[RBW] FS: RARE: Platsack bag and Nitto rack $150 plus shipping, also Wiggy's sleeping bag

[Ana Candela]

Hi there,

This is a rare Sackville bag that goes with its special rack. I bought it 
used from fellow list member Bill Lindsay a year ago. I unfortunately did 
not use it even once (I did not even take the bubblewrap out, and it's 
still in the same box Bill shipped it!), but I can say I kept good custody 
of it ;)  It is in great condition as Bill took good care of it. I'm 
leaving town Tuesday, so must sell before Sunday, so I can ship Monday. I 
paid $175 plus shipping. Asking $150 plus shipping, but open to offers.

I also have a Wiggy's sleeping bag that Riv used to sell. I used it a few 
times as a throw blanket but never took it camping. Comes with bag. Paid 
$125. Asking $60 plus shipping.

Photos to follow...

Thanks for looking!

Also, if you buy the Platsack (Platrack -sp?) bag, I’ll throw in the little
bag that goes with the large Sackville saddlebag. Used two or three times
only. Same olive color.

Re: [RBW] Re: Being Precious About Your Favorite Bike

[Ana Candela]

Leah,

Take the Platypus. Your precious will become more precious the more you 
ride not the more she stays behind. But please please, like everyone has 
said already, take all bikes with you in the hotel. Do not even leave them 
inside the van. If anything, do it for MY peace of mind ;)

On a different note, #matchymatchy -- be still my heart!! You have upped 
the game with those raspberry frame protectors! Now I look at my gray ones, 
and they look so dull and unexciting. But #rivsisters unite: I also label 
them, but only abbreviated: TT, DT, STT, STB, SSL, SSR... It does help when 
in a rush at the train station :-D

Enjoy your trip!
-Ana

Stand has been SOLD. It seems I'm not able to remove the post to remove 
list clutter (only individual posts). Does anyone know of a trick to remove 
the whole thread? I'll look around...

Thanks!

[RBW] Re: Leah Peterson Takes A Stand

[Ana Candela]

Hi Leah,

I am currently selling my two bike stands: one is the one Riv sells (about 
2 years old); the other, a Feedback mid range model (about 6-8 years old?). 
I'm selling them locally because shipping would be a downside (I would 
think at least $40),  but I'm open to negotiation. They're both great, but 
I'm selling because I need a third hand to set my bike on them, and that's 
something you may want to consider when getting a. stand, whatever model 
you choose. I can't carry my bike with one hand while affixing the clamp 
with the other. I've hurt my bike and myself in the process, and I'm 
looking for a different kind of stand, but apparently it doesn't exist yet, 
unless I want a huge hydraulic stand for e-bikes. Why can't they make a 
version of a car/moped jack for bikes? Way cheaper and even way less 
cumbersome.

Anyway, if you're interested, I can send pics.

-Ana

Re: [RBW] Re: Naive but very important question: how best to attach 12-packs to your rear rack?

[Ana Candela]

Once you try straps, you’ll never go to bungee cords again. One Irish strap is 
all you need for this particular load, but 
#youcanneverhavetoomanyjohnsirishstraps ;)

PS - Do get the Captain Hook net. Great for the basket —just like the red one— 
but in a summery cool color :)

[RBW] Wald 137 bag recommendations?

Patch,

The great thing about bike baskets is their versatility, and with a cargo net, 
you don’t have to use a basket specific bag. You can switch them out depending 
on load, weather... Love'em all bags!

Here are a few:

[RBW] FS: 56cm Rivendell Glorius

[Ana Candela]

David,

I’m sorry that you’re having to part with your beautiful Glorius. I’m confident 
it will sell fast —or maybe someone has already contacted you!

Apologies if this is a bit OT, but I just wanted to take the opportunity to 
thank you for having posted photos of this bike back when you did. I came 
across them sometime over three years ago, and I have to thank yours and a few 
other Glorius for the inspiration that I now enjoy my very own Riv :-) And I’m 
sure it inspired others as well, and I’ll always be feel grateful for it!

Thank you!

[RBW] Bar end shifters on Boscos?

[Ana Candela]

I love Boscos and I love bar end shifters; however, I would recommend to check 
your clearance with your knees. I think Boscos are great for larger bikes. I 
used them originally on my bike, but I have a smaller frame and knee clearance 
was a big issue unfortunately :(

I’ve used these on my bike. I highly recommend all of them is their own 
qualities :)

-Soma New Xpress 650B x 38 (34.71) express - BLACK tread: I think these ones 
would fulfill what you’re looking for in terms of balance of budget, flat 
protection, and smooth ride. My only complaint is the tan walls that will never 
go back to their tan glory after a rainy ride. I know, trivial, but then what’s 
the point of tan walls if they’re stained?

