They look super on the Hillborne. Good choice and they look big enough without 
being too big. They should last many years.

[RBW] Re: Fender hacks with marks rack & Tektro brake

[Michael Cinibulk]

I did something similar to what Friend suggests. The front of my SKS fender 
broke off where I cut slots to allow my side pulls room around the fender. I 
simply used aluminum flashing and attached it to the bottom of the rack using 
the existing screws. Worked fine. I don’t have that setup anymore so can’t 
provide photos.

[RBW] What’s your winter (re)build?

[Fullylugged]

Going to build up a '95 Road. It's due back in a week from a repair and 
re-paint. It was a triple and it's going to be a 50/34 compact double instead. 
8 speed 11-34 in back or similar (cause I have them in boxes on the shelf) and 
a shorter reach Technomic stem instead of the Dynamic I had on it. Staying with 
Nitto 135 bars and Silver DT shifters. Going to squeeze some 38mm Pascenti Pari 
Motos in place of the Soma New Express (they run around 36mm). So overall, a 
lighter, quicker, tighter vibe I think.

[RBW] Re: NAHBS iBOB/Riv list Get-Together and Garage Sale, Sat 3/16

[Jeremy Till]

Hey folks, just bumping this to remind folks attending NAHBS that I'll be 
hosting a little get together and garage sale Saturday morning. Details 
below. The weather's looking good for Saturday so after the get-together 
I'll lead a ~45 min social paced ride along the Sacramento river and 
through Downtown, ending at the Convention center.  

FYI, since I had a couple of questions about it, NAHBS sent out an email 
this morning confirming that SABA (our local bike advocates) will once 
again be hosting valet bike parking at the convention center. So if you're 
coming along for the ride, no worries about parking your bike once we get 
there.  

Send me a personal message to RSVP and I'll send you my address. Hope to 
see you there!

I have a MUSA atlantis, but from riggght before they announced MIT 
ones, so i assume its really similar minus the xl stays. I had drops on an 
9cm stem and it was fine, but i bought the analog 30mm stem and cowchippers 
and ive never been so comfortable on handlebars in all positions on and 
off. since i made the cowchipper and 30mm stem swap at the same time, i 
don't really know if im benefitting from both or one variable.

[RBW] Re: What’s your winter (re)build?

[lconley]

My winter rebuild is my 2014 Bombadil.

Changed Bullmoose handlebars to Nitto 75 stem (120mm) and 46 cm 
Compass/Nitto Randonneur handlebars.
Changed Tektro cantilever brakes to Paul cantilevers (Neo-Retro F, Touring 
R) w/Tektro TRP levers (drilled/gum) and Tektro interrupters.
Changed 40 hole Velocity Atlas rims to 40 hole Velocity Cliffhanger rims.
Changed 650b x 50 Schwalbe Big Bens to 650b x 57 (2.25) Schwalbe G One All 
Rounder tires.
Changed Berthoud 60mm SS fenders to Honjo H-95 fenders. There is an 
incredible amount of space left - probably could have gone with 2.35s. I 
think the rear chain stays will be the limiting factor
Changed Sunrace thumb shifters to ? still haven't decided - I have Shimano 
Ultegra 8 speed bar-ends that I may try to use as index shifters with the 
Shimano Altus on the 7 speed IRD freewheel - yes I still use a freewheel. 
It is on a Phil Wood touring hub (like a Rivvy without the slots) and 
results in almost zero wheel dish = stronger wheel. Currently have Silver 
downtube shifters installed.
Changed green Brooks B-17 Ti to Brooks aged B-68. Anybody want to buy a 
green Brooks B-17 Ti?

Main goal is to make the bike more comfortable. I completed the Cross 
Florida ride on it a few years ago, but was not real comfortable at the end 
of the ride - so - wider tires, wider saddle, and handlebars with multiple 
hand positions.

I'm building up a '08 A. Homer Hilsen. Just need the shifters to make their 
way from the bowels of my local post office to my front porch and I'll be 
ready to cable up and dial in.

My favorite part about this build? Barring the chain, cables and mmmaybe 
the tires, I've cobbled together the frame and 100% of the parts from 
trades, for-sales and WTBs either here or over on iBOB. It's OUR bike,

[RBW] What’s your winter (re)build?

[Joe Bernard]

My winter build was this Paul Taylor frame I picked up from Bicycle Odyssey in 
Sausalito late last year. 

Built up as a singlespeed with Paul Centerpulls, V-O Milan bars, Nitto stem, CK 
headset, American Classic post, red Brooks B17 (matches the panels EXACTLY), 
105/Mavic wheels, Jack Brown Green, was Sugino now V-O cranks with ancient 
Suntour 42t chainring. 

