It’s a sin for YOU to be gay.
I can be gay and married to a man all day long and live a a happy non-murdered 
non-shamed non-whatever life because my happiness does not depend on you or 
your asinine god. Loki and Ganesh are equally irrelevant to me. You are a 
Pharisee. Your power does not come from love, it comes from telling people to 
do like you.

Floor living. Nose breathing. Slow riding. Whatever works to mollify your mind 
must be best for everyone. If someone gets impaled on a tree while riding 
faster than you can ride, your takeaway is that he’s a figure of fun for 
advising people to wear their body armor, instead of changing his behavior to 
be like yours. 

You learn to ride fixed. It helps your brain, as people told you it would. Two 
weeks later, you are a proselyte for it, and an expert in all its nuances. I 
see how you are with bicycles, and I see how you are with “faith.” It ain’t 
faith. It’s religion. It’s you.

If mentioning my queer brothers and sisters as if I value them makes you 
squirm, good. I love them. You, I tolerate, as long as you stick to bicycles. 
You do not. Far beyond this thread, you make your distaste and superciliousness 
clear. You speak in coded language about coded language, and now people are 
speaking plainly. I am speaking plainly.

You came here. You are uncomfortable with the culture that exists here. The 
people you choose to associate with have a set of beliefs that are repugnant to 
you. You wish they would remain silent, so that you might be comfortable, but 
you do not extend them the same courtesy. 

You claim divine authority for your postition, since you are a “Deacon” in the 
“Catholic Church.” Your faith informs your beliefs. No idea what that means. My 
nuts inform my briefs. You’re going to Southern Baptist hell, I’m going to your 
hell, and none of you self righteous jerks save it for the afterlife. You need 
to make your hell here on Earth, with yourselves as the demons. 

I am surprised to find that you make your point, and I am convinced. We DO need

We are united, independent, and dependent. I love Patrick, who isn't gay,
as much as I love my brother-in-law who is.
I feel bad for my role in the bickering, but not for saying what I said.
I'm sad that good people are growling over it, but happy to see so many
nice comments, too. Everybody's got a point and a position, and we're
exposing more of ourselves than we have before, me  included in that. There
have been cancelled orders, big ones, and there may be more, that's how it
goes and it's no surprise. But there has been some good, too, and a few
cancelled orders are pale consequences, historically, to speaking up or
taking a stand on some of these things. I'm not being hanged or stoned,
thank...goodness.

I'm going to let it run thru mid-day Sunday, and then I'll put up something
about bicycles---which, as important as they are, are not as important as
people...although they always go along and get along with you.

I'd like to invite anybody who wants to let off stem to do it to me

I'll try to avoid these topics in future BLAHGs, but if I promise to, I'd

I’m a tourer/camper and have chocomoose bars on a SH and an old Trek 950. I 
love them. I get three good grips fur sure, but the normal grip is very comfy 
so I rarely switch it up. They are my favorite bars so far. Mildly agressive 
but super comfortable. The bullmoose version feels (obviously) really solid; 
great for any trails or rough stuff. I can’t say how they compare to drops 
though, it’s been years since I rode drops.

[RBW] Re: Quickbeam Serial Number Sticker?

2018-07-04 Thread iamkeith
I just looked at mine (first run green).  It actually has a serial number, 
but it's very hard to read under the paint.  It's oriented the same 
direction as the 'rivendell' cast letters, and on the opposite side next to 
the drive-side bb cup.   Look hard and see if you can find it.

I also looked at my Rambouillet which uses the exact same bb shell, and 
it's serial number is rotated the more common 90 degrees (parallel to the 
bb axle) and uses larger and slightly deeper character/digit stampings.
 Makes sense I guess, that panasonic and toyo would use their own method.  
Of all the details Rivendell has to oversee and coordinate, I'd suspect 
that's at the bottom of the list of preference priority.

Re: [RBW] Thanks Grant

2018-07-04 Thread 'Deacon Patrick' via RBW Owners Bunch
Dear Eamon,

Seriously? You’re are missing my point. However, I’ll explain it as an example.

Why is “For blacks, women, and gays, there were no 'good old days” 
controversial? Two things.

