Re: [RBW] Susie & Gus take a 40 day Vacation

After seeing a couple photos on Riv's IG I was really hoping we'd 
eventually get a trip report, and boy have you've delivered!

Cheers!

Re: [RBW] SON Rear Light Brightness?

[Sean B.]

Thank you for all the replies. I would like a SON rear light that's always 
on, and a secondary light. But, I dont have much room to mount a battery 
powered one. I was looking for some kind of hanging light to attach to my 
North Street trunk sack. The only hanging light I can find is Well 
google "hanging bike light" if you'd like.

Anyways, does any one know of a hanging light to attach to a bag?

I'm very glad to hear that! I was feeling guilty that I was burying the

Re: [RBW] SON Rear Light Brightness?

[greenteadrinkers]

I have a SON28, Edelux 2, and the SON rear light mounted on the backside of 
a Brooks. I don't feel totally safe with just the SON tail light, it's 
great that it's there, but I def. augment it with something much much 
stronger, namely a Diontte. I've been knocked off my bike three times in 
Philly, once I started to ride with a Dinotte, people def. could see me. 
The SON is cute, and it's nice to always have something on, but it's easy 
enough to overlook from a driver's point of view, and I'm not totally in 
love with the extra wiring going the rear of the bike. if I had this system 
built out again, I'd just go with a high-end battery-powered light, the 
Diontte is a game-changer in you have to ride in heavy traffic day or night.

[RBW] Re: The scariest Rivendell - Halloween Special - Pumpkin QuickBeam and Carbon

[Max S]

Thank you all for your comments, questions, and apologies for the delay – 
I've been absolutely slammed with work and family obligations. 

*Bill:*  Yes, I've seen that picture of Grant... But Spinergies... Yikes! 
:-) 
*Dave:*  Indeed!.. In seriousness, I have fairly low flexibility naturally, 
and sit too much at work, so my lower back doesn't tolerate well more 
saddle-to-bar drop than ~1-2 inches. I might also have a shorter torso for 
my height. Whatever the biometrics, this 58 cm QB fits great. 
*John:* Yes. This past couple of years I've been re-discovering 
single-speeding / fixed gear riding, and it's somehow more fun for me. 
*Eric:* I did build a commuter bike for my oldest using BSPs and, for a 
moment, used Schraeder tubes. Then got a new wheelset on iBOB and 
prest(a)-change-o! 
*Wally:* I've been riding the QB off and on with different wheels, 
including some aluminum rim tubulars. To be perfectly honest, I've not had 
the chance to glue these specific ones yet (see above about work, etc.), so 
I only rode the bike around the neighborhood. But I've some tubular tape on 
order and want to give it a go with the crabon hoopz. 
*Matthew:* Yes, post and stem are Ti, brushed finish. Post is an Eriksen 
setback. Stem is an Ibis, 90° / 95 mm or thereabout. I've had them on my 
Ibis Spanky, but alas, not enough stack on that bike anymore. Saddle is a 
Selle Italia SLR 135g version. 
*Joe:* Thank you. More than 11 - wow! Must be the spicy color. :-) 
*Ryan:* Currently geared 50x18. There are definitely days where it's too 
much, but I've also set some nice PRs for 40+-mile rides on it on dirt, but 
elevation gain around here is maybe 1,500-2,000 ft over that distance, with 
occasional < 5% short kickers. It's the downhills that get me more. :-) 
*Matt:* The rear mount is actually what came with a Cyclic Fly6 rear camera 
/ light. Not sure if it's strictly Garmin compatible, but possible. I think 
DCRainMaker might have more info on that?.. 
*Rob:* Yes, the wheelset came to me *via* another forum, and the original 
owner had it custom-built by Vanilla to match his custom frame. The red 
stripe ends up looking a close enough match for the deep orange of the QB 
that it somehow works. I can get unduly neurotic about color combos, so 
there's a good chance that after a few rides on these wheels I'll go back 
to my gray-painted Mavic Reflex tubies to match the post and stem. 
Otherwise I'll end up having to swap in a black post and black Salsa stem 
and black SRAM levers, and... well, you get the idea. Although, the winter 
is long here...

[RBW] Susie & Gus take a 40 day Vacation

[Joseph]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUGgOqEqOkc

took a 40 day vacation with bikes.  I ride a Gus and my friend, Tim, a 
Susie.  Check out the video above for a recap of events in sequential order.

