[RBW] Re: Square taper spindle bolt torque

2014-05-26 Thread blakcloud
As a crank arm loosens off its tapered steel bottom bracket axle, the 
wiggle room allows the square taper hole to become misshapen. This happens 
over very little time as the crank arm is made of softer aluminum that the 
harder steel bottom bracket spindle. Depending on how long you have ridden 
with it loose, typically determines how misshapen the hole becomes. Tony, 
if the arm was loose only for your ride I wouldn't worry about it but if it 
was loose for a week, but you only noticed it that morning, there could be 
a problem. The only way to know is tighten the crank bolt and see what 
happens. If you tighten it and it becomes loose again, time to replace the 
crank arm. 

It is one of those lessons in life you learn once and it never happens 
again.

In that case mine is probably ruined then - I rode it at least 25 miles
continually stopping and tightening it.  I didn't really have a choice
though, I was in the middle of nowhere and needed to limp it back to some

2014-05-26 Thread gunnara
Dear Michael, just changed back to skinnier, softer tubing. The reason was a 
very irritating neck pain, it's gone now. Had a Roberts, quite similar to a HH, 
now I'm with a Mercian, standard 631 tubing. This bike is a bit stiffer in the 
BB than my old 531 frames, it fits my 220lb 6'4 very fine, although I'm still 
using it on gravel roads carry groceries home, pull my kids trailer. It has a 
mild lowtrail geo, also works fine for me. Please have a look 
Wolff234.tumblr.com 
You see, one can have the qualities from the past in a modern frame, combined 
with some modern achievements I'm very happy about  Best regards Gunnar.

I'm guessing Riv leaves the stem not fully inserted so it doesn't get 
marred or scratched prior to shipping to the owner.That way, it's up to 
the owner to set the stem height.   Riv probably would have done the same 
with the seat post, but they already know the customer's saddle-height down 
to the centimeter.

* Complete cockpit: 
 - Soma Brevet 
Bahttp://www.somafab.com/archives/product/brevet-randonneur-bar-round-bendr, 
46cm width, 
 - Nitto Technomic 26.0 110mm 72d Silver 225mm 1 Quill Stem
 - Cane Creek SCR-5C Compact Road Brake Levers  
 - Nitto Silver Bar Plugs
 - Wrapped in Newbaums green tape, twinned and shellacked.

According to my records the above was about $150 new. Will sell for $80 
including CONUSA  shipping.

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-9_03WxRoDk4/U4N9zakpu_I/DpY/z8KAz3HD2zk/s1600/Cockpit+3.jpg


* Sorta mangled Brooks B-17 
Pre-agedhttp://www.brooksengland.com/catalogue-and-shop/saddles/touring++trekking/B17+Aged/
 
 Great Brooks saddle with pre-drilled holes.  However for some reason - 
perhaps tying it down too tight, perhaps the numerous torrential storms I 
endured in my cross-country tour it broke in lopsided. The frame is fine 
but I have no idea how to revive the leather (if it's at all possible). So 
I'm selling this at fire-sale prices for anyone who wants to attempt said 
revival or put new leather on the frame.

$25 shipped CONUS

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-dhrwV0vxnDs/U4N957ACmgI/Dpk/E4eXNwV2MTM/s1600/Brooks+Angled.jpg



* Showers Pass Touring 
Jackethttp://www.showerspass.com/catalog/closeout/mens-touring-jacket
 - Yellow and Black, great rain jacket. Roomy, pit-zips hi-viz.  I bought 
the English Riding Jacket and don't really need a second jacket.  This 
jacket has mostly been wadded up in my Saddlesack but I'm sure I've worn it 
a good dozen times. Good backup when it's really cold and certainly does 
it's job of keeping the rain off.

$35 shipped CONUS

* Large Splats http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/ar3.htm B Shoe size 7-9
- I'm a big fan of splats and used the original one's until the velcro wore 
out. So was happy to see the new edition with the improved side strap. 
However the size I ordered,, 7-9, are clown-shoe-ishly large. Considering 
that I am a size 9 show I wouldn't have thought that would have been the 
case (unless Riv sent me the wrong size I suppose).  Anyway I only wore 
these once in the rain and disliked the overly large size. 

