[RBW] Re: Crust Leather Bar assessments?

[Chris Corral]

too wide for me. I'm a skinny 5'10", and found the drops uncomfortable. The 
tops are fine, but I like descending in the drops, especially on techy 
off-road routes. I'm used to 720+ mountain bike bars, so I dont think it 
was the pure width as much as it was the position of my wrists. I also only 
rode these on the street for a few blocks, didn't get too wild.

[RBW] Re: New Cheviot Day

[adam leibow]

thanks again for the nice words, everybody. the 50mm big bens fit 
comfortably. Will told me he had them on his with fenders, but there is 
definitely some finagling involved. I just measured them with the caliper 
and it came in at 46mm, slightly narrower than claimed. 

I rode the bike to work today. It rides very nice and I have a feeling i'm 
going to miss the upright position when I ride my other bikes.

Ha! Yes. Well put, Kai.

My low gear (I have more combos, but really just use high and low) is 32x19 
(with a 22t bail out gear I've only used climbing Pikes Peak), and I use 
the 32x19 for the long steady climbs. So Roughly miles 1-5, 85-90, 98-102. 
That 10 mile climb out of Deckers is interesting -- easy the first three 
miles, medium steep the next 5, and "I almost need to stand and pedal" 
steep for the last 2. But coming after 80-90 miles are already done, it

[RBW] Crust Leather Bar assessments?

[John G.]

I popped in to Rivendell HQ a few weeks ago while on vacation. While I was 
there, a rangy gent rolled up on 58cm Hunq. It had a stupendously wide bar on 
it. After a quick chat with the rangy gent, Will hopped on the Hunq and 
disappeared for a few minutes. He came back later with a big smile on his face. 
I asked how large the bar was, and was told 66.6.

It looked awesome as hell, and the owner said he loved it. It completely suited 
the Hunq.

[RBW] Tires for Cheviot with VO Zeppelin Fenders - Compass or Soma

[SeanMac]

Hi all,

I've finally pulled my 60cm grey Cheviot out of the box and started 
attaching parts.  Hopefully everything will be in place soon and I can take 
it out for a ride.

A few days ago I ordered a set of 52mm Zeppelin fenders from Velo Orange.  
Now I am ready to order some tires.  I was all set to order the Compass 
Barlow Pass tires based on all of the positive comments that I have read on 
the list.  Then, after doing some research, I came across Soma's Supple 
Vitesse tire, which seems fairly similar to the Compass tires.  The bonus 
(perhaps) for me, is that the Soma tire is available in either 38mm to 
match the Barlow Pass, or in 42mm - which would be a nice match for my 
Zeppelin fenders.

I'm wondering if anyone has experience with the Soma tires and, if so, 
would be willing to provide some comparisons between them and the Compass 
tires.

Link to Soma tires:  Soma Supple Vitesse EX tires 


I will be mounting the tires to Mavic A 719 rims.  The brakes I am using 
are Tektro R 559.

For the most part, the Cheviot will be used as an 'round town bike - a 
"grocery getter" as my wife likes to call it.  However, I anticipate that 
it will be used on local bike paths and (perhaps) for some longer rides / 
light touring -- perhaps even on the Erie Canal bike path (stone dust and 
dirt, as well as paved areas.

Thanks for your thoughts on which tire will serve me best.  I am looking 
for something that will be dependable, fun & comfortable to ride, and 
relatively unlikely to flat on a regular basis.

Thanks,

Sean
East Aurora, NY

[RBW] Re: New Riv Model - Newsletter

[Ray Varella]

I've got a Mtn Mixte from the first batch and my PBH is about 78. 
The bike is a great fit so don't think you need to be Roman's size to fit one 
well. 
I found myself just a tiny bit stretched out with standard Bullmoose bars but 
with Albatross and a 9cm stem, the reach is perfect. 

I ride it all the time to run errands and cruise the salt marshes. 

Given the sizing flexibility, it's a great bike for friends and guests.

I hope the medium mountain mixtes are as big of a hit as the extra large ones 
were, and that the success prompts a run of in-between-sized large ones  
And that i can afford to jump on it when it happens.

1.  Go to www.rivbike.com
2.  Hover on News up at the top and select RBW Newsletters.
3.  Click on the most recent newsletter titled:  End of May Newsletter

Here is a LINK 
 
to 
it

Quote from that newsletter to address Drew:

"So if you're in the market for the roadish Sam or the toured-out 
Appaloosa, imagine them both going away and something in the middle 
replacing them next year. That's all we can say for now, and it might 
change. "

Quote from that newsletter to address Chris:

"

   - *August: Rosco Mountain Mixtes* - The big ones are all presold, but if 
   you are interested in the medium one (like Roman's 
   ) you can contact 
   ro...@rivbike.com.  He's taking deposits."

the RED TEXT in the newsletter hyperlinks to Roman's Staff Bikes page:  
https://www.rivbike.com/pages/romans-staff-bikes

One of Roman's bikes is a Mountain Mixte to fit Roman.  Roman is 5'11" or 
so.  So it's a medium.  The other batch, which preceded this and that is 
all pre-sold, is Will's batch of huge Mountain Mixtes.  Those were/are for 
folks approaching 100cm PBH.  Roman's batch would fit folks Roman's size. 
 Like me!

