hey Robert,

That's a great little film! Wow! Those Bromptons sure don't look very 
stable at speed, but they fit nicely on those rafts. I love that Alistair 
was wearing an airline pfd. Hopefully, the person in his seat on the next 
flight didn't need it.

Thanks for sharing that.
Cheers, John

  It looks like you've got a pannier of some sort attached to the left 
fork. Did you leave that attached? BTW, that's some Appaloosa! Beautiful 
color. Root beer?

It was on in the early iterations to hold the PFD. I eventually figured out 
a better way to hold it on a rear rack - the pannier acted a bit like a 
reverse sail.

The color is standard orange, but with a lovely dusting of Sacramento dirt 
and sand :)

Re: [RBW] Re: I have questions

2024-03-25 Thread Peter Adler
Essentially, this was what Busch & Muller did with the Luxos U, which 
everyone but me seems to have disliked. It's one of the heaviest LED 
headlights of the last 15 years, specifically because there's a lithium 
battery inside the headlight enclosure. The dynamo charges up the battery, 
and then the battery allows a steady-level filtered power to the USB device 
and (I believe) both the head and tail lights. The headlight's stand light 
definitely comes off the internal battery, rather than from a capacitor; 
when I come into the house with my headlight on and wander away without 
switching it pff, it will sometimes stay lit for a few hours - which I 
often only notice when I'm switching off all the ceiling lights as I go to 
bed.

"Hey! That damn headlight's still on!"

The steady power supply eliminates the risk of damage to USB-chargeable 
computerish devices, or at least reduces the risk. It's the same as any 
other USB storage battery, although it's smaller than most external 
charging bricks.

I got a lot of experience using the charger in February-April 2020, just 
before and going into the pandemic. The Bay Area had a horrendous windstorm 
on February 9, with winds approaching 70 MPH near the Bay and 110-120 on 
the crest of the Berkeley Hills. Among other damage at my house (two large 
branches torn off a giant incense cedar in my backyard which came crashing 
down on my neighbor's elaborately maintained garden, just as my neighbor 
and his wife were looking out the back window to see what the storm was 
doing - resulting in nearly a year of financial drama), the storm made the 
city-owned street tree in my parking strip sway wildly, finally ripping the 
power drop cable from PG out of my wall, cutting off all electricity. 
After PG capped the live line and told me that the location of the break 
meant that it was my financial responsibility to fix, I restored the 
connection and then got into a two-month pissing match with PG (every 
Northern Californian's most hated utility) before they reconnected it after 
I pulled strings with then-Berkeley City Councilmember Kate Harrison, who 
called up a midlevel exec at the utility and did a little yelling. My power 
was restarted before the end of that day.

In the meantime, my life sort of stopped. I was roaming around the city 
with power strips, charging bricks, and chargers for a laptop and phone 
trying to collect enough juice each day from libraries and cafes to limp 
through the night and do it all again the next day. The generator+USB 
charger on the Luxos U came into play, both to incrementally recharge my 
phone and to charge charger bricks, which I could then use to recharge 
other gadgets. The experience taught me a lot of survivalist skills, and it 
also taught me where there are uncontrolled publicly accessible wall 
sockets and WiFi (East Bay tidbit: There are tons of open AC outlets on 
Lower Sproul Plaza at UC Berkeley, presumably for prospective 
students/parents on campus tours, and the open WiFi network from the ASUC 
student union is crazy fast. A lot of the Telegraph Avenue street people 
take advantage of what's essentially a public resource).

To the best of my knowledge, no current USB-charger headlight includes an 
internal battery. This makes sense; the extra weight of the Luxos U was a 
factor in breaking two front mounting bolts for MAFAC centerpulls, as I had 
mounted the headlight at the end of one of those little TA handlebar bag 
racks that attach to the mounting bolt and the pivot bolts of MAFAC brakes. 
I believe the extra weight plus the vibration of the rack while moving 
stressed weak points in the 50-70 year old brake mounting bolt that opened 
up micro-cracks that wouldn't have expanded much without the stress.

If you're really nervous about the risk of an irregular power supply to 
recharge sensitive gadgets, then using the charger to recharge a brick is a 
natural, especially if you're using a front rack and/or front/handlebar 
bag: Stick the brick in the bag (or strap it to the rack), run an 
appropriate cable from the charger to the brick, and ride on. Then you can 
use the brick to charge whatever USB thing you've got once you're off the 
bike.

