[RBW] Re: PSA: Tiny Saluki/Homer at RBW any color you want

[Jason Fuller]

I'm kind of amazed it's still available. Most Rivs are too big for me, yet 
this one is too small. 

My fingers are crossed that Grant brings back the Bleriot one day

Andrew,

My 2007 Toyo Atlantis currently has a 68x118 BB paired with a Sun XCD with 
46/30 chainrings. Its a double crankset, but for what it's worth, that's 
what I'm running.

Hey Everyone,

I have some new wheels coming in and will likely be able to setup my 
Atlantis very soon.  I wondered if anyone could offer some advice on BB 
sizing?  I imagine someone will have a similar setup.  The frame is a 58" 
(bought from the group a few months back) and I plan to switch over a 
Sugino XD-600 triple I have from another bike.  I believe the inner ring is 
24t.  

Thanks in advance,

[RBW] Why I Might Delete a Thread

[Cyclofiend Jim]

Because my name (or at least position as "moderator") came up recently, I 
thought I'd share a couple thoughts.

- Off-topic?
There were comments that unless I step in and delete a thread, it's not 
off-topic. This is patently wrong. The topic of this group is clear.  The 
direction is clear. We are talking about guardrails. If we keep veering 
toward the guardrail because folks are piling on, that's going to degrade 
the quality of this group. You have the ability to not add momentum to the 
vector. Please take a moment to make a clear choice before posting.

- Adult behavior
The time I need to step in and delete a thread occurs the moment it gets 
personal and/or nasty. Deleting threads is a PITA and takes extra time I 
don't typically have. That's why I rely upon the members of this group to 
take responsibility for the content shared and tone taken. It's why the 
"new member bottleneck" exists. That minor delay is often very revealing as 
to how short people's fuse is and the speed with which umbrage is taken. By 
the time you've been unmoderated, I usually have a sense that you will be a 
contributing member of the community. I've only had to remove a handful of 
folks over the years.

- Moderator's perogitive
Of course, if I see a post that starts with "This may be OT..." then I'm 
just as likely to delete it out of hand. A casualty of early awakenings and 
strong coffee, the condition in which I usually am perusing new and 
moderated posts.

- My goal
Is to continue to fortify respectful communication between members here. 
Too many groups have long since devolved into generally nasty or snide back 
and forths - being glib or clever for some unknown agenda. I think we 
continue to show more restraint on hot button topics and I greatly 
appreciate that effort. 

- Random thoughts
Let's not extrapolate. Let's understand there's a real person on the other 
side of the conversation Let's continue to remember that each of us are 
imperfect individuals. Let's give one another the space to be wrong and 
change our minds.

Happy holidays to all and thanks for adding to the conversation.

- Jim / cyclofi...@gmail.com / moderator-admin

[RBW] Rivendell Banana Sack

[Joe Bernard]

Yes, this folding lock will fit in a Banana. It's a little fiddly to learn - 
tip: you will unlock it and drop the metal end on your frame, so don't be near 
your frame! - but once you've used it a couple times it's super handy for 
short-ish lockups in safe-ish areas.

[RBW] Re: What does a BMC Monstercross weigh?

[Clayton.sf]

I am 6' with saddle height (measured from center of bb to top in a straight 
line along the seat tube) of 76cm. I ride a 58cm monstercross (rim brake). With 
a 100mm stem this fits great with minimal spacers. Could ride a size up but 
prefer the 58cm. Hope this data point helps. I is a fantastic frame and while 
it may lack some of the flourishes of pricier frames its ride quality leaves 
nothing to be desired for me.

[RBW] Rivendell Banana Sack

[John McClusky]

I replaced my Saddlesack small with a Banana Sax and it’s worked out well.  
Unless I needed to carry a fleece or a jacket, I just wasn’t using the space 
offered with the Saddlesack.  It’s surprisingly large.  I hang it on the back 
of a Brooks Flyer Special with the springs.  I do find that the springs keep me 
from overstuffing it.  I’m sure I could mount it lower on the springs or get a 
little more clearance with Anna’s clever dowel rod hack but I haven’t felt the 
need.  I can fit multiple tubes, a large multitool, levers, patch kit, tire 
gauge, wallet, smart phone, snack bar, sunscreen and keys with a little room to 
spare.  The one thing I can’t fit in it is a U lock.  I strap that on the back 
rack with a dutch strap.  A folding lock might fit, though.  The two pockets 
are nice for organizing small stuff and the new ones have an internal flap that 
lifts up from the bottom to keep anything from falling out.  Access is easy 
although access to the Saddlesack was easier.  I could flip open the top to the 
Saddlesack and see and reach everything with ease.  The Banana Sax requires me 
to stack the contents more.  The reason I changed was mostly to try the Banana 
to reduce what I carry and to support Riv which I try to do occasionally 
despite not really needing much for my bikes. I also wanted to see what it 
would be like to eliminate the back-of-the-thigh rub.  I’d gotten used to it 
but like the Banana Sax better without the rub.  I personally like using the 
Banana Sax better than the small Saddlesack.  If I need to carry more, I strap 
a Wald and Shopsack on the front rack with an Irish strap.

John

Would love to hear why. My saddle height is 80.5, which puts me pretty much 
in the middle of Mike's saddle height range for a 60cm frame. I'm at the 
low end of the range for a 62cm frame. I'm 6' with long legs, short torso, 
and concerned I'd have reach issues with the 60cm TT on the 62 frame. The 
TT is 59 on the 60cm frame, which is also something of a concern. Any 
wisdom appreciated.

[RBW] Re: Thin Gripster alternatives?

[Ron Mc]

I'll add that I have an issue with the VP pedals - they have an ersatz wide 
spot that cost me a sprained ankle before I replaced them.  At their widest 
point, they're wide for no reason except to strike the ground.  
The widest safe pedals I use are Race Face Atlas, with Blackspire Sub Four 
a close second.

[RBW] Re: Alternative to Halfmitts?

[Matt B.]

I wish Riv would bring back the half-mitts!  They also work great over wool 
gripper gloves; I can ride in temps down into the teens no problem that 
way.  Anyway I have two pairs and have used the heck out of them.   I have 
had to stitch them back together a couple times when the original thread 
has failed.
