Re: [RBW] Re: Is 7 cm the shortest Tallux extension?
My 225 - 50 is a Technomic after all. It is forged however, it says so right on the stem. The main difference appears to be the clamp bolt and the finishing is slightly better on the 190 Tallux.

[RBW] Re: The ups and downs of my Clem Smith Jr
I didn't read anyone else's replies so apologies if this is double information - if you can find an ultegra 8s bar end shifter, you can use this with a paul thumbie for an indexed 8speed thumb shifter setup. this being said, a while back I ordered an 8spd thumb shifter from rivbike.com - it was either sunrace or microshift, can't remember, but it worked flawlessly with an Altus RD. I just bought a nitto UI-12 (31.8 threaded stem) and Sycip JJJ mountain bars. Going to put these on my clem. The nitto UI-12 stem really opens up a lot of bar options, and Sycip and Hunter have some great silver bar options with nice sweep and rise that would be great on a Clem. I'll post pics when I receive this stuff in the mail & get it installed.

[RBW] Anyone own a Clem H & Clem L?
David; I've owned a 45 H, and 52 H and L models. I put Bullmooses (original) on the 52 H, which made it much more mtb-ish. I think a Bosco'd L and Bullmoose (or Wavie) H will end up feeling like quite different bicycles, and is worth the effort. Aside from the bar/tire differences, I found the L to have a slightly softer ride due to the missing triangulation in the tubes..a bit of noodliness through the frame, if you will.

[RBW] Re: Sharing a 52 Clem L with my much shorter spouse. Feasable? Crazy?
Oops. You’re right. My wife’s PBH is 2-2.5 INCHES lower than mine; several more than 2 centimeters. I’m between 83 and 84 cm, my wife is right around 77. Also, “slammed” is probably not a helpful term for me to have used - probably more accurate to say that we set the saddle (Cambium C19) low enough for my wife (77PBH) to be able to ride the 52 Clem that I would be surprised if someone with 74PBH could get the saddle low enough to work. But I could certainly be wrong. I suppose, as was pointed out, that if 74 is within Riv’s range it could work. My Clem is an H, as well, but stand over height is not an issue for my wife even then, and the L eliminates that as a concern altogether, of course. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Anyone own a Clem H & Clem L?
I ordered a Clem H in the intial pre-order group when Clems were originally announced. I liked mine, got my wife a 45cm Clementine. Mine was originally setup in commuter mode, but the past couple of years it's been a kid hauler and in that setup I've wondered if I should've gotten an L originally as I have a rear mount child seat which makes mount/dismounting difficult. I really like the swoopy seatstays, and have been waiting patiently for an earlier 59cm Clem L with swoopy stays in grilver to pop up for sale. Well one did on this list and I bought it. So, we're now a 3 Clem household. I'll move everything over from my H over to the L. Now the question is what to do with the H. I have an attachment to it, but it seems a little silly to have 2 Clems in the same color. I'm thinking of putting big knobbies on it and tossing around the idea of putting on bars other than sweptback bars. Maybe wide drop bars with a short extension stem, maybe bullmoose or Wavie bars when they're available. Anyone else have 2 Clems setup differently? Or I guess noticed any difference in ride quality from H to L? Suggestions on building up my H as a mountain bike?

Re: [RBW] Re: Is 7 cm the shortest Tallux extension?
The one at Ben's is only a 190 quill. I had it in my cart and was ready to buy when I realized it. They are a great shop by the way. If anyone is in Milwaukee you should definitely stop by.

There's a technomic deluxe with a 5 cm extension but the quill is 190 vs. the 225 of the technomic and tallux.

[RBW] Is 7 cm the shortest Tallux extension?
I'm gonna put drops on my hunqapillar and was looking Tallux and technomic for height but want the shortest extension possible. The technomic comes in 50 cm but isn't cold forged. The Tallux is cold forged but I only see it in 7 cm on rivbike. So, is 7 cm the shortest Tallux extension?

Re: [RBW] Re: The ups and downs of my Clem Smith Jr
Jeffrey, A list member was very kind to sell me his set of 8 speed indexed SunRace thumbies for a very reasonable price. So it will be staying 8 for now. I don't really feel the need for more gears on this bike as others. I like to have a lot of gears on my brevet Rivendell so I can match effort to desired pace as closely as possible, but on the Clem, well, I'll get there when I get there. In case you were curious though, the standard derailer on the Clem completes is Grant's favorite derailer, the big-jockey-wheel Altus M310.

Re: [RBW] Re: The ups and downs of my Clem Smith Jr
That is so true Joe! You don't get the clackety-clack when you are a little off like you did in the days of old. Back when I was rocking my Schwinn Collegiate, there was no question if the gear lever needed a little more trim or not. The feedback was highly audible. Surely I don't hear as well now as I did when I was 12 or 13, but I'm not so deaf as to miss some clacking from the back of the bike. No the failure mode with modern friction shifting when the lever's not trimmed right is your chain jumping all over the place. At least it is in my case. Maybe we just need a cassette with straight cut teeth like the old ones. The new cassettes have all sorts of CAD created funny shapes and angles to aid in index shifting.

[RBW] Re: The ups and downs of my Clem Smith Jr
Hey Jim -- I don't know what RD came with the Clem but I can't imagine why you couldn't make it work for 9 speed just by working the limit screw (and/or B-Screw depending on how wide of a range you wanted). I'm an Index-Only guy myself so depending on budget I'd look to Shimano 9 for the shifter and any number of inexpensive cassette options to clear that part of the problem up.
