[RBW] Re: These ones go to 11, again
Good Lord! $350 for an 11 speed cassette! If you scroll down, the price of the 10 speed cassette drops to a merely expensive $170. The 9 speed cassette drops non-linearly to $40. Following this ratio further, they should pay me to take their 8 speed cassettes. And I could retire if they gave me a 7 speed!

But why the move to get rid of triples and even doubles? Simplicity and fewer moving parts. These concerns of course have to be weighed against where the rider lives and rides.

Re: [RBW] Re: These ones go to 11, again
No argument here about the outrageous price, Rivendell sells 9 speed 11-32's for $40 as well. I'd never pay $350 for a cassette, even if I suddenly became a multimillionaire. I'm not sure the OEMs should be encouraged to think any sort of market exists for $350 cassettes. I just think it would be neat if something like an 11-40 were available in a 'normal' price cassette. I would define that as $55 or under. Of course, at that price, it would probably weigh 500 grams, but hey a 1x drivetrain up front would save weight, right?

Re: [RBW] Re: These ones go to 11, again
I'm fine with front shifting. But if you're into these 1X+huge-range cassettes, take a look at Wolf Tooth's GC42. You will end up with 11-42 10-speed cassette. It looks like a fairly straightforward conversion of a 10-speed cassette. (Remove the existing 17T, and add the 42T.) Sure beats the 11-speed price. I'd bet the 42T lasts a long time. http://www.wolftoothcycling.com/collections/cassette-cogs With any of these kits, YMMV. (I do like the idea of Wolf Tooth and others narrow/wide chain rings. Too bad they're designed for 10-sp chains.)

Re: [RBW] These ones go to 11, again
With the recent phenomenon of much wider tires, 3 plus it can get difficult for multiple chainrings to play nice with fat tires and maintain a reasonable Q factor. And related to that, front deraileurs are tougher to design and mount on these bikes. 1x or 2x is one solution.

[RBW] Re: FIRST RIDE ON MY B-17 standard
I switched from my Professional to an old broken in B-17 for my 900 mile California trip. Crazy to change a major component at the last minute, but I decided I needed the comfort. I'm really glad I made the swap. I had no issues, just 900 miles of comfort. My legs gave out way before I had any seat issues. Really amazing considering how little training I did before the California ride: 200 miles. I'm going to leave this B-17 on the Atlantis. Saddle slightly above bars.

Re: [RBW] These ones go to 11, again
Triple has never worked well with my Rivendell. I even had a fairly lengthy thread on the topic here on this list. 44/28 Double with a 11-34 wide range in the back has worked a lot better. But I wouldn't mind having even wider. That's why the 11-40 is attractive to me, may be even able to go with a standard compact double up front if I had 40 in the back. I'll have to calculate some gear inches and see how far apart 28x34 is from 34x40. If it's not everyone's cup of tea, that's understandable. To each his own.

I'll have to calculate some gear inches and see how far apart 28x34 is from 34x40. 28x34 is 22.2 and 34x40 is 23.0 for the same nominal 27 wheel. So, pretty close, but not quite as low. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Road Standard vs. Rambouillet?
500 is a great price for a Waterford built bike. What year is yours? 54 is probably not the catalog size, depending on your year, and of course the measure is c-t-t.

I think triples are swell for street riding in hilly areas, but I imagine a wide-range-rear single-front-ring setup is the bee's knees for dirt racers and people who ride like them.

Re: [RBW] These ones go to 11, again
Fat bikes are also pushing for single chain rings due to tire clearance issues. Few fat bikes ship with triples because they'd require a very wide crank to clear the fat rear tire. Surly's MWOD is an offset double (basically uses the two outer rings of a triple) to ameliorate clerance problems. I just bought a fatbike (Specialized Fatboy) and am very happy with the 2x10 setup. 36/22 rings with 11-36 cassette. 1 x 11 would be OK, but I'm a large mammal and will appreciate the granny ring this winter and for technical stuff. I love triples; my Riv has a Campy Racing Triple crank, my Schwinn KOM has the original XT M730 Biopace triple, and my 26 MTB has a triple crank too. For me, triples shift best with friction (Campy Ergos are friction for the front and easier to trim than Shimano STI).

