Re: [RBW] Ever tossed a tire because you couldn't find the culprit?

[Clayton.sf]

happened to me too. almost tossed the tire, but instead I rolled it up and put 
it away. two years later I really needed a tire like it on short notice. Pulled 
it out, checked it again, found the offending thorn in 2 minutes and am still 
riding it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

two easy solutions to get them off your wheel:

1. go faster so they can't hang.

2. go slower so they must  pass you.

Either works every time.

I ride an ebike 30mph uphill and passing in the bike lane is ridiculous. I 
either move to the car lane - which I use most of the time at those speeds 
anyway - or slow-the-hell down to pass like a bicycle. There's no excuse for 
the behavior you're describing.

I'll bite, I love pet peeves! Two things I see daily on my commute: 
E-bikes going 30 mph, uphill, in the bike lane.  Great, you have a motorcycle. 
At least give a ding on your way by.  

People who cut the queue but ride more slowly than everyone in it.  If 8 people 
just passed you and then stopped at a traffic light, don't ride to the front of 
the line, please.

Benz,

t's a safety thing and courtesy thing (those might be the same). If someone 
wants to be inches off my wheel, I want to know they are there and that they 
aren't going to take silly risks. I've been so close to being rear ended 
because I got out the saddle to stretch only to find someone running into me.

My feeling is if a person asks first, they have some experience of close riding 
and I feel I can trust them. At least a  call out of "on your wheel" would be 
polite.

I've ridden quite a few brevets and have been pulled along by various strong 
riders, so I'm not against pulling. But the commute home from work isn't 
necessarily the right time for a peloton.

I forgot about the different lever compatibility.  I always hate

the Soma 3 Speed II bar, which is a moustache that fits mtb levers.   I 
want to try that one some day.  It would make your primary grip position 
the straight section, like the choco, but give you a tuck forward position 
for cruising without coming back as far.

No, I don’t have either bars at the moment. If I trimmed the grip area of a 
Choco, the main difference between the two bars would be mtb levers, grips, and 
thumb shifters, vs drop levers, bar end shifters, and bar tape.

I think the combination of top tube length and slack headtube would bring uncut

I have both bars and the ride feel are very different. I don’t think you’re 
going to achieve the feeling of an albastache by cutting back the length of the 
Choco.  I didn’t expect to like the Choco very much but it works well on my JA 
due to the longer length of the top tube. Or at least that is what I attribute 
it to

[RBW] Re: Cutting down grip area of Choco bar?

[iamkeith]

Do you already have the Choco bars?  It seems to me that they're basically 
the same exact bar/function as an Albastache bar, just specifically for 
someone who WANTS it to reach back further.  The albastache is divine.  
Maybe I'm over-simplifying it though.  I never tried the choco because, 
without any additional width, it doesn't appear on paper to offer any other 
benefit.  On the other hand, I actually just added extenders to an 
Albastache because I feel like there's never enough grip length.  It's rare 
that i'd ever want to cut a bar down and give up hand positions, however 
subtle their difference.

Re: [RBW] Re: Thanks Grant

[Jonathan D.]

For what it is worth the issue isn’t done. 

Interesting bit of background from one of my colleagues. As I mentioned below, 
a briefing from the DOJ’s Gene Hamilton this afternoon makes clear what we 
discussed: the Executive Order is illegal on its face. The White House knows 
this. You can’t detain kids for more than 20 days. (Technically, the child 
separation policy isn’t detention. They’re separated from their parents, 
turning them into abandoned kids – “Unaccompanied Minors” – which the 
government then must house.) Hamilton made clear that what happens from here is 
that the administration will begin detaining families intact with a 20 day 
countdown until President Trump blames a court for forcing him to separate 
families again.

[RBW] Cutting down grip area of Choco bar?

['Eamon Nordquist' via RBW Owners Bunch]

I was thinking about trying out some different bars on my old 80’s Trek 
Antelope. Ergon grips have made the original bars (riser bars with a few 
degrees of swep) more comfortable for long rides, but I start wanting more hand 
positions after a while.

