Let it be known henceforth and hitherto and forevermore and whatnot: Lone Wolf 
Leah will ONLY be showcasing the Next Level Clem in NDS photos. 

Why? Because the old dumb DS rule covered up the Next Level Clem’s best feature 
- its wild hubs.


Lone Wolf Leah (Insert seal of approval here. It’s a manhole cover.)

[RBW] Re: Lowrider racks on MIT Atlantis?

2020-06-04 Thread dougP

I use the Tubus Duo because it installs so easily.  I take mine off when 
not using & it's easy to do and the Duo takes up little room.  It's easy to 
ship the bike with the Duo.  This is on a Toyo Atlantis but I don't see any 
difference for other Atlantis.

That stuff is used in cars where you have a bunch of wires going to

Re: [RBW] Re: Favorite Rivendell model names?

I had a Scorcher. It was fun, but not in the same league as a Rivendell 
quality-wise. That bike was the brainchild of Wes Williams (and maybe Scot 
Nicol?) Fixed gear, 700 x 41 tires, Cresent style handlebars, Brooks 
saddle. Williams tigged the frames; used an aftermarket chrome cruiser fork 
with lugged crown.

The name came about because of a documentary at that time (early 90s) by 
Ted White, *Return of the Scorcher*. This referred to the name given to 
early bikes and riders in the late (18)90s, due to their speed. Fun fact, 
the movie was also responsible for linking the term Critical Mass to 
cycling--at an early showing in San Francisco, a group of activists picked

Re: [RBW] Re: Next Level Clementine

Eric, you know what that hub shiner is good for? When I put the bike on my bike 
rack, the arm comes down and presses into the frame to hold it. I position the 
hub shiner right under the arm bar to be a buffer for the paint. Otherwise, 
it’s just a lovely leather cuff - and most days, I wear a leather cuff on my 
wrist, too. Matchey!

That's a really cool next level bike. Oh, and I am totally stealing your 
hub shiner on the upper tube of the bike. Was trying to figure out what to 
do with mine. 

The bike has a great color combination. And the wheels are a great

Re: [RBW] Re: Pedals

2020-06-04 Thread EricP

Funny this subject came up now. Yesterday swapped out the MKS sneaker 
pedals on the Hillborne for an old set of VP pedals that have been on and 
off a couple of bikes over the years. Not sure which model. They do need to 
be mounted with an allen wrench and not a regular pedal wrench. They are 
big and wide. The downside to them has been they sometimes stick too well 
to both the Keens I like wearing and my shins. MKS sneakers end up giving 
me a hot foot on the right after about 20 miles. Hoping the extra surface 
area of the VP minimizes this. It's an old problem and one that has gotten 
worse after a knee surgery a few years ago. 

For the upcoming Clem, already have a set of the Clem pedals. Will try 
those first before any others.

Re: [RBW] Re: Favorite Rivendell model names?

My dirty little secret is I'm really not a fan of anything but the most basic 
names like Road or Mountain, and traditional sounding stuff like Clubman. 
Although the best name ever was the Ibis Scorcher. Scorcher is untouchable.

2020-06-04 Thread Paul Richardson

On their own, I don't love "Susie W. Longbolts" or "Wolbis Slugstone," but 
I think the name SUZIE WOLBIS is the bees knees.  I like it best 
misspelled, which I realize ruins the anagram, but phonetically it's the 
same and I hope I do more talking about my bike than writing about it.

Also love Bombadil, A. Homer Hilsen, and completely agree that Honus Wagner 
would have hook lined 'n sinker'd me, recalling the happiest days of 
teenhood, combing thru beat-up copies of Beckett magazine.

For years I believed the Benedict Cumberbatch was a 26" riv offering.  Very

[RBW] Re: Next Level Clementine

It's s rad! What impressed/surprised me the most is how clean and classy it 
still looks with all that color added. I mean I expected it to be great, but 
for some reason I pictured the wheels being way up front, ya know? Like "Hi I'm 
a really bright bike!" But it doesn't do that, it's still Leah's 50 Shades of 
Blue Clementine but with pops of contrasting color here and there. It ties 
together perfectly into what is honestly one of the nicest bikes I've ever laid 
eyes on. I'm INTO it! 

Re: [RBW] Today's ditchbank ride

Thanks; it was very enjoyable, and had I not started out fasting from last
night at 12:45 pm with just 1 waterbottle and no food, I'd have kept at it
a bit longer.