First, on the face of it, it dismisses myriad success and contributions and 
lives of blacks and women throughout history, therefore statement itself is 
absurd and while an exageration to make a point, only focuses on victimhood 
within realitively recent history based on values from within the bubble 
imposed upon that history. Many Saints throughout Church history were black and 
other races, as well as women, and I suspect all of they would speak of 
delightful days of wild wonder and abundance. Jesus was Palestinian, as were 
Holy Mary and Joseph.

Second, it creates a yet to be agreed upon equivelancy between rights of a 
lifestyle seen as sinful by many (it’s not sinful to be gay, but to act on it 
is), and race, gender and religious rights. Hard to claim ignorance on this 
one, for the baker and florist cases recently heard by the Supreme Court make 
them currently known. These two people gave very good, millenia old religious 
reasons for refusing to participate in creating works of expression for what 
their relegion and beliefs tell them is not possible: a wedding between anyone 
other than one man and one woman. They offered referrals to other businesses 
that could care for them. They were respectful and upheld their human dignity 
in how they interacted with them. That is, through the eyes of my faith, a very 
different thing from not providing a cake or flowers because of the race(s) of 
the man and woman getting married (that is discrimination). For most people, it 
is not a sin to be black and get married, but for many people it is not 
possible to be man and man or woman and woman and get married. To do so is a 
farce and a sin. Is this understanding and belief of marriage hateful? Hateful 
of sin, yes. Hateful of the persons? No. Believe it or not, it loves (and 
challenges) the persons involved, as God’s revealed truth always does. Marriage 
is foundational to society. How we define it matters. To act as if it has been 
redefined by all “enlightened” people is disingenuious.

You needn’t agree with anything I’ve said above to see that statements such as 
these presume or reference things that are not actually settled outside the 
“bubble,” and are thus controversial. However, many here are in the “bubble” 
and thus can’t even see it, and see anyone outside is as unenlightened, or 
intolerant. That’s part of the problem with the “bubble”: it’s so tolerant that 
it’s intolerant. This thread is an excellent example of that.

Unless a new topic comes up, I am out of this thread. Celebrate as you see fit. 

With abandon,
Patrick

2018-07-04 Thread John Aydelotte
I have resisted wading into this morass thus far but can no longer do so.

Patrick:  If 1. Tolerance for gender identities which don't match your own, 
 2. Supporting women's rights to choose what happens to 
their own bodies, & 
 3. Social programs for those less fortunate than we 
...are controversial, I submit that your (possibly religious) world-view is 
seriously out of whack.  When being kind to others, respecting the 
self-determination of others to decide their own identity, and helping 
those in need are "controversial" you have strayed so far from Jesus' 
teaching that I wonder if you can claim to be a christian any longer.

Grant was correct - there is not much controversial in his post - he has 
opinions (which not all have to agree with) but your retort was so loaded 
with IN-tolerance for being kind to and respecting others that it offended 
me deeply.

Is this your religious view speaking?  If so I urge you to seriously 
examine your view of the world as it fits into the tenets of your faith.  
If not, please illuminate me.

[RBW] Quickbeam Serial Number Sticker?

2018-07-04 Thread christian poppell
Hi all,

Went to record my serial number on a Quickbeam and noticed the number was 
printed on a sticker and not stamped into the bottom bracket shell. Anyone else 
have this on other models? Have you done anything to permanently mark the 
number into the frame? Seems too easy to remove the sticker if the bike were to 
be stolen. 

Thanks,

Thanks, all! Aye, Jon. It takes some searching to find them, and they are 
smaller than most years so far. It was funny, I wished a group of women hiking 
a “Happy Independence Day!” as I climbed, they lamented the lack of fireworks, 
and I said, “You got all kinds of fireworks on your hike.” They looked at me 
quizzically, I promped them about the flowers. Their faces lit up “Hey! 
Yeah” and I heard them talking about it more on their way down.

Dear Steve,

All I said is these topics are controversial, and you lambast me with vitriol. 
Your response proves my assertion that these are controversial. Thank you for 
(inadvertantly) supporting my position that they are controversial. Sardonic 
grin.

The “nothing controversial here” quote is direct and from 6 lines down in how I 
your posting of Grant’s Blagh appears on my iPad.