Re: [RBW] These ones go to 11, again
The cog progression on the 11-40 is actually not bad, though of course it assumes a very small (~32 tooth) ring and though the gearing is clearly meant for singletrack. But the same principle applies to other terrain and other types of riding. I myself like the single ring setup for all my riding, saving my inner for exceptional hills and choosing my rear cogs for sufficient range for most of my riding with close ratio cruising gears in the middle; both my road bike -- Ram and off road (= sandy flats, mostly) bike -- Fargo are set up like this. But gearing is always a compromise, even with 11 in the back, and even with a 3X11: for this last you give up friction shifting (I imagine) and mixing and matching components, not to mention low price and chain line, in case this matters to you. Perhaps the Rohloff is the least compromised system for off road and touring, all taken together, though even that compromises with cost and weight. -- Resumes, LinkedIn profiles, bios, and letters that get interviews.

Perhaps the Rohloff is the least compromised system for off road and touring, all taken together, though even that compromises with cost and weight. From what I've read, the roadies using 11 speed like it and say it shifts even better than 9 or 10. There's no difference in chain line 11 vs 9 or 10. The compromise, if there is such, comes in when you consider cost, longevity and sensitivity to misadjustment. Although I have no personal experience with anything 9, from what I read there's no huge fall-off in longevity for 11 compared to 10. Bottom line: forgetting friction shifting (which in my opinion stops at 7) you're talking about state of the art derailleur drive trains here. Now as for Rohloff: again, no personal experience, but from what I've read in the way of test articles, you have all the bad features of IGH -- weight, cost, gears in the middle of the range that provide no meaningful change due to internal friction losses.

[RBW] BUMP AND PRICE REDUCTION: 61 cm Bleriot f/f/hs/bb
Bump and price reduction: 61cm Bleriot frame/fork/headset/BB now $650 shipped to lower 48. Description and pics below. Give this beautiful frameset a good home! From: Allingham II, Thomas J (WIL) Sent: Monday, October 13, 2014 12:16 AM To: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com Subject: FS -- 61 cm Bleriot f/f/hs/bb OK - here's another opp'ty: a nearly pristine 61 cm Bleriot. There a couple of very small chips and scratches, but the frame/fork looks nearly NOS. I bought this in 2010 from a list member but never completely built it up (though I mocked it up briefly as a 650B single speed, see pic below). Paid $675, plus shipping. Asking $675, shipped, for f/f/hs/bb. (Headset and bb are as new, as far as I can tell.) You can fit (I have been assured, on this list) Hetres and fenders in this frame; you can easily fit the new (and wonderful) Compass Loup Loup Pass 38mm with fenders, for sure. If you haven't seen a Bleriot in person, be assured it's a beautiful frameset - the subtly iridescent blue is gorgeous, and the graphics/decals/headbadge are as pretty as Grant et al. have ever produced, IMHO. Here's a pic of the frame/fork/hs/bb, with some other random parts: https://www.flickr.com/photos/37542512@N04/15333253329/in/set-72157626790331746 And for fun, here's the mockup: https://www.flickr.com/photos/37542512@N04/6505250287/in/set-72157626790331746 Plenty of other pics here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/37542512@N04/sets/72157626790331746/ Also willing to include any of the parts you see in the two pics, as follows: Lauterwasser bars, alloy -- $40 Brooks Slender grips -- $45 Tektro levers -- $25 Kalloy seatpost -- $15 All prices shipped. -- This email (and any attachments thereto) is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.

I myself like the single ring setup for all my riding, saving my inner for exceptional hills If you have an inner ring you are saving you do not have a single ring setup. Read it again. and choosing my rear cogs for sufficient range for most of my riding with close ratio cruising gears in the middle; both my road bike -- Ram and off road (= sandy flats, mostly) bike -- Fargo are set up like this. standard best practice for choosing gearing But gearing is always a compromise, even with 11 in the back, and even with a 3X11: for this last you give up friction shifting (I imagine) and mixing and matching components, not to mention low price and chain line, in case this matters to you. Perhaps the Rohloff is the least compromised system for off road and touring, all taken together, though even that compromises with cost and weight. From what I've read, the roadies using 11 speed like it and say it shifts even better than 9 or 10. There's no difference in chain line 11 vs 9 or 10. The compromise, if there is such, comes in when you consider cost, longevity and sensitivity to misadjustment. Although I have no personal experience with anything 9, from what I read there's no huge fall-off in longevity for 11 compared to 10. Bottom line: forgetting friction shifting (which in my opinion stops at 7) you're talking about state of the art derailleur drive trains here. Read it again. Now as for Rohloff: again, no personal experience, but from what I've read in the way of test articles, you have all the bad features of IGH -- weight, cost, gears in the middle of the range that provide no meaningful change due to internal friction losses. I might accept Best of a bad lot as a description, but certainly not least compromised.

