from:"S.Cutshall"

Out on a rather long Pug ride today.  Climbing a mother-steep hill,
about 12 miles from home, out of the saddle  pushing hard, SMACK.
Chain snapped 5 links away from the master-link.

Ribs directly into handlebars, pubic bone directly into toptube...
ouch.

Slow, limping, walk home.

Check your chain before it checks you.

Just thought I'd share my day...

[RBW] Re: Check 'dem Chains Folks

I am doing fine, just sore and bruised [about to ride the Bleriot to
get a new chain for the Pug].

No, I saw nothing obvious on the chain -but it was quite dark and with
my h-bar light didn't notice much... and no inspecting it later as I
chucked the chain into a garbage can near the place of failure- so I
can't report any defects, etc.  Chain had to be worn though... I've
put a little over 12,400 miles on the Pug since Feb. of this year [and
the chain was well-used last year].

Pug does great in the sand, Patrick... just take the tire pressure
down to 4 or 5lbs PSI and go, go, go...

[RBW] Re: Check 'dem Chains Folks

Agreed... never broken a chain before last night.

Thinking it pretty rare.

Hoping it, extremely rare.

On a different note: just back from riding to LBS for chain [and some
derailleur cables--as they looked pretty hanked]... 7 bucks a pop for
cables [and a parking lot full of late model Saab's, Volvo's  BMW's
with roof racks loaded down with high-end carbone bikes, hmmm]?

 Agree with you on assertion two, but assertion one is not  my
 experience, anyway -- at all true. In 50 years of riding I've broken a
 chain once and that was due to poor installation.

[RBW] Re: Check 'dem Chains Folks

Thanks.

Yeah, this year my project has been, what I call, The Year of The
Pug.  I've tried [am trying] to do all my rides [pleasure, errands,
etc] via The Pug.

Mostly successful so far, a few rides on the Bleriot/a couple on my
custom [before I stored it away] and a couple on loaners whilst
traveling, but otherwise... it's been All-Pug, All-The-Time.

I shot for 20K last year, almost made it too [short by 300 miles],
wanted 25K this year, got The Pug and realized impossible, unless I
am willing to either weigh 90 pounds by X-Mas  land in the ER and/or
begin intaking an additional 2000 calories per day... so I feel like
16-17K by year's end on the Pug is good.

Next year... less Pug [it's fun, but it's laborious too].

In general... people dig the thrill.

Ever watch an auction live or on TV for big ticket items [super rare

it's bloodsport with bank accounts.

[RBW] Man-Topic [Shaving Facial Hair]

2010-08-11 Thread S.Cutshall

Odd?  Unrelated?  I think not [Rivendell sells Porto-Shaving-Cream,
so... ].

I am not one to shave often.  When I do it's for two distinct reasons:

1.  I look up, while brushing teeth, and jump with fright at what I
see looking back at me in the mirror.

Or...

2.  My wife and/or daughter tell me to [because I repulse them].

Fair enough.

For years, and because I have a 'Stache, I've simply used an 'lectric
trimmer [no, not an actual electric shaver--more of an electric beard
trimmer] and it leaves a fair amount of stubble... so I am not really
ever -that- shaved right after I shave.

So, I grew [pun] tired of the stubbled look and began a search for a
non-electric shaver that doesn't look an Apple product or like a Casio
Baby-G wristwatch, or is not disposable... and it took a minute
too.  And then I found a site called Classic Shaving... wow, the
choices were about as endless as looking for a new tire pump on a walk
through Interbike.

In the end, I selected a nice German shaver, a Merkur [just like my
dad used when I was a youngster], some blades, a nice brush, mug and
some cream.  Cost around $160.00 for the whole setup, but I figure
it'll save money over time, space in land fills and I can have a
better shave [when I remember to do it].

Anyway else here shave 'Old Skool'?

Was tempted to enter my toes into the world of Straight Razors but the
prices for those [plus all the additional accessories] -and the
thoughts of all the failures while in the Learning Curve stage Re:
loss of facial skin- put the kibosh on that.

PS-- Guess this could be a Lady-Topic too [but I doubt many women
would own up to having facial hair that needs shaving].

[RBW] Re: Bleriot Build is Coming Along

Will do, on the updates.

Full on Rando bike.

So far:
1 tubing, Sachs fork crown [possibly change that though, thinking
about options there ~would go with one of Bob's custom crowns, but
they are too wide for this build], fully lugged [of course], 130mm
spacing in the rear, might step into foreign waters and go with a
threadless steerer this time around [which of course allows for some
neat and inventive legroom for Bob to work some magic up front] and
'yep' to front/rear racks + fenders.  No super-fat/no super-narrow
tires, just super medium. ;-)

Most exciting for me [well, all of it is exciting!]... Bob has asked
me, and it makes sense based on our relationship, to let him really
fly this solo.
We discussed basic details, wants/needs sorta stuff... and past that
he said, You trust me, that I know... let me go alone on this.  I
know what you love, I know what you're aiming for, I know what you've
got planned for your next 2-3 years on a bike, and I know what you've
accomplished on a bike so far.

He pretty much wrapped everything up with 'So, let me build you this
bike solo: it'll ride like you cannot imagine, and visually with the
little details I've got planned for things, the integration of things,
the lug carvings, all of it... well, let's leave it at, it's going to
be the most stunning bike I've ever built, period.

I couldn't really argue or disagree -on any level- with that kind of
plan.

Really that's about it for now.  Oh, and it's 700c and going to be SS
coupled too.

