[RBW] How to free up an RBW bottle nozzle that is stuck???

[Lum Gim Fong]

My bottle is a few years olde. Clear plastic/green logo vintage.
But I’ve cleaned it carefully after uses, flushing the nozzle so no (horrors!) 
sugars from (gasp!) sports drinks collect and gum up the nozzle works.

Yet, as it has aged, I find the nozzle less responsive to the push and tugs of 
me front teeth, to their chagrin and pain. Bottle hurts the front tooth now 
after use. I don’t want to toss it as it is a nice bottle. Not looking to push 
out my teeth either. It is a 32(?)oz., I think, which qualifies it as a flagon, 
or tankard, not sure which. 

Anything I can do to get the nozzle back to its easy gliding and responsive 
action of yesteryear?

Any companies sell squirt tops that would work with the bottle so as not to 
stress the ivories any more?

If the Mini-moto had enough clearance for the tires I like, I would run 
those exclusively.  Unfortunately, PAUL's long-pull moto-lite is ugly as 
sin.

Thanks for your efforts and for Grant for the 40 and 44.

As for the complete bit, Issue 44 has this to start the first paragraph:
"When Rivendell Reader 0 was mailed in 1994, ..."  Was that a typo or is
there an issue zero?

Thanks to all of you. That’s a great thing to have accessible. Next: the coffee 
table book!

Apropos of nothing, except that I forgot about it until just now - in the 
elevator this morning, a guy asked about the Biketinkers Union patch on my 
Brand V grabsack (purse). I said, “Oh that’s my thing. I like to tinker with 
bikes, modify them, make them better, or more like I like them. I made these 
patches and I sell them to my friends.”
He said, “Oh, are you into like Rivendell?”
I said, “Oh yeah. Pretty deep into Rivendell. That was a good guess!” And then 
it was his floor.

Christopher Cote thinks that Surly has a typo when they claim their bike takes 
a 10x100 qr front wheel. I think that’s a possibility. 

Christopher Cote asserts that the Black Mountain Road Plus will have TCO in his 
size. What size did you do the calculations on?  What front center did you come 
up with?  And finally, what front center do you need to not have TCO?

I'd be willing to bet that the fork takes a standard 100mm QR wheel. The 
rear doesn't bug me. I'd run a 135mm hub and forget about it.

The BMC Road Plus looks like it will have toe-overlap in my size. That's a 
no-go for me for anything that will be ridden off pavement around here.

Patrick the Deacon is correct, which is why I bought the HARs now. I wasn't 
real happy with the front-loading situation on my Cheviot and hadn't really 
decided what my next step was going to be, then I noticed HAR in the Garage 
Sale section at Rivbike. Am I definitely totally sure this is the best solution 
for me? Nope. Do I want to try 3 other things, then discover HAR is sold out 
forever? NOPE!

Phil, the rule with Riv (and anyone, really), is if you like what you see and 
think you may use it, buy, cause it’s only there while it’s there. And with a 
small company, the multidirectional forces impacting product decisions can 
change quickly and have a bigger impact than with larger companies.

With abandon,

Re: [RBW] Re: Atlantis tires rec request

[Tim Butterfield]

Thanks, Laing.  I was thinking not just of the initial pair, but of
potentially having to replace a single tire several years down the road.
But, I guess I could always just get another matched pair.  It's just
money.  Not likely to be a real issue, though.

Re: [RBW] Bags for Hub Area Racks

[Coal Bee Rye Anne]

Thanks Howard and Thanks Joe.  Now it's just a matter of digging the OYB 
bags out of the closet and checking their hook spacing.  HARacks are one of 
the items on my shortlist/wishlist and would be partially offset by a 
hailmary and remaining CFKAR (credit formerly known as Rivendollars.)  With 
HABags now gone and only available 2nd hand I've hesitated to order the 
rack implusively only to have it sit until I could score a set of bags.  
But after having recently acquired my first Sackville item (Grabsack as a 
gift for my significant other) I think I'd happily wait for HABags to come 
up for sale even if the OYB's didn't work out.  Still need to work through 
a few things to justify the expense aside from my remaining credits 
anyway so hopefully the racks are still available when I'm finally ready.

