Re: [RBW] Re: 2021 Appaloosa thread

[Kushan]

Michael - I am having mine built at RWB. They were out of the Appaloosa 
standard 48mm Shikoro tires and so they recommended 55mm Continental 
Contact Urban. I don't have the bike yet but given that RBW recommended 
those with fenders, I'd say 55mm should fit as long as it's not super 
knobby. I'd be happy to send some pics, once I have the bike (who am I 
kidding - I am going share pics even if you don't need them :) ).

[RBW] Re: anyone push their altus (m310) to a 36t rear cog?

[Joe Bernard]

What Doug said, it should be fine, Shimano rear derailers are usually good 
for pushing a couple teeth bigger than listed. I believe - this is math 
stuff I don't fully understand - some of the concern comes from if you're 
running a wide-range triple crank *and *a big cassette..at some point in 
there things get screwy. But most of us don't run triples that way and you 
may not even have a big ring, just guard-middle-small. I say give it a 
whirl!

[RBW] Re: anyone push their altus (m310) to a 36t rear cog?

[dougP]

I have an 11-36 9 speed cassette shifted by an Altus on my Atlantis.  Works 
fine.  I had a 34 big cog before & didn't change a thing when I replaced 
with the 36.

[RBW] Re: anyone push their altus (m310) to a 36t rear cog?

[Jared Wilson]

We have two bikes successfully set up with Altus rear with Microsoft 9 
speed 11-42 cassettes using the Sunrace derailleur extenders available HERE 
 on Rivendell's 
website. I think you'd be fine without one on a 36 but that's the next move 
if you aren't able to swing it.

[RBW] Re: H/Hilsen (Toyo) tire size

[Cyclofiend Jim]

A... just before I posted this, I realized you have a 650B (which is 
essentially a Saluki in 56). My comments below the line were for a 700C 
Hilsen. I think you'll find any reference to Saluki clearances would be 
appropriate.

There is a thread here which chats a bit about Saluki v. Hilsen
https://groups.google.com/g/rbw-owners-bunch/c/5JKIpW9dQTA

In that thread, you will find reference to a fendered Saluki with 42's. 

-- 700C comments  

I still run Jack Browns (bulky 33 1/3) on mine and there is gobs of room. 

On this page, you can see Pasela 37's and plenty of space to spare - 
http://www.cyclofiend.com/rbw/hilsen/index.html

Original RR article introducing the 700C Hilsen stated clearance for 40 
with fenders. (you'll find a hi-rez archived scan on that page as well).

[RBW] anyone push their altus (m310) to a 36t rear cog?

[Michael Baquerizo]

bought a 11-36t cassette for my new appa and already have some altus' that 
i'd like to use ( i guess i have back up shimano rear in case they dont) 
but i realized it's supposed to be 34t max. anyone get it past that?  tried 
looking elsewhere to no avail.

keep seeing altus' on riv builds and it's growing on me aesthetically, in a 
riv sort of way. my back up is an m952 xtr rear. not a huge fan of the 
charcoal color so i'm not super excited to use it, but i guess i can get 
over that pretty quickly

[RBW] Re: Roadini Tires: Anyone running 38s?

[Dan Sullivan]

Not on a Roadini, but I can squeeze 38 gravel king slicks in my canti-Rom 
and those tires are amazing.  Never ridden anything so fast and smooth.  I 
go about 50-55 psi on mine, and weigh in the mid-220s, and they feel 
perfect.

If you can fit 38s go for it.

[RBW] H/Hilsen (Toyo) tire size

[Gerard Gunhouse]

Greetings
Can anyone confirm or shed light on the largest tire size one can safely 
ride on a Toyo H/Hilsen (56 650B) with fenders. I would like to work a 
38-42 if possible and don't want to cut it too close for safety reasons. 
Thanks much 
Gunner

Sad to hear it, but not unexpected given the supply chain crisis.

