Re: [RBW] A. Homer Hilsen Photo Thread

[David Hays]

Thanks. I searched through my old email and found I purchased it new in 2013 as 
a frame set. I’m not sure if it was a leftover at a dealer in Virginia.
I believe it was made in Taiwan. I prefer the classic look of a level top tube.

Re: [RBW] Rivendell Roadbike Curious

[David Hays]

Good morning Leah,
I’m not sure where I read it but apparently Grant had at one point been a fan 
of Mercians.
A few years after I bought and built up my 650B Homer I found a used Mercian 
KOM on Craigslist. I’ve since picked up another off the list and had one 
purpose built for me. Very comfortable and fast. Some thing to consider.

Cheers,
David

Re: [RBW] Roadini Feedback

[David Hays]

If one is considering the Malocchio, I would check out the Romanceur Canti.
Very light weight with the Reynolds 853 tubing, no strange brake matching and 
greater tire compatibility.
I love mine.

Re: [RBW] microSHIFT rear derailleurs

[David Hays]

Although the R10 RD-R47 box specifies a max of 28 tooth cassette, as it’s a 
long cage, does anyone have any experience with it working up to 32 or so?
Thanks.

I imagine if you use Strava you can find people who have ridden the same

[RBW] 2020 Appaloosa Paint

[David Hays]

I foolishly forgot to set he limiting screws o the front derailleur of my 
orange 2020 Appaloosa before loaning it to my nephew to ride with me. He 
shifter beyond the small ring dropping the chain that wedged between the 
crank and the chain stay. My fault. Darn. 
Later at home I pulled the drive side releasing the chain and discovered a 
large gouge in the chain stay. Does anybody have an idea of the best 
Testor's or other match for the 2020 orange to touch it up and prevent 
rust? It's behind the smallest wheel of the crank so barely visible but I 
certainly don't want to neglect it.
Thanks.
David in Buffalo, New York

Re: [RBW] Sam sizing advice

[David Hays]

Will,
I second what Jason said.
I’m 5’ 71/2”. Maybe 5’8” on a good day with a tailwind.
I have a PBH of 83 and ride a 56cm Homer from the time they ran 650B.
I’m running Hetres and am quite comfortable with ‘space’ and fit.
Best.

Re: [RBW] Who is using bike lights?

[David Hays]

Joel,
Another thing I find critical to feeling safe and I’m not sure if anyone 
brought it up is a mirror.
It helps so much to be aware of things especially as one's flexibility isn’t 
what it once was.

Re: [RBW] Can I fit J. App. or AHH in back of Civic or Impreza with back seat down?

[David Hays]

In 2018 I bought a VW Golf Alltrack. It gets 38mpg on trips and can take my 
Homer without removing any wheels to keep it safe.
I also had a hitch installed so I can put a rack on to carry more bikes and not 
have to lift them overhead after a long ride.

Re: [RBW] Appaloosa Presale

[David Hays]

Thanks,
On the Riv website on the Appaloosa as opposed to some other models I saw no 
mention of needing a longer chain but I moved to the middle chain ring before 
before chain to another gear and just have the standard chain length.
Suggestions? Should I add additional chain?

Re: [RBW] Roof-topping a Clem L

[David Hays]

My friend crashed an Eddie Merckx. He kept it a number of years just to remind 
him of what he’d done.
Nowadays I just had a trailer hitch installed on my VW Alltrack as,  even 
though I have a car top bicycle rack, I know turning 70 I won’t be getting 
stronger.

Re: [RBW] Weight weenie report. Dia Compe 980 brakes

[David Hays]

Hi Angelo,
In just went out and checked my RB-t. I had gone with Shimano of similar style 
but not exeactly the same as my model and especially tight canti post 
clearances.
I have ordered a set of these for my Appaloosa that’s on it’s way.
I’ll let you know how they are.

Re: [RBW] Re: daily post ur riv

[David Hays]

Thanks Rich and Bill. It’s a Toyo from the first design when the list price was 
$2400 for the frame, fork and headset. It’s a 56 650b that does take Hetres and 
fenders with a little work and has the flat top tube that I prefer 
aesthetically.

I just put them on mine and they fit quite nicely and have nice finish to fit

Still having to fine tune the noise out of the front brake.

Beautiful but so noisy. People suggested I just keep peddling to stop the

I don’t see any limitation in the bike other than what I decide.

[David Hays]

Thanks for the wonderful news and story Mark.
Made my day.
David


 On Jun 22, 2015, at 8:39 PM, Mark Wilkins wilkins.m...@gmail.com wrote:
 
 The past few hours have been an emotional roller coaster, to say the least.
 
