  I will let you know at 
   time of payment, if getting the item is time critical, please bring this up 
   before payment.
   


Prices do not include shipping (I will charge you actual USPS

are to me.  Please email me directly with any questions, if you’re reading 
via a smart-phone, you may need to switch to the desktop version (link at

Brooks Challenge Tool Saddle Bag, Black,

This is the small leather tool bag, i picked this up second hand and one of 
the bolts had come undone on one of the straps, i replaced it with a nut 
and bolt, you can see the bolt on the inside.  There is some scratches and 
wear on the leather, it could use a good polish. The straps are a little 
crunchy and stretched out, but it still feels like it will hold.

Baggins Handlebar Bag: 

I believe this is the pre-cursor to the hobo bag, it looks a little smaller 
then a true hobo bag and the pockets on the front are different, this one 
has 1 big pocket instead of two separate ones on the front, with a single 
flap.   Some light grease stains on the bottom where it got close to the 
tire (looks worst in pics). Otherwise in very good condition, the leather 
is still really dark. You can use this without a rack or decaleur (and i 
don’t think using a rack would actually help) the bag sways as you 
pedal--but there are d-rings on the corners in the front where you could 
secure it with some twine, will work with drop bars the best.  You can get 
this to work with alba and moustache bars but it will require some creative 
arrangements with twine to the brake levers to secure it.

Shimano LX V-Brake, 

Single v-brake (1 wheel), the pads are nearly worn down so you’ll need to

link-wire is not original, i can sub in a dia-compe style straddle carrier 
if you prefer. i do not have any additional spacers, you may need these 
depending on the canti stud spacing for your bike.

Shimano Barend Pods Only w/washers: 

The washers have tabs, which may or may not work with your shifters, worst 
case  you can grind

than one item then i will combine shipping as best as i can, there is a 
photoset here -> https://goo.gl/photos/9NfCPWYZ6BJEL13f6

If you want more photos of an item, please let me know.   If you want to 
make me an offer I won’t be offended, but don’t be offended if i don’t 
reply.   Please send all messages privately.

For payment, i accept either Google Pay (preferred) or PayPal.  I will 
leave it up to you based on your comfort level on the type of paypal to use.

And a few terms to keep in mind.  

   - 
   
   Send an email directly to work out terms, posting a reply does not 
   reserve an item.  I will not be able to reply to everyone, but i will 
   update the post once something sells.  If i don’t get back to you, assume 
   that someone beat you to it.
   - 
   
   If you ask me for a total w/ shipping calculated, please let me know 
   promptly whether you still want the item.  It’s not fair to me or the rest 
   of the list to delay, if you need more time to decide ask for it, but be ok 
   with it being sold to someone else who’s ready to buy.
   - 
   
   After we agree on terms, i will send you an invoice, i expect/give you 
   24 hours to send payment (unless other arrangements are made).  Then i will 
   go-on to the next person.
   - 
   
   Normally i ship within 1-2 days, however if i’m travelling for work it 
   may be delayed up to a week (ships on the weekend).  I will let you know at 
   time of payment, if getting the item is time critical, please bring this up 
   before payment.
   


Prices do not include shipping (I will charge you actual USPS 
shipping)--I’m on the east coast so shipping will be less the closer you 
are to me.  Please email me directly with any questions, if you’re reading 
via a smart-phone, you may need to switch to the desktop version (link at 
the bottom of your browser), to reply directly.

Brooks Challenge Tool Saddle Bag, Black,

This is the small leather tool bag, i picked this up second hand and one of 
the bolts had come undone on one of the straps, i replaced it with a nut 
and bolt, you can see the bolt on the inside.  There is some scratches and 
wear on the leather, it could use a good polish. The straps are a little 
crunchy and stretched out, but it still feels like it will hold.

Baggins Handlebar Bag: 

I believe this is the pre-cursor to the hobo bag, it looks a little smaller 
then a true hobo bag and the pockets on the front are different, this one 
has 1 big pocket instead of two separate ones on the front, with a single 
flap.   Some light grease stains on the bottom where it got close to the 
tire (looks worst in pics). Otherwise in very good condition, the leather 
is still really dark. You can use this without a rack or decaleur (and i 
don’t think using a rack would actually help) the bag sways as you 
pedal--but there are d-rings on the corners in the front where you could 
secure it with some twine, will work with drop bars the best.  You can get 
this to work with alba and moustache bars but it will require some creative 
arrangements with twine to the brake levers to secure it.

