[RBW] Re: Clem for bikepacking?

[iamkeith]

Keep in mind that interior frame bags and everything cages and cantilevered 
soft bags and a lot of that other, now-common, high-tech bike-packing 
equipment is pretty new in the grand scheme of things.  You can still do 
alot with some good old fashioned "full" racks with panniers and 
saddlebags, the way it was done for a century or more.  I personally think 
the long rear end of the clem lends itself to this better than any other 
bike ever made.

Also, people often forget about or overlook bob trailers too but, depending 
on what kind of trip you had in mind, they sometimes work well, and make it 
easy to strip the bike down for day rides once you reach your destination.

[RBW] Clem for bikepacking?

[Richard Rose]

Wondering if there are any Clem L owners here using their rig  for 
bikepacking excursions? Seems like an ideal platform in spite of having no 
space for a framebag nor fork mounted braze ons for anything or similar 
cages. I am thinking of front and rear mimimalist racks from Tumbleweed as 
they include the anything / manything cage mounts. Curious what others 
might be doing?

It's B-eautiful.  Teeth chattering?  I cannot see it in the pic, but 
you got a gold Edulux II headlamp, in the same gold color of the pulley

 Joyce, HOW could we call your Corgi a Beagle? The shame!

 When I bought my first Rivendell, I needed it to be a sort of 
 minivan - fun for the whole family. I had little boys I needed to pull 
 in a 
 bike trailer, and then I had this Eskimo dog who wanted to ride up 
 front. 

 I got the heavy-duty Nitto rack and the biggest Wald basket money 
 could buy and laid an old car mat in the bottom. That dog loved his 
 basket 
 and even learned how to lean in the turns.

 The bike trailer was retired after a couple of years but the basket 
 stayed put with that dog in it from 2012-2019, when he finally died.

"…they’re not *that* heavy."

How heavy are they?  Will somebody (or everybody) who owns a Platypus 
*please* take it to your LBS, get it weighed, and post the number?
My wife, who rides a 35 pound aluminum KTM Sorrento touring bike and wants 
a Platypus, would really like to know.
What does a typical Riv build with a couple of racks weigh?

I know I sound like a broken record, but so far we only have data from 
someone who deliberately tried to build a light weight Platy.

Sheesh, one more precision: I do not know that the dried sealant was

I'm sure I'm so very late to the game with this one but I just realized you

[RBW] Re: Ron's Ortho Bars in stock at Crust

['John Phillips' via RBW Owners Bunch]

69cm is just more than minimal width for my shoulders & wrists. But I'm 
praying these bars aren't TOO flexy for me, and that pairing with a long, 
low stem will give me some breathing room.

In those Radavist photos, I noticed Uncle Ron has his stem down below his 
saddle, and is gripping those bars at the inside end of those grips.

My intuition is telling me a bullmoose version of these bars with a 170mm 
quill would fit my Hunqapillar better.

[RBW] Re: Crustendell Clementine Clydesdale Cargo Cycle Conversion progress

[lconley]

I have a matching black 20" Honjo flat 65 front fender from Crust (you can 
see it sitting on the plastic on the car). It will require a lot of 
modification (cut in two and mount the top and rear pieces separately) if I 
keep the 20 x 2.4 front tire as the tire just barely clears the underside 
of the fender mount tube. I also have a 20 x 2.15 Big Ben that I may use 
instead, but I like the big tires. Now I just have to come up with a use 
for the 27.5 front fender that came with the back fender (Simworks). VO 
sells mismatched size (27.5 + 20) fender sets, but not in black, and they 
are slightly narrower. The rear fender will also need to be cut in two if I 
use my frame mount AXA lock (the Clementine has the correct mounts brazed 
on the underside of the seat stays).
The doodad is a steerstopper from steerstopper.com. Works much better that 
the spring style VO wheel stabilizer (and doesn't cover the Clementine 
decals). It includes a brake application device for those that do not have 
a dedicated parking brake.

Just got the chain and blue cable housings in today (blue matches the 
Clementine decals). I also have some wide blue Sackville mudflaps.
Also got a new Display for the BBS02 mid drive (Chihuahuas chewed up some 
of the cables) and twist grip throttle. I think that I have all the parts 
now to complete.

Bump! I'm still searching for a 58cm Appaloosa, with the double-top tubes.

Please let me know if you have or find one for sale!

[RBW] Re: Platypus Questions

[Philip Barrett]

Good luck - spend the $ on the Rene Hearse whatever route you chose for a 
build. They really are a lovely smooth tire & run beautifully comfortable 
at around 45psi even on the horrendous potholed streets in my neighborhood.

[RBW] Re: Platypus Questions

[Rusty Click]

Thanks to all,

It may be a tough sell as opposed to continued tinkering with the Treks 
setup, but maybe, just maybe I can convince her to try the Riv.

Roberta, I too, believe that the Platy will be a little heavier but with a 
lighter build, it would fit her needs nicely.  She is strictly a bike 
path/rail-trail rider and It would be "rolling weight", and a comfy ride. 
 If we are ever out your way, I would love for her to take you up on a test 
ride.  Future Riv Sister??

Joe...Originally my Sam was racked and bagged up for touring that it wasn't 
really meant for.  The Atlantis (62 MUSA) has since taken that roll, and 
the Sam is on a diet, loosing the heavy back rack, basket, and soon the 
wheelset and tires.  Then, I believe, it will be similar weight-wise to a 
Platypus build that she would ride.

Phillip...much appreciated points on weight saving choices as opposed to a 
standard Riv build.  If this quest goes forward, I'll definitely refer to 
these.  She rides with a Ortlieb handlebar bag and a small under seat bag 
for repair needs...that's it.  ( I have to carry anything else, like 
jackets and spare water bottles in a pannier)

[RBW] Re: Crustendell Clementine Clydesdale Cargo Cycle Conversion progress

Re: [RBW] Re: XL Susie Handlebar dilemma

[brendonoid]

Dave, It is really going to be a case of getting our hands on the bikes and 
trying stuff out! Im pretty keen to try this Wright stem/Jones bar combo 
but if it doesn't work I'll happily use a Billie or maybe even score a Rons 
Back Bar in the next batch (in 18 months, lol).

Eric, That JB bar has also been on my radar, it has a unique aesthetic. 
Unfortunately it is cromo and I'm not sure I'd enjoy the very short main 
grip area in actual use. It would fun to try nonetheless.

[RBW] Re: An Appaloosa build video

[brendonoid]

Thanks Jaden!
The bad footage thankfully was cut out. :)
Over 15 years of seriously wrenching on bikes, constantly changing parts 
and trying new things and nice stuff does tend to pile up. The Appaloosa 
still isn't technically the finished build I had planned as I am *still* 
waiting on the last parts to build its intended wheelset. Building bikes in 
the last few years has gotten harder, slower and a lot more expensive. 
Forces creativity though and that has been fun.
