[RBW] Stein's 'Hypercracker' Tool and Riv Dropouts

[Joe Bernard]

I agree that the hanger is the better plan 'cause the amount of force required 
will definitely send that eyelet far down the road. Hopefully you'll never need 
it, that device strikes me as a new problem presented to solve the original 
one.

[RBW] Re: Fishnet longjohn/ boiled wool/ ventile system details

[Lum Gim Fong]

P'burgh winters are probably way worse than here in MD.

Here in MD I get away with:
2 wool layers and J jacket or 4-5 layers of wool and no jacket.
Couple hats.
2 layers of tights (one Ibex wool, one Boure windstopper type) or pair up 
some heavyweight wool long johns and MUSA long pants.
2 layers of sox and sneakers.
Various non-cycling gloves.

Sweating is not an issue with the 4-5 layers of wool/no jacket combo.
Sort of a trade off not feeling the wind cut with the jacket, but then I 
sweaty shoulders. Even with it being vented and breathable.

One thing is my thighs and shoulders complain if I am out too long. I guess 
they take the brunt of the wintry blasts. I guess one of those ventile 
jackets would be heavy enough to protect better from the wind and still 
breathe. Not sure what to do about thighs. Rain legs might work but again - 
the sweat issue.

Yeah, I'm ever surprised by peoples abilities to shoot themselves in the

I definitely prefer the look of lugs, especially on randos and touring 
rides. I still think the Tournesols were a cool mixture of modern and 
classic.

[RBW] Re: Fishnet longjohn/ boiled wool/ ventile system details

[ascpgh]

I'll second the benefit of investment in cold/wet weather vestments. While 
not nearly the extreme s of Patrick's ventures, mine have become sort of 
mundane and my shell layers have stopped representing disappointment by 
year two or three's use. 

My commuting travels rarely produce such vivd imagery. I did have a 
memorable Christmas eve the other year when my wife went to her folks' 
since I was working both the eve and Christmas day. 

I came out to a steady snow and I took the right turn instead of the normal 
left in complete desolation of traffic, people and quiet. I rode into 
downtown to Market Square where a kind bar keeper poured me a holiday 
libation I enjoyed outside on a bench in the falling snow. 

I took the long way home around the Point and Monongahela River's trail, 
Panther Hollow and through the university neighborhoods home and a quick 
sleep before the ride to work in the morning. I felt like I slept a century 
 

One of my favorite ride moments, although it's in my mind and I cannot 
share a picture.

Re: [RBW] Winter wool baselayer rec needed

I have the wiggys fishnet stuff. It works really well. Order larger than 
you would normally do. I suspect the bottoms are ok, but the tops 
definitely need a size boost. 

The liner jacket is very nice. Your first impression may be thin 
insulation-wise but it works well. Wiggy know what he's doing.

[RBW] Re: Slightly OT PSA IndyFab/Hampsten Tournesol

[Lum Gim Fong]

Before I started getting into steel, I thought lugs were for "cheap" bikes. 
Like the bike company needed them to keep their tubes in place or something.
Of course I didn't know anything about bike building.

Now I love the look of lugs and prefer them on my bikes, even though 
apparently they don't make a bike ride any  better than a tig weld bike 
would.

Re: [RBW] Slightly OT PSA IndyFab/Hampsten Tournesol

['Eric Norris' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Looks a lot bigger than a 54!

P.S. Try as I might, I just can’t love a TIG-welded frame. Call me 
old-fashioned, but a steel frame should be either lugged (preferred) or fillet 
brazed (second choice). I do have one TIG-ed frame, and it’s just fine, but 
it’s a bike that’s built for utility rather than beauty.

Re: [RBW] Re: Things I wish Rivendell still sold..

[Daniel M]

And here I was thinking I was the only one holding a candle for lightweight 
26"-wheeled allroad bikes! I bought a pristine 1993 Bridgestone MB-1 a few 
years ago, converted it to drop bars (a la the 1987 model), and put on a pair 
of Rat Trap Pass ELs. It's my favorite road bike I've ever had - the 
confidence, handling, and cornering grip on pavement are astounding, and when 
flying down rough dirt roads and trails, I occasionally say to myself "this 
thing is really good off-road too ... oh wait, it's a mountain bike!"