So will trade them for the A size (up to 7) or $15 shipped CONUS

More pictures available on request. All items used, sold as is. All offers 
considered. First come first served c c

[RBW] Re: Square taper spindle bolt torque

2014-05-26 Thread Jim Bronson
Yes thank you, my family member(s) arrived faster than I expected, so that
was good.

We did have to remove the fenders and rack along with both wheels and
loosen the quill to get the bike in the trunk, but it's a small price to
pay to get picked up from a long way from home.  They also took me back to
the hotel I was at for the brevet in Italy, TX so I could gather my things,
which was another 85 miles in the car.  And lastly brought me back to
Austin since I had carpooled up to Italy.

I am indebted to them for the help, it was almost 500 miles of driving, and
they had to cancel their dinner plans at the lake with friends.

Re: [RBW] One last time: 559X 32 mm Kojaks versus 559X 32 mm Primo Racers versus others?

2014-05-26 Thread Patrick Moore
Thanks again for the replies. After much soul searching, anxiety, and
general fretting I have decided to stay with Kojaks, because, if they are
not entirely excellent as fast tires, they do fall into the category
technically known as *pretty darn good*. If 28 mm wide was sufficient, I'd
probably buy some Michelin WildRunr tires, but, beside the sickening
name, 28 mm is just too narrow (never thought I'd say that) for this
particular bike (which carries heavy rear loads and pounds over 3-6 wide
pavement cracks (which are due, so I read, from the asphalt shifting in our
sandy soil, not to our high desert temperature extremes).

I meant to add that, from the reports, of all the Kojak alternatives, only
the Michelin seems truly promising as a tire faster than the Kojaks and,
again, they are too narrow.

Andrew,

Yes it's on for the 12th.

At this point I only know that there is a PDX contingent planning on coming
down. How many I have no idea? I know Manny plans on being around  And I
plan on being there.

It'd be nice to see some of  the local's planning/itinerary. I've heard
various ideas tossed out but nothing firm. There was a ride around Tam and
then on another day a ride up Diablo with a stop by RivHQ? Or perhaps we'll
keep it simple and a bunch of Rivendell's descend on China Camp and we wing
it.

Personally, I'd love to camp at Sam Taylor or something similar. Or do the
Shell Ridge camp. I assume if there were lot's of us that Shell Ridge
wouldn't work. Anyway, what ever we do I'm sure will be a blast.

[RBW] Re: Habitual rides, riding habits

2014-05-26 Thread Garth
 These days I ride up to 15 miles or so in spring and fall, 20-35 miles in 
the heat and humidity of summer, which I feel the best in.  Sometimes just 
a few miles, and sometimes I've just turned around a block from home when 
it didn't feel right. . Give me the heat though  !  In the cold I wilt , 
hence I do not ride in winter .  Taking  time away from the bike completely 
is quite refreshing . Like this year I decided no more Birkenstocks , and 
ride in nice soft Crocs, which I wear around the house and love 'em. Last 
year in the middle of summer I tried, but having ridden NBirks for so long 
it just felt too weird. So after a winter of not even thinking of a bike, 
hopping on with Crocs was easy, a little awkward at first being that I 
pedal mid foot and Crocs are like very soft and flexible. But it felt Great 
! So I continued and now I fell better than I ever have in my life of using 
rigid shoes and Birks. Yep, time away from the bike is wondrous. 

My pace, 14-15 mph or so I suspect by the distance I see on google maps and 
the time I spend. I don't have any onboard mileage thingy , no distractions 
!  I stop whenever I want, wherever I want , sometimes just to walk with 
the bike and listen to all the wildlife and wind .  Yes, sometimes a bike 
is just too fast and noisy. 