-Panaracer Pasela PT Wire 650B x 42 tire, blackwall: also budget, more heavy 
duty, great flat protection. I used them all winter here in rainy Seattle’s 
potholed pavement. This is the maximum size that the fenders will fit. Barely a 
few mm of clearance, and you need to adjust the brake pads every time you take 
the tires off.

-Compass 650B x 42 Babyshoe Pass: splurge and luxury for sure, not what you’re 
looking for but definitely keep an eye on them. They're really nice and smooth 
and tougher than what they seem. I’ve only ridden them in fair weather, but 
they’ve handled great in Seattle’s awful pavement. Not sure if I’ll keep them 
for the rainy winter though.

[RBW] nail polish suggestions

[Ana Candela]

I agree. That red nail polish looks like blood, haha :-P

I’m all about nail polish, and I probably have a similar color in my stash if 
you’re interested. However, to avoid the close-but-not-close-enough color 
matching, how about retouching with the blue of the decals (or another color 
from the decals or bags, for example). Or go wild like we did a couple months 
ago at Rivelo, when Aaron retouched his Atlantis with holo nail polish 
https://instagram.com/p/BkRy4ozBL40/  I’ll be doing the same soon...

[RBW] WTB: Small Riv or Riv-ish Frame

[Ana Candela]

Mike:
I don’t have a bike for sale, just a recommendation on size. I’m also 5'4", 
with pbh at 75cm. A 50cm Cheviot would fit her great, and the current sage 
color would be hard to pass up! The Clem is also great for city riding; that 
bike floats :)

[RBW] Re: How do Rivendells fare fenderless on dry salty winter roads?

[Ana Candela]

Here in the PNW we only get a week or two of salty roads, but plenty of rainy 
weeks, so take my advice with a grain of salt ;-D

I always keep fenders on. But even so, I still squirt a bottle of water on 
frame, wheels, and drivetrain after a ride. My bike has seen two very wet 
winters so far, and has fared perfectly.

Definitely keep riding your Rambouillet in the winter. You want the best bike 
you can ride in harsh conditions :-)

[RBW] PURPLE RIV IN BICYCLE QUARTERLY

Thank you, Jon, Leah, Doug & Mark, for your kind words :)

Matt: the model is a custom mixte Glorius

Who is Ana? What’s the story? She’s one of the many participants at the Bicycle

Tahuya Hills, a ferry ride away west of Seattle. BQ’s latest edition features 
many of the riders and bikes, some photos smallish, some biggish...

Ah yes, the bell is most definitely the priority ;) Anyway, I checked their

left. But rumor has it new colors and a slightly new design is in store for the 
medium. Your brother in law will fall so much in love with his new Clem that

Re: [RBW] Re: Model redundancy: Why not offer only canti/V brakes on all models? Why not offer a 650b on every model?

[Ana Candela]

Could be that choice of brake pads may improve (or not) your braking power, at 
least in my experience. My side-pull brakes work great here in hilly rainy 
Seattle. That said, lately I’m having not-so-great results with salmon pads in 
dry weather. They were recommended for wet conditions over black pads, which 
were grinding my rims away. I will probably go back to black ones...

[RBW] Re: Hot waxing chains?

[Ana Candela]

Michael,

It may look like a hassle at first for acquiring the necessary stuff and 
thoroughly cleaning the chain to prep it for waxing. This is only done ONCE. 
Thereafter, it takes only five minutes (+30 min of heating and letting it cool 
down) every three or so weeks in dry weather, every week in wet (I commute 
daily in Seattle).

There are several YouTube videos, and I recommend these two by Oz cycle:
Cleaning: https://youtu.be/D0eOxbnzDQA (long comparison of cleaning methods, 
use kerosene)
Waxing: https://youtu.be/gF9nbwsaSHs

I posted some of my process on Instagram:

Impressions:

Hope this helps. Good luck!

Three and a half lengths of chain definitely calls for Sheldon Brown’s “The

https://www.sheldonbrown.com/chainclean.html

For waxing, substitute the Phil Wood green grease with paraffin wax and the 
Deakins White RollerGrease with paraffin oil.

[RBW] Re: PSA Ram on Ebay

[Ana Candela]

I happened upon it the other day when I went to Goodwill to pick up some stuff 
I had bought. Very exciting to see a Rivendell frame just sitting there next to 
the wall. I even took a few photos, and as Lim says, not only could it have 
been never ridden, but never built even. However, it looked as if it had been 
stored in some abandoned corner of a shed or such all this time, and I’m bummed 
to report of rust.

