[RBW] Re: Contemplating 1 x 9 drivetrain
Huh. the 8 speed Shimano 11-34 cassette costs $13 and the chains cost less than the 9-speed. That's a lot of cost for a lower gear I don't need except in the 36 front ring. Plus the potential change in shifting performance. H. Anyone know why Rivendell doesn't carry the 11-34 8x cassette? http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/us/en/shimano-acera-hg41-8-speed-mtb-cassette/rp-prod68154 Going with 24/36 x 11-34 gives me all the range I need at a fraction the cost of going 9-speed.

Re: [RBW] Re: Sam Hillborne Frame Fitment Update
Based on Avery's experience decided to put drops on my Sam Hillborne. Also with a Dirt Drop stem. Only had one 30 mile ride on it so far. Definitely is different. Still haven't decided it will stay this way or not. The reach to the bars is still about one inch further than my personal ideal. If my weight wasn't so high right now, it would be easier, of course. Did find my Nitto 115 bars which have a shorter reach, so that helps. And a good chunk of yesterday's ride was into a 25 mph headwind, which kept me on the hoods or in the drops.

[RBW] Re: 26 Tire Suggestions?
I've had good results on 26 with both Compass 1.75 and Big Ben 2.15. The Compass is speedy and nimble, while still good for mixed-terrain use; the Big Ben takes a little longer to get up to speed, but rolls over the damnedest things without complaint. I run the Compass on a Surly Trucker DeLuxe that gets a lot of road use, and the Big Bens on an elderly GT Karakoram that spends the Winter as an ice bike and spends the rest of the year as a balloon bike (this reminds me it's time to change the tires on that one).

but also how big the jumps are between gears; the ease of getting from one gear to the next; and where your favorite gears are. For me this is not the issue it seems to be for many other riders. The wide range 1x5 on my commuter / light[er] tour bike with a '90s vintage Campy OR rear derailer has big jumps between gears. Depending on the load and terrain I usually ride one of the two middle gears. On downhills or completely unloaded I may use the highest. For most Midwest climbing the penultimate granny works well for me. I have never used the lowest gear. The 5 speed is set up with a vintage Suntour Winner FW, so I do not get any weight advantage. It is, however, a very simple system that has never broken down on me and is very easy to clean and otherwise maintain. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Pedal swap deal done. Thanks for all the offers! Still looking for the Tech Deluxe stem (10cm), but on a whim installed a 10cm Dynamic, and it looks like it might be tall enough. I'm in unfamiliar territory where a regular height stem works for my needs. This is my first Riv that actually fits me (had a QB that was 2 sizes too small). My usual go-to for older frames is having to find tall and long stems to make the bike fit for me. No need for that with the Redwood.

[RBW] Re: Using my Sam as a commuter
I've only commuted by bike in a sprawling city (Greensboro, NC) for the past 4 years and have put over 10,000 miles on my Sam in the two years I've had it. 90-95% of my riding is utilitarian commuting, usually carrying 10-20 lbs. in panniers, and i absolutely love the Sam as a commuter. I actually have a Quickbeam (first Riv) but can no longer justify owning it because the Sam just fits so perfectly and does everything really, really well. If you're interested in new bags, I would highly recommend the Swift Industries Roll Top Pannier setup as well. They are waterproof (regular cordura version), CAPACIOUS (just one is almost always enough for me) and the backpack option is nice as well. I just got a brand new dyno hub to upgrade from my SON classic to the SON Wide Body, and it's a gorgeous, strong and light-enough wheel. I would highly recommend going Schmidt if you're going to commit to making the bike a viable car alternative, which it of course sounds like you are.

There hasn't been a lot of talk about using Riv's as commuters on this board and even Rivendell doesn't seem to push the commuting aspect for their bikes. The Sam to me, might make a good commuter. My commutes are 60 minutes each way, so nothing drastic. It is set up with Albatross's and a Brooks B67, plus the required basket and Mark's rack. The bike currently has Hetre's but I think I will use a pair of Marathons that I also own. I will pick up SKS Longboards today and if the experiment works, a new dynamo front wheel will be built.

