2016-04-04 Thread Garth

2 + 2 = 4  

Is this principle limited locally, individually to me, you or anyone, or is 
this truth Universal, Infinite and belongs to everyone eternally and 
without bounds or restraint ? 

Can anyone steal it, buy it, sell it, hide it, hoard it, destroy it, make 
it more or less than the perfection it always is, has been and will be ?   
Can anyone change it it any way ?

  the answer is obvious. 

Principle is not an object of negotiation or commodity(thus invariable and 
vulnerable) , nor "in" anything . Everything identifiable is it's 
expression, yet the expression neither contains or limits it. The principle 
and it's expression of 2+2=4 cannot be limited or changed(thus vulnerable) 
it is immovable, permanent and Absolute. The principle and expression 
are One , a Whole "Unit" .  The Father and the Son.  One does not exist 
without the other. 

   Principle. Divine Intelligence. The Absolute. Such is Truth .  . . here 
is our "security" :) 

All expressions(forms of identification, bike, body, bird, tree, Earth 
etc.) are as secure as the Principle which they express.  "On Earth as it 
is in Heaven" 

I and My Father are One

So in practical terms related to Justin's question, are you suggesting 
that the best way to secure bicycles in a garage is to /Leave it to Jesus/?

If your garage door opener is an automatic one, make sure it's in good 
working orderespecially that it closes and locks

I have yet to be on the receiving end of this type of post but at this point 
I'd like a moderator to step in and ask this person to refrain from these 
responses. It's obnoxious and does nothing to help me or anyone else in this 
thread. It's classic trolling. Garth please don't respond further in this 
thread. It's not helpful to me. 


I like the tie-down in the wall idea and love the dirty tarp plan. 
Our beagle lives in the house. ;)
I got an alarm system but haven't gotten sensors for the garage. That's a 
possibility. I'll have to reach out to the company.

I use a sturdy lag ring bolt in a stud. Then a good U-lock to secure the 
bike to the ring. Ring bolts are easily sourced at the local hardware 
store. Or go here for super duty anchoring:

[RBW] Ribbit brakes

2016-04-04 Thread alford
Howdy Folks! 

I have a set of the Ribbit brakes (Mafac/ Spooky copies) on my Quickbeam and 
one of the straddle cable barrels is stripped. Found a replacement kit online 
but the cost is about the same as one wheel worth of the Tektro CR720 cantis. 
Wondering if I should stick to what I have or switch to the Tektros?  Anyone 
have experience with both brakes?  

Thanks,

John

[RBW] Re: Best advice for securing bikes in a garage

2016-04-04 Thread Kurt Manley
Congrats on the new house. As a fellow Oaklander who knows the area you are 
at high risk. I have been thinking about trying to buy a house in the same 
area and have given it some thought. 

I would not depend on anything bolted to the studs or any wood for that 
matter. I'd go into the concrete floor. You can rent a rotary hammer drill 
and do this quite easily. Then use some expanding studs to mount some 
anchors. Smash the tops of the threaded rods and use a glob of jb weld when 
you're done to prevent them from being unbolted. This is how they mount all 
of the U shaped bike lock poles around the city. Then I'd u lock right to 
that. 

You could use these to anchor a recessed or folding eyelet.

None of this is to say I don't think the other ideas are good, they'd be 
more than fine most places but it's east Oakland...You need a little 
extra here.

I thought I'd post a couple pics of my re-purposed 92 Bridgestone MB-2 in 
case there were any fans of old mountain bikes on this forum. The build is 
prettly Rivish, bags, racks, baskets, fat tires, comfy riding position, 
etc. More info on my blog if you want to geek out

[RBW] WTT: 64cm Quickbeam for 62cm Yves Gomez or Betty Foy

2016-04-04 Thread Mattt
Bunch,

Like the subject states, looking to trade my Quickbeam for your Yvez Gomez 
or Betty Foy or a Wilbury (hey you never know).


I bought the Quickbeam about two years off the list.  It has beausage that 
it came with.  I did the best I could to reflect it the pictures (link 
below).

http://s1056.photobucket.com/user/matttonay/library/Quickbeam


I just got frame straightened to perfect and the kickstand plate welded. 
 The frame was off about 3-4mm and the kickstand place had a tear.  