“"For blacks, women, and gays, there were no 'good old days.'"” (A lotta 
quotes, because Grant was quoting his brother-in-law) is the quote I was 
referencing for gays/LTBGQ/Gender/Marriage/Identity

I ask again: I plead with folks here to recalibrate your “controversy” sensor 
and self-edit (it’s not just this post, by a long shot), so this group can 
return to focusing on bikes and riding, and camping, and bikepacking, and 
commuting, and the joy of sharing the journey, even if it is with someone so 
foolish and ignorat that he allows his faith to inform his beliefs.

With abandon,

2018-07-04 Thread 'Clayton' via RBW Owners Bunch
Sigh, it is only this thread, that has gone off the bike tires and into 
politics. There are lots of other threads. 

If you *support* the current Republican party, no matter how you paint your 
moral compass, you are still complicit. Morality is not flexible. There are 
no grey areas. I tire of people in society excusing themselves to 
themselves. The current Republican *party * is immoral. Not individuals. I 
am painting a broad stroke with a broad statement, and I apologize to those 
I have offended, but the Republican party is full of bigots, white 
terrorists and church burners. Like Nazi's. 'You' are either moral, and 
support those who are, or you're not. Black and white. This has far more to 
do with being good, and making the world a better place than politics. 
My male elders all fought in WW2 and taught me the lessons of the Nazi 
party and how they took over the morality of society. Same crap, different 
country. It's truly shameful. We are being conquered from moral rot, from 
the 'moral, Christian, family party'. Big eye roll. 
Guns and children getting killed by the hundreds in our schools. It is a 
high school social media thing now... Who can raise the body count and kill 
the most bullies? The NRA is the Republican armed forces for Gods sakes. 
More Americans were killed by domestic terrorism by far, than foreign 
terrorists before 911. Most all of them were Republicans. I don't know of 
many Democrats in that terrorism line up, do you? Meanwhile, with the 
Republicans support, thousands of Americans die every year from gun 
violence. Far more than any terrorist attacks from immigrants. As a 
Paramedic, I dealt with lots of dead people, shot full of holes on the 
streets, and 'you' didn't. Gun supporters don't see their children die on 
the streets. I did. Guns are a pompous hobby, dressed up as a patriotic 
right. Meanwhile your drunk neighbor just shot his whole family(In this 
day and age, guns would never prevent a despot from taking over. They would 
just cut off the power and internet and we would be fighting each other. 
All they would have to do is waitlol.).  Make a list of the good and 
bad of each party, then choose the moral one. It is a very simple choice. 
Oh, yeah.and there is that Trump dude. He has to go. And the 'killing 
the planet thing' toowe have to stop that. 

Be true to thine self. 

Clayton DD

(note: 'You' is a broad stroke to cover everyone who hasn't woken up and 
realized they are immoral)

A 23t chainring will run the chain at a 2mm smaller radius than a 24t

chain already runs so close to the mounting posts on the crank that the 
chainring bolts to that a 23t chainring wouldn't work as the chain would 
actually hit the mounting posts. You would have to file down the outside of

 I left the Republican Party. Now I want Democrats to take over.



by Max Boot  Columnist 
July 4 at 9:52 AM 
 



“Should I stay or should I go now?” That question 
, 
posed by the eminent political philosophers known as the Clash, is one 
that confronts any Republican with a glimmer of conscience. You used to 
belong to a conservative party with a white-nationalist fringe. Now it’s 
a white-nationalist party with a conservative fringe. If you’re part of 
that fringe, what should you do?


Veteran strategist Steve Schmidt 
, 
who ran John McCain’s 2008 campaign, is the latest Republican to say “no 
more.” Recently he issued an anguished Twitter post: “29 years and nine 
months ago I registered to vote and became a member of the Republican 
Party which was founded in 1854 to oppose slavery and stand for the 
dignity of human life,” he wrote 
. 
“Today I renounce my membership in the Republican Party. It is fully the 
party of Trump.”


Schmidt follows in the illustrious footsteps of Post columnist George F. 
Will 
, 
former senator Gordon Humphrey 
, 
former representative (and Post columnist) Joe Scarborough 
, 
Reagan and Bush (both) aide Peter Wehner 
, 
and other Republicans who have left the party. I’m with them. After a 
lifetime as a Republican, I re-registered as an independent on the day 
after Donald Trump’s election.