Little known fact. White Industries freewheels are silly-easy to disassemble with a Park red handled pin spanner. The outer part is a single solid piece of metal, the cog and drivering. That piece is replaceable, both because it's a wear item and because people might want gearing flexibility. Your LBS with a White Industries account can get you a 20, 21, or 22 tooth drivering and you can swap them around to your heart's content. That part should retail for around $45 or $50. Clearly if you find a trade partner then you are just out shipping, but if you want it now, want it new, and want an excuse to give a little extra money to WI, that's a little-known option.

Re: [RBW] Anyone use front bag on a Sam like Rando-style?
I have a small front bag (acorn mini rando bag), in which I carry a U lock, tools, spare tube, sunglasses, lunch, etc, atop a Mark's rack on my Sam. That amount of weight (a couple pounds) seems fine and easy to get used to, but also not totally ideal. I keep doing it because I sometimes have a child seat on the back, which precludes using a saddlebag or panniers, and it's easier to just leave it set up this way than move things around all the time. And access to the front bag for things like sunglasses is really really convenient. But I do notice a difference: that same couple of pounds in back is not detectable at all in handling, where in front it is. Not the end of the world, but riding no-hands takes a little more effort, for example. Based on this experience, I wouldn't try putting really big load in the front of my Sam though. -Eli On Thu, Apr 10, 2014 at 1:48 AM, Michael john11.2...@gmail.com wrote: Weight on front rack.

Re: [RBW] Racks! (WTB?)
Tubus racks are fantastic, and will provide a fantastic solution that is compatible with Arkel's mounting system. I happen to prefer Nitto Big Racks, but you need to be aware that the corner bracing Nitto uses for their Big Campee racks (32R, 33R, and 34F) are NOT compatible with the Arkel Cam-Lock or B-Series pannier mounting systems out of the box. I've been documenting my efforts to get my Arkel bags to mate well with my Nitto Big Campee racks (32R and 34F), and I have to say I am quite satisfied with the results. It does, however, take a little effort and a willingness to take a hack-saw to the Arkel top-rail hooks. Step 1: If your friend is using Arkel bags with the newer Cam-Lock system, he or she will need to request a set of the older B-series hooks from Arkel. Arkel is a FANTASTIC company to interact with and supplied me with a set of B-Series hooks free of charge just for asking. I can't promise that they will do the same if your friend asks, but it's certainly worth a shot. Step 2: The Arkel-supplied B-series hooks will need to be modified so they lay flat over the Nitto Big Rack corner braces. I've outlined the process I used here: https://sites.google.com/site/hugfly247/home/projects/arkel-bags-with-nitto-racks-mod Step 3: If the bags have one hook that lands in-board of the corner braces, he or she could use one of the Cam Loc hooks. I've outlined the Hybrid B-Series/Cam Lock solution for Arkel bags on Nitto Big racks at the link below. I have not had a chance to post the illustrations yet though. https://sites.google.com/site/hugfly247/home/projects/arkel-and-nitto-redux-the-roller-cam-b-series-solution Let me know if these links are useful, or if you think additional detail is required. I'll try to get those photos posted this week. So, the upshot is that using Tubus racks would be simpler, but I happen to like Nitto racks more. Good luck! Hugh Pannier Mod Flynn Newburyport, MA On Apr 8, 2014, at 4:50 PM, Mathew Greiner wrote: Questions about racks. Answers and offers to sell used good ones are both useful responses. My friend's cheaper aluminum rack broke and he's looking to replace it with something better. He commutes most days with a pair of Arkel panniers and a suit in a suit bag (like a durable, zippered one that probably came with one of his suits). So far he's had the bags on his rear rack with the suit bag folded in half or thirds and draped over the top. The Nitto Big Rear Rack seems like a slam dunk, but I think he needs to know there isn't an equally good option for a little less. How are people's experiences with things like the Nitto R-15, The Nitto Campee*, Tubus Cargo/Logo/Vega, Surly Nice Racks, etc? If anyone knows much about the Velo Orange Rear Campeur, that's an option, too. I think a lighter rear rack just for the suit and front low riders for the panniers might be a nice option, but that's as expensive or more, and the tops of the panniers are no longer supporting the suit (they kind of extend the deck of the rack as he uses it now). The Nitto Big Front Rack might also be interesting, as his bike has a lower trail and reportedly rides well with weight in the front. What other options might you all experience with to accommodate a similar load? * Also please help me be less confused. There are Nitto MT Campees (for a 26 wheel?), Nitto Campees (R20?) that go for about $150, and then Nitto Campees with low rider attachments for front or rear that go for $280.

