Interesting that they used the term “bikepacking” in that 1973 article. I 
assumed that was a more recent term but it looks to have been around a while.

[RBW] Re: question and WTB for two new country builds

[Joe Bernard]

Michael, 

I suspect there's an official answer from Riv and what some folks are 
willing to file on to make that kickstand work. As Grant once said to me 
about some project or another I asked about, "...after that you're on your 
own, Joe."

 I have small frames and low saddles. I've used both the Swift 
 Industries Catalyst (reinforced X-pac) and the Jacks Supply Co Little 
 Slugger (Cordura or X-pac) successfully. Both have a plastic insert which 
 maintains the body shape when empty. Not very big but can be overstuffed 
 and has loops on the lid to tie on stuff. Both also work well as handlebar 
 bags with longer Voile straps and foam spacers.

 Would you mind a saddle bag rack? The Carradice Bagman Sport works well 
 with larger saddle bags, like the Swift Industries Zeitgest, and it's not 
 as big a commitment as a dedicated rear rack. Someone mentioned the Ocean 
 Cycles Erlen rack - very elegant and blingy but designed for the Nitto 
 S-83 
 so can be a roll of the dice with other seat posts.

 > the bag is the slim sucker.

 Is your rear flap too long? I bought one recently and the bottom 
 cleared by 3/4" even when I stuffed it but the too-long flap flopped over 
 and rubbed the rear tire. Will said that was ...  not right - actually a 
 couple of inches too long - and I returned the bag for a refund.

[RBW] Re: question and WTB for two new country builds

[Michael Baquerizo]

updates : 

spoke to vince at RIV about the kickstand and he hardly let me finish my 
sentence before saying it just wasn't going to happen. 

but then i came across this - which suggests otherwise. he kinda left me 
thinking it's not worth a try and now i'm just stuck in purgatory.

happened upon a riv reader article that suggests 1/8" set screws are the 
correct size for grip king extra grippage.

got the rear rack sorted out. thanks for all the help here, all.

 Michael, 

 I also have a very small amount of kickstand rub on one of my bikes 
 with a very slightly out of true rear wheel, and had a neat idea for 
 temporarily fixing it the other day: 
 [image: kickstand-tire-rub-hack.jpg] 
 I swear, I will true that wheel eventually, and NOT just totally forget 
 about it because it's not making that noise anymore!

 I've had some success using a "Pec Deck

 for a rear saddlebag on my Atlantis. Gotta say, the idea sketches me out

I've never had to do it and apparently no one else here has, either, so

"Your"

Paul brake boss removal: do you mean the brazed-on projections on fork
legs and seat stays on which the brake arms pivot? I know Paul canti
brakes but not, specifically, Paul bosses, but if you mean the "axles"
on which canti and V brake arms pivot, I've done this with non-Paul
bosses: use hacksaw or, if you are patient, Dremel cutting wheel. File
remainder until flush with fork leg or seatstay. Clean, primer, paint.
The same process works with useless cable housing stops and dropout
derailleur hangers. I've used this entirely crude and entirely

ss fixed drivetrains.

Re: [RBW] Re: My Frank Jones Sr is finally where I want it

[Patrick Moore]

Is it true that Grant has designed a new hillibike frame built around an
IGH? And that he's designing a new "Silver" line of IHG 2 speed fixed and
3, 4, and 5 speed close, medium, and wide ratio hubs, called HilliHubs?
(Or, it might be HilliHubBubs).

No, it's not true, but it's fun to imagine it.

Re: [RBW] Creaky Creaks?

[Philip Barrett]

Good luck, I have a Nitto S83 seat post so being a dual-bolt it was able to 
become quite loose without any noticeable changes to riding position.

Great info here.I just notice some creaky creaks on my Platy while 
riding last weekend.  It's been too wet and chilly for me to get back out 
and check it and it is waiting for me in my garage for diagnosis.  I will 
check all of the above.   Thanks for all the advice.

 I did the seatpost (which was tight) and the saddle clamp (which wasn't

[RBW] Re: My Frank Jones Sr is finally where I want it

[John G.]

I've never ridden one, but on paper, I think the Frank Jones Sr is one of 
the best things Rivendell ever did. I would've ordered one if they'd come 
in larger sizes. This build is great!

Hi, no need for a new hub. You can swap in a 6 1/4” axle (Sturmey part # 
HSA.108) on any AW hub and fit it to a frame with a 120mm rear end. You 
usually do also need a bit longer indicator to make up for the longer 
spindle. Here’s an axle for sale (not mine, just the result of a Google

[RBW] Re: 61cm Ritchey Road Frame/Fork/ Headset

[Brian Campbell]

Corwin,

It fit 28mm tires with no problem. Those tires mounted on Pacenti Brevet 
rims were closer to 30mm actual.

I was running Dura Ace Dual pivot brakes on it so they limited me on tire 
size more than the bike. I think you could fit a 32mm with a different 
brake set.

Below are some pictures to give you and idea.

Thanks.

Re: [RBW] From One Curious Photo . . . .

[E. Ricky Creek]

I spent an afternoon with Greg Siple a number of years back while riding 
across the USA, and using my memory only he told me the adapted derailleurs 
and any other modifications for those early epic touring bikes were done at 
a local Missoula shop called Braxton's. I think he built bicycles as well. 
Ian Hibell's Africa bike is also up in the rafters of Adventure Cycling's 
headquarters and worth a look.

Gotta love all these cool looking and timeless Bicycles !  
What's funny is that their experiences read as relevant today as any other 
time or place. 
I had looked for the article a few days at the time of posting this ago but 
ran into dead ends. So this AM I felt an urge to see it as I knew it 
existed online somewhere and readily accessible at that. Lo and behold 
thanks to the wonders of PFM, here is The May 1973 entire periodical in 
pdf format.

Re: [RBW] From One Curious Photo . . . .

[John Rinker]

After reading the 'Shakedown Alaska' article, I'm now more intrigued with 
Dave Sorenson, the 'casual' tourer, on his alba-barred 3-speed. One can 
only wonder, 'Where is Dave now?' Perhaps a member of this group?

Super fun reading!