Thanks Colin. Iterating the set-up that's just right for me will only add 
to the fun! It looks like you've got a pannier of some sort attached to the 
left fork. Did you leave that attached? BTW, that's some Appaloosa! 
Beautiful color. Root beer?

Aeroperf, that's a very cool TSF16. I once had the pleasure of paddling one 
for a short bit in calm water, but I didn't have to set it up nor break it 
down. I'm sure at some point one of those Rough stuff Fellowship riders 
tried to haul one by bike!

Oooh and aaah! Thanks for the photos Colin. I wish you had posted this 
months ago before I bought mine! $1000 seems a good deal. C'est la vie! 

I have yet to use my Caribou as winter up here is more conducive to skating 
the river than floating it, but those days are coming soon. 

I appreciate seeing your photos as they help me visualize how my 62cm Hunq 
will ride the bow. Have you ever attached your Appaloosa without removing 
the rear wheel? 

I'm heading south in a few days and plan to paddle the boat in Utah and 
Arizona. I'm very excited to get the boat in the water finally.

Patrick,

I've posted my "Joe-Rafter" here before and I think John Rinkler picked one 
up in the winter?

But yes, this raft was designed with having a heavy bike loaded on the 
front of the raft, no mini/foldable/small wheeled bike required. I 
essentially used it to bike up river, strap my bike to it, paddle down 
river, hop back on the bike, then pedal home. It saves having to stage a 
car as your friends and most others with a kayak do it. Its not as fast as 
a kayak (although, that's partly due to the engine as the argument goes), 
but also exceedingly light and packable. So the idea is you never have to 
worry about locking/staging anything and just bring everything with you on 
all legs of the trip!

I added another photo and video of what its like with the bike on the front 
of the raft.

Re: [RBW] FS: Alpacka Packraft Setup + Aquabound Paddle

2024-03-25 Thread Patrick Moore
I'm not in the market, sorry, but I find that little inflatable very
interesting. Is the boat designed specifically for packing on a bike, then
floating the bike down river, then back to bike packing? I didn't know that
this combination was a thing.

And isn't the Appaloosa a long wheelbase model? Do they make kayak-specific
bikes? (Recall a long-ago Boblist member planning a custom small-wheel
backpacking bike for wilderness trips.)

The reason I'm interested is that my next door neighbor (ex Serotta brazer
back when Serotta built in steel and former roadie, but as a mail carrier
nearing 60 he now finds that his daily load carrying uses up his energy)
and his wife like to pack inflatable kayaks to the Rio Grande (the river is
about 1/2 mile East of my front door, but they pack the kayak/s north to a
Corrales entry point), float downriver about 6-8 miles, then take the other
car back to pick up the first car. I think *he* once or twice packed the
kayak north on his bike, locked bike, floated down, then drove back to pick
up bike.

If you or anyone else cares to post photos of kayak/boat excursions, I'd be
delighted to see them.

[RBW] FS: Alpacka Packraft Setup + Aquabound Paddle

2024-03-25 Thread Collin A
Folks,

It is with a heavy feeling in my gut that I am posting my packraft setup 
for sale. I haven't used it since I moved away from Sacramento and I don't 
forsee it being something I continue with.

Asking for $1000 shipped (plus 3% to cover G fees) for everything.

You'll get:

Backstory:
I picked up the raft and paddle in mid-COVID (Spring 2021) and used it 
extensively with my appaloosa during my time in Sacramento - pedaling up 
the American River Trail to the Nimbus fish hatchery and then paddling down 
the river back to paradise beach in Sacramento (about 3-4 hours of 
leisurely floating). I also used it once for camping up at Folsom lake 
Peninsula Campground, which was a hoot and mildly scary.

It served as a great extension to my normal bike rides during the hot 
summer months and the weird time of COVID, and really opened up my eyes to 
what you can accomplish via bike. If you have a river near you, I'd 
strongly recommend giving it a shot.

Not often you don't. The ones you see on Craigs or FB ain't went yet.

Problem is, many sellers don't understand that and basically wind up 
driving each other's pricing higher.

Corsa Classic, AKA CR member Andrea Bonfanti in Milano, also has fold-out

If my recollection is correct, this is the second run of the Campagnolo
