[RBW] FS: Rockgeist Boxy Randonneur bag - one of a kind

[lukeheller]

A local bag maker, https://rockgeist.com/, made this for my sister for 
PBP2019 and she never used it. It's got a VO decaleur attached and it's 
ready to roll.

Rockgeist is a very well known and respected custom frame bag company local 
to Asheville.
They routinely have waitlists. 
They have only ever made 2 of these boxy randonneurs bags... this one and 
the one I use that is much taller. So this is 2 of a kind except mine 
is taller.

I asked them to copy my old Swift bag with a couple changes such as:
-elastic on the inside (typical on current models)
-plastic buckles because the stainless buckles DO RUST
-an expandable side pocket on the right side.
-all XPAC material

The pink liner is helpful to brighten things up a bit when looking into the 
abyss of your bag.

I've been using mine for 10,000+ miles and it continues to be an amazing 
bag.
They only wear spots are at the tombstone and a few rub spots on the 
underside which i'll get around to covering with a patch one day. 

PICS: https://photos.app.goo.gl/rxxH71eyZujR4mfDA

Dimensions are:
10.25" wide
7.25" deep
7.75" tall

The bag is in new condition only with the derailleur attached.
Asking $250 total for the bag + shipping
Get it in time for PBP.
Please message me directly if interested.
Luke

[RBW] Re: Riv Riders in Western NC

[lukeheller]

I used to ride a Riv Canti-Rom for a few years when i first started riding 
brevets in 2012.
No longer ride a riv but all my bikes are riv inspired. I've had several 
custom frames that are spin offs from my canti-rom.
I'm the local organizer for the Asheville Intl Randonneurs and live in 
Asheville if anyone wants to drink the kool-aid.

[RBW] FS: VO Grand Cru 50.4 BCD Crankset 175mm + extras 46/30

[lukeheller]

Prefer to sell the entire set.
$275 shipped CONUS
-1 crankset, valued @ $200
-2x 118 square taper BBs, valued @ $80 for 2
-1 spare set of rings, valued @ $105

 photos 


I tried these and they weren't for me (or for my frame).
The custom frame i put them has too wide a yoke for these. I found that out 
after just a few pedal strokes and there's a small marring on the inside of 
the DS crankarm. I could've gone for a wider spindle but that just didn't 
feel right. I tried them on another bike for a 50km ride and decided they 
just weren't for me.

One BB and the cranks have been used for 50km.
The bad:
-very minor marring on the inner DS crankarm
-one of the crank caps is slightly mangled at the face

Thanks
Luke in Asheville

 Hi -

 In spite of the virus, the fires, etc., 2020 has been really good for 
 me. I seem to accumulate lots of parts. I have no room for them. So I want 
 to send them to you! All prices below include shipping.

 1) Silver friction levers mated to Shimano bar end pods. These are in 
 great shape and have lots of miles left in them. These are the original 
 Silver shifters - not the second generation recently released. $10 shipped.

 2) Nitto Campee Rack. Not sure which rack this is - but it came off the 
 front of my son's SimpleOne. $10 shipped.

 3) MKS Track Pedals. Great, inexpensive, durable pedals. Also in great 
 shape. $15 shipped.

 4) Vittoria 700c x 25/32mm tubes. $5 shipped for both.

 5) Shimano Flat Bar Brake Levers. In great shape. $10 shipped.

 6) Park Spanners. 13, 14 and 15mm. One each. $5 shipped for all three.

 7) Lumotec IQ Headlight. Plenty of wire here. Was mounted to the Nitto 
 rack above. Most of the wire ran to the tail light.

 8) Velocity Quick Release Skewer. Came on my Hubbuhubbuh. I think the 
 OLD is 140mm.

 9) Tail Light. This went with the Lumotec IQ above. $2 shipped.

 10) Third Hand Tool. A piece of ancient history. I used to clamp my 
 brakes together with this thing to get cable slack, etc. $2 shipped.

 11) Couple of sidepull brakes. A Shimano 600 "standard" reach, and a 
 short reach brake. Not sure where these came from. Throwing in the lever 
 in 
 the picture as well $5 shipped for both.