---

Shimano LX V-Brake, 

Single v-brake (1 wheel), the pads are nearly worn down so you’ll need to 
replace soon, no pics but will take some if you really need them.

Shimano CX-70 Canti brake:

1 wheels worth of brake, pads look new and brake is in VG condition.  The 
link-wire is not original, i can sub in a dia-compe style straddle carrier 
if you prefer.

Shimano Barend Pods Only w/washers: 

The washers have tabs, which may or may not work with your shifters, worst 
case  you can grind off the tabs

Shimano Barend Pods No washers: 

Either order some regular square washers from Riv to use non-shimano 
shifters OR

Order some

Re: [RBW] Re: Rivendell Reader PDF Archives

[Grant @ Rivendell]

THere was a Zero, mailed in December, a warm yellow color and a few pages 
saying something like, "Not sure this will work, but .." It was mailed to 
3,900 Bridgestone Owners Bunch (BOB) members--kind of the precursor to our 
current customer/mailing list. In the last year of Bstone, lots of the fun 
good stuff there was sitting unsold bc bike dealers didn't want it (wool 
jerseys, XO-1's..) and rather than discount it below cost to clear the 
shelves, I suggested we sell it direct to people who did want it. So BOB 
was formed, with a newsletter called the BOB Gazette. It went on for a year 
or so, we sold bike stuff, The Song of Hiawatha, and the last of the 
world's professional grade horsehide baseballs, and other stuff. When 
Bstone announce closing down, I asked for the BOB mailing list, the 3,900, 
as part of my going away package (I'd copied it on a floppy just in 
case...), and boss said Yes, and that's how it went.

[RBW] Re: PSA: Tall 63cm A. Homer Hilsen FS on Hudson Valley CL

[ctbiker]

 

FS: AHH - 63cm


I am selling my A Homer Hilsen which I purchased from a forum member in 
2010. It has had very little use.  The bike has probably been ridden less 
than 1000 miles.  It is in very good condition, showing some beausage. This 
bike has been replaced by a custom Bruce Gordon.


Parts list:

63cm AHH Frame & fork

Sugino crankset (46-36-24) 175 crank arms

9 speed 11-32 rear cassette

Rivendell Silver barend shifters

Silver brakes

Schwalbe Kojak (35mm) tires showing next to no wear (AHH designed for 32mm 
to 43mm tires)

SRAM brake levers

Shimano Deore XT front derailleur

Shimano Deore LX Rapid Rise (low normal) rear derailleur

40 spoke (blue) Velocity Dyad rims

Planet Bike fenders

3 water bottle braze ons (Toyo built)

NO pedals

NO saddle

SN: AH0219


I am asking $1,400 plus actual boxing/shipping (Bikeflights).  I will have 
the bike packed and boxed by a local bike shop. You could also pick up the 
bike in the Norwich, CT area (half way between NYC and Boston). 


Pictures at https://www.flickr.com/photos/fosses/albums/72157646524496555  
I have a 92 pbh and the saddle height as shown fits me. 

Let me know if you have questions.


Thanks,

Ray

[RBW] Re: Canti Sam Hillborne: No Cable Hangers

[Garth]

I recall when Riv sold v-brakes in the past and they passed on and 
disappeared until recently with the Clem and mega long chainstays and 60mm 
tires. 

I wanted to try them way back when but the cable pull issue killed it for me. I 
ride with reverse levers and no one makes them for v's. Travel agents to me 
seem like a bad idea the way they bend cables. 

I also find long mtb pads to be overkill and they don't clear frames. On my 
post canti pads I cut off the ends of kool-stop pads to make them road size. 

I'm so familiar with canti brakes setting them up, regardless of the style to 
me is an "art" in that it's all intuitive, it just happens. Such is Life .


Myself I would contact Riv regarding questions such as "where's the cable 
stops"... I'm sure they be happy to share and chat. Riv may have their 
preferences as we all do, but they are preferences and no more or less, not 
dictations. Universality is the Way of Life. 


The Sam page does send a mixed message as the pics show some frames with a 
front stop, some without. It is something that could be added to the print to 
state specifically that if you use canti, you'll need cable stops like "these", 
and have them hyperlinked.
