[RBW] Re: Adding Seatpost QR to Riv

[Rod Holland]

I put the Campy QR binders that Mike Kone sells on an Ebisu and a 1982 
Sequoyah. Straight-forward installation, good function, and about as pretty as 
a binder bolt can reasonably be expected to look.

[RBW] Re: Adding Seatpost QR to Riv

[Clayton.sf]

Nah. Those things don't work. I use to tie some string between saddle rails and 
seat stays. That made it really easy to find the right height fast after having 
lowered the post. But then I got lazy and just high-posted it. Now the mtb has 
a dropper and I use it all the time, so I am thinking of giving the manual 
dropper another try.

Re: [RBW] Non technical riding gear

[Patrick Moore]

IIRC, Rivendell charged a similar price for LS shirts. Expensive, but for
small-run, MUSA garments, acceptable. LLB and LE charge $50-$55, and those
are made in bulk overseas, I am sure. Synthetic LS jerseys in this year's
(or probably, next year's) style can easily go for twice that. And these
flannel shirts are hi tec, not just cotton or wool flannel.

But onward to a relevant tangent: The cycling market is fashion driven;
that's obvious. But it's interesting and comforting to see that fashion
sometimes brings back useful things, when usually it is annoying and even
dismaying for its triviality, expense, and fatuity -- $200 sunglasses? $500
shoes? I realize that top of line accessories might very well be better in
some ways, but I am not convinced that they are $150 or even almost $250
better* than Tifosis. * $300 sunglasses!
https://www.oakley.com/en-us/product/W0OO6046?variant=888392464033 (And
sheeit, how silly they look.) This is like Vogue.

I recall that a couple of years ago The Fashion Market brought back what I
saw described on 1 site as an innovation in technology that allowed better
adjustment of your shoe. That technology? Shoelaces. It' still around, even
2-3 years later!

Me, I hope that flannel shirts and baggy nylon shorts and pants become the
fashion must-haves for 2020, and that Rivendell becomes the vendor of
choice.

Personally, I do pay full retail for good cycling garments if need be, but
not because they are the latest fashions. But I suppose that, if idiots pay
too much for things just because they are new this year, that helps keep
the cycling industry going for the rest of us.

Indeed!  The red bag you had on in one of the pictures goes very well with

Red cables, pedals and grips are optional ;)

Clem is definitely the best candidate out there for electrification.  The 
most ergonomic, comfortable, durable and practical utility bike with some 
power assist.  The utility factor goes up 5x.

Do they make a 700c wheel? - The red would go well on a Betty Foy.

[RBW] Adding Seatpost QR to Riv

[Clayton.sf]

Hi All,

Has anyone successfully added a Quick Release Seatpost binder to a 
Rivendell frame?

I feel like I know what I need in general. QR that is long/short enough 
that mates with the nut on the other side and some spacers/washers that fit 
into the space where the hex bolt head usually sits. What I don't (yet) 
know is what exactly I should use. If anyone has setup that they like 
particularly well let me know. It will likely save me some trial and error.

With the wheel, I actually liked the look with the red bag you had

[RBW] San Diego Bike Rides

[Bicycle Belle Ding Ding!]

Hi Friends,

Last year you all made great recommendations for a family bike adventure and we 
had the best time biking The Strand. It was scenic with the ocean just there, 
and there was lots of activity and also great lunch spots. I really can’t thank 
you enough!

We get a holiday on Friday, so we are planning to run away from home again and 
point our vehicle in the direction of California. We are going to hit Sea World 
for the day on Friday but Saturday is wide open. Except for our standing coffee 
date, of course (hoping for Bird Rock in La Jolla). I’m looking online at bike 
routes that would be fun, but if there are any of you who know a thing or two 
about San Diego and want to pitch your route, I’d love to hear! We will want a 
path that takes us out of traffic (like a paved path inaccessible to cars) 
since our two sons will be with us. Ocean or nature views are our jam. 

One last thing. For those of you who do not have spouses/SOs who share your 
bike passion, let me tell you there is hope. This upcoming trip is 100% my 
husband’s idea. (I actually tried to talk him out of bringing our bikes because 
I fear they will be stolen.) My husband never cared a thing for bikes, but it 
was my birthday so I got to choose our activity and I chose biking in CA. We 
rented him an ebike when we rode The Strand, and as a former motorcycle guy, he 
LOVED it. It was the perfect compromise. When we got home he found a smoking 
deal on a Pedego Intercepter. It’s so ugly. He got panniers, a speaker, and a 
phone mount and he now rides with me all over creation with the condition that 
he gets to control the playlist. Mostly, we like Saturday morning bike rides 
into town for coffee. He came home last week laden with shopping bags and 
proclaimed from the foyer, “I’ve got good news! I bought a new wardrobe for our 
Saturday coffee dates!” 

