[RBW] Re: Stolen rivs in seattle

Michael:

Thanks for the update.  It sounds like the San Marcos is still in the area 
but maybe in hiding.  Another insurance tip is to check your coverage to 
see if it's full replacement value or cost less depreciation.

Re: [RBW] RE: FS: Paul Racer Brakes

[Tim Gavin]

Patrick-

My '97 Riv Road should be essentially identical to yours.  
So, the Racer should have the correct reach.

I assume you have the Racer Medium. You should be able to distinguish which 
model you have by looking at the Paul Components web site.

FYI, mine will fit no wider than a 650 x 38 tire; the fork legs and chainstays 
are too narrow for a fatter tire. I find the new Pari-Moto tires to be 
reliable, very fast, and a great price.
I appreciate my Riv so much more with these wider tires; I don't like the ride 
of 700 x skinny at my weight (225#).

The Tektro R559/Silver brakes also work well, but they intrude upon the fender 
space.

The biggest concern with a 650b conversion of a Riv Road is the low bottom 
bracket.
With 170 cranks, I can scrape a pedal if I crank while leaning in a turn (so I 
don't do that).  The low BB means lower stand over, though, which is nice when 
I dismount.

I hope the conversion works out and let's you appreciate your Riv even more. 
Best of luck!

Cheers,
Tim

[RBW] Re: Stolen rivs in seattle

[Michael Ullmer]

I wanted to post a big thank you to everyone on the list who responded and 
sent kind messages along. It felt great to have a community of people who 
knew and appreciated what it meant to have TWO Rivs stolen. A LOT of time 
was spent putting these together, piece by piece, and to people like my 
insurance company they were just two "bikes."

As many of you saw, the Hillborne was recovered thanks to Aarons Bicycle 
Repair, less a Mark's Rack, Wald Basket and a Tubus Nova Low-rider rack 
that the thieves literally ripped off (pieces of the struts are still 
attached to the front eyelets). It also sustained quite a bit of paint 
damage and a dent on the right chainstay just off the bottom bracket shell.

The San Marcos was actually seen a few hours after my Hillborne was 
recovered only a couple blocks from my house. The rider was confronted by 
someone who knew it was stolen after looking at Bike Index. The rider 
claimed that he "tried" to get it back to the owner (me) by posting it on 
CL, but he definitely did not. The rider got confrontational and took off 
and I haven't heard anything about it since. I'm still hoping though, it 
was a great build that I was pumped to have ready for this summer's riding.

The insurance company is going to cover a portion of the loss which is 
great. Not sure when that's all going to come through, but I'm in no rush. 
Not sure what I'll replace it with yet, an Ocean Air Rambler sounds very 
tempting.

If I learned anything from this, make sure you write down serial numbers! 
If you have more time, take pictures and make a spreadsheet with details 
about your builds. 

Again, thanks everyone for your support!

Re: [RBW] FS: Paul Racer Brakes

[Tim Gavin]

Racers have the correct reach for a 700c to 650b conversion --- if your
700c Riv had relatively tight clearance.
For example, my Riv Road Standard barely was designed for short-reach
brakes and barely cleared a 700 x 28 tire.  The 57-67 mm reach of the Paul
Racer is perfect for this application.
If your Riv has the clearance for a tire larger than a Jack Brown, then the
Racers may not have enough reach.

To be sure, you can measure your Riv.
http://www.sheldonbrown.com/calipers.html
Add 19 mm* to your measured reach. (*difference in radius between 700c/622
and 650b/584)
If this number is between 57 and 67 mm, the Racer should work.

FYI, the Tektro R559/Silver brake has 55-73 mm reach (a bit more if you

Saw the title, came to help, then realized maybe not so much...

My v-brakes are on a bike w/ fat 650b, I do have fenders and v-brakes 
together, but not the TRP's, have Pauls instead.

Haven't tried the TRP's, sorry...

Another way to eliminate knocking the pump loos when you carry the bike up

[RBW] Re: Frame pump placement - Rear triangle possible?

[Shoji Takahashi]

Sean Hipkin, formerly of Rivendell, had his frame pump in the rear 
triangle. There are a few pics of his Legolas:
http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/staff9.htm

It doesn't look like he rigged a pump peg, but did use a strap. I tried 
this on my AHH with a Zefal pump from Riv, and it seemed fine. I haven't 
ridden it a lot like that, though.

Good luck!

Re: [RBW] Re: New build photos of my Riv Allrounder

[dougP]

Some of those photos do look familiar, esp the Nevada trip.  You've loaded 
your A/R down as much as I have my Atlantis, judging by the Oregon trip 
photo.  Another tribute to the versatility of Grant's designs.  So yeah, 
I'll bet the A/R is about a pound lighter than the Atlantis.  For that you 
get a livelier ride un-loaded & decent handling with a load.  No way am I 
taking pix of my speedo at 50 MPH!  

After much fiddling about with weight on my Atlantis, I'm convinced it's 
more about placement & balance than "how much".  People do serious tours 
with Hilsens & Hillborns with pleasant reports.  OTH, I can load my 
Atlantis to handle like a noodle.  Rivendells overlap nicely to span a 
spectrum of uses, depending on how they're set-up.  Your variety of 
configurations is evidence of how far you can go with one bike.

