[RBW] Re: Rivendell on the C Forum

[Joe Bernard]

I couldn't do it, Grant. Being a well-known figure in some circle or industry 
where people get on the internet and hash out their thoughts about me? People 
who type up elaborate jokes and then I'm supposed to be ok 'cause "it's just a 
joke" ?? NOPE. I'd be Howard Hughes locked in my room within 6 months.

[RBW] Re: Lost & found anything while riding?

[dstein]

I've lost several frame pumps (user error I'm sure). I also have several 
gloves missing their pair, somehow it ends up always being the same side so 
I can't make a pair out of the three lost gloves I have.

Butone day I was riding my Jones in China Camp in the Bay Area. I 
noticed towards the end of the ride on a paved section that my handlebar 
bag was open. Checked and my keys were in there, but not my wallet. It was 
an Ocean Air wallet that I really liked and is not easily replaceable 
depending on their stock, and I hadn't had it for very long. I was pissed. 
I don't think much money was in there, and credit cards were easily 
replaceable, but I wasn't looking forward to a trip to the DMV and dealing 
with a replacing a few other things I had, not to mention the wallet. My 
riding buddies treated me beer and a sandwich after.

I woke up the next day and for some reason thought to check the mailbox on 
a Sunday morning for my wallet, and sure enough it was there. Some kind 
stranger found my wallet on the trail and drove all the way from China Camp 
to Oakland to drop it off in the mailbox (thankfully my license had my 
current address).

You'd think I learned my lesson, but just last week I was riding and 
noticed my bag was open, then saw my phone pop right out of it, luckily I 
saw it and was able to grab it, but not before almost causing a trail 
accident from stopping so suddenly.. So if anyone wants some free shit, 
just follow me on the trail.

This is the drag of being me and I hate it. I get to fear that my hating it 
will reinforce the poster or give a loger life to it, start a discussion. I 
know some have it worse and tere are bigger problems in the world, but the 
idea that I can or should just slugh it off doesn't reconcile with who I 
am, so..arghh.

[RBW] Re: Next big ride and a 1xRoadbike

[Ty Smith]

Beautiful bike! Particularly love your harlequin bar-tape job!

 My wife/I just did traditional bar-tape with twine and shellac on my Salsa 
Casseroll the Rivendell way. We did try to match the leather trim on my 
Gilles Berthoud handlebar bag. However,  we really admire your bar-tape 
with the alternating diamond colors at the bottom.  My wife wants to do 
mine again and also use an alternating scheme to do either the same thing 
you did or similar. It's way beyond my skill, but  she's an excellent 
gift-wrapper and makes homemade ribbon bows so I think that translates well 
to wrapping bar tape.

 If not too much trouble, could you post some more pictures of your 
handlebars from some different angles?

Below is what she did for my bars. Not bad for a first attempt!

Re: [RBW] Pashley What If...

[Dave Grossman]

I have two bikes currently with drum brakes including my for sale Guv'nor 
and a Workcycles Transport Double Top Tube.  They are not hydro discs but 
nothing is.  I have XT hydros on my Jones and they are the best brakes I 
have ever used.  However, I think the drums are great.  They are impervious 
to weather, require just a bit of grease in their port, and never really 
change feel.  I would buy them over cheap discs without a doubt.  

I'm not so sure I would consider changing the wheels on the Guv.  I get the 
issue with limited tire options but the huge wheels and low trail is what 
makes the bike so magical.  It is so smooth and smaller wheels would surely 
change the feel.  I've owned a lot of 26" bikes and I have lots of love for 
them but this is a different feel altogether.  

And Patrick, I changed my name in the settings.  I belong to a number of 
cycling forums and most folks don't go by there real names but rather a 
handle.  As it seems somewhat the norm here to use names, per your 
suggestion, I have changed it up.  I've bought and sold a number of times 
on here as my handle though without anyone saying a thing.

Re: [RBW] Pashley What If...

[Patrick Moore]

You are right; thanks for pointing that out -- 635, not 630. But that
brings the 2 wheel systems very close, assuming that the 28s are really
about 38 mm wide, and the Snoqualmies really 44 mm wide: 360 for the 635 X
38s, 359 for the 622 X 44s.

