[RBW] Re: Walking boots -- not entirely unrelated to cycling

[Michael Morrissey]

I have the redwing chukkas, and another pair of redwings, plus a really 
expensive pair of dress boots called Vibergs, but my favorites are Danner 
Mountain Lights. They look like cop boots, but the soles are only slightly 
heavier than adidas sneakers. They work with wool socks in the winter and 
lighter socks in the summer. I rode my motorcycle 5000 miles with them, but 
also hike through snow with them. I can’t recommend them enough.

[RBW] Re: Walking boots -- not entirely unrelated to cycling

[Drw]

I bought redbacks for the same reason you noted. i sort of chose randomly 
between redback and rossi, because they both got better reviews than 
blundstones and were australian made. I havent really put them through much 
yet, but i wear them once a week, all day. So far so good, and they ended 
up being cheaper than blundstones. 

There's a guy on youtube who did extensive reviewing of all of these 
australian chelsea boots and came to the conclusion that because of the 
glue or the sole material (cant remember the specifics), the longer they 
sit without being worn, the faster the glue dries up/separates. He 
suggested buying directly from australia, so you don't get something that 
sat in an australian warehouse, then a long boat ride, then a US warehouse. 
he also suggested that you wear them every few days. 

Also he could be crazy.

[RBW] Re: Walking boots -- not entirely unrelated to cycling

[christian poppell]

FYI if anyone on the list were considering the Rossi boots.

I've been wearing a pair of Rossi Endura 301 for about three months now and 
I have not been impressed. The sole was poorly glued on the right boot and 
is now pulling away from the leather at the heel and outer sole. The back 
of the boot is unlined which rubs the back of my ankle all day. I got some 
thin calf leather and lined the inside heel which has helped. 

Those things aside, they are more comfortable to stand in than my Dr Marten 
Chelsea boots. The Docs are very thin with no arch support. 

I purchased the Rossi because they are made an Australia and my assumption 
was they would be higher quality. However, in the future I would purchase 
Blundstones or similar. My fiance, who is a muralist, has them and they 
have been durable and comfortable for her to wear all day painting.

FWIW & YMMV,

Christian

[RBW] Re: FS: 650B Nobilette Protovelo & Bruce Gordon Custom Road

[S. Greco]

your photos of rivendells, and of this bike in particular. were definitely 
the gateway to a serious riv addiction for me. this protovelo is such a 
special and unique bike.
i don't have anything against the new direction of riv offerings, but 
there's something very magical and nostalgic to me about this era of 
rivendell.

I have two LEFT-side 22.2 orphans, one silver and one black. These can

If these are of interest -- to you or others -- please let me know off-list.

[RBW] Re: Drop bar on MIT Atlantis?

[Brett Callahan]

Hi John,

I have a 59 MIT Atlantis set up with the Crust towel rack bars (in the 
smallest size, which are about 615 wide). 

I've used a short stem (Nitto Dirt Drop in 8CM) and a zero setback seatpost 
to minimize the length of the top tube and long effective reach of those 
bars. It's a comfy set up for me. I'd think that by playing with stem 
length, you should be able to run drops effectively. 

Best,
Brett in pdx

One of my Christmas presents. The blade locks closed as well as open, 6.5

exploring in the Sierra these days with tree mortality and reduced road

Re: [RBW] Re: Walking boots -- not entirely unrelated to cycling

[Patrick Moore]

Thanks, Peter, particularly for the photos. I'm tending toward the Redwing
Chukkas, but their moc-style boots might be an option if I want more ankle
coverage (I now understand that this is more to keep debris out than for
support). I recall now from 30+ years ago, that my, probably less well made
but still decent, LL Bean moc-toed boots were comfortable and lasted me a
long time.

Good to know about Redwing's refurbishing service as well; I don't know
about elsewhere, but cobblers are few here in Albuquerque; the last one I
hired worked from home by appointment; wonder if he's still in business.

[RBW] Re: WTB Nitto Dirt Drop Stem 80mm, 26.0

[Michael Baquerizo]

Hi - if condition isn't too much of a concern I have one. It's not in 
horrible condition but they're never really too pretty to begin with. I can 
send photos tonight when I can grab it from storage. I'd happily trade for 
the technomic.

[RBW] Re: Riv, brakes and super esoterica

[Bill Lindsay]

I remove the grub screws when using that hanger.  There have been bikes 
that had deliberately asymmetrical rear brakes (like 1990s Konas and 
Voodoos, some Ritcheys), where a lockable hanger like this would be 
helpful.  But with "normal" symmetric setups, they are not necessary.  Just 
one would be plenty even in an asymmetric setup.  Given most home 
mechanics' tendency to radically overtighten everything, I worry about 
people damaging their straddle cable by overtightening these unnecessary 
grub screws.

[RBW] Riv, brakes and super esoterica

[John Rinker]

Weird question, but I'm curious. 

The Tektro cable yoke has two grub screws to lock in the cable once it's 
positioned. Many cable hangers like Paul's moon units don't; presumably 
this allows the cable to self-center (or lose center?). Are the grub screws 
on the Tektro really necessary or even advantageous?

PS. Best brakes ad ever. In the early 2000s the Avid Arch Supremes ran an 
ad in bike magazines with the tagline: 'Good brakes help you stop. Great 
brakes help you fly.'

Mine are 31.8mm Shimanos and I have a pair, so I probably would just hold 
on to them.

[RBW] Re: FS: Rivsack Banana Sax, Paul Skewers, TRP Brake levers, Helix coffee dripper

[phil k]

An update on items. Thank you so much for reaching out to me. I'll try to 
get back to everyone this morning.

Only Rivsack Banana Sax is available. I've had a lot of request about the 
skewers, and levers. They along with the chainrings are spoken for at the 
moment. I'll update if things change.
