[RBW] Re: Please help me with my Honjo fork crown problem please.
UPDATE: So I removed that twisty front fender, and, holding it out to look a it saw that the stays were a little off center in the eyelets, as one stay was further out to the side of fender than the other. I loosened eyelets and re-centered the stays, attached to dropouts and retightened stay eyelets, and then reattached at fender nut and everything from the fender nut back is in nice alignment now. I think I did it in that order. The nose still goes off a little to the drive side (just a smidgeon), but doesn't take much of a touch of a finger to center it. I am hoping to use the VO rando rack fender eyelet to keep it centered since there isn't much tension required. The diff at the rack eyelet to move the fender over is about 2/10ths of the center hammered hexagon divot on the center track of hammered hexagons on the fender. So I am within the same center divot on the fender whether I correct it or not. One thing I have noticed, despite the big clearance I have with these fenders, the stay eyelet nuts inside the fenders are only a few mm's from the tire (Hetres), and can't get further away. I already cut the screws all the way down to the end of the nuts, so the nuts are filled with the screws fully, so I can't go shorter. I am using all the clearance my frame and brake calipers allow. Maybe changing to a 38 Loup Loup will buy me some more clearance. I have 32 Cyprus tires that would get me massive clearance, I think. Not sure if I want to cut it so close with the 42 Hetres. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Hilsen Overhaul
I have not found the 105 to be the best choice for very small chainrings. The cage is too long to get low enough before it hits the stay. I have found the Campy Comp Triple to be much better. I think the IRD is molded after it. Enjoy the new ride. Michael On Wednesday, November 5, 2014 1:42:43 AM UTC-5, stonehog wrote: I am finishing up an overhaul on my '09 AHH. I've changed out a few things - replaced my Jack Brown Greens (measured 34.5mm when I pulled 'em) with Compass Stampede Pass rubber (measuring around 31.5mm). Edelux 2 to improve lighting from the original 1. On a lark, I put the old Mark's rack with the Plat rack extension on the back of the bike. I've come to realize that I don't like putting the weight up front on this guy due to wheel flop, but I still want to occasionally camp with this bike - a good platform is key. I also changed out most of the drivetrain: 1. dropped the 44T for a 42T to hopefully reduce the chance of breaking another front derailleur 2. went back to indexed 9-speed downtube shifters and rear 9-speed cassette - also retrying the Wipperman chain In an effort to reduce the (albeit light) occasional shimmy, I put a Miche needle bearing headset on. Initial test rides show are nice and snappy!!, but I have some work to do on the derailleur adjustments (rear) and will have to put the 105 front derailleur back on (tried an older Sachs) due to clearance on the tight Compass cranks. One more day and it'll be just right.

Re: [RBW] OT (grant-related, not Riv-related): lo-carb, high fat protein, ketosis, c.
The problem you describe, Addison, is not with meat itself, but with modern animal husbandry practices, which largely are the result of feeding animals grain rather than their natural diet of grass and wild foraging. Hormones and antibiotics and pesticides are not generally needed for grass fed animals, and they get to live life on the open range. Proper grazing practices actually help promote strong plant growth and prevent the arid-ization of land. These practices are easily and cheaply implemented in third world countries. You are right, that current grain-fed meat costs less than grass fed. This is because our nation has a highly subsidized (and thus false) grain economy. Get ride of grain subsidies and prices are at parody. With abandon, Patrick On Wednesday, November 5, 2014 6:35:02 AM UTC-7, Addison wrote: I'll throw one other variable into this conversation.

[RBW] Bike Theft at SF Embarcadero BikeLink Parking - thief wore a Riv cap !
Part Public Service Announcement, Part Call to Arms to find the culprit who brings Riv into disrepute by his actions. Here's the message from BikeLink, with pictures: http://hosted.verticalresponse.com/1144185/960027eede/544118083/df81acb839/ Brief outline from BikeLink: There was a theft over the weekend at the Embarcadero Bike Station. Three bikes were stolen. The thieves stole a BikeLink user's backpack and wallet near the end of the week and then used the stolen card to access the station. The card was not reported as lost by the owner. The card was blocked immediately upon discovering it was used by the thieves, but the methods they used to break locks were fairly sophisticated, so we'll be keeping an extra eye on things in case they try again. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Bike Industry Controlled by Grant Peterson
Nice article. So basically we are just going back to the All-Terrain Bikes that came out of Marin County in the late 70's and early 80's. I've done a bit of reading about the history of the MTB (as well as watching Klunkerz) and those guys (and a couple of girls) were really just doing exactly what Guitar Ted is talking aboutdeveloping bikes that could be ridden almost anywhere. The whole downhill/extreme terrain thing came about when the racers took over. I know that Repack was all about racing and was a huge influence but it seems those guys were doing a lot of what would now be called expedition biking. I've evolved to prefer just that type of bike and no longer have any interest in riding anything less than 55mm tires. When I picked up a 1984 MTB last year, I did some research on bikes from that era and in 1985 Bicycling put out a book and they were still referring to them as ATB's, which is actually much more appropriate than mountain bike.

I keep one foot on the ground, swing the other up and over the back. Works fine even with my large SaddleSack.

Re: [RBW] Riv for the wife
I'm with Patrick on this one...left foot on the ground, right leg up and over. Of course before my recent hip replacement it got to be bike on the ground, walk over it, then lift it back up - not bad with the Quickbeam, a pain with with a fully loaded Hunq with large Saddlesack and what-not. I dismount after stopping as well, same thing in reverse - no coasting dismounts for me these days.

If I've loaded it with tent, sleeping bag, and pad, then I just pop my foot over the top bar. I've done the pedal mount you describe, Jay, but it's more than my vertigo addled brain can handle. The good news for me is that living on the floor greatly and naturally increases flexibility, so it's easy on and off.

Jay Hartman: I, too, have asked that question: Namely, if I'm already slender and healthy and reasonably fit, would a low-carb, high-fat diet make me healthier still? Perhaps it would. And perhaps Grant's book will help to explain. In the meantime, I think Gary Taubes said something to the effect of this: If you're fat, carbs did it.

Re: [RBW] Riv for the wife
I stand on my left leg and swing my right leg over the back of the bike. Even with the Large Saddlesack or panniers, I don't have a problem with that. When I used to ride a tandem with a kid stoker, I learned to swing my leg over the handlebars instead, because stokids have to climb up on the bike while it is stopped, so he would already be seated on his saddle and I didn't want to kick him in the face. But now that I don't ride a tandem anymore I swing my leg to the rear. -- -- Anne Paulson It isn't a contest.

Re: [RBW] Re: Bike Industry Controlled by Grant Peterson
Anne, If you call riding 120 miles a day for 3 days just riding yes. Most of the riders that I know or read about were on that schedule. I was signed up to ride that event but figuring if I rode only 90 miles a day I would be behind most of the others and I would run into empty shelves at the few and infrequent tiny stores along the way so I decided to wait until next year. At least that was what the organizer said to discourage the 300+ riders that signed up. I'm signing up for next year and will give it a go. Others that I know went at a different time and did the ride over 5-6 days. More tour then the event.