 12) Skewers from Schmidt Dynohubs. These take and allen wrench. $2 
 shipped for both.

 13) Riese and Müller Handlebar Mount for Dynamo Light. In great shape. 
 Used sparingly. $2 shipped.

 14) Ritchey 10 and 12cm Threadless Stems. These have two-bolt 
 faceplates. Not sure about the rise. $10 shipped each.

 15) Nitto UI-5GX Threadless Stems. These are some of the most elegant 
 stems anywhere. Four bolt faceplates. $15 shipped each.

 16) 18 tooth cog for your fixed gear. Not much wear on this one. Came 
 off my son's fixed gear before he rode it. $2 shipped.

 17) Nitto R Bottle Cages. These are the light ones. Very sleek and 
 elegant. The solid ones - not the hollow ones. $20 shipped each.

 18) Giant Threadless Stem. Not as pretty as the others - but it's a 
 long one: 13cm. Two bolt faceplate. $5 shipped.

 If any of you are in the SF Bay Area and want to come to my house in 
 Richmond, California to pick up one or more items, I will happily give 
 them 
 to you gratis for saving me the time, money and hassle of shipping them.

 And if you want to send me money via Paypal - please use czech "at" 
 sonic.net.

 Namaste,

[RBW] FS: TA Specialites 110bcd 48t and 33t BLACK 9/10SPD

[lukeheller]

110bcd black TA zephyr rings (2x 48t and 1x 33t). They're all pretty new. The 2 
with grease have less than 50 miles... Probably more like 20 gravel miles. I 
didn't clean them intentionally.  The one that's been cleaned I can't recall 
even using because I always prev used silver rings but it's clearly not brand 
new. Yet it looks to be in VGC.  They're all 9/10 speed. 

$125 shipped

[RBW] FS: Shimano 8/9/10 SUZUE CLASSICA + Dyad 32h $150

[lukeheller]

The has been hanging on the hook for a while since I switched to tubeless. 
Ahem... my local shop said I could set it up tubeless but I didn’t bother 
trying.

Here’s the hub:
https://www.universalcycles.com/shopping/product_details.php?id=41505

I used it strictly with an 8spd cassette and there’s some marring on the free 
hub body. I sourced a replacement free hub body and will include it with the 
sale. Looks like a very straight forward swap.

DT Swiss DB spokes
Wheels spins straight with a very slight hop. A few spins in the truing stand 
get it right

[lukeheller]

I have a set of Shimano 105 9 speed shifters. 
They are black if that fits your aesthetic.
Lemme know and I'll snap a pic and discuss price.
I believe they are this model: Shimano 105 ST-5510

$190 shipped CONUS (i-Bob cross-post)

A custom large runs $263. Here's >25% off shipped.
This was 1 of 2 rando bags that I rotated between for 2 years; the other 
was on another bike.
I'm replacing this with a new custom from a local bag maker; not better, 
just different. Support local, ya know.

The beauty has no rips or tears. I've done my best to give a fair 
representation of the bag's condition. There is some discoloration/rust on 
the stainless buckles.

[RBW] Re: Did you stop using Compass tires?

[lukeheller]

I have been using the 35 non Jon pass tires on my Rando bike for 1.5 years now. 
They have been amazing. Prior to going to London this past summer for LEL 
1400km, I looked at the tires and thought... “hmm, I should replace those.” 
Instead, I went against conventional wisdom and rotated the tires. I’ve put 
probably 2,000 more miles on them since. And they’re still kicking. 

I ride the standard casing BJP tubeless at 65psi rear, 60psi front. I’ve had 1 
flat in, who knows 5-6k miles, on a 400k caused by a metal shard. Removed 
shard, added air, sealed right up. The only other flat was one morning when I 
walked into the basement and it went flat overnight due to low sealant. I love 
the ride feel and the durability. I could ride a potentially more durable tire 
but why suffer a dead riding tire? 

I purchased some BJP EL to upgrade to. I’ll be doing that when I retire the 
existing wheel set/tires to a different bike.
I also purchashed some EL 650bx48’s. I enjoy the WTB Horizons on my Elephant 
but they are slightly dead feeling. I acknowledge those horizons will NEVER 
wear out. Whenever the sealant dries up, I guess I’ll swap them then and 
compare.

