What I have learned so far is don't bend a Tubus rack too far or else, and Jim Thill's comment: As far as Tubus customer service, or any customer service...I never put my faith in an email's ability to communicate my point (or get through spam filters). I have a hunch that a phone call to Ortlieb/Tubus USA would have the desired result. I talk to those people all the time. They're really helpful. I didn't buy my Tubus racks because they had a 10 year warranty I purchased them because they seemed to have been well thought out and their price point, and as I stated I have no experience with any of these racks but look forward to having some data to report back. Again thanks to all. Best, Hugh -- You received this message because you are subscribed to a topic in the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Hey Doug, I was wondering how you were going to handle that scratch? I figured as you've had your bike over 10 years you got over the idea of scratches a while ago. ~Hugh Hugh Sunland, Ca On Wed, May 22, 2013 at 6:49 PM, dougP dougpn...@cox.net wrote: Every couple of years I get a fresh bottle of model paint go to it.

Re: [RBW] Riv Bikes Tackle The Mountains
Hey Mike, I figured I took it too literal. Yeah I can imagine working in an ER would make me want alone time too. I'm a fairly social person but at times human contact can wear me out especially as I age. Solo rides are wonderful because you don't have to compromise on the ride you desire. I like your equating a solo ride to a walkabout. I just finished reading about Freddie Hoffman now he inspires me. Talk about a ramble. David was complementary and said you were someone to definitely ride with. So it's my plan to ride with PDX folks next year. I love Puddle town and have never ridden my bike up there, so many reasons to visit.

I do love post ride grub with riding companions after an exceptional ride. Still, like Henry C., I don't hate people, but I do sometimes feel better when they're not around. My work days are spent in a frequently hectic environment (an emergency room) so I enjoy my solitude on my days off. I've actually ridden with David here in Portland a few years ago. It was a great ride but too short. Unfortunately we were unable to connect the last time he was here. I've ridden with others from the list and it's always been fun. I remember back in SF I knew people that couldn't handle riding alone which always seemed kind of sad to me. Ever since I started riding I've enjoyed riding alone. I remember doing my first century after I had been riding 6 months, I felt like I was on a walkabout.

I'd be good with the Southern Sierra on Manny's date. Just wondering though is it worth a 4 hour drive 8 hour RT for two days? Shall we make it at least three? Or would that cause a drop off in participation? Mike since you know the area let's talk route. I imagine we would have have a meet up spot, then ride to a base camp with a next day Rumble. Just throwing it out there perhaps Meet at Shaver lake and ride to Huntington Lake 22 miles for camping then the next day ride out perhaps toward Kaiser peak on some of those graded dirt roads? Or meet at Huntington Lake and ride the 24 miles toward Florence Lake? Let me know what you think? If this firms up I'll look for a USGS map of the area.

El Chorro says on their website that arriving in the middle toward end of the week is the best chance. I wouldn't count on camp ground hopping but then again you might get lucky. Another thought is checking Craigslist and maybe getting a rental for a few days, if you have enough people this may be economically workable. As you know there are many distances / possibilities. Out to the coast and back could be anywhere from 30-40 miles. looping through Morro Bay to Los Osos / estuary up over Turri Road to Los Osos Valley Road (LOVR) back toward SLO up O'Connor way through Camp San Luis / Cuesta College would be manageable for many. As mentioned my post that didn't post I am a daily work commuter. 16 miles round trip from SLO to Cuesta College and errands / shopping on weekends puts me at a comfortable 90+ miles a week.

Re: [RBW] Re: Big Sur Tour
Another lesson: Check with local cyclists if possible. Locals would probably not have routed you on Highway 92.

Re: [RBW] Re: Big Sur Tour
Thanks Doug, I learned a great deal not the least of take more days off, reduce miles per day so you can soak it all in I.E. take more pictures,camp more, bring less clothing as if you bring the right stuff you can wash dry quickly. I enjoyed meeting different cyclotourists and especially enjoyed the diversity of machines they choose to ride.

A couple of friends have Novarra Sarfaris and one guy was musing on doing the Xtracycle thing. Now I can point him to a photo. Of course, no one is set up like that guy with the giant trailer!

