[RBW] Re: Thoughts on gravel "races" and events

[Kevin Mulcahy]

Advice from a fellow Laterne Rouge gravel/endurance rider: prepare yourself 
to be riding alone, it's bound to happen unless you've planned ahead with 
friends or somehow make friends along the way during the ride. On long 
distance events it happens to everyone, actually, even the fast people in 
the front and mid-pack. It'll also happen on rando rides and mtb events. 
That's because these events are mostly structured as as events where people 
can make very-personal achievements. They aren't team events. Even most of 
people in "pelotons" are basically riding alone. I mean, if they stop for a 
pee break, the group would drop them in a heartbeat. 

I'd also like to caution against judging people for wearing lycra and 
riding fast. That alone doesn't make someone Type-A, or whatever, and it 
doesn't mean they are somehow having less fun. There's plenty of 
over-thinking anal retentive slow riders, and gifted people who are having 
the time of their lives while shredding with the best of them. 

A few weeks ago I finished a +100 mile mtb race a full *10 hours* slower 
than the winner. About 2/3rds of the way through the ride I teamed up with 
a fellow slow rider, and I'd argue that our ride was way more epic and 
memorable than the racey guy's. Plus, I left the ride with a new friend.

I know you said that it happens when you’re seated or standing, but I’d still

I’m just saying that because half the time I’ve been hunting down a creak that 
seems to be coming from the crank/BB, it turns out to be the saddle

[RBW] New bike woes - Albatross bars and Brooks B17 Special saddle

[Kevin Mulcahy]

Obviously, saddle comfort is very personal. B17s are too wide for me, even on 
upright bikes, and I’m not a super skinny guy. I use a carved C15 and it feels 
dreamy. 

I think a good general rule of thumb is that you’d need a +4cm reach from your 
road bike to fit an alba. I think that’s Grants advice, right? I’m running that 
and I love the fit. It puts the forward-most hand position at the same distance 
as my hoods on the road bike.

Re: [RBW] Re: Recommendations for satellite mapping thing

[Kevin Mulcahy]

I have an Element. I think it's a *great *bike GPS computer, but navigation 
off piste is not it's strong point, at all. If you're planning your route 
ahead of time (with ridewithGPS), it'll be perfect. But if you're trying to 
wayfind in a remote location, you're going to be SOL. There's no topo info, 
you can't pan/scan in the device, you can't add new routes without a 
companion phone with internet access. In short, improvisation on mtb trails 
or off pavement is hard. The Element displays some, but not all mtb/hiking 
trails. 

When I'm on riding in a remote area, I use the Element in conjunction with 
a companion map app on my phone where I can download maps ahead of time, 
like google maps, MotionX GPS, or Avenza. These apps will place your 
location on your choice of style of map. Having both devices is really 
important if you need to improvise.

Now, On-One is a company who has business strategy involves blatantly ripping

I don’t think the Wavy bar is ground breaking or totally reductive. It is a 
little narrow, IMO, for an trail-riding bar.

Re: [RBW] Re: Seeking wisdom of 29+ bikepacking vs. 2.1”

[Kevin Mulcahy]

I was giving your question some thought and although I've never ridden mtb 
fixed, I have ridden about 2,000 miles of trail on my 29+ over the past 
couple years. One thing I've noticed with 29+ is that holding momentum is 
key. I've found that you've got to accelerate earlier and with more effort 
through corners and up and down the rollers in order to hold your speed on 
the flats. Although it feel like more work at times, it kinda evens out 
because those big wheels carry the momentum well since they aren't hampered 
as much by rolling over roots and rocks. The way I ride is that I hammer at 
the top of rollers and just kinda steamroll though any trail chatter, 
mongolian stlye, in order to get me up the other side. We've got a lot or 
rollers and short/intense climbs here where I ride. the same goes with 
rockgardens and root bunches, I just point 'n shoot and unweight my bike as 
much as possible and try to let let the tires do the work.  I'm not sure 
you'd be able to do that in quite the same way while riding fixed, is that 
right? 

So what I trying to say, is that those techniques that I use that seem to 
make 29+ work for me, all involve coasting!