I scoffed at Compass tires for years feeling justified in not spending that 
much for tires just to get more flats.
My experience has been entirely to the contrary.

[RBW] Re: Nitto Lamp Holder No. 6 (aka Nitto Screw Mount LEFT)

[lukeheller]

It's been a few months since a post on this thread  so I want to bring 
it back to see if anyone has any recent experience.

I'm trying to mount a LUXOS U below the bag on a Soma Champs Elysses front 
rack (struts have no built-in mounts).

1. is it an effective solution? is it jiggly? many of my homemade mounts 
don't keep the Luxos from jiggling around.

2. does the diameter of the strut matter? Are they all about the same? The 
website specifies use on a specific rack strut.

3. and most importantly, maybe?
is this something that I might have in my nuts and bolts bin already 
that I just need to put together?? I can't really see what all the parts 
are. Has anyone crafted ab equivalent?

[RBW] Re: Nitto Lamp Holder No. 6 (aka Nitto Screw Mount LEFT)

[lukeheller]

I am using the MINI soma champs elysses rack. Therefore, the bolt *could* slide 
up the strut *IF* the flattened section is not too wide.

*DAVID* - would you mind checking if a nitto bolt will slide over the soma 
strut? - thanks

I have tried using an old centerpull arm 
<https://www.instagram.com/p/6DzYBoHmsY/?taken-by=pieboypeddler> but it was 
way too jiggly. I could just flick the light and it would vibrate.  I 
didn't use nylock nuts though - would it make that much of a dfference?
I know it's mounted on the left in this pic but I will actually be mounting 
the light on the *RIGHT*.

randonnees - most recently the well-known Paris-Brest-Paris in August of 
2015.

It's got typical signs of use and that of being packed a few times in an 
S case. After I got back from France, i stripped the frame and touched up 
some of the nicks with a powdercoat touch-up spray paint with a matched 
RAL# to prevent and potential for moisture getting underneath the powder. 
Buyer can have the can of touch paint - there's plenty.

full disclosure - I had a silly fall right before PBP and had Brad Wilson 
of Capricorn Bikes in Marshall, NC re-rake fork and check alignment of the 
frame. Everything is in tip-top shape. He inspected for cracks and anything 
concerning - all good.

Your choice of brakes - $50
TRP CX8.4 - on the bike now
Cane Creek SCX5 - near new condition

Seatpost binder included - just recently upgraded to a KCNC SC13, blue 
(clamps frame AND post) - ti bolts

Headset included. I think I even have a spare NIB that I'll include for an 
extra $35 if the buyer wants. 

Frame takes a Bruce Gorden Rock n Road 700x43 with room to spare and is 
equally suited for some skinny 28's.

If you want a full rando setup, we can talk dynamo lights and wheel 
package. The wheels are fresh. Front wheel was rebuilt before PBP, rear 
wheel built with DT Swiss350 right after PBP. Both on PL23 Pacenti rims

Now $1500 shipped.

[RBW] Re: New fat 700 tires! 700x42 ultra light

[lukeheller]

Oh yeah, it shimmys with or without the saddle bag by the way. But I put a 
lot of effort into front loading that bike to reduce shimmy. I only use a 
saddle bag on it for 1200's or unsupported 600kms.

[RBW] Sam owners: axle-brake nut measure, pretty please

[lukeheller]

I need some help from the Sam owners out there just a quick measurement.

center of REAR axle to center of brake bolt.

I'm planning a custom and curious what the Sam's are hitting at. I want to 
maximize tire clearance while simultaneously maintaining braking power with 
the Tektro R559's.

THANKS!

 Toyo-Japan built frame for seven hundred bucks. The year is 2015. Lugged

 I have an Acorn bag. Its great. But bigger than I need. I don't rando. I 
 just need to fit my tools, jacket, snacks, wallet, phone, a lock, etc. 

 Hoping for something that is maybe wider like a rando bag, but not as tall.

 Is there anything like that out there?

Re: [RBW] Re: Canti-Rom

[lukeheller]

So I've been limiting my Rom's tire size all these years? Doh. Blast those 
silly VO fenders.

