My wife puts it in with the dishes. We figure everything in the dishwasher is

 clean my bike helmets when they get sweaty and gross: the dishwasher!

 My helmet now gets washed and disinfected every week or so. It keeps my 
 wife’s sensitive nose happy, and I like having a clean helmet. 
 
 Despite the soaps and high temperatures in the dishwasher, there have been 
 no ill effects to the helmet that I can detect. The padding is still firmly 
 attached to the shell. 
 
 To save energy, we don’t use the “dry” feature on the dishwasher, so the 
 helmet air dries after going through the regular wash cycle.

Re: [RBW] AHH in Riv Reader?

[James Warren]

I can look, but I when the AHH was being developed, the announcements about it came kind of piecemeal in the Reader. I'm pretty sure there was not a big spread like there was for many other models. I do remember one that had a nice shot of the prototype bike (which I believe is Grant's personal bike still) with logo being tested out in paper on the downtube.

In 2006 or so, there was a lot of Saluki stuff going on, and then came the word that there would be 700C Saluki in the big sizes for the bigger people. I think because of this, there a slightly diminished feel in the air of "new model."

Then people started getting AHH's and riding them, and the excitement of "new model" really picked up in 2007, because the model is so fricking awesome.

Zefal HPX.  Have used them well over 30 years now.  The one on my Atlantis 
is at least 20 years old.  I also have a Mt Zefal that I bought 25 years 
ago.  It's a larger barrel for big volume tires  is on my MTB.  Note that 
under TT pump mounting works better with retention.  Jandd used to make a 
nice velcro strap with a rubber cushioning pad that fit between the pump  
TT.  But any random piece of Velcro  a segment of worn-out tire would 
work.  Lots of the Riv photos show kerchiefs doing the same job.

In other words, does *virtually no great tires *mean Zero?  Or One?  Or Two?

Virtually does allow for one or two great tires.  However, I think we 
can surmise based on some passing comments in a recent BQ article that 
Jan himself sees room for improvement (i.e., bringing the 559 offerings 
up to the same standard as the other Compass sizes) so perhaps they'd 
best be considered as very good rather than great.  It's even 
possible to view [reading between the lines, to be sure] recent comments 
in his blog regarding his policy of not commenting on new products 
before they are issued as a hint that such improvements may in fact be 
in the offing.




When Tim said Grand Bois, I assumed he /meant/ these two Compass models.


I'm confident that's what he meant, too.

[RBW] FS: near-mint Atlantis frameset and 26 Mavic/chris king wheelset

[Z]

Hello group,

I'm reluctantly selling my recently-acquired 56 cm Atlantis frameset and 
26 wheelset.   I was hoping to turn these into a whole bike, but it wasn't 
meant to be.

Here's the 411:

- 56 cm Rivendell Atlantis, Waterford-built.  Only blemishes are from 
previous owner fitting wheels (scratches at dropouts) and from me fitting a 
seatpost (*really* tiny nick in paint at seatpost clamp).   Never been 
built up or ridden.  Still packed as if it had come straight from Walnut 
Creek.  Includes installed FSA headset and front/rear brake cable hangers.

- 26 Mavic XC717 rims, 32 hole, black with ceramic coated side wall.  
Laced to silver Chris King classic hubs (135 mm rear spacing).  Rims show 
signs of use and wear but true and in good condition.  Hubs are 
particularly shiny.  No skewers.

$1600 for the frameset, $200 for the wheelset or $1750 for the package 
(shipped).

Please contact me off-list for photos or additional info.  I'll probably 
soon be selling some Rivvy-style parts and an almost-complete Rawland Stag 
(size Large) as well.

Thanks,

Zach

[RBW] High Intensity Interval Training

['doc' via RBW Owners Bunch]

With the other thread focusing on the diet aspects of EBDJ, I though I'd 
chime in with a testimonial about the exercise perspective.  Due to 
schedule, I haven't been riding much, but took up HIIT last fall after 
watching Michael Mosley's BBC show The Truth About Exercise.  Grant 
pretty much takes the same approach.
Due to bloodwork I get with regular checkups and for work provided health 
care, I was able to do a before and after HIIT comparison, and have been 
rather impressed.  The only change I've made is to start taking a Fish 
Oil/Omega 3 supplement to get my HDL a little higher.  Here is a link 
https://gspiess.wordpress.com/2014/12/10/my-experience-with-hiit/ to my 
blog about the specifics.
My next challenge is to decrease my carb intake and cut out as much sugar 
as possible to address the extra pounds I'm carrying.  I have had success 
in the past with both Atkins and intermittent fasting (on separate 
occasions), but they can be a challenge when living in a carb filled 
household.

You never know what you will find in the used market. 
I have been meaning on posting this Miele lugged touring frame on craiglist 
or can bring it to the Westminster bike swap.
About a 57cm I think. Made in Canada, fairly long horizontal dropouts, 
Cantis and full touring braze-ons, including mid fork mounts. Slack angles. 
Room for 35mm tires and fenders.
About $120 for DC to Richmond, Va area pickup.

I like full size frame pumps and mount mine along the left chainstay. I 
really like blackburn, but they discontinued it - errr!  I've tried the 
Topeak full frame pump and it works great, until it doesn't.  Water gets 
inside the handle and rusts out the spring. Not pretty. Never used a Zefal, 
but apparently, it is the one to get based on how others have responded. 
 
Good Luck!