Bob: I’m guessing the original winning bidder saw the frame and decided not 
worth to restore :(

[RBW] dogs on Rivs

[Ana Candela]

I once tried it with a trailer and my 40ish-pound dog, and she jumped out of it 
within the first 20 feet. I gave up after a couple more tires. Goes without 
saying to try it in a park or on a residential street before trying streets 
with traffic.

Last Saturday at Rivelo’s anniversary party, their two granddogs (Boston 
Terriers) rode in cocoon-shaped backpacks, so cute! So that could be another 
option to acquaint your dog with riding and then graduate to the basket.

[RBW] Helpless in Nevada: How do you secure this fender?

[Ana Candela]

Leah,

After reading the 70 posts, I already forgot half of what I wanted to comment, 
but first I can only commiserate with you and your bikeshopless situation. I, 
on the other hand, am lucky to have not one but two very good LBSs nearby. Even 
if there is no other bike shop around you, I still stand on ditching that bike 
shop —and I am happy to see everyone here agrees. And I can totally imagine the 
grand opening of #thewigglyfender bike shop in Vegas 🤣

I’m glad you’ve got plenty of help here to fix the situation and that you took 
the fender off before it could cause any damage. I cannot offer any suggestions 
because I think all has been said, and I don’t have experience with metal 
fenders, only my plastic ones that I uninstalled at some point, and then I 
followed Riv’s video with Mark installing one. It’s a joy to watch Riv’s 
videos. I wish they did more videos on maintenance. It’s hard to find good 
instructional ones.

One thing that worries me is you mentioning the lousy packaging job they did 
for your Clem, so what about your Betz? Could you put her back together again 
while you wait for your Cheviot?

Keep on riding!

[RBW] Randi Jo Fab bartender bag for RBW

[Ana Candela]

Leah,

I second Jonathan’s suggestion. The Rivelo camera bag is really nice. The 
photos do not make justice. I would guess that one could fit my 40oz bottle.

I also recall John posting that Randy was there for a trunk show a week or two 
ago, and left some regular bartender bags as well as caps in stock at Rivelo.

[RBW] Re: 25th Anniversary not-meeting, Entmoot, Fellowship of the Rigs, get together and ho-down

Hi!

Is the Bay Area 25th anniversary meeting still happening? Did it move to a 
separate mail list? I’m planning a trip to San Francisco and would love to 
combine it with this ride.

Thanks!

[RBW] Has Anyone Rinko'd Their Riv? - Follow Up on Yesterday's Rivendell Email

[Ana Candela]

Hi Steve,

I did a home practice a while ago but have not applied it yet out there in the 
field. Check out my IG post: https://instagram.com/p/BfcuunNDPHe/. This is not 
quite Rinko because I had my bike fully disassembled while servicing. Also 
check hashtags #rinkobike and #rinkobag for others' posts. I’m doing another 
test later today or tomorrow while servicing my bike and will surely posts more 
pics.

About Amtrak: I’ve had good experiences, but also very bad ones. Twice I’ve 
come to find my bike dropped on the floor —with the corresponding scruffs >:-( 
Thankfully no dings though.
A few things to consider: there are limited spots; check if there’s a surcharge 
in your area; here in the NW it’s $5 each way, hey, but you can check two 50-lb 
suitcases for free! You must unload all your bags and panniers from it: once 
they made me unnattach my EMPTY saddlesack! Another time I came to find out a 
passenger sleeping in the luggage compartment! And lastly, this is a personal 
preference, I don’t like the idea of my bike hanging from a hook with all the 
weight on a small spot of the rim. Sorry to sound so bitter about it, YMMV.

I love traveling by train, but next week I’m headed to Portland and chose the 
bus instead: while less comfortable than the train, it’s cheaper, more frequent 
departures, no bike surcharge, and my bike slides sideways in the baggage 
compartment below.

Have fun with rinkoing your bike! The link posted by Ed above is a great 
resource, and there’s a more recent article on it in BQ #67 p. 24 for extra 
Rinko indulgence ;)

I don’t pack my bike for bus travel; I just slide it in. A few examples:

Re: [RBW] Has Anyone Rinko'd Their Riv? - Follow Up on Yesterday's Rivendell Email

[Ana Candela]

Hi Patrick,

That’s the way it’s done on buses, at least here in the NW, so no convincing to 
be done ;)  I do try to be the first in line when the luggage doors open, so I 
can slide the bike in first, and then everyone can put their bags around it.