I had been considering (and still am) Albastaches, but have also thought about 
Chocos. The only problem with the Chocos is they will come back too far for me. 
I have the short Tektro mtb levers, sunrace shifters, and ergon grips. It seems 
I could fit all if that in much shorter section of bar, while still keeping the 
nice looking curved forward grip section.
Anybody ever cut this section down a bit?

I just read all the posts in this thread and it seems there is more arguing
whether this thread is or isn't about politics, than there is actual
political discussion.

This thread reminds me of the time I stopped by the library (on one of my
Rivendells) and saw a young man on a cheap mountain bike with a backpack
and, peeking cutely from under the flap, a wee little chihuahua, the sub
5lb type. He said that he rode all over the city with her.

[RBW] Re: Thanks Grant

[Adam in Indiana]

Whether or not a person agrees it was appropriate to post this topic on this 
forum, the sharp division this discussion has caused (even to the point of 
certain members being singled/called out/attacked/given attitude, for voicing 
their opinions) is an excellent example of why topics of this nature (doesn't 
necessarily have to be obviously political) are best discussed elsewhere...

As Chris implied above, most, including myself, come here for a refreshing 
getaway from this sort of thing, and while I respect everyone's opinion, and 
largely agree with most, I have not enjoyed this topic.  There is a lot of 
divisiveness and backbiting going on (among other things) and it's sad to see 
that here.

I would assume this is not what Grant wanted when he shared his opinion on the 
blahgh.

Re: [RBW] Re: Thanks Grant

[Drw]

I really don’t understand how this is considered political. Japanese internment 
camps are atrocities now. Maybe they were political when they were happening. 
If your child was taken from you, would that feel political? Or worse, if you 
were a child and had your parents taken away from you, would that be political? 
If brown immigrants are treated one way and white ones another, is that 
politicalor do we call that something else. 

Trump now agrees with us, so the political parties are aligned in the fact that 
this is disgusting, but you have to wonder about the people who didn’t think it 
was disgusting 24hrs ago and why. I would call that political.

I am a member of a closed FaceBook group for people that have Golden Retriever 
puppies from a specific breeder. Yes - controversial Golden puppies.  I just 
came from there to read this forum after one of the members demanded that 
everyone “unfriend” her if they didn’t totally agree with her political views. 
I’m fatigued by the fighting on all fronts.

Re: [RBW] Ever tossed a tire because you couldn't find the culprit?

[EasyRider]

Thanks everyone. The stumper is that I do line up my valves and tire labels to 
better identify flats. It's just that the leak is incredibly slow And I just 
can't find it via submersion to help direct my search of the tire for the 
offending object. I do know that neither the originally punctured tube nor the 
replacement tube that went soft has a valve leak. That was my first guess and I 
stared at both valves under water for 5 minutes! That's when I thought, maybe 
there is a better way to spend my time ...

Re: [RBW] Re: shimano cx-70 canti question

[Paul Brodek]

First off, great resurrection of a 01/2015 thread!

Were the CX70s binding only when the bolt was tightened, or without the
bolt being torqued down?

There are a couple/few reasons for cantis to bind.
1. The bushing inner diameter is too narrow. I don't think that's common.
2. The canti boss outer diameter is oversized. I don't think tt's common
for the overall boss diameter to be oversized, but sometimes the very end
of the boss becomes mushroomed.
3. The canti boss is too short, so the arm binds when the bolt is
tightened.
4. I suppose you could have enough grit between the boss & bushing to cause
binding.
5. What'd I miss?

Re: [RBW] Re: 650b vs 700c wide tite thoughts needed.

