[RBW] First weekend with the Quickbeam

[ted]

I wanted to buy a QB, but they were out of my size and Kevin basically refused 
to sell me the next size down. When the S1s were announced I immediately pre 
ordered mine. I’ve been very happy with it. 
I’d say the differences between the two are cosmetic, with the exception of 
slightly different rack mount braze on depending on which run of QBs.
Anybody could easily make a case for preferring any of them based on those 
differences, but the biggest thing is which can you find in your size. They are 
all great bikes.

Oh, now THAT is going to be very cool, Patrick!  I cannot wait to see it 
finished.  Really fantastic that you have found fixed riding is for you, 
and to will have turned your Hunq into what you want/need it to be.  You 
may start a trend...

[RBW] First weekend with the Quickbeam

[Philip Williamson]

I’m very happy for you! I was watching that bike. Great build kit.

I’ve been using my Quickbeam fixed for my commute, and it hauls, both lit’rally 
and figuratively. With the basket, I’ve stopped for groceries on the way home 
the last two nights, and it feels like a goer, even with a moderate front load. 
 It just feels well dialed right now. I did just replace the wheels, cranks, 
barrage and brakes. Maybe that’s why.

As far as QB vs S1 controversy, on paper the S1 must be the winner.

[RBW] Re: Eat Bacon Don't Jog--Goal set, goal me

[Deacon Patrick]

Fantastic, Bill. I’d recommend not focusing so much on weight or waist size but 
on feel (energy, capacity, endurance, stability, joy, delight...). It’s 
fascinating to me how much floor living keeps the core solid and strong and 
thus thicker. As I’ve mentioned before, I am ketogenic (via the Perfect Health 
Diet), with 80-90% of calories from fat. I don’t carry food on all day rides, 
and though I carry food on bikepacking trips I often don’t eat it. I 
intermitant fast 16-18 hours daily. I’ve been stable at 200 pounds on this 
basic approach for quite a few years now. But then I eat by feel just as I ride 
by feel. Grin.

With abandon,
Patrick

Nice write up, and good work! I know I feel better with a diet aligned with the 
eb side of ebdj, but haven’t been able to click with a hiit routine. I will say 
that I find David Ludwig’s book to be a sure fire way to curb the sugar 
cravings, just not my style of food.  They just released a cookbook recently 
that may be worth looking at.

Yes, quite wide. If you're putting them on a mountain bike 46s would be 
fine. For a lot of time on the road, I'd definitely go narrower. The bars 
really shine when you're in the drops on descents.

[RBW] Re: First weekend with the Quickbeam

[Christopher Murray]

I have a Simpleone that was damaged in shipping. I shipped it back to Riv and 
they repainted it (hunqa green with cream details). They didn’t have Simpleone 
decals so they used Quickbeam decals and badge. Is it a Simpleone? Is it a 
Quickbeam? (Does it matter?). I think that is a good reflection on Rivs 
feelings about the differences between the QB and SO— they are the same bike. 

I have yet to build it up. #sad

[RBW] Re: First weekend with the Quickbeam

[tc]

Ian A, 
I believe the S1 and QB geometry is the same; however the largest S1 
offered was a 62.

Regarding differences, the S1 was made in Taiwan, has a kickstand plate, 
and some (all?) came with cream accents.  I've not found anything 
definitive on the tubing used, but some say the QB's tubing was a tad 
lighter.

My (used to be Ben's) S1 has 42mm Continental Contact Speed tires and would 
easily take a 44.

[RBW] Re: Eat Bacon Don't Jog--Goal set, goal met

[Bill Lindsay]

I kind of went through a couple plateau things.  I worked up towards that 
200k brevet, and that night, immediately after finishing the 200k, my wife 
and kids took me out to birthday dinner, and I feasted.  The next day, my 
wife hosted a lobster party for a bunch of our friends, and I feasted again 
on lobster rolls and had my share of beers as well.  Those two days were 
definite cheat days, around Feb 10, and I had some catching up to do.  That 
catch up period up until now went pretty rapidly, and so I almost want to 
maintain at 160 and try to move my body composition around a little bit. I 
have access to two scales, which both report my weight within a pound or 
two from each other, but they are WAY different from each other in body fat 
% calculations.  The office scale says I'm around 28% and the one at home 
says I'm around 15%.  I believe the 15% number more.  Anyway, on that scale 
I want to work on maintaining 160 and dropping my body fat %.  If I could 
get to 12%, that would be pretty good.

Bill, this is super-inspiring! I picked up EBDJ over the holidays and have 
been reasonably low-carb since New Year's Eve. I'm down about 11 lbs and 
want to drop another 10 or so. to settle in around 190 (I'm 6'3"). 
Weight-loss aside, it just works for me--no hunger pangs, no ups n' downs 
with sugar, no effort to fight off snacks and treats, and feel better all 
around.