Patrick, aye, but I’d love the option of a lugged 2.1” tire as that opens the 
possibility of winter riding.

Ian, aye, I have. But you add the resistance of snow to these climbs but then 
descend plowed dirt/mud road and a single gear is annoying.

With abandon,

Not with Orange Seal. I laboriously removed tire from rim after year 1, to
remove dried gunk, and found just a very thin film coating the inside of
the tire. This after replenishing every 2-3 months.

Re: [RBW] Pashley What If...

Eric, I've had drums on one bike and one recumbent trike. It's a slightly mushy 
feel at the lever that takes a little time to get used to, but they work as 
well as any rim brake I've used. As good as hydraulic discs? Nahh.

Patrick: re drum brakes: Look at this: http://www.63xc.com/dws/hubbrake.htm

Wonderful old website devoted to off road fixed gearing. I tried it and,
while uphills and flats were fine at 60 or 63 gi, downhills were horrible,
despairing sisyphusian hells with 175s. But still, much of interest, like
converting a KHS track bike to 559 X 2" with drum front.

Patrick: I have been very tempted indeed by that Guvnor that Geeter was
selling (people, puh*leeze* sign off with your real names), but no, Advent
Lent is coming up, and I'm about to toss $1,200 and change at a huge, top

But what I'd do with one of these things is swap the 28 X 1.5 (= 38 mm) for
700C by Snoqualmie Pass 44s, which per the algorithms in Jim's trail
calculator gives a wheel diameter of 718 mm, compared to a radius with the

perfect for a bike like this.

FWIW, my brother just rode over on a very nice, old Giant MTB drop bar
conversion, with Rat Trap Passes on ~ 24 mm rims; the RTPs measured a
caliper determined 48.8 mm wide and a yardstick determined 26 1/2" tall --
333 mm per Jim.

IOW, the 559 X ~50 Rat Trap Pass is just about exactly the same height as a

I was ready to poo-poo drum brakes, but a bit of reading

me at least a little intrigued. Not intrigued enough to abandon my Shimano

enough to watch someone else try them :)

Re: [RBW] Pashley What If...

Patrick, Both the Ogre and the Hunq felt like would roll over most roots
and rocks but I felt less comfortable in tighter surroundings.I also travel
and the smaller wheels  make for a smaller package.. Most of my miles these
last 10 years were on a Thorn w/26".I like that wheel size. Steve

[RBW] Re: Lost & found anything while riding?

['jinxed' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Well, my lost and found is not nearly as romantic...but sure fits the bill. 

On one of my annual rides to the in-laws for thanksgiving dinner, I lost my 
pocket knife. Most years, we've had snow, but it rarely sticks around 
because we often get the 60 degree days mixed in. This particular year 
though, we had a couple good dumps and there was plenty piled up. Right in 
the middle of a corner I heard something hit the ground and bounce a couple 
times. It took a minute for me to take stock and I could only surmise my 
15+ year old Spyderco Delica had worked out of my pocket, dropped and 
skipped off the trail into the snow. I searched for a good 30 minutes till 
my fingers were numb and gave up.

I ride to the inlaws several times a year, and every time I went through 
that corner, I slowed down like I was expecting it to just be sitting 
there. TWO years later, I was on my way back for another carb fest but this 
time the weather was nice, I was running early, and decided to stop and 
brew up coffee in my fateful turn. While I drank my cuppa, I paced back and 
forth through the brush on the sides of the trail again to no avail. So 
giving up again, I crossed to the other side of the trail that would come 
up the "inside" of the turn to walk back. And right there, in the middle of 
the turn, not 4ft off the trial, I spotted a glint of metal. No possible 
way I thought. I wear my knife in my right pocket, and this was a left 
turn...if it came out, it would surely have bounced off to the right?! I 
pushed back the tall weeds, and right there was my Spyderco. I just stood 
there looking at it, my mind trying to come up with some alternate 
explanation. It must be someone elses, I'm on prank tv, a squirrel moved 
it...what are the odds I thought. I reached down, picked it up, and looked 
at the clip. The old Delicas' clip was molded into the scales and the 
patent info raised on it. Mine was worn nearly smooth, but in the small 
recesses left, there was yellow paint imbedded from a fall and skid on some 
curb paint. I licked my thumb and wiped off the dirt, and behold the 
lo...no question, this was MY knife. I lovingly and securely stashed it 
inside my swift rando bag and carried on to a bizarrely thankful 
thanksgiving. That night after returning home, I cleaned, sharpened, and 
oiled it and finally scratched that itch in the back of my mind.