Explaining my decision, I noted 
 
that Trumpkins “want to transform the GOP into a European-style 
nationalist party that opposes cuts in entitlement programs, believes in 
deportation of undocumented immigrants, white identity politics, 
protectionism and isolationism backed by hyper-macho threats to bomb the 
living daylights out of anyone who messes with us.” I still hoped then 
that traditional conservatives might eventually prevail, but, I wrote, 
“I can no longer support a party that doesn’t know what it stands for — 
and that in fact may stand for positions that I find repugnant.”


I am more convinced than ever that I made the right decision. The 
transformation I feared has taken place. Just look at the reaction to 
President Trump’s barbarous policy of taking children away from their 
parents as punishment for the misdemeanor offense of illegally entering 
the country. While two-thirds of Americans disapproved of this 
state-sanctioned child abuse, forcing the president to back down, a 
majority of Republicans approved 
. 
If Trump announced he were going to spit-roast immigrant kids and eat 
them on national TV (apologies to Jonathan Swift 
), most 
Republicans probably would approve of that, too. The entire Republican 
platform can now be reduced to three words: whatever Trump says.


And yet there are still principled #NeverTrump conservatives such as Tom 
Nichols and Bill Kristol who are staying in the party. And they have a 
good case to make. Kristol, for one, balks “at giving up the Republican 
party to the forces of nativism, vulgar populism, and authoritarianism.”

>From Grant’s blagh: “Nothing in here is controversial”

Oxford Dictionary defines “Controversial” as: likely to give rise to public 
disagreement

Grant, there are at least three obvious controversial topics in your Blagh: 1) 
gays/LTBGQ/Gender/Marriage/Identity; 2) reproductive 
rights/abortion/contraception; 3) government social programs. How is it 
possible you do not know that a large portion of the general population 
publically disagrees with you on these?

Grant, I love you bikes. Your gifted craftsmanship with steel, lugs, and 
geometry is poetry in motion is part of the grace that allows me to ride a bike 
despite constant neurological vertigo from a bludgeoned brain. You have gone 
above and beyond in helping me shift my Hunqapillar to my Hunqabeam. What 
wondrous gifts for which I am deeply grateful.

I do not know what the answer is, but the tone of this group has had a dramatic 
increase in this type of “uncontrovercial” statements that presume everyone is 
on board, when in fact those statements are contrary to the teaching and faith 
of most world religions. I have largely let them slide by, but they are 
erroding the experience of the group for me, and I may not be alone. I plead 
with folks here to recalibrate your “controvercy” sensor and self-edit, so this

Re: [RBW] Thanks Grant

2018-07-04 Thread Philip Williamson
I’d like to be on the monetary committee.
I just sold my dad’s coin trove (6.2 kg of pocket change from before 1965). I 
kept a handful of Mercury Dimes, a couple different Liberty silver dollars, and 
a Buffalo Nickel. Man, that was good money!

Not sure if I’m in favor of non-US nationals on our currency, but maybe. The 
Google doodles are analogous to people on currency, and they’ve ramped up the 
number of featured immigrants and great people from all over the world since 
2016. Did you know an Iraqi immigrant invented skyscrapers? The external 
lattice version anyway, that allows them to be enormously tall and still 
strong. 

Coin graphics:
Half Dome (Open Pit Mine obverse)
Tallest Trees (all the different ones - clear cut obverse)
Anasazi cliff dwellings 
Full Moon (obverse the “dark” side side we never see)
Deepwater Horizon fire (seabirds on the obverse)
Food. Regional dishes.
Animals. Skunks, moose, orcas. Wooly mammoths.
Atoms.

Just back from a 40mi ride with them. 
I’d say they aren’t a sub for drops but perhaps for mstach. Less foward reach 
in the curve than stach I think. I’d say 4 hand positions, ends, just in front 
of the brakes (or on the clamp), in the hooks/curves, and the straight section 
next to the stem.

No, you are a heartless selfish monster because you support a policy 
that itself is cruel, indecent, heartless: in a word, monstrous.


