Re: [RBW] Re: No response from Riv ...

[Drw]

Sheesh,
I’ve only had what would be described as amazing correspondence with any and 
everyone at Rivendell by phone or email and I’ve asked some really 
irrelevant questions. I’d imagine it’s a tech issue or a busyness issue.

Re: [RBW] Re: Hunqapillar fender options

[Patrick Moore]

I just asked a similar question on the iBob list. I've got the SKS's too
and the front is way too short. Also 60 mm (actual; in reality, about 60.5
mm) Big Ones.

>From the drawings, the rolled edges of the square 65 mm Sims limits the
interior width to 58 mm, which is considerably narrower than the
edge-to-edge width of the SKSs, and would crowd the 60 actual Big Ones even
more than the SKSs. So, no go.

So I'll add my request to Kurt's: Other options for fattish fenders for 60
mm tires? The Matthews can take close to 70 mm actual width fenders.
There's Kelpie, but big $$$.

Primarily I use Carradice Super C fronts. I've used Karrimors which you 
probably won't find. Have a wonderful set of Beckman's but you won't find 
those either unless you're lucky. Jandd Mountain and Standard front 
panniers. The Mountain panniers are small. The Standards are pretty big but 
sloppy if you don't fill them.  You really gotta stuff 'em. The Super C's 
are a wee bit small too, larger than the Jandd's MTB's I believe. Your

Re: [RBW] Re: No response from Riv ...

[Joe Bernard]

I get longish answers from Grant about this, that and the other thing 
sometimes; and sometimes not at all. He's made it clear on the Blahg he reads 
all the conversational (the only kind I send) email, but can't answer every 
one. I try to speak in a "this is what I think" way without asking a question 
so he can just read the thing. 

Will tends to speak in short bursts. I don't find it "curt", it's just the way 
he talks electronically. It's fine with me.

[RBW] FS: Nitto, kingcage, microshift, flaps etc.

[Drw]

Another round of small stuff

-Nitto saddlebag grip/quick release- mounted and maybe used once. Basically new 
- 85$ shipped

-microshift shifters- these came on a set of Paul thumbies. Only friction. Seem 
to handle up to 10 speed. Ratchety like silvers. I assume they are off of bar 
ends. Should fit Shimano compatible mounts. 25$ shipped because I don’t know 
much about them. 

-king iris cage- 15$ shipped

-salsa nickless cage -10$ shipped

-Sackville fender flaps- tan, used for a season or so. Dirty on one side but 
otherwise really good shape. - 25$ shipped for pair

-rhode gear flickstand- NOS, ATB version specifically for big tires. I hoarded 
these for a while. Excellent little thing if you park with a front floppy 
load.- 15$ shipped

-skewers- 2 silver rear, Shimano black set. Free 

Or take the whole lot for 150$ shipped

That's terrible to hear about curt responses! I've emailed with Roman
about film and photography, with Grant about diet, and with anyone who
will answer about orders, fit, etc. I understand that it's difficult
to call from Australia. I have work colleagues there (I'm in Brooklyn,

together. This might be feedback that they would want to hear.

a bunch but have found fit to be a issue with some.

Great event!  I'm not sure I can commit since I have so much going on in 
Charlotte.  This will be the start of our BikeCharlotte event and I'll be 
introducing Bike Benefits Bingo, Tour de Sabor, and more events.  If anyone 
is nearby, let me know.  Thank you for planning this.  I'd like to do 
something when I'm not so busy.

[RBW] Re: No response from Riv ...

[OwenS]

I have to agree. As much as I'm loving my rivendell bike, they were 
TERRIBLE at responding to my emails - slow response times, and curt 
responses.  And it isn't as easy to just call them from Australia.

I would assume you're correct about an outgoing email problem - I
called recently and talked to Grant about a fender fit issue, so
they're ready and willing to help via phone at least!

Hmm, I've emailed Grant, Will, and Jenny recently, and it is fairly unusual
for me not to receive a reply from anyone, so maybe there is an outgoing
gmail problem with Riv.  It was clear that they probably saw my email
because they were able to accommodate my request regarding an order...

Hmm.

[RBW] Re: FS big nitto front rack 34F

[John Bokman]

Tom, could you tell me what kind of panniers you used with this rack?
Looking at the triangulation of the rack, I"m wondering if those added 
supports might prevent me from mounting my Lone Peak panniers. I can't 
adjust the hooks, unlike an ortlieb or some such. 
Do you know if this rack was designed to be used with Riv panniers?
Thanks. I like to use a heavy front load on my 32F, and am thinking it's 
not so prudent. I also use panniers, so this rack might make sense, if it 
can accept my panniers.

[RBW] Re: FS: 51cm Appaloosa full bike or frame and 50cm MIT Atlantis frame

Hi Sean,

Now that I have picked up the 46cm Appaloosa frame and started building it, 
need to free up space.   Can't wait for much longer on local inquires.