The wild thing is, this was along one of, if not THE most heavily used 
trails in colorado. The Cherry Creek Trail. I think I was more in shock 
someone else hadn't found it. Anyway, I still have it, and it's journey has 
made it even more endearing to me.

Re: [RBW] Pashley What If...

[Deacon Patrick]

Perfectly reasonable question, Joe. I get issues in two conditions, Joe. 32˚F 
to 15˚F when wet and mud from the road lands on the drive train and messes up 
the derailer, preventing use of higher gears (also freezing on the rims, making 
braking possible only after a lot of pumbing), or the same thing happening 
below zero because the chain is too stiff to make it round the smaller cogs.

All ridable, but not sustainable for doing longer rides or more frequent rides. 
In theory, this fixes both problems, but does it bring up new ones? At -20˚F 
what does the oil in a IGH do? Too stiff to ride? These are my questions. I 
know somone in the northern states had done this and had issues.

Patrick

Re: [RBW] Pashley What If...

Aside from just thinking it's a cool idea (I do, I love the drum brake/IGH 
look), would this really make a better winter bike than the current 
derailer/brakes setup? Honest question, I don't ride in the type of winter 
conditions you face.

Re: [RBW] Pashley What If...

[Deacon Patrick]

Here’s my current musing:

Hunqapillar, convert to 650b, with Sturmey Archer 5 or 8 speed IGH, drum brakes 
(which European MTB sites seem to like better than disk in some cases 
(Scotland) and dyno front hub/90mm drum brake). That addresses the handling, 
and gives all weather drivetrain and braking, using my Hunqapillar. Challenges, 
pitfalls, ideas, etc?

Hi Joe,

I eyeballed the 538's -- and may try a pair. I suspect a lot of readers 
here who bought Appa's or Clems have been running them -- I wonder how 
they've held up. Do you know if they're serviceable?

[RBW] Pashley What If...

[Ian A]

The 26" referred to on the Pashley is the old British standard and is 590BSD. 
Close to the 650b which is 584. 

It would make more sense to convert from 635bsd to 622(700c). 700 x 44 awaits 
IF the width fits.

thin AND plastic is the problem. likely plastic needs more thickness for 
strength. 

if you can get past the plastic thing some Canefield Crampon Ultimates wouöd be 
my recommendation. 

If plastic some Oddyssey Twisted are nice, but not as thin.

Thanks, Davey. That makes a whole lot of sense. 

I ended up going a different direction, thanks to an extraordinary (and totally 
unexpected) deal on a city/light cargo bike that meets all of my utilitarian

The savings were such that a second bike for recreational "needs"...the longer, 
faster weekend road rides and whatnot...is totally feasible. And easily 
justified. I'll be watching the Roadini discussions/reviews here with great

Another factor to consider, from here beyond the pale, is that winter cycling 
requires far more to keep feet warm than running in the same temps when the 
temps drom below freezing. The foot is above the ground and always subjected to 
moving air, so zero insulative factor from snow and there is alwasy wind when 
cycling, and until you get below 15˚F there is often wet — all of which 
magnifies the loss of heat from the feet.

Some general factors to keep in mind, no matter how temprate your winter:

— roomy shoes are key to increased circulation is key to keeping feet warmer.
— Keeping calves warm keeps feet warm. (I’m good in boiled wool knee socks and 
sandlas with ventile gators (block wind at calves) down to the very wet 20˚F, 
but just).
— once feet start to get cold they can decline VERY rapidly. If you can’t feel 
your toes themselves wiggle (not “I felt my foot move somewhere, so I’m good!”) 
you MUST get them inside and warm them SLOWLY. 
— The best winter system includes insulation, windblocking yet HIGHLY 
breathable, oversized for circulation.

With abandon,
Patrick

Re: [RBW] Pashley What If...

[Deacon Patrick]

Ah ha! Thanks for the catch, Steve. So that’s a 3” smaller wheel. Another error 
I made is I didn’t double the tire delta, so the diameter delta in tire is 
actually 1.6”, so while my math was confused, the concept is right because the 
two errors offset each other and the end result is close to a 700c wheel. IF I 
didn’t confuse myself even more. Sardonic grin.

