Fantastic tale! My drivetrain is all over the floor drying as I read this. On Sat, Dec 21, 2013 at 7:40 PM, Cecily Walker cecily.wal...@gmail.comwrote: In a fit of inspiration? stupidity? I decided to try to ride my bike to work on Friday. I should mention that the city of Vancouver had about 10cm/4in of snow fall overnight, and I soon grew weary of waiting for a cab that never came. I managed to make it two blocks before I fishtailed, and not being nearly as savvy a rider as I make myself out to be, I stopped, phoned in to work and told them I wouldn't be coming in, and spent the next 45 minutes taking pictures and playing in the snow on the plaza in the middle of my neighbourhood (the plaza is about 100 steps from my front door). After realizing that standing on snow for 45 minutes when you have RA makes just about as much sense as shoving splinters under your fingernails for fun, I headed back home. I was within 10 feet of my door when I wiped out and fell on my well-padded tuchis in the middle of the street. Luckily, I'm able to laugh at myself.

[RBW] Re: Off-road excursion, not intentional
I find the best strategy is not going into the ditch. I do three things that consistently help. One, I don't ride close to the edge, not so much because I fear the edge but because I want to have room to move over when a careless driver in a truck or big honking SUV passes too close. Second, whenever I am around road obstacles like broken pavement, glass, or old mufflers I look where I want the bike to go, not at what I want to avoid. After a while this becomes instinctual. The third thing is the hardest to do consistently - pay attention all the time. Captaining a tandem has helped with this because the captain or pilot needs to tell the stoker what they are going to do or hit before it happens. And, even though I am resilient I fear one crash will end my wife's trust and desire to ride with me. Keep the rubber side down and the smile side up. BTW we under under very heavy ice here in N. VT.

[RBW] Re: Off-road excursion, not intentional
Yes, the most basic rule for bicycling and motorcycling is the same - look to where you want to go. The flip side of that is that, when you look at (fixate on) the pothole or ditch or oncoming vehicle, you WILL ride into it. When I'm riding twisty roads, on either machine, one trick I use when coming up to a hairpin, especially one I can't see through due to trees or side of the mountain, is to say to myself expect a truck and then keep my gaze looking past the apex of the turn. On the few occasions when a car or truck appears there, I'm not so freaked out by it, and can continue my turn smoothly. - Andrew, Berkeley On Sunday, December 22, 2013 8:11:14 AM UTC-8, Michael Hechmer wrote: I find the best strategy is not going into the ditch.

[RBW] Portland OR Stolen Bike Alert
Sorry if this is OT, although my just stolen bike did have a number of Riv-purchased components. Late last night or early this morning by custom Beloved touring bike was stolen from my friends' backyard in NW Portland. I have filed the police report and am scanning CL, but I know there are a number of Portlanders on this list so I thought the more eyes the better. This is a pretty distinctive bike and I am sure the person who took it (they left a rusty beater mountain bike in exchange) has no idea what they have. Here is link to my Flickr set with bike photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/linkbeak/sets/72157624329880482/ It is currently decked out in cork tape, SKS fenders not the Honjos, Schwalbe tires, and a Terry saddle.

[RBW] Re: New RBW Silver brand chainrings available!
Last Nov., when in CA, I visited RBW and bad mouthed the rings they sold. I especially pointed out that on a tandem or on rough roads eventually the FD will move enough to cause an over shift and without a stud behind the crank arm it will most likely cause the chain to wrap. They told me about the new rings coming. They look very nice have the much needed stud, unfortunately not in sizes I normally use(48/34/26), although a 45/35/25 sounds like a very interesting setup - nice range, close gears, good shift pattern.

Re: [RBW] Re: New RBW Silver brand chainrings available!
I'm really fond of the Davinci Crank which is mfg. by White. (their web page shows it in polished black but I have two in silver and think that is still available) Like the TA it comes with interchangeable spiders, low Q good looks, double or triple. Not cheap but not crazy expensive either. I wish RBW would pick it up as a co branded crank.

The virtue of the smaller BCD is that you can run very compact doubles in the outer two positions; 54 down to 26 and, IIRC, 86 down to 26. I use a XD2 as a 38/24, but I have to run the rings in the middle and innermost positions -- not that this is a huge hardship, but it would be nice to have 1 BCD for all 3 rings. My vote, fwiw, is a budget alternative to the Compass Herse cranks, but with a bit of flare to the arms so that they can accomodate frames that themselves accommodate 60 mm tires, at least, while keeping Q to a minimum. That -- small bcd, minimum Q for mtb frames, silver, silver, silver -- is, I think, a real and valuable niche, and I'd love something like it for the Fargo.