It would eliminate knocking the pump loose when you carry the bike up

[RBW] Re: New build photos of my Riv Allrounder

[dougP]

Addison:

That is a beautiful build.  Nothing like a full tear down to allow you to 
clean all those hard to reach places.  

One question:  you mention 26 lbs weight (carbon assisted, chuckle).  Seems 
kinda light, if that includes the rack & basket.  I recall weighing my 58 
cm Atlantis one time while re-assembling after a trip, and getting 
something like 26-27 lbs before I put on any racks.  It would have had 
35-40 mm road touring tires.  An old Rivendell flyer or reader mentioned 
the Atlantis F was roughly a pound more than their other bikes of 
comparable size.

On the fender question, it looks great as-is.  Given that you have fendered 
bikes, I'd keep it as-is.  Just pulled the fenders off my Atlantis after El 
Nino decided to pass us by.  Maybe next winter.

[RBW] Kojaks vs supremes

[Joe Bernard]

I got a flat with Kojaks on my Bike Friday the first month I owned it. 
Regardless of what the claim is, they look and feel like skinny race tires to 
me.

[RBW] New Nitto front rack?

[Bill Lindsay]

I was doing some price comparison of Nitto stuff, and I usually just search 
"Nitto" at both Ben's Cycle and at Alex's to get a feel for things.  While 
scanning Ben's I saw this front rack that I had never seen before.  It's 
called the F25.  

http://www.benscycle.com/p-25908-nitto-campee-f25-lowrider-front-rack.aspx



That's got some cute details that I havent seen before.  It's got the 
splayed out shape that Francophiles like, but it's got a tall thin shape to 
fit more normal panniers.  No removable lowriders and a completely flat, 
tombstone free top platform.  There are no light mount positons to be seen, 
which might be a bummer, and I can't tell from the photo how it avoids 
interfering with the front QR skewer, but it's always fun to see a Nitto 
Rack that I've never seen before.

Re: [RBW] Re: New build photos of my Riv Allrounder

[Mark Reimer]

I'm not sure of all the nuances, but I believe the all rounder never came
with 700c wheels, which the 58cm and larger Atlantis frames do. Beyond
that, I think they are really quite similar. I wonder if the tire clearance
is the same? Atlantis can fit 2.35 slicks.

I'll try my best. I do not have an Atlantis, but my fellow Winnipegger Mark 
R. does have one. My 1997 A/R was Waterford-built w Reynolds 753/531 
(forks), and was meant to be a do all. It is a more refined version of the 
X0-1 which I also have. Both are 26" wheel sizes. I favour the moustache 
bar cockpit  .. . Addison's A/R looks like it might be a later 
version...I'd like to say 1998 or 99 which was a little more customized. 
I feel that the Atlantis is a more robust version of the A/R. in that it 
can do a lot of things well and it's a very rugged and  good-looking bike. 
I'm glad I got to see it in the flesh, finally.

[RBW] Re: FS: 58 Simple One, $1450

[Deacon Patrick]

Michael, that makes perfect sense. One bike and I'd be on the Hunq also (I 
was for a couple years before the SS bug bit to the point of no return!). 
Yes, every bike is a single speed if you don't shift, but I tested that out 
before buying my QB and the extra noise of the drivetrain, the simple 
knowledge that I could shift -- it is not the same experience -- though for 
many it is close enough.

With abandon,
Patrick

Deacon,Thank you. I'm sure that is solid advice. A Hunqapillar is just what I

Portland, which is mainly very flat, but I figure I could do both with the big 
bike. We live in a small condo (very), so there is no room inside. Our building 
has some bike storage, but its crowded and I wouldn't like to hog too much 
space. Trying to find one bike that could do it all. 

It would also make the $2,000 price tag for a Hunq frame easier to justify.

[RBW] Kojaks vs supremes

[Jay in Tel Aviv]

Looking at Schwalbe's website, Kojaks are rated 4 for puncture protection vs 
4.5 for Supremes. OTOH the Kojaks' protection is provided by a double layer of 
nylon described as very good for a fast sporty tire. Are they really almost as 
protected as the Supremes? Thinking about trying them for fun on my commuter 
but I really don't want (any) flats.

Riv in the first place. I love how the 26" all rounder's look. Just so 
perfect. Great job!

[RBW] Frame pump placement - Rear triangle possible?

[Pierre]

I am thinking getting a full-size frame pump. I have a 59 cm Hilsen.

I am wondering if any frame pump would fit nicely & tightly on the rear 
triangle (non drive side, on seat stay)?

(looking at pictures, it surely looks nice + I think my S couplers may 
get in the way if placed on TT).

[RBW] Re: Cazadero lumpy bumpy

[Neil Doran]

I've had this issue before. Once it was resolved by going to high pressure 
to make sure the bead is properly seated, but you already tried that.

I blame the tube. I've had more than a little bad luck with faulty tubes 
that will have a massive bulge at a thin spot. Also had this problem, for 
some reason, repeatedly using Schwalbe 650B tubes within a Panaracer on a 
VO rim. Switched to 26" tubes and the fit was perfect, with no more hop.