On June 14thBruce picked me up in LA loaded up the bikes and headed for Paso Robles where we were planning to catch the Amtrak coast starlight to Oakland. The Coast Star Light was 20 minutes late and when it arrived the chief conductor said we could not bring our bikes aboard as we had not made reservations for boxes. If we had all we’d have needed to do was remove the pedals and loosen the handlebars and roll it into the box provided. Needless to say we were in a bind, what to do? It was Friday on graduation weekend and 5:30pm most of the rental car establishments were closing and the ones that were open had no cars to rent especially one way. We rented a Camry in SLO for $100 a day drove back to Paso and dropped off our car stuffed the tour bikes in the Camry and make it to the Clarion Hotel in Oakland at midnight my front fender took a hit and was bent awkwardly. The following day we jumped on BART and headed to RivHQ. How can you be so close to the epicenter of relaxed common sense cycling and not stop in? It was mandatory. We made some repairs and final purchases met with Will, Sean, Scott, Harry the man behind it all Grant who was busy on a photo shoot preparing for a BW catalogue. Harry Scott helped us Google map a route over to Pigeon Point Lighthouse and Grant humored me with a pose with the loaded Hilsen and said “the Hilsen’s not really a loaded tour bike”. But he felt it would handle just fine. We finally made our way back to the BART albeit late and headed for San Bruno. From there we promptly got confused as the Beta bicycle map feature lead us along a bikeway of enumerable (Lesson carry a map) turns and eventually lead us up to a closed bridge near Crystal Springs Reservoir. Fortunately we met a local cyclist who got us straightened out and we were on our way to Half Moon Bay via the 92 (note to self never take this route again) which had little to no shoulder lots of traffic and was windy. We stopped in Half Moon Bay refueled with sandwiches and continued to our Light house destination for the evening. The next day was our big mileage day 70 miles to the Marina area just north of Monterey via the farm lands of Castroville and Watsonville. The Ramada provided us with warm showers great beds and a breakfast in the morning where we loaded up with instant oatmeal and peanut butter for our two days in the Sur. We both agreed that night’s pizza “The Luau” was the best ever! Our third day of riding took us through Monterey and Caramels 17 mile drive which if by car there was a fee and if by bicycle well we just rolled through the gate another benefit of being on a bicycle. I’ve got to say that this stretch is amazing as there are no large cliffs and reminds me of La Jolla in San Diego. We made a pit stop at the grocery store at the south end of Carmel to load up on supplies, Dutch Crunch bread, fresh fruit and other essentials. One of my fender nuts had fallen off and there was an Ace Hardware store where I conveniently got a replacement. We continued on for another 26 miles to the Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park hike bike camp located a bit away from the water but none the less beautiful as it was in a Redwood grove and $5 per person, warm showers and Velo-culture abounded, it was like riding into a cyclo city just awesome! We met so many great people. Next morning we made our way toward Kirk Creek Camp which was situated near the water and a bit exposed. The thing was that the hike and bike area had been overtaken by car campers as they liked the location and we were relegated to a typical car camp spot, that didn’t dampen our mood as

Re: [RBW] Re: NITTO-esqe new King cages on Riv now for cheap!
Steve, Seriously I've been using the iris cages now for two months with kleen kanteens and admit they are a stiff pull, but in those two months I've become use to them. I have never attempted to pull the third one bottom of down tube while riding as I believe you would need to have the flexibility of a circ du soleil performer. Perhaps you can hand bend them out a bit then mount them. I used the Velo-Orange retro cages and they held the Kleen Kanteens okay but on any rough terrain they rattled which was annoying.

There are no longer blanket long term closures, but some USMC training operations might block a particular set of days. One needs to call ahead. If the coast is clear (obvious chance to use that phrase, don't you know), you will need an ID such as a California Driver's license to clear the guard post at the South entrance. If the coast is not clear, you are diverted onto the shoulder of I5. I did that once after 9/11 in the era of long term closure and will never do it again; better to boost a ride on Metrolink and retain your sanity without lasting psychosis. For those who have never done it, the personnel on the base are very professional gentlemen and gentle-women. I have never encountered anything but courtesy, encouragement, and enthusiasm from them on my rides across the base. Sometimes they are performing operations and their equipment and professionalism is impressive. Camping with other Riv oriented folks at San Mateo sounds great.

Re: [RBW] Re: Calling all SoCal Rivsters S240 August 23rd anyone? See details below.
David, Let me see I have a spare tent you can use. I have a 1 person about 3 lbs 2 person with a trail weight( Fly, poles footprint) of 4 lbs works well. Let me decide which I'm bringing and you can use the other. Cool?

I know I'll be riding the 30 odd miles to camp so theoretically I could unload the Hilsen then do a short single track ride.