And don't think for one microsecond that only "liberal Democrats" oppose 
the policy.  Consider for a moment this recent Washington Post column by 
Jennifer Rubin, as genuinely conservative a columnist as ever there was:



 Decency wins — and Trump gets smacked down

   
https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/right-turn/wp/2018/06/27/decency-wins-and-trump-gets-smacked-down/?utm_term=.eee2d31d21cd

   by Jennifer Rubin
    June 27

   On the same day that the Supreme Court upheld President Trump’s
   travel ban in a tortured ruling, a district court judge hearing a
   suit on behalf of a class of migrants separated from their children
   struck a blow for common decency and family reunification. The Post
   reports
   
:

   Judge Dana M. Sabraw of the United States District Court for the
   Southern District of California granted a preliminary injunction
   sought by the American Civil Liberties Union. He said all
   children must be reunited with their families within 30 days,
   allowing just 14 days for the return of children under 5 to
   their parents. He ordered that parents must be entitled to speak
   by phone with their children within 10 days.

   The court slammed the administration
   

   for “a chaotic circumstance of the Government’s own making.” Sabraw,
   appointed by President George W. Bush, found: “This
   situation has reached a crisis level. The news media is saturated
   with stories of immigrant families being separated at the border.
   People are protesting. Elected officials are weighing in. Congress
   is threatening action. Seventeen states have now filed a complaint
   against the Federal Government challenging the family separation
   practice.”

   In issuing an injunction, the court found there was a likelihood
   that the plaintiffs would succeed on a due process claim. (“We are a
   country of laws, and of compassion. We have plainly stated our
   intent to treat refugees with an ordered process, and benevolence,
   by codifying principles of asylum.  The Government’s treatment . . .
   [of] class members does not meet this standard, and it is unlikely
   to pass constitutional muster.”) The court continued:

   The practice of separating these families was implemented
   without any effective system or procedure for (1) tracking the
   children after they were separated from their parents, (2)
   enabling communication between the parents and their children
   after separation, and (3) reuniting the parents and children
   after the parents are returned to immigration
   custody following completion of their criminal sentence. This is
   a startling reality. The government readily keeps track of
   personal property of detainees in criminal and immigration
   proceedings. Money, important documents, and automobiles, to
   name a few, at all levels — state and federal, citizen and
   alien. Yet, the government has no system in place to keep track
   of , provide effective communication with, and promptly produce
   alien children. The unfortunate reality is that under the
   present system migrant children are not accounted for with the
   same efficiency and accuracy as property. Certainly, that cannot
   satisfy the requirements of due process.

   The court cited at length the findings of the Children’s Defense
   Fund regarding the extensive harm done to children forcibly
   separated from their parents. The court expressed the shock and
   dismay many ordinary Americans are feeling:

   The facts set forth before the Court portray
   reactive governance — responses to address a chaotic
   circumstance of the Government’s own making. They belie measured
   and ordered governance, which is central to the concept of due
   process enshrined in our Constitution. This is particularly so
   in the treatment of migrants, many of whom are asylum seekers
   and small children. The extraordinary remedy of

much better than a cotton cycling cap. The sweatband is also low profile 
and fit comfortably underneath a helmet (if you so choose to wear one). 
They're a bit pricey, especially when compared to cotton cycling caps on 
closeout, but they're worth the money.

[RBW] Re: What do Rivendell Riders wear for cycling caps?

2018-07-04 Thread Garth
I wear a Halo brand skull cap (white) with it's built-in sweatband with a 
Patagonia Duckbill visor.  The Duckbill Hats are too shallow and are mesh 
on top, so the Halo cap with the Duckbill visor version makes for a 2-piece 
hat.  The Duckbill hats and visors have much wider visor than any cycling 
cap ever has, and the visor isn't angled down like cycling caps which end 
up blocking your vision unless flipped up, defeating the purpose of the 
visor. I have just the right amount of coverage from the sun from the 
sides. 

All I can say is this works like a charm for me in heat and humidity. This

Re: [RBW] What do Rivendell Riders wear for cycling caps?

2018-07-04 Thread Robert F. Harrison
Mostly I wear caps from the Walz Velo/City collection. They are wool (for
the most part anyway) which you'd think would be hot hear in Hawaii (and on
RAGBRAI and mainland rides). I like the bigger visor over normal cycling
caps and, being wool, they don't start stinking right away on tours.