[RBW] Re: Stem and Bar for Roadini

[Kevin Mulcahy]

The Noodles have a lot more reach and drop compare to something like a 
Cowbell. I'd suggest setting up the bar so you can use the drops 
comfortably. Because of that long flat section on the tops, I think the 
Noodles work good with a smaller lever (like the Tiagra one Riv sells). 
Otherwise, with modern levers you kinda loose that "pocket" behind the 
lever and instead have more of super long flat area like a TT bullhorn bar. 

I had some 46cm Noodles on my tandem, but didn't really like the deep drop 
and long ramps. I like the B115 or B135 a little better, but otherwise I'm 
a fan of the more modern compact bars.

[RBW] Re: How to select a Brooks saddle

[Kevin Mulcahy]

The C17 is too wide for me, even on upright bikes. I use one for a couple 
years on my comutter but it  caused some pain on my inner thighs on rides 
over 20 miles. I now use the C15 on two of my most-ridden bikes and 
rally like it. One slotted and one standard. I agree that the carved 
version is more comfortable and I use that one on my rigid mtb, where the 
extra spring comes in handy. I'm not sure why Riv doesn't sell the 15. 

For me, B17s were always most comfortable right outta the box, and once 
they grew more hammocky I'd need to start tilting the nose up and then 
eventually that led to other issues. I still use a B17 on my tandem, but I 
don't put a whole lot of miles on the bike. I certainly wouldn't use a 
nose-up saddle on hillybike bike, you're just asking to get skewered.

participated in the local endurance mtb series, and just put a ton of miles 
on my mtb...Eventually I started losing weight and getting faster on my 
bike. I ended up finishing the race 37th out of 250, and made it under my 
goal of 9 hours. I rode my Trek Stache, a rigid 29+ MMB, setup with Jones 
bars. 

I've never really done anything "hard" like that before, and it was pretty 
awesome process to watch my mph go up while by lbs went down. Next year, I 
hope to complete the MG100, stay healthy and injury free, and have more 
laid back fun on the bike. I've been riding about 3,000 miles the last few 
years and that seems about right for me.

Re: [RBW] Re: In praise of fixed mountain riding

[Kevin Mulcahy]

What gearing combinations are other people using? 48/18 seems really high to me 
for road riding, so I can’t imagine riding trails with it. Heck, I’m in my 
28/46 combo for just about every climb.

[RBW] Appaloosa vs road bike - (pointless) 19 mile commute time comparison

[Kevin Mulcahy]

Its pretty cool to see your data verifies two similar bikes with the same tires 
on an uber-flat course will be about the same speed. 

Get those bikes pointed uphill and I’m sure we’d see a difference.

[RBW] Re: About a crash a Riv could have prevented

[Kevin Mulcahy]

Maybe your friend was trying to shift his gears with a stick when they 
crashed, or their fender jammed, or their overloaded Wald basket/nitto rack 
failed into their front wheel? ;-)

My point is, any bike rider can wipe out. V-brakes can have the same type 
of on/off problems with modulation that you're referring to with disk 
brakes, but I don't think disks are inherently more dangerous. There's many 
situations or environments where they could be easily be seen as being more 
safe. My experience with disk brakes has been super positive; even the 
cheapo hydro models are so much nicer that cantis IMO.

[RBW] FS: Jerseys, shorts, knickers - Ibex, Giro, Club Ride, Novara

[Kevin Mulcahy]

I've dropped some weight this year and need to clean out some stuff that 
doesn't really work for me anymore. 

   - Ibex Jersey: $35. Large. Blue. No pockets. Very good condition
   - Ibex bib shorts: $20 obo. Large. Decent condition except for holes on 
   the inner thigh where my old Sella Anatomica wore the material at an 
   accelerated rate. Could be great as liner. 
   - Ibex Knickers $60. Large. Like new. Worn twice. 
   - Novara Knickers: $25. 34 waist. Have a light built-in pad. Good 
   condition
   - Giro wool blend jersey: $20. XL. This is a loose-knit jersey that is 
   very breathable. It's a size too big for me, but I've been wearing it 
   occasionally on more casual rides. Good condition overall but the pockets 
   are a little saggy (although that could be because it's too big for me YMMV)
   - Giro Jersey: $20. Large. Not-quite-high-vis green/yellow. Very good 
   condition. Only worn a couple times. 
   - Club Ride Shorts+Liner: $20 Aprox 36" waist, but adjustable down to 
   33. I only used the liner a couple times, but the shorts have some light 
   wear. These have always been too big for me, so I've probably only ridden 
   in them two or three times. Have been good chill shorts...
   - Performance shorts: $10. Large. OK condition, but have a lot of miles 
   left.