Tom, Hope you can make it. As Grant puts it a S240 is a quick not too many logistical issues involved affair, and even if there are issues it's just an overnight the next day were all back to civilization. But yes it is shaping up nicely. I hope to put more of these together and try to bring more SoCal Riv riders together and not let the NorCalers have all the fun. As Evan put it, it's nice to have a mental health day. Best.

I do regret that I cannot commit to getting up to starting from Irvine for the full S24O from the transit station or Doug's in the timeframe (have lighting, and can deal with dark if I do it later). I may opt with Doug and either bring take out or ride out for comeda. I don't want to take all the cook gear. OTOH, once I've got there, I have a largish Sackville, saddle bag and can do carrier service back into civilization for supplies and any liquid refreshment that might be required to ensure restful sleep. I might opt to ride back South with any San Diegans or those who would like to extend their ride and visit our county. Let me know. I ride slow. un-racer. Do you have a reservation and how do I specify the campsite when I get there?. What did this cost you to reserve? May I contribute? I am a short timer in this group, but I have seen such passion about these bikes and the people here that I feel compelled to meet all of you that turn out. Heck yes, I am bringing camera and iPhone (gotta prove that it happened to wife). Perhaps we should create a proof that it happened clump on flickr and post so other folks can enjoy.

Thanks Doug, I did make the bicycle reservation. I should have been more specific with my question. I was concerned with the Pacific Surf Liner and bicycle transport boxed or not. Thankfully you have covered it. Thanks, -Hugh On Aug 9, 2013 3:08 PM, dougP dougpn...@cox.net wrote: ..can you once again remind me again the bicycle policy on the Pacific Surf liner? When you book your ticket you also need to add a bike. There's no charge but it reserves space on the train for your wheels. Amtrak's policy on the Surfliner is 6 bikes total per train BUT since it's new enforcement has not been stringent. I've used them 2X since it started had a bike reservation both times. A random twist that may occur is type if equipment. If the train is made up of the newer, double deck passenger cars, look for a blue bicycle logo on a car toward one end or the other. You can just wheel your bike on that without removing panniers. Melanie I happened to have this set-up on all 3 trains we used on our tour. BUT if the train is the older, single deck cars, they have steep steps up into the car. If that's the case, you need to corral the conductor (he'll actually be looking for you if you have a reservation) and LIFT your bike up to the floor level of the baggage car, about shoulder height. I can't do this with any amount of panniers. Same drill getting off. The conductor has to go into the car and hand your bike down to you on the platform. This was what I encountered on both trains I used a couple of weeks ago, and it was in Ventura that I found out about it. dougP On Thursday, August 8, 2013 9:10:03 PM UTC-7, hsmitham wrote: Gentlemen, Working on my Amtrak return trip.

Re: [RBW] Love the Drops.
Curtis, I appreciate the offer however the differential between my Hilsen 58 cm and your 67cm Hilsen probably wouldn't be the most effective trial geometry. I'd have to plant my magic bean just to mount your bike friendly giant. I will give it a go just for the humor of it. Of course it's all based on individual need and I'm sure I'll love a bicycle outfitted with an albatross or stash bar.

Did a 300 plus mile tour with the drops and felt something was missing. So...on went the Albatross bars. First ride using them was yesterday. Did about 40 miles. So far I really like them here is why: 1. More up right. I can see better not only the cars, but the environment as a whole. At the speed the bike goes I like to look around and see the sights. 2. My hands seem to fall naturally on the cork grips. 3. Good for climbing hills. I can stand up and really pedal. 4. A wide variety of hand positions; on the cork, just in front over the brakes, on the tape in front of the cork, or for more areo on the curves and just to the left and right of the stem. 5. Breaking is more positive for me as well. 6. The nature of my riding changed. I had more fun with the Albs. Was it riding something new or the position? Time will tell.

Andy. Thanks for the kind words. As far as bars go if I had the bikes you speak of I'm sure I'd love up right bars on a cargo or strictly city bicycle.

Re: [RBW] Re: Love the Drops.
Patrick, Yes, that essentially describes my set up and why my drops feel so good. When I sit up hands on top of the bar I sit fairly upright so I get the best of both. When riding a carbon race bike I could only stand being in the drops for a really brief period. What Steven described would probably have me going to an albatross bar. Even as I like my current position it's still not completely upright so if I had neck pain I would have to concede and discard the noodles. ~Hugh On Thu, Aug 15, 2013 at 10:11 AM, Patrick Moore bertin...@gmail.com wrote: Would raising them significantly make them work? Don't suppose this hasn't occurred to you, but it does allow me to mention that after replacing the Midge bar on the Fargo with a much narrower but much deeper drop 44 cm B 135, I found that placing the bar about 1 above the saddle -- 2 higher than on my road bikes -- but further forward made it wonderfully comfortable. I can get a low, aero tuck in the hooks but sit up practically straight on the flats.