[RBW] Was Bleriot Build, Now Bob Brown Custom [final post on it though ~not Riv Specific]

Will do, on the updates [if I can make it relevant to Riv, and I
probably can't].

Full on Rando bike.

So far:
1 tubing, Sachs fork crown [possibly change that though, thinking
about options there ~would go with one of Bob's custom crowns, but
they are too wide for this build], fully lugged [of course], 130mm
spacing in the rear, might step into foreign waters and go with a
threadless steerer this time around [which of course allows for some
neat and inventive legroom for Bob to work some magic up front] and
'yep' to front/rear racks + fenders.  No super-fat/no super-narrow
tires, just super medium. ;-)

Most exciting for me [well, all of it is exciting!]... Bob has asked
me, and it makes sense based on our relationship, to let him really
fly this solo.
We discussed basic details, wants/needs sorta stuff... and past that
he said, You trust me, that I know... let me go alone on this.  I
know what you love, I know what you're aiming for, I know what you've
got planned for your next 2-3 years on a bike, and I know what you've
accomplished on a bike so far.

He pretty much wrapped everything up with 'So, let me build you this
bike solo: it'll ride like you cannot imagine, and visually with the
little details I've got planned for things, the integration of things,
the lug carvings, all of it... well, let's leave it at, it's going to
be the most stunning bike I've ever built, period.

I couldn't really argue or disagree -on any level- with that kind of
plan.

Really that's about it for now.  Oh, and it's 700c and going to be SS
coupled too.

 That's awesome! I'd be excited too. I can't even imagine how much

 your plan for the design of the new bike? Big tire clearance, fenders,
 racks, etc.? Or something sleeker this time? I hope you'll keep us

I have no advise, but I can offer some advice:

avoid synthetic food  supplements [it's the equal of wearing lycra or
spandex on your outsides] in your insides; bananas/sunflower seeds/
walnuts  avocados do fantastic things; drink water before thirst
kicks in [as said many a time already]; don't overdrink water though

ride your pace [biggest mistake I see: folks riding others' pace: it
kills legs, body  spirit more quickly than all else]...

 made me wonder if Riv has ever considered collaborating on a
 semi-custom lugged tandem made (at least partially) with riv's lugs

 someone like Bob Brown who has clearly made other tandems.

 Or maybe I'm just being silly and if I want a new tandem I should just

[RBW] Re: Bleriot Build is Coming Along

2010-07-08 Thread S.Cutshall

Thinking it was a mix of 'acclimation' [yep, you got 'er right... was
running 26x1.25 @100psi on my custom before I retired her] and just
plain 'new everything' syndrome [the bike, the build, the setup, all
of it, and more].

Really liking the Nif-Swif's @75 f/r these days.

I am 164 pounds.

You nailed it though: hard skinny tire syndrome for certain.

Even at 75psi, feels like I am in bathroom slippers running over all
the best that urban'ness has to throw at me [i.e. these rubbers are
plush yet feel fast'ish].

 Scott,

 beautiful, and a great mix of parts (aside from the saddle). :)

 What's your weight? I am really surprised you are getting fishtailing
 sensations. I run Jack Browns (700 x 33) on my Hillborne at 35 pounds
 front, and 40 rear, and weigh 185. Like cyclofiend, I top off when I
 get that squirming feeling in the corners, but that is usually around
 30 pounds (checked on three different pumps) rather than your 75.
 Something seems amiss, but maybe you are just really used to the feel
 of hard skinny tires?

  If not those, which ones work well?

 I believe the Paul Racers come with Kool Stop Thinline Threaded brake

[RBW] Bleriot Build is Coming Along

2010-07-03 Thread S.Cutshall

...slowly, but steadily.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/30264...@n00/4756379069/

And a few more new'ie pics added [near end of the Bleriot set].

First big problem though, daVinci crank + BB + Double Chainrings = 103
BB.  Not the end of the world, but I was informed I couldn't go
'cheap' on the BB earlier today [was told Shimano goes only so
narrow... 107, so it might have to be a Phil BB].

The budget is popping waaay out of the bag now.

Anyone know of a BB in 103 that doesn't cost Phil-Money [daVinci crank
is square taper, so no Campy].

Already have a new set of Berthoud 650B tins set aside and ready for

More pics en route soon... hopeful to test ride today [for my

than expected, and making me more than a little stir-crazy], but will
for certain be putting up fotos and links to them.

[RBW] Re: do you ever get tired of....

It's a very difficult word for some:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/30264...@n00/4648524708/in/set-72157624155996428/

...but we are trying...

http://www.flickr.com/photos/30264...@n00/4648164637/in/set-72157624155996428/

That said, I'd bet a Rivendale coin purse that Grant  Crue don't
really care either way as long as the person[s] mispronouncing the
word have an inclination to look into their products.

Saying a word incorrectly, is still saying the word in the end... for
example- better, in my mind, than saying McDonald's, High Fructose
Corn Syrup or Bike NashBar correctly.

Well I think this whole thread is getting very high-on-the-horse,
maybe I'll just call Brant Paterson at Riverdale and axe him what he
thinks about this issue.

[RBW] Re: WTB: Nitto Dynamic 100mm Stem-

Thanks James, not going to work though- I need it for 26.0 bars.

I was of the mind that -All- Dynamic stems were 26.0, no?

 Hi,
 I have one. It's for 25.4 bars. The box says it is 110mm, but it is the same 
 length as a Nitto Pearl 100mm. It has been inserted one time and has a mark 
 on it as a result. If you think you may want to buy it let me know.

 Cheers!
