Hi Nathan,

No secret - I just searched "roaduno" using the search (magnifying glass 
icon) on rivbike.com.

Re: [RBW] Ride suggestions for San Diego area

[Michael Williams]

Thanks Curtis and Robert for the ride suggestions.  These seem like a great 
start.   I actually did ride Elfin Forest yesterday and the climb up was steep 
and hike a bike but one you get up there you’re sort of riding a ridge line.   
One thing that is new to me in SoCal cycling are goatheads. I’ve seen posts 
about them. I must have 10 in each tire but tires didn’t go flat until I 
started pulling them out when I was done the ride.  I’m excited to explore the 
area and experience different terrain.

Re: [RBW] Re: ROADUNO - a new singlespeed!

[Nathan F]

Interesting points all, and thanks to Ian for linking that (secret? I could 
only find it via search) in-progress webpage. I too am hoping for shorter 
chain stays, Grant comparing it to the Hillborne/Homer is good news in that 
regard. After some further reflection the one thing I'm not a huge fan of 
is the name. Is "Roaduno" supposed to be a play on "Roadini?" Maybe it's 
that any name is going to fall flat when compared to Platypus?

Robert, 120mm is great because of all the existing wheelsets available. 
After the fixie craze a decade a go high-quality track parts are CHEAP. 
Modern rims and spokes built up by a competent mechanic won't have any 
issues. So I think they made the right call there. Not to mention 120mm is 
10mm lighter than 130mm 

I'm really tempted by this one. A month ago it would've been an easy 
purchase but I acquired a free White eccentric hub the other day and the 
financially prudent thing to do would be to install it on my '18 Hillborne. 
That's not quite as fun though, you know?

Re: [RBW] Re: ROADUNO - a new singlespeed!

[Robert Hakim]

I’m curious why they went/will go with a 120mm spacing. Correct me if I’m 
wrong, but it seems like 130 would allow for a larger variety hub options. 
In theory, wouldn’t a 130mm SS-specific hub have slightly wider flanges 
thus allowing for a stronger wheel build?

[RBW] Re: Stolen: Silver Clem L 59 SS (NYC)

[Mark Roland]

 


Sorry about this. Unfortunately, loaded up with all those special goodies, 
if it gets into the hands of someone who knows bikes, it might get chopped, 
especially if they know it was stolen.  Hopefully your homeowners insurance 
can compensate you since it was on your property?

Re: [RBW] Wanted: Appaloosa 60cm pics with big tires, thoughts on upright riding position

[David Hays]

Does anybody know if these, the 2.25 Maxxis Ikons will fit on Pacenti Brevet or 
inexpensive ZAC 650B rims?
Looking to make a change on my 51 Appaloosa.
Thanks.

[RBW] Re: ROADUNO - a new singlespeed!

[Berkeleyan]

How will it be different than a QuickBeam? That's more of a rhetorical 
question, maybe just asking what was there to improve on a QB that a R1 
will get right? My 66cm QuickBeam (Orange) already has *adjustable* wheel 
base, is fully lugged, and has proved versatile enough for a loaded S24O, a 
55 mile Brevet, all my local grocery shopping and restaurant dinner takeout 
pickup. I know, it's just the RBW "way" for bike models (apart from 
Atlantis) to have limited runs, frames that carry their cachet for 
years/decades beyond their end-of-run date. I'm  never letting go of my QB, 
but I hope the R1 is an awesome frame that sells like begeezus.

- Andrew, Berkeley

p.s. It took me a while to get the new sticker - "nothing" is greater than 
a bicycle!

It looks great. So far the colours are more along the lines of green and

[RBW] Re: FS: Bikes on eBay, CraigsLIst, and Other Sites

[Nathan F]

Seems like they cleaned it up a bit and added compass tires and wipers (the 
ones in the original listing look like they were dry rotted and no good). 
Wouldn't be surprised if there was some other mechanical issues that needed 
sorting. Should move quick in a hot market like SF!

https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/bop/d/seattle-nitto-rack-front-campee-34f/7244039700.html

this looks to be a pretty good deal, for anyone in the Seattle-area. 
Especially if you could get them down to under $100.