Question: I've plateaued on weight the last few weeks. Did you experience 
this? Do you subscribe to the "cheat day" 1x per week to allow carbs as 
some on the internet suggest?

[Bill Lindsay]

YES!  Intermittent fasting has been the result of breaking that "eat when 
you're bored" thing.  A couple times a week I'll skip dinner entirely, and 
I wake up the next morning feeling fine.  I have a strong urge for coffee 
in the morning, and I'll eat breakfast because it seems like a good idea to 
eat some breakfast.  A 12 hour fast is quite easy.  18-20 hours is not a 
big deal either.

[RBW] Re: Eat Bacon Don't Jog--Goal set, goal met

[Ash]

Nice work Bill!  Keep it up!  The story is quite inspiring.  Thanks for 
sharing.

I have read many books on this subject.  While I understood and bought into 
the theories, none of them quite caused me to make lifestyle changes that 
were necessary to get in better shape. I'm 5'10", medium frame.  For 
several years stayed in 160-168lb range.  Always wanted to get down to 
145-150 zone.  After reading EBDJ last summer, for the first time I went 
below 160.  Hovering around 155 these days.  I think it is the style in 
which Grant has explained certain key points  that has made my new habits 
stick.  Being a vegetarian, no bacon for me.  But staying low on carbs and 
switching to HIT style workouts have helped me a great deal.  Feels like 
I'm on track to dip below 150lb in next 3-4 months.

[RBW] Re: Eat Bacon Don't Jog--Goal set, goal met

[Jim S.]

I love this topic - for me, EBDJ was revelatory, to say the least.

Then in January I found this:

https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Guide-Fasting-Intermittent-Alternate-Day/dp/1628600012/ref=sr_1_1/143-4133792-7662413?ie=UTF8=1520375629=8-1=complete+guide+to+fasting+jason+fung

If you're already an EBDJ fat burner, and want to take the next step, it's 
not all that hard to just take a couple of days a week and not eat at all. 

It sounds crazy, and miserable, but it isn't. I'm convinced that this is 
what our bodies are supposed to be doing.

At any rate, I recommend at least reading some of the book before rejecting 
fasting out of hand. It's really interesting.

[RBW] Re: Eat Bacon Don't Jog--Goal set, goal met

[William R.]

Good to hear Bill, and very inspirational. I often wonder why EBDJ doesn't 
come up here more often. I'm sure most of us have read it, or at least are 
aware of it. However, I am also aware of how incendiary the subject can be, 
its definitely personal for many. With that said... Personally I've 
struggled with it. It is something that is almost constantly on my mind and 
something that I would very much like to be successful with. I'm heavier 
than I should be for sure and I yearn to live the healthier lifestyle that 
EBDJ promotes. Yet, I keep failing and falling off and gaining what I've 
lost back. And I bought and read the book right when it came out! How many 
years has it been? I was also reading a lot of the stuff that Grant was 
talking about before EBDJ came out like Gary Taubes' books. So I've been 
trying and failing for some time now. I don't know... there's a switch in 
my head that needs to be duct taped off or permanently removed! I keep 
trying though and what you have written here helps. Good on ya.

[RBW] Eat Bacon Don't Jog--Goal set, goal met

[Ian A]

Encouraging stuff Bill. Turns out our goal weight is about the same (I'm a hair 
under 5'10" and just turned 50). I'm over my goal weight by some ~ 15-20lb, but 
am heading in the right direction, so your post is appreciated.

I was between 150-160 until I turned 44 and got a "proper job" six years ago. 
Now I'd be pleased to see the scale drop under 160 - it's a ways off yet. Until 
then, the goal pants will remain in the closet.

[RBW] Eat Bacon Don't Jog--Goal set, goal met

[Bill Lindsay]

Over the last few years, I've been a reasonably low-carb person.  I 
generally steer clear of pizza, rice, bread, but my discipline has been far 
from perfect.  Things were working out fine, in that I wasn't gaining the 1 
pound a year that people tell me I'm supposed to be gaining throughout my 
40s.  I've been holding at 180, which was acceptable but not ideal.  This 
winter I decided: I've spent long enough treading water as a 180 pounder.  
I'm a 155 pounder with 25 pounds of unnecessary cargo.  I decided I was 
going to drop 20 pounds, and this past week I've made it there, dropping 
below 160 for maybe the first time this century.  There have been a few 
changes that might have contributed to success. I'm drinking a lot less 
beer, and a lot less booze in general. My exercise routine has included 
much more short and intense efforts as a coach of the high school mountain 
bike team.  I've also done more to think about the way that I tend to think 
about food. Just like with drinking alcohol, I find that I have the urge to 
eat when I'm bored, or have downtime. I've tried to keep myself occupied 
more, and I've endeavored to break that mental connection so I don't start 
snacking every time there's a calm moment.  