[RBW] Re: Multimodal Traveling: Rolling your Riv onto a Bus

[Ana Candela]

Hi Kellie,

No extra fees for the BoltBus, and no reservation needed. It is first come 
first served, which can be problematic on trips when there’s lots of luggage, 
and people cut in front to put their bag first, so you have to move them out of 
the way to be able to fit your bike.

One thing I found on my return trip was that there’s an extra compartment. 
Another bicycle arrived later, the front compartments were not quite full, but 
would’ve required a lot of moving around. The driver popped that third door 
open. I’m doing that next time, because I came to find a duffle bag on top of 
my front wheel 😒

Also I remember the time we were three bikes, and the driver wanted to place 
one on top of the other, and I said “No, we’re not!”. There was enough room; 
just people don’t want to slide their stuff all the way to the opposite side. 
It hasn’t happened that there has not been room. I wonder if anyone else has 
had that experience and what happens then. Maybe have your bike rinkoed as a 
backup plan...

Hmm, I don’t know why they’re sideways. I can’t even POST photos 🤷‍♀️ But I

[RBW] Converting a triple to a low/low

[Ana Candela]

Johnny,

I recently did this. I had a 170 double with chain guard. I bought a 165 
triple, and I just swapped the cranks between them. Works great!

I think you could just take the big ring off, like some here are saying. I have 
it if you’re still looking for one. It’s disassembled. Rings are new, cranks 
are about 4,000 miles.

[RBW] Recommendations on cycling to Rivendell and around San Francisco and the Bay Area

[Ana Candela]

Hi everyone,

I’ll be attending a workshop in Santa Cruz, visiting Riv HQ, and 
rambling/touring around the Bay Area the first ten days or so in October. I’d 
like to ask for recommendations to locals and everyone who has done this before.

There are a couple threads from which I’ve already jotted down some very good 
ideas and suggestions (walking/transit for one day: 
https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/rbw-owners-bunch/9HCur_vFbz4 and 
driving for a couple days: 
https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/rbw-owners-bunch/tcDE9hIkvaA).

Now, I’ll be bringing my bike along, and I’ll be CYCLING for about a week, so 
any bike-specific recommendations (must-do, steer-away-from) on cycling, 
transit, multimodal traveling, eating, weather, camping, lodging, events that 
will enhance my stay will be greatly appreciated :)

Thank you!

[RBW] Re: Recommendations on cycling to Rivendell and around San Francisco and the Bay Area

[Ana Candela]

Thank you all for your recommendations. I have been incorporating them into my 
planning, and now I just gave the final touches to prepping my bike. I am 
thinking of doing most of your suggestions, or as much as I can. I’ll be sure 
to post photos. Evan: I won’t be able to make it to the pancake ride, as I’ll 
be back home by then, but thank you!

If you see a purple Riv cruising in the Bay Area, wave or ring your bell or 
both! 👋 🛎 😊

Thank you for the recommendation, Yakeen. I’ll see if I have time when I
have a break midday tomorrow. I’ll be almost all day by the Walton
Lighthouse, if you want to come by to meet and see some beach
calligraphy... and a nice Riv who loves the outdoors but really does not
belong in the sand... hmm, or does it? 😉

Re: [RBW] Re: Volume of LARGE Saddlsack?

[Ana Candela]

Hi Patrick,

David’s memory is right. Here’s the text from 
http://web.archive.org/web/20161028191636/http://www.rivbike.com:80/product-p/bassl-o.htm

Capacity
Not bulged (imagine): 1700 cubic inches, or 27.8 liters (the British way)
Bulged but not ridiculous: 1984 cubic inches, or 32.5 liters

The great thing about this bag is you can think “outside the bag”, so you can 
always count on it for “ridiculous” loads! Loads of fun ;-D

Re: [RBW] Comparing Fabio's Chest and Large Saddlesack in use [was:Volume of LARGE Saddlsack?]

[Ana Candela]

Patrick,

Besides what Patrick suggested of strapping stuff on top, the Sackville bags 
allow for expandability with their inner flap and extra long straps, so only 
the sides would be exposed with really large loads. I’m sure you could carry a 
few bags of cheese puffs! ;-)

I’ve never used the Fabios chest bag, but it looks like it’s expandable by 
rolling up the top, so you would have the top of your load exposed. If you want 
to fit the volume you mention and have it covered and tucked in nicely, you 
would have to look for a another bag instead.

Looking at both websites, not only is the Sackville more stylish and better 
quality but cheaper, too!
