[RBW] Re: [650B] Re: and now a 42mm 650B Pasela
These don't seem to have a boutique price to me. $50 per tires at a brick and mortar shop seems about right for a Pasela PT in (almost) 2015. Last time I priced Pasela TG in 700c they were $45ish. This same 650b tire in wire bead has a riv retail of $38 which seems pretty swell by my wallet. I bet there is a non PT (new style of TG tires) version for even less. Online retailers often have Paselas on sale at a very low margin but that is a different economic model and I don't feel the comparison is fair. I would buy these tires if I had a 650b that I didn't ride that often and just wanted tires on it for the occasional trip. Unfortunately Panaracer used the thicker and less comfortable tread pattern they have on this run of tires.

The non-Tg wire bead Paselas are commonly available in the low $20 range (sometimes even lower on sale) and the folding TG models in the $30 bracket. As Steve P said I don't feel a folding TG Pasela should be in the same price bracket as a Hetre (which is already about the same price as high end Challenge clinchers for example). Presumably that means Merry Sales has them, so your LBS can get it for you as well.

Re: [RBW] There will be a SILVER crank late in 2015
My guess is that the new crank is a 110 with 74 and 58 triple drillings, like how some TA zephyr models came. That crank offers a wide variety of adjustability and differing setups.

Re: [RBW] Anyone using the VO Rando rack with integrated decaler on their Rivbike?
The velo orange rando rack does not attach to the front or rear of the brake bolt, rather, it attaches to the underside of the fork with a daruma. This can be the same daruma bolt that fenders are attached to if needed. I had one of these racks (non built in decaleur) and the workmanship was quite bad. The welds were big and uneven, and the tang that fits under the fork crown was welded on off center. My experience was that the rack twisted and flexed along the tang, and rotated under even the lightest loads. It is a challenge to mount a front rack to a bike with side pull brakes no matter how you slice it. Jason SF,CA On Oct 27, 2014, at 3:44 PM, lungimsam john11.2...@gmail.com wrote: 1.

Re: [RBW] Looking for a 54cm rambouillet
Rod, That bike you describe is very worthy. I had that same model once upon a time. I would like to point out that even if 32/33mm tires can fit under fender on this bike. It is far from ideal; most fenders wont work, the brake choice matters as well a few smaller factors. I eventually switched to 28mm tires under fenders or 32 without (larger can fit). All of the factors had to line up in a certain way for the fender and 32+ to fit and it was troublesome for me to keep the setup just so.

Re: [RBW] Berthoud Fenders on Saluki/AHH
When I had my Saluki, an early cantilever one, I used Berthoud 60mm stainless fenders. The 50mm model did not offer enough clearance on the sides of the Hetres for my tastes. Perhaps a bike with more vertical clearance can work with the 50mm fenders easier. Others have used them but I much prefer a flatter, wider fender profile. The fenders are often sold as 26x60mm. They work over 42-45mm 650b fenders with no hassle. Keep in mind that you will need to trim the fork crown daruma to clear the tire.

Re: [RBW] Quickbeam 52cm?
I have an 80cm PBH and ride a 54cm Quickbeam. To my measurements a 52 would be too small and cramped for drops and certainly so for upright bars. I think all the runs of the Quickbeam included a 54cm size. If you decide to change your sizing up you will have access to the orange models and 700c wheels.

Trying to figure out: 1. sizing - What size quickbeam for an 80 PBH? I see a few links around that have PBH and frame sizes but they tend to be bigger frame sizes and pbh. After some searching I seem to remember seeing someone with a 52cm frame and an 80 PBH. 2. availability - were the 50 and 52 frame sizes only available in Silver/650b? Did any of the other production runs include those sizes? I'm drawn to the Orange color, but don't want to get my hopes up if it was never made in my size. 3. Sam Hillborne - would this be a good alternative to be built up as a similar 2 speed single / fixie like a quickbeam? I guess this question is very subjective and no reason I couldn't, but would it need a tensioner? What are the disadvantages other than having to use spacers and possibly a tensioner?

[RBW] Praise to panaracer

Re: [RBW] Re: Praise to panaracer
Yes. :) The make those as well as Grand Bois, Bruce Gordan RR, Rivendell, Soma, Pacenti, and I might have forgotten some. One good example of this is the SomaX Ocean Air Cycles co venture - the Soma CLine. The Cline is essentially a supple 38mm folding version of the Pasela 700x37c tire but with no added flat protection (low pressure and careful riding do enough for many folks) and the tread from the 35mm Pasela, with multiple color options. All of the tire lines I mentioned above have some grand-slam-dunks. Find some that fit the bikes you ride and give them a go.