And you are right; I came across far fewer pedestrians and cyclists than I
would have a month or even a couple of weeks earlier; ABQ has opened up
stores and restaurants and gymns and other businesses, still with
restrictions, but I guess between going back to work, other leisure
options, and the hot weather (90s) the crowds have diminished -- tho' this
is NM, and "crowds" is very relative to our low inhabitants-per-sq-mile
metric.

Re: [RBW] Re: Favorite Rivendell model names?

My favorites are the Tolkein names -- Legolas, Quickbeam. Atlantis is
genius; as good as Legolas.

Longlow and All Rounder are earnest and honest everyday monikers.

I don't mind sheep and birds and pseudo-natural-history beasts -- Heron,
Cheviot, Hunquapillar. Hunquapillar has a nice Tolkein-esque ring; reminds
one of Sam's oliphaunts. "The Oliphaunt, by Rivendell." Mumakil would be
even better; a brutally tough off road bike; Deacon Patrick ought to be
riding a Mumakil if there were justice in this world. Crush those cogs. Or
you could tone it down and have the Heffalump if you don't mind trademark
battles with little Christopher Robin. The Rivendell Eeyore (let's not go
there).

Bleriot is fine too; it fits well enough that in my own teeming little mind
it seems to belong to the frame more than to the aviator.

Clementine is --- nice --- ish; does not make my heart go into tachycardia.
Sam Hillborne is acceptable.

I **do not like** Forest Gump-type names (I do like the character; not the
name): H Homer Hilsen etc etc etc. If I had a Rivendell Forest Gump, I'd
paint over the decal.

Re: [RBW] Re: Pedals

I started with bare pedals, added clips without straps, added straps, added
slotted cleats, switched to various sorts of clipless, notably Speedplays
and KEOs for road, the on a perverse whim went back to clips and straps and
very nice, ballet-slipper-like leather Rivats with slotted cleats on my Riv
Road fixed gear gofast. I would pull the strap tight enough to keep my foot
in place while pulling up and back, but not so tight that they were
uncomfortable, and had no problem reaching down to loosen when needed. Of
course, I never did 110% sprints, and toe strap buttons helped a great deal
in grabbing the strap with a fixed drivetrain. But better even than this, I
found a sweet spot for the straps that required no adjustment: Just tight
enough to hold your foot in place while torquing hard, but just loose
enough to pull your foot up and out, and then stick it down and in, with a
bit of a twist to work the toe into the loop and the slot over the pedal
cagae. And, the odd thing, I found it considerably easier to get into and
out of the RX-1s + Christophe clips + nice laminated straps kept
semi-tight, than I did with the damned slippery all-plastic KEO pedals and
cleats. I am even today tempted to go back to clips and straps, with
slotted cleats for longer rides, and street shoes for errand rides, but
SPDs are just too convenient. 76" gear, so I do have to stand and pull hard.

Re: [RBW] Next Level Clementine

Leah: The bike and the colors and the story are all very appealing. I like
the use of cable housing clamps for light wiring guides.

Eric (or anyone): is there a technical name or product name for that wire
bundling caterpillar stuff?

Back to Leah: Are your wheels "twenty six inch" or 650B? (I can tell
they're not 700C.) I'm curious because my new Chauncey Matthews pseudo-Riv
will take 26" X 45mm tires with fenders and I've heard much good about
the Gravel Kings; it would be nice to have an alternative to the Nachez

[RBW] Re: Favorite Rivendell model names?

2020-06-04 Thread Collin A

Clayton, that might be a bit too Metal for Riv.

Fav: Hunqapillar, clever, and it is a bike I have lusted for as long as I 
have been aware of Riv. Still kicking myself for not picking one of the 
demos up when they were on sale.
Close Second: Wolbis/Susie, mostly for the headbadge of the slug and a long 
bolt.

Least Favorite: Leo Roadini, can't quite tell why, though...

Cheers,
Collin in Sac

2020-06-04 Thread Brady Smith

A Homer Hilsen is my favorite by far. I’ve wanted one since I first heard of 
it, long before I realized that it was also the perfect bike for the kind of 
riding I do.

Atlantis is a distant second, followed by Sam Hillborne and Joe Appaloosa.

 Hooray for your Clem of Many Colors, Leah!  All of the fancy anodized 
parts look fantastic and congratulations to you for exchanging the 
handlebars.  I'm glad you love your new wheels and that the project turned 
out so well.  Your Clementine will be giving you years of enjoyment.  

