The show seemed very well-attended, the aisles were crowded all day, both 
days. The usual gang of knuckleheads and hangers-on were in attendance, 
there were also some new builders from far-flung places like Portland, OR

Great pics – thanks especially for all the shots of the inspiring bikes in 
Peter Weigle’s booth!  I was having such a good time talking with Peter and 
Elton Pope-Lance and Peter White that I forgot to take out my camera!

The Chapman Cycles-made trailer on Elton’s Weigle is gorgeous.

Great pics, Paul... THANKS for posting. 

I really enjoyed the show, especially seeing my friend Tom Allingham and 
spending time talking to Peter White, Peter Weigle, and Elton Pope-Lance, 
whose booths were clustered next to each other, and loaded with a dazzling 
collection of bikes, a most awesome custom BOB-like trailer and the latest 
in lighting technology.  I got the rare opportunity to test ride the Tout 
Terrain Silkroad with the (way-cool) 18-speed Pinion drive (thank you, 
Peter) ... check it out on Peter's site... it was smooth and responsive 
(not at all clunky), and just had a great feel to it... a sweet ride 
indeed!  (I realize I must have spent too much time at the Weigle/White 
booths, because I even appear in one of your photos, Paul (I'm the guy with 
the  backpack with the Pumptrack sticker on it, blocking the view.. Sorry, 
I will leave now...) 

Peter Weigle's bikes (all of them) are always difficult to take your eyes 
off of... Elton's personal bike (a J.P. Weigle 650B creation) could be the 
finest-looking bike I've ever seen... The Bilenky collection (as usual) was 
a pleasure to behold.  A Rivendell booth would have been a most welcome 
site (just saying) 

Also had the opportunity to say hi to '*randonneurs-extraordineurs'* Ed 
Felker and Mary Gersema, whose faces and ride photos I've seen so many 
times on Flickr, yet never had the pleasure of meeting in person.  (Ed and 
I were wearing the same Bicycle Times jersey... I think there may be a 
selfie of us circulating out there somewhere... )

I also had the opportunity to test ride a Gazelle bakfiets cargo bike... 
WOW, it was so balanced and maneuverable, I was blown away.  I also rode 
another bakfiets (which fortunately I forgot the name as it had a most 
awful, floppy feel to it)... but the Gazelle was pure joy to ride.

At the Schwalbe tire booth I was instantly smitten by the the 700c x 50mm 
wide green and white Century tires... WOW... Need more 2-tone color 
combos... they just look boss... 

Funniest of all *(and I think I may need to have my head examined on this 
one)*... while what I feared most was leaving with a frame strapped to my 
back (I arrived on bike)...and I swore I was not there to buy... so 
instead, I ended up buying a Vitamix blender (at a bike show of all 
places!!) with an extra carafe!!!  Fortunately it's being shipped to me... 
that would have looked funny on my rack...

Shimano makes the perfect steering lock but usually distributes them only

enough steer tube to accommodate this device.

Those 20th-century guys were really on to something, no? In the paleo - 
times that we look upon wistfully, the expected lifespan was something like 
35 years! 

I don't mean to fan the flames of debate further - I see good things in 
both sides of both arguments, but for me humor is always the best medicine!

Re: [RBW] Re: Racks: fork barrel eyelet vs. canti braze-on mounting question.

2014-11-10 Thread Michael Hechmer
It's been a while since I set mine up, but what I remember is that you have 
to put a 15mm wrench on the spring tension bolt and hold it in place while 
tightening the rack.  This is not too different than the standard set up of 
Paul's except it requires two wrenches instead of a wrench and allen key. 
 Paul's setup is different and can be confusing until you grasp the 
simplicity of it.  It's kind of like going from Windows to OS X.

 I just recently mounted two racks (front and rear) to the canti studs on 
 my Stumpjumper.  The mount seems extremely solid (but these are the Nitto 
 Campee racks that mount at the dropouts and at the canti studs, the ones 
 that have removable pannier racks, so I would expect the mount to be 
 solid), but, boy, getting the racks mounted AND the brakes properly 
 adjusted was a tedious job, and I certainly wouldn’t want to be engaging in 
 incremental adjustment of the brakes hereafter.  Love the racks once they 
 were finally in place, though.

 I think practically, it makes no difference at all.  The amount of weight 
 that a small front rack has to hold is not enough to test the limits of the 
 strength of the two different triangulation geometries of the two mounting 
 approaches.
  
  
  
 Personally I think if the bike already has canti studs, the additional 
 barrels just make the upper fork area look cluttered and are somewhat 
 unnecessary.  On non-canti equipped bikes, the barrels make perfect sense. 
  However, on non-canti equipped bikes, the brake bolt hole is not available 
 for a direct bolt-up because there is a caliper brake installed. On those 
 bikes, the upper rack mount has to be a bracket or welded rack tang that 
 bolts to the existing brake caliper bolt.

 But I also see some racks, that have struts that mount to the cantilever

 Which type of mounting method is stronger and more durable? To barrels, or

[RBW] Revelate Pika bag: dimensions and reviews?