[RBW] Re: Is the Surly Bridge Club a Disc-braked Hunqapillar?

['Chris Lampe 2' via RBW Owners Bunch]

The Radavist just unveiled a new Crust bike, the Bombora (yeah, the name 
really caught my eye) .  It's a 27.5 x 2.4" tig welded frame with a 
bi-plane fork.  There is no real information other than a few photos but 
this bike might factor into a Hunqapillar/Bridge Club discussion.   It 
looks like it's specifically designed for drop bars.

Re: [RBW] Re: Atlantis tires rec request

The tan looks good when it's matched up, but not being matched would likely
annoy me.   I'm not sure I want to go through the hassle of buying several
or worrying about later replacement issues trying to get them matched.  I
think I'll stick with black.  Thanks, Laing.

[RBW] Re: Canti Sam Hillborne: No Cable Hangers

[d2mini]

I'm with you... I am not a fan of V-brakes at all as far as aesthetics go. 
Looks like someone ran out of brakes and slapped on a mountain bike part 
they had laying around the garage.
Canti's or standard road brakes for me. :) 
Then again, I don't do heavy loaded touring where every ounce of brake 
performance makes a difference.

[RBW] Re: Banana sax reviews needed. Stuff fall out?

[Grant @ Rivendell]

It''s not for carrying loose gold dust or diamonds, but the Banana sack is 
secure and adaptable to any load. There's a sleeve pocket for a phone, and 
a stiffener opposite that, and you can put skinny jangly things in with the 
stiffener, to secure them. If I have any doubts I just wad up a bandana and 
put it on top and close the sideflap things. I've forgotten to toggle it 
closed and even then, front or rear mount, nothing's fallen out. All that 
said, it's still probably best to say "It's more secure than a general 
pants pocket" and leave it at that!

[RBW] Re: Hubbuhubbuh wheelset specs

[M G]

Yes, to the rear disc, the drag brake benefits cannot be overstated. 
 Blowing 1 tire once (i have, but on another tandem)will make you a 
drag brake believer.

Off topic, but I have been considering Boscomoose bars and was curious if a 
pocket tender would fit in the center triangle. Howard seeing as you have 
both, could you shed some light on this?

Are HAR racks and bags no longer being made? I have been waiting for them

[RBW] Re: Canti Sam Hillborne: No Cable Hangers

[ctifusion]

Thanks for mentioning this. I'm waiting for a new Atlantis and I just 
realized there are no cable hangers. I have noticed how Riv has been 
pushing V-brakes but I just can't go there. Even if they stop better, they 
are just too ugly for me. I've always loved the look of cantis and you get 
the satisfaction when you set them up and they actually stop the bike!

Re: [RBW] Bags for Hub Area Racks

[Coal Bee Rye Anne]

As a related question... anyone have a measurement of the length of useable 
upper rail for the HAR?  Between the stops/tabs and/or hoop?  I have a 
pair of Jeff Potter's OYB Retro Panniers I briefly used on a Surly front 
rack but wondering if the hooks would fit the spacing of the HAR.  I've 
since traded away the Surly rack for other parts of interest and haven't 
been using a pannier rack otherwise.  I have two forks a HAR should work 
with (one is on my Clem) and a 32f mini front rack to pair it all with so I 
could add a basket up top and the OYB panniers below.

Thanks,
Brian Cole
Lawrenceville, NJ

[RBW] Clem-L, Bosco handlebars: where to put the bell?

[Rod Holland]

I've ordered a 45cm Clem-L for my consort, which rumor has it should be 
delivered one of these first days. This is the stock build with Bosco bars. 
Question to those with Bosco experience: what's a good place to mount a 
bell in that style cockpit? This will be a Crane Suzue 
, so it will be loud if she 
can reach it... Most of my experience configuring cockpits has been with 
drops or flat bars, I don't have a good sense of hand positions on Boscos.

Thanks,

rod
