I did this ride in October 2016. It was great. Like other people have
suggested, I'd recommend a few detours. If you have the time and the
inclination for a lot more climbing than "necessary", there are a lot of
good side routes to pick and choose from.
You could start by picking and choosing

In my experience, a well built 32h wheel is just fine for
everything...Mountian Bikes have 32 holes these days.
You can get a new XT deore rim brake hub for $42, which should last as long
as anything else.
The Velocity Quill is a great road rim if you're running wider tires than
35's, the A23
Gravelkings are $50 and Analog has nothing but good things to say...just
ordered some because I kept blowing through my Compass tires.

I have the whole shebang (nitto mini, hub area no hoops, sackville bags,
basket, and custom basket bag) for sale over on the ibob group. with
Rivendell's CONSERVATIVE weight rating you could put 18.5 lbs on your front
end with that.

I've used the cheap Banjo Brothers' canvas panniers on an old Blackburn
FL-1 with moderate success (in a similar SoCal riding, scenario) but I'm
following this post hoping to get some suggestions
The Swift Jr Rangers look amazing but they're pretty expensive for my
budget.
On Friday,
Does it click when the wheel is off the frame/in a stand?
Have you ruled out something silly like a cable/shoelace/zip tie hitting a
spoke/part of the wheel?
Does the click "ring out," like plucking a string, or is it more
dead-sounding? Can you describe the click in more detail?

So a mini-review:
I got a cheap ($35) 100% merino wool TShirt from Amazon from a place
called WoolX. I was skeptical but it was cheap so I figured I'd take the
risk. When I opened it, it felt a little scratchy, so I wrote them and
asked if it would soften up, but that I was afraid to wear it

I'm interesting in trying cloth, but my intuition says that for long
rides/tours there wouldn't be enough cushion or vibration dampening. Is
that crazy talk? Do people use cloth for long rides?

I'm looking to buy (on list or off) a wool T shirt/Jersey/Other to use in
conjunction with another wool t shirt that I already have on a 10 day tour.
Anyone have any favorites? I like the idea of the pockets in a Jersey, but
they're expensive and I don't like the idea of wearing a "jersey" ;-)

You guys are all the best and very helpful.
I realize it sounds a little silly, but yes, the bottom line is, I want a
touring bike with centerpull posts.
I just like them, and I like the idea of them. I ride 28's now, which seem
wide (I know, I know, I'm working my way up), so 38's sound
Hey guys--looking at a future dream bike, and since I'm dreaming, I might
as well dream.
I want a Rivendell bike that I can use for touring, don't want to pay for a
full custom job, and I want center-pull braze-ons (I am flexible in
real-life, but since this is a dream...indulge me)
Riv can
I find that they're helpful when touring, and I've used a wireless Cateye
Padrone for the last 400 miles. It has huge numbers and all the good
features like: time (like the actual time it is in the world), total
distance, MPH, odometer, and time elapsed. Time elapsed and odometer are
not