 Driving home from work, I was coming down 2nd street in Harrisburg.  I
 always turn left at Market St, to head over the Market St bridge.
 There is a bike rack at the corner, and I usually sweep my eyes over,
 still hopeful that I will find my bike.
 
 I literally couldn't believe it when I saw it chained to the rack.  I
 quickly parked on a side street, fed the meter (not enough, as I ended
 up with a $30 parking ticket), and sat down on the concrete benches
 outside the Dauphin County Administration Building.  Homeless people
 often hang out here, and many of them gave me a wary eye as I sat
 there for over two hours.
 
 My Ram was one of four bikes chained to the rack when I first arrived.
 Around 5:30, a kitted-up commuter came out and started to fiddle with
 the rack.  My heart was beating out of my chest, until I realized his
 was a different bike.
 
 Not much happened until 6:00, when someone started serving food to the
 homeless at the bus station across the street.  All of the men that
 had been sitting near my bike got up and walked over, except for one.
 I started to get really nervous, thinking that this guy was on to me,
 but nothing ever came of it.
 
 Shortly after that, a man came up to the rack, and unlocked an orange
 Mongoose MTB.  My heart raced again, but now I was just hoping the
 police would get there before something else happened.  With only two
 bikes left, I noticed that my Ram and a BMX-type bike were actually
 sharing the same lock.
 
 I tried calling Harrisburg police again, but they couldn't give me an
 ETA on when they would arrive (the HPD is 1.5 blocks from where my
 bike was found).  Frustrated, I tried calling my local PD again, and
 was able to reach the officer that had originally filed my report,
 back in December.  I talked to him for a few minutes, and he said he
 would drive over to Harrisburg.
 
 Skip forward to almost 7pm.  A guy I'd seen hanging around comes over
 to the rack, and begins to undo the lock.  I kept fairly still,
 sitting 15 feet away, but had the video cam running on my phone.  At
 first I thought he was going to just take the BMX bike and relock my
 Ram, but then he wrapped up the cable and took both bikes off the
 rack.
 
 Now I was starting to get panicky.  I couldn't believe that after six
 months of missing my bike, and 2 hours of sitting on a concrete bench,
 that I was going to lose it again.  I stood up, only to keep filiming.
 The guy slowly rolled the bikes across the street, toward the bus
 station.  My heart was sinking.
 
 Just then, the officer from Camp Hill (my town) pulled up to the
 intersection.  I waved my arms at him and pointed to the guy rolling
 the bikes across the street.  He saw me, and pulled into the bus
 station, where the guy had stopped with the bikes.
 
 I hung back a little, but was close to enough to hear the
 conversation.  My bike had been in the possession of a homeless man,
 who had bought it from a hardware store down the street for $30().
 The officer talked with him for a while, and then Harrisburg PD
 finally showed up.  The officer from Camp Hill took the bike with him,
 as I still need to prove that it is mine (didn't have the serial
 number).  The man who had the bike was let go, and the dozen or so
 homeless people watched it all unfold from the bike rack where my bike
 had been.
 
 The bike has definitely been outside a great deal since it left my
 garage in December.  There are a number of scratches on the top tube,
 and the Honey B17 looks like it has aged years.  The headlight I had
 mounted to the left side of my fork was dangling, rubbing against the
 spokes.
 
 But to think that the bike I love so much is on its way home...it's
 almost too much to comprehend.  The bike that was my first Father's
 Day gift in 2005.  The bike that has towed our son for hundreds of
 miles; first in a Burley trailer, then a trail-a-bike.  The bike that
 rode alongside him as he learned to ride on his own.  The bike that
 had given me so much joy, and been part of so many of my memories...is
 almost mine again.
 
 Thanks for reading,
 
 Mark

[RBW] Homer and Ostrich

[David Hays]

I'm looking to carry my Ostrich 104 bag on a Mark's Rack on my Homer using 
a Velo Orange decaleur. I don't think this is all that unlikely a scenario 
and wondered if anyone has any suggestions.
It currently can sit flat on the rack or attach to the decaleur with the 
front off the rack. Should I get longer struts and raise the front of the 
rack or carefully bend the declarer. Thoughts?
Thanks.

[RBW] Re: Repair help needed - Stuck stem expander wedge

Great news. Nice to have that out of the way.
I’d suggest the 25.4 stem which will take a wide variety of bars and leave

 Good news - my wedge is no longer stuck!

