[RBW] FS: Various part - Shimano, Nitto, Suntour, etc.

[Kieran J]

Hi all,

Another effort to clean out some unused items from parts bin. Prices 
include shipping in Canada/USA unless indicated otherwise. Sorry if prices 
seem high but they include $$ Canadian shipping :-/. Also, customary sorry 
for the cross-post to iBOB list.

   - MKS Sylan touring pedals. Good shape, bearings need some grease. $15
   - Thomson Elite 1-1/8th threadless stem. 25.4mm clamp, 120mm extension, 
   +/-15 degrees. Excellent shape. $40
   - Avid Shorty 6 canti brakes. Used shape but complete and working great. 
   $40
   - Shimano Deore DX MT-60 thumb shifters. 7spd. Mint condition. These 
   were NOS when I installed them last year. $40 or $55 with cassette/chain 
   combo below.
   - Combo Shimano HG-50 7spd cassette and KMC 7spd chain. Cassette is 
   13-30, great shape. Chain comes with quick link. $25 for both or $55 with 
   thumbies. 
   - Nitto Tallux quill stem. 130mm length, 25.4mm clamp. Great shape, some 
   rust staining below the insertion line. $50
   - Dia Compe/Gran Compe 202 non-aero brake levers. Nice levers. Good 
   shape. $30
   - Suntour XC Pro MD (Microdrive) front derailleur. 28.6mm clamp. Near 
   mint shape, very strong spring. $30
   - Suntour Cyclone MKII front derailleur. 28.6mm clamp. Great condition. 
   $25  
   - Generic silver chainring guard. 110BCD, suitable for an ~44 or 46t 
   chainring. $10
   - Sycip Singles Bar alloy handlebar. 650mm width, 25.4mm clamp, 45 
   degree sweep. $20 + shipping

In my experience this doesn't work well. I tried Orange Seal in some latex 
tubes with removable valve cores, and found when I removed the tubes a 
while later that something in the Orange Seal had  migrated through the 
latex tube and created a gummy mess on the rim bed, inside of the tyre, and 
outside of the tube. And even if you find a sealant that doesn't create 
this mess, latex tubes require far more frequent inflation than butyl to 
keep them at pressure, and because of this the sealant will dry out more 
rapidly.

[RBW] Re: Roadini as commuter?

[Davin Dahl]

I built up a 57cm Roadini to be my commuter bike/roadish riding bike. I 
have an Albatross out front with an X-Small Saddle Sack. In the rear, I 
have a Mark's Rack with p-clamps for the lower struts. I attach my bag with 
the Frost and Seker quick release. With ten pounds or so, it rides really 
well. Riding a light commuter is a thing of beauty! It's pretty tough to go 
back to my bad weather steel hardtail.

Re: [RBW] Re: HubbuhHubbuh email from Riv & donation idea

[Alex Wirth- Owner, Yellow Haus Bicycles]

Tom,
I like your idea and the independence it affordshowever I don't want to 
burden Riv with something they didn't ask for.

Let's see what Denise finds out

Denise the timing would be August or September for the frame to arrive and 
maybe another month for assembly/delivery.  

Denise why don't you see if there's interest from David and we'll go from 
there...

If everyone is OK with putting their trust in me, it looks like I can make 
the "new" fundraiser as a "business/entrepreneurial" project and therefore 
have better control of the funds.

Re: [RBW] Re: HubbuhHubbuh email from Riv & donation idea

Wow, never woulda expected this!  My off the cuff vote would be to have Denise 
reach out to Dave White from Blind Stokers.  That seems in keeping with the 
original intent and also targets a benefactor that might be more 
interested/committed. 

Riv was also to be a benefactor here; but, they luckily reached their min unit 
goal for moving forward with their HHH order, so not really a big factor other 
than whatever profit they’d get from this 1 frame. They had talked about 
supplying some components, so, the frame profit goes away in that case...

But, maybe the appropriate thing would be to first have gofundme send an email 
to all doners and give them a  refund. Then ask Riv if there’s a way to set up 
a special purchase code on their web site where donors could contribute towards 
a frame to go to a charity who would use it. Blind Stokers or whoever; let that 
be worked out as to who later so we don’t get in this situation again?