Re: [RBW] Re: Stolen: Silver Clem L 59 SS (NYC)

[Roberta]

I have seen stolen bike notices posted in the bikes for sale on 
Craigslist.  Perhaps a notice for a few weeks will help others keep an eye 
out for your bike.  This way if they see it, they'll have a way to contact 
you thru CL.

I'd also keep an eye out on eBay, internet bike for sale internet sites and 
pawn shops.

I got a bike stolen about 30 years ago.  It amazes me that someone would 
just take what doesn't belong to him/her and that I worked so hard to buy.  
I never did get it back.  I do hope you get yours back.

[RBW] Re: 7 Speed to 9 Speed Conversion Question

[Bill Lindsay]

Brian

As with many things, how things go will depend on the details

You say that the bike is running 7sp hyperglide right now.  That would 
suggest a 126mm rear hub.  You claim the rear hub is a FH-1055, which is a 
126mm stock rear hub.  But then you go on to claim that the rear hub is 
130mm spacing.  

So, is it a FH1055 that somebody swapped the axle to 130mm later?
Is it a FH-1055 that somebody later swapped the axle and the freehub body 
to make it 8/9/10 speed compatible, but continued to run a 7sp cassette 
with a spacer, just for kicks?
Or is it actually a 126mm rear hub?

If it really is a 7sp cassette running on there, with no spacer, then a 9sp 
cassette just wont fit on that hub.  I think that's your first step.  
Remove the existing cassette and look at what you actually have.  Take a 
picture and share it if you need advice.  If your rear hub doesn't have the 
right freehub body to take your 9-speed cassette then you may be stuck.  
Sheldon Brown has the unambiguous photos of the different cassette bodies.

Re: [RBW] Ride suggestions for San Diego area

[Bill Schairer]

Sweetwater Summit Park has some trails and a fair amount of the Sweetwater 
River trail (at eastern end) is unpaved.
Most of Proctor Valley Rd is unpaved and connects into Millar Ranch Rd or 
Echo Valley Rd on the SE side of 
 San Miguel Mountain.
Otay Valley Regional Park has a little bit that ties into the Southern end 
of the Bayshore Bikeway which also ties into the western end, paved portion 
of the Sweetwater River bike path.  The Bayshore Bikeway with a ferry ride 
to/from Coronado makes for a nice ride, albeit paved, around the bay.
The afore mentioned military land can be accessed if one obtains a one year 
permit at Miramar Naval Air Station for the Stowe Trail.  It is a nice link 
between Santee  and Scripps Poway Parkway.(Santee Lakes - Sycamore Canyon)

[RBW] 7 Speed to 9 Speed Conversion Question

[Brian Campbell]

Hi. 

I am helping a friend with a Kestrel 200 sc that is currently set up with 
7-speed down tube shifters. It is a 7 speed Hyperglide cassette on a 105 
level Shimano 105, FH-1055 rear hub and the rear spacing is 130mm.

He wants to covert it to bar end shifters and provided me with a set of 9 
speed, indexed Microshift bar end shifters.

I am wondering if it is possible to to simply swap in a 9 speed cassette?

Also, for anyone who might know, the rear derailleur in a 105, RD-1055 what 
is the max cog size for that the RD can handle? 26 or 28?

Thanks!

Re: [RBW] Re: Stolen: Silver Clem L 59 SS (NYC)

[Bill Schairer]

I recovered a stolen Trek 720 because of a bikeindex.org listing.  It took 
over a year and it was trashed but I got it back.  Good luck.  The silver 
lining of that theft was that it gave me the needed excuse to buy my 
Atlantis.

The title states it. I'm looking for a set of DC188 reverse brake levers. 
They are supposed to fit ID 18-20mm, if you have some I need that 
confirmed.  Maybe someone bought a set and has no use for it, etc.