[RBW] Re: Contemplating 1 x 9 drivetrain
Going with 24/36 x 11-34 gives me all the range I need at a fraction the cost of going 9-speed. As long as the range and spacing between gears work for you, this looks like a winner. At that price, it's worth a try.

[RBW] Re: 26 Tire Suggestions?
My wife and two or three other friends with 26 Long Haul Truckers and one with a repurposed old 90's mountain bike have all run 2.0 Big Apples and love the way they ride. One of them has upgraded to 2.15 Big Bens and they fit the Long Haul with fenders. I have a 26 touring tank (Thorn Raven Tour) and rode 2.15 Big Apples for a couple of years until the rear was worn smooth (er - even smoother!). I think I had one flat the entire time and loved the way they rode as well. Since then I've upgraded to 2.35 Super Motos (basically a Big Apple with a folding bead and no kevlar belt). All I can say is - I'm in heaven. It sounds like they might be a bit too big to fit your bike (though for the record, the nice people at Thorn told me they doubted a 2.35 would fit the frame even without fenders and it fits fine with them - SKS P65s). I did have to order them from Germany, but the cost was not much more than a pair of Big Apples when all was said and done. I haven't tried Kojaks but I hear great things about them - if I had to limit myself to a 2.0 this would very likely be my choice. I am confused by the other posters recommending Compass 2.0s - if I were convinced of their existence I would find them very intriguing, but the website only shows 1.5 and 1.75 and my current philosophy is to run the biggest, supplest, lightest tire that will fit.

Hi Tim, You can get new non-aero brake levers from Velo Orange: http://store.velo-orange.com/index.php/components/brakes/levers.html I have 'em set up on my moustache bar, and I much prefer the non-aero cable routing for moustache bars. (VO also has non-aero brake hoods.) Also, some people have set up moustache bars with inverse levers.

*rivbike.com has links to their videos under the Learn Section of the website.* Installing bar end shifters, derailer and chain installation and set up, packing and un packing a bike, installing cork grips, twining, rack and fender installation, etc. Cool stuff. Fun vids that don't scare you to death about doing your own repairs. But always check a few sources before trying it yourself. Sometimes all the info you need to know isn't in one source, so check a few before proceeding. Some safety info that is necessary to know about projects, that sometimes are not mentioned in some how to vids: You must make sure the wedge section of your stem isn't installed in the butted section of your steerer tube. Be sure to know how to properly set bead and make sure the tube isn't pinched between bead and rim before riding off on a new tire. Which housings are for shifting cables and which are for brake systems? *Sheldon Brown is a good source* for exhaustive info about bike mechanics to check for whatever project you are doing. Not videos, but concise reads about bike parts and maintenance. He was the one that mentioned the stem wedge in the butted section of steerer tube. *Jim Langley website is good, too.* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

When you think of how much wear and tear and depreciation a car has riding even a $5k bike to commute daily makes way more fiscal sense than driving.

The answer for me was no, but I could trim down the number of bikes I own. I want to minimize and plus I don't have room as I live in a condo and bike parking has become an issue. There hasn't been a lot of talk about using Riv's as commuters on this board and even Rivendell doesn't seem to push the commuting aspect for their bikes. The Sam to me, might make a good commuter. My commutes are 60 minutes each way, so nothing drastic. It is set up with Albatross's and a Brooks B67, plus the required basket and Mark's rack. The bike currently has Hetre's but I think I will use a pair of Marathons that I also own. I will pick up SKS Longboards today and if the experiment works, a new dynamo front wheel will be built.

[RBW] Re: What's involved switching to road levers?
Hey, Ian. Not a significant difference in leverage. I'd put them close to equal to the mtn levers (non-aero, so a direct line may help). I use fold away to describe my work shop in progress, but it's really more like the Japanese roll away futon sleep in the living room concept. My hobbit hole is my walk in closet, office, sanctuary, reading nook, exercise room, and now workshop. I'll add a hook to the ceiling for my work stand, but today I just used the wheel stand you see in this photo: https://www.flickr.com/photos/32311885@N07/13768392265/. It and the bike go back in the garage when done (where my workshop would be, except all the noise constantly overloads my brain, though most people would consider it quiet). When you floor live, there is no need for chairs or stools, or other things that take up a lot of space and define it to a single use. So all our spaces are very flexible since we have no chairs.

