[RBW] Re: FS - Tires, misc

[Chris Balaschak]

I'm sorry to say I did not measure the width when mounted. I will say based on 
my experience, the Gravelking 38s were slightly wider than the Soma 38s. Both 
were used on my Legolas, and the gravelkings were a tight fit.

They are great tires, but in the end I've preferred more narrow tires - 28s or 
32s.

[RBW] Re: Riv sighting, Pittsburgh

['John Hawrylak' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Great ride report, as a former native Pittsburgher, I enjoyed the photos.  
2 questions:
Where was the 1st photo taken on the  river at 1st light?   I would say the 
Mon at the old J Southside works, the bridge would be the Birmingham 
(successor to the 22nd St).
Emerald View Park on Mt Wash.  Wasn't this called Grandview Park, and the 
photo left side shows the observation deck with a funny circular concrete 
roof?  The photo shows the new jail directly across the river and the park 
south of the Liberty Tubes/Bridge.

Anyways, thanks for the memories.  Glad the guy from Seattle enjoyed 
Pittsburgh

[RBW] Re: FS - Tires, misc

[Peter Adler]

I've been curious about both these tires for several years, since they're 
both in Panaracer's scary-light category (at 700x38, 320g for the Soma 
Supple Vitesse and 360g for the Panaracer GravelKing Slick, compared to 
350g-380g for the Panaracer-made 700x38 Compass/Rene Herse Barlow Pass). 
But I don't think I have clearance for a real-world 38 mm tire on any of 
the bikes I have in mind, so I've mostly paid attention to 700x35, which 
don't often turn up used. I just lost another eBay auction for a pair of 
35mm Bon Jon Passes yesterday :-( so let's get some more details on these; 
maybe my size fears are misplaced.

Panaracer lists the GravelKing Plus as ERTRO 40-622; no way I can fit 40, 
if that number is real. Did you measure the widths of these tires before 
you took them off the wheels? How wide were they, once you'd run them for 
awhile and they'd grown?

[RBW] Riv sighting, Pittsburgh

[ascpgh]

I rode Pedal Pittsburgh, the annual fundraising ride of our local advocacy 
group, Bike Pittsburgh, Sunday on my trusty orange Rambouillet. I had three 
bottles, two tail lights and a pair of toe straps (remember those?) to 
carry my shell jacket and T-shirt since I couldn't make the pre event pick 
up of my number and shirt. 
https://photos.app.goo.gl/oTNX5PUQPK2n28DF7

I rode to the event from home at o' dark thirty at 51° and clear skies, 
pre-sunscreened, jersey pockets full of stuff to account for crowded or 
depleted refreshment stops. I took care of the admin stuff and had a half 
hour to kill so I patronized a coffee vendor in a compact '60s era camping 
trailer to warm my hands while I rolled my shell and T-shirt into a nice 
shape to strap to my Brook's bag loops. 
https://photos.app.goo.gl/GL7yC4RtMPhnp26B9

The start for the 62 mile group was 0700 and headed directly up Mount 
Washington to Emerald View Park. 
https://photos.app.goo.gl/T9emoZMpcHRbwZAR9

After a few miles of wandering around on the ridge the route dropped to the 
Monongahela River and crossed into downtown where I heard someone say "nice 
bike" on my left. He was riding a blue A. Sam Hilborn and I said "that 
too". 
https://photos.app.goo.gl/UMEDX7yQ9aYcAoP68

The rider, Hill, was from Seattle. He is retired and spends his summers 
driving from city to city participating in similar events. He volunteered 
Saturday in the final prep of the event in exchange for free participation. 
He'd come from Detroit and a ride there most recently. 

Together we chatted bikes, places ridden and headed into some big climbing, 
distracted by conversation. Total climbing for the 62 miles was over 4000' 
and we were plugging right along. Hill even commented that "we must piss 
them off" regarding the two old guys on those heavy steel bikes banging up 
the hills and me guiding him down the other sides with previous knowledge 
of the roads and no unnecessary braking so we carried our inertia into the 
next climb. 
https://photos.app.goo.gl/dQmtXFh9rYZjVTzC6

Onward we rode, reaching the lunch stop in Highland Park and taking our 
sandwiches away from the crowd, up the stairs facing the english gardens 
and fountain, up to the reservoir promenade to enjoy the view of the entry 
gates. In a few minutes we headed off for the final legs of the ride. We'd 
enjoyed a steady stream of conversations among the 3000+ riders who I've 
met through local group rides over the years. 

The finish was a festival and we enjoyed an IPA from a regional maker, sat 
under an umbrella as we enjoyed it and talked bikes and riding. Hill said 
this is the first place he's come to ride that he wants to come back for 
other rides. He purposely doesn't repeat places so he can see more but the 
community, friendliness of neighborhoods and visual impact of the route 
really impressed him.
https://photos.app.goo.gl/KXqnF2rvXTqfxzyp8 

I got home with a tick under 80 miles on my day and I felt pretty good 
rather than hobbled. Days like this are why my Rivendell is almost 20 years 
old. What would be better?

[RBW] FS: BBB BCP-15W Wireless Bike Computer

['Eric Norris' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Bought this BBB wireless computer in Rambouillet before PBP after I discovered 
that I had left my Wahoo Elemnt at home. 

Used just a few times. Comes with the original packaging, instructions, etc. 10 
functions (speed, time, distance, average speed, clock, etc.), with a wireless 
transmitter that mounts to the fork. Took me about 15 minutes to set up. 

Full specs here: https://bbbcycling.com/en_en/bcp-15w-dashboard 

Your price: $30 shipped in the USA.

[RBW] Re: Rivendell Touchup Paint

[ascpgh]

That's funny. In an earlier thread I suggested that my orange Rambouillet 
(funny how that name's recognized after this P-B-P) has transcended from 
beausage to  "beausavage". No hope of touching up that three layer color, 
cost of a repaint is a large part of the next bike's cost in a color of my 
(actually my wife and young lady we mentor's) choice: French vanilla with 
sky blue lug lining.

I will be anxious to hear how the Riddlers compare to the Cazaderos. I have

['jeffrey kane' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Like Kai says: the Jumble is worth a look. On the other hand - that's not a 
terrible deal for a canti 700c all-roadish bike that appears to fit 35's. 
Also considering that it's a Riv and may likely have that silky-magic Riv 
feel. Anyone know max tire size on a Rom? If it fits 38's then I might not 
hesitate.

NICE!  I stopped into Old Spokes Home this past Saturday.  No Island Line

hope to get back next year.