 My helmet now gets washed and disinfected every week or so. It keeps my

 Despite the soaps and high temperatures in the dishwasher, there have 
 been no ill effects to the helmet that I can detect. The padding is still 
 firmly attached to the shell. 

 To save energy, we don’t use the “dry” feature on the dishwasher, so the 
 helmet air dries after going through the regular wash cycle.

 predictor of loss of brain function. The book Grain Brain explores this 
 very well.

 With abandon,

Re: [RBW] FRAME..PUMP?

[Scott Henry]

Not an under the top tube, but I have been using the PDW Big Sliver for
about a year now.
https://www.ridepdw.com/goods/inflation/big-silver
Its small enough to hide out of the way under a bottle, but its also big
enough to properly inflate a tube with less than the usual 5 stokes of
a minipump.

Re: [RBW] FRAME..PUMP?

[Tim Gavin]

I also use a Zefal for my two bikes that have pump pegs under the top tube.


I use a Lezyne Micro Floor Drive pump clipped under the bottle cage for my
other three bikes.  I got spare brackets so each bike has one.

The Micro Floor Drive is like an itsy-bitsy floor pump, with a hose and a
small stand.  It works for schraeder or presta.  I have the HP model ($45)
which works great for even my fat bike tires.  The HPG model ($58) has a
pressure gauge in the hose.

Congratulations on the hip rehab and intake overhaul. Nothing like results 
to gauge your effort.

 I recall about a year ago I was getting really tired of all this talk of 
 primal/paleo/low carb/let's eat better talk around here. In fact i was more 
 or less avoiding the topic altogether. Can anyone imagine why? :-)

 Then last April I had my left hip replaced (documented here to some 
 degree) and decided that as long as I had to up my non-cycling exercise, 
 walking, stretching, and core stuff suggested through PT, I might as well 
 take off some of the lard I was carrying around.

 My surgery was at the end of April and in May I was recovering and 
 frankly, eating garbage as a treat for my recovery (not a good way to 
 recover I might add - now). Still it was on my mind. Once I was fully 
 mobile I decided I'd try eating at least a bit healthier and stopped 
 bringing sweets home, switched to salads at work, and cut way back on carbs 
 (not in line with any particular plan, just cutting back). 

 I noticed some improvement in both health and weight and started paying a 
 bit more attention to the threads on the topic here. I made a few more 
 modifications but still was only losing weight only gradually. 

 When Grant's book came out I figured, why not? At least I would supporting 
 him and such. Well it made sense to me and as I'd already cut way back on 
 carbs it wasn't particularly difficult physically to go further (though 
 mentally I still wanted a bit of pie from time to time).

 That's when the weight more or less started falling away and my health 
 improved noticeably, not just to me but to other folks as well.

 I've lost about 50 lbs. since surgery, much of it in just the last three 
 months, though not an unhealthy pace. My energy is great and I don't bonk, 
 at least not on anything shorter than 60-65 miles (haven't gone longer than 
 that recently). 

 I just got blood work back and compared it with numbers from fall with my 
 doctor yesterday. He was very impressed and happy that at least one of my 
 patients takes my advice. I didn't tell him that while, yes, he had 
 recommended very low carbs, my change had little to do with his advice and 
 more to do with a bunch of folks who ride bicycles a lot. In any case I can 
 report:

 1. My blood sugar A1C number which had been 'sweet' though not diabetic is 
 now just high normal. I expect that will continue to drop as does my doctor 
 given what I've told him. Since the A1C is a long term number, my drop 
 doesn't represent just a change for that particular hour or time of day, 
 but rather a real change over time. 

 2. My overall cholesterol was up, but still very safe. However my HDL went 
 up about 50% and my LDL only a little so my overall risk factor has 
 dropped. My doctor was not concerned about overall numbers and was very 
 pleased about the changes. 

 3. I've lost as much weight in the last three months as I did in the 
 previous six. In addition, during those first six I was depriving myself of 
 stuff that now I don't even think about.

 My friends have all noticed the change (losing the equivalent of a six 
 year old around your waist is, um, noticeable). In fact a couple of my 
 friends bought me new shirts in smaller sizes for Christmas saying I really 
 needed to change my wardrobe. 'm still holding off on shopping because I'm 
 not at my goal yet and don't want to spend a lot 'in-between.' 

 To top it off my riding had really improved. As I said I really don't bonk 
 now (at least not under 65 miles). And after training for years with a 50 
 lb. weight around my waist and a bad hip, hills are much, much easier, even 
 fun. My overall speed (never really a concern) is up over distance as well. 

 My good friend who has always pulled away from me going up hills is now in 
 my mirror (we don't race, but have always agreed that we need to ride up 
 hills at whatever pace works best for us). He's also acquired Grant's book 
 but admits he hasn't really followed directions as well as he might though 
 now that he's seen my results I suspect he'll pay more attention.

 Well that's my story. I sort of wish I'd payed attention earlier but it's 
 true that we're never ready till we're ready. :-) 

 Aloha, Bob

 Yeah, it took me a couple of years to be able to go full time ketogenic. 
 I possibly could have shifted sooner, but it took my body a while to 
 strengthen it's ketogenic capacity to the point I could go full time. From 
 all I've read, unless you have a medical reason to go full time ketogenic, 
 low carb and occasional intermittent fasting is a brilliant way to go 
 (that's what I did for two years to get to full time ketogenic -- have no 
 idea what I was doing as there was so little info on details of how to do 
 it).