Joe, do you mean 700x50 fenders? Their site indicates they sell 45's and 
50's, no 49's. I am running the 45's on my Rom and it seems that's all that 
the chainstays will take but maybe I'm wrong.

What are those fenders the OP has on his Rom? They look simply yet good. 
Chromoplastic? 
What's the fender to use to maximize tire clearance?

 That is weird, Luke. My 63 C-Rom fit Pasela 32s + VO 700x49 fenders

Re: [RBW] Large Rando bag / rack / decaleur interface

[lukeheller]

I'm curious about this too as I'm about to start sewing my own bag and want 
a TALL bag... maybe 10 inches tall. I have always used VO decaleurs without 
issue but only on smaller bags.

The attraction of the VO decauleur is obviously the price... and the fact 
that I already them on 3 bikes. 

I have had success in making small adjustments to the VO decaleur by 
bending the angle of the arms but nothing drastic.

In looking at my current setup, I think I can get away with using the same 
decaleur but just move it to the top of the stack underneath the stem.. and 
then just bend the arms back up a bit

 I posted this on the Lifestyles list but didn't get any feedback. 

  I use an Acorn Rondeneur bag on both my Saluki (62 CM/650B) with a VO 
 rack but no decaleur and on our Tandem (26 ) with an RBW Mark's rack and 
 no decaleur.  It works OK, but I am considering moving to a taller bag - 
 250 - 270mm, which would require a decaleur.  The VO website suggests that 
 neither the rack nor decaleur are guaranteed to work with a tall bag. 

  What rack  decaleurs are people using happily with these tall bags? 
  What problems have you had to overcome?
  
  
 AFAIK the Berthoud GB28 and its fancier cousin, the GB2886 are the tallest 
 bags out there.  I use both: the 2886 with Berthoud decaleurs, the GB28 
 with the VO decaleur.  Both work fine.  There's much more adjustability 
 with the Berthoud decaleur, virtually none other than the location of the 
 spacer in the stack on the steerer tube with the VO; presumably that's what 
 the not guaranteed to work means.  There's also no adjustability to speak 
 of with the Grand Bois decaleur.  You have to size the bag according to the 
 amount of space provided between the rack and the handlebar (underside of 
 the stem handlebar clamp bolt, actually, in the case of the Berthoud) or 
 the head tube (more accurately, the spacer surrounding the steerer tube to 
 which the VO decaleur mounts).

 As for racks, nothing very critical there.  I'm using a TA rack that bolts 
 to a Mafac Raid centerpull to support the GB28, and have used a Berthoud 
 front rack, a VO Randonneur front rack and a custom Mitch Pryor front rack 
 to support the GB2886.  You absolutely do need a rack, and it should have a 
 tombstone.   Here's a view of the GB2886 sitting on a Berthoud front 
 rack, supported by a Berthoud decaleur, on my (now Tony's) green Saluki 
 that illustrates the setup pretty well:

[RBW] Re: 400k plus

[lukeheller]

There's no perfect formula to know when you've trained enough to meet your 
next goal. However, the 200-300-400-600 progression is a really good guide 
in my experience. Do you need to fill the 400-600 gap with a 500k? No, I 
really don't think so. 

I'd like to believe:
if you can ride a 100k, you can ride a 200k
if you can ride a 200k, you can ride a 300k
if you can ride a 300k, you can ride a 400k
if you can ride a 400k, you can ride a 600k
if you can ride a 600k, you can ride a 1200k

after all, isn't one of the greatest barriers to our own accomplishments 
what *we believe we can do?*

when I started doing brevets, the closest brevets were a minimum of 3-4 
hours away. I did my first 400k before ever doing a 300k but I had been 
training and doing many 100mile+ rides in the mountains which added a 
considerable amount of difficulty. So you see, i was convinced that my 
mountainous 200k's had adequately prepared me for a flat/rolling 400k. and 
it did. i think largely, because i believed it would.

once you get on the other side of your first complete brevet series, your 
conception of what you can accomplish on a bicycle will be drastically 
different. mine was.