Thanks Alex. Indeed a bummer.

[RBW] Re: HubbuhHubbuh email from Riv & donation idea

[Drw]

Im sure the research has been done, but on the off chance it hasn't, there 
are other blind tandem groups

https://www.intandembike.org/

https://mcgee.ventures/bikes-for-the-blind/

Not vouching for them, but a quick google search brings up several other 
organizations.

Re: [RBW] Re: HubbuhHubbuh email from Riv & donation idea

[Tim Butterfield]

Alex,

Not sure what's possible, but here's a couple ideas:

Thinking a president is not always involved in inventory/asset management
for their charity...

If she were willing, Christine could accept ownership of the new HHH on
behalf of BTCC, but just assign it for use by a captain to be shipped
directly to them.  That would reduce her need for involvement while
maintaining control for possible future use if/when her circumstances
change.

Could she recommend another chapter/branch/club/captain that is in need of
the HHH?  There may be individuals who would want to be captains, but do
not have the tandem with which to do it.  A tricky bit there is BTCC has
the 501 (c) (3) status and another may not.

Re: [RBW] Re: HubbuhHubbuh email from Riv & donation idea

Did Will / Riv have any ideas for an alternative worthy cause or home for a
donated HHH?

No I-told-you-so's from me, it was (and still is) a good idea worth
pursuing and it's very kind of you to have donated your time and attention
to it.  I hope something can be worked out with it as a donation.

Re: [RBW] Re: HubbuhHubbuh email from Riv & donation idea

[Alex Wirth- Owner, Yellow Haus Bicycles]

Dear Bunch,

I have some unfortunate news for the group...Christine has bowed out for 
the donation sighting a heavy commitment at school.  I don't want to 
over-analyze and dwell on the past too much so I think we should carry on.

If you were skeptical from the beginning, please refrain from the 
I-told-you-so's, if even to prevent my fragile ego from going to pieces ;-)

Question is, where shall we go from here?  Should we have Denise reach out 
to Dave White from Blind Stokers SD? 

I've been in contact with GoFundMe and the only course forward is to refund 
the donationshowever they would happily coordinate an email to all the 
refunded participants saying that the NEW fundraiser is now hereetc.



Thanks for being such a wonderful bunch...I'll await your sage advice.  And 
sorry in advance if this is an emotional drain on any of you (it is for me 
a little bit).  I never in a million years would think someone would turn 
down delivery of a fully functional tandem perfect for their charge (wide 
size range, beginner friendly...FREE!)



Alex in Rochester, NY


PPS I spoke with Will about the whole situation and their number did not 
factor-in Christine's HHH because her deposit wasn't timely enough.  He did 
indicate that he'd be happy to assign one of the "extras" if a second 
effort was successful.

[RBW] Re: Bikepacking 27.5+ v. 29+

['Deacon Patrick' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Ah, Chris. I’m trying to find a charitable way to respond to: “I don't know 
anything about continental divide singletrack, but I challenge the notion that 
it's not rideable.” How cute.

Now, if you want to learn ... Bikeable? Absolutely. Ridable? Not all of it. 
Folks riding the Continental Divide Trail (not to be confused with the Great 
Divide MTB Route, which is mostly backroads), the Colorado Trail, and other 
similar trails, have a fair amount of LCG (lowest common gear, aka hike-a-bike) 
for the uphill and even some downhill sections, no matter the human powered 
bike they bring. Note that this is reflected in the overview of routes on 
Bikepacking.com in their “Ridable” category. The CT is 92% ridable, by time. 
Guess where most of that 8% LCG comes in. Near the Divide. They say the CT is 
13 travel days. 8% of 13? A day. That’s a day of LCG, though of course broken 
up throughout the route, mostly on the climbs and mostly near the Divide. 
http://www.bikepacking.com/routes/bikepacking-the-colorado-trail/

A 2.1” 29er Hunqabeam is underbiking for this. A 2.4-2.8” Boots is more spot 
on, and a 29er sounds to be the prefered wheelsize, so I agree with you there. 
Grin.

With abandon,
Patrick

[RBW] FS: Paul neo retro cantis silver - $150

I ended up switching back to V-brakes to alleviate some carpal tunnel 
issues.

