My helmet is a Bell Metro, which has a small brim which keeps a lot of the rain off. But my main way of dealing with precipitation is to carry an extra bandana in my pocket and give the glasses a quick wipe every few minutes. Works with mist, too.

[RBW] Re: Forward rocking vibration with long reach brakes
I'd say that your mechanic is kind of right in that brake shudder can be magnified by long reach brakes, thanks to the flex inherent in the longer brake arms, but the long arms are not necessarily the cause. Shudder is caused by irregularities in braking force--which cause the brake pads to stick to one part of the rim, flex the arm, and then jump back when braking friction is reduced. The same methods which you can use to stop a squealing or shuddering V-brake or canti brake apply here. So the first thing I would try is making sure that your rim and brake pads have a nice, even surface with no irregularities. Clean off your brake tracks with some fine grit sandpaper to remove oil or other contaminants, and then wipe them down with a clean, dry rag. Make sure your brake pads don't have any pieces of metal or debris lodged in them, and then use a file to remove any glaze from the pad's braking surface and give it a nice, rough texture. I bet that takes care of it, since many others on here use the same brakes without issues. If it persists, maybe switching to brake shoes designed for v-brakes, with spherical washers that allow you to adjust the toe-in of the pad, might be in order.

[RBW] Shake down ride of the RAM
Well aside from missing my kickstand, larger bags, and not disliking but planning on changing handle bar tape or brake levers... The Rambouillet far exceeded expectations on a hilly and winding route. Great high speed down hills, good steep climbs, and better friends. It handled turns in excess of 40mph accerating, braking and just coasting like a dream. The weird gearing 50/38/24 on front and 11x28 on back was perfect for me. Both the 50x11 and 24x48 got work outs on this day...:) They don't make a Roadeo 68cm, but this is mine..thank you Rambouillet for a great ride!

Re: [RBW] Shake down ride of the RAM
Very nice -- high end parts! Yours is the color of mine. I'll be using the same pump, too. Very nice crankset! My build has been stalled due to illness last week and two weeks of jury duty. I'm still waiting for a few miscellaneous parts; I'm hoping to get another tubular wheelset before too long but I have one to start with and I think I have the required three usable tires. Have: BB -- Phil 116 asym Crankset: Pro 5 Vis 44/30 Pedals: Look Keo Plus Bar: Noodle 42 Stem: Specialized Aero 8 cm Brakes: Veloce dual pivot -- we'll see if I can get these to work. Brake levers: Dura Ace aero pre-STI Shifters: Dura Ace 7400 era downtube Front der: Dura Ace, pantograph era RD: Dura Ace 7400 era Seatpost: Nitto Jaguar Saddle: Flite, original issue FW: Shimano 600 31-21 7 speed Chain: SRAM 8 speed Bag: probably Carradice Junior Cage: King Iris Still need to get: Cables and housing Stan's -- for tubbies!

Re: [RBW] Re: SFR Lighthouse brevet. Roll call?
Fairly windy? A little rough? Understatements of the year perhaps? (it's early in 2013) :) The rollers to the Marshall store didn't end up being rollers as we had to pedal to keep moving on the flat sections. No momentum was carried at all from the downhills. I was crawling in my granny on 4% grades. Of course, the same stretch going away from the Marshall store was a joy as I felt like Cancellara. Still, if I didn't have to face headwinds for the rest of the year, that's alright with me. The clear weather more than made up for the pain with the fantastic view at the Lighthouse though.

Regardless you are encouraged to have lights in the event of a mishap that delays your return. Weather conditions are highly variable along the route with dense ground fog being possible.

[RBW] Newbaum's Tape is Great and Better Hunqapillar photos
To get a bar tape that is a good match to the kidney bean color found on some Rivendells, Newbaum's tape in maroon with one coat of CLEAR shellac hit the mark to my standards on my Hunqapillar. I recently put up 3 pictures of the Hunqapillar. Here I add two more without the flash reflecting off of the bag and tires. In the following photo, you can sort of see how the Newbaum's came out after the one coat of shellac. http://www.flickr.com/photos/46035786@N07/8418276301/in/photostream/ I continue to ride this bike almost every day, both to work and for fun. I can't think of anything I wouldn't do with this bike. Albatross bars VERY far extended with a LONG stem have been good for me. I knew you had to get them forward more, but I think on my first try a couple years ago, I didn't go far enough. For me, none of the Nittos would be long enough for use with Albatross. For me, Albatrosses work well with something even longer like an early 90's mountain Ritchey. Luckily, I had that in the box. Rivendell should get Nitto to make those again for use with the Bosco (nonBullmoose) bars. The 25.4 clamp would be a match too! Finally, Newbaum's tape is really nice.