Prices do not include shipping. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!

[RBW] Re: Kid Clemmin' & The Morally Indignant Motorist

[Kevin Mulcahy]

My 4.5 year old son rides on the back of our cargo bike to/from daycare, 
about 4 miles each way. Madison is a great place to ride a bike, and we 
have a really nice route along some scenic and low-traffic streets. Last 
week, a motorist caught up to us about a block after we rolled through an 
unoccupied 4 way stop at the end of a little hill. We always roll through 
this intersection; everyone does. Well, so this guy pulls up next to us and 
and just screams, "YOU'RE SETTING A BAD EXAMPLE FOR YOUR KID!" and then 
speeds off. 

Yeah, so afterwards me and my son had a pretty good conversation about how 
to appropriately display your emotions. As a four year old, that's a lesson 
he's heard before, but I think it was nice (in a way) for him to see how 
ugly it can be. My son also drew a connection with a book he was reading 
about Star Wars and how Yoda teaches about how fear and anger lead to the 
dark side. So... I think he got it. :)

That all being said. We're lucking enough to have a nice route, but I 
really try to avoid sketchy/ high traffic roads, even ones with bike lanes. 
It just kinda kills the vibe. We've also have had many good interactions 
with motorists, even back when he was in a trailer. Someone once yelled at 
me (which was weird) something like, "Your trailer is really visable, I 
love the lights! You're a great dad!" That really made my day!

Gravel King, Compass, Conti GP4000, Veloflex, Soma SV, are all great choices.

I’ve been running an sv-9 for a few years and it’s been great. However, it

flickering. That can be a little annoying, especially when riding with others,

[RBW] Re: New "Hill" Bike is Posted

[Kevin Mulcahy]

To me it looks like the top tube is too short if it’s designed around swept 
back bars, which means you’re going to get handcuffed when riding around 
switchback. 

How many rims out there that are suited for plus sized tires, tubeless 
compatible, and available for rim brake action? Slim pickens, no doubt. 
Especially for the silver lovers. Any rim brake options in 29+?

I was hoping for more of a “high performance” all-rounder rigid mtb, like a 
rethought MB-1 designed around some more progressive or modern examples of mtb 
geometry.

[RBW] Wisconsin iBOB Unmeeting: July 13-15.

[Kevin Mulcahy]

***Sorry for the iBOB crosspost!***

Mark you calendars - Join your fellow BOBs and other likeminded folk for 
the Wisconsin iBOB Unmeeting happening July 13-15. 

Here's a rough itinerary: 
Friday: Gather in Madison, geek out for a bit, and then ride about 45 miles 
to Governor Dodge State Park (or simply meet at the park).
Saturday: Choose a route that fits your fancy for a day ride from GDSP. 
Sunday: Another day ride, or return to Madison via rail trail. Possible 
brewery stop along the way.

Basically, we've set up the ride as an S72O from Madison to GDSP and back, 
but people are welcome to go directly to GDSP. 

Challenging routes from Governor Dodge will likely head west into the 
Driftless region; which is generally just ridiculously bucolic, while being 
quite hilly and full of great roads (both paved and gravel). The roads 
south of the park and the nearby unpaved rail trail provide equally nice 
options for flatlanders. We'll provide route suggestions via ridewithgps at 
a later date and will have photocopied paper maps available at the camp 
site. Otherwise, the ride is unsupported. 

Harald has more details on his blog 
.  Hope some of you 
can make it!

Madison, WI

*Oh, I wanted to mention that this is a family friendly event. And, the 
park has some excellent options for swimming, paddling, and hiking.

[RBW] FS: Bosco Cockpit - $60

[Kevin Mulcahy]

55cm Bosco bars in Cromo Dullbrite finish, with Avid SD-7 levers and rubber 
grips. 

