Re: [RBW] Fattest Tire on a QB?

[Paul Brodek]

Holy Moly, a Paul Flatbed? Sorry for the semi-zombie revival, and thread 
drift and all that, but how'd that Flatbed work for you, Jim? I've had one 
forever, trot it out now and then, find it always cool, but kinda floppy.

Agreed, it's a riot that you're bringing both bikes.  You're one of a kind,

What I most love about this is the question was only about whether you 
would take the Platy, *too. *There was never a doubt the Clem was going and 
now you're headed to the North with both bikes. That's some serious 
commitment to Rivendells and riding!

[RBW] Re: Question for people who have ridden Compass/Rene Hearse tires

[Philip Williamson]

Excellent, Chris!
My 58mm G-One Speeds had some self-steer, where they’d try to climb the 
crown of the road, or suddenly get grabbed by a crack in the asphalt. The 
BQs you’re getting explain the physics of the runner, I think. I only 
noticed it on a low-trail bike, and not all the time; high trail bikes 
didn’t do that. It makes sense that low tire pressure causes or contributes.

I switched to RH 55mm knobbies, and haven’t noticed it again. I think the 
less rubber area keeps the tire from steering the bike. On dirt, I never 
noticed any of the self steer.

[RBW] WTB: 52cm Rambouillet

Like the title says, I am looking for a 52cm rambouillet. Complete is 
preferred but will consider a frame. Anyone have one they want to move 
along?

[RBW] FS: Rivendell SimpleOne

[Montclair BobbyB]

FOR SALE:  

Selling my lightly used Rivendell SimpleOne.  I purchased this frameset 
from Rivendell (with BB and headset) and built it up as a 
“multi-geared-single-speed”.  It has a 20/22-tooth White Industries Dos Eno 
dual freewheel in the rear, and Shimano 600 crankset with dual chainrings 
(38/42-tooth).  The SimpleOne has angled rear slide dropouts designed to 
allow for multiple wheel positions without the need to adjust the brake 
pads.  The result: You have 4 separate gear ratio configurations to choose 
from, one at a time (of course).

Overall condition is very good; only slightly worn-in.  There are a few 
minor nicks & wear marks where the green paint has worn down to underlying 
primer; NO bare metal or rust; Honestly I’d call these “beausage” marks.  
It’s a beautiful green and cream color combo.  I’ve loved riding this bike, 
but am seriously downsizing the stable, and I really haven’t ridden this 
very much. The gearing combo gives you several options for different 
terrain/riding style.

Bike Setup:

Frame: SimpleOne frameset (60cm)

Stem: Specialized stem 120mm reach

Handlebar: VO Grand Cru Ranndonneur bars 44cm wide

Brakes: Tektro canti brakes w/SunTour Superbe levers. 

Front Dynamo Hub: Shimano DH-3N72 6v 3w 36h

Rear hub: Origin8 36h flip flop fixie/freewheel w/White Industries Dos Uno 
20/22t freewheel and 17t fixed cog

Rims: Alex DM18 700c eyeletted rims w/straight gauge stainless spokes

Tires: Schwalbe Century 700c x 35c green whitewalls (great for on/off road)

Crank: Shimano 600 175mm with 42/38t chainrings

Saddle: Brooks B17 Narrow (like new, still needs breaking in)

B Eyc LED front light (included, not installed)

B 4D-lite plus w/standlight (included, not installed)

Price is $1200. If you know this bike, you know it rides like a dream.  
This is ready to go, for day or night riding.

Pick up in Lambertville NJ / New Hope PA area; will drive up to 2 hours to 
meet; potential option to deliver in New England area.  Strongly prefer to 
NOT ship.

Please contact me (Bobby) offline at montclairbob...@gmail.com 
Thanks, 
BB

Re: [RBW] Re: Question for people who have ridden Compass/Rene Hearse tires

[Chris L]

Andy,

Thanks for the clarification.  I ordered both issues and look forward to 
reading them and maybe re-subscribing.

Also, my Endurance casings had their first test today.  I rode thru about 
900 feet of grass and when I got back on pavement, I heard a clicking sound 
from my front tire.  I stopped and inspected it, seeing what looked like a 
very small twig but which turned out to be a very small, very rusted 
fishing hook, stuck directly into the center of the tread.  I pulled it out 
and finished my ride with no problems and hopefully it didn't even reach 
the tube.

 I tell ya it's madness out there, Dave. I offered up some bars and a stem

changing stuff on my Susie. I ended up selling everything right away and 
looked around and realized..I got not bars on the Susie now! 藍

Re: [RBW] Re: Rambouillet tire clearance

[Eric St. Mary]

Thank you all for the helpful input. Sounds like I’ll be shopping for some 
38s. I’m looking forward to seeing how it feels with some fatter tires. 

It has the Shimano long reach brakes Riv sold back then.  I had to deflate 
it he Roly Polys since day 1, even with the brake release, to remove the 
wheels. They do have a ton of clearance otherwise.