 At the suggestion of Bill (and implied by several others), I cut a board 
 that would fit over the head tube.  I drilled a hole in the board that was 
 large enough for the stem bolt.  Then I simply screwed the bolt into the 
 wedge and kept screwing until the wedge unstuck itself and I could pull 
 it right out of the head tube.  This was an easy solution to my problem, 
 and certainly less work than pulling off the fenders, brakes, etc.

 The next step in the process for me is a new stem.  I will be placing an 
 order from Rivendell today before the 6% off coupon expires.  I need to 
 decide whether to order a 25.4 clamp to go with my albatross bars (which 
 was the point of this little project) or to order a 26.0 clamp.  I have a 
 sham to use the larger stem with my albatross bars.  Getting the bigger 
 size also allows me to switch back to the noodles at some point if I decide 
 that the albatross bars are not for me.  However, a 25.4 clamp size without 
 a shim would be a better fit for the albatross bars.  What to do, what to 
 do? 

 Thanks for all of the help with my stuck stem wedge.

Re: [RBW] Naked cotton tape

[David Hays]

Has anyone tried Nikwax on their bar tape?

 beeswax or one of the wax formulations for canvas like Fjallraven's Greenland 
 wax. Surely someone has waxed canvas barrage before?

[RBW] Re: Dajia Rear Rack and new Clem Pump

[David Hays]

Thanks Aaron, I was very please when I saw it and grabbed it when the 
gentleman said $100.
I switched the wheels and added the racks but don't know about what is 
original otherwise.
It has SunTour AR4 derailleurs front and rear and very dark green 
unfinished-not shellacked cotton bar tape that really looks nice.
Looking to replicate it on my Mercian so based on Rivendell's chart picked 
up their dark green Newbaums-which is quite bright but according to their 
chart should darken down to match with 2-3 of amber shellac. The other 
option is Green Grips dark green that looks like it's spot on but an 
unknown quantity in terms of durability uncovered. 
Thanks for the support.

Thanks Peter.
Do you know how well the Viva wears not shellacked?
If you look at the picture of my Trek the green is even darker like the 
Green Grips:

I thought the very dark green would work well with the brighter metallic of 
my Mercian.

 Hi folks,

 I am contemplating a winter project that would convert an early 1990 Trek 
 520 touring bike into an around town grocery getter  and/or bike trail, 
 easy cruising bike.  My plan is to swap out the Noodle bars on my Trek for 
 Albastache bars.

 From what I have read, this looks to be a pretty easy conversion.  The bar 
 end shifters that I have on the Noodles should work on the Albastache 
 bars.  I should also be able to swap over the brake levers from the Noodle 
 to the Alnbastache (I've got the original levers - non-aero, 
 non-brifters).   Is there something that I am missing?  Will be cable 
 lengths be similar or will I likely need new cables?

 For as long as I can remember, every bike that I have ever ridden has used 
 drop bars, so I contemplate this shift with both excitement and a bit of 
 apprehension.  After all, why mess with something that works?  On the other 
 hand, I think that this conversion will bring new life to a bike that does 
 not get used very often.

 One other thought, what color Newbaum tape do you suggest to best match an 
 Brooks B-17 honey saddle that has some years on it?

 Thanks for your thoughts.

 Hey All,
 I bought an 84 Stumpy Sport new back then. I rode it for over twenty years

 for $50 and ride it daily. I won't argue about the ride except to say that I 
 have always really liked it. I can say for certain that they are 
 extraordinarily durable, ride easy, and have an odd ability to ride nicely 
 both laden and unladen. No other bike has done that last one for me. This is 
 why I am so interested in some of the more recent RBW framesets. I also have 
 an early 90's steel Rockhopper hard tail that I like for different reasons. 
 They are very different bikes.

Does begin to make me wonder….
A friend offered me this a few years ago as he and his wife had new hybrid

I was beginning to have few many bikes and said I’d see if I found anyone 
interested.
He said it was a 1984:

 I've never been a racer, always a rider and have loved my Albas for the

 cheaper way to go.  Intrigued by more positions, I'm going to try it out. 
 After 20 miles I'm thinking I'll be back on Albas in a year, so I won't 
 throw them away! 

 This cockpit change thing is fiddly. Some things: 
 Where do you put the rear derailer cable in relation to marks rack and 
 Wald basket? Under? Behind? 

 Where do you run the brake cables in relation to the bars? If you took a 
 cross section looking from the stem, would the cable be at 9, 730, or 6 
 o'clock for the right side? (Got that image?) 

 How do you lengthen cable and housing. That's kind of a joke, because I 
 cut it too short, but if you have a little extra cable CAN you throw in a 
 little section of housing? Or will it buckle? 

 I am going to ride a hundred miles or at least fifty before I wrap them!
