Re: [RBW] Bike shorts/ Liners

Patrick, I’m kicking myself, I had 2 pair of Kuchariks and purged all of my
shorts when I thought my riding days were over.  I may have even sold them
on the forum I just don’t remember.

 Very thin. Benefit for me is that they stop friction between skin and bike 
shorts. Helps a lot on longer rides.

Re: [RBW] Bike shorts/ Liners

Steve, I just got a pair of those and like them. A tad mor pad would be ok
but they are nice shorts.  There was a thread on shorts, these were
recommended.  Thanks.

Re: [RBW] Bike shorts/ Liners

2020-07-28 Thread Fullylugged

Patrick:

 Kucharik still offers genuine leather chamois as a $26.50 upcharge in their 
shorts. Chheck out their wool and Helenca shorts.

To the OP:   Zoic sells a variety of shorts liners with various pad thickness.  
I usually wear an unpadded under layer of lycra with silver ions under an 
unpadded wool short, but sometime on long rides I want a little padding. Then  
use a Zoic liner under my shorts.

[RBW] Re: Suggestions for powerful, silver, light, 57 mm-reach front caliper brake for fixed gear

Sorry, Mitch, the toe strap is too minimalist and idiosyncratic even for
me.

As an aside, I could flip myself over the bar with the (properly set up)
RGCs with salmons, and I very much like the way they feel, so I suppose
they are all I really want.

[RBW] Re: Suggestions for powerful, silver, light, 57 mm-reach front caliper brake for fixed gear

Thanks, all. I'm surprised that the response to the Grand Cru sidepulls has
been so tepid, as they got rave reviews in BQ and by someone on this list
-- Mark Chandler? -- on his gravel blog. But good warning about the
aluminum torx nut.

Before I remove these from the top of my list, does anyone else want to
pipe up in their favor?

I used Tektro 539s on the 2003 Riv, for a while, and was very underwhelmed.
And I don't care for the extra hardware required for centerpulls, at least
on this most spare of builds.

Now that I corrected the silly problem that in turn allowed me to adjust
the brake arm play and lock it in properly, I'm much more inclined just to
stick with the RGCs, which are suprisingly powerful, modulate very well,
look very nice and, more, fit the bike's aesthetic, and, well, don't
require more $ or work. Yes, salmons.

Again, thanks, all.

[RBW] Re: Appaloosa & Atlantis Toe Overlap

2020-07-28 Thread Ryan M.

I ride a 51cm Appaloosa and am 5'7" tall on the best of days and have a 
size 9 shoe and ride with platform pedals pretty much ball of the foot. 
I've never experienced toe overlap on that bike. I did experience it on my 
Sam Hillborne, but not the Roadeo I had.

Re: [RBW] Bike shorts/ Liners

Does anyone still make wool shorts with chamois liners? I also hate the
huge thick pads in many lycra shorts, but I've worn old Kuchariks under
Rapha touring shorts and found them very comfortable. But my wool/chamois
shorts are quite old.

I have been on the hunt for bike shorts or liners that had just that small 
 chamois like they had about 12 years ago. The only things I can find now 
have a huge bad in the bottom that make it a very uncomfortable experience

[RBW] Re: Suggestions for powerful, silver, light, 57 mm-reach front caliper brake for fixed gear

2020-07-28 Thread Drw

First time using the new interface. apologies if it's weird. 

Ill concur that the paul racer's are definitely a step above. ive had a 
number of sidepulls, and they were all decent, but the pauls feel much 
grabbier (a good thing for center/sidepulls in my mind) and better at the 
lever. 

I like paul stuff, but try to be realistic about actual performance 
benefits. ex. ive had motolites and deore level shimano v brakes on a 
couple bikes and the differences are minor, for me. The racer centerpull 
definitely felt like a worthy upgrade from tektro sidepulls when i did it.

anecdotally, because the situation wasnt normal braking, the one time i 
almost launched myself over the bars was on a bike with Paul Racers. and i 
have bikes with v brakes and discs.

2020-07-28 Thread Andrew Turner

I got that one for a song on eBay. As pictured, that was one of the nicest 
riding bikes I owned and I have a little regret letting it go but it 
definitely had it's drawbacks. Clearances were tight going to 650b. 38mm 
tires were the absolute max and you could forget about fenders. There were 
also no drain holes to be found which made me even more fearful of water 
somehow making its way into the frame with no way back out. 

