Looking to see if anyone has a cheviot 55cm they wanted to part with. Will 
probably call Riv in a couple of days if nothing turns up.

Agreed, I'll have to wait to see if they are just selling framesets. I'm 
also not too big a fan of the Hillborne blue color. The $400 off is very 
tempting though...

Really liking the look of this bike, It's got me considering selling my 
Atlantis, but I certainly don't want the stock build. I would likely 
transfer all the parts from my Atlantis to a Japaloosa. The bar looks like 
it would be stiff and comfortable but it's ugly as hell...

did you notice the length of the top tube? this frame has upright, swept

I think the complete bike is a great deal.  The only parts I can't live 
with are the brakes, but that's an easy swap. I'd have to try that 
handlebar, too. Not sure about that.

The wheelsets are the achilles heel of complete bike builds but these have 
the Silver hubs, both 36h.  That's a great thing.

If a "Giant" Joe Appaloosa came out for 97+PBH I would be an early adopter for 
sure.  That price point is a screaming deal even leaving wiggle room for 
personal preferences like brakes, dyno, or cockpit.  

Blue would not be my first choice but never a deal breaker from my perspective. 
 RWH is like 19 for 21 with color choices in single color models in my opinion.

Thanks; interesting comparison. I've used old AWs before and, except for

Me too.  I had the Bosco Bullmoose on my QB but took them off...just too 
much rise for the already tall front end, and had discovered that 
(standard) boscos worked better with my Trucker anyways.  Since then I've 
tried a number of bar configurations on the QB but nothing really gelled. 
 This thing looks awesome...everything I loved about the Bosco Bullmoose 
but in lower rise.  As long as the width is sufficient (at least 58cm,

Re: [RBW] Re: Bleriot with Middle Ear Problem?

2015-10-29 Thread Eric Norris
Kevin:

It’s probably not the cause of your issues, but I’ve found that large tires (I 
run 42mm Grand Bois on my Bleriot) suffer from reduced side-to-side stability, 
particularly at lower pressures. Larger tires with supple casings and low 
pressures allow the rim to move from side to side with respect to the contact 
patch, which makes the bike feel less stable.

More than once, I’ve looked down at my rear tire to see if the “squirmy” 
feeling was being caused by a slow leak, only to confirm that the tire was OK. 
In fact, I spent the better part of Day One of PBP thinking that the 28mm 
“supple” rear tire was going flat (it wasn’t).

[RBW] Re: Joe Appaloosa geometry

2015-10-29 Thread iamkeith
This is my *dream* handlebar too!!  Basically a similar function to a 
moustache bar, but with the primary hand position (the one with access to 
the brake levers) being the closer, more upright one.  That's where I need 
the brakes, because that's where my hands are when I'm riding slow or in 
town or in stop-and-go situations.  The lower/aero/tuck position doesn't 
need brakes nearly as often, the way I use it - on the open road.

I tried a Civia Aldrich bar which was "sort" of similar and came in 
different widths and different splay angles, but all were too narrow and 
too small in the grip area:

http://www.cambriabike.com/Civia-Aldrich-Cruiser-MultiPosition-Handlebars-ALDRICHBAR70DEGSIL.asp

Nitto makes a similar shape too, but they're even narrower: 

https://www.benscycle.com/p-1277-nitto-promenade-b601-aluminum-handlebars.aspx

The problem is that widening any bar with this shape, or making the grips 
longer, just adds leverage and makes it easier to inadvertently rotate it 
in the stem clamp.  ( I have had that problem with my non-bullmoose bosco, 
even with a good quality stem.) These new bars, with the bull-moose stem, 
seem to solve both problems.  Nice amount of rise, too!  I prefer to get 
low by stretching out further - not by contorting my back and reaching down 
to the bars.

I too hope these are available aftermarket/individually, and SOON!