Re: [RBW] Re: Quickbeam's Pedigree...
You are right about the slackening of the angles when sliding the wheel back. For some reason I wasn't imagining the hub as the fixed point. The ram only had a 73degree ht angle in size 60 and above. Below that it ranged from 71-72.5 in for different angles depending on frame size. QB had a 72.5 ht on all sizes 54-68. I don't know about the 650b wheeled 52 and 50cm sizes. The rodeo and ram do not share the same geometry, although they are similar. The Roadeo has varied st and ht angles depending on size.

Re: [RBW] Quickbeam's Pedigree...
If i remember correctly: typically a reynolds 753 tubeset was 757 with an 858 down tube. The 753 rivendells had a longer 7 section in the seat tube. Reynolds 531c was slightly thicker inside with 858 and a 10710 downtube. Reynolds 501 and some of the ishiwatta tubes where 969 in all tubes. These tubesets had only two thicknesses on the seat tube: 969 would have a 96 seat tube and 858 would be 85, etc Of course this only amounts to good archival information and a bike frame is more than the sum of it's parts.

Re: [RBW] Re: Wtb a quickbeam 54cm
Yes. It almost certainly will. I was allowing for repaints or possible transition period models with green paint and fork eyelets (do those exist?). I don't know what it is about kickstands plates that bother me. I just don't like the aesthetics of the plate and never use a kickstand. I don't have an out of sight, out of mind personality. Rather, I get obsessive about small details. The m12 racks are slick but the 32F has the same finish as my nitto rear rack and would allow my to use Paul brakes without the rack being far out in front of the fork blades. The tragic thing is I could have bought one of two different beams a couple months back but I was too wishy washy about the details and they both got away. Oh well. I have plenty of time. :) Jason On Mar 21, 2014, at 1:29 PM, Philip Williamson philip.william...@gmail.com wrote: So that narrows it to an orange one, right?

Re: [RBW] Best Nitto handlebars for Shimano 105 shifters?
The combination of shimano sti levers, which have long hoods, and nitto noodle bars is not ideal. The hood length on non sti brake levers is much shorter - my guess would be about 1.5cm shorter. Nitto noodles already have a long ramp. That, and the location of the curve make the noodle/sti match troublesome. The shape of shimano's sti levers does not help the matter. Try nitto bars with a shorter ramp and different curve profile. M176, M185, M186, and M195 The 185 has a more traditional bend than some of the others. Noodles have a reach of 96mm, if you move to a bar with a reach of around 80mm it should work better. I recently went through this process, hence all the information. I opted to go with ritchey biomax bars. Here is a link to someone's blog (not mine) that includes a pretty exhaustive list of Nitto handlebars and their information. http://stuffdavelikes.wordpress.com/a-full-list-of-nitto-bars/ jason SF,CA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Best Nitto handlebars for Shimano 105 shifters?
Rob, Ergobrifters have a different shape than shimano STI. The Campi models are more forgiving of bar shape. You might be right about being leas sensitive though. The challenge comes when about one wants multiple hand positions. SRAM levers have adjustable lever distance. Maybe that is a solution for you?

[RBW] Tires in the Goldilocks zone (was Grant on tires)
I bet Riv will stock the new Soma Grand Randonneur tires. I could see the brown sidewall enforced model being a big hit with them. They look like they could be a road slick cousin to the FFFR. I think that tire in particular seems like a gateway into either more supple tire options, or more stout tire options, depending.

Re: [RBW] Appaloosa Prototype on Blug?
Starting sometime in 2011 or 2012 Grant had some frames built with a second set of chainstays that extended from the added diagonal tube. These extra chainstays eventually morphed into a decorative option where the stays bent whimsically in opposing directions. The tentacular stays made it onto a few bombadils, the pre-order appaloosa models, and Leisel's custom, among others. As this blue bike is a prototype is could be missing the special stays as a future cost saving measure, or as a cost/time reduction for prototyping. We will just have to wait and see. I have a hard time seeing the advantage of this bike model over the Cheviut or the Bombadil special order model. That said, it looks like it is going to be a great bicycle and I am sure everyone who buys one will be more than pleased.