Maybe open to other trades.  I never know what is out there.

Let me know if you have any other questions.  

Contact me off list.


Matt

Re: [RBW] Re: Best advice for securing bikes in a garage

2016-04-04 Thread Surlyprof
I agree with Shoji.  Your homeowner's should cover it but you may want to 
make sure that they cover replacement value, not current value.  My bike 
was stolen once and I received a check for under $100.  After that hard 
lesson, I changed my renter's insurance to replacement value.  When another 
bike was stolen years later, the replacement value actually bought me a 
nicer bike (even after the $250 deductible).  Now, my shop, studio, library 
and bikes are in the garage/man cave.  After getting settled, we had a rep 
from the insurance company come out to do an assessment.  She explained 
what was covered, what documentation we needed and even gave us a couple of 
tips to reduce our premiums.  We have removed the auto garage opener and 
can only open it manually from the inside now.  Still susceptible but rest 
easier knowing that we're well documented and covered in case of fire or 
theft.

If the dog has access to the yard at night, that is great security.  I've 
read that if a burgler hears a dog they don't try to determine if it 
sounded nice, they move on to another house.  Our dogs are nice enough but 
they don't sound like that when they hear someone outside!

Congrats on your new bay area homestead.  Best decision we ever made!

just fine.



And in fact in many ways the correct answer is they are both just fine.  
But, in some cases, you could make an argument that one or the other is 
superior.  For example:


- Cantilever bosses are all pretty much the same and in pretty much the 
same place, so you could switch brands of brakes if you wanted to, 
whereas with centerpulls the brazed-on bosses are different from one 
brand to another and their position is different, so you're committed 
for live to a particular brake.  Some would see that as an advantage to 
cantis.  The standard pivot location also means there's a wider 
availability of off-the-shelf front racks, which maybe can save money.


- Some people find cantilever brakes to be difficult to impossible to 
adjust correctly.  Now the fact is, "impossible" is an outright lie: 
there are some skilled bike mechanics (Cycles Ed, who you might have 
seen at the Peanut Tour or at Bike Virginia is fantastic) who can adjust 
them just fine, but there are many local bike shop mechanics who simply 
can't deal with them.  By contrast, centerpulls are very easy to adjust.


- Centerpull braze on bosses are located higher up on the fork blades 
and seat stays, where the tubes are stiffer and more resistant to 
bending forces than cantilevers.  This means that in those 
edge-and-close-to-it cases where fork blade twist under hard braking 
induces brake shudder centerpulls win.  It also means you can use less 
stiff fork blades and seat stays with brazed on centerpulls, which 
(provided they're sufficient) is also a win. Some have argued that this 
also means centerpulls will always work better under very hard braking.


- Cantilever brakes can open wider, allowing a wider tire to pass 
through than centerpulls.  In some cases, that can be an advantage.


- Centerpulls can suffer from cosine error - where a worn pad swings up 
past the rim brake track and contacts the tire.  It doesn't take a 
second for the brake pad to eat through the sidewall and cause a 
blowout.  Cantilever brakes can do the opposite, and swing down past the 
bottom edge of the rim and fall into the spokes.  At best this results 
in no braking at all; at worst it can destroy the wheel. Hard call to 
determine which is more frequent and which failure mode is worse.


- There may be cost differences.  The nicest currently available new 
centerpull brakes (i.e., the Paul Racer and the Compass) are not cheap.  
For some that may matter a great deal, although if we're talking about 
custom frames that cost difference probably won't amount to much of the 
total cost of the bike.

[RBW] Re: Centerpulls vs. cantis

2016-04-04 Thread Philip Kim
i think each have their uses, since you're comparing both on braze-ons, i 
don't think there's a huge difference in braking power, especially for 
recreational road riding. centerpulls are a bit easier to set up imo, but 
cantis are more convenient if you're using wide road tires (switching 
wheels in and out of the bike frame without deflating tires due to 
clearance at brake arms). i used to ride centerpulls, but have since 
switched to cantis, mainly because of new bike to go off-road more.

Hello John,

Sorry, no experience with Ribbit brakes, but I do like the Tektro CR720 
cantis. I've had them on my Salsa Casseroll for almost two years now. They 
work fine, easy to set up, reasonable price and have a good classic long 
arm design. Remind me of old school Mafac cantis. I have Shimano Cx70 
cantis on my QB, they came with the bike and work just as well, not quite 
the same style as the Tektro's. I would recommend both.