I'd try a new (name brand) 26" tube. Good luck, it's an annoying problem to 
have.

Great build!

If I may make one suggestion: throw some shellac on those VO cork grips. I 
rode those grips w/o shellac for about 8 months and they started cracking a 
quickly fell apart. Shellac may help that... and they'll probably look even

[RBW] Re: Nitto Campee front rack advice: Center-mounting a light

[Michael Hechmer]

I use this rack with the small Arkel bags.  These fit just fine.  They did 
not work with the small racks that RBW sells.  With the pannier frames off 
the weight differential with other small racks is insignificant.

I agree that a center mounted light makes more sense but there are also 
good reasons for choosing the left side.  I wouldn't make a deal breaker 
out of that.

Re: [RBW] Centerpulls vs. cantis

[Michael Hechmer]

I agree with everything Steve has written but can add a few more variables 
to think about, along with sharing personal experience.  In 45 years of 
adult riding and wrenching I have owned and used a lot of brakes. 
 Currently I have Paul's Racer Ms on the Ram, Neo-Retros on the Saluki, 
Tecktros on the Trek and posted Racers on the Bilenky tandem, but am 
switching these to cantis while getting that frame powder coated. Here's 
what I like about each.

CP brakes sit above the fender and so the pivots stay a lot cleaner than 
cantis, which sit next to the wheel, below the fender.  Living on a dirt 
road this helps reduce my clean/maintenance work.  The Racer M's on the Ram 
have very good stoping power and offer better fender clearance than Shimano 
dual pivot sidepulls but not much better than old single pivots like the 
Campy Grand Comps.

The posted racers on the tandem also offer good stopping power but it is 
hard to compare with a single, since the weight & distribution are so 
radically different. (Our tandem, loaded for inn to inn travel, weighs 
about 440 lbs.)   The Racers are specked for 55 mm fenders but I have fit 
the VO 60 mm under them. The brakes are compact and travel easily when I 
disassemble the tandem for travel, which cantis don't do so well. However 
these brakes just barely open enough to clear an (actual) 38mm tire.  Above 
that would require deflating the tire.  That's why I am switching to 
cantis, to use a 44 mm tire.

The Neo-Retros have phenomenal stopping power, the best opening, 
(especially with road pads instead of the long V brake pads they typically 
come with.) but they do get pretty grimy if you ride in a lot of rain. 
 This doesn't affect their power but I suspect wears the pivots.

I dispute the assertion that all cantis are hard to set up.  There is a 
small learning curve with the Paul's, since the process is different but 
after that it is very easy and the on-line instructions are clear.  I have 
owned Shimano and Tectro cantis, both of which were annoyingly hard to deal 
with.  I have also owned a pair of hi profile Di-Compe's which were easy to 
set up but had sub-par braking power.

Paul's brakes are expensive (although not as expensive as Compass) but all 
the wear parts are available at very reasonable prices.  If I were 40 years 
younger and just starting to collect good road bikes, good cantis would be 
my first choice with maybe disks getting a look see.

[RBW] Re: Hat quest

[Deacon Patrick]

Ha! Actually, Ron, while I hate to take away your triumph, it was more the 
rock to toe encounters on trails combined with the frustration of having to 
pick the right side of the pedal (with our without spikes) that has me in 
shoes for every ride. However, I've found a pair of sandals that should 
work, so they on on the Spring wish list! 

Lungimsam and Daniel, H. I'm not as smart as you. I find them 
irritating. Grant is right and drivers give me a wider birth. I've seen the 
stats about helmet use and cycling safety and there is no correlation, let 
alone causation, as Holland has minimal helmet use and higher safety. I've 
nothing left there to protect anymore. Pick whichever one will keep us from 
devolving into a helmet discussion. Grin.

Thanks, Takashi! I talked with my wife last night and she is game for 
attempting to cross a deerstalked and cycling hat. We'll see what happens! 
If any make it to my head and on a ride, you'll see it here. Grin.

Patrick,

Stingray Hat from Mont-bell:
http://www.montbell.us/products/disp.php?cat_id=2401_id=2108117_cd=1
It comes with chin strap. (Click "Light Tan" color, and it shows chin strap)

It's made from cotton, but I don't know whether it's organic or not.
Lining is polyester. Maybe you can rip it off if you don't like it, but 
that converts side mesh into mere holes.

Attached picture is mine, after being machine-washed 10 times or so.

Good luck!

Re: [RBW] Re: Cazadero lumpy bumpy

[Hugh Smitham]

Drew,

I like them. The 650b version weighs 470g which isn't the lightest but damn
light. They handle hard pack and semi loose dirt trails nicely with
pressures around 32# front & 35# rear and are really fast rolling with the
center ridge. Not much puncture protection which has me considering a
tubeless setup, however I have some trepidation with the side wall
strength? Keeping the weight down meant shaving material from the casing
and side walls and you don't really want a sidewall gash tubeless. I need
to ride them a bunch more to really know how they hold up.

Cheers,

~Hugh