Re: [RBW] WTB: *Sage* Hillborne, 55-ish

Hi Matthew,

Thanks for replying. Yup, sage is the dealbreaker -- I used to be an orange 
Hillborne fan, but have mellowed out and enjoy the subtlety of the sage 
color. Also, I have a preference for the older seat cluster.

Cheers

Or, go up one of the 4 or 5 canyons on the east slope of the Sierra. Some 
have perennial springs. Indian Wells Cyn, have some beer at the brewery 
before heading farther up the canyon. Start early, the winds are relentless 
this year.

[Mike Godwin]

Hi Brnedan

Ya'll better get high (in elevation of course).  If it is 110-115 in 
Ridgecrest, it will be 105 in Kernville.  Take 9 Mile Canyon Road to 
Kennedy Meadows. There are campgrounds there, you could use that as a base 
camp. Or, Black Rock Station, then a S24O to Osa Meadow or Powel Meadow. 
Osa Meadow has a stream in it (it did last year) that goes in and out of 
the sand meadow, closer to bedrock are cool pools, deeper sand, no water. 
Powell Meadow has a spring at the north end. I car camped at Osa Meadow 
last summer, cold nights, its 8500. The big fires last summer burned to the 
west edge of Osa Meadow according Cal Fire maps.   These areas are bordered 
to the north by the Golden Trout Wilderness.  

Roads to Osa Meadow, Powell Meadow are drivable in Mazda 3 wagon.  Big 
Meadow is also 2WD vehicle. 

Another cool place is Kernville to Sherman Pass Road (coming into the same 
area as above but from the Kernville side), up the hill to Cherry Hill 
Road. Do a S24O to Big Meadow and points south.  Not sure of how this area 
has fared in the past decade with fires. Cherry Hill area got burned 20 yrs 
ago or so.

Re: [RBW] Trail friendly front fender

[Mat Grewe]

Ha, I actually have no camera that takes clear photos (old laptop and cheap 
flip phone, both unworthy cameras).  These were taken by a friend who was 
honing in on just the fenders.  So it may be a while before full bike 
photos for this machine exist.  And when I am away from internet (don't 
have internet at home) and these conversations, I don't seem to remember to 
get a photo...

The bike was built to also have room for wider knobbies.  Unfortunately the 
builder messed up a couple things in the rear triangle, so I am limited to 
50mm tires instead of the requested 57mm, although the front has the 
clearance I requested.  I'm fine with it really, I pretty much only run 
50mm slick tires anyway, at least in the summer.  I still may put on a 
wider knobbie front tire if I end up doing a longer off-road tour, but I 
really have had no issue riding rough roads with 50mm slicks.  Winter I do 
put on studded, lightly knobbed tires.

My old bike had well installed Honjo fenders with 25-30mm clearance and I 
had numerous issues, even with slicks: the afore mentioned cowpies, leafs 
and mud, snow/ice buildup, and a stick flipped up into the spokes of my 
front wheel and nearly collapsed the front fender.  Thankfully that didn't 
happen, but the stays still got bent and required a fix.  Na, even with 
slicks I am supremely happy with the homebrew front fender.  And I forgot 
to mention, it wasn't my idea.  I got the idea from a MTB forum where the 
guy made it out of coroplast and zip ties, but this is arguably stronger 
and more elegant than what the MTB poster deemed "fugly."

Re: [RBW] Re: FS Grilver 52 Clem H

[Doug H.]

I do like the two bolt design of that stem especially with wide bars that
allow a good bit of torque from pulling. I had to really tighten the single
bolt stem on my first Clem with the Bosco bars. I would have jumped on an
Atlantis in a heartbeat had one been available recently when I bought the
Clem H frameset. Although, the price of the Clem is nice and it seems close
to the Atlantis geometry, just without some of the lugs. What don't you
like about the other Rivendell models?

[RBW] Touch-up paint for my Roadeo

[Eric Peterson]

Just a PSA expressing my appreciation for the folks @ Waterford.
I discovered that they can supply touch-up paint for my Roadeo (cream with 
blue highlights) and I ordered touch-up paint in each color:

   - Roadeo White
   - Hot Blue

Thanks Richard and Diane for your help.