It's tentatively for sale cuz my taxes are horrendous this year, but I finally 
got 'er out in the sun yesterday and boy howdy do those colors pop! I'm leaning 
towards just paying the bill and keeping the bike, it's a fantastic ride. Check 
out the last sun pic in the album.

[RBW] What’s your winter (re)build?

[Justin August]

As we emerge from “Winter” here in the Bay Area I got to take my Saluki out 
yesterday (as posted in the post yr Riv thread). I thought it would be 
interesting to see how folks have decided to change their builds over the 
winter as often happens.

Salukid: my upright but not uptight kid hauler.
Something I LOVE about this frame as a kid hauler is the ability to mount from 
behind the saddle due to the combination of low bottom bracket and slacker seat 
tube angle.
Build list:
Widest Bosco Bars (58cm?) + 12cm Nitto Stem + Ergon Grips
Thule Kid seat
Paul Levers + Brakes + Moon Units
Microshift shifter (10 sp indexed) + XT Derailleur on a road link shifting

[RBW] Re: Fender hacks with marks rack & Tektro brake

[lconley]

The problem is the brake vs the fender. When you open the brake's quick 
release, the brake pushes down on the fender and the fender onto the tire 
if you are maxing tire size. Cutting away the offending fender solves the 
problem, but so does using center pull brakes.  I am considering a version 
of this for the linear brake cable in order to put fenders on my HHH. 

Note that if you are really, really pushing the tire size, the center pull 
provides more tire clearance than the side pull. I have two bikes with 
center pull front brakes and side pull rears - Betty Foy and Rosco Bubbe 
V1. The center pull for fender clearance on the front of the Betty and the 
side pull on the rear because it was a cleaner look that rigging a center 
pull on the rear.The center pull for tire clearance on the front of 
the Rosco and the side pull on the rear because there wasn't enough room to 
cleanly put a hanger on.

[Friend]

What seems easier to me is putting something on the bottom of the rack that 
extends back slightly.  Wouldn't look as nice but would be cheaper and 
easier.

[RBW] MIT Atlantis with drops?

[Joe Bernard]

Mike, I'll letcha know how it works in a couple weeks. This was set up for 
Candice @ Analog, who is about my height, hence the 0cm stem to make drops work 
on a 53cm Atlantis. These shorty stems with DirtDrops are a thing they promote, 
I'm very interested to see how it goes for me. I think it looks fantastic!

Joe Appaloosas are excellent candidates for rear- or mid-drive kits. It's a 
tough, stable frame with canti studs so you can get some strong brakes on

[RBW] Re: MIT Atlantis with drops?

[Brett Callahan]

I'm running my 59 with a Nitto / Fairweather bar that is effectively a 46 
cm noodle with less drop.  I love the bike but I've had a hard time dialing 
in bars. This seems to be a keeper. I previously tried flat bars which 
didn't agree with my wrists, the billie bar, which just had too 
muuuch flex,  and noodles and v-brake levers from Tektro that gave me 
too much reach even with a short stem.  Since making the change to cantis 
and a more compact drop, I'm pretty happy with my setup.  The bike felt 
great with flats on dirt, and it feels great with drops on pavement. I'm 
hoping to get it out on some dirt as currently built this weekend. 

Bottom line, if you like the bike and you want to run drops, I vote go for 
it. I think you'll find that the aesthetic funk will fade quickly!

[RBW] MIT Atlantis with drops?

[Leaf Slayer]

Ok, so I'm giving some serious thought to going back down the RBW rabbit 
hole again (previously had a AHH, Rambouillet and QB). I really like the 
MIT Atlantis. Last year I sold my CC and LHT and have put together a Crust 
Evasion which is an absolutely awesome bike. I'll be selling off my Ogre 
soon and, most likely my Big Dummy. I want to get down to 2 nice and 
distinct bikes. I got a silver Crust Towel rack on order and will likely 
build a bike around them. That's a good way to do it, right? I also have a 
Fab's Chest coming. 

Anyway, I'm curious about the MIT Atlantis with drops and how it rides on 
dirt roads. I imagine it's great. There's some aesthetically incongruent 
about drops on a bike with such a long wheel base, but how does it actually 
feel? Any down sides? The thing I like about the Atlantis is that it's 
easily rackable and fenderable. It would likely go into service as my daily 
driver. 

I'm also giving some serious thought to a Romanceur. I know, it sounds like 
I'm going full Benedict, but believe me, I started down this road years ago 
and we're just crossing paths at this moment.

I have a collection of parts laying around that would be perfect for either 
bike.