I think it is a matter of what you are doing.  If you are just riding in
terms of recreational, any kind of braking system (drum, disk, cantilever,
etc) will work but in terms of expense, using typical cantilever, or
caliper brake system is enough.

As have centerpulls.   Brake shudder has proven to be a major problem 
with cantilever-equipped cyclocross bikes and you don't have to hunt 
very far to find knowledgeable industry types going on at length about 
how it is impossible to adjust cantilever brakes. There's no denying, 
properly setting up cantilever brakes (particularly smooth-post brake 
pad styles) does involve some serious black art, much more so than 
centerpulls.

Re: [RBW] Re: Best advice for securing bikes in a garage

2016-04-04 Thread Shoji Takahashi
Hi Justin,
Be careful about storing tools in the garage. I've heard of cases where 
tools in the garage were used by burglars to remove locks, etc.

If you haven't already, record your bikes' serial numbers, take some pics, 
and check your insurance policy on what is/is not covered. 

Good luck!

2. Is either just fine? I'm guessing it is but the more online stuff I read,

[RBW] WTT: Well-used Brooks B17 Honey for B17 Black

2016-04-04 Thread kielsun
Hi Folks:

New user here. Hoping I did this right.

Looking to trade my used Brooks B17 honey saddle for the same in black. Not 
interested in selling for now. 

I used it for a few years on my commuter, and it's in decent shape with 
scrapes and the like. Still plenty of life left in it. 

Please respond off list if you'd like to see pictures.

Thanks!

[RBW] Ribbit brakes

2016-04-04 Thread Philip Williamson
I have one wheel's worth of Tektros you can have cheaply. Twelve dollars 
shipped? They were installed briefly on the Quickbeam, but my heel hit them, so 
I put the original back brake back on.
I'd even trade for the Ribbit set, since I have a disassembled set of Spookys 
(bag of pieces), and it would be worthwhile to see how they should go together.

Re: [RBW] Re: Best advice for securing bikes in a garage

2016-04-04 Thread Mark Reimer
Congratulations on the new home! I'm hoping to get my membership card to 
this illusive club in the not too distant future myself. As such, bike 
storage and security has been on my mind as well. 

I know too many friends who've had their bikes ripped off from their 
garages. Not having a man-door is a great start. Do you have any windows? 
I'd bar them for sure, though that's probably obvious. The next thing is 
securing the car door. I'm guessing if you don't have a man door, you 
probably can't lock the car door to the ground from the inside hey... Hmm. 
Interesting challenge. 

I live in an apartment and for a while kept all my cheaper bikes in my 
storage locker (coupla surly bikes). I bought the heaviest gauge chain I 
could find locally and ran it through the frames and wheels of the bikes. 
It was tedious work as the chain was so heavy and awkward to remove, but 
when the locker was inevitably broken into, the bikes were all there...

The first suggestion of locking to the wall sounds good, but I wonder if 
the bike frame could be used as a lever to pull it out of the studs? The 
reason I liked locking the bikes to each other is that it creates one huge 
super awkward jumble of bikes. Totally impossible to move unless you cut 
the chain. And this chain took two *large* men standing on a cutting 
machine to break at the hardware store. My 2 cents!

If what I'm hearing from Mark is correct then I wholeheartedly agree: buy

think that is the n+5 rule. 

Congrats on the homeownership! I hope to be there too one day, my bike

 principle 
 and it's expression of 2+2=4 cannot be limited or changed(thus vulnerable)

Principle. Divine Intelligence. The Absolute. Such is Truth .  . . 
 here is our "security" :) 

 All expressions(forms of identification, bike, body, bird, tree, Earth

Yeah, that's what I meant!

One other super cheap and questionably effective suggestion...

Two guys I know leave a light and radio on at all times. Just loud enough

they don't come back over and over and catch on, it's a pretty good

2016-04-04 Thread Rich Lesnik
It has been pointed out to me that there is a typo in the price I listed 
for the Appaloosa cockpit (no wonder I got so many responses! and so fast!) 
The deal is $140, not $40.

Sorry. Anyone who's responded, I'm "desolee" and ask your forgiveness!