2014-11-10 Thread Patrick Moore
In the ongoing search for the ideal seat bag, I came across the Pika which
looks as if it might have the best of both (small and big) worlds; and it
comes in red. Does anyone own a Pika? If so, can she or he give me the
dimensions both expanded to the maximum and cinched as small as possible?

If anyone has one to sell, I might be interested, particularly if it is
red. My Jandd Mountain Wedge III is too hugely huge for my purpose and I
*might* be persuaded to add that to the bid side of the trade -- I
realize that the Revelate is 2X the cost of the Jandd.

'Nother question: The Minihaha small saddlebag is 9.5 X 6 X 6. Can one
get a large Riv waterbottle (a wee bit over 10 at the top of the spout)
into one of these without forcing things?

I expect that the Revelate design is better for my needs, but just in case
...

Thanks.

[RBW] Bombadil final build--for now.

After realizing that I do not like the moustache handlebars, I changed up 
my Bombadil to what will be its final build for now.  Albatross bars, full

Forgot to bring my camera on the test ride, so only a shot in my partially 
finished basement, 

https://www.flickr.com/photos/78462625@N07/15574833968/

I may go back to a wide double...actually a 1x set up appeals too. 

Bombadil rides great with the Albatross barsperfect for shopping, will 
be looking to take it out longer tomorrow perhaps more pics.

Agree, I also read another theory that the caveman/paleo lifespan was 
actually much longer than the 25-35 years that some people believe. The 
short lifespan included many who died at birth or by the time they were 
like 5 years old from disease or malnuitrition. If you eliminate that 
segment, it was speculated that the caveman could have a lifespan of about 
65-70 years. Now, this is still shorter than the current average for modern 
man which I recently heard was something like 78.1 years, but not 
substantial like the common misperception of 25-35 years of age. Good Luck!

[RBW] Re: Update: Re: Geometry, climbing, what's going on? (Problem solved and a question)

2014-11-10 Thread dougP
It would be interesting to hear from a professional bicycle designer on 
this point:

I know it's hard to design small frames without design 
compromises; is one of the compromises putting the rider too far back 
on the bike? 

Based on my 5' 2 tall wife's experiences with a few bikes, small bikes 
with 700c wheels don't work well at low speed.  She rode a low end MTB with 
26 wheels that climbed quite well at walking speed.  Then she moved on to 
a mid-grade sport-touring bike with 700c wheels that was considerably 
lighter but took more attention when climbing.  This bike is similar to a 
58 cm in our family and the head tube angle of the smaller one is visibly 
more slack.  A few years ago she got a 47 cm Atlantis with 26 wheels.  She 
has climbed long grades with panniers and noticed how much easier it is 
compared to her previous bikes.  Both leg effort  general control are 
superior and she's quite confident with the Atlantis.  

Both the Atlantis and the old MTB have 44 cm chainstays and the 700c 
wheeled sport tourer has 42 cm chainstays.  So being further back may be a 
factor but likely it's a combination of things.  My thought is the front 
end has a lot to do with the feel of the bike especially at low speeds.  It 
seems the slack head tube angle would result on more wheel flop for the 
rider to deal with.  On a steep climb where the front end is lightly 
weighted, a floppy front wheel could cause the rider to lose confidence in 
the bike's stability.  

Note that I have no qualifications, just observations  opinions.  It would 
be interesting to hear from someone who does this professionally.

 able to climb. 

 I figured out the problem: my weight was too far back. I dropped the 
 handlebars, and (as I thought) moved the saddle forward. That helped a 
 little. Then I replaced the offset seatpost with a straight seatpost. 
 While doing that I noticed that instead of moving the saddle all the 
 way forward, I had moved the seatpost all the way forward on the 
 saddle- so I had moved the saddle *back*. Oops. Moving it forward 
 solved the problem completely. There are plenty of super steep dirt 
 trails that I can't climb, but I am able to climb normally steep hills 
 with no problem. Hurray! 

 And that brings me to a question about frame design for short people. 
 One of my riding partners is 5 feet tall. She's slender, and she 
 climbs like a rocket, much faster than I can. But, oddly, even though 
 we have the same low gears, she has trouble climbing the super steep 
 roads that I love to tackle. She's afraid of them, says she can't 
 balance. I know it's hard to design small frames without design

[RBW] Polling what's the best 650b touring tire?

2014-11-10 Thread Lynne Fitz
my first tires were Nifty Swifties, and the tires just before these were Soma 
Xpress.  I'd say they are about the same in quickness, but the Somas are 
cushier.  About the same for durability.  I retired both of them before they 
were done, and could pull either off the hooks in the garage and remount them.  
Not touring specifically, just randonneuring.

Re: [RBW] Re: OT (grant-related, not Riv-related): lo-carb, high fat protein, ketosis, c.

2014-11-10 Thread Eric Norris
If a high percentage of cave people died before age 5, then the “average age” 
could in fact be 25-35 years. The average lifespan is basically the sum of 
everyone’s age at death divided by the number of people. Today’s average 
lifespan of 78.1 is in large part the result of more people living beyond 
infant/childhood. (Also not to be overlooked, the high percentage of women who 
died in childbirth).