After you've ridden it a bit, I hope you'll give us a review of the 
wheels/tires and what the lighter wheel set does for your riding pleasure.  
Inquiring minds and future Platypus owners want to know!

[image: 33734226718_67dc7f7e76_c.jpg]
So this is kind of a different direction, and I'm not sure how the 
standover looks, but I was messing around with a Boston-/Terry-design small 
front wheel Marinoni and could get a 650bx38 in the rear and a 26" Kojak 35 
(actual width 32mm on Cronometro wheel/rim) in the front. Decent clearance 
all-around. The small front wheel bikes are usually pretty cheap when they 
turn up on craigslist. Generally not as nice as my Marinoni, but probably 
still lighter frames than you'll see in your average production small-frame 
ATB or hybrid. Though there certainly were higher-end production 
small-frame ATB/Hybrids built.

[RBW] Re: Pedals

2020-06-04 Thread Paul Brodek

VP Harriers are my favorite wide pedal. They are flat all the way to the 
crankarm, which some big/wide patform pedals are not. Just sold off a pair 
of Spank Spike pedals for that reason. Some big/wide platforms put a very 
large bearing/bushing next to the crankarm, and do away with a protruding 
axle with pedal flats. Which may make them more durable for downhill 
thrashing, but it usually puts a bulge in the platform at the crank side, 
so your feet can't sit as close to the crankarm. If you like wide Q, fine; 
if not, no bueno. Find a side view of the Spank, or check this 'sploded 
view:
https://spank-ind.com/apps/help-center#!how-often-should-i-service-my-spank-pedals-what-service-is-necessary

There are other pedals with similar designs out there, so watch out for 
that if you like a narrow pedal stance.

The VP Harrier recall is only for 1st-gen pedals which _do  not_ have an 
axle retention nut. First-gen Harriers used a flat-head cap screw for axle 
retention, and that's the design that failed. VP's website doesn't mention 
the difference, but Giant's and the CPSC's do. Giant OE'd Harriers, 
Giant-branded, so they were also involved with the recall. I bought all my 
Harriers at least 5-6yrs ago, and they were already all v2 nut-end. I never 
knew there was an earlier version until I started looking into the recall. 
So if you got yours recently, should be no worries. And a very quick visual 
inspection makes the difference very clear.
https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2020/vp-harrier-and-giant-pinner-bicycle-pedals-recalled-due-to-fall-and-injury-hazards-made

My favorite weight-weenie pinned platform is the Xpedo Spry. Very light at 
maybe 260g/pr, supportive, good/sharp shin-shredding pins.
https://xpedo.com/product/pedals/flats/spry/

This is a product category that has significantly widened over the past few 
years, and I latched onto the Harrier and Spry when there weren't as many 
alternative available. I'm sure there are plenty out there equally good, 
maybe a couple/few better somehow, but I like the Harrier/Spry enough that 
I'm not tempted to dip my toe back into the waters. Well, maybe now that 
the topic's been raised, I'll look at lighter alternatives to the Harrier?

And the Catalyst pedals do look interesting, though even with Harriers I 
don't find myself comfortable with arch pedaling. I understand the Catalyst 
is more supportive for that, but I haven't been motivated to give them a 
try yet.

[RBW] Re: Pedals

Doug, I too found that the side I wanted was always facing down (perhaps a 
switchable plug-in weight that screws in on the opposite side of the one 
you want to use? Oh, make it magnetic...). The last time I used these 
pedals was when I fell avoiding a rock (on my Raleigh RX1 cyclocross bike), 
and the teeth gashed my ankle. I was outraged. I couldn't believe pedals 
like this were even allowed on the market! I was all set to write my 
congressperson and leave scathing reviews everywhere, but eventually, I 
reset to owning my s#*t, and let it and the pedals go.

[RBW] Re: Pedals

Thank you for the link. I love all things magnetic and these pedals are 
very interesting; the clipless pedal twist requires muscle-memory that can 
be challenging for some. Magnets would allow for a simple lift-off, which 
the brain already knows. The bio-mechanics inspired pedals are *very* 
interesting as pedaling into my 60s has brought some attention to my knees. 
I shall investigate these further ;-).

Only if you would like to get sued. Anyway, I think they pretty much tapped 
that vein. Gandolf? Gimli? Aragorn? Sauron? Shadowfax? Galadriel might have 
been okay for the new Cheviot. *

*I did not use Google, or my faded memory. I am half way through the Two 
Towers with my ten-year old. PS. I was recently informed that it is 
actually a single novel, not a trilogy, broken up into 6 "books", two under

trivia game or those "in the know" to make a big deal out of?

