[RBW] Friction 1x11

2021-01-09 Thread Sam Perez
Any one have any experience with a friction 1x set up ? I'm really curious,
but was discouraged bc I've herd anything above an 8s suffers on friction
mode, is there a shifters that would be adequate and is the shifting more
fussy ?

Thanks

Re: [RBW] Re: Weight question / I'm obviously confused

2021-01-09 Thread Michael Williams
Jim,  several years ago I had a double TT 64cm Atlantis that I took on a tour 
up around the Olympic peninsula. It also was a touch too large for me.   In 
touring mode I had it loaded up with a Pass and Stow front rack with a basket 
on top and two medium sized low rider front panniers. On the rear I had a 
medium saddle sack that sat on a Nitto r-14 rack.It was probably  75/25 ; 
front/ rear weight distribution.   That bike rode awesome( to me) in that 
configuration.Leaving an empty-ish camp one morning on a quiet stretch of 
road,  I rode no handed for ~7miles on a gently curvy road. It felt smooth and 
in control.  (. There were mile markers and when solo on the road sometimes you 
make games for yourself).   I’ll never forget that.  Just anecdotally 
reiterating your experience that sometimes a bike can feel better with some 
weight.-Mike

2021-01-09 Thread James Whorton
Thanks for the ideas and observations, everyone.  I will try lowering the
tire pressure tomorrow.  New tires soon, too.

Jason and Mark, I think you are right that the Clem *ought* to fit me.  By
the numbers it does.  My favorite bike to ride around town is an old
mountain bike with a 53cm seat tube that ought to be too small for me, but
it's sprightly and a lot of fun to ride.

I'm not sure why I picked up the pipe, Jason.  It seemed like a good pipe.

Jim

I doubt the pipe is doing much for your Clem other than perhaps 
contributing to some beausage on your top tube. The bike certainly doesn't 
seem like it would be too big for a 6'1"--Grant runs a 59 Clem and he is 
under six foot. 

I never changed the Kendas on my OC (Original Clementine) and yeah they 
were a little sluggish, though not the end of the world. On my El Clem, I 
went with Rene Herse Switchback Hill EL. Pretty dreamy. I would never 
describe a Clem as a lumbering hulk, though, so your mileage may vary.  
Before getting a smaller bike I would drop a buck sixty on some fancy tires

When you install new tires check the tire pressure. You might be surprised are 
how much difference that makes. The added weight of the pipe could be giving 
you the same effect that lower tire pressure. 

Also I just want to point out that it is a very respectably weird thing to see 
a big pipe and decide to strap it to your bike. :)  Did I miss something in 
your original post? What was the logic sequence there?

I do still have the Kwik Nines on there.  I've been thinking about changing 
them...guess I should.  Sometimes on smooth pavement I get a drum roll 
effect that I believe is caused by the tread pattern on those tires.

Sounds like I should keep the pipe and add a kid or two, though?  Joe, 
thanks for that term, "road-hugging weight."  That's just how it felt.

[RBW] Re: Weight question / I'm obviously confused

2021-01-09 Thread dougP
My Atlantis has a much softer, more cushy ride with 20-30 lbs of weight.  
The cost is slower acceleration & generally more effort.  

OTH, I've ridden the long wheelbase Atlantis & even unloaded it rides 
noticeably softer than my 2003.  The longer chainstays probably account for 
that.

Makes sense to me. I ride around with two kids on my bike all the time 
(first an Appaloosa with one kid in front and one in back, now a Clem L 
with an xtracycle). They both cruise like Impalas. On the other end I 
stripped the stock wheels off my Clem H and put on some cliffhangers + 
thunderburts tubeless and saw a night and day improvement in handling while 
unloaded. Please let us know what else you decide to tie to your bicycle. 
Brilliant.

Your gorgeous Clem is showing a similar effect. Put more bags and stuff on

I just love seeing your bike and everyone else's.  Gives me so many ideas!  

The rack is very sophisticated looking.  I might need to think which rack

2021-01-09 Thread Joe Bernard
I love that rack. When you started on this project of getting one that 
wouldn't obscure the taillight, I figured it was going to kind of hide the 
look even if you could visibly see the light at night. Nope! It hovers just 
above and slightly in front of the light so you see the whole aesthetic 
vibe that was there before. Oy, I can tell that doesn't make sense. I liked 
the fender/light look and it's still there!

Speaking of such matters (I bought that rack, too, and love it), Riv needs 
to update the photos on the site to show how minimalist and whispy it is. 
All their pics show it mounted on the front and it looks HUGE.

Pair of tires.  Ridden once.  I hate the orange color, thought it was going

$75 shipped, or $70 if you are somewhere on the BART line.

[RBW] Bicycle brake toe-in with James May from Top Gear

Hi,

Perhaps there are some fans of Top Gear from BBC on this board. Here is a 
great video with James May explaining toe-in on his road bike:
https://youtu.be/sqf2rE9PYgM

If you've got time in quarantine, you may also like his shows "The 
Reassembler" in which he builds common items from parts in real time, and 
his show "Oz and James's Big Wine Adventure", in which he talks about 
grapes.