Your name sounds familiar, if you're a member of the BCC Slack, you might 
be remembering it from there. I left a while ago because I have 0 self 
control when it comes to social media...hints my private little island of a

Bike Insights will help you visualize and it calculates the distance from 
the pedal spindle to the tire. You can change tire size with the little 
wrench tool. Note: I have found mistakes in the Rivendell data for stack, 
reach and standover, so be wary.

This link should be a 55cm Hilsen vs a 54cm Appaloosa, but play with the

[RBW] Re: Paul Netro-Retro Cantilevers & Straddle Cable Height: where is your happy place?

2020-07-28 Thread 'John Phillips' via RBW Owners Bunch

Thanks Laing,  I will check out changing the spacers & washers up like you 
suggest. I don't know if I have much more range to move the pads higher to 
make this work. The Touring Canti's on my back wheel look like they may 
have a bit more range for that kind of tweaking, but definitely worth a try.

What everyone's said so far is confirming my nagging suspicion that I need 
to fork out for a set of Touring Cant's for the front wheel. 

It's not a great habit to have, but I've braked mostly with the back wheel 
since I was a kid. Where I grew up, our roads were mostly bad asphalt or 
decomposed granite, and covered in pine needles & oak leaves in winter with 
fog or rain all year. If you locked up your front wheel on leaves or gravel 
or wet asphalt, you might hit some dry asphalt and fly over your bars. I've 
tried to break the habit for years, but haven't gotten there yet.
Thanks,
John

You understand the MA math correctly.  there's a steep part of the curve

[RBW] Re: Suggestions for powerful, silver, light, 57 mm-reach front caliper brake for fixed gear

2020-07-28 Thread Paul Brodek

Reposting from ibob

If you can deal with centerpull, Paul Racer Medium for the win. The caliper 
itself is as light, or a tad lighter, than some of the dual-pivots, though 
the extra cabling/stops likely makes it heavier overall. Still, no beating 
that stopping.

It has been a very long time since I rode with vintage centerpulls, so I 
can't delve into that species.

After centerpull, comes dual-pivot. My heirarchy for 49-59mm dual-pivot 
calipers, in order of niceness/performance, is:

1. VO Grand Cru
2. TRP RG957
3. Shimano R650
4. Shimano R600
5. Tektro R539

All of these, with equivalently good brake shoes, will stop better for me 
than an equivalent single-pivot caliper.

The two Shimano calipers are pretty much identical, the earlier R600 
doesn't have brake shoe toe-in washers stock. I think maybe the qr mech is 
a little different? 

VO has the stiffest arms, TRP is close. Shimano not too far behind. Tektro 
always seem kinda flexy and squishy to me, comparatively. And though the 
Tektros definitely stop fine, they also feel cheaper overall, have a 
clunkier/wonkier qr mech as well.

To those who are sensitive to cable pull issues, you may want to explore 
further which calipers work better with which levers. 

Miche also made, or maybe still makes, a longer-reach dual-pivot caliper. I 
remember thinking about snagging a set some years back, just to check 'em 
out, but never did.

2020-07-28 Thread 'John Phillips' via RBW Owners Bunch

So maybe the question I should be asking is, if you're happy with your Paul 
Neo-Retro's, what rims and brake pads are you using???

   I could be completely confused by the math, but it looks to me as though 
there is a curve to the response of wider profile canti's to straddle 
height, but that curve in the response is so low, I would have to put the 
straddle cable though the middle of my tire, at least if I'm trying to 
match the braking of my Touring Cant's in the rear. And I don't believe 
this solution would work out for me in my situation. 

   Thanks Bill, I'm guessing the stock Shimano pads were black compound 
pads? I'm also using Cliffhanger rims, mine are the plain silver ones, but 
I was also thinking about trying out either the black or the dual 
black/salmon Kool-Stops to see if they exorcised the shrieking banshees in 
my bike.

[RBW] Re: Paul Netro-Retro Cantilevers & Straddle Cable Height: where is your happy place?

2020-07-28 Thread lconley

My understanding of the math is that the shorter and straighter the 
transverse cable, the more mechanical advantage for both wide angle 
(Neo-Retro) and medium angle (Touring) cantilevers, just more so for the 
medium angle, but it still helps the wide angle. If you have both, put the 
Touring cantilevers on the front where most of the braking is done and 
the Neo-Retros on the rear.