Re: [RBW] These ones go to 11, again
Does anyone know the markup? If you can buy a 9 speed cassette for under $50, the cost to manufacture + associated costs should be no more than $40 or so; I wonder what it costs to mfr this 11, and to amortize all the related overhead and marketing costs? I realize that there will be variables, but $300 worth?

[RBW] Re: Splats question
I wear minimalist shoes (no heel, among other things). I had my gators made so the strap goes under my heel inside my shoes. No wear. I run and bike in them (they have a splat-like tongue on them). Anyway, if you attach this strap or a new strap (with elastic as part of it ideally) an inch or so up from the bottom lip of the spat on either side, then the splat hangs over the side of your shoe and the strap is inside your shoe. Trickier on and off though. These photos show them pretty well: https://www.flickr.com/photos/32311885@N07/13331394154/in/photolist-mj1U9r-mj3T2m-mJ5mV1-n5m5eH and https://www.flickr.com/photos/32311885@N07/13331007705/in/photolist-mj1U9r-mj3T2m-mJ5mV1-n5m5eH/ and https://www.flickr.com/photos/32311885@N07/13603278994/in/photolist-mj1U9r-mj3T2m-mJ5mV1-n5m5eH/ With abandon, Patrick On Monday, October 20, 2014 6:33:57 PM UTC-6, Beth H wrote: I boug a pair of Splats when they first came out almost three years ago.

Re: [RBW] double horizontal toptube Bombadil
Yeah, mine came like that too before the re-paint but the 27.2 was fine, never had to like jam it in or anything.

Re: [RBW] double horizontal toptube Bombadil
Scott, I have a 64m Bombadil from the first batch. The original online description said the new frame would take a 26.8 post, but mine takes a 27.2. The frame was built by Waterford in case that makes a difference.

[RBW] Re: double horizontal toptube Bombadil
It varies: initially they came with the 26.8, but were later w/ the 27.2, then had to switch back to the 26.8 when it went diagonal (they were actually drilling out the tubes, had to under-drill them w/ the smaller size to ensure enough meat in the tube); were slated to get more tubes ordered in to get back to 27.2. I had to order the 26.8 seatpost w/ it (RBW is the easiest place to find the Nitto 26.8 posts anyway). If you have a 27.2 to try, and it goes in w/o effort, I'd go w/ the 27.2 instead On Wednesday, October 22, 2014 2:33:04 PM UTC-4, Nanga Parbat wrote: Hello, Does anyone know the seatpost size for the double horizontal top tube Bombadil? 26.8?

Re: [RBW] Surly after Riv
Surly used to use cockroaches on their website as part of their branding. It was an instant turn-off for me. Horses for courses! On Friday, October 17, 2014 8:26:19 AM UTC-7, Jim Thill - Hiawatha Cyclery wrote: I find that the Surly/Riv overlap is pretty small. It seems like only 3 Surly models have a comparable Riv analog. Much of Surly's line is more or less unique to Surly, or was unique when first introduced. That said, the two brands share a lot of similar ideas about versatility, tire clearance, etc. And I never thought I'd see Surly do 650B, but now they are coming out with a 650B Straggler (down to 38 cm frames!!!). I see a lot here and elsewhere about Surly's marketing rubbing people the wrong way. I don't read many magazines or read many bike blogs that include ads, so I'm missing most of their formal marketing. Somebody told me awhile back that Riv appeals to the misfits of cycling, and I think that's right (and not in an insulting way). Much of GP's past writing, which reflects many Riv owners' attitudes in my experience, is about feeling alienated by modern cycling trends, and about digging in to resist dumb things that are done in the name of innovation or the perception of improved performance. Surly also appeals to alienated misfits, but in a different way. The Surly image seems to be more about having, um, unorthodox cycling needs (that are somehow related to drinking beer under bridges and having lots of tattoos) and designing a whole new category around it. While Riv frequently gets criticized for being stuck in the past, Surly frequently gets criticized for pushing products on us before we knew that we needed them. In the end, Surly and Riv, in their own ways, pull the broader bike industry in a better direction. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Cyclofiend has info on the Road Standard, but haven't been able to find anything on the earlier Road.
