[RBW] Re: Billie Bar Double Up lever‽

[Kainalu V.]

No, but I suppose braking produces more torque than shifting, what with big 
levers vs small levers, so shifting/Yes braking/no. Could be that it would be 
fine, like a twelver on a Mark's rack, but is not to be endorsed for 
liability's sake.

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

[Kainalu V.]

As long as they're somehow packaged together, as opposed to loose brews in 
a tray, nothing's better than bungees if you don't want extra stuff 
(besides bungees which you'll never notice when properly stowed). It takes 
time, but if you strategically sew up your load with bungee cords you can 
get a lot of control with minimal overhead/undertush. And every once in a 
while when you see someone struggling with an unsecured load on a bike that 
should otherwise be able to handle it, give them a bungee and change their 
lives?
Bungees. yesterday, today, and forever

I think I've got a pretty nice Nitto S65 Crystal Fellow in 27.2 somewhere

[RBW] Re: Bullmoose Bars - Your Experiences?

[Kainalu V.]

Adjustability proves nothing is perfect. That Bullmoose aren't proves something 
else? Maybe akin to blind faith in an infallible supreme being? Or that close 
enough is as good as it gets? Or that everything else is so I don't have to be? 
Whatever it is, it's worked for me. I've had them on multiple quickbeams and 
have loved them, much of that love due to their lack of adjustability and the 
resulting squash of the dreaded "hand wringing" over it's not perfect enough. 
As Garth might say, put your hands on it and pedal!, it'll be fine. And as Joe 
has noted, ergon grips are goodness.

[RBW] Re: WTB: Hillborne in Sage Color, 62cm or 64cm

[Kainalu V.]

When I got my Hillborne, the 64 was the only one made in Wisconsin. I think 
they all were cantilever ready, probably could've gotten it without. And at 95 
PBH, I'd say you should be taking aim at the 64. I was at the very top of the 
range and it was a bit small, would've been perfect for me with some drop bars. 
For you, I think you'd find it accommodating to most anything. As for finding 
one, hang out on the bridges and you might get lucky!

[RBW] Bar-end brake levers on Albastache?

[Kainalu V.]

The only thing that makes me nervous about reverse brake levers is the horrid 
bushwacking hook where the lever acts to hook a branch rather than deflect it, 
but if you don't find yourself on tightly shrubbed trails, I think there is no 
better lever. And if you pair them with interrupter levers way out front you'd 
be giving yourself a quick brake option at any point along that sweet 
albastache curve.

[RBW] WTB- 9 speed indexed bar end shifter

[Kainalu V.]

Hi rivlisters,
I'm looking to buy some indexed 9 speed bar end shifters, Shimano or the 
equivalent. 
Ugly but functional is good with me, though pretty and functional is good 
too. 
And if you only want to sell the right (indexed) side? Great!
Please email off list to kaivierstra at gmail .com
Thanks

[RBW] Re: Glue for headbadge?

[Kainalu V.]

Use some silcone, or shoe goo, whatever you've got around. And if you're 
not wanting to make a mess, mask off the edges with blue painters tape 
first, blob in the glue, press it so it oozes out the edge a bit, wipe the 
ooze clear, then peel the tape for a clean edge (while the glue's still 
liquid)
Good Luck!

[RBW] Re: Silver 2 thumb shifters on the Blahg

[Kainalu V.]

I can't see the picture either, and I'm getting tired of signing out and in 
again, but what struck me from what I've seen in the past is that the 
shifter mount might allow for some rotation. This would be a great 
ergonomic leap for bikekind. The Sturmey-Archer mounts do it to an extent, 
but they kinda stink outside of that.
Hope that happens

[RBW] Re: WTB: Binder bolt

[Kainalu V.]

Everybody, get a hacksaw, and even more importantly, get a file. It's never 
enough to just cut it and back the nut out to clean the threads, what 
you're left with is a sharp edged bolt that's hard as heck to thread back 
into your nut. if you file a little bevel onto the cut end of the bolt 
after cutting and before backing the nut off to clean the threads, you'll 
have a good looking bolt that's easy to use. 
Note: do your cutting and filing with your bolt in a vice or vice grip 
pliers (buy some if you don't already have them). Not with the bolt in your 
bike.

[RBW] Re: Rear racks for kid seats

[Kainalu V.]

Yepp makes a rear rack that works with their seat, and it's bombproof. They 
also make an adapter that can be fitted to a tubus rack, this is probably 
what makes Tubus nervous about saying you could put a kid back there, they 
have to trust everyones ability to mount an adapter securely. The dedicated 
Yepp rack will make the seat slightly lower profile, making it that 1.5" 
more stable. And yes, Yepp seats are the best.

Here's a link to the Yepp 
rack-

[RBW] Rear racks for kid seats

[Kainalu V.]

Having used the Yepp rack for years now, I declare that the only drawbacks are 
weight and that there's no pannier rails other than the grossly oversized top 
rail, which would work fine with strap on panniers. I brazed on some lower 
rails to get past the no pannier drawback (and made it even heavier!). The 
weight thing is so they, unlike Tubus or Nitto, can proudly say to go ahead and 
put your kid on this. The seat attachment system is quick and secure. In my 
opinion, if anyone's got major issues they want to complain about on the 
internet regarding these ugly, heavy, beautifully designed racks, their 
problems likely extend well beyond bike parts. Buy with confidence.

