Hi Jeff. I have an orange , 60 frame and fork. It's built up with E bike

[RBW] Problems with Nitto stems and bars?

[Jon Dukeman,central Colorado]

Well I have searched this thread for the word TORQUE..maybe I missed it.
NITTO strongly says torque the handle bar bolt 14- 16 Nm.
My suggestion disassemble the handle bar and stem. Clean all the parts 
including any shims or spacers with alcohol . reassemble and only grease the 
threads of the M 8 handle bar bolt. And torque to 14- 16Nm

No one mentions using a torque wrench .
If the stem is a Nitto  the M8 bolt has a recommended torque of 14-16 Nm or

Re: [RBW] Possible issue with Nitto Tallux stem and Nitto Albatross bars

[Jon Dukeman,central Colorado]

Try cleaning the stem and bar where they meet of any grease or oil.
Torgue the M8 bolt to :120-140inch pounds or14-16Nm

Many times we think a bolt is tightened enough but actually isn't.
A torque wrench will prevent damage from over tightening and remove any doubt.
If you don't have a torgue wrench take your bike to your LBS and they should 
check the torque for you free of charge.
If that fails to stop the bars from slipping try shimming the stem as others 
have mentioned above.

[RBW] I RECEIVED MY SOLEREBEL SHOES

[Jon Dukeman,central Colorado]

I received my shoes today.
Unfortunately they are too small.
I put them up against my foot sketch and the outside of the shoes are close 
to my foot sketch with no room inside. Maybe  the copy of the sketch that 
was sent to use as a pattern shrunk in the transition.
I will take them to Goodwill and maybe someone can use them.  I will not 
ask for a refund or for a new pair.
Like most here I bought the shoes to first help these people and second to 
actually get a pair of shoes that fit.
I hope others here have better luck.

If this had been an American company I would of retrieved my money long ago

I wonder how many customers say "Its okay they can keep my $85."

E-mail sent today to Bethlehem. CEO , Sol Rebels shoes

Bethlehem,
You advertise shoes will be completed  around 17 days.
My order was placed over 8 weeks ago,July 27th
In an e-mail August 21st you said my shoes were being completed and you 
would be giving me a delivery conformation soon.
Its Sept 24th and I have not heard from you.
Please give me a status update and a  date my shoes will ship.
Best regards,

[RBW] Re: U locks and Pitlocks

[Jon Dukeman,central Colorado]

Sad to hear about the stolen bikes. I have Pit locks on my wheels and an  
Abus lock.I also have a Kryptonite New York. The folding ABUS lock seems to 
have more options for locking your bike . REI usually has a good selection 
of both.
I have the Abus Bordo Granite 6500 folding lock. www.abus.com
It just depends how big the bulldozer the thieves have.

Thanks Rich for posting your question as I probably run pressures higher

I've been a member for about 4 years and If I remember correctly there used to

I enjoy seeing members new builds  and how they configure their bikes and 
members product reviews.
I personally am frustrated when I post a picture it gets flipped upside down in

[RBW] Re: Sam 1x9 or 10

[Jon Dukeman,central Colorado]

My Sam is set up with a 1x9. I'm using a Shimano Altus rear derailleur , 
12- 32 cassette . I'm  using a Dura-Ace 9 speed bar end shifter mounted on 
a Paul Thumbie. I have a Sugino 36t on the front with a chain ring guard 
where the 46t chain ring used to be installed.
The indexing with the Altus Derailleur is very smooth & crisp. I understand 
why Grant raves about this derailluer.
Hope the picture loads upright.

I have two Sams( a single and double top tube ) and a Cheviot.

[RBW] BUY A FRAMESET OR JUST SOME PARTS

[Jon Dukeman,central Colorado]

Everyone here knows Rivendell means quality as well as comfort and quality 
performance. They sell what they ride and it just works.
Now is the time to buy a frameset that you have always wanted.If not for 
now maybe to build up later.
If you can't swing a frameset.Stock up some parts for your existing Riv 
bike. You are going to need at some point chains, chain rings, 
cassettes, new cables and housing, tubes & tires. How about those cork 
grips, bar tape? They would look good on that special handle bar you have 
always wanted to try. If you have a front rack you should try one of those 
Wald medium baskets with a basket net to hold your shop sack in place.
Now is the time to get parts for your salty commuter bike and be ready  for 
spring.