[RBW] Re: Pedals

My pedal of choice is the Velo Orange Grand Cru Sabot 
. 
I gave up clipless (Shimano dualies) because I unclipped on the wrong side 
one too many times (hemispheric reversal: I *know* which direction, but my 
brain sends the instructions to the opposite side). The MKS pedals hurt, I 
could feel those spikey things through the soles of most of my shoes, only 
my Keen bike sandals shielded my foot. I have metatarsalgia, a fancy name 
for a frequent result of flat feet, such that the ball of the foot has very 
little padding, so the pressure of pedaling is placed on unpadded bone. 
Orthotics make walking fine, but there aren't orthotics for pedaling which 
utilizes only a portion of the foot. The Sabot also accommodates a foot 
strike that comes down slightly off the geometry-presumed target for 
whatever reason, a few of which could be feet that are on the edges of the 
bell-shaped foot-size curve, hips that are wider resulting in an outside 
edge strike, or unusually long or short femurs resulting in a natural 
strike fore or aft of center.

That's good to know...i'm sure there are safety precautions to consider but 
anything that's not spec'd out by a bike or parts manufacturer should be 
regarded that way.

I agree re: the blagh posts...and have no experience w the flex in steerer

2020-06-04 Thread 'Eric Norris' via RBW Owners Bunch

Leah:

Nice install. If you want to clean up the appearance of the wires leaving 
headlight, you might want to try some of this wire bundling stuff:



It’s bendy and split down one side. Just cut to length and slip is on. The 
headlight in the photo, like yours, has two sets of wiring coming out of it. 
The plastic stuff hides the wires and keeps them protected from inadvertent 
damage.

[RBW] Re: Favorite Rivendell model names?

I like Homer. Don't know about the Hilsen part, I tend to be on a 
first-name basis with my bikes. I'm not sure why, perhaps because I also 
like the 'Henry' rifle; or maybe it is just a baseball or Simpsons 
connection. Just something old-timey day about those names. I like Sam too 
although I have never bothered to look up who it is named for, just a good 
'buddy' name. I'd name a step-thru bike Susan B. for Susan B. Anthony and 
call her Sue. You know, like the song, "A Bike Named Sue".

I like 'Hunquapillar' a lot because it describes the bike, so perhaps 
another would be the 'Gazellapillar' or ... Same for Cheviot although I 
couldn't get the 'ut' pronunciation down (despite living in a town spelled 
Prescott, but pronounced 'Preskitt').

The most genius name is 'Rivelo' which is the independent Rivendell bike 
store in Portland, not a bike. I am not a big Lord of the Rings trilogy fan 
(but every guy I have ever been with is/was), or I would undoubtedly be 
able to come up with new names. 

Cheers.

It looks extra wonderful.  Those silver clamps, compared to zip ties, are 
so classy.  Love the rainbow nipples.  Most of all, though, I love that the 
front dyno is red with an orange light and on the back, you have an orange 
hub with a red light.  So nicely pulled together.

I'm especially happy that you had three glorious miles with Dyno and 
tubeless GravelKings.  You, me, and another other #RivSister M. took a leap 
of faith with tubeless and I think it's safe to say we are all quite happy 
with the ride.  The Edux light you got I think is the same one I got and is 
super bright compared to my other Dyno light.

It's nice that the bike shop stood up to the quality of your bike with the 
quality of their work.

Atlantis, Bleriot, Romulus, Redwood, Hunqapillar are awesome. I can't get into

Re: [RBW] Re: Next Level Clementine

Mark - do I really deserve the weight weenie label if I have 2 handlebar bags 
and front AND rear racks? 

I’m starting to think of this bike as the Clem of Many Colors, but Kaleidoscope 
Klem definitely works, too...

Ryan - the reason you feel angst over my bike problems is because I come over 
here and publicly howl over them. Sorry about that ! But, do you also feel my 
joy when it all gets solved? I hope so! Yes, I have spent a LOT of money on 
this bike, but I regret nothing. I love love love a step-through and in RBW 
Blue, it’s just, well, I have heart eyes for it. You’ll understand when you get 
your Clem built up and on the road. 

I can’t tell you how nice it was not to swing a leg over my bike last night; 
I’ve gotten used to the giant 52 Clem H I’ve been riding in place of my 
Clementine. I had about zero standover, and I felt like I was riding my best 
friend’s giant quarter horse, back in girlhood.