The distance between the arm and the pad is also important, make sure that 
the narrow spacers are on the inside between the pad and arm and the wide 
spacers are on the outside of the arm, I believe that this is more 
important on the Neo-Retro wide angle models. This rotates the wide angle 
arm up so that its geometry is ever so slightly closer to the medium angle 
arm geometry.

[RBW] Re: Paul Netro-Retro Cantilevers & Straddle Cable Height: where is your happy place?

The math indicates that all wide profile cantilevers have a very flat 
response to straddle height.  In other words straddle height doesn't matter 
with Paul Neo-Retros.  If that's the only variable you change you'll 
probably get frustrated because the result won't change much.  If they feel 
great, lucky you because small changes in straddle height will leave them 
feeling great.  If they feel lousy, bummer, because you may feel like you 
are "fiddling" all day and nothing is changing.  

The math indicates that all narrow profile cantilevers have a very steep 
response to straddle height.  In other words straddle height is super 
important with Paul Touring Cantilevers.  If you change straddle height to 
avoid your front rack you may get frustrated because the resulting brake 
feel will change completely.  

I've got lots of set up experience with both, but neither is in my current 
stable.  I also find that the rim/brakepad interaction is terribly 
underrated.  Too many people think koolstop salmon solves all problems, and 
I've found that is not necessarily the case.  Virtually nobody talks about 
the rim as a contributor, save as a consumable wear-item.  I think some 
rims make poor brake rotors, and I know some rim/brakepad combos are not 
good.  

My anectdote, which is no more than an anectdote, is my 650B Atlantis.  I 
chose to run black Cliffhangers (from Riv) because Riv runs them on alot of 
builds and I trust them.  I blindly upgraded the stock Shimano pads in CX70 
brakes to KoolStop salmon inserts and the braking sucked (for lack of a 
better word).  They went from nothing to grabby, and the only thing that 
modulated was the pitch of the howl.  Please take my word for it, I know 
how to set up brakes.  I blamed in part the black anodized non-machined 
sidewalls of the Cliffhanger rims.  Rather than buy new rims to prove my 
own diagnosis, I switched back to the stock Shimano pads and everything was 
remarkably improved.  From howling to silent, from grabby to controllable 
modulation.  Now the braking is among the best I've used.  So for that 
machine, KoolStop salmons were the wrong choice.  Your mileage may vary.

[RBW] Paul Netro-Retro Cantilevers & Straddle Cable Height: where is your happy place?

2020-07-28 Thread 'John Phillips' via RBW Owners Bunch

Hi, my question is:

  * If, and only if, you are happy with your Paul Neo-Retros, what is the 
height of your straddle cable / cable carrier in relation to the pivots of 
your brakes?*
  
   I'm trying on adjust my Neo-Retro canti's to brake as well, or close to 
as well, as the Paul Touring cant's I have on the back of my Hunqapillar.  
I'm using Paul Canti levers with both. I've read through the info on the 
Black Mountain Cycles blog, and the pdf document Mike Varley has a link to, 
but I'm still not getting the braking I'm hoping for. I'd like to keep the 
straddle cable at least high enough to clear the hole in my fork crown, and 
the Nitto front rack mounted there, if only for safety's sake.

   I've read here that some people found Neo-Retro's frustrating, but some 
people love them. So, I'm hoping your anecdotes and testimonials will point 
me in the right direction, 'cause I'm puzzled.

Thanks for your help,
John

This just in: Fixed loosening locknut problem by fixing another. What it is
I am ashamed to reveal on list. But the RGC caliper seems to be back to

But, still interested in hearing your opinions about your favorite front

I only did the card in the spokes one but that orange bike has a seat like

[RBW] Suggestions for powerful, silver, light, 57 mm-reach front caliper brake for fixed gear

I'm curious about alternatives to the RG Comp single pivot for the (single,
front) brake for my 1999 Riv fixed gear. The RGC stops well and modulates
well but has a habit of loosening, and the allen-head locknut is, as I
discovered again yesterday, very finicky to tighten correctly -- I don't
seem to be able to tighten firmly it against the pivot nut without binding
the arms; IOW, I have to leave the allen locknut loose (applied blue
Loctite, though).

Therefore the question: If you were relying on a single front caliper, and
you like old fashioned and silver, what would you install?

In particular, the VO G Cru long-reaches:
(
https://velo-orange.com/collections/brakes/products/grand-cru-long-reach-brakes
)

Note: Prefer allen head, but nutted will be considered.

