Re: [RBW] WTB: Analog Cycles Fifth Season Squall Sack

[Christopher Wiggins]

Hello!
When ordering Squall Sacks (or any Fifth Season bag) I’m limited to the 
fabric that the maker has on hand.  Most of the colors were not available 
at the time of ordering, and there was no eta on when they would be back in 
stock.  I took the best options that were available to me at that time.
I am enjoying Naples, but I understand.  I wouldn’t want to move back to my 
home town either.
Thanks!
Chris

[RBW] Twine Time

Saw a post some days ago asking for a video on how to twine bar tape.  Even 
though I'm sure there are several out there I thought I'd give it a go.

sold as a frame set.  Builds could be changed, but they are $2950 as they 
are.  Frames are $1500.

[RBW] Ride Ready Apparel

[Christopher Wiggins]

Like a lot of us, I like to wear "normal" clothing when riding.  What I 
found was that, after a summer of riding, one of my $45 shirts wasn't good 
for much more than riding.  

I've started gathering (do the kids say "curate"?) gently used clothing 
that I would be happy to ride in.  Sweat, blood or errant bon fire embers 
shouldn't break the bank.  I call it Ride Ready Apparel.  

Have a look if you like.

Thanks!

I had a bit of a Grand Opening par-tay last week.  Surly bikes was in

Friday.  Fun was had by all.  I wrote up a very short blurb, and posted

Re: [RBW] Re: Taking Clem to a different level

[Christopher Wiggins]

Hello Jim
the grips are Velo Orange Rustines.  I don't even know if they still do
them.  I never found them good on Albas etc (loose fitting/too short), but
they fit fine on the drops.  In this case there is no tape underneath.  I
could have probably made that work, but just decided to take the short cut
and start the tape where the grip ends.  The added benefit was that the
grips are flexy enough that I could run the shift housing under the grip on
the right side.

Thanks

Chris

Given my torso length, I look for bikes on the opposite end of spectrum.  
The longer the top tube the better.  I'm interested in the long term

[RBW] New additions to my site

[Christopher Wiggins]

Thank you to everyone who has purchased a thing or two off our new site.  
While building a new website was a larger job than I had anticipated, 
adding all the stuff has proven to take even longer.  I'm slowly getting 
all the Sackville stuff added, and I recently added a couple of things that 
I thought some of you may be interested in.  

Ride on!

[RBW] Re: Cheviot and Bike Rack

[Christopher Wiggins]

I'm risking being redundant here, because it seems you've gotten some good 
advice.  

If it's possible to have a receiver installed, you will find 
loading/unloading much easier.  I've used several different types of hitch 
racks over the years, and IMO the best rack currently for bikes with 
racks/fenders/baskets/bags is the Thule Double Track Pro.  I can carry my 
Cheviot and the wifes Rosco Mixte with ease.

Good luck.

[RBW] Re: A Homer Hilsen vs LHT - Will I notice a difference?

[Christopher Wiggins]

Drew,

I've owned, and ridden both bikes for the better part of 10 years.  Will 
you notice a difference?  Hard to say.  I can only give you my thoughts 
based on my experience of 30 years of riding and selling bikes.  First- 
both bikes are great.  The LHT gets a bad rap for being "heavy".  I've 
never been bothered by this.  I don't think the bike "rides heavy" at all.  
Is the AHH lighter?  Certainly.  With my communing load the AHH is nearly 
6-7 lbs lighter than the LHT.  
The biggest ride difference comes from the geometry of the bikes, AND your 
set up.  My feeling was always that I was sitting on top of the Surly, and 
sitting IN the Riv.  There is no better or worse.  Just different.
A final thought.  I stripped my LHT last winter and had it powder coated.  
In that time I rode my AHH and a Cheviot exclusively.  My fear was that 
when I reassembled the Surly I was going to be disappointed.  I was not.  I 
was every bit as great as I had remembered.  That being said, if I had to 
have just one bike (horrors), it would most certainly be a Rivendell.

The only option is to own both!  Good luck.

[RBW] Re: Hitch rack recommendations?

[Christopher Wiggins]

I've used (and sell) Swagman racks.  They worked well enough.  I just got a 
Thule Doubletrack Pro, and for bikes with fenders, baskets and bags, I 
think it's the best.  That's the ways it's worked for me anyway.

[RBW] 2 frames (or bikes) that need to go!

[Christopher Wiggins]

We've got a couple of bikes that we would really like to sell.  

1. A first run SOMA San Marcos 59cm (double top tuber).  Currently built, 
but we can strip if necessary.  $600 frame/fork and $50 shipping.  If you 
would like the bike, or some variation we can discuss.

2. Sam Hillborne also 59, also double top tube.  Black! 
 Frame/fork/headset/bottom bracket and seatpost $1150 and $50 shipping. 
 Can do complete with this one as well.

Please contact the store directly  info AT a1cyclery DOT com

Help these bikes find their forever homes ;)

[RBW] Re: What size A. Homer Hilsen should I get, 54 or 56?

