[RBW] FS: Tires/Small Parts - Nitto Struts, Frame Pumps, .

[David B]

Doing a deep dive of garage cleaning - goal is to not have any extra parts 
- just what I need to maintain bikes I have (Clem, Redwood, Clementine).

Prices below do NOT include shipping - which will be actual USPS costs from 
60171.
Contact me off list if you have any questions.
Happy to do local pickup if you can pickup in River Grove, IL.
Photos upon request.
Thanks, 
David

If Sam passes on this I will take it! If you are willing to ship 
international of course, I realise that can be a big obstacle. Going to try 
to work out how PMs work.

Mermaid by the water! It looks great and so happy you’re loving it so far.

[RBW] Re: Schmidt Wire with B Lights?

[Kieran J]

Agree with Ian about ordering what you need from PWC. They have everything 
you need (and then some) and are very cheerful to deal with. 

I find the B wiring easier to work with because it's smaller in diameter 
and the conductors are easy to separate and terminate. The Schmidt co-ax 
requires a bit more effort and precision to put the connectors on. The main 
tool you need is some decent wire strippers from just about any hardware 
store. 

I have never bothered to use solder to terminate them. Even sloppy crimps 
with pliers will do the job with some heat shrink over it. It's good skill 
to have, even at the 'crapsmanship' level, if you plan to run custom 
lengths inside fork legs, inside fender lips, etc.

Thanks, Ian. Sounds like that's the best thing to do as I'm not handy with 
solder and finding the right size connectors could be tricky.

[RBW] Re: Schmidt Wire with B Lights?

[Ian A]

If it is to run out to the tail light, the connectors from the light 
(assuming B/Schmidt etc) require 2.8mm female spade connectors. Either 
crimp or solder to the coaxial cable and heat shrink to insulate.  2.8mm 
spade connectors aren't too available at hardware stores. The connectors 
for the main light to the hub are 4.8mm (effectively 5mm) connectors, and 
it is easy enough to find 5mm female spade connectors at most hardware 
stores.

Best thing to do would be to contact Peter White for the right connectors. 
If you know the length of tail light run you need, he would be able to sell 
you a complete  run, ready crimped and heat shrinked etc. Having struggled 
with crimping those connectors and going through quite a few before 
successful crimpage was achieved, I'd recommend going the professional 
route. (Although my amateur wiring handywork has held up fine over a few 
years).

I received my first email from RIV about my Platy.  And so it begins.

Roberta, I'm interested in the handlebar choice too.  Tell me more.

Philip, I can't wait to see it..

[RBW] Schmidt Wire with B Lights?

[Justin Kennedy (Brooklyn, NY)]

I bought a Schmidt dynamo coaxial wire from a local bike shop. Each end is 
just a single straight unadorned wire, though, with no connectors. I need 
to use it with B lights which have two connectors set up like the below 
photo from Riv 
. 

Pardon my ignorance, but do I have to purchase the connectors from a 
speciality source or is this something I can get from a hardware store and 
DIY? If the latter, what exactly am I looking for? If the former, are there 
online sources? Thanks in advance.

Re: [RBW] Re: To My Platypus People!

[Roberta]

Anyone lucky enough to already have his/her 55 Platy, could you measure the 
effective top tube and post that here?   If it matters, I run the seat 
height around 72cm.

I sent Analog Cycles Losco and Albatross bars today (both already in my 
bin) and they will decide which will work best for me with the frame, but 
I'm curious while I wait. 

Thanks,
Roberta

[RBW] Losco vs Albatross 6mm Additional Sweep back--an additional 6cm

[Roberta]

I placed the Albatross on top of the Losco, lining up the clamp area.  The 
Losco extends back an additional 6cm.

I had looked previously and couldn't find this measurement.  Perhaps this 
information is interesting to someone.

Re: [RBW] Re: Basket Rack with Panniers?

[Collin A]

Jay - agreed that the Basket rack is not the best tool for the job, but its 
the tool I have right now and i'm not in the mood to spend another $280 on 
a (very nice) rack. I also don't know if I would like the impact the front 
load would have on the bike yet, hence trying to use what I have and give 
it a shot for a shorter trip (if its safe).

Mike - the panniers I have are the swanky PR ones that basically have those 
straps built into the carriers, so it would be redundant. BUT that is a 
good idea none-the-less when dealing with the "elastic-hook" style panniers

Bill - Thanks, the redundancy of the irish strap would be helpful. I also 
like the idea of drilling the T-plate for the extra daruma (I have a pair 
sitting in my parts box, so lucky me!), but not ready for that commitment 
yet. I think I'll give a shot with the irish strap and hit the nearby 
trails with a camping load and see how it goes (or doesn't).

Any other thoughts or concerns?

Re: [RBW] Re: Basket Rack with Panniers?

[Jay Lonner]

Collin, I think you’d be better off with a Pass and Stow rack for that 
application. (That’s what Michael appears to have in the pictures he sent.) I 
have one on my Hunq, and my wife has a Basket Rack on her Cheviot. The Basket 
Rack is great for lighter loads, but has too many points of 
articulation/loosening for heavy loads in rough stuff. The Pass and Stow is 
designed to do exactly what you describe, and is worth every penny.

[RBW] Re: Basket Rack with Panniers?

[Bill Lindsay]

I think it's worth a try but there are multiple places to add redundancy.  

If the diving board fails the whole assembly will rotate forward and that 
will be bad.  You should run an Irish strap to prevent that rotation. 
The telescoping lower strut should be straight vertical, but various 
twisting motions will make the single Nitto daruma try to unscrew.  If it 
were me, I'd run a zip tie around the strut and the T plate to help limit 
rotation there if it wants to loosen.  I'd almost consider drilling a 
through hole up high on that T-plate for a second Daruma.  That would be 
super-redundant and would prevent rotation permanently.

[RBW] Basket Rack with Panniers?

[Collin A]

Howdy Folks,

I wanted to poll some of the rivendell hive-mind wisdom here. I'm messing 
around with my current bikepacking setup and wanted to give a shot with 
front panniers to see how the bike handles. I don't have a dedicated 
pannier rack for the front of my bike, but I do have the RBW Basket Rack 
and the panniers I have do indeed fit. This 
Rack: https://www.rivbike.com/collections/racks/products/a7s5klhjwe-oith-lk5465a

So the question is, does anyone with more experience with low-rider-esque 
bag setups see an issue with using the basket rack with panniers on 
bouncier surfaces? There is only the connection at the fork crown and the 
drop outs (no mid-fork struts), and that is what is giving me pause.

Thanks,
Collin in Sacramento

Re: [RBW] Re: Pseudo-Rivendell Thread?

[Patrick Moore]

Thanks. Currently have the fat-tire Matthews here in Ft Worth for a week.
Crank on this one is a 175 mm Ritchey Logic 110/74, and that on the hub
geared bike is an old 170 mm TA Pro 5 Vis.

The light mount is really a rack support, except that the builder messed up
the lowriders; hope eventually to have them fixed.

Philip,  looking forward to seeing your full build and hearing your 
impressions. How could you have not openened the box immediately???  

Here’s my partial build. I’ll be getting it in a few weeks.