I'll update this thread as soon as I find someone who can pack the 
bike/frame.  In a day or two..

Thank you,

[RBW] Re: Rivendell tinkering..

[Craig Montgomery]

Owen, Deacon, Kiley, 
You bet. The bikes invite "messin' with." I remember reading the early 
catalogs where Grant would make suggestions on different ways to set up his 
designs.  I remember unboxing that brand new '96 All Rounder and thinking 
"now what the hell can I do with this?" The bike changed over the years 
through the evolution of riding styles, purposes, and age. And it was a lot 
of fun, stress relieving, and cheaper than changing bikes. Although I've 
had dozens of bikes in my adult life, collecting and riding vintage, the 
All Rounder has always been the mainstay, the flagship, and always 
malleable. 
Here's a few major permutations:

[RBW] Re: Compass Antelope Pass 700 x 55: the fat tire arms race continues

[Ryan M.]

I got the Schwalbe G-One Allround 650bx57 tire mounted to Velocity 
Cliffhangers to fit in my Appaloosa so I don't see why the Compass Antelope 
Pass tires wouldn't. 

I have the Antelope Pass tires on my Niner Sir9 right now and they honestly 
look a bit thinner than the Schwalbe G-ones. I think they would fit well on 
the Appaloosa.

Re: [RBW] Re: Compass Antelope Pass 700 x 55: the fat tire arms race continues

[Patrick Moore]

Mark: Thanks for this. It is a bit apples:oranges, but a useful data point
nonetheless. I think at this point my principal interest in the APs is
whether it exhibits the same "floppy" feeling that the 60 mm (700C) Big
Ones do, even at what for such a fat tire is pavement pressure -- 26+ under
my 175. Boblist scuttlebutt (was it on the Bob or o this list) is that the
BO's tread tends to "stick" to the pavement in turns; minimally, but enough
to notice. It's not horrible, but it means that the ride is less than Riv
quality. As far as cushion, perceived rolling resistance, and weight, I am
more than happy with the ultra light BO model.

As with your experience with the APs, the BOs feel as fast on pavement as
the Elk Passes, at least when I am riding these last on my 2003 Riv.

[RBW] Re: No response from Riv ...

[Ash]

Patrick,

There seems to be a problem with Will's email system.  Better to call him.

Yesterday I was at Rivendell HQ to pick up my new Appaloosa frame.  I 
mentioned to Will about my emails to him over last few months to which I 
had not received response.  He looked up the outbox on his laptop and I 
could see that he had indeed responded to all of my queries.  There's 
nothing from Will in my Gmail.  It is a mystery.   This's something for Riv 
to investigate with their business email provider.

When I bought my bronze R. Bubbe two years ago, I seriously considered the

Re: [RBW] 1996 Bicycle Guide Steel Tubing Throwdown

[John McBurney]

In the new book Japanese Steel there is a section on tubing. It seems tat
even as Japanese Steel like Tange Prestige and higher end Ishiwata steels
were eclipsing Columbus and Reynolds, the branding was more at the level of
the frame maker. It was also common to mix and match tubes.

https://www.rizzoliusa.com/book/9780847861705/

Since Grant had his association with Bridgestone I assume some of the
practices carried over. Rivendell gets top billing and doesn’t share the
spotlight with the tube maker.

[RBW] SKS fenders secu clips

[Kainalu V. -Brooklyn NY]

You've gotta push harder than you think you'd need to. To give yourself a 
little more leverage you could sandwich the stays with a couple wood blocks and 
a clamp, but I think you can do it with the power of will.
Good luck!

[lconley]

It is possible the clips are sacrificial and must be replaced. If you look 
inside the clip, is there any evidence of plastic being sheared off?

My Rivendells have tubing decals. The decals even describe the strength and

Good article, (thanks to Peter from the CR group) with an insert commentary

[RBW] SKS fenders secu clips

[Reid]

Hello all,

I have SKS fenders on a Clementine and the front fender has the plastic 
security clips holding the struts to the fork braze on. A branch jumped up 
between the tire and struts and the clip did just the right thing. However, 
now I can't get the clips to snap on to the struts again. How do I apply 
enough pressure on the clips to make them hold on the struts? Thanks for 
any ideas.

I popped a seat post bolt and ordered its replacement from Riv.

[RBW] Re: Spare Nitto Parts?

['Hetchins52' via RBW Owners Bunch]

If it is the back half of the aluminum clamp that is stripped, you can 
drill and rethread it. I stripped those threads on the GAP/C&O Canal trail 
but repaired it later. I think that I went from the original 6mm bolt to an 
8mm (or 8 to 10mm). I can check it out if you want to know for sure.
The tap may cost more than the part, if it is available separately.
