Re: [RBW] Re: low-rider rack and bags
I can't wait to see the Sackville front panniers. I'm thinking about this now as S24O season is upon me and I don't have any for my Tara.

[RBW] Re: low-rider rack and bags
Yeah... I'm definitely a bikes-should-have-fenders kinda guy. But seeing 45mm tires on that Hillborne gets me thinking about my 700c canti-studded Hillborne... "How fat could I go?" "How cushy could that be?" and, admittedly, "How badass could it look?" Apparently pretty badass. Perhaps not as... well... "sexy" as having a silver brake wrapping around the tire like that. But still. Pretty intense. Has anyone put 50mm tires on an unfendered 700c Waterford Hillborne?

[RBW] Re: low-rider rack and bags
Yeah, it looks like a smart design. I'm definitely glad that it's being made with the idea of taking advantage of the fork braze-ons common to Rivs. The fact that it's made by Nitto is sure to mean that it's quality. I really love that Hillborne in the post. --mike > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: low-rider rack and bags
That is one nice looking rack. I use the Tubus Duo because it's two separate pieces so it takes up little space when the bike is packed and shipped, unlike the Tara et al with the connecting hoop. My max front load never exceeds 15 lbs per bag (usually a lot less) & the Duo is perfectly secure and stable at that weight. I would expect Riv's new front rack to be just as good. It has the added advantage of mounting to the fork eyelets common on many Riv models. Sure hope this one makes it into production. dougP On Jun 21, 6:36 pm, Michael_S wrote: > Wow... that low rider rack is gorgeous!

[RBW] low-rider rack and bags
Admittedly I'm partial to bike bags. I like a variety of ways to carry stuff on my bike. So I'm really hopeful that the low-rider (aka hub-area) rack and its associated bags mentioned in the latest blug entry make it to production. I've used a tubus tara for front pannier mounting. It is surprisingly light. But nothing can really make its bulk attractive. And it needs clamps to work well with the Hillborne fork. The rack depicted in the blug looks to be exactly what I'd like: small, light, silver, and designed so as to work with my fork. For me it doesn't need to carry 40 pounds or 40 liters. Presuming it's a true Sackville, I expect to be happy with the bag that would go with the rack depicted. Sackville front panniers... I never thought it'd happen. I sure hope it does.

Re: [RBW] New Mexico listmembers?
I grew up in Albuquerque, though now I live outside Boston. Was back there last summer for high school reunion and went on a ride with an old classmate. We'd planned on riding up to the Crest but the road was closed due to fire danger. Instead, we started down in the valley, north up to Paseo, then up Tramway across to the Tijeras Canyon. Rode out the canyon and then looped back to the valley ending at Sadie's for lunch. Almost exactly 50 miles under a blazing July sun. Haven't been that thirsty since I went back East for college. Best tasting Negro Modelo I think I've ever had after that ride. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Yep, 559. Still using Panaracer HiRoads. Haven't decided what I'm going to move to when my stash of these is used up.

Ken: can you post a photo? I think I saw it on the Boblist when you first took delivery, but it has been too long to remember what I saw. IIRC, it's a 559 wheeled design, right? I'm curious to see again what it is like -- and, if I am right in thinking that it is 559, to learn what tires you are using. Thanks.

Re: [RBW] reaffirmation of a nice frame
Blessing here. I spend more time riding and less time thinking, writing, talking or stressing about bikes. I have more money in my pocket because I don't worry about trying to find something better than what's already on the bike. The only tweaking I've done on the bike since I got it has been to change out the pedals and (recently) the cassette for a different set of ratios since I've moved away from the area for which it was originally geared. -Ken On Thu, Jun 21, 2012 at 1:45 PM, William wrote: > Is it a blessing or a curse, getting a bike that makes all other bikes feel > bad?

Re: [RBW] reaffirmation of a nice frame
Is it a blessing or a curse, getting a bike that makes all other bikes feel bad? I think it's a blessing. My first Riv was a tipping point for me. It changed the way I viewed cycling as a whole. The consequence was that 100% of my kinda substantial stable got turned over (let me see one, two, threeseven bikes that I had in the garage in December 2009 are now gone). I'm back up to 5 bikes for me, and only two of them are Rivendells, but they are all the direct consequence of the transformation in me that began with my first Riv and continues.

Re: [RBW] Re: reaffirmation of a nice frame
What was the brand and model? (So I can avoid it.) FWIW, the SOMA Smoothie (as distinct from the Smoothie ES which has oversized tubing; the Smoothie "tout court" is standard gauge) at sub $400 for the frame (no fork -- Riv's Carbonomas might work well) has gotten good reviews for a fast, smooth and good-handling ride. It has me interested.

Forget the ultralight, uncomfortable bikes, flashy jerseys, clunky shoes that clip onto tiny pedals, the grinding out of endless miles. Instead, ride like you did when you were a kid—just get on your bike and discover the pure joy of riding it. A reformed racer who’s commuted by bike every day since 1980, whose writings and opinions appear in major bicycling and outdoor magazines, and whose company, Rivendell Bicycle Works, makes bikes for riders ready to opt out of a culture overrun by racing, Grant Petersen shares a lifetime of unexpected facts, controversial opinions, expert techniques, and his own maverick philosophy. In 87 short, two-to-three page chapters, it covers: • Riding: Count Days, Not Miles; Corner Like Jackie Robinson; Steer with Your Hips, Shift with Your Legs • Suiting Up: The Shoes Ruse; Ponchos—the Ultimate Unracer’s Garment • Safety: #1 Rule—Be Seen; Helmets Aren’t All They’re Cracked Up to Be • Health and Fitness: Why Riding Is Lousy All-Around Exercise; Saddles Don’t Cause Impotence; Drink When You’re Thirsty—Not Before Also includes chapters on Accessories, Upkeep, and Technicalities as well as a final chapter titled “Velosophy” that includes the essential, memorable thought: Your Bike Is a Toy—Have Fun with It.