It is indeed, Peter! Of course the real test comes when I ride for 7-8 hours in a day. I'm sure my gripes with the Albatross are addressed, but there may well be things that show up on the long rides, or technical trails (though I mimicked trail conditions pretty well, so I think it's just the long day test that remains).

[RBW] Free for postage: Rivendell Goines print
I ordered the David Lance Goines poster from Rivendell when it first became available. In unRivendellian fashion, the packing was less than stellar and the poster arrived slightly creased in a few spots. In very much Rivendellian fashion, after I reported the problem, they immediately replaced it with another, this time perfectly packed. I forgot about the first imperfect poster until I came across it hiding behind a sofa. I'd like to pass it along to someone else who's willing to pay the postage. I tried to photograph it but the creases are not easy to capture. Probably not quite fancy-frame-worthy, but certainly very presentable for workshop display. Ideally I'd like to pass it along to someone in Seattle to avoid shipping, but if there are no local takers, I'll send it in whatever way seems reasonable and cheap.

[RBW] Re: Contemplating 1 x 9 drivetrain
...the next gear can be an awkward front shift and a 2 or 3 click rear shift... So if you are in say 44/15 (2.9) and you shift to a lower gear you go through 30/11 (2.7) then 44/17 (2.6) then 30/13 (2.3) ... until you get to where you want to be? On Wednesday, April 9, 2014 2:36:16 PM UTC-7, Michael Hechmer wrote: Deacon, I'm sitting in an Inn after a hard drive across a chunk of Md., all of Delaware, NJ, and up NY to Rhinebeck so my brain is too tired for a full answer. So here's the short version. All gearing combinations involve trade offs among 4 variables - hi/low which you have identified; but also how big the jumps are between gears; the ease of getting from one gear to the next; and where your favorite gears are. The wider the hi/low range the wider the steps between gears, but this can be counteracted to some degree by going to a dbl and then a triple. A wide range cassette always yields large steps between gears, which I don't like. I usually run a 12-27 or at most an 11-28. Even with that, on our riding in flat Virginia I only used 3 gears but two of them were too far apart. So the double will let you get a pretty wide range with smaller steps. But with many doubles the next gear can be an awkward front shift and a 2 or 3 click rear shift leaving you between the gear you would really like. A ring difference of 10 tends to yield the simplest shifting pattern - a single click to the next gear. 14 tooth difference yields 2 clicks to the next gear. I tend to find the 12 difference leaving me between gears. I try to create sets with about 10% between gears especially in the most used middle. Finally, think about which gears you use the most and try to get a good chain line and easy pattern between them. I rarely use a ratio of less than 1 to 1 and never more than 4-1. For example my Ram has a 44/30 and an 11/27 while the Saluki a 48/34/26 (24 for big long climbs) with a 12-27. The tandem, likes easy shifting, so 48/38/28 with a 12-27. It feels very stressful to me to try to spin a ratio much below 1-1 fast enough to keep a bike upright for a long time. To each his own. Simplification is good, over simplification makes life more complicated than it needs to be. Michael On Tuesday, April 8, 2014 9:45:03 PM UTC-4, Deacon Patrick wrote: I am contemplating whether to go 1 x 9 or 2 x 9 with my drive train. here is the gear ration range comparison: In gain ratios: Current range (excluding my big ring, which I rarely use and will be dropping): 1.5 - 6 1 x 9 (28 x 12-36) 1.6 - 4.7 2 x 9 (24/36 x 12-36) 1.3 - 6 I don’t really need lower than 1.5, and I am unsure how the drop to 4.7 from 6 translates to speed loss. On flat or gradual descents, I suspect I would miss those upper gears. Can anyone provide their wisdom here? I am asking the question because I want to go as simple as is practical. I’d love to go with the 36t on a 1x set up, but it would add significantly to the number of hills i’m walking, especially when bikepacking. Perhaps going with a 30 or 32t 1x set up is the way to go? I will no doubt get stronger and the loss may not be a big deal with that. But then it’s better to lose gears on the upper range and coast more, and enjoy the ride on the climbs without killing myself. All wisdom deeply appreciated.
