[RBW] Re: Gravel Tires for Cheviot

[Cal Patterson]

I'd like to throw in a vote for the Bruce Gordon rock 'n road tires, 700x 
43.  I have those on my Sam, under fenders, and they're great.  I like the 
way they corner better than the UD Rosé's squishy triangle knobs.

 I feel like yes.  The issue for them was that they grabbed the outer 
 sides of the fenders, which were several centimeters higher than the tires 
 themselves.  But some 48s may be really 48s with knobbier and some may be 
 closer to 45s.  My experience was with 45 plus fenders and the fenders 
 needed to bend in because the higher part of the arms hit them.

 Others may be able to weigh in.

[RBW] WTB: Nitto Noodle bars, 54cm (or perhaps 52)

[Cal Patterson]

Hello there,

Does anyone have a set they'd be willing to part with?  I'm on these 48s 
and would like to broaden my horizons.

Thanks,
Calvin

[RBW] Re: WTB: 68cm Atlantis

[Cal Patterson]

Wow that is such a good looking bike. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a 68 
before, xl frames just look so dang good to my eye. I love how you’ve built 
it too. I’m starting to think I could fit a much bigger atlantis than I 
previously thought, inspired by this picture..

 Following up here just to say that, against the odds, this worked 
 amazingly well. Took 9 days from the WTB being posted for me to take 
 delivery of a 68cm Atlantis frame, which I built up right away, fine tuned 
 for a week or so, and is now up and running. The build was mainly dictated 
 by parts availability in my garage (didn't buy anything), but I also took 
 inspiration from the colour scheme of 1980s era Burger Kings after a photo 
 of one preserved behind a wall at a mall in Delaware made its rounds on 
 the 
 internet a couple of weeks ago! I've attached a photo—hope I've done so 
 properly. 

 This success, I presume, would be unlikely enough. But, my WTB also led 
 straight to finding the other 68 I had been wanting, a Quickbeam, which 
 arrived today! Seems miraculous. Thanks to the tall guys on here who 
 helped 
 me out!

Bump, still looking if anyone out there has a long length faceplater stem!

Hello all,

If anyone's got one they'd part with, I am looking for a Nitto faceplater 
stem, either the tigged one (FW30?) or that beautiful fillet one, in a 
110-120-130ish longer length, to clamp down these Billie bars. Thanks!

Hi Chris, saw this one on Craigslist this morning. It’s a 56 Rb-1, not sure 
if that is out of your size range..

[RBW] Re: Self-adjusting Billie bars

[Cal Patterson]

Hi Rod,
Beautiful bike! Looks so great with those wide tires.
I have a set of Billie bars that I’ve put on several bikes, never had this 
happen.

I have, however, had this happen when a 25.4 bar is put in a 26.0 clamp 
stem. The fit can be snug enough to not identify an immediate need for 
shimming. You can tighten it down firmly enough, without bottoming out the 
stem clamp, and ride for quite a while really, but then end up with some 
slippage.  Also happened back in the old drop bar world, with 26.0 and 26.2 
(Italian?) stems.

If you loosen the quill stem bolt on that technomic and lift it outta the 
steerer, the clamp diameter should be stamped down under there.
Might not be your issue, but an easy place to start.

Hope this helps,
Calvin
