"Just DON'T let someone know, "hey, if you ever want to sell that bike let
me know"?
DON'T?
Why not? I would like to know if someone was interested at some point in
the future
In fact anytime someone comes to buy a part I will ask them "what frame
size do you ride?" And if I get a nice frame that size at some point, I'll
keep them in mind.

And what is f/f?

thanks.
I'll look at those both.
I did dip into the Universal website for a minute. most of what they seem 
to offer in wheels was for Disc brakes. and I am not there yet. I couldn't 
find much for Rim brakes.
but I wrote them, told them what I needed and asked what they suggested.

thanks for the leads.

[RBW] Re: wheels (135mm spaced rear with freehub) for a Sam Hillborne

2022-06-19 Thread Peter Stock
Good questions. 
while I am experienced in the world of traditional 700c road bikes and 
wheels, I am something of a novice at anything the style of a Rivendell.
But first, Some history, context. 
I got this SH frame almost by accident. my plumber was given it to settle 
some debt I think, and asked me to help him sell it (as I buy and sell a 
lot of bikes) but when I measured it up and found it was my size, Despite 
the seemingly hand-repainted finish, knowing the reputation of Rivendell I 
arranged to keep it and built it up with spare parts I had on hand - Mafac 
Racer calipers (the only center pulls I had amongst the dozens of side pull 
calipers I have), barend shifters, a Deore RD, who knows what FD, 
Specialized "Flag" triple crankset.
(Hmm am I correct that I cannot post photos here?)

https://photos.app.goo.gl/zxA1jtAF3snGG9Nu5

the stumbling block was wheels because while I have about 50+ wheelsets 
and singles, they are all traditional mavic road rims. about 15mm inside / 
20mm outside width and all either 126mm or 130mm OLD.
these are the wheels I currently have hanging in the garage,, none 135 OLD.
https://photos.app.goo.gl/zxA1jtAF3snGG9Nu5

I was suprised to find none of my wheels fit this frame. because - 
Suprise!  - it is 135mm spacing, which I have never dealt with before. And 
I have neither the skill nor patience to redish a 130 wheel.

The only rear wheel I had with 135mm spacing and a Shimano freehub was 
pretty crummy and I've had nothing but problems with it. even though the 
rim seems true and round, When I mount the 28mm tires I want to use on it 
there is a hop it it. and the rubber dust cap on one side of the axle rubs. 
not that I would notice while riding but it's annoying that it doesn't spin 
freely. So I figured rather than keep banging my head against the wall I 
would look for something decent.

I am not wildly Bike Proud. I just ride 'em. So I don't need the Cadillac 
of anything. Function over Form for me.
Nothing has to match. any colour will do. straight gauge spokes are fine 
(as long as they hold up and are not snapping and needing to be replaced 
all the time. )

this SH proably only gets out twice a month. I see it as more of a utility 
bike (fun for small grocery runs along the rough road to the store 7 miles 
away and back) than a long distance 50mile recreational ride. For that I 
typically take a lightweight steel bike. (though who knows, maybe if I 
finally got this built up correctly I would come to love it and use it 
more. but it is a heavy beast I find.)

I am pretty light - about 175lbs - so I don't need wildly sturdy wheels
I would mainly use this bike in the country, a mix of paved and hardpacked 
gravel roads. 
Tires? normal production tires are fine. I don't need anything hand-crafted 
by elves.
Most of my 15 For-Pavement-Mostly road bikes have 23 or 25 or max 28mm 
tires. The only time I have ridden anything fatter are the 35ish mm tires 
on a Bike Friday. though I must say I like the feel of those fatter tires, 
especially on packed gravel. I guess I should aim for something north of 
30mm. 
Looking at an online tire seller, it seems the most common sizes are 32, 
35, 37, 40, 42 47 and 50mm. 
I currently have a matching pair of Zaffiro graphite Pro in 30mm (though 
again, when these are on my current rear wheel there is a hop that I cannot 
diagnose - whether it is the rim or a defect in the tire. I have to figure 
that out and toss the offending piece element)


Well that is a lot of Blah Blah.
Budget. Lower end ideally (used is fine) Given I have so many wheels 
already I would feel a bit silly spending a lot of money buying even more. 
especially since I am pretty casual about my bike setups.
But if that's what I have to do, I will do it. Having the fame lying around 
unused because I haven't figured out wheels bugs me.
and while I know that handbuilt wheels are expensive, production 
factory-built wheels are fine for me. Again, I am not really fanatical 
about my gear. 
If it is any gauge, when I sell wheels from my collection the price range 
is typically between $200 and $400 USD for a good used set.  though I know 
that would not be enough for a new handbuilt set. But that's not really 
what I need.

[RBW] wheels (135mm spaced rear with freehub) for a Sam Hillborne

2022-06-18 Thread Peter Stock
I have an SH frame I built up but the wheels are crap. the only 135mm 
spaced 700c rear I could find with fairly wide rim.
and then a mismatched front.
this bike deserves a decent wheelset.
where do I go looking? what online stores/shops?
there are very few 700c 135mm spaced wheelsets up here in Canada.

Or if anyone has a decent set they would sell me (that would take an 8S 
Shimano cassette) let me know.
I'll be driving to Buffalo in the next few weeks to pick up some other bike 
gear and so shipping to there would likely make the shipping cost 
reasonable

Re: [RBW] Roadini heavy?

2022-01-28 Thread peter stock
FWIW my Sam Hillborne also strikes me as heavy, more plowhorse than 
thoroughbred.
I've never used the term "spritely" to describe its ride (as I often do 
with other bikes I own)

I just weighed it, complete. 12.74kgs / 28lbs
Not insanely heavy but up there.

I bought the Roadini from Eric Daume after he was done with it. I like

comfortable, it's just not a lively ride. I think it's overbuilt. If 
you are looking for a burly roadish bike, it may work for you, but if 
you are looking for a zippy road bike with fender and tire clearance, 
this isn't it.
I was hoping for a budget Roadeo. I would like to try a Roadeo, but 
now I fear it is overbuilt as well. My wacked-out conspiracy theory is 
that all Rivs are overbuilt now because they can't afford to have any 
warranty claims.
I have been meaning to sell the Roadini for months now, because I have 
other bikes I like(love) better, but I have been dragging my feet 
because orange! Plus I'm lazy about selling things.

I've heard tell that Roadini's feel sluggish and heavy for
road bikes. I've never owned a Riv but I'm interested in
trying them out. I'd be setting up the bike with Waive bars.

I'd also be interested to know what size you are. I've
also heard that Rivs tend to feel better on the larger
side. No idea if it's true.

Thanks for indulging my questions. I always find buying

[RBW] Re: Sam Hillborne Front Derailleur setup problems

2021-06-11 Thread Peter Stock

Finally, I think Yes.
The trick seems to have been looping the cable UNDER the pinch bolt instead 
of over it as one would normally do.
This UNDER routing was suggested elsewhere but Bill LIndsey put his finger 
on the Why  - this FD must have a longer arm above the pivot and so 
logically that would require more cable travel to move the FD body X units. 
but lowering the attachment point just that little bit shortened the length 
above the pivot and so required just that little bit less cable that I 
could cover all the rings.
Was out for a test ride today and everything worked very very well. nice 
smooth shifts. (though I probably still do not have enough cable to push 
the FD out far enough to avoid cage rub on the highest rear cogs when in 
the big ring. But I'll live with that until I can find that alternate FD 
Bill suggested.

all in all today was my happiest ride on this SH. (swapping a slightly 
longer stem on helped too.)

thanks all for your help.

Peter