[RBW] Re: CANTI SAM BUILD

[Jon Dukeman,central Colorado]

Jonathon,
Thanks for the complement.
I have only ridden the canti Sam twice. Obviously the canti Sam is lighter. 
I don't plan on adding any more accessories to the Canti Sam.
I still have the double top tube Sam and it's has everything..front & back 
racks,basket  ,Fenders, Dyno hub, fr.& rear lights.Much heavier.
The canti Sam is set up exactly like the double top tube as far as 
measurements go and seems more responsive.The canti Sam has 44mm tires the 
dbl top tube has 38mm.
They both are comfortable to ride. 
I'll post more later.
You will love your Sam.It will serve you nicely however you want to set it 
up.
If you have questions ask away.
Jon

[RBW] Re: Houseless Sam Hillborne in Portland, Oregon

[Jon Dukeman,central Colorado]

LOL 
 So there is this house that has had a car parked in front of the house for 
a month.Nobody has driven it.
You decide to take it in fear that someone might start  parting out the car 
and selling the parts.
You get caught with the car and you tell the police "Officer it was parked 
in front of that house for a month.
I just took it so nobody would steal it". Officer says " Oh Okay..Put your 
hands behind your back  .
Officer gets back to the station and tells his buddies." Hey you should of 
heard the excuse a guy gave me for stealing this car.

 George, 

 I just had an identical experience with the same seller, trying to buy 
 the same item. I eventually made a claim through eBay and my money was 
 refunded today with no explanation. You can see my negative feedback here:

 http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2=holo_haleakala&&_trksid=p2047675.l2560=nc=182237433934=VIP%3Afeedback=FeedbackAsSeller

 Felt terrible leaving it, as they had a perfect record until now. All I 
 wanted was a quick note saying they'd run out and when to expect it. Or 
 even just a "sorry"! Sheesh, what a waste of time.

 What's doubly sad, I can't find anywhere else on eBay to buy helicopter 
 tape in 1" widths without expensive international shipping. ::grumble::

Leah,
Great story.I'm glad it had a happy ending.
Those are called "interval training rides" or "Sprint to the finish 
training rides".
Or "How to reach your anaerobic threshold in one mile" rides.

Re: [RBW] Re: New tires, perhaps?

[Jon Dukeman,central Colorado]

Leah,
Remember if you don't ask you will never know. Ask the bike shop for an 
exchange. Worst case they say no.You walk away unhappy and they lose a 
customer.They can put the exchanged tires on another bike or sell them at a 
reduced price.The bike shop I worked at did that all the time.The same with 
saddles. We wanted the customer to be happy.
If  flat protection is a priority

over comfort go with the Schwalbe tires.
Like others I question putting bmx tires on your bike.I'd ask them why they 
chose those tires???Almost like they were taking advantage of you.
Good luck.
Jon

Re: [RBW] Re: New tires, perhaps?

[Jon Dukeman,central Colorado]

Leah,
I wonder if your new tires have a taller profile than the old ones and that 
might be causing all the scraping of pebbles and noise from sand and 
gravel scraping the fenders.
My Sam and Cheviot have the same tires. The Sam has P45 fenders and I hear 
pebbles, & sand scraping the fender all the time.The Cheviot has P50 
fenders with more clearance and I rarely hear any scraping of pebbles or 
leaves.
Just a thought.
It might be the stickiness of the rubber throwing sand like others have 
said.
Enjoy your new ride.
Jon

Jack,
You can haul your bike into any Home Depot or good paint store...they bring 
out this tool that reads the color and then gives the recipe for the 
matching color they mix it up... You can buy a quart.
