[RBW] Re: Sackville Handlebar bag with Nitto support

[Matt Beecher]

I think these came with a nitto F15 rack.  Try searching for that, as 
several have sold here.

[RBW] New crank?

[Doug Van Cleve]

Howdy folks.

Have there been any pics or any info (other than it’s less chunky) about
this new crank set that’s coming out?

Thanks, Doug

Re: [RBW] Re: Show Me Your Atlantis!

[vernon brooks]

Luke thank you for the bike complement! 

Today I was driving back from Santa Cruz and saw a group of cyclists that 
appeared to be heading back from camping on Hwy 1 near Half Moon Bay. One 
of the people in the group was riding an Atlantis with rainbow top tube. 
Was it you by chance?  

I'm always happy when I see others enjoying their Rivs in the wild, 
especially when it's in such a beautiful setting.

Happy Sunday,

Vern in San Francisco

 Hi all,

 Enjoying this thread.  Here is my new Atlantis on its first ride, 
 March 30.  It is from the most recent batch of Atlantis frames.  I 
 collected parts slowly, built it up in super slow motion, and it felt 
 great 
 on that first ride.  Expecting a set of dyno lights from Peter White

Re: [RBW] Ride(s) Report: Sky Islands East and White Rim Canyonlands

[John Rinker]

Thank you Patrick! The Oracle Ridge tires roll very smoothly on pavement. 
Jan H says something about the knobs being hyperorganically, ergonomically 
placed or somesuch, and there does seem to be something to this. Or else, 
it's confirmation bias. But really, I do have a pair of Snoqualamie Pass 
tires on another set of wheels and both seem to roll very well on pavement. 
The OR were very fine tires for desert riding indeed!

Cheers, John

[RBW] Re: Dynamo Wiring inside the Fork and Frame?

[Jeffrey Arita]

Matthew,

Thank you for your post and your successful update.  This inspired me to 
try.

I have been successful for two different forks - one a modern Soma road 
bike fork and the other a mid-90's Trek Multitrack fork.  Used a bright 
yellow insulated 22 ga. stranded wire to fish with.  Was able to use a 
combo of a single wire strand from a discarded brake cable to 'hook' the 
wire out of the second hole or a very fine set of tweezers to grab it.  
Yes, lots of patience and pushing and pulling to see where that darn wire 
was.

I used (new) B double strand wire for the connections.  Removed about 1" 
of insulation from the B and removed about 1.5" of insulation from the 
yellow fish wire.  Twisted the stranded wires together to form a good 
decent bond.  *Gently *pushed and pulled the assembly through.  Lots of 
patience.

*Note: Like you I physically removed both forks from the bikes - yes lots 
of disassembly and time!   Mounted each fork in a vise for stability and a 
powerful flashlight. Was it worth it?  I think so.*

Best regards,

Jeff
Claremont, CA

[RBW] ISO/WTT/WTB: 90 mm +25* 31.8mm 4-bolt clamp 1.25" threadless stem; 30* might work too.

[Patrick Moore]

I'd prefer black. Again, 31.8 mm clamp, 4-bolt, 90 mm, 25* rise.

The current +17* 90 mm stem puts the very short reach Hover bar only
slightly too far forward, but (per Jim's stem comparo tool) a 90 mm with
more rise -- prefer 25* -- would bring the bar in by 8 mm and put it 1 cm
higher; a 30* would put it 14 mm closer and 15 mm higher which might be a
wee bit too much.

I don't need anything exotic, but I would like something black and not too
badly scratched.

Have various things to trade as well as cash.

Thanks.