[Christopher Wiggins]

I have a PBH of 81 and ride my saddle at 70.5.  My AHH is a 54.  I could 
have gotten the 55 but I wanted a bike with 650b wheels (at the time the 55 
would have had 700c wheels).  I would never say that I had "too much" 
seatpost showing.  It's not nearly a "fist full".  I don't think what the 
fellas told you was a contradiction at all.  However, at the end of the day 
it's going to be your bike, and your decision.

Tim,  I'll be honest I didn't read all the responses,so I don't know where

[RBW] Now (nearly) fully stocked

[Christopher Wiggins]

Sams have arrived and are ready to roll.  Mid sized Appas still in stock. 
 One big Clem left until late summer.  It's a great time to visit Indy and 
ride a Riv.  If you decide to buy you can even ride around the Speedway and 
see some of the craziness of the 100th running of the 500!

If you've got some parts lying around something like this may be possible. 
 I managed to make this work with a combination of Shimano and Silver pod

[RBW] Re: NEED a tip for slipping seatpost head

[Christopher Wiggins]

Reid,

Really hard to diagnose without actually putting a hand on it, 
but...how long is the wrench?  If it's a small (2" long) wrench, it 
likely isn't long enough to provide the torque you need to really tighten 
the post.  The wrenches we use in the shop are 4-5" long.

Depending on how old the post is it may not be a bad idea to pull the bolt 
and apply a bit of grease.  

I hope that helps.  Good luck.

Hello Ryan

Honestly inventory is pretty low at the moment.  I don't have any framesets 
available.  I do have Clem, Clementine, one Sam, one Chev and a SOMA San 
Marcos.

I've got Appas ordered as well as complete Sams, but I don't think 
framesets will be available until later in the Spring.

Feel free to reach out directly if you like.  wiggly AT a1cyclery DOT com

be stuck with (minimum) 2-3 cm of drop.

 have a new fit system.
 H2 Fit

 H2 features a slightly higher head tube to put less strain on your back 
 and neck. It's the right way to get most riders, including many of our Pro 
 Team riders, in the right place. With no need for high-rise stems or spacer 
 stacks, the look is nothing but pro.

 nature, for the environment, for our health, for the simple beauty of 
 cycling.”  For these reasons SunXCD will focus on touring and randonneuring 
 components which were the focus of SunTour during its heyday.

 Of course, most of us Riv fans will note that this echoes Grant's 
 published opinions over the years, as well as the sales pitches of a few 
 brands who've tried, with varying success, to get into the Riv-ish segment 
 of the market. I discovered Riv almost 10 years ago because I wanted a 
 certain type of bike that didn't seem to exist at local shops. What I 
 wanted was a touring bike, and the Atlantis I bought filled that desire. 
 Had I been able to find a Trek 520 locally, or if the LHT existed back 
 then, my story may have taken some different turns. But it was certainly 
 true back then that any readily available higher quality bike was going to 
 be some kind of impractical skinny tire road bike. Not my style.

 But things have changed drastically. Sure, many of us are baffled by 
 electronic shifting and seemingly delicate CF and 11-sp cassettes that have 
 become available. But at the same time, a HUGE variety of touring and 
 adventure bikes, parts, and accessories have become not only available, 
 but mainstream. So while I wish Junzo and SunTour success, I thought his 
 rationale seemed hollow, or at least 5-10 years too late.

[RBW] Re: thoughts on the current state of the Riv-ish bicycle marketplace

[Christopher Wiggins]

Jim,

While in more enlightened bike markets this may be true; here in 
Indianapolis, we're just now starting to catch up.  I've been swimming 
against the current for 4 years now.  It's just this year that customers 
don't give me the you've got 2 heads look when I suggest something like a 
LHT.
The industry has conditioned consumers to think they need all the gizmos. 
 It's going to take as many of the smaller companies as we can get to 
provide a counter balance.

Ride on!

[RBW] Re: Dutch Fender Light Question

[Christopher Wiggins]

You can cut the bolt down, or use a presta valve nut as a spacer.  Haven't 
seen one in person, but I would bet it would do the trick.

 Just picked up one of the dutch fender lights - 

 When I went to install, realized that the screw is too long, it will rub 
 the tire if I screw the bolt all the way snug - anyone install one of these 
 yet? 

 Tips for how to shorten the bolt?  Am I doing something wrong?  Bolt seems 
 pretty long to me, I am guessing more people than just me would have the 
 problem.

 Appreciate the help in advance!

[RBW] Re: Recommended 26 tires

[Christopher Wiggins]

Panaracer T Serve Protex in 26X1.75.  Pretty light, and seem to be holding 
up quite well.

 Building a bike up that needs solid commuter but non-tank-like 26X1.75 
 tires. Schwalbe Marathons (HS420) look to be about what I think I need, but 
 any other suggestions at lower price points?

 Thanks!