[RBW] FS: Minoura tool tray and seatpost grabber, CHEAP!

[Joe Bernard]

I bought these from Riv a while back in what I think was a bout of padding for 
free shipping or spending money there just to spend it..maybe both. The tray 
doesn't fit my Park stand (it's not designed to), the grabber works with 
everything, I just don't seem to need either. 

Tray $5 plus shipping
Grabber $10 plus shipping 
Both in one box $10 plus

[Joe Bernard]

Indeed, Ryan, one thing I like about its extreme noticeability is I don't feel 
like I'm lying when I pass some poor carbon roadie wondering why that old guy 
on a step-thru just blew by him. The wheel says "I have a motor, I'm not trying 
to pull one over on you, Lance!"

[RBW] Re: eClem again

['Abcyclehank' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Joe, 

I agree with Roberta it definitely looks like it belongs on the Clem L.  The 
red is definitely attention generating initially I thought a more subdued color 
would be desired.
Now the color symbolizes for me that the owner is a bike lover first but open 
to enhancing their riding experience whether out of need or desire.  In my 
opinion the pedal assist nature of the Copenhagen Wheel separates into a 
completely different e-bike than throttle based versions.

[RBW] Re: Riding and then mountaineering

[velomann]

Earlier this year Bikeportland shared this story about some friends who 
rode from Portland to Timberline Lodge, climbed Mount Hood, and returned to 
Portland: 
https://bikeportland.org/2019/02/26/from-portland-to-the-summit-of-mt-hood-and-back-by-bike-and-boot-and-ski-296114

It's been done before. I recall many years ago Dr. Cameron Bangs - a local 
internist and at the time probably the world expert in treating 
hyperthermia/hypothermia - rode from the Ross Island Bridge in Portland to 
Mount Hood, climbed, and returned. I seem to recall his time was ungodly 
fast, like 12 hours, but I could be wrong. I do remember he said he climbed 
in golf shoes (to save weight) and said he thought he could do it faster 
but he ran into sloppy snow conditions. I can't find anything about it on 
the interwebs, and sadly Dr Bangs passed away in 2015.

I've summited Hood many times, but have not (yet) done it without driving. 
It's such an iconic part of our skyline that I think any local resident in 
reasonable fitness should climb it at least once in their life; you'll 
never look at the mountain the same way again.

[RBW] Re: Fall Ride Recommendations outside NYC?

[Brad]

Hi Mark! You were the one who tipped me off that the ride was possible. I 
was prepared to pay the $20 to pass through Mohonk but I rode on a Friday 
afternoon and I never found a place to pay. Even at $20, it's a great ride. 
One possible issue:  Mohonk and Minnewaska are busy on the weekends during 
leaf-peeping season and you'll share the trails with a lot of walkers. If 
you can ride during the week, the trails are empty.

Awesome. I love seeing all the things people do with their bikes.

[RBW] Re: steerstopper experiment

[Julian Westerhout]

Tom, 

I've been using  Steerstoppers on my 64 cm Clem H and our Bilenky tandem 
for a couple of years. They're pricy, as you noyed, but they work great. I 
use the clem for commuting and shopping with a basket and shopsack, and the 
Steerstopper prevents bar swing, bike tipping, etc.

[RBW] Re: Simple, but Dumb, Question

[ascpgh]

No.

No dumb questions here. Someone just pointed out last week how there are so 
many standards that it's hard to pick one. If all the swirling ideas that 
reach manufacturing produce anything, it'll be questions. Even for brake 
mounting fixtures attached to the frame and fork. 

Jan Heine (of Rene Herse Cycles, Bicycle Quarterly, reader and contributor 
here) just posted a blog entry about brake formats: 
https://janheine.wordpress.com

Not square on the head of your question, but enough context in the 
differentiation between cantilever and dedicated center mount  post 
locations to answer it.

Thanks so much Takashi! Very inspiring. I have been wanting to visit Japan 
for years! Hope I can make it happen in the next 5.