I do like dual pivots overall for their power and ease of setup, but too
many look klunky and bulky. The VOs aren't bad; what do you-plural think of
them?

And: If you each individually should have a nice such brake to sell, please
do tell me. In particular, if you have a front VO G Cru in silver to sell,
I'm interested; I don't want to buy a $170 pair if I don't have to.

(And: Refresh my memory: Can I use a nutted rear in front with a longish
allen nut? I think I can, but please confirm.)

Thanks.

[RBW] Re: Appaloosa & Atlantis Toe Overlap

Hello Bill.

This is incredibly helpful, thank you. I love the overlap photos. I just 
went out to my bikes and did some measuring, and comparing with your images 
is helpful. From what I can see the new 54 Appaloosa has almost identical 
front-center as your older 55. So it may have the same issue as yours for 
me, too. Actually the specs are identical except the TT is a smidge lower.

Atlantis is way out there!

Best.

[RBW] Re: Bike Racks, non hitch recommendations.

2020-07-28 Thread Jack K

Hi all,

Likely not a good choice for Joel, since he's mentioned only needing 
occasional use, but I thought I'd mention a rack that appears to fill a 
unique niche in the marketplace and was the only cost effective solution I 
found for my rack needs ...  The Thule Raceway Platform PRO 2 is a bumper 
mount rack that uses trays to carry 2 bikes, like many hitch racks do; this 
thing:
https://www.thule.com/en-us/bike-rack/trunk-bike-racks/thule-raceway-platform-pro-2-_-1685475

I wanted a hitch mount rack, but the cheapest hitch I could find for my 
vehicle was $800+, then another $300+ for the rack, which doesn't seem like 
a prudent investment on a 15 year old car. Supporting the weight of a bike 
on it's wheels makes a lot more sense to me than creating a couple of point 
loads not far from the center of the bike's top tube, which most trunk 
mount racks do. In my case the bike I wanted to transport doesn't have a 
top tube, so trays were preferred, if not required. I'm not aware of 
another tray style rack that's also bumper mount, so I was pretty excited 
to find this model Thule. Not cheap, but I found mine for $300 brand new, 
in the box, so there are deals out there. 

I also have a Saris Bones 2 rack that I've had for 15-ish years and still 
use to transport my tandem occasionally. People seem to love the Bones and 
it was state of the art 20 years ago, but if you compare the methods and 
materials it uses to secure the bicycle(s) to the rack and the rack to the 
car it's apparent that rack technology has continued to advance and racks 
like my Thule Raceway Pro Platform or other premium models are in a 
different league. They'll cost more than a Bones, even used, but after 
having my prized Bridgestone RB-1's top-tube damaged on a older "hang by 
the top-tube" rack a couple of years ago I'm willing to spend a bit for a 
rack that better protects my bike, my car and my nerves. 

-Jack

[RBW] Re: Appaloosa & Atlantis Toe Overlap

Paul

I had a 55 first run Appaloosa.  The only major shortcoming of the 55 
Appaloosa for me was the TCO, and my opinion that it should have been a 
650B bike.  My every day commute involved two spots where I would have to 
execute a tight weave through the access gate to a bike path, and at both 
spots I'd kick the fender hard.  

I have the first run MIT 650B Atlantis.  My test-ride with Grant was 
immortalized in a Blagh post 
https://www.rivbike.com/blogs/peeking-through-the-knothole/post-holiday

The first run 56cm 650B Atlantis does not have TCO for me.  I actually did 
a small photo-essay of the TCO situation of my entire stable:  
https://www.flickr.com/photos/45758191@N04/albums/72157713520401717  

I think the even-more-current Atlantis and Appaloosa may avoid TCO as well, 
with an even longer front-center.  Those bikes will require some sort of 
swept back bar for most riders.  My Atlantis is that brief combo that has a 
short enough top tube to run drop bars, and 650B wheels to avoid TCO.  For 
those reasons, it's my perfect Atlantis.  I wouldn't change a thing.