2018-07-04 Thread 'Clayton' via RBW Owners Bunch
To the Republican members of this group,

As a sixty two year old man, who still suffers from the effects of child 
abuse, child neglect and abandonment, I say without any reservation, and 
with great passion, that taking children away from their parents is one 
hundred percent wrong. The children are innocent. If you believe otherwise, 
you are a brainless, heartless dick. There is no way you could ever win 
this argument. 

In my experience in the states, when an adult with children is arrested, 
almost always, there are grandparents, the spouse, aunts and uncles to take 
care of the children when the parent is put in the back seat. I know this, 
because I worked the streets as a Firefighter Paramedic. The argument that 
children are taken away from family, when parents are arrested north of the 
border is mostly BS. As a matter of fact, the Republican party right now is 
just a big pile of lying shit, and I can't wait to vote them out. Child 
abusers. We sit here an bicker while the Earth is burning. The Paris accord 
is the most important thing on the table right now, and Trump pulls out. 
Idiot. 

I wish Americans were more intelligent. At least this group is smart enough 
to ride bikes. 

Ok, I said my piece. I won't get sucked into an argument with any of you, 
so don't bother responding to this. Just had to get that off my chest after 
reading some of these posts 

Divisive, rude, arrogant, looking down my nose, bad, abused child, evil, 
horrible, 
brown skin loving, hard core caring liberal

Patrick,

Thank you for the thoughtful response. I definitely disagree with several of 
your opinions but hearing your point of view is important. We can’t all just 
sit in our echo chamber and need more civil discourse in our society and 
thoughtful debate. 

I hope the thread or the tone of this thread change and it doesn’t spill over 
into our other threads and future topics debating the subtle differences 
between the MIT  and MUSA Atlantis Bikes. I would also  still love to read some 
more MIT Atlantis ride reports, comparisons with other models (Appaloossa 
specifically) and mountain bike speculation.

   Just give it up Richard , and everyone else "trying" to get their little 
"last jab" in because "an ending" is not the intent, a continuance of the 
back-and-forth "fight against"  is  a never ending accusing of the 
other by excusing oneself for throwing the "last jab". 
 

It's really self-serving nonsense.  Nothing has been changed, no one is 
helped. The "issues/accusations" are again but an excuse to 
"do-say-whatever-the-fuck-I-want-because-blah-blah-blah"  .  The "fight 
against" has nothing to do with the issues/accusations/excuses. 


The "fight against" is the very thing the "fight against" is fighting 
against.   A fight against nothing, and nothing cannot be fought with, as 
nothing is nothing. So who's the fighter ?  No one, there isn't one. 


In Truth, all there is, is Truth Itself.

Re: [RBW] Thanks Grant

2018-07-04 Thread Richard
Just one more post.. I can't help myselflike the little kid trying to 
get the last word in:)

Very thoughtful and well written post Deacon. Please continue to speak your 
mind.

I'm in agreement with you on the need to protect the unborn. With recent 
events unfolding, I feel we're going to have a national conversation about 
it soon. Long overdue in my mind.
 

IMHO, not that anyone is asking, Grant should separate his politics from 
his business. Though you would never know it from this google group, not 
all purchasers of Rivendell bikes, myself included, share his political 
leanings. 

Older consumers tend to have more disposable income, and tend to be more 
conservative. Why deliberately alienate them? We're not heartless, selfish 
monsters just because we're not liberal Democrats.

It's really a matter of what's appropriate on a business website. Inserting 
politics into a small business, one dependent on internet sales, is simply 
a bad idea, especially in this age of instant internet boycotts. 

Yes, I know Grant writes on his BLAG but I believe it links to the store 
website.

 Have you read about the royal screwup at Walmart recently?

 Apparently some Walmart's are selling "Impeach 45" T shirts and someone 
posted about it on Twitter. The tweet immediately went viral  and the 
outcry created an instant #BoycottWalmart trend on Twitter. 

Of course Walmart is pulling the t shirts, but the damage is done. A major 
PR nightmare for a retailer with a presence in every red state in the 
country. 

Sorry guys, its probably too late to buy the T-shirts..:)