[Patrick Moore]

The quality of the wider tire will affect the comfort, apart from any
effect of the greater width. I'm familiar with Paselas -- worthy
inexpensive tires, and not bad -- but I've found that even narrower, but
more supple, tires ride better. My current ~29 mm actual Compass Elk
Passes, for one; these are very noticeably smoother, and faster, at least
to feel; and even the old, very smooth but very skinny Specialized 26 X 1"
Turbo felt smoother at appropriate pressures -- 80/90 psi versus 50-60 for
the Paselas, which were surprisingly sensitive to pressure. These Turbos
measured about 22 or 23 mm on my skinny rims, compared to the ~30-31 of the
labeled-32 non TG Paselas I used.

For the record.

Valves can also leak if the removable valve core is not screwed in tightly 
enough. Cores are often just slightly loose on new tubes. If your new tube 
doesn't have a removable core, then that's not the problem, but you know that.

Re: [RBW] dogs on Rivs

[lambbo]

I do it all the time with my terrier.  She stays on the leash which I hold, 
because she's a hyper dog and in NYC there's lots of stimulation...if she 
jumps out (happened ONCE, but...) I let the leash run through my fingers 
until she hits the ground, so she can't run into traffic.  Mostly it's 
great, she doesn't like high speeds.

Re: [RBW] Ever tossed a tire because you couldn't find the culprit?

[Patrick Moore]

Back when I had to worry about goatheads (thank you so muc,h Orange Seal) I
used to run the pad of my thumb or forefinger along the inside of the
casing, since thorns would often break off on the outside but remain
sticking in on the inside. I'd usually feel what I couldn't see, and saved
myself a world of bother.

BTW, the trick to work these sharp bits out if the tread -- on the outside
-- is to flex the tread between thumb and forefinger; roll the tread from
side to side while you pinch it. That usually gets the little sharp things
to work their way out.

OTOH, if you locate the hole in the tube in reference to the valve, you
ought to be able to identify the general location of the puncturing agent.

Re: [RBW] dogs on Rivs

[Patrick Moore]

I think it work well, as long as the dog is light enough and not too
scampery -- I can imagine the sudden weight shifts as an excited dog
scampers about a large basket.

And yes, some dogs do bail. My then wife and I were very cutely carrying
our 2 young Shi Tzu in a crate on the rear carrier, brother and sister,
both duly strapped in with shortened leashes. The female, always skittish
for that breed, decided it wasn't safe, and dove for the pavement. My wife
yelled, I panicked, we all fell over, almost crushing the bitch who was
hanging by her collar. Fortunately, all ended well.

After that I weighted the dogs down with cinderblocks. But one of those
bungee nets might work as well.

pedaling on the bike, he running) at 15 mph.

Re: [RBW] You like Hetres or Compass 42's better?

[Toshi Takeuchi]

I like paying less money for the Hetres.  I like having more miles with the
"extra" tread on the Hetres.  The Compass has better performance--weighs
less--maybe corners better, but it doesn't matter enough for me to pay that
much more for that.  I paid $118 for 2 Hetre EL tires.  It would have cost
$164 for the Compass Baby Shoe Pass EL tires.

[RBW] FS ||||| Shimano 8/7-speed chains NIB NOS NEW NINE

[David Hallerman]

Hello, hello, hello,

Here are 9 totally new in box never used never installed never cut 
Shimano chains for 8-speed and 7-speed drivetrains. Each chain is 116 
links long. Each of the 9 chain packages includes 2 Shimano attachment pins.


Speaking of packages, I just don't have the time right now to ship 
individually. So, this is a package deal -- all 9 chains for $275, which 
includes free Priority Mail shipping in the CONUS. (I would appreciate 
it if, in return, you could cover the PayPal fee.)


5 - Shimano HG91 chains (Ultegra/Deore XT level)
2 - Shimano Dura-Ace/XTR chains (CN-7401)
1 - Shimano HG90 chain (essentially the same as the HG91s)
1 - Shimano HG70 chain

Two group linked photos here, more available if needed for these 
rare-to-find-as-totally-new chains.


I'm happy to answer any and all questions.