Well, this cup of coffee is finished, and the sun is already high in the sky. I 
best get out there before the temps get much warmer. I’ll be back later!

[RBW] Re: Favorite Rivendell model names?

2020-06-04 Thread Chris L

There are quite a few RBW bike names I really like and a few I really 
dislike.  

Maybe due to the fact that I came on board with RBW in 2011 when there was 
already a long line of past bikes with established names, I like most of 
those names.  They just seem right.  

I'm not a fan of bikes named after people but I don't hate them, either.

I really dislike Gus Boots Willsen and it's anagram bike names.  

I didn't care for Platypus at first but now I think it's a cool bike name, 
just not for the bike it's attached to.  The Platypus, in my mind, should 
be a bike more in the Hunqapillar/Bombadil vein. 

My favorite post-2011 bike name is probably "Appaloosa".  However, I could 
live without the "Joe" part.

Leah,

Feel all is right bicycling wise in the SW now.  Somehow I feel more angst over 
your bike issues than my own.  

On a side note you could have afforded your own personal Anniversary 
Butterflied Mixte Custom with the ultimate Rivendell Name by now.

Happy night riding!  It is a special world out there alone.

Leah,
That ‘tricked out’ Clem is fantastic. The sum of the parts equals stylish 
delight. I think making a non-custom bike yours creates a custom bike! There 
are other Clems but that one is yours and there are none like it. Congrats on 
your persistence and for sharing the results. I like it!

One would be:

https://youtu.be/D89GXGKD2I8

Another would be Roadini. Which always makes me think of Houdini. Which 
makes me think magic. But I don't think I would actually want a Roadini. 
Though if someone gave me one I would take it.

All the names are interesting and fun. Much more so than CAAD 12 or Madone 
or Allez  or TCR Advanced SL 2.

Waiting for the sheep to rack up some points.

Maybe Bleriot for me. Or Protovelo. Although having one on order, the name 
Clem Smith Jr. will probably become the favorite. It does have my favorite 
decals and headbadge.

Strange, never have thought about liking or not liking the name Sam 
Hillborne even though that's the bike that's stuck with me the longest.

[RBW] Re: FS: Early Rivendell Road

2020-06-04 Thread Joseph Tousignant

Hi, a 54 cm frame is already pretty small, but adding a shorter stem will 
make it feel like a 52 cm at least. If you like the bike otherwise, I'd 
keep it for the history and early shorter chain stay specs & fitting 
narrower tires from what I can see.

Re: [RBW] Re: two rivendells for sale

Dont know my pbh. I used to know but can't remember. If it helps, I am 5'9"
with about a 30" inseam. I am using tubes currently. Not sure on the spoke
count. Will have to look.

[RBW] WTB: Grey Sackville SaddleSack XSmall Size

2020-06-04 Thread Paul B

Realize this is super specific:  I'm looking to buy an *Grey 
XSmall Saddlesack *for my wife's new Clem when it arrives, because she 
doesn't like any other color and I love her!  

❤️

No other colors please except maybe black or dark blue (did they ever even 
make black?). Message me if you've one you want to sell! Used in not-smelly 
condition is probably OK.

Paul

[RBW] Re: Roadini - 650b on bigger sizes?

2020-06-04 Thread Zack Medow

GP would probably say that they have loads of bikes like that. More mounts = 
weight = any of their touring oriented models. But if you’re referring to 
cheaper tig welded models, then yes I definitely agree.

[RBW] Re: Pedals

2020-06-04 Thread Nick Payne

I like clipless MTB pedals, and now have Speedplay Syzr pedals on all my 
bikes, as I dislike float in pedals, and the adjustment screws in the Syzr 
cleats allow me to lock out all float on them. It's also extremely easy to 
re-grease the pedals - undo a small grubscrew at the outboard end of the 
pedal body and use a needle grease gun to pump more grease in until excess 
appears past the seal at the inboard end.

Unfortunately the availability of Speedplay products is up in the air at 
the moment - since Wahoo bought the company last year, the Speedplay web 
page for the pedal says "This product is currently not available. At this 
time, future availability has not been determined." However, I've been 
using Syzr pedals on my bikes for the past three years or so, since they 
first appeared on the market, and the cleats for them look like they're 
going to last many years, as they're still more or less completely unworn. 
When it looked like the pedals and cleats were going to disappear off the 
market, I went out and bought three or four spare pairs of pedals with 
cleats, as I figure that should keep me going for the next 20 years or so, 
by which time I'll be almost 90...