[RBW] Re: Rivendell SimpleBeam - New Model - Call for the Seriously InterestedB
Agreed Jim. Wouldn't it just be easier to see if there were 30 people willing to pre-order an actual SO/QB? I know there's no opportunity for creative expression in that, but it does seem odd to try to satisfy demand for the those bikes with a new bike that will explicitly NOT be those bikes! I know GP uses clone in a pejorative sense but to keep making a bike is not cloning it. Besides, aren't there business side advantages to continuing to sell, though perhaps on a limited, pre order basis, the bike for which you already amortized the tooling and development costs? I have a last gen silver QB and love it. If it were stolen or wrecked I'd seriously consider paying custom-shop money for a new one. I'm not the least bit interested in a NewBeam that has the chunky tube set of my Sam, double top tubes, or wavy gravy curved rear triangle bits. To me that bike would have nothing in common with a QB beyond the dropouts. Pete in CT -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Quickbeam or Simple One for my needs?
Michael, On the topic of top tube lengths: I have a 56cm SimpleOne and my wife has a 52cm Sam Hillborne. Ill try and help you out with your top tube length questions. The length of my wife's Sam's sloping top tube is about 55.5cm. So when you write that your Sam's TT is 55.5 and that it is shorter than the geometry chart says I presume you talking about the actual length of the tube v.s. the equivalent or effective or horizontal TT length of the frame (which is what the geometry chart gives). Since the Sam has a sloping TT and the SimpleBeams have nearly horizontal ones, comparing the actual lengths of top tubes is not the way estimate how long a stem you may want. What you want to compare is the horizontal distance between the head tube and the seat post (or seat tube). The RBW geometry charts give the effective TT length for the 56 SO as 56.5 and, and gives 57.5 for the 52 Sam. Eyeballing horizontal with my tape measure on our bikes those seem accurate to me. Based on that you might think the SO will fit like its 1cm shorter (in length) than the Sam. But the seat tube angles are different too and that factors into it as well. A steeper seat tube angle gives a longer feeling top tube, assuming put your seat the same distance behind the bottom bracket. The one degree difference in seat tube angles should eat up that 1 cm effective TT length difference. So all things considered, I suspect you would find the reach on a 56cm SimpleOne very close to that of your 52cm Sam Hillborne. If you want a frame with less reach, I guess you would want a 54cm Quickbeam since the SimpleOnes didn't come in that size. It may also be worth noting that 5cm Nitto stems are available from Bens's (I have one on my SimpleOne now). On Saturday, December 21, 2013 6:41:02 PM UTC-8, Michael wrote: Thanks Jim and everybody for the great info! 1. Looks like the smallest Simple One ever in production was a 56cm frame? That means the 56.5 TT c-c, according to the posted geometry charts at RBW, is too long for me to use drops, which I would want on this bike. I am maxed out with drops on my on my 55.5 TT c-c Sam with a 6cm stem extension. Very comfy though. But wouldn't want another 1.5cm longer. Maybe someone here can measure their 56cm SimpleOne's TT c-c and post back what theirs actually is. If anyone has time and feels like it. Maybe it is shorter in real time than the geo charts say. It is that way with the 52cm Sam because of the sloping theory. 2. The SO and QB are both coastable, right? Thanks again for the great info, everyone! Maybe I will wait for the new one to come out next year if me and 29 peeps put down the cash money in time. That would take some spousal convincing though, or selling my - perish the thought - Bleriot. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Bridgestone motorcycle
No it wasn't a rotary shift on the 350 GTR, it was on the smaller bikes, in particular, the 90. I know, I rode a 350 GTR belonging to a friend. Tanyrate, it was never that big a problem. At the time, motorcycle gear shifts were in a state of flux. I quote In the 1970s and earlier, the British made bikes that shifted with the right foot. Some were down for first and up for everything else. Some were up for first and down for the rest. Then the Japanese jumped in with neutral all the way up and everything else down, or neutral down and all the rest up. To make things really interesting they also came up with a rotary shift, which went 1,2,3,4, neutral,1,2,3,4, neutral... etc. Supposedly this was to make city riding easier. All you had to do was shift down one more time, to get into neutral, as you come up to a stop light. One bike, the Bridgestone 175*,* even gave you a choice between four gear rotary shift or five gear oneup, the rest down shifting. A lever on the crankcase let you choose. Not only that, but before 1965 there was an extra neutral between fourth and fifth gears too ! In Australia, we had British, Japanese, Italian and Spanish motorcycles. You got used to thinking about what you were doing. A useful attribute in an age of narrow tyres, small cable operated drum brakes and flexible chassis with a motor capable of reaching 90 to 100 mph. Nearly as risky as barrelling down a steep hill on a bicycle with brakes that according to the maker were designed to slow you down not bring you to a stop.

Re: [RBW] Re: Half link, NO! File, SI!
80 inches is my too big to climb, too small to keep up with geared buddies all-around gear. I prefer a 70 to 74 inch gear for riding by myself.

[RBW] Solstice Ride
Dan, Eric, Greg, Paul and I did a loop through western Goochland and eastern Fluvanna Counties yesterday with lunch at an old stage stop, Wilmington and coffee on Elk Island. Record warm temperatures and dry weather made for a pleasant change from the often cold, damp, etc weather seen on the solstice...times have changed as we went by a number of closed country stores and at least two former stage stops before we ran across an open country store. And that place is one of the poorest excuses for a country store I know about, unless of course your interest lies with Richards Wild Irish Rose and its multitude of flavors...

[RBW] From the ground up - first installment
Spent a lazy afternoon after the night of the annual Christmas party for church people. It's over, we are still married, and the house is intact. So I spent the afternoon putting the wheels together.
