[RBW] Re: Big Apples for GAP and CO tour
Shawn: If you choose the 50 mm BAs just for this ride, the C O part might provide enough poor drainage and mud to have you wishing for something less floaty. Remember when you leave Hancock that there are 17 miles of asphalt you can default to on the opposite side of the canal from the C O; the Western Maryland Railway trail.

Re: [RBW] A bike to grow old with?
I was reminded of this yesterday, when the route included multiple rough RR track crossings and old worn chip seal. The 650B conversion to a RBW Road allows 38 mm Pari-Motos. At 55 - 60 lbs of air pressure, they float over that junk. On Sun, Feb 17, 2013 at 4:06 PM, islaysteve alkire...@verizon.net wrote: ..

[RBW] Re: Big Apples for GAP and CO tour
I like the 50mm BA as well but agree with Bobby they are NOT good in mud. The last time I rode the CO it was wet and muddy. I ran 50mm Duremes and was glad for the tread.

All thanks for the input. I am glad to hear that many of you have ridden this ride with BA and were happy with their performance. I have only ridden a short distance on the BAs and they feel great, especially going down my long rough gravel drive way. I was concerned that the tires might be too heavy and slow, but again it is a tour and not a race. After reading a few of the comments about mud on the CO, I am starting to wonder if I might be better with the Big or Little Ben tire. I worked really hard to get my 60mm Berthoud installed with the 50mm BAs and was concerned that if I did drop down in tire size the fenders would not look right with smaller tires. Here is a pic of my Atlantis. http://www.flickr.com/photos/greenwayrider/8483800970/in/photostream I know this is subjective, but what is the smallest tire you can run with 60mm Berthound fenders and maintain a good fender line?

They may be slow, but only if you're doing this ride in 4 days. In that case, speed might matter. We've done this ride a handful of times, in both directions, and over different time frames. I highly recommend it. You'll have a great time. The scenery and history of the area is wonderful. If you're not from the Pittsburgh area, and would like an escort to get you and your group through the city maze and detours, and onto the main trail, we would be glad to lead the way.

Re: [RBW] Re: Big Apples for GAP and CO tour
Not a direct answer, and also subjective, but I got compliments on my '03 Curt with 45 mm 559 dimpled Honjos installed over 22 mm (actual) Specialized Turbos. I have to agree that the hi-rise 60 mm PBs on the Fargo looked odd with 34 mm actual Kojaks -- and per Jan there is more splashing when the gap isn't just so, but I've not found it a huge problem, living as I do where 9 is normal in a good year. I agree that all else equal one wants the best fender line and gap, but after all, aren't other variables far more important?

I have only ridden a short distance on the BAs and they feel great, especially going down my long rough gravel drive way. I was concerned that the tires might be too heavy and slow, but again it is a tour and not a race. After reading a few of the comments about mud on the CO, I am starting to wonder if I might be better with the Big or Little Ben tire. I worked really hard to get my 60mm Berthoud installed with the 50mm BAs and was concerned that if I did drop down in tire size the fenders would not look right with smaller tires. Here is a pic of my Atlantis. http://www.flickr.com/photos/greenwayrider/8483800970/in/photostream I know this is subjective, but what is the smallest tire you can run with 60mm Berthound fenders and maintain a good fender line?

[RBW] Re: Same shots.
Manny: What you are doing isn't nutty at all. Often the same shot can look entirely different over time. One of my touring buds did a Vermont fall tour so he could photo the spectacular colors. Since it can happen over a few weeks, he booked the tour for consecutive weeks to guarantee his chances of good photos. As luck would have it, the first week was fabulous, with all the colors at their max. The weather change quickly enough that by the time he repeated the same loop a week later, all the leaves had fallen. He made a point of duplicating the previous week's photos at the same spots. It made for a set of remarkable photos, with some so different that he had to point out some point of identity to link the two photos. dougP On Sunday, February 17, 2013 11:07:28 PM UTC-8, Manuel Acosta wrote: If you don't know, I take tons of shots while biking.

[RBW] Re: A bike to grow old with?
I have a Sam H. in the 52 CM size with 650B wheels. It has the single top tube. I am 5 foot 11 with an inseam of about 33 inches and Rivendell would have probably sized me up to the next size (I bought the frame from Renaissance Cycles). At that time none of the Sam's had the double tubes but I was afraid of the really long top tube length. Anyway, with the expanded geometry used in the Sam's I have found the bike to be quite comfortable and I had no problem getting the saddle high enough using a standard 330 mm Mountain Bike seat post though I probably show more seat post than the Riv, people would think is appropriate My observations on the Sam are that it is a great commuting bike, touring bike (I rode from Hong Kong to Shanghai on it three years ago) and just an excellent bike for general riding. I love it to death and can highly recommend it. That said it will never be confused with a sporty bike and even stripped down without racks, fenders and lights it is a fairly heavy machine. I don't think it climbs well and I find I need lower gears to negotiate hills than on other bikes. It also has a turning radius similar to a 1978 Buick Electra Station Wagon I can't make a 180 turn at least on the bike trails in Hong Kong without stopping, picking the bike up, turning it around and then remounting. I have found that I still like to have a lighter, less stretched out frame for faster, unloaded rides. If you are that type rider I'd look at the Soma San Macos frame. Lastly and this is true with any Rivendell design I think, plan on buying a shorter crank. They have very low bottom brackets which makes them really stable but being a centimeter (1/2 inch) or so closer to the ground means that you can easily get pedal strike through corners if you aren't careful At least that is my observation On Friday, February 15, 2013 8:19:36 AM UTC+10, markt...@gmail.com wrote: New member to the group here.

I'll have to add my recommendation for the Atlantis, too. I have only had mine a year or so... and the thrill hasn't worn off yet! Truly a fine bike. However, whenever I ride my wife's (beautiful, same size as my Atlantis) Betty Foy, I find myself coveting the comfort and ease of that mixte frame... maybe one of each? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Big Apples for GAP and CO tour
Hi Shawn I've been mulling over the same dilemma: Big Ben or Big Apples? In the UK they're both available in the 26 x 2.0 which seems fine with a 60cm mudguard if you're not ploughing through muddy trails. The review from Rivs swing me towards Ben: its's the newer tyre and probably more versatile given the more pronounced tread. Personally I prefer the aesthetics of a less aggressive tread with mudguards though... Pricewise they're about the same too. Horses for courses pehaps...

I have only ridden a short distance on the BAs and they feel great, especially going down my long rough gravel drive way.

After reading a few of the comments about mud on the CO, I am starting to wonder if I might be better with the Big or Little Ben tire. I worked really hard to get my 60mm Berthoud installed with the 50mm BAs and was concerned that if I did drop down in tire size the fenders would not look right with smaller tires. Here is a pic of my Atlantis. http://www.flickr.com/photos/greenwayrider/8483800970/in/photostream I know this is subjective, but what is the smallest tire you can run with 60mm Berthound fenders and maintain a good fender line?

[RBW] Small tweaks
Today I decided I needed to try the one bike approach. I often drug out the S1one from the basement for errands but I need more than one gear on the weekends. For me that one bike would be my Saluki. However the fit has bugged me for a while. So I looked at the fit in photos that I liked best on my two previous bikes and jammed my seat (B17 imperial) forward in my VO seatpost and lowered my bars. Instantly more comfortable and felt like I had better pedal connection and power. Sometimes ignoring the groupthink around fit can be helpful. This more aggressive position is helping me just ride more and lose weight to look good at my pending nuptials next year.