I too wear nylon shorts, Ex Offico's . Bamboo and cotton shirts, 70/30 . I 
finally found my release from polyester, and I don't like wool either and I 
wanted a real v-neck, not a tight fitting tiny V like Icebreaker . They're 
like 11 dollars from Amazon, blissfully soft  and they're V-necks(or crews) 
!  yeah !  I also wear some Modal(wood pulp fiber also) shirts too.  I 
could sleep in what I wear cycling :)  

Most of all, enjoy the ride, no matter how far or short. If it's not fun, 
turn around, and or make it fun :)

I like your philosophy (except for not riding in winter). Riding must above
all else be fun, otherwise, to hell with it.

Can you post link or links to those bamboo/cotton and Modal shirts? I know
that in high summer, I say aero be damned and wear rayon (= wood fiber)
Hawaiian shirts, which are cool, antiseptic, comfortable,
air-circulation-promoting, and cheap-iss-imus at Goodwill: sub $5. But knit
rayon that is not quite as billowy might be even better.

 wanted a real v-neck, not a tight fitting tiny V like Icebreaker . They're
 like 11 dollars from Amazon, blissfully soft  and they're V-necks(or crews)
 !  yeah !  I also wear some Modal(wood pulp fiber also) shirts too.  I
 could sleep in what I wear cycling :)

 Most of all, enjoy the ride, no matter how far or short. If it's not fun,
 turn around, and or make it fun :)

This rack is different from the racks Rivendell carries.  The tubing is all 
10 mm (not 9 mm) and the finish is bright chrome, not nickel plate.  The 
platform is narrower than the big back rack.  The drop out mounting tabs 
have 6 holes for height adjustability.  Contact me directly with

I guess the crank puller helps you get the crank off the spindle 
because crank has been wedged onto there tight when it was installed and 
won't just pull off on its own.

2014-05-26 Thread Manuel Acosta
Had a free Saturday. So checked out Tamarancho with downhill buddy, Judd, 
to see what all the hubbub was about the Flow Trail. 
Pretty much lived up to the expectation and more. 
After falling twice, once trying to clip in over a bridge now called Judd's 
Bridge, the other fall off  a cliff trying to maneuver over rockage. Judd 
seemed to finally find his grove until.
Trying to ride some extra credit bermage he ends up endoing right into an 
all rigid carbon mountain biker.
Like seriously plowed this guy into a bush off the trail.  I'm a horrible 
person because I seriously wanted to laugh at the ridiculous scene. 

Finally got to the flow trail. Pretty much an adult downhill BMX course. 
After riding it twice we finally figured out to ride it. Just don't brake.
Lesson learn. Plow through folks because you don't break.

Finally got to do a Mission Peak Overnight.
After working a long day of pedicab figure best thing you can do it go bike 
up a mountain.
Big group again. Tommy, Tom B, Kurt, Puck, Brendan, Pat 
Mr.Wornthreads, and new overnight folks Dav on his commuter 
road bike and Brax on his newly front racked Huniqipillar. 

Left late and rode to the campgrounds in pitch darkness. 
Super unprepared and ended up not bring enough food or water. Luckily I 
have friends that don't mind sharing. The next morning we woke up to a 
beautiful sunrise and loose singletrack. Pretty mellow ride. 
Hardest thing about this ride was the BART ride home. Nothing watermelon 
can fix. Fun times all around.
Still don't know why people keep coming to these rides. I'm just glad folks 
are nice enough to come with extra food and willing to put up with riding 
with me.

Pictures proved it the right bike is the one you bring

Michael,

I know you want some used ones but they're some of the most reasonable bars 
Riv sells. And their in stock. I'd just get em from Riv. My .02 cents.

Re: [RBW] Re: Sugino XD2 crank exploded diagram available?

Yes.  I remove my drive side crank occasionally for cleaning and the crank
puller is a necessity.

(It's my non-drive side crank that was broken yesterday...)

 Thanks. That Park site helps.

 I guess the crank puller helps you get the crank off the spindle
 because crank has been wedged onto there tight when it was installed and
 won't just pull off on its own.

Just remember to remove the crank arm bolt washer before you screw in the
puller. Ask me how I know...