[RBW] For Sale Rohloff-Veloctiy Chukker-DT wheel built by RBW's Rich Lesnick

2015-10-29 Thread 'Mojo' via RBW Owners Bunch
This is a 559/26 inch wheel. There is detailed information attached to each 
photo here 
https://www.flickr.com/photos/79695460@N00/albums/72157658172531243  
Price is $1000 shipped to the CONUS.

I bought this wheel from a list member for the same price. It did not work 
in my AllRounder frame with 132mm rear spacing, so I have not ridden it. I 
bought new cables and housing, new cable clips (for routing along frame 
tubes), and cable guides via the brake boss (it already had cable guides 
via the chainstay). I have printed out the owner's manual and mounting 
instructions. I believe I have everything you would need to mount this hub 
on any rim braked, 135mm spaced bike. There is some beausage, light 
scratches on the rim. The wheel is tight and true. 

Please contact me off list.
Thanks. 
Joe in western Colorado

Not a silly question at all, but, no, the tire pressure is fine.  I had

It had occurred to me, too, that the frame might be cracked, but a quick

Re: [RBW] Re: Clems have shipped!

2015-10-29 Thread Zed Martinez
If you haven't encountered rinko before, it's a pretty cool thing. Doubt 
it'll ever be quite so useful in the US, but heck, I had still planned to 
upgrade to a rinko headset on my Clem anyway, so this was perfect. The 
basic idea is to make a bike that can quickly be broken down to fit in a 
special bag to carry on the trains. The headset uses semi-sealed bearings 
so you can take the whole fork out for that process without losing them or 
having to spend forever at the end readjusting it. There's a lot about it 
online, but a decent overview of the practice if not this specific style of 
headset is this one from 
BQ: http://www.bikequarterly.com/images/BQ_rinko.pdf

Re: [RBW] Re: Bleriot with Middle Ear Problem?

2015-10-29 Thread Kevin Lindsey
Eric -
I checked both tires' pressure, thinking maybe the problem was linked to 
them, but nada.  I've had these tires at these pressures for a couple of 
thousand miles now, and know their feel pretty well; this was definitely 
something different.  
If it helps at all, I lowered the handlebars about a half inch the night 
before.  I can't see where that would have an effect on the handling, but 
bike balance can be a touchy thing, and I suppose it's possible that the 
slight change in center of gravity or handling might have made a difference.

[RBW] Re: Joe Appaloosa geometry

2015-10-29 Thread Shoji Takahashi
Pics of the Appaloosa on the Blug are terrific. I'm looking forward to the 
pics of the new fork crown built up. (BTW-- looks like the "fix" to the 
fork crown was to eliminate the windows facing the midline. 
see 
http://rivbike.tumblr.com/post/123735570644/more-on-the-crown-in-the-post-below-this-ungrant)

Question:
What are group members' thoughts on how Appaloosa compares to Cheviot, the 
first mainstream available long-chainstay Riv? 

Having a Hunqapillar and AHH in the stable, it seems like Appaloosa might 
be too much overlap. The Cheviot is distinctly different as a mixte, and 
bonus has the long stays. But the presale price, fork crown, head badge, 
choco-moose bars... that's a tough bike to love (or was that another bike?) 
:)

[RBW] Re: Joe Appaloosa geometry

2015-10-29 Thread Bill Lindsay
I think Shoji's Hunqapillar and the Joe Appaloosa have a lot of overlap. 
 The Appaloosa would be awesome for me because I sold my Bombadil to 
finance a Mountain Bike, and because I don't own a Hunqapillar.  

Comparing the Cheviut to the Appaloosa, I slightly prefer 
cantilever/V-brakes for huge tires.  
Comparing my 58 Atlantis to the Appaloosa, one of the only tiny gripes I 
have with my Atlantis is TCO (toe-clip-overlap).  Grant never used to use 
"front center" measurements in his geo-charts, but with swept back bars and 
long stays, you can stretch the top tube way out and get a longer front 
center, and eliminate TCO.  Some will then hate that they can't run drop 
bars on these bikes, because the top tube is too long.  I'm going to 
measure the front center on my Atlantis, and compare it to the 627.4mm of a 
58 Appaloosa.  No TCO would be a draw.  Low-trail bikes eliminate TCO with 
650B wheels and/or a ton of fork rake.