Re: [RBW] Re: Rambouillet tire clearance

I can run 38s, and I am running 35s with fenders, but had help to make it 
fit. 33s were no problem with fenders.  I have an orange Ram.

Re: [RBW] Re: Question for people who have ridden Compass/Rene Hearse tires

[ascpgh]

Chris, it's an article in issue 75 following the one about performance of 
knobby tires.

I have been seeing the thickness of the issues does reflect more of Jan's 
rides but as an engineer and bicyclist he cannot help letting the riding 
become reporting on how the hardware handled things I like that perspective 
and I have cached away blurbs from those several ride write-ups for my own 
ends. I particularly like his realization about underbiking in this issue; 
he doesn't like it and would enjoy a ride more if he had enough bike. I 
apply this in reverse in that I don't want to ride a mountain bike for 6-8 
hours so I ride where my 650B x 42 rules the terrain and I'm happy as a 
result.

Re: [RBW] Re: Rambouillet tire clearance

[Patrick Moore]

On my blue Ram, 32s (Kojak 1.35s which may have measured 31mm on Open Pros)
fit under SKS fenders with some squeezing at seatstay bridge, but
acceptable. I think that fenders take up about 5mm of tire size but I'd
guess that 37-38 might be the max.

[RBW] Re: FS: Bike Tools Suntour Park VAR Hozan Campy Stein more

[David Hallerman]

Hello and WOW!

I knew bike tools would sell, but not that quickly. Thank you, thank 
you, thank you big time for all your responses. And to be honest, with 
all the incoming email and messages, I might have, probably have, missed 
one or two or three. If that was your message, I'm sorry. If the item 
you want is still listed, please try again.


Of the 54 line items originally, there are only 11 left, listed below. 
Again, photos are here, with pretty much just the remaining tools 
pictured: https://photos.app.goo.gl/HMHjnepFaMBdCdeL9


Still available, and a few notes.
* Item #38, the Serotta fit tool and the small level it needs replaced. 
I priced one of the same size online, and it's less than $2.
* Item #46, sleuthed by potential buyer RJL - this little 13/19mm wrench 
came with Suntour cantilever brakes, like the XC Pro ones I installed 
many years ago. Here's some more info: 
https://restoringvintagebicycles.com/tag/suntour/
* Item #24, of all the items left, this is the one I'm most surprised 
didn't sell yet. Item #51 is pretty nice too, and its price is not that 
fixed.

Hi,

A bunch of tools for sale. Many are barely or never used. Those that 
are used more are tools, of course, and still perform their job just 
as well as when they were new. Pictures of all of them can be found 
here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/iXqKjiJ3R1cj6erj7


Questions quickly answered, and if you find a price too high, consider 
making an offer. Prices include shipping, except in a few cases as 
noted. With 54 items for sale, please also refer to items by their 
number if you can.


Thanks for looking, replies off-list.

I'm building up a Clem now and am wondering what your stem/bar set up is on 
this one. Looks like a quill to threadless adapter?

Sorry for the confusion. I tossed the fenders in the trash long ago, and 
want to run “slick” tires.

[RBW] Re: Rambouillet tire clearance

[George Schick]

It's not exactly clear whether you want to run the fatter tires with or 
without fenders.  FWIW, I have a Ram of the same exact time period as yours 
and I'm running 32mm Panaracers with fenders.  I'd prefer to run 35's, but 
there's no way they'd fit under the fenders.  Without fenders I'm guessing 
that you could go up to 37/38's, but it might be tight.  That frame was 
built with side-pulls as the intended brake, therefore the brake bridge on 
the rear is a little further down than other models.  And I agree, of all 
the bikes I've owned over the past 45+ years of "serious" cycling the Ram 
is the best riding of the bunch.  Wish I would have had it all along.

[RBW] Rambouillet tire clearance

[Eric St. Mary]

I’m the original owner of a 2003 orange Rambouillet. It has always worn 
Roly Poly tires, but my stock has ran out.  It hasn’t worn fenders in over 
a decade, and I want to run some bigger tires. I threw my wife’s 700x37 WTB 
All Terrains on it and they cleared. I just want to run fatter road tires 
on it. What can reliably fit 700x38 or 40s in one of the various Panaracer 
makes?


FWIW This bike rides like a silky dream. Ive went through 30+ other bikes 
over the years, and this one remains. It is a beauty. 


Regards,

Eric

Leah,

Take the Platypus. Your precious will become more precious the more you 
ride not the more she stays behind. But please please, like everyone has 
said already, take all bikes with you in the hotel. Do not even leave them 
inside the van. If anything, do it for MY peace of mind ;)

On a different note, #matchymatchy -- be still my heart!! You have upped 
the game with those raspberry frame protectors! Now I look at my gray ones, 
and they look so dull and unexciting. But #rivsisters unite: I also label 
them, but only abbreviated: TT, DT, STT, STB, SSL, SSR... It does help when 
in a rush at the train station :-D

Enjoy your trip!
-Ana

Cross-posted from ibob list and made the same typo unfortunately haha - it
