[RBW] Re: Finished Hunqapillar Build

[Conway Bennett]

I have only ridden it to tune it.  So nothing to report on handling yet.  I 
have a handle bar bag on most bikes I own and I have never experienced handling 
issues.  Maybe because the bags are on the smaller side and I only keep 
necessities that I need at arm's reach in them.

Very nice.  How does the high handlebar bag (high, as opposed to one that 
sits lower down on a front rack) affect your Hunq's handling?  I found that 
it made mine surprisingly squirrelly.

The drivetrain is a 36t wolf tooth drop stop front ring, xt 10 speed 11/36
cassette and an ultegra mid cage derailer.  I hate setting up front
derailleurs and I live in the second flattest state in the union so I'm
covered for gearing both here and beyond.

I bought a sunrace 9 speed 11-40 cassette for my wife's bike and did the
whole turkey vulture thing except with a stick shift front.  I

Chris,

Yes those are wtb byways.  I rode the old 54 hunq at Riv years back and loved 
it and wished it were bigger.  I didn't measure standover, and I never have, 
but my pbh was measured at Riv at 88.  This bike feels really good.

Beautiful bike! I've always like the green on the Hunq. I also have a Tubus 
Tara on my Sam--I wish the Riv forks had mounts in the right place to fit 
it without an adapter.

One build question--what is that bottle mount for on the downtube? Never 
seen anything like it.

And I see a ton of bikes in the background! Wish I had that kind of 
space...actually, it's probably better that I don't.

[RBW] Re: Finished Hunqapillar Build

['Chris Lampe 2' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Are those one of the WTB 47mm tires and if so, did you measure the 
stand-over?  I think I'm just on the cusp of fitting a 56 (versus a 53) 
Hunqapillar.

[RBW] Re: finished hunqapillar build

[erik jensen]

i took the hunqapillar out for a ride yesterday, and aside from coming down
with some sort of flu out in the middle of briones, all was great. The 2.35
big apples roll over most anything, it was a bit crazy to find myself
picking out the most difficult line for a change. quite a bit different than
the 38mm slicks i've been using on the atlantis. they're heavy though, so i
might look for something a bit skinnier just to help speed things up
slightly. but as it is, the bike seems to beg you into trying to stop it and
doesn't fail in the role.

i love the mordor feel attribution, it certainly looks and feels the part.

here's a build list:

*cockpit*: bullmoose bars, paul thumbies, tektro levers.
*wheels*: front, phil touring 36h mavic a719 -- rear, xtr 32h t517 (had both
sitting around, hence the odd spoke imbalance, good enough though with large
tires!)
*drivetrain*: white industries wide range double (40x24), xt cassette
(11-34), tiagra front + xt rear derailleurs
*brakes*: front, paul components neo retro -- rear, empella froglegs
nitto 83 seatpost, brooks.

most all of this was used, which helped keep the cost down.

patrick, the white industries crank has a variable bolt diameter--the inner
ring mounts where it needs to along a continuous groove.

again, thanks for all the positive comments. i'm flattered but i must insist
that the real credit is due to those who crafted the frame and parts!

looking forward to many rides!

Re: [RBW] Re: finished hunqapillar build

[PATRICK MOORE]

I must look into that WI crankset.

I've found that the BAs roll very well for their bulk; they even climb
surprisingly well -- and I've paired mine with 780 gram 45 mm rims --
and this even at absurdly low pressures -- sub 15/sub 20. Yesterday I
was maintaining 18 mph on pavement (as well as on firm gravel) with
the effort that gives me 19 or 20 on the narrow tire'd, much lighter
Rivendells. Hell, I think that the Fargo with these tires is as fast
as the Sam HIll with 33 mm JB greens.

And, of course, it is amazing what you can ride over with 60 MM + of soft tire.

I'd love to compare a Hunk with the Fargo equipped with the same
wheels, but alas, no chance of that.

Re: [RBW] Re: finished hunqapillar build

[PATRICK MOORE]

I must save for one of those. I've been hassling myself trying to make
a 44/30 double for the Fargo without widening the Q any more than it
currently is (160) with the XD2 and the 113 mm Tange. I can't run the
44 and 30 in the inner positions because they then butt up against the
stay before they get half tight. On the outer positions, of course, I
can only go down to a 34.

The VBC would fit the frame with the existing 113 with room to spare
(only 121 mm across the stays at the 8 point) and I expect it will
also give me a lower Q.

Hey Patrick,

A cheaper option might be to keep an eye out for the 94/58 bcd cranks.
Ritchey used to make them. They were the original compact crank.

With 94 BCD, 44/30 works well. I'm running this crank on my bike with
a 103 mm bb.

Another option is the Sakae 86 BCD crankset that used to ship on
mid-80's Trek tourers. The rings are deprecated, but lots of these
cranksets are around. I think the standard set up was 52/44/28 or
similar -- so removing the 52 and sliding the 44/28 over a slot works
well for a low-Q crank.

Finally: there's always the Sugino PX/Cyclotourist double set up.

I like 44/30-ish doubles and low tread, so I'll use all of these
cranks -- which can be found if you keep an eye out.