The original idea was a skate trip by bicycles but with mediocre at best 
planning.  We would ride from Seattle to Oakland finding as much dirt and 
gravel as possible.  
We left Chicago by car on July 3rd with my wife, 2 dogs, 2 bikes and plenty 
of camping equipment.  We dropped my bike off in Seattle to get the front 
hub replaced and drove up to Orcas Island for some camping and skating.  
After 10 days of driving my wife dropped Tim & I in Seattle to begin the 
biking portion.  Yes, my wife dropped us in Seattle and drover herself and 
the 2 dogs back to Chicago by herself.  She is the best and has already let 
me know she will not be doing that again anytime soon. 
Free Range Cycles in Seattle was the starting point for the biking portion 
because that is where my bike was.  We had a late start and ended up 
skating under the bridge, Marginal Way, until dark with the Grindline 
crew.  A guy named Isaac gave us a place to crash on the flat bottom of 
there indoor vert ramp.  He also gave us a great route to hit skateparks 
along the way towards Yakima.  

We zigzagged through Washington hitting skateparks along the way. If you 
didn't know already the Seattle area has the most skateparks per capita.  
The route was not straight forward but the trip was not meant to be. We 
rode towards Yakima and hung for a day before making our way 
towards Bingen, WA.
After skating Bingen Park for a full day we hitchhiked across the Columbia 
River to get into Hood River, Oregon.  From Hood River we rode to Portland 
and instead of staying in Portland for 3 days we stayed for 14.  After 
about 8 days our friend finally asked how long we would be sleeping on his 
floor.  We originally thought we would ride the Oregon Outback but due to 
heavy fires thought best to just stay and skate Burnside everyday and do 
some s24o in the Portland area. (We plan on going back and doing the 
Outback in the early spring time).  We both were not interested in biking 
the 1 and used a Hertz bailout to rent a van and drive the 1 with our bikes 
to Oakland.  Saving our legs for lots of day rides and skating through the 
Oakland area. 
We stayed in Oakland for about 10 days and skated every single day expect 
one when we decided to take BART to walnut creek and ride Mt. Diablo.  
After sleeping outside on the Mountain we checked out Riv and took BART 
back to our friends place in Oakland.
After a good time in Oakland we took the Amtrak back to Chicago on August 
12th.
The big take away... Bring your bike to each town you visit so you can go 
where you want when you want.  Sometimes, listen to locals.  Lastly, 
carrying a skateboard while touring adds a lot of extra weight but totally 
worth it if you are still a 30+ year old skate rat.  

-Joseph

Re: [RBW] SON Rear Light Brightness?

[Mr. Ray]

I have the SON28, Edelux 2 and SON rack mounted tail light setup.  Tools 
required for a simple installation are zip ties (to secure the tail light 
wire to your frame), a crimping tool (for the spade and ring connectors 
that connect to the Edelux) and a heat gun/lighter (to shrink wrap the 
crimped connectors).

As for brightness, my only comparison is with an older SON, Edelux 1 and 
B Toplight setup and to my eyes the SON tail light is brighter.  
Regardless. for anyone behind you, a steady led tail light is far less 
annoying and blinding than a battery operated flashing one. 

If you want to save some money, get a B tail light.  Either way it's 
money well spent.

Re: [RBW] Re: FS Surly Long Haul trucker

[Ryan Nute]

I've had a couple 26" LHTs.  Fine enough bikes but not the same ride as a 
Rivendell.

Re: [RBW] SON Rear Light Brightness?

[Christopher Davis]

I have two bikes with dynamos one has a B top light small but the best 
solution I’ve found is the B taillight built into my Curana C Lite. I like 
the fender solution so much that that the bike with the top lite will get C 
Lite fenders simply for the ease and cleanliness.

Re: [RBW] Pick your brains about spoke count?

[Victor Hanson]

Ben,

Simplistically, no.  There's an art to wheelbuilding don't forget that.
But at your size, think more about rim section, ie: wider rims equal
stronger wheels and better tire distribution.  I am not familiar with the
Atlas wheelset, but pay attention to rim width.

Either 32 3x or 36 3x should build good wheels.  Don't cheap out on spokes
DT or Wheelsmith db ('cuz they tension up better).   Brass nips always.

Thank you very much. Definitely more Riv bikes in my future, that is when I

[RBW] Re: The scariest Rivendell - Halloween Special - Pumpkin QuickBeam and Carbon

Is that a garmin mount at the rear?  Is it for their radar/rear light?  
Where did you get it...or did you fabricate it?