[RBW] Blog post about my Blériot

2020-07-28 Thread Aaron Russell

Hey there, long-time lurker here. I started a blog about my randonneuring
activity late last year, and decided to write a post centered on the
Rivendell Blériot that I bought on eBay from a seller in Arizona back in
2009 and have been riding ever since. Thought I'd share it with this list
in case anyone wants to check it out. Also if anyone on here happens to
have been the original seller, the bike sure worked out great! (The post
includes the text of the original listing.)

https://rando12051.com/bleriot/

Cheers, Aaron

 I'd be interested in hearing about the differences, too. I owned a 
 blue-era Ram; nice bike. For some reason I got the impression that the 
 Roadini had rather stout tubing, like that of the Sam Hillborne, for 
 example, but I can't back up that opinion. My 2 questions:

 How does handling differ, if it does?

 How does "ease of pedaling"* differ, if it does?

 *This is how I judge which bikes I like to ride: the "nice" ones feel 
 easier to pedal, as measured by the desire to shift to a smaller cog in 
 given conditions.

[RBW] WTB pavement-oriented Riv (78 PBH)

I've been looking into getting a new Roadini, but before I'm do, I'm 
curious if anyone has anything they'd like to part with

My PBH is 78, so I'd be a 50cm in the Roadinis or 47.5cm in the MIT AHHs. 
Not sure about the older models.

[RBW] Weird handlebar idea

2020-07-28 Thread Zack Medow

Ok so for me the perfect road handlebar would allow me to run drop bar break 
levers in the typical way for “endurance” riding, then with back sweep to allow 
me to sit up and change my back angle. Basically I’m visualizing this as an 
albastache bar but with the break levers vertical instead of horizontal. Or 
like a dirt drop, but with all the hand positions existing on the same plane. 

I could see how you’d do this by bending the tubes down in the way you 
typically would on a drop bar, and then sideways and back for the sit-up 
position. Has anyone ever seen a bar like this? Is this a very stupid idea?

Re: [RBW] Appaloosa & Atlantis Toe Overlap

Hi Patrick.

Thanks for the suggestion. 

I generally don't mind toe overlap either, especially on bikes I'm using 
for ore aggressive rides. However this is a city bike that has Bosco bars 
on it and I sit straight up, and in this position there is just a tendency 
to have your feet move further forward some of the time. I think it's just 
the posture that makes TO a bit more of an issue than it would otherwise.

The frame is slightly big on me as well, which is the main reason I'm 
considering replacing it anyway. Just wondering if people generally find TO 
an issue on either of those other models?

Thanks.

Re: [RBW] Appaloosa & Atlantis Toe Overlap

Just a suggestion, and fwiw: You might try living and riding with TO and
see if you adapt. I've been riding bikes with TO/TCO for decades with no
problems, even for years commuting on fixed gears with TO and with fenders
making even more TO, this often in busy urban traffic, and never had an
accident; and currently have a dirt road bike that, with 60 mm tires almost
30" tall and wide fenders over those give almost 3" of TO; again, never
fallen due to TO even on sketchy sandy surfaces. Note that I don't do
technical singletrack on any bike with TO/TCO.

There was TO on my Ram, too even before I added fenders.

All this FWIW.

I use 6 speeds.  I may have one 7 speed in my stash but have not been

Re: [RBW] Re: Can you safely convert a 126/130 hub to 135?

PS: I mean "re-dish" my wheels, not "relish". Relishing my wheels would 
have been awkward in that the pickles and whatnot would have got stuck in 
the drivetrain.

Re: [RBW] Re: Can you safely convert a 126/130 hub to 135?

Yes Joel, it's self-centering in that you're adding equal amount of 
space on both sides. If all of this had required a re-dish I'd have never 
done it as that is not something I'd EVER do to an already well built 
wheel. 

   I'm assuming you are using a similar freewheel in width to the one that 
was there, yes ? A 7-speed ?  I'm mentioning this as nowadays with the 
E-bike craze I see 8,9 and 10 speed FW's all of which I'm assuming would be 
wider than the 7, hence there may not be enough room to clear the dropout 
on an assembly like this. I've never seen those mega FW's in person though 
to measure so I can't say for sure.

I just converted an old White Industries MI5 hub from 130 to 135 so it'd

Does anyone have toe overlap issues on a Joe Appaloosa with fat 50-ish 
tires and fenders?
How about the first run MIT 650B Atlantis?

I have big Sneakers (13) but am not terribly tall (5’11) and find overlap 
to be an issue on my 700c Homer with 40c tires and fenders. The tips of all 
my sneakers have run marks and I find myself hitting the fenders now 
frequently. So am thinking about switching things around and trying to hunt 
up a different model frame to use as a fast townie. 

I do ride on the balls of my feet, not my heels.  

Thank you!