I bought these on Ebay last week and installed them once, but they aren't 
going to work for me. 
The levers have a couple light scratches, and the bars have some light 
crosshatching wear from being upside down in a parts bin. Very hard to 
notice the marks from more than 2ft away.

The grips have the ends cut off and fit kinda loosely - they might not work 
for you, so I'm basically throwing them in for free. 

I can email pics. 

$60 picked up, or add $8 for shipping.

[RBW] WTB: Bosco or Alba

[Kevin Mulcahy]

I just installed a Yepp Mini stem mounted kid seat and I need a bar with a 
little less reach to give me and the wee-lad a little more room. I'm 
currently running chopped Alba bars and i wish I had those 1.5 inches 
back now... Our 14 month old is totally loving his new bike seat. He 
brought me my helmet this morning while we were getting ready - i can take 
a hint!

WTB: Bosco or Alba bars.

[RBW] Re: Best Nitto handlebars for Shimano 105 shifters?

[Kevin Mulcahy]

The Hwy-1 bar is not up to Nitto standards for finish, stiffness and 
design.  It's more like a OEM bar you'd find on any new road bike. I tried 
it with Sram brifters and didn't like the sharp bend from the flats to the 
tops which seemed to dig into my palms.  I also thought the bend was too 
tight for cable routing...

+1 for Starbucks via while camping, even the knock off Via imitators are 
decent. 

IMO great coffee is a hard thing to reproduce while camping. At home I use 
a burr grinder, digital gram scale, timer, fancy kettle, and a fancy coffee 
making apparatus. I need all these tools in order to make a GREAT cup of 
coffee. And, it takes practice and a consistent bean.  If i don't want 
great coffee, and just want good coffee - Via it is. Hands down.

[RBW] Re: Yet more travel coffee questions!

[Kevin Mulcahy]

I'm not sure if you're asking how to keep milk cold in hotels or while bike 
touring? But you can use the evaporation method, like you've seen on old 
flannel wrapped canteens. After you soak the exterior, the evaporation of 
the liquid pulls the heat from the can, keeping the interior cool.

Otherwise, I've been useing the Mypressi - portable espresso maker with a 
Haro mini mill. The Mypressi uses NO2 canisters, and after a little 
practice, produces a wonderful shot, easily superior to most coffeeshops. 
It produces a shot with such generous creama, maybe you wont need to add 
frothed milk :)

[RBW] Re: Let's imagine a Tallux with a removable faceplate.

[Kevin Mulcahy]

I bought a second hand nitto quill stem on the iBOB list a while back that 
was part of a batch custom ordered at one time from a bike shop owner. So, 
it can be done.  This one is tigged welded and polished.

[RBW] FS or FT: $90 Nitto Mini Rack - $90. Would Trade for Nitto M12+$20 (obo)

[Kevin Mulcahy]

I currently have a NItto Mini rack and just got a new frame without 
mid-fork mounts. Anyone want to trade racks with me for a M12 rack? If not, 
I'll sell outright for $90+shipping. 

Thanks!

Re: [RBW] Re: Wool socks

[Kevin Mulcahy]

I'm a huge fan of the wool socks made by Chrome. I wear them in the office, 
on hikes, and on bikes.  I would say that they are easily at or above the 
quality to Smart Wool socks. (Which isn't saying much because Smart Wool 
makes some crappy, and some excellent, socks.)  Chrome also offers a free 
pair when you buy 2. Great deal. 

Filson also makes very good tall socks, not so cheap though.

[RBW] Re: Pannier rattle

I wrap the rack with tape at the contact points. Seems to help a little.

[RBW] FS: Railroad Shirt (Size M)

[Kevin Mulcahy]

I have a hardly worn Railroad shirt in size M that I'd like to sell for $50 
shipped. 

As you probably already know, these shirts are cut generously, so think 
about the size as more like a traditional large 'n loose cut. It's a great 
shirt for this time of year, but I noticed that I just never wear it. I've 
lost some weight this year and don't think that I'm going to grow into it 
anytime soon. Feel free to make an offer if you think my asking price is 
too high. I need some holiday cash and priced it according to the other 
railroad shirts I've seen being sold on list. 

Toot toot,
Kevin
