[RBW] FS: Small HubbuHubbuh tandem

2019-06-24 Thread David Crowell
I mentioned this bike on here once before.  Everyone agreed it would be a 
great deal, but it seems those who want one already have one.

So, small (fits me fine at 5'10", but my stoker is 5'1") HubbuHubbuh with 
SON dynohub, Nitto front rack, Wald basket, B headlight, Rich Lesnick 
wheels, and more for $1300 obo.

Details here:
https://louisville.craigslist.org/bik/d/louisville-rivendell-hubbuhubbuh-tandem/6918473708.html

I can't ship it, and it doesn't fit well on my bike rack, so delivery is 
problematic.  I'll also throw in a hitch-mount tandem rack that I couldn't 
get to fit it properly, but with some ingenuity (that I lack) it'll work.

Please buy this bike.  I must get rid of it, as it's sitting in my kitchen, 
annoying my wife.

Yep, it's a deal, but I also know that selling niche market bikes like this 
is difficult.

[RBW] FS: Riv HHH Tandem (small)

2018-10-20 Thread David Crowell
Due to life changes, this bike has barely been ridden.  It's a small size 
(Grant's recommendation: I'm 5'10", my wife, 5'1") blue-ish color.  SON 
hub, rear disc brake, Schwalbe SuperMoto tires, Brooks saddles.  It's been 
parked in my kitchen for nearly a year.  

I don't have any pictures available right now, but can later, if there's 
interest.

I'll let it go for a steal.  $2500 firm.  I'm not sure about shipping - 
it's too big.  I'm in Louisville, KY, and would be willing to haul it a 
reasonable distance.

[RBW] Re: Who's ridden a Steamroller and can compare to the Quickbeam?

2017-10-20 Thread David Crowell
I rode a friend's Quickbeam a few years ago.  I enjoyed it.

I ended up buying an All-City Space Horse frameset and having that built 
into a single-speed.  It has canti brakes and semi-horizontal dropouts.  I 
like the way it rides more than the QB.Different build and 
personal preference probably have more to do with it than anything else.

I've never ridden a Steamroller.

[RBW] Re: Finally building up the Hubbah Hubbah- any tips?

2017-10-20 Thread David Crowell
I don't think the timing chain is that big of a deal.  I have an old crappy 
tandem with an eccentric bottom bracket.  Adjusting it's not been difficult.

My HHH is on order.  I do intend to let my bike shop handle the build 
though - mostly due to front derailleur issues (I'm lousy at that part)  

I'll be watching this thread with interest.  :)

[RBW] Re: Dyno hub/light vibrations through handlebars question...

2015-05-09 Thread David Crowell
The vibration is normal.  Where the light is mounted makes no difference, 
but the amount of current it's pulling can.  If you like to leave your 
headlight on, the lights with daytime running-lights should reduce 
vibration during the day.

I have an older SON28 powering a BM Cyo and I can feel vibration even at 
14mph.  It's not horrible, just noticeable.

 I have a SON Deluxe wide body hub with an upside down Edelux II light.

 The light is great, but I feel some vibration in the handlebars when the 
 bike is over 20mph.

 1. Is this normal for this kind of hub?
 2. Is there any way to get rid of the vibrations?

 Light is mounted to my front rack eyelet.

That's too nice of a bike for Gravel Grovel.

I did that race twice and enjoyed it.  I'm not doing it this year.

 61cm black and cream A. Homer Hilsen set up fenderless with Surly Knard

 I know it's not all about looks, but to me, it just looks perfect. I've

 Also for anyone who wants to know, these are the folding bead 120tpi