Bottom line conclution is IF this is possible it suddenly makes this a very 
utilitarian bike, at least for me, with the ability to be both my winter bike 
and my go fastish adventure bike (Quickbeam with gears and even plusher tires).

[RBW] Re: What do Rivendell Riders use for minimal footwear in winter? Large big toe joint problem.

['Tim' via RBW Owners Bunch]

I think the answer to this question varies depending on what "winter" means. I 
think you're in the DC area, Lum, and so your winters are pretty similar to 
here in KC. So will you ride in wet snow? What temperatures are you looking to 
be comfortable in. Are you a completely and totally insane person, like Deacon 
Patrick, who has to think about temps of 20 below zero? (SARDONIC GRIN) Or 
is your cutoff freezing? Above or below freezing? I can't imagine any sandal 
and sock combination keeping my toes warm much below 45 or so without some type 
of wind stopper layer. Maybe it's just your normal cycling shoe, sized up 1/2 
size or so to fit thicker wool socks and perhaps a liner below that. I use a 
Keen hiking shoe, one pair of thicker Smartwool sock (hiking, usually) until 
around 40. After that a windproof cycling shoe cover. I have to buy these new 
every 2-3 years because I don't wear cleats and my grippy pedals eventually 
wear out the bottom. That combo is good to around freezing. From freezing to 20 
or so I add a base liner of a Smartwool cycling sock under the thicker ones. 
Much below 20 I really don't care to ride, but I will if I have to. At any 
rate, fingers and toes are the most vulnerable parts in the cold.

[RBW] Pashley What If...

Math check:

Wheel delta from 635mm (28”) to 599 mm (26”) = 36mm or 1.4” smaller diameter.

Increase tire delta from 1.5” to 2.3” = .8” so just over half the difference 
made up, putting it at roughly a 700c equivilant wheel?

I really like the Merrell barefoot shoes. They sell a pair of Gore Tex 
minimalist shoes that keep my feet somewhat dry and warm in the winter biking 
in PDX.

[RBW] Pashley What If...

[Deacon Patrick]

I should add a tip-o-the-hat and a raise of the glass to Patrick of the Moore 
for the idea of swapping wheelsizes, which set the little boulders in my head 
tumbling to either make a mess or eurika! Grin. Also, here is the US Pashley 
distributer if specs help... http://www.britishbicycle.com/pashley-speed-5/

[RBW] Pashley What If...

[Deacon Patrick]

Ideas? Thoughts? Thinking convoluted or inspired or somewhere in between? 

What if... I got a 24.5” Speed 5, but with the 26” wheels of the 20.5” frame. 
This (possibly) accomplishes several things:

— standard US wheel size opens up a world of tires, including:
— Compass Rat Trap Pass, at 2.3” tire (would that fit with the smaller rim?) a 
lighterish, all weather bashabout bike that is smooth and cushy. My version of 
a “go fast” for the riding I do.
— Racing Ralphs for winter riding (and what a great bike for winter with simple 
drive train and drum brakes?)
— with larger tires the overall final diameter of the wheel/tire combo is close 
to unchanged?

[RBW] Cross Post: looking for flat, thin and serviceable nylon pedals

[jeffrey kane]

I posted this to the iBob list as well so my apologies for the redundancy:

I'm in search of a nylon or plastic type body -- I don't care for 
replaceable steel pins. I really like the nylon-like models: they don't 
scratch stuff that they come in contact with and are usually pretty light. 
Inexpensive is nice but not a barrier to purchase. I wore through a pair of 
cheap VP's in a year already (the bearings feel like a pepper grinder) and 
can't be replaced. I prefer the thin bodies (2cm or under) over the old 
school 3cm BMX types. I like allen key install over traditional pedal 
wrench fittings ... and yes, I'd like to rebuild them after riding through 
east-coast salt infused winters, whether sealed bearing or loose ball.

Any ideas for candidates that fit the bill?

Same as Eric.  I wear Keens with thicker wool socks in the winter. Instead of 
GoreTex, I have a pair of Sealskins that I wear over the socks in wind or wet.