Thanks,

Re: [RBW] 40mm tire question

I have not tried the Pari Motos but I believe they were originally designed as 
a thin and light “event” tire.  I think Panaracer may have beefed them up a bit 
over the years.  I think Jan Heine mentioned something about this.  They now 
appear to be very similar to the Gravel Kings sharing the same tread, but 
without the added flat protection.  They should ride almost as well as the 
regular casing Compass, but with a slightly thicker sidewall and probably less 
expensive rubber compound.  I had the Quasi-Moto’s on my Bombadil and they 
actually road fairly decent on pavement and were comfortable but fast wearing.  
I have always had good luck with Panaracer made tires.  I have the Non-armored 
Jack Brown Greens and Fatty Rumpkin Greens on a couple of my bikes and like 
them almost as much as the standard casing Compass, though there is a 
difference.  My experience with Compass is while standard casing have a great 
ride, the EL casings are in a whole another league that is especially 
noticeable, particlarly the higher volume versions.  I am dying to try the Rat 
Trap Pass EL setup tubeless at about 25-30 PSI.

[RBW] 40mm tire question

[Chad]

I have also been very impressed with the ride quality of Bruce Gordon Rock and 
Roads.  They have a pretty aggressive tread, but roll decent on pavement with 
just a faint hum and seem to be almost as supple as the Compass regular 
casings.  I do have them set up tubeless and am running a low 30psi.  They did 
measure larger than the advertised 43 width according to my calipers. IIRC, 
they measured close to 45mm when first installed and have likely grown a 
little.  They JUST FIT with just enough clearance on my Sam with Paul Racer 
sidepulls.  No room for fenders and I wouldn’t want to go any larger.  I would 
like to try them on my Toyo-built 650B AHH but it seems to have a bit less 
clearance than the Sam.  They also make them in 700X43C.  I have heard that the 
Schwalbe G-Ones ride nice and roll fast, but their bead was so tight I couldn’t 
get them installed and was fortunately able to return them.  It is my 
understanding that the G-Ones “Tubeless Easy” sidewalls are easily cut by the 
sharp gravel that he have here in the Flint Hills of Kansas.  The very popular 
Dirty Kanza 200 gravel race has become a test bed for many tire manufactures 
and it’s hard to find a good balance between ride quality, rolling resistance, 
weight, and puncture protection.  I have heard and read good things about the 
Maxxis Rambler and the new line of Vittoria Terreno tires.  I kind of geek out 
when it comes to tires.  I do like the trend towards tan colored sidewalls.  
They look good on just about any bike, but specially on Rivs.

[RBW] 40mm tire question

[Chad]

Excel Sports has both the regular Panaracer Gravel King and the Gravel King SK 
in all black or tan wall on sale for $32. they are Tubeless compatible.  That 
price is hard to beat and I plan on trying a set of the 38 SK’s mounted 
tubeless on my CX bike for gravel rides.  It seems that it is hard to find a 
decent tires for less than $50 these days.  The GK’s are light but do have an 
anti-flat casing so they likely won’t be as supple as a Compass tire but 
definitely better than a 900g Schwalbe Marathon.  FYI, it is my understanding 
that the Gravel Kings tend to run wide depending on your rim width.  The 35 
measures closer to 38 and the 38 advertised width is also marked as 40-622 and 
meaures 40+ on modern wider width rims.  They had to relabel the old 40 as a 43.

I will say the Compass tires are pretty incredible but have paper thin 
sidewalls.  I’ve had both the 650B Babyshoe EL and the Barlow Pass 700x38 on my 
bikes.  You definitely trade flat resistance and durability for ride comfort.  
The Babyshoe Passes felt like I was riding on pillows and were very fast 
rolling on my old Sam.  It felt like I was on a totally different bike after I 
switched from the Fatty Rumpkin Blues.  I ended up selling it he BP’s before I 
had a lot of miles, but they did survive a 50 mile rough gravel ride with some 
sealant in the tubes.  Early I got a flat from a small sticker just riding 
around the neighborhood so I was worried.  I used to be able to get Compass 
tires through my LBS at a discount, but now they’ve gotten pretty dang 
expensive at retail price.  The Barlow Pass measured closer to 36 on my RB-T 
but it has narrow Mavic MA-2 rims.  The Baby Shoes were within .5mm of the 
advertised 42 width on Velocity Synergy rims.  Like the previous poster 
mentioned, they aren’t quite as tall as some similar width tires and worked 
well with fenders.  Another slightly cheaper alternative to Compass is the Soma 
Supple Vitesse.  It is my understanding that they share the same high end 
Panaracer casing as the Compass EL and can usually be found a bit cheaper 
online.

[RBW] Re: FS: Rambouillet - 54cm - $1,300 + shipping CONUS

[Chad]

Any idea how big of a tire the Ram will fit?  Seems like it should at least fit 
a 33.33 Jack Brown.  I’m just under 5’7” with an 80PBH.  This would likely be 
my size based on my experience owning other Rivs.  Could you measure the 
standover height?  Thanks!
