[RBW] Long Beach, CA Bike Shops / Rentals / Rides

2015-07-26 Thread Michael Fleischman
Looking for some insight to bike riding in Long Beach, CA.  I will be in 
town for a few days this week and would like to get out and ride a bit.  I 
won't have my bike with me.  So first things, anywhere I can rent a decent 
bike?  Next, any good ride suggestions?  Would love any insight.

[RBW] Re: The one(s) that got away (or, that Atlantis in Cincinnati)

2015-03-30 Thread Michael Fleischman
The AHH has been a great bike.  Hardly a complaint.  I do feel some slight flex 
when I load it down for s24o's.  I have some 35 Panaracer T - SERV's on it and 
it handles well on most surfaces I have tried.

I am looking to ride more trails and fire roads with the Atlantis.  Trying to 
decide on tires now.  I put some Schwalbe Little Big Bens I had laying around 
on it - for the time being.  Considering leaving fenders off.  At some point 
I'll put my Albastache's on and take off the Dirt Drops.  Immediately put a 
rack and basket on the front.  Will probably throw a rack on the back soon.  
That is where I am at with it.  Any input appreciated.

Mike.

[RBW] The one(s) that got away (or, that Atlantis in Cincinnati)

2015-03-30 Thread Michael Fleischman
I picked it up last week and it is now at it's new home in Indianapolis.  
Seller was super nice.  I have been looking for one for a while.  Nice to find 
one semi-locally - almost had a seller ship one from California last fall.

It seems to be getting along with my AHH quite nicely.

[RBW] Owning an AHH and an Atlantis

2014-05-21 Thread Michael Fleischman
I was curious if anyone on the boards own both the Atlantis and an AHH?  

If so, do you feel like you get sufficient use out of both bikes?  What do you 
enjoy, in terms of use, about owning both of the models?  As an owner, do you 
ever feel as if there is too much overlap to justify owning both these models?

Thanks for your insights.

[RBW] Indianapolis S24O - Weekend of April 25th

2014-04-13 Thread Michael Fleischman
Curious to see if anyone would be interested in joing in an S24O departing from 
Indianapolis over the weekend of April 25th.

Plans are loose right now.  I will take weather into consideration when 
selecting a departure date/time.  As far as location, I have it narrowed down 
to Morgan-Monroe State Forest and Yellowwood State Forest.  Both are about 50 
miles away.

Please replay via reply or e-mail if you are interested in joining.

Best,
Michael

[RBW] Ideal AHH Wheelset

2014-04-03 Thread Michael Fleischman
Hello All,

My name is Michael and I am new to the group and from Indianapolis. 

I recently bought an A Homer Hilsen from Dick at the Country Bike Shop in 
Ohio.  I am considering switching over my custom wheelset from my touring 
ride to the AHH.  My custom wheelset is a Phil Wood Cassette hub laced to a 
Mavic a719 rim and up front I have a Schmidt SON hub laced to a Mavic 
a719.  The AHH came with a stock wheelset - Shimano LX hubs.  I think want 
to have dyname lighting on the AHH and want to have my Phil Hub on back, 
but want to run this change past the bunch.

Will I be giving anything up (speed, handling, feel, ect) by switching out 
the current wheel set?  Is the Mavic a719 to much of a touring rim for the 
AHH?  The bike came with Jack Browns and I think I will switch those over 
to my custom wheelset on the AHH if I do make the swap.

Thoughts?