I then built a Rohloff - disk brake equivalent around a New Albion Drake frame 
intended for 650b/27.5"/584 wheels with tire widths ranging from 42-48mm. I 
instead built a 26"/584 wheelset and run standard Rat Trap Pass tires (52mm) on 
that one. It's basically all I ride now - high, flared drop bars, quiet, 
maintenance-free drivetrain with perfect shifting across all 14 gears even 
while stopped, and a cloudlike ride over all surfaces, It's definitely heavier 
then the MB-1, but I only notice that when lifting it, not while riding it!

There is nothing like either of these bikes available off the shelf, which is a 
pity. Going down to a 26" rim and running the widest and tallest 
ultra-lightweight tire available makes me wonder why anyone would want a larger 
rim diameter. And my MB-1 is the largest size they came in (20.5"?) and my 
Drake is a (virtual) 58cm, the second largest size, so the sizing the wheel to 
the frame thing doesn't make sense to me when there are wider (i.e. taller) 
tires available in 26" than in other sizes. In my experience the height of the 
tire off the rim makes far, far, far more difference to me than the diameter of 
the rim. I run 20x2.0" Big Apples on my Dahon folding bike and ride that thing 
on all sorts of dirt roads and trails as well. Think about that: it's only a 
20" rim, but the tires are wider than the widest lightweight 650b tire (48mm) 
currently available!

That said, 26"(559) and 27.5"(584) are really close to each other;  in reality, 
27.5" rims (650b/584) are much closer to 26" rims (559) than to 29" rims 
(700c/622) If all things were equal, then I think the difference between 26" 
and 27.5" rims would start to be a bit of hair-splitting. For example, my 
adventure touring tank is a Surly Troll (also Rohloff-ed and also XL - I like 
my frames big even though I'm only 5'9") running 26x3.0" WTB Rangers. My 
friend's Marin Pine Mountain (really nice bike) has 27.5x3.0" Schwalbes, and 
when the two bikes are next to each other, the overall wheel size difference is 
minimal. So since there are plenty of adventure frames intended for 27.5x3.0" 
tires and plenty of tires available to match, I will survive if 26" adventure 
tires become unavailable. It will mean new rims and a new frame, but we are 
still a long way from that point.

But, for road tires, all things are NOT equal. The Rat Trap Passes are the 
widest lightweight tires available, and only available in 26", and frankly that 
combo fits a lot of road-oriented frames better than a 27.5/650b x 52mm tire 
would, especially if you want to run fenders as well! So I will keep a bike or 
two capable of running RTPs as long as they are availabe, and at this point 
that means nothing from Riv. The two 26" wheeled 58cm Atlantises that popped up 
for sale in the past few weeks are the closest they've come in recent years, 
and those are drool-worthy.

I wish Riv would make a utilitarian, TIG-ed, 26"-wheeled bike in the lightest 
tubing they are willing, like a Roadini or AHH, but built like a single person 
HubbuHubbuH. I would call it the HubbuH. It would have the threadless 1+1/8" 
steerer and the Eccentric Bottom Bracket and ONE of the disk-brake eyelets from 
the tandem, and no double top tubes! That way I could set it up with derailers 
like my MB-1 or with my Rohloff like the Drake. (The EBB is needed to tension 
the chain, and the single disc-brake eyelet is used to for the anti-torque 
arm). This would be the perfect all-rounder: room for up to 26"x60mm tires with 
fenders, and useable with derailers, but also as a singlespeed/fixed gear or 
with a Shimano or Rohloff internal hub. The best part is that HubbuH could be 
taken as "hubber", as in the first Rivendell that plays nicely with IGHs. Since 
the HubbuHubbuH uses two headbadges, this would only require one. It could be 
built using parts they have already used in the past, and it would give them a 
nicer alternative to the Breezer Uptown 8 that I otherwise recomend to anyone 
who will listen. 

I think I have given this too much thought, and written words, for that matter.

I put Long distance on my moustache bars and love them -

their thumbs in the bend.

I would like to third this idea. I was hoping the upcoming mtb would have a
26” wheel, but am told all too often its a dead end. Steve

+1 for All Rounder

I would buy one today if it was available (as a standard non-custom priced 
frame)

I really wish Riv would really add a 26" XO/All Rounder style ride into the 
lineup

The Betty Foy. 

I have a had a few women who have asked where they can buy that exact bike 
and I inform them they can't. I have had people ask if they can buy my 
wife's bike because they like it so much. Yes you can buy a close 
approximate with a custom but that is cost prohibitive. Bring back the 
*elegant* version of a step though frame.
