Okay so my coffee hasn't worked this morning, I'm blaming the covid. I need
to stress a point that I made in my head and not in my first response. The
downtube where it connects to the headtube is the most stressed, critical
part of a bike frame, do not drill a hole there. IF YOU REALLY HAVE
*cable guide not *chain guide*.
Always proof read folks!

There is already a hole in the BB where the chain guide attaches for
drainage. I would work out a way to use that and, like you said, drill the
hole in the seat post at the top. Leave the frame unmolested for future
owners/corrosion reasons.

I going to put a dynohub wheel on my Platy and wire it up for lights. I'm
thinking about drilling a small hole in the lug cutout under the downtube,
running the wire inside and up the seat tube, drill another small hole in
rear of seat post for wire to exit.
Anybody done that before? I don't
And congratulations on your Susie!

My one and only attempt at a paceline was on a Romulus with drop bars,
nobody thought my bike was different from their's, it looked like a road
bike. Leah got hit for being on a pullback bar mixte cuz it didn't fit a
stupid norm someone expected.
PS. Holy cow I was slow on that ride! Never

and acceptable standards (be that frame material, road bike-like design,
Would Leah have been treated differently if she showed up on a steel IF
club racer? What about a carbon platypus, if there were such a thing?
The frame material doesn’t matter. Her bike style was unusual, and that
seemed to bring out some attitude from some club members. To attribute that
to the

Well, Eric, on what else would you blame the bad manners in club riding
other than "We've got our CF racing bikes ready to go and 'who are you?'
coming into our regular bike formations bringing this relaxed steel bike
frame bike?" Wouldn't you think it welcoming to any and all who wanted to
How again do exotic frame materials bring about bad manners in club riding?
I'm really not seeing a causal relationship there.

pretty much the same regardless of what frame material I ride

As with everything, there can be good reasons for certain practices
initially, but people forget those reasons, and there's a slide... I can't
speak for what / how a given set of locals is doing it. My personal
experience with club rides has been overwhelmingly positive, whether it's

I just hope it stays fun, or more accurately you continue to find the fun
in it. Pacelines are notorious for attractng competitive grumpy people who
wouldn't know fun if it cracked them over the head with a carbon fork. Stay

Friday or Monday. Here it is Wednesday and I am getting anxious! I guess if
it doesn’t get here before we make our move back north, I can swing by and
pick it up on the way. Sure was hoping for a camp ride with it before we
leave but that window is closing in a hurry. Sure hope we hear
I finally got around to taking the fenders and front rack/bag off of my
bike. I only had time for a short ride, but it does seem to have a
significant change of feel. I never though that it handled poorly with the
front rack. The best way to put it is that maybe the bike seems "sleepy"

Have you heard of the Velominati? see https://www.velominati.com/ , kind of
a tongue-in-cheek look at cycling etiquette and cyclists.
By showing up on a Rivendell, you have obviously violated rule number 4: *It's
all about the bike*, and a lot of other rules, too.

Hi Leah,
One crazy perspective that might be interesting to think about is what you
experienced that day was what I experienced every day of my life growing up
as a Japanese-American in the 80's in the midwest (OK a little hyperbole
there, but real). This is in the backdrop of Vincent Chin being
Leah: Thanks for more enthralling narrative about the paceline Platypus.
Max: Thanks for the interesting "apercus" on paceline etiquette.
While reading Max's description of paceline concerns, urgent niggling
images of Rivendell Hillbikes in pacelines kept afflicting my imagination,
with 75
Here's a decent primer on pacelines by GCN:

Much better to learn by doing, of course. :-)
Also, I promise you will enjoy this read immensely:

I see your point, Max. And I think you’re right. If I don’t fall into line
visually, then I might not be wise in their ways and therefore put the group at
risk. And that’s a fair concern because I don’t have paceline experience (yet).
We do not ride super tight or at 25 mph, and I hope we never
Roadies are snobby, but potentially with good reason. Let me explain...
While there CAN be plenty of groupthink and cultishness / exclusivity in
road biking and club cycling that I don't care for, there are some good
reasons to enforce a certain amount of conformity when riding fast on paved
As usual, forgot some data: I want *hinged clamps* for ease of installation
and removal; the clamps will not (yet anyway) be mounted permanently.

See photos below. I want to mount a single dt shifter on the top tube to
shift my new TC and TF hubs (wheels built, been dragging feet in setting
them up) and run the cable to roller clamp near seat cluster and down to

This is disheartening to read but I'm glad you showed them that you can
hang with the group. I think there is a lack of understanding about
bicycles in general. I have learned much from the Rivendell philosophy and

Last night was the worst yet. There are a lot of group rides in the Club,