[RBW] Medium saddle sack vs bagboy

[Kainalu V.]

The medium seems not quite twice the size of the bagboy, but close. I have a 
kangaroo pouch from my medium I put on the bagboy, it's an essential addition 
to the bagboy, sometimes I leave it off the medium as it's got the side 
pockets. Both great bags, I do like the single strap closure on the bagboy. 
Might be worthwhile waiting to see the new medium bag that'll be hitting the 
shelves soon, the happibag I think?

Lucky for Lambbo, he's got a spare fork that we'll be able to fire at,

cantis to the tail end of cheviots and step throughs of all kinds, yeah,

offset posts, should've mentioned that earlier before the order went in, 
could be we'll be doing some semi-precision filing!...

My Rosco Mountain Mixte is very much like a canti-cheviot. It's the bees 
knees! With patience, you could pick one up used, probably in mint 
condition with worn pads.

[RBW] Children, check your tread

[Kainalu V.]

So how far beyond the little nubs of the 2.35" G-ones do you suppose is safe? 
My center nubs have recently disappeared, am I close to some serious orange 
seal fountaining? I had a fun experience back in the cold days of winter when I 
forgot my lock and had to bring my bike in from the cold at work. I was sipping 
my coffee looking at my bike when, after an hour or so in the warmth, I watched 
two separate streams shoot off of my tires at once. Luckily the polished 
concrete floor was the only victim of the streams and was easy to clean up. 
Watch your temperatures!, keep your cold tires cold! And your cold tubes cold 
too! But, back to my initial thought/question, will you ride your tubeless big 
ones down to their fibrous core? Or are they too scary once they're denubbed? 
(I'm only smooth in the back)

[RBW] Which tire (and can I get by without sealant?) for AZ road/dirt

[Kainalu V.]

Sealant rules everwhere. You're putting sealant in a deflated tube, yes? And 
removing the valve core when you do? I've been having good luck with the 
clogging problem by giving the valves a shot of boeshield before I replace 
them. I ride in NYC everyday which, while not being filled with goatheads, is 
pretty hard on tires. I run Schwalbe Big Ones tubeless on bike A with 
occasional refills of sealant. Bike B's got Thunder Burts with sealant in tubes 
and they've been absolutely trouble free for months. Before sealant I was 
plagued with flats, now it's a memory. 
Enjoy goathead country!

[RBW] Re: Your favorite Rivendell?

[Kainalu V.]

After a 64 Hillborne, (only)two 68 Quickbeams, a 65 Clem H, a Will's Mountain 
Mixte, and a Hubbuhubbuh. The Beams were super, the Clem does whatever I want 
it to, the Hillborne was the first bike that fit, and the tandem is too fresh 
to judge. But the mixte?, that bike rules. Had to do some filing to get the 
chain to stop pinching between the cassette and somewhat low hourglass 
braze-on, and the blue took awhile before I loved it (I do!), but that bike 
gives me great joy. With it's step throughness, it looks slow and relaxed, 
which makes it more of a kick when it's not being slow and relaxed, and makes 
slow and relaxed that much more so. Love love love that bike...

[RBW] WTT :: 68cm Quickbeam for Huge Rosco Mixte

[Kainalu V.]

The huge Rosco is an amazing bike, as is a 68 Quickbeam, best of luck finding a 
trade. Curious how you feel about the big Clem low, not that I've got one to 
trade, but what makes you want the Rosco step through specifically? I've got a 
65 Clem high and the Rosco, I take my kids on both. The Rosco can do anything, 
there's no argument that it's the greatest bike ever made for us upper 
outliers. It's good looking and better riding. But, for kid hauling 
specifically, the Clem's even longer wheelbase is phenomenal. So my advice (not 
that you're asking) is get that Rosco!, but should that not work out, the 
Clem's there waiting. 
Parenting rules! Enjoy.

And another potential wrench- I heard a rumor that Weigle's framesaver is

wake I never questioned the rumor or it's effectiveness as a framesaver. That 
said, I still opt for Weigle's when it's a available option.

You have the clearance, but do you want to use it is the question, and a good 
one. The taller your wheel gets, the more it affects steering and general

[RBW] Re: Generations of Clems

[Kainalu V.]

The first and only generation of 65 Clems had straight seat stays because (I 
believe) they were the frame that was intended for the surplus of seat lug 
castings that were the original push to produce the frame in the first place. 
The curved seat stays were a work around to accommodate the smaller Clems use 
of that gargantuan seat lug. 
So it stands to reason that the 65 Clem H is the one true Clem! With the 
assumption being that I've got my story straight..

[Kainalu V.]

The tubus clamps are a great option. Use some gaffers tape and the provided 
rubber shim and no harm will come to your fork, guaranteed.

[RBW] Hubbuhubbuh Tandem, large WIP

[Kainalu V.]

