[RBW] Roadini fendering at 32mm?

[Paul G]

Rivendell used to market their Roadeos with Jack Browns and SKS P45s 
(Chromoplastics or Longboards) all the time. Perhaps they are no longer 
comfortable with that combination and limit the use of fenders with 28mm wide 
tires to protect themselves if a customer had a crash because something got 
caught in the front fender and flipped the bike.

I've been running the combo for going on four years with no problems other than 
a leaf getting caught in the front fender on occasion. But I'm careful to avoid 
going over sticks and such. And they must be installed carefully with attention 
to maximizing the available clearance. That means cramming the fender as high 
as possible under the brake calipers. By the way, this renders the wide opening 
of the R539 brakes useless as the fenders get in the way when opening them. I 
have to let almost all the air out to remove a wheel past the calipers.

Remember that the SKS fenders have more clearance potential than metal fenders. 
Honjos or similar styles may allow a 30mm at the most. Also, different people 
have differing levels of what their comfortable with regarding fender/tire 
clearance.

[RBW] Re: Many Things Cages with 64oz Klean Kanteen Bottles

[John Rinker]

Cool! I love my King Cage/64ozKanteen; mostly because it makes an excellent 
growler when one happens upon a brewery here or there. Though, it's best to 
have a friend along to finish it off. Phew!

Cheers, John

[RBW] Roadini fendering at 32mm?

[Matt D]

My 61 Roadini is set up with 17mm Alexrims G6000 rims, Panaracer Gravelking 
32c tires (which run true to size), and Tektro R539 brakes. I'm headed to 
merrie olde England in June with bicycle in tow and I'd like to prepare for 
the rain that seems to go along with the island but I'm not sure I can fit 
them.

My research has only turned up this - Paul Gong on a RBWOB facebook group 
says:
*"I have a Roadeo which has the same designed-in clearances. I can just fit 
Jack Browns and SKS P45 Longboards with careful installation. This was a 
combo that Rivendell often featured on their website and Instagram. I'm 
pretty certain metal fenders like VO and Honjo wouldn't fit with Jack 
Browns. Their design and hardware require more clearance than Longboards."*

Jack Browns, of course, being 33.3mm. That makes me suspect that 
Rivendell's limit of 28 with fenders might be a little conservative. I 
don't intend to ride many loose surfaces or gravel so I'm not all too 
worried about things getting caught under it. Is anyone else running 
fenders above 28mm on their Roadini or Roadeo and if so, what do you 
suggest I use?

[RBW] Many Things Cages with 64oz Klean Kanteen Bottles

['Deacon Patrick' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Beorn of the Gus Boots Willsen family is now outfitted with three King Cage 
Many Things Cages (and one iris cage), bringing my frame carry water carrying 
capacity to 3 x 64oz + 27oz = 219oz (6.2 liters). This is a challenge I've had 
in the dry bits bikepacking, and since I'll be attempting (hopefully) some more 
I am excited to be able to carry water low and central on my frame for the 
longer stretches (I'll carry empty when not needed).

Test rode the Klean Kanteen 64oz. bottle on the lowest cage today and it rode 
the whole way snug and silent. Andrew at King Cage said the 64oz works great 
and also is the largest he would recommend. I used his universal support bolts 
to augment the bottle bosses as needed, and add the Iris cage behind the seat 
tube.

Re: [RBW] Re: Dealing with verbal harrassment on the road

[Peter White]

There's an easy fix for this problem.

MOVE TO NEW HAMPSHIRE!

Here in New Hampshire, even the guys in the pickup trucks jacked up an
extra foot with the AR-15 in the rear window gun rack are extremely polite.
When I occasionally go south to MA to ride with old friends I'm always
intimidated by the drivers.

Re: [RBW] Re: Plus Tires for GBW

['Deacon Patrick' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Update on the Nobby Nic plus: Wow. I'd calibrated their speed based on gearing 
and feel to the Maxxis Ikon+ on dry trails, but my initial ride was on wet, 
semi-muddy and mud collecting on the Nobby Nics, so when I thought the were 
about on par or slightly ahead in terms of effort in the same gear, I was 
selling them short. Today's ride was on dry trails, and Nobby Nic just glides 
along, conforming to the terrain and not loosing speed. Smooth and delicious 
and confident. Schwalbe has produced an amazing tire here, with flat protection 
yet impressively supple. Amazing ride on all ways.

Re: [RBW] Re: Nitto M18 vs Mini Front for carrying a basket

[hugh flynn]

As a minor clarification, the direction is not to use baskets with M12 or
similar mini racks designed to support a front rando-style bag (which would
presumably also be supported by a decaleur).

I do not believe Nitto or anyone else has stated that baskets can not be
used with ANY Nitto front rack. The 34F or other full-sized front racks
should be fine with a basket.

[RBW] PSA 59CM Custom Riv on FC CL

[Fullylugged]

Funny how reactions differ.  I bought a near NOS Waterford RS-12 off this list 
with a prior owner name on the top tube, 'Doris Rodriguez".  That just became 
the bikes' name for me. "I think I'll take old Doris for a spin Dear." "Okay 
Honey!"  I love it.   Btw, the '99 bike is essentially a Rivendell Long Low 
with regular 753 tubing, not the heavy wall that RBW used. Even has the 
extended HT. Waterford uses a simpler seat cluster arrangement which is not as 
pretty as the RBW.

The Nitto site still says no baskets on these racks.  it's not just the weight, 
it's the down force on bumps too.  There are sturdy racks intended for baskets