Basically mint set of neo retros in the standard silver. Cool stop pads. 
Only one straddle cable...cannot for the life of me find the other.

$150 via paypal

[RBW] From Joe to Clem

[Derek Atkins]

Thanks Ryan! I’ve seen a few Rivs bopping around and a guy from here in GR rode 
one at Barry Roubaix last year. The Joe was my first dip into the Riv world. 

I have some Billie Bars and Bullmoose bars waiting in the wing, but I 
appreciate the offer on the other set-ups. 

If there’s ever a West Michigan Riv gathering let me know!

Re: [RBW] Re: From Joe to Clem

[Derek Atkins]

Thanks everyone for the comments and help! This is my first time posting so
I’m not sure if this is going to everyone or what. I think I’m going to
keep the triple and see how it works. I put it on the Clem with no chain
and it looks like there shouldn’t be clearance issues with the frame. I
guess once I get wheels, tires, and a chain on I’ll know more.

I don’t really need the triple set up so worse comes to worse I guess I’ll
set what I can do to make it a double if I run into any issues.

[RBW] Re: Tubeless questions

[Victor Hanson]

You are not a good candidate for tubeless, you have to replenish the goo 
every six months considering your use.  

A couple of tips.   The new valve cores form Stan's (and others) work 
fricken excellent.  $20 I know, but now no more getting tubeless goo all 
over trying to get it in the tyre.  

Stan's tape works great, ghetto tubeless is good also, as long as you use 
an UST or tubeless ready tyre. 

Don't make your own tubeless goo.  Yes it can be done, however, I can 
attest to the number of catastrophic messes I have had to clean up in my 
work space also.   If I rode 300 miles a week, great you ride enough, make 
your own goo.  Any less than 100 a week, buy Stan's (or whatever) and save 
the headache.

The trail works great for me. We run 100, 200 and 300k rides on it during the 
year. The Ft Payne area features a canyon or you can climb Lookout Mtn. Or 
both.  The TRED routes north of Rome and the  Chickamagua battleground park are 
wonderful. GA is Full of bike routes plus the trail too.

Re: [RBW] Re: RBW 25 -Atlantic side of things

[Eric Chatham]

Eric here, in the ‘burbs of Atlanta, GA.  I know there are a couple of folks 
also in the Atlanta area.  I also would enjoy a SE meetup.  I live on the east 
end of the Silver Comet Trail, a 61.5 paved Rails To Trails that goes from 
Smyrna, GA to the Alabama state line.  It connects with the 33 mile Chief 
Ladiga Trail, which runs approximately 33.5 miles (are you near that end, 
fullylugged?).  This would be the perfect place for a SE meetup, almost 100 
miles of car-free riding!  There are several campsites along the trail, two in 
GA and one in Alabama, as well as a few hotel options in the general vicinity. 
Although I do a lot of motorcycle riding in NC, I’ve yet to pedal there, so I 
find that appealing as well.

Even more Riv content:  I’m taking delivery today of a Cheviot frameset and 
moving most parts to it from a Sam Hillborne complete bike, so there will be a 
62cm SH frame up for sale in the near future, if anyone is interested!

Peace and bicycle grease,

Eric C.

[RBW] Re: Bikepacking 27.5+ v. 29+

[Christopher Cote]

I don't know anything about continental divide singletrack, but I challenge the 
notion that it's not rideable. Why else would it exist? Or are these hiking 
trails? Or (motorized) dirt bike trails? In any case, if you pointed me up a 
steep, rocky climb and gave me the choice between 29+ and 27+ wheels, I'd take 
the bigger wheels any time. The increased traction and rollover capability 
cancel out any weight penalty in my opinion.

I might be game for one or the other, depending on the logistics.  I'll 
keep an eye out for this thread.

[RBW] Re: RBW 25 -Atlantic side of things

[Wally Estrella]

Hey Folks:

OK, there seems to be enough interest for a two'fer on the east coast.  A 
Nor'Easter and a So'Easter.  NE will probably be western-ish NY/eastern MA 
area.  Alex/Ben -yes?

If someone in the mid-Atlantic/south could grab the cork grips on this to 
lead a group that would be GREAT! Thanks!

CHEERS!