Re: [RBW] Re: Joe Appaloosa geometry

2015-10-29 Thread James Warren
These are exactly my questions as well. I'm pretty set on what I have. Hunq (Bosco with 14 cm Ritchey stem, big dirt tires), Hillborne (classic Albatross, Barlow Pass fasties), and Atlantis (classic Albatross, 50 mm tires and fenders) trade off almost all of the duties on my favorite riding. (The drop bar bikes are seeing less time as well as the dedicated mountain bike.) I don't see the Appaloosa adding much beyond what these three amazing bikes already offer, but I am curious enough to comment about the longer chainstays:While I've had many extended periods of fun on the Atlantis in touring mode with drop bars and its 45.5 cm chainstays, I don't think I would consider putting drop bars on a bike with 53.5 mm chainstays like the Joe Appaloosa. I buy the argument that the super long chainstay design is best suited to bikes with upright bars like the Bosco and Albatross, because these bars shift the center of mass (of the rider/bike system) rearward. This makes me think of it as a bike that is different from the Atlantis and Hillborne in a fairly substantial way. I'd go back to drop bars on those, but not on a Joe Appaloosa. (The numbers above refer to my Atantis, which was made before they lengthened the chainstays a couple years ago. They used to be 45.5 cm in my size, and now they are 47 cm.)Superficial Sidenote: I love the Hillborne blue, but I pictured the Joe Appaloosa as a dark red frame. For some reason, that's the color it's supposed to be in my mind. I don't know why.-Jim W.-Original Message-
From: Shoji Takahashi 
 Having a Hunqapillar and AHH in the stable, it seems like Appaloosa might be too much overlap. The Cheviot is distinctly different as a mixte, and bonus has the long stays. But the presale price, fork crown, head badge, choco-moose bars... that's a tough bike to love (or was that another bike?) :)

[RBW] Pineapple Bob (Robert Kurosawa) in Velominati

2015-10-29 Thread Paul G
Velominati, a website and rule book, isn't the sort of reading that many 
Rivendell riders peruse. If you don't know what it is, it's basically a 
satirical list of cycling Rules, DO's and DON'Ts with the ideal being road 
racing from the distant and recent past. In almost all ways, it's 
diametrically opposed to Grant's *Just Ride*.

Despite all that, Riv staff member, Robert Kurosawa, A.K.A. Pineapple Bob 
in old Bridgestone catalogs from the Grant era, was featured in a 
Velominati post!

Amusing!

[RBW] Re: Joe Appaloosa geometry

2015-10-29 Thread iamkeith
Comparing it to the Hunqapillar and Atlantis,  the most interesting thing 
about the Appaloosa geometry to me is that it appears to be intended for 
use with a smaller maximum tire size.  Perhaps this suggests that it 
is slated to be even more of a touring-specific bike, than the jack-of-many 
trades bike that the other two are?  The Hunqapillar says 60mm (2.4") max, 
while the Atlantis and Appaloosa both say 55mm (2") max.  We know, of 
course that people successfully run 2.5" even on the Atlantis - but it 
shares the same, huge, 80mm bottom bracket drop that the Hunqapillar has 
(or vice versa).The drop on the Appaloosa, on the other hand, is 2 to 3 
cm less, so it sits  higher.  

So even if you could squeeze a bigger-than-rated tire in there, it's going 
to raise the center of gravity and the top tube as well.  As a 
mountain bike, this might actually be better, but the sizing would 
effectively run a little larger.  As a touring bike, a taller tire would 
seem to reduce stability - but maybe the longer chainstays compensate?  

Either way, it seems to be a bit of a departure from existing Rivendell 
philosophy, where even the recent Clem has the same drop as the Atlantis 
and Hunqapillar.  Kind of curious too, given the fact that  most of us tend 
to try to squeeze in the biggest tire we can fit, and that fatter tires are 
becoming available regularly.

