I can abide by that. My New Years has been stretch of nights at the hospital and commutes in the low 20°s, both certainly fuel one's appreciation of Maslov's hierarchy.

Re: [RBW] Re: New Hatchet Use
I have owned several pairs of Whites Smokejumpers, and have hiked many many miles in them. In my experience, when travelling over rough trails or cross country with heavy loads(50lbs) the heels seem to help with back and foot strain, especially when travelling down steep slopes. The high arch also helps prevent slips and falls on roots and branches much like in a stirrup. The only time I had to run away from a forest fire it was on flat ground so I can't vouch for that particular use.

[RBW] Re: Very cool bottle dynamo, CNC machined in Germany
Comment on batteries, I use CR123 Lithium batteries wherever possible, since they have very strong and flat output (voltage) over their useful life. Yes, they tend to just die when used up, no appreciable tapering off, but I carry spare or two and prefer the strong light they deliver from flashlights. If one uses a TwoFish rubber velcro lockblock, it's very easy to attach a lightweight and brilliant LED flashlight (such as quark mini from 4Sevens) and get useful illumination of the road ahead. Which is not to say that I'm not also considering a dyno for the bike - just how I'm rolling now, without dyno. - Andrew, Berkeley On Saturday, January 3, 2015 7:09:01 AM UTC-8, Andrew Marchant-Shapiro wrote: Battery lights work well, but there is a risk.

Re: [RBW] Re: shimano cx-70 canti question
Hi Aaron, I can't believe I'm admitting this in public, but last winter I wrote a little calculator to optimise my canti setup using the formulas suggested by Benno Belhumeur (circleacycles.com). I made some changes to the formula to take into account changes in canti angle caused by changing the spacer setup on the brake pad attachment. To sum up, on my Bombadil with CX-70 brakes and wide rims (30 mm OD) the medium spacers gave the most mechanical advantage. To adjust the brakes, I set the yoke as low as it would go. This gave me too much MA so I gradually raised the yoke until it felt right. Excuse the dorkery...!

[RBW] Re: A. Homer Hilsen as 650B cyclocross bike? Maybe, thanks to the new Bruce Gordon Rock and Roads
Did not realize the Hilsen had so much spacing. Sure looks ready for business. Have a great ride tomorrow then let us know how it went.

You're going to love those tires. I sure do (I have em in 700c). Great looking bike! Is that ritchey crankset a triple set up as a wide range double? If so what spindle length bb are you using? I have one and my chainline isn't great. On Saturday, January 3, 2015 2:06:02 PM UTC-8, Bill Lindsay wrote: I have been waiting semi-patiently for the Bruce Gordon 650B Rock and Roads to come in.

Kurt Yes it's a triple set up as a double. The common workaround is to use a 102mm JIS taper BB. On Saturday, January 3, 2015 5:44:54 PM UTC-8, Kurt Manley wrote: You're going to love those tires.

[RBW] Lumotec IQ Cyo T Premium Headlight FS
Tried this out for a short time and decided to go with an Edelux instead. Nice, bright LED headlight for use with a Schmidt, Shimano, or other dyno hub (or a Dymotec bottle generator). Includes a “daytime running light” feature that’s designed to make you more visible to cars. More detailed info here: http://www.longleafbicycles.com/collections/dynamo-headlights/products/busch-muller-lumotec-iq-premium-cyo-headlights This light goes for $113 + shipping at the web site above. I’m selling this one for $80 shipped in the US. The wire has been trimmed just slightly. It’s 22” long, and will work on your standard fork. Includes the original mount *and* a pair of the unusual Torx wrenches that are needed to adjust the angle of the headlight (BM doesn’t include them with the light). Everything is in excellent condition. —Eric N campyonly...@me.com www.campyonly.com www.wheelsnorth.org Blog: http://campyonlyguy.blogspot.com Twitter: @campyonlyguy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

I've been following the development and deployment of both the Rock and Road and the Soma Cazadero, and am eager to hear ride reports of each. I will have to decide between the two for my Stag once the Lyon fork arrives. So far the Cazadero reviews have been positive but at 42mm, are slightly less voluminous than the RRs. But I do like the solid center ridge of the Cazadero, which seems like it would ride smoother on pavement. Eager to hear your review of the RR-- especially how the tread feels on pavement.

Re: [RBW] Re: shimano cx-70 canti question
Wow, that is a serious case of dorkery. You may want to get that checked. :) Thanks for the info. I'll go with the mediums and feel it out. Changing the spacers later on if need be won't be too big of a job any way. Thanks, Aaron On Sat Jan 03 2015 at 3:03:48 PM Tom Harrop twhar...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Aaron, I can't believe I'm admitting this in public, but last winter I wrote a little calculator to optimise my canti setup using the formulas suggested by Benno Belhumeur (circleacycles.com). I made some changes to the formula to take into account changes in canti angle caused by changing the spacer setup on the brake pad attachment. To sum up, on my Bombadil with CX-70 brakes and wide rims (30 mm OD) the medium spacers gave the most mechanical advantage. To adjust the brakes, I set the yoke as low as it would go. This gave me too much MA so I gradually raised the yoke until it felt right. Excuse the dorkery...!