A few weeks back I did a 200k with SFRandonneurs, and I really noticed a 
difference in my appetite.  For the first time, I kind of had to force 
myself to eat.  I had packed four Lara Bars for a 9 hour ride, and I went 
ahead and ate one at 50k, at 100k and at 150k, just because it seemed like 
a good idea to put some food in.  I wonder if I've reached some level of 
fat-burning, and have largely broken the sugar-dependence where I don't get 
super ravenous.  

So, Winter is almost over and we haven't fought about EBDJ all winter long, 
I don't think.  It's a datapoint of one but I'm doing fine with very little 
bread, rice, etc.  I enjoy a cut up apple with almond butter for desert.  I 
plop a huge scoop of coconut oil in my morning coffee.  I'm eating lots of 
roasted veggies and raw veggies.  I'll throw a fried egg on any meal.  I 
eat lots of nuts and seeds.  I make bacon on Saturday mornings, typically.  
My 34 inch waist pants no longer fit.  I just bought a couple pairs of 32s 
and one pair of 30s.  The 30s are snug, and I call them "the motivator" to 
get me the rest of the way to 155, where I'll probably stop and hold.  Set 
a goal and make it happen.

Thanks Tim. That helps a bunch. So 46cm Cowchippers are really quite wide. I

Re: [RBW] Re: 1x10 with BE or Gevenalle?

[Tim Gavin]

Bill-

Salsa measures their bars pretty accurately; a 46 cm Cowchipper is 46 cm
between the center of the bar at the top of each drop.  However, since the
bars flare outward throughout the drop curve, the brake hoods are already
at like 50 cm, and the ends of the bars are at like 54 cm.

On the 42 cm Cowchippers, the brake hoods are around 46 cm wide and the bar
ends are around 50 cm.  That feels better to me on an
all-rounder/gravel/cross bike.  Wider might feel better on a drop-MTB or
monster cross.

[RBW] Re: 1x10 with BE or Gevenalle?

[Bill Lindsay]

I hope this isn't too tangential.  Since you mention cowchippers, I'm in 
the market for a pair and I'm guessing at width.  Are 46cm Cowchippers 46cm 
wide at the flared drops?  Or are they 46cm at the hoods/ramps?  Or 
something else altogether?

[RBW] Re: Alternative Bars for the Clem

[tc]

Thanks, masmojo.  It's a Nitto UI-12 quill stem with a 60mm reach.  I 
ordered mine on ebay from a Japanese seller called "hobby_japan".  Took 
about 10-14 days to get it after placing the order (I'm in NC).

This link 

 
will hopefully take you to an ebay page with the different sizes they have 
in stock:

[RBW] Re: Albastache Cockpit Tweaks

[Bruce d]

I just put albastache bars on my new hillborne, after using noodles on all my 
other bikes.  I set the brake levers quite a bit below horizontal, and find 
that position much more ergonomic when grabbing the brakes.   My wrist is in a 
nice straight position, and my fingers are lined up nicely with the levers.  
What I lost is the extended position you described, with the hands gripping the 
levers in front of the bars.  However, that position is unsafe in my book, as 
your hands aren't prevented from being bounced off the levers if you hit a good 
bump.  I like my hands wrapped around the bars for safety, much like being in 
the drops on noodles as opposed to on the hoods.  That said, I really enjoy the 
bars on my hill borne, the upright position at the back is great for cruising, 
and being in the bends is quite comfortable, too.  Mine are set lightly higher 
that the seat, and I may drop them down to seat level.

[RBW] Re: 1x10 with BE or Gevenalle?

[Leaf Slayer]

I had the Cowchippers, 46cm, on my Vaya a while back and never really liked 
the way they felt on that bike. They seemed too wide. Like wider than the 
48cm Noodles on my LHT. I did like the way they felt in the drops on 
descents. I was also entertaining thoughts of that bike being a go fast all 
road machine. Something about that bike ultimately never felt right and I 
sold it. I think the Cowchippers will work well on the Ogre. If this works 
well I could see going to the next lever and setting it up with a Crust 
Towel Rack, a 66cm wide drop bar.

I know Grant has moved away from drops but I still kept expecting Riv to 
put out a short reach shallow drop bar of their own.

Love the bike train!  

Having Riv as part of your 'neighborhood' is a really neat thing.  I'm always 
impressed by the stories Bay Area folks tell about their casual drop-ins at Riv 
HQ and this is no exception.  Happy birthday!

PW also sells the 'chrome dome'.  These have a larger diameter to get more
