[RBW] Re: My Roadeo on the Velo Cult blog
Very nice bike, Chris. I love the color. You will love the Paul's breaks, easy set up, great control. I liked them so much on my tandem that I bought a set for my Rambouillet. Two questions. I see that the front fender stay is nearly horizontal. I installed the same fluted Honjos on my Ram that way and got considerable TCO. I moved the stay down a couple of inches and solved about 90% of that. What's your experience with TCO on the fendered Rodeo? Also, what's the crank ring set up? For a while I made all my bikes a black free zone, then a Shimano free zone (after quite a few negative experiences) but now I take a more judicious approach. I love my White cranks, black and all; and I have to say my new Ultegra RD 6700 is the best shifting derailler I have used in 30+ years of riding. Anyway, enjoy the ride.

Beautiful bikes Chris. I have always had a passion for the older black Competitions. The bar on the Raleigh looks very interesting, what kind is it¿ ( i can type the ? upsidedown because Im currently vactioning in the Yucatan with my wife) The 3 speed hub sounds pretty cool too.

[RBW] Re: My Roadeo on the Velo Cult blog
Mike, the bars on my Raleigh Competition 3-Speed Fixed Wheel are track bars from Eighth-Inch: http://www.eighthinch.com/track_bars.html I was going for a Path Racer kind of set-up. I haven't decided if I like the bars yet, or not. They feel great in the drops. I want really shallow drops because it's not always as comfortable to get down deep and low on a fixed gear bike for a long period of time. But of course I've given up having nice, wide tops for the uphills and cruising around town. Also, now that the adjustable stem has allowed me to dial in the reach I like, I may install one of my lugged Nitto stems with the longer quill, so that I can get the bars higher. But then if I do that, I may go ahead and put on some Nitto Dream bars, at which point I'd probably have to get rid of the non-aero brake levers! See what a cascading effect just one change can have??? Also, I am installing Challenge Paris-Roubaix tyres on this bike this weekend. I just love them on my Roadeo and they will also cushion the harsher ride one gets on a fixed set-up. Plus the tan sidewalls will look more appropriate on this classic ride. when it's all done I will post a full slideshow with lots of comments and details. - Chris Kostman http://www.XO-1.org http://www.adventurecorps.com On Jan 26, 7:45 am, Michael_S mikeybi...@rocketmail.com wrote: Beautiful bikes Chris.

[RBW] Re: My Roadeo on the Velo Cult blog
Hi Rob I've been riding all those same roads since my first double century in 1983. Up through the 80s, including when I raced RAAM in 1987, nobody had a lower gear than 42x23. We sneered at C-Record when it came out with a 39 tooth small ring. Eventually I got older, grew out of my skinny teenager body, and started riding up much steeper climbs (Santa Monica Mountains, for ex) and started running a 39 tooth front with a 25, then 26, then 27, and then finally a 28 largest rear cog. Nowadays I run a 39/48 in front (or 38/48 on some cranks) and 11/28 in rear. I can get up anything on that 39/28 low gear, including the vast majority of the Rough Riding adventures in which I partake. I'm not a fan of triple cranks and only have them on my two mountain bikes and mountain bike tandem. I don't like compact doubles, either, because the jump is so wide between, for example, 34 to 48. - Chris Kostman La Jolla, CA http://www.XO-1.org http://www.adventurecorps.com On Jan 25, 8:41 pm, rperks perks@gmail.com wrote: Chris, it should be a really fun ride.

Re: [RBW] Re: My Roadeo on the Velo Cult blog
I have a 48x34 crankset (Velo Orange) on one of my bikes and an a 50x34 (Campy) on another. I don't find the big jump to be a drawback. In practice, I use the big ring for 90% or more of my riding, switching to the small ring just for the steep stuff. Once I'm in the small ring, I stay there and shift on the cogs, so I'm not going back and forth between rings. I've found the 50 and 48 big rings to be exactly right for my riding. Like Chris, I use big clusters 13-28 or 13-29, which in combination with a the 48 or 50 ring give me a great range of gears. I get spun out a little sooner on ripping fast downhills, but by that time I'm already going fast enough! --Eric campyonly...@me.com www.campyonly.com www.wheelsnorth.org On Jan 26, 2011, at 9:05 AM, XO-1.org Rough Riders wrote: Hi Rob I've been riding all those same roads since my first double century in 1983.

[RBW] Re: My Roadeo on the Velo Cult blog
Thanks, William. Those are Velo-Orange Grand Cru brakes on my Roadeo, but I'm in the process of making all my bikes VO-free Zones, so Velo Cult is ordering me some Paul's Racer M's (center-mount since I don't have the braze-ons) to run instead. Those will go on the bike along with the new Classic Silver bars, stem, and post by Ritchey in the next week or two. I also sent off a twin of the Dura Ace 7800 cranks to Tom Davis at www.perfectperforations.com to have them polished up nice and silver. So the whole shiny silver treatment, and final set- up of the bike will be done soon. Once it is, I'll post a slideshow of all the images. It's a great bike, to be sure! I'm planning to wear my Woolistic Velo Cult jersey at my 300km this Saturday, unless it's predicted to be well into the 80s, in which case I will wear a Rough Riders: Any Bike, Anywhere jersey with a thin Ibex wool base layer. I hope to see some other Rivendell riders out there. - Chris Kostman La Jolla, CA http://www.XO-1.org On Jan 25, 4:24 pm, William tapebu...@gmail.com wrote: Looks great, Chris.

[RBW] Re: My Roadeo on the Velo Cult blog
Chris, it should be a really fun ride. I have done many of the pieces of the route, but never all at once they way it was put together for this brevet. I know you are a strong rider, but put some thought intio your gear range, there are some pretty serious hills thrown in there, mostly in the middle. Casitas pass has taken me by suprise with the lack of breeze and steepness, it can get hot and long on the back side of the lake, even on days when it is cool everywhere else. I would pack layers and have a few extra teeth in the rear jus in case. I was thinking about doing this ride as it is the closest to my home, but 300k on this route is not where my fitness is at the moment, maybe I will see you guys out there though I hope to be riding in the mid day.