[RBW] Quickbeam Cockpit Change
My lovely silver 66cm Quickbeam had been sitting pretty much unused since last October when I took delivery of my new 62cm Hunqapillar. There was nothing wrong with it, but somehow it gets hard to get off a new bike. But it wasn't right. I still loved the QB. I just needed a good excuse. It finally came to me. The QB had ended up being set up with a Platrack up front which often sported a big Wald. It was great for shopping and hauling stuff around, but I was getting the feeling that my QB might want to run a wee bit lighter. After all a Hunq can carry pretty much anything you can throw at it so why have to two bikes set up more or less the same wa? I'm a January birthday boy and after purchasing the Hunq I had a decent amount of rebate due so I decided a cockpit change was in order for the QB. I'd fallen in love with Albatross bars so I decided I'd move from Moustache bars to Albas on the QB as well. I'm not giving up on the Moustache bars, they'll be going to Hilo to replace the drops on the RB-1 I keep there. I'm not a big drop fan so it'll mean I'll probably ride more when I'm in Hilo. This was also a good time to replace the cables and housing on my QB. I ordered new Albas, a new Tallux 13cm stem (big guy, 66cm QB, big stem - it's perfect), new Shimano brake levers, and cabling to boot. I also ordered a set of Portuguese cork grips. That meant I had to mix up a batch of shellac. I use so little of the stuff that buying a pint isn't really a deal as most of goes to waste after a couple of years. I find mixing up a couple of ounces at a time from flakes a better deal - besides it's fun. The rebuild itself was almost very smooth. I always forget my bikes are big enough I need extra long cables to reach the rear of the bike - I had to run out and get a tandem cable once I realized this. I also needed to replace my front barrel adjuster - but luckily I figured this all out in time such that I only had to make one trip to the LBS. Everything went pretty well after that. I had no trouble and in a couple of hours (lots of breaks) I had a brand new bike - sort of. :-) I did have to wait for the shellac to mix so I rode for one day with some cheap rubber grips I had laying around. Worked fine, ugly though. Then disaster struck. When putting on one of the cork grips I managed to break the darn thing. Luckily it was pretty clean break and I didn't lose any material. I was bemoaning the fact that I'd have to order another set when I realized that once they were on my bike both ends of the break would push together and be pretty much unnoticeable. Beausage of different sort I guess. Ultimately it turns out you can tell if you look at it up close but I can't feel any difference and a little imperfection never really bothers me so until they wear out completely I'm good. I did a few good coats of shellac, let it dry and voila...time to ride. Yesterday I went out for 20 mile jaunt after work and stopped to take some not so great photos with my camera phone. I'll have to get out with a decent camera at some point, but some aren't too bad at smaller sizes. There are also a couple of shots of the bike with the ugly rubber grips, though at larger sizes you can they blur a bit. All in all I'm thrilled. Now I have a Hunq that can carry anything and a relatively lighter Quickbeam. Good stuff. Here's a few shots of the whole deal... http://www.flickr.com/photos/mgps-bob/sets/72157632587418243/ Aloha, Bob -- Robert Harrison Honolulu, HI rfharri...@gmail.com statrix.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Quickbeam Cockpit Change
Great story and great job! I'm also a January birthday boy and am now on day 2 waiting to decide what to get... I also went cockpit crazy today and decided to try the Rando Bars Jan loves so much on the low trail Atlantis. Don't ask me why... except that I was very curious both about the bars and about how the low trail bike would handle with those narrower special drop bars. I put them on a 7cm Tallux and only hooked the rear brake to have a chance to ride it a bit and try it out. Just around the block. Tomorrow I'm going for a longer ride as it did feel quite interesting and quite nice, although I have to ride it longer to see what it'll do to my neck. Bars are quite higher than the saddle though... Your QB looks awesome! Happy belated birthday!!!