200s and 300s are a fair bit easier because you don't have to worry about 
the sleep monster.
400s - the sleep monster begin to rear it's ugly head at times.
600s - the sleep monster cometh

however, i'd rather ride a 600 any day than a 400 for some reason. 400's 
are just my tough spot. something about getting to the bed for a brief nap 
before riding the last 200k on a 600k is far more enticing than just 
finishing a 400k. 

i did my first few years of brevets + my first 1000k on my Romulus.

see you in Paris!

 I know several of you in the group ride brevets so it's time to pick your 
 brains. I've taken them up again this year. In 2011 i completed a 200k, had 
 a DNF 300k followed by finishing a planned 175 mile ride. I've had no rides 
 over 50-60 miles since until this year, got fat, etc. I decided I needed a 
 goal to help motivate me so I put PBP 2015 on the calendar. I've lost over 
 45 lbs and am loving riding again. I did a 200k a couple of weeks ago and 
 have a 300k next week which I'm nervous about but fairly confident. My 
 question is about beyond that. I'm wondering if I need to progress to the 
 other distances. In other words, should I try 350k before 400 then 500 
 before 600? Or do you think that by the time I've gone 300k that the base 
 is built up enough to sustain the larger jumps in time and distance? Riv 
 content: I'm riding this on my Homer and loving it! I'd like to complete 
 the whole series (200,300,400, 600) this summer so I'll have a good taste 
 for what's in store next year in Paris.

[RBW] WTB/T: Large Boxy Rando Bag

[lukeheller]

I've contemplated making my own because they're so costly. I'm not 
convinced I'll do a satisfactory job.
Summer is coming and as a public school employee, you know how that goes. 

I have 2 of the VO Campagne rando bags that I'd be willing to trade up for 
a larger one. For 600k+ rides, I've found I really need more space. I'll 
happily  trade up the better of the two to an interested party. I also have 
a Mel Pinto that's in usable but fair condition - it's like a GB 25. 

Anything in the *large* rando bag camp would work. Such as
Swift Ozette L
Acorn TALL Boxy Rando

Must have:
Map case
Open facing rider
2 rear facing pockets

Please send direct message with any offers. Thanks in advance.

Bummer Patrick! I was feeling pessimistic that a trade would happen when 
someone offered to buy the bars outright so I sold them in a moment of 
weakness. Would be interested in a straight purchase of yours if interested 
though.

Christopher, these are for a 1-1/8 (blasphemy!) threadless fork so the 
bullmoose wouldn't work... thanks though!!

I have a barely used M-12... mounted, used for a 4 day tour, then removed. 
I got rid of the bike it used to be on and the bike I need a front rack on 
now does not have canti's. Therefore, I need the M-18. If you happen to 
have one lying around for sale or have one you want to trade, please let me 
know!
Thanks,

[RBW] Re: Drop Bar Suggestions?

[lukeheller]

I second the vote for the SALSA COWBELL.

I have been on a rampage for the right bars. I have a set of salsa bell 
lap's on my Surly LHT touring bike but decided, when building my Riv, that 
I should go with the classic look of the quill stem + polished silver Nitto 
Bars. 

I started out with the B135 Rando bars. I liked them for a good while till 
the narrow hoods just wore me out. If they were 45 in the hoods instead of 
the drops, I probably would've kept them. However, those bars are not for 
big riders!

I had a set of 46cm noodles on another bike that I liked... but not that 
much.

After swapping bars and stems several times on my Riv, I decided that I was 
done with quill stems and that I'd try out the quill stem adapter so I can 
try some 31.8 bars. There are so many more bars options in 31.8. So I'm now 
running the 46cm Salsa Cowbell 2 and love them. I love them so much that I 
put another set on my other bike... and I ordered a set for my sister's 
bike... and I put them on a bike I built for my buddy. I know bars are a 
personal thing but I think these bars have a great formula going for them.

The short reach, shallow drop, and flare in the drops in fantastic. I 
highly recommend!

 I know Noodles of course, and I've tried them in 3 different widths and 
 for some reason they don't hit home for me.
 If you had to put a drop bar other than a Noodle on your Riv/Riv-ish bike, 
 what would it be?