Re: [RBW] Re: Jamboree, China Camp

Re: [RBW] Re: LA Bump Ride.
Thanks Deacon...not that I want to experience the city environs often but you work with what you have. I find the city has much to offer but of course I'd choose 9 times out of 10 to spend time in locals such as yours. IMHO the bicycle is a magical way to transport one self through all sorts of surroundings. ~Hugh Hugh Sunland, Ca On Sun, Sep 15, 2013 at 9:51 AM, Deacon Patrick lamontg...@mac.com wrote: I love bikes!

Hey SoCal Rivsters, Figured I'd update the poll and firm up the ride specifics. The poll is done and the winner is the 28th. Here is the ride thanks to Cyclotourist: http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/Santa-Monica-Dirt-Mulolland-ride# As far as a place to eat I submit this casual establishment it would be a back track of 1.5 miles but the total ride is a mere 27 odd miles so I don't see a down side. http://reelinnmalibu.com/menu.php Parking will be a challenge so I suggest we get there early, I think this lot will serve us well. Can we meet at 8:30 am? Or shall we chance it and keep the meet up @ 9 am. Lot 10 North 445 E Pacific Coast Hwy. Santa Monica, Ca 162 spaces The information from Santa Monica City is confusing I found this PDF with locations and cost whether it's up to date is a guess but from this it appears that the cost is $7 for the day which you pay at a kiosk. http://theartofsexualintimacy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Parking_Brochure.pdf The Address above originally if searched showed you a location South of Santa Monica??

If you're going up Westridge, another option would be to meet at Peet's at the corner of San Vicente and Gorham in Brentwood. That's all City of LA street parking around there and might be more forgiving than Santa Monica. Then you'd ride San Vicente a few blocks west to Burlingame, to a short descent down Sunset Blvd. to Mandeville Canyon and then up Westridge. Gets you into the nice stuff pretty quickly. Coming back to your cars up San Vicente from the PCH is good because there's a great bike lane on San Vicente.

Re: [RBW] Re: ISO 26 Tour Wheelset.
Bryan, I'm picking up a 56 cm Atlantis from Seattle and plan on doing some updates to the drive and toying with the idea of Albastashes. I'd like it set up for touring and rough stuff with it's capacity for fat tires. Then the AHH can be dedicated to more light weight duty. ~Hugh On Wed, Sep 25, 2013 at 9:02 AM, Bryan bwedg...@gmail.com wrote: 26 touring wheels? What are you brewing up, Hugh?

Or you were deciding to upgrade to a White Industries or Phil set. Also looking for 9 speed bar end sifters. Figured I'd cast a line and see what came back. ~Hugh -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Tom, I just didn't want you to forget my Wife's Betty :-) Though I can ride it as it's a 55 cm out of respect I''m giving letting my wife have Betty to her self. And yes I think the stable is going nicely...but this will be it for a good while, no more acquisitions unless of course the deal of the century plops in my lap like a QB :-0 Best, Hugh Sunland, Ca On Wed, Sep 25, 2013 at 8:12 PM, Tom Virgil tevir...@gmail.com wrote: If you are going to tell me that you ride Betty Foy and it is not your wife's bike, I am going to be really impressed.

Re: [RBW] Re: FS B17 Special honey/copper
Interesting note, I had a Brooks tan B17 13 to 15 years ago and didn't have the patients for it to supposedly break in and sold it, then tried one again this year on my AHH with padded underwear, comfortable but when I took the suggestion to discard the padded underwear and just wear the Devold or like wool underwear the Brooks amazingly was even more comfortable.

The wheels are XT hubs (old kind) laced to Mavic A119 rims in silver 36 spoke front/rear, shod with Panaracer Paselas 37mm. The frame is in good condition, but with a number of chips in the paint (please take a look at the photos: https://plus.google.com/100421127368153243355/posts/HptKpf6MECa). The wheels and tires are still in great shape. I used this as a commuter and enjoyed it a lot, but having a pbh of 89cm and being between the old SH sizes I always felt this frame size was a bit much for me. I carried my workbag up front in a basket and actually liked the handling more that way than having the load on the top rack at back. I live in the East Bay and after oggling for a while I finally pulled the trigger on a Box Dog Pelican. I am a one bike guy and wanted to give something else a try. I am asking $850.