Of course, you could argue that a caveman living to the age of 65 or 70 is 
evidence that whatever they were eating was keeping them alive for a long time. 
But the fact that cave people got to be more or less as old as modern folks 
doesn’t mean that the “common misperception” of a shorter average lifespan is, 
in fact, a misperception. It’s probably correct, on average.  

Apparently, this pattern (many people dying before they became adults) lasted 
well into the middle ages:

Re: [RBW] Revelate Pika bag: dimensions and reviews?

When it's cinched small, it's about 12 long. Expanded, it's about 21

2014-11-10 Thread Michael Hechmer
What makes for a good touring tire?  And do we want a tire that is optimal 
for the days we are actually touring or best for our all around needs? 
 What kind of touring?  Where?

My experience with tires has been that urban environments destroy tires 
faster than rural ones do. Except maybe in the SW, where goat heads 
puncture damn near everything. In general, road debris destroys tires way 
faster than a heavy load does or even rocks, and that debris is usually way 
more prevalent in urban areas than rural roads,. Bad luck can strike any 
tire so we always need to be prepared.  Our tandem has Schwalbe Marathon 
Racers (26x1.6), underneath a fully loaded bike that is well over 400 lbs. 
 This is a relatively light tire which serves our needs best on a day to 
day basis but holds up quite well on tour.

Commuting creates the most difficult environment for tires.  When I 
commuted I wanted bullet proof, to hell with rolling resistance.  Touring, 
piece of cake for most tires.

 the
  gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and
  though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not
  money, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor,
 and
  though I give my body to be burned, and have not money, it profiteth me
  nothing. Money suffereth long, and it is kind; money envieth not; money
  vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave unseemly, seeketh
 not
  her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; rejoiceth not in
  iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; beareth all things, hopeth all
 things,
  endureth all things. . . . And now abideth faith, hope, money, these
 three;
  but the greatest of these is money.

[RBW] Is the Bleriot/Honjos/ Hetres clearance I have not enough?

2014-11-10 Thread lungimsam
Hello,

I recently installed H50 Honjos on the Bleriot with my Hetres, as you may 
recall from an earlier post.

I have between what looks like 1-2cm clearance all around. Tightest are 
under the sidepull brakes. That's the max I can get. Tires spin fine, no 
rubbing. No rattling.

But on the two commutes I did this week, I repeatedly heard pebbles and 
rocks rattling through the fenders as I rode over them.

Does this indicate that the clearances are not ample?
Do I need to go to a narrower/smaller tire?

I have SKS Longboards and Hetres on my Sam bike and I rarely hear rocks 
going through, though the clearances look similar to what I have on the 
Bleriot.

I'm so sorry. I did have a friend recover her stolen road bike at the Laney 
flea market in Oakland about 3 weeks ago. She spotted it, walked up with 
her police report, told them it was hers, and walked it away. Bring the 
report with you and you should be able to pick it up from any of the local 
flea markets without incident. Couldn't hurt to bring a (larger) friend 
with you as well.

 Here's the deets:

 Stolen the night of Saturday, November 8 sometime between 7pm - 6am from 
 my front porch in North Berkeley (just south of the North Berkeley BART)

 *2009 50cm Rivendell Rambouillet*

 That famous blue with white at joints

 steel, lugged frame

 10cm Nitto stem  

 Nitto Noodle drop handlebars with dark blue tape
 Bar-end shifters
 Rear Nitto rack

 Black foam saddle
 Bento box black canvas pouch on top bar
 Front light + rear light


 ...the love of my life

 Reward $$$ if any information. No questions asked.

 Thanks!

 PLEASE NOTE: The bike doesn't look identical to the photo. The handlebar 
 tape is now dark blue, there are front  rear silver SKS fenders, there is 
 a rear rack, and black foam saddle.

Hi Michael, thanks so much for your kind words and the personal Rambouillet
love. They are terrific bikes; indeed, such a lame pitty that these things
can happen. Enjoy your bike in all its glory!

I'll keep the list posted.

 Monica, I'm really sorry to read your post.  I have a blue  white Ram and
 would feel violated and devastated to have it stolen.  Hopefully, the very
 uniqueness of the bike will make hiding it or selling it impossible.  It's
 hard to live in a world where people think they can make their life better
 by stealing from others.

 someone's Hillborne when thieves tried to sell it to them.
 So they do come back, don't lose hope!

Thanks, David, Hugh, Patrick, Patrick M. and all.
Somehow just announcing it to the group brings a certain relief.

I'll surely keep everyone posted.

Be well and keep it safe!

Thanks Andrew. Such great tips. At your suggestion I went down to Karim on
my lunch break. He didn't have it but I told him about my bike. Showed him
pics and gave him my number. Here's to hoping!

I'll keep folks posted.

 Monica, so sorry to hear this, I'm in Berkeley, too. The first place I
 would check is Karim on Telegraph just north of Ashby. A shady place that
 gets stolen bikes brought in for cheap every day. Also, check the Ashby
 BART flea market this weekend, many riders have found their stolen bikes
 for sale there.