Re: [RBW] Poll: What are your single speed gears?
Bill, Your math and plan seem spot on! FWIW the dos eno freewheels come in a 2 tooth difference. 16/18, 17/19, or 20/22. If you have a secret vender for a 16/19 (or greater) let me know. I would buy one in a heartbeat. I have recently gotten back into single speed riding and on my Trek I have a 42x20 freewheel. I had plans to use a two speed fixed gear setup but ended up with a white industries wheelset. They make two speed freewheels but need proprietary fixed gear cogs. My freewheel set up with 57 gearing works well for me here in the san francisco hills. My two speed plan were to use a 17/21 Surly Dingle cog and a 38x34 110 crankset. Which would yield a high gear of 60 and a low of 44. The 60 gear would be my all around gear and the low gear would just be used as a knee saver for long and steep climbs or a slow gear for dirt paths. To me the 4t total difference from the dos eno freewheels is good for terrain changes (roads to offroad for example) but don't offer the same sort of flat ground to steep hill change you may be looking for. Single speeds are so sweet though, once you find a gear that works you don't miss the other ones. Jason sf,ca On Mar 12, 2014, at 12:10 PM, Bill Lindsay tapebu...@gmail.com wrote: I have a build concept for a SimpleBeam kind of thing. The steep hill I live on completely rules out a singlespeed for the uphill part, and rules out riding fixed for the downhill part. Still, I notice that for my commute I use a particular small handful of gears. It makes me think that it is plausible for me to build a 2-speed, using a White 16/19 on the back and two chainrings on the front with 3-teeth of difference, so I could have one rear wheel position. Right now my concept is a 35/38 in front with the 16/19 in back. My two gears: 35x19 and 38x16 would be 50 and 64 with 27 diameter wheels (700x32). On a 110mm BCD, I could alternatively easily run a 36/39, a 39/42, a 40/43 or a 42/45 in front without having to chase down any weird chainrings. On a 94mm BCD, I could run a 29/32 for offroady stuff. As a shifting maneuver, I'd loosen the right side bolt. Stick-shift the chain from big-to-small and then from small-to-big. Then tighten the right side bolt again and ride away. Anyway, by my numbers, spinning at 110RPM with a 27 diameter wheel is 21mph, which is plenty fast for road cruising for me, especially when I can coast downhills. I think I can handle the 50 gear up my hill as well. I wonder what others feel they need. I know Patrick Moore zens out with a slow metronome cadence climbing with 70-something gear inches.

Re: [RBW] Re: Brifters on a country bike
Per the OP question: yes, ride brifters it sounds like a good setup. FWIW campi and Sram integrated brake shifters have shorter hoods than Shimano shaped levers. The campi and Sram style are also more similar in shape to each other, and similar in shape to brake only levers. For me there is a sweet spot for bar setup that puts the flat section of bars, brake levers, ramps, and bar to brake transition angle that was greatly disrupted when attempting to mate Shimano 10s brifters with nitto noodle bars. I switched to ritchey biomax bars with a short ramp to compensate for the shape of the levers. The campi and sram levers are easier to achieve the right balance with traditional shaped bars.

Re: [RBW] Just what is oversized tubing?
AASHTA From Sheldon Brown's glossary Larger in diameter than the traditional sizes. This term is commonly used forheadsets and frame tubing. Oversized parts are stiffer, and can be lighter for their weight if the walls are made thin enough. If the walls become too thin, however, they become too easy to damage by denting. Traditional forks used 1 (25.4 mm) diameter steerers. Oversized steerers are 1 1/8 (28.6 mm) or, less commonly, 1 1/4 (31.8 mm). Details on sizes are listed under headsets. Traditional frames used 1 (25.4 mm) top tubes, 1 1/8 (28.6 mm) seat tubesand down tubes, and 1 1/4 (31.8 mm) head tubes. When BMX racing became popular, frames built to these old standards couldn't always hold up to the rigors of BMX competition. Since the wide availability of T.I.G. welding freed designers from the need to use tubes that would fit standard-size lugs, oversized tubing became the norm for BMX frames. This design and technology were later adopted by builders of mountain bikes. In the interest of improved chainwheel/tire clearance, some mountain bikes have oversized bottom brackets, with a shell width of 73 mm, rather than the standard 68 mm.

Re: [RBW] Re: quickbeam/S.O. questions
Philip, Looking over your flickr photostream I think you are just the person to ask a few questions of. :) What was your experience like with the dingle (double singlespeed for the archives) setup? I am very curious about this setup option. How is the sizing on the quickbeam? Long? Tall? Short? Stout? I hope that question makes sense. I have owned both a Saluki and a Rambouillet and they fit a bit different from each other. How did you decide on the size you got? Any fender solutions that worked better than others? Is the rear facing track ends easier or more difficult to fender mod than forward facing drop outs?

[RBW] why asymetric?
I was giving my commuter bike CBO a quick check over and noticed that the crankset sits asymetric to the frame. It has never bothered me but my question is - aside from cranks that are made offset so an asymetrical BB actually aligns them symetrically - what is the purpose of asymetrical BBs? I imagine the argument that it allows the chainrings to clear the chainstay, or chainline to be zeroed in and usually people dont notice could be made. I have a hard time imagining a design that intends someone's legs to pedal like that for long periods of time. Does anyone know an historic or design origin for the asym bb?