Not quite ready for prime time here with this tandem, and my smarter, 
better, more sane half has "no way, no how'd" it after submitting to a 
block long test run. I'm hoping to dial it in a bit and try for a redo 
soon, maybe get the stoker bars a little forward would do it. I put the 
shifters on the back bars to stoke the stoker with the power to shift, and 
it's easy enough to shift "suicide" style if I'm solo, likely I'll be 
moving the shifters to the front soon enough. Maybe I'll ride in back 
(she's 5'8" and I'm a foot taller. Bad idea?), regardless, the kids are 
growing quick and'll be reaching those pedals soon enough. I've also got 
some clamp on cranks I picked up off the list that I might set up to get 
them stoking sooner, but it only looks to be a year or so away that my 
oldest will be able to touch down on those pedals, so probably not. 
Anyhows, here's some pictures. Those are 2.35" 650b G-ones with plenty of 
room to spare, and the head badges came off of some decommissioned beamers. 
It's been said there'll be hubbuh badges coming along eventually, but I 
really like the beams riding along with me/us, but if the kids end up 
sharing their mother's concerns it'd probably be best to have those badge 
options available in the event of a sad sale. 
The build is--
40 hole Velocity Cliffhangers front and rear on a velocity rear hub and SON 
front dyno hub. 
Schwalbe 2.35 G-ones, set up tubeless
Silver cranks, 178mm front, 170 rear
Deore derailers shifted with some old stem mount Suntour friction shifters. 
Front's just a chain guide right now...
Brooklyn Bikes bar in the rear, flipped albas up front (to get slightly 
lower, giving the stoker a better view?)
VP pedals, comfy out back, spikey up front
and Brooks saddle (b68 front, b17s back)

Saddle height's somewhere in the low to mid 80's in the picture, a little 
low for me but good for getting both feet down if and when needed.
Can't wait to put some miles on it

Patch, I'll be doing solo trips from Northern Brooklyn to the UWS, if you see 
me, hop on! 
And thank you Julian! I had the extendo stem maxed for the kid (just for a test 
sit, no rolling), and I never set it back to typical adult size for that ill 
fated test ride, my mistake. I'll be watching for the perfect moment to ask for 
a retest.

[RBW] pinching fenders and Quickbeam clearances

[Kainalu V.]

I ran fenders on my quickbeams no problem, but it looked pretty ugly. I used 
sks with the quick releases front and back to facilitate wheel removal and 
general safety. When I upped the tire size I just split the fenders and 
bracketed them so that there was no actual fender between the frame and tire. 
Only an inch or so of space for goop to fly through. I've got a pile of 
butchered plastics you're welcome to pick through, and some honjos you could 
have for cheap (but they wouldn't clear 38s (and they're horribly oxidized!))

[RBW] Re: What frame and build set make you a safer, slower rider?

[Kainalu V.]

Ron and Patrick- When I was a kid my dad (a physicist who worked as an engineer 
for M.I.T.'s Lincoln Laboratory for 50 years) told me to watch closely how my 
pinewood derby car acted during the big race. He explained before hand that my 
car, with it's weight pushed as far back as we could get it, would be behind 
the pack at the bottom of the ramp but would certainly win on the flat. It did 
every time and I walked away with the victory that day. So yes, weight forward 
or centered wins on the downhill, but if you want to have an easy fast coast 
through the flats you want that weight out back. A pannier system that 
relocated the load depending on level would be nice, but way off topic... 
As far as the topic is concerned, what Mark said about mixtes and keeping with 
the flow of traffic is spot on.

[RBW] U locks and Pitlocks

[Kainalu V.]

Here in NYC I use a small U-lock around the frame to the bike rack or post with 
a fairly heavy cable running from my front wheel, through my seat rail, down 
through the rear wheel, terminating at the U-lock. 
Someone could clip the cable, but then they'd be faced with removing the parts 
they want from the frame which is still firmly affixed to whatever.
Further tips- make sure whatever you're locking to is actually stable, many 
sign posts pull right out like golf flags. And huge huge hugest tip- use the 
cable to keep your bike from falling over. I've seen countless beautiful bikes 
stomped flat to the ground by enraged thieves or drunken hooligans, or drunken 
thieves. "If you can't steal it, at least destroy it" is their mantra.

Re: [RBW] Huge Rosco Mixte

[Kainalu V.]

The step through really shines if and when you're using a rear seat, but 
out of the seat pedal mashing with the rear childed Monster Rosco is 
unadvisable. Out of the saddle pedal stompage is unadvisable with a kid out 
back on a 65 Clem H as well, but considerably less unadvisable than with a 
wriggley mixte. And that's not to say that the Rosco is wriggley by any 
means!, just when compared to the Clem,..

Will gave you good advice, the cliffhangers are fantastic, so very tough. Are

[RBW] Billie Bar Double Up lever‽

[Kainalu V.]

The Billie bars look like good candidates for doubling up on brake levers, with 
reverse brake levers in the ends and interrupters up front. That would leave 
you with a huge chunk of uninterrupted bar that's always within finger shot of 
a lever. I did it once with albatross bars but didn't need that much lever 
coverage, but those billies are hge! Looks dorky, yes., but no? Hope 
somebody tries it out.
