[RBW] Re: 1947 French touring bike — Bombadil/Hunqapillar inspiration?

[Joe Bernard]

I don't know anything about the French bike but I don't think Grant was 
inspired by any particular one when he started fiddling with extra tubes. 
There was an early Rivendell Reader (I guess they're all early now) with an 
article all about triangulation and bridge trusses and stuff, I think it 
started there.

Re: [RBW] Re: Things I Feel Guilty About: Bike Life

[JAS]

Oh my gosh, Leah...these are a riot.  What's even funnier is your plan to 
add the evidence to the graduation slide show; he'll really love that!

Your dog wasn't being tortured; he was happy to be there in whatever way he 
could smush his body into the backpack or basket.  Happy to be with his 
people and not left behind.  

To all who have "tortured" their kids and significant others with rides 
that were too long or bikes that weren't up to snuff, forgive yourselves!  
They had bikes and you made time to ride together.  Good for bonding, fresh 
air and fun.  My hat is off to you!

More riding to you!  ponchos are great for short jaunts.

 I don’t like riding in the rain but if it’s not too bad I’ll ride home 
from work wearing my CleverHood Cape, dazzle print in the tall size for 
more coverage

[RBW] FS: White Industries, Pacenti, Ibex

[Michael Ullmer]

Cross posting from I-bob:

1) White Industries 17t Freewheel - $50
--In great shape, a few cosmetic markings on the red face.

2) Pacenti Pari Moto 650b x 1.5"/38mm Tires - $50
--brand new. I bought these as a backup in case my Trek 650b conversion 
didn't fit 42s, which it does! These are the tan version.

3) Ibex Wool Liner Gloves - $25
--Used, no holes or rips. A little big for my hands.

Prices are net to me and don't include shipping. I'll plan on shipping 
using Pirateship.

Re: [RBW] Rivendell Legos!

[Patrick Moore]

It has been 16+ years since I bought my daughter little kid/big size Legos,
but I seem to recall that back in the old days (he said bitterly) that
Legos were simply standard shapes out of which the child could build
whatever he or she imagined. I know that 25 years ago or so my then
elementary school age nephew and a couple of friends built a whole
civilization out of Legos that lasted several years -- I seem to recall it
was a mix of violent Viking barbarism and Roman jurisprudence, with its own
constitution and code of draconian laws. They had not heard of Boxen. Is it
all theme kits nowadays?

[RBW] Re: Front Derailleur Suggestions

[Eric Marth]

I'm not a mechanic or an expert. But I've set up two compact doubles in the 
past year:

   - On my Hillborne: A SunXCD 42/24 with a Suntour Cyclone (Mark I)
   - On my MB-2: A TA Specialities 42/28 with a Suntour AR

In both instances I had to run the derailer a lot higher than I thought I 
should to get the jump. It looked so wrong I almost abandoned the crank. 
But then I looked closely at other compact doubles and found FDs run higher 
than conventional wisdom dictates. The same was true when setting up an SR 
mixte, had to run the FD pretty high to miss the chainstay but it shifts 
fine. 

Your mileage may vary.

 It's a White Industries VBC with 46-28. FD is IRD compact triple

 Any suggestions for different FD? May need different chain rings 
 because of that big jump, but if I do that, I may be best off buying 
 something else and selling these.

 Thanks,

[RBW] WTB: Silver Paul Short Pull Levers

[matt miller]

I'm pretty sure this search will be met with crickets, but figured I'd ask 
here before I order. In case anyone wants to get rid of a pair of Paul 
canti brake levers, I'm looking to buy. (For some reason long-pull brakes 
were installed on my Homer. My wife has Pauls on her bike. I tried them, it 
worked well, and now I don't want to go with different levers!)

Thanks,
Matt

[RBW] Re: Seat Post Slippage

[Drew Henson]

Update - I put some park tool super grip on there for a little extra 
stickiness. Anyone have experience with this stuff? Do you just use this 
alone on a seat post or is it combined with some grease on the lower part 
of the post?

[RBW] WTT: Nitto Noodle for your Spank Flare 25 Degree bars

[maxcr]

I'm looking to explore some flared dropbar action on one of my builds - as 
the title says, I what to trade my Noodle for your Spank Flare 25 Degree 
bar, ideally in 50 or 52cm width.  

My Nitto Noodle is a 46, it's in great condition and I'll throw in a set of 
basic Shimano brake levers (Tiagra) to make up for the price dif.

Thanks!

Max in Boston.

But substituting OS Regular did what I described.In any event, good luck with the sale and getting new wheels. I too much prefer tubeless off road. I said that you can patch tubes full of sealant, but it sure ain't a job you'd want to do trailside in a desert with sealant-dribbling tube and only sand on which to spread your stuff around.My Rangers are mounted on far too narrow OEM 24mm OW Alex rims on a 2012 Monocog 29er with rear stays considerably too narrow for anything much over 55 mm, yet with age the Rangers have spread from 69 mm to (in front) 73 mm; 72 mm in back -- this at 13-15 psi; if you pump to 20 the tires expand so much that the rear is locked against the stays. The rear tire is improperly seated on the very many layers of Stan's rim tape and the runout brings the knobs to within literally 1 mm of the left chainstay, 2 mm on right. I mean to have the rear rim retaped (I leave such non-spec conversions to professionals) and the tire seated properly. One day God willing I'll replace the Monocog with a frame and wheels that allow a true 76 mm + 1 cm side clearance at all 4 stays.On Fri, Feb 24, 2023 at 1:13 PM A. D.

Hoch you thinking of getting one or did you find a 58 and wondering if 
it'll fit? It took me a few years to find mine so if you find one in your 
size, be ready to act :)