[RBW] Re: Sharing a few photos of my Sam with Albatross bars

[Broccoli Cog]

Thanks! Yes it is a 62 cm. I had Noodles on the bike before which I really 
liked but I just couldn't get to a place where I wasn't experiencing neck 
pain even with the bars raised way up.That was enough motivation for me to 
try different bars. I also was thinking about the Albastache but after 
talking with Will I felt that they would still be a little too aggressive 
for my liking. I hear you on the expense part. I ended up buying the bars 
from a list member and I tried to save money by attempting to make my 
original 8cm stem work. I ended up scrapping that idea after one ride 
because the cockpit felt so cramped to me. You may be different so I would 
suggest trying your original stem but you will need a shim to reduce the 
clamp size down to 25.4. I swapped out for a new 12cm stem and that works 
much better for me. I am finding that there are still a few tweaks to be 
made. i lowered the angle of bars so they are now more in line with my 
wrists and I also lowered the stem much lower than I had with the Noodles. 
The combination of those three things have made a difference for me. That 
said I have yet to ride anything over 15 miles so I don't have anything to 
go on. If your patient I am sure bars, stem or both will come up for sale 
soon.

[RBW] Crust Leather Bar assessments?

['Clayton' via RBW Owners Bunch]

I am wondering if anyone has tried the Crust Leather drop handlebar. At 
666mm, it is very spacious. Silly wide? 

Thanks all,

Clayton (Bend)

Re: [RBW] OT: Is there any effective protection for iPhone 6 glass?

[Philip Kim]

nice, i've gone through more phones than i care to admit due to water. got 
tired of putting my phone in a dry bag in my bike bag, and finally got a 
lifeproof case plus warranty. 

it's amazing how expensive it was for what seems like rubber, and some 
plastic that seems like high-tech saran-wrap.

I'm kind of surprised that no one has mentioned the comment in the May 30 
newsletter about not being able to get an orange Sam or a green/silver 
Appaloosa for at least 648 days BUT that something in the middle might be 
replacing them next year.  Having a bike between a Sam and a Joe seems to 
be splitting a finer line but I'm stoked to see what they come with (or 
maybe come up with).  I recently bought a silver 51 Joe and it has really 
calmed down my bike buying desires because it is just so good.  I have a 
Sam, Joe, Cheviot, San Marcos , Rosco Mountain Mixte on order and a 
Quickbeam so I don't need another.  But I'm endlessly interested in what 
they come up with.

I have the same color Cheviot in a 55 but mine is "junked up" with front

clean on the bike (but I won't - the Honjo fenders cost a fortune to buy 
and install).

I haven't wanted to take this apart, but I have not had any offers for the

Price is for local pickup, but I'm happy to have it boxed and shipped at 
buyer's expense.

This was a prototype frame, full of braze ons, rides amazing. Just rode it 
from Portland or Oregon City yesterday.

Me likey! Is that a 62cm?

What bars did you use before the Albatross? I'm running Noodles but keep

pricey for me to simply try something out. I keep trolling CL, eBay, and 
the Owners Bunch but they don't come up often.

Great pics too.

[RBW] Re: Appaloosa Front-End Update

[J Imler]

Hi Dave, the right brake arm will fully open while using the strut to upper 
mid-fork. The reason I chose to use the strut to top of fork crown on the left 
is ease of adjustment using linear pulls, zero interference while 
tightening/loosening cable.

[RBW] Re: Appaloosa Front-End Update

[Dave Johnston]

Will the right brake arm open with the strut in the way? Is that why you 
have the left rear strut going to crown and right rear strut going to mid 
fork?

I have a tubus smarti rack (similar to Tara but designed to be mounted to 
brake posts) mounted to the high mid fork braze on . I tilts up on the 650b 
bike but should be more level on a 700c model. It has less tire clearance 
and probably wouldn't fit a 2" tire though.

[RBW] Re: New Cheviot Day

['Dave Small' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Adam, do you know the true width of the Big Bens on your set-up, and how 
comfortably do they fit?  Barely, or do you have any room to spare? 
 Thanks.

Re: [RBW] Re: Backwards stem

['Stephen Kemp' via RBW Owners Bunch]

There a couple of threads at the moment which touch on sensitivity of set 
up in terms of comfort/handling/performance of upright vs sportier 
cockpits. I have tried a variety of set ups on my bike (not a Riv) from 
drops (at saddle height) through Bosco-style (very upright) and Albatross. 
Although I've settled on the Albatross set up I don't think there were 
major flaws with any of these combos and I've never been able to mess up 
the handling to the point of "disconcerting". I guess I've just been lucky 
where others seem to have to play around to get just the right bar height, 
reach, angle, etc.