[RBW] Re: Rohloff IGH Questions

2015-10-29 Thread ctbiker


I’ll jump into the Rohloff discussion with a few of my data points:


I have two Dean bikes with Rohloffs, a mtb and a randonneur. My mtb is a 
29er and weighs 36# with dual suspension and S couplers while my rando 
weighs 31# with fenders over 32mm tires, dyno hub, S couplers and f/r 
lights. 


As has been mentioned, the Rohloff hub has a 526% overall range of gears, 
which means gear #14 is 5.26 times greater than gear #1. The hub gearing 
has 14 equally spaced gears of about 13% gain/loss between shifts. Gear # 
11 is the straight, unaltered gear with all others mechanically geared up 
or down. Gearing depends on wheel size, front chainring and rear cog. 


I just finished an offroad tour in Utah with Adventure Cycling and was very 
happy with the performance of my Rohloff. My mtb gearing is at the highest 
ratio Rohloff recommends with its 17 tooth rear cog with 32 tooth 
chainring. That’s 15 gear inches, equivalent to a derailleured bike with 
22t chainring and 42t rear cog.  If I understand it correctly, Rohloff 
claims using a smaller chainring or larger rear cog would overstrain the 
hub.


My Dean Randonneur came with 48t chainring and 16t cog. That gave a gear 
range of about 23 to 119 gear inches. That’s too high for me so I changed 
to a 39t chainring giving me18 to 96 gear inches. I rode this bike on my 
End-to-End in (very) hilly UK and loved its low end. I couldn’t keep up 
with my fellow riders in most places, but I often beat them up long, steep 
hills. 


As far as riding with a Rohloff, my experience is that it’s great if you’re 
riding with slower riders or by yourself but, if fellow riders are equally 
strong and on light bikes, you’ll soon be off the back or straining to keep 
pace.


Rohloff claims a 1000km break-in period, after which shifting effort and 
noise should be reduced.


For some Rohloff pros/cons from an expert, see 
http://www.sheldonbrown.com/harris/rohloff-impressions.html


It’s been reported that Rohloffs never break down. Sarah Outen is presently 
finishing her round-the-earth human powered journey. She has biked, kayaked 
and rowed her way for over 25,000 miles. She chose a Rohloff for its 
reputed robustness but ”…we noticed that the phlange of the Rohloff hub 
(the centre barrell of the wheel which houses the gearing mechanism) had 
cracked in two places and would be causing bigger issues in time. 
...Hercules (her name for her bike), [after being worked on by a 
professional mechanic] is [now] doing well and his rear wheel should last 
until we reach Winnipeg and meet up with the replacement Rohloff hub, 
kindly provided by Santos bikes in the Netherlands." So they DO break.


During my End-to-End my shifter cable started disintegrating rapidly. It 
jammed the twist shifter. I was able to jury rig another cable but it was 
not optimum. I’d recommend for anyone traveling away from expert wrenching 
to replace their own cables before starting. Not only would you know you 
had good cables but you’d also learn the intricacies of the unintuitive 
cabling scenario.

I don't think it's the Clem owners who should have any regrets, it's the 
Bomba and Hunq owners. That Joe is about half their price? This Joe 
could have an impact on the Riv resale market. I was convinced a Clem was 
better than my 80's mountain bikes, (IT"S WAY BETTER), now couldn't a brand

Mark, my PBH is 86. I ride 23" mountain bikes. I prefer riding a larger bike. 
The downside being That they have a 180 crank. I did the Sheldon Brown crank 
calc once and it came up 172.5. I think that's what is on my medium Clem. So I 
set the seat at 28" like my other bikes, and that was too low. Moved it up and 
that somehow lowered me into the bike. I've had a custom fit bike, and I'd 
totally forgotten how that felt until I got this one dialed in. It's my first 
new bike in 30 years. I think it's going to be a classic. I can't wait to see 
some pictures, better pictures, my photography is weak.