*"Isn't this same fear & hatred of Others what is behind car driver road 
rage against bicyclists?"*

I don't think it's only fear and hatred, it's also arrogance and ownership, 
and expectation of privilege, but I feel the correlation on a personal and 
systemic level. 

   - Some people feel they can shout at me, or buzz me with their car, 
   because I "don't belong" on "their" roads. 
   - Other people feel that they can do anything at all to anyone who 
   "doesn't belong" in "their" neighborhood, country, forum, etc. 
   

Thank you, Grant, for speaking up.

It started off that way but of course specifics are now being

I'm not saying I don't agree with Grant (no idea where you got that, that 
is your poor assumption), but even Grant used his blog, not this forum.
There is a time and a place.

But hey, it's not my forum, I'm just a guest, as are all of you. If this is 
how things are run here, who am I to have a problem with it?
All I can do is offer my opinion on the matter.

Here's my buddy Boston Terrier, Iver.  Out on July 4th parade duties last 
year.  He's typically on the rear, but I didn't make the effort to mount 
one on the Quickbeam, so on the Nitto he went.


As noted already get the dog accustomed being in the carrier then on the 
bike.  Too dangerous to have your friend decide to jump.  Iver gets a body 
harness attached to the crate.

You will wish you had never asked! I have tons of dog-in-the-Wald photos! My 
dog fits in the huge Wald, and is nearly too big but we have never had a 
problem, and we started this in 2012. He has learned how to brace himself over 
bumps, and understands he cannot shift his weight. He has never tried to get 
down. 
I’ll send photos in a separate post (my iPhone won’t cooperate until I do it

Thank you, Grant, for taking a stand on the side of humanity.  Every time 
you do make your views known, I am that much more proud of you and 
Rivendell.  It does take courage, and you set a grand example.  I am also 
gratified by the response of the listers here.  If the separation of 
children from their parents could be considered a "divisive" or 
"acrimonious" topic here, I would need to find a new bicycle forum.  I am 
glad to see that the RBW can come together on this.

i, too, weigh 190 and have a billie bar, and experienced this at the

My Cheviot is a nightmare with weight up front. It had a crooked fork, and 
aligning that helped, but it still is very unstable with a front load.

Well,  I mounted my fenders pretty low, and a lot of the spray seems to come 
from the sides of the finders, but I should try flaps.

Dear Grant, Thank you for your Blahg post.

Isn't this same fear & hatred of Others what is behind car driver road rage 
against bicyclists?

My wife is a proud Rivendell Betty Foy owner, and a Mexican-American, born 
here in the U.S. to parents born here in the U.S. to grandparents born here 
in the U.S. If you go back two or three generations earlier, her ancestors 
were born Mexican. As they say, "We didn't move, the border did!" 

Trump pardoned Sheriff Appaio for his crimes of arresting and incarcerating 
Mexican-American U.S. citizens without cause. Now Trump is separating 
children from parents as a tool of terror.

I am a proud Rivendell Hunqapillar owner, descended from Jews who moved 
here from Germany to make money in the gold & silver rushes of the 19th 
century. They missed the Holocaust, but were terrorized by the huge KKK 
rallies and marches of the 1910's & 1920's, and have denied their ancestry 
ever since.

This administration has expressed views against civil rights, immigrants, 
non-caucasian citizens, women & mixed-race marriages. As Rivendell owners, 
we feel distinctly in the cross-hairs of the agenda of this administration.

If one doesn't want to speak up for human decency, compassion & human 
rights, one should remember the French revolution and the examples of 
authoritarian regimes of the 20th century: innocent or guilty they may come 
for anyone next.

Again, thank you Grant for your gracious words,

John Phillips

[RBW] dogs on Rivs

I'm thinking about carrying a small dog in a Wald basket - I think the dog 
would love it.

I've never tried it. I have two questions. (1) If you carry your dog on 
your bike, and have photos, would you mind sharing? (2) I'm not sure if I