Re: [RBW] Riding in rain - Why not?

I haven't enjoyed riding in the rain in the past, but we get enough rain to 
miss out on quite a few rides when I’m really in the mood.  

A couple of these cleverhood ones are under $100.  
https://cleverhood.com/collections/rainwear  
 When riding for fun and 
ramble , do ya’ll also wear rain pants?  How do you keep your feet dry?

[RBW] WTB: Giro Rumble, discrete colorway, size 10 1/2 American-equivalent

[Patrick Moore]

I blathered about walkable shoe and pedal combinations, and one option was
a more walkable SPD shoe. Someone suggested the Rumble, and reviews said it
indeed is better for walking than many SPD shoes (doubtless including the
old Shimanos I wore to church today that make one hobble instead of
striding.

I can't find my size online. Can anyone point me to a size 44 or 45,
whichever is closer to a US 10.5, assuming you know how Giros fit, in
non-alarming colors? (I say "44 or 45" because I recently got a pair of
cycling shoes, not Rumbles, in 44, and they fit like 9s, and a pair of 45
Sidi touring shoes, and they fit like small 10s.)

Or, advise me on another made and model of SPD shoe that is comfortable for
light hiking and standing around.


Thanks.

Re: [RBW] Riding in rain - Why not?

[Patrick Moore]

Yes, ponchos, please! Sure, I live in a desert so what do I know from rain,
but really, when we do get a bit of our annual 9", it tends to come down in
buckets, and I've ridden in real gullywashers wearing a cheap Campmor
poncho (which I like better than the more expensive Carradice ones I've
owned), and stayed dry between neck and knee, even when the rain was
accompanied by very strong wind.

The last I looked, Campmor no longer carries their cycling poncho, so I'm
glad I bought one when I did. I replaced the annoying leg loops with a
stack of large washers at the rear to keep the tail down.

Thanks for the very nice photos.

That's a great bike frame, maybe better than the one that I most

[RBW] Re: Rambouillet tire clearance

[ascpgh]

Mine is still 8-speed, although purely friction, bar ends (switched from 
Shimano to SunTour) with Shimano XT Hubs13-32 cassette, TA Zephyr crank 
with 46/34 rings, SKF BB and Mavic front and rear derailleurs. 

My Honjo H-47 fenders and Paul Racer brake calipers have been my updates. I 
consider wheels to be consumables after after so many years/miles.  There's 
also the pesky rear dropout replacements and the seat stay bridge that had 
to be rebrazed. Not been a commuter, although I did ride it to work a few 
weeks last summer, but ridden through lots of conditions. When I have a 
plan in place for a big ride I don't let weather deter unless it's just 
plain foolish.

[RBW] Re: FS: Bike commuter bags + jacket (Chrome, Timbuk2, WaterField)

[CMR]

A few price drops:

-Chrome Storm Cobra rain jacket – Medium/black, new never used. $45 shipped 
CONUS

-Chrome backpack – large and high quality. Used maybe five times, looks 
brand new. I think made for messengers, lower height so easier to look at 
traffic when riding. $55 shipped.

-Frye Logan flap brief case. I had a leather worker add a nice zipper to 
inside of the opening, pictured. Great condition. Costs $528 new from the 
site, I am asking $120 shipped. Happy to delete this if Mods think it's 
off-topic.

-Timbuk2 backpack. Used regularly for a short commute but it doesn’t show. 
No stains or big marks, it has held up really well. Lower height so easier 
to look at traffic when riding, also has integrated reflective tape. $35 
shipped.

-WaterField Designs Bolt briefcase, chocolate leather on waxed canvas. 
Lovely bags made in San Francisco by a company run by a cyclist. They even 
make musettes! $279 new, I am asking $140 shipped. Great condition.

-Camelbak blowfish. Rough shape, needs a patch or two. Free with any of the 
above bags.
