[RBW] Re: 1x Set Up?
It's a Shimano 105 derailleur and a CS-M7000 11-42 cassette. Yes, that's mixing road and mountain components but I have never had an issue -- now going on 4 years and a couple thousand miles.

[RBW] Re: Thanks Grant
This is a difficult subject because too many people approach the subject emotionally and attempts to be logical/unemotional get one labeled, targeted, and rejected. The reality is that there are multiple mitigating facts: 1. Mexico is a signatory to multiple international asylum and refugee agreements. As such, citizens of Honduras, Costa Rica, El Salvador and Guatemala are obligated to request asylum in the "first safe country" they reach -- Mexico. To then travel another 1,000 miles indicates they aren't seeking asylum but rather are seeking better financial or living conditions, which is not a legally valid reason for asylum. 2. Most "families" being processed did not present themselves at a US consulate and request asylum but rather crossed illegally and were caught. They've been coached to request asylum under such circumstances. The fact that an asylum request was not made from the onset indicates asylum was not the initial reason to enter illegally. 3. Federal law demands that aslyees be processed and that their request be properly researched and adjudicated. Federal court agreements also demand that children cannot be detained for greater than 20 days. Adjudication rarely is possible within 20 days. This presents a conundrum -- separate children from adults awaiting adjudication or release the parents and children under the promise they will show up for their court dates. In 2016, between 25% and 41% (depending on definitions and sources) failed to do so. In essence, they were released and simply drifted into the US, hoping never to be caught again. I think the US has every right as a sovereign nation to determine who may or may not enter; to eliminate that possibility by letting those not eligible for asylum flee is an affront to US citizens. 4. Today, the executive branch faces two horrendous choices -- release (which obviously is a terrible option) or separate the families (which IMHO is also terrible but slightly less so.) My preference is that the Flores agreement be put aside by the courts and that families stay together until their court cases have been heard. Absent that, and based on #'s 1 and 2 above, I think that all should be deported. They can ask for asylum in Mexico which was their legal requirement from the onset, perhaps properly present themselves as a US consulate in Mexico and have their cases adjudicated there with the possibility asylum could be granted, or return home. I started this saying that being logical begets abuse. I expect it now. But I try to approach all contentious subjects from a legal and logical perspective and not let emotions get in the way of a decision. This is also why my first marriage ended.

[RBW] Tubeless question from an old fart
So last year while having my Proto-Appaloosa built up the 20-something LBS mechanic insisted that I MUST run tubeless on my 700x38 tires. I shrugged and let him go. Two weeks ago I scrubbed a high curb cut and unseated the bead. Flat tire. Walked the 3 blocks home and tried pumping it up which I now know can't be done. I used my last CO2 cartridge and inflated the tire. Rode the bike the last two weeks and yesterday the tire was flat again. So today I have to take the wheel back and (I guess) have it re-sealed. This seems like a pain. It would have been very easy to simply patch a tube if the scrubbing had caused a pinch flat. I can patch and be riding in 5 minutes. So what, exactly, is the advantage of riding tubeless? That said, can I just take off the wheel, remove the stem, and put a spare tube in there? Does the sealant need to be cleaned out before doing that? I'm old school, I guess. Anyone want to bring me up to speed, info-wise, on this subject? PS: Even though the Proto has a fairly long top tube I'm changing it over from an Albastache bar to a noodle. I'm finding myself more and more comfortable lowering the bar and I'm riding on the hoods (stretched) often, so why not?Pics coming soon. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] First pedestrian killed by autonomous car

[RBW] Re: My trials and tribulations with upright bars
I'm struggling similarly. I set up a prototype Appaloosa last spring and rode the past season with Albastache bars. But I always felt like I was "in-between" comfort locations. When sitting upright I found myself holding onto the very end of the bars, often actually holding the bar-end shifter in the palm of my hand and wishing there was another couple inches to grab onto. But when I stretched out I found the "hooks" of the Albastache to be too close. So I've been sitting here most of the winter debating whether to go to something like a Bosco to get the bars closer to me or just install some drop bar. Still can't decide... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: (GIF) Don't know how this can be explained
Which is why the fastest riders are on recumbents. I can no longer manage a recumbent because western PA hills don't align with a bike who's saddle can be climbed out of -- and I'm too old and out-of-shape to spin fast enough to maintain speed. Mashing on pedals and old knees don't get along. That said, when I was riding a recumbent I was considerably faster on the flats and downhill with far less effort.

[RBW] Re: Yves Gomez PBH range?
I just built up a 60cm Yves Gomez for myself. I'm 6'1 and have an 89pbh. I'm sure she'll have no problem at all with a 60. Here's what Riv says as to fitment for the current Cheviot: *60cm* TYPICAL RIDER HEIGHTS: women 5'6 1//2 to 6'2, men about 5'8.5 to 6'3. PBH 84 to 94cm SADDLE HEIGHT 73cm to 93cm. You can fit a bigger Cheviot than a Homer or a Sam or Altantis or Hunqapillar, because there's no top tube to hit your crotch.

[RBW] May I introduce Yves...
So after lurking on the site for almost 18 months I finally pulled the trigger and bought a Rivendell of my own. I was on the hairy edge of simply purchasing a Sam new, especially when I saw the black and cream ones, when a 60cm Yves Gomez frame came up for sale in this group. First off...thank you David Karmishlian for being so easy to work with and for delivering the frame expertly boxed and padded. The transaction couldn't have been any easier. Two weeks after receiving the frame it's now a complete work. Well, there are racks, baskets, and bags to consider but it's RIDEABLE. And what a ride it is. I'd been a long-time recumbent cyclist and my first foray back to uprights had been a Long Haul Trucker. It's amazing how supple and responsive this Yves Gomez is -- even for a 225lb Clyde like myself.

The front derailleur looks great and performs very well. Although, not much is being asked of it since the chainrings are only 40-26. If, perhaps a standard touring triple were in play...