Re: [RBW] why asymetric?
So the theory is that low q is ranked higher than having one's legs/feet/ankles rotating in different circles? That doesn't sit right with me but i am probably over thinking it. Rivendell's advocacy of pedaling free would address this issue but I don't care for it. It doesn't bother me on my commute bike with toe clips but on other bikes with spd style clips i worry it would cause issues. I don't know enough about annatomy and leg mechanics to confirm that however. This was also sent as a reply to group via phone test. Patrick Moore if you get this twice then it has started working.

Re: [RBW] 56 cm Sam Hillborne or wait for the 58 cm?

So..should I get a 56 web special, save a few bucks, enjoy the standover clearance but risk wishing the tt were longer, or get the new 58 at a higher price which I suspect would fit my upper body length better but might a little much in standover height? I'm pretty sure Riv would recommend going bigger. At PBH of 87.5 I just barely make the 58 cm Sam cutoff of 87 and up. 87 is also the max listed for the new 55.

Re: [RBW] Re: WTB: Nitto Soba Handlebars
I hope this clears up the confusion: The picture in the flickr post shows a comparison between B177 Nitto Noodle Bars Soba version and the RM 013 Nitto Dirt Drop Bar. The bar on the top of the pic is the Dirt Drop with the clamp sleve, flat bar and wide flare. - size 48 (of 46, 48, and 51 options) The bar on the bottom is the Soba with a backward bend to the bars, clamp bulge, and less flare. - size 46 (of 41,42,44,46, and maybe 48 options) The picture is mislabeled - or deceptively labeled. In English we read from top to bottom, left to right. The bar on the top should intuitively be the first one listed in the caption, it isn't. I think the Soba version of Nitto bars has a different production number than B177 but I could not find and answer to that.

Re: [RBW] Gofast!!!
Patrick, How much would you estimate the wheel size has to do with the speed and comfort between the two bikes as well? Jason SF, CA On Jul 16, 2013, at 3:44 PM, Patrick Moore bertin...@gmail.com wrote: Rode South from my mother's house to home this afternoon, on the Ram, the freewheel taking advantage of the ~400 foot descent. Just shy of 17 mph average clock running. 70 gear all the way. SE 3/4 sidewind; 5 miles of the 11 in the hooks. On t'way back, rode the '99 Joe gofast fixed gear, same SE sidewind, 400 foot climb, 3/4 of which on one 4/10 mile hike up the side of the mesa. Just shy of 15 mph clock running. The Ram has very nice, plump 30 mm Parigi Roubaix, tho' not the original hand glued ones; the gofast has supple but too skinny 22 mm Michelin Pro Race 3s. As much as I like the Ram, the gofast just feels bester and fatter -- I mean, better and faster. Usually on a fixed at 65 to 70 I bail for the last 2/10 mile on the steep climb, for the steepest section, but I consistently make it all the way up on the gofast despite the higher gear (I climb it in a 50 on the Ram). Somehow, the '99 has hit all the magic numbers: setback, tilt, height, bar height, reach, lever angle, bar angle. The '03 errand Curt that largely mimics the '99 is very close but not exact; I tilted the bar upward a wee bit yesterday and now it is almost spot on. The Ram, I think, needs the bar to come up 1/4 or so: right now it is about 1/2 higher than those of the two customs, but with a 9 cm stem instead of 8s, about 1/2 further forward (saddle much the same). I did raise the brake levers about 1/2, so I'll try that before fiddling with bar height.

Re: [RBW] Brooks Cambium C-17 First Look
I was just thinking that I hope Riv gets a few of these saddles in stock. They have been supportive of Brooks as a brand and cyclists who want alternatives to leather products in the past so it seems plausible. I don't need a new saddle but I am curious how this compares to my Brooks. FWIW I think Brooks is marketing this saddle as an all weather model and giving that reason for the change in materials. I would be shocked if consumer requests for a non-leather saddle made in a hammock style like their other saddles are was not part of their decision process though.

The times that I have tried Mustache Bars I felt like I could never get them high enough. I think the relaxed drop on these new style bars would have helped in those situations.

Re: [RBW] Re: What is the Rivish upgrade from Synergy rims?
Toshi, Is this with 650b or 700c tires? On May 23, 2013, at 9:36 AM, Toshi Takeuchi tto...@gmail.com wrote: I like the A23 rims as a lighter faster rim, but it is harder to mount tires on them compared to the Synergy rim, for which I don't need tools to mount a tire. Whereas, with the A23s, I definitely need levers. This means longer flat repair times for me, but maybe it will get easier as the tires wear in...
