[RBW] FS: NOS components: XT, XTR, Brooks and other new, but not old school stuff.

[NYCbikeguy]

 

Hi All,

Here's some stuff from my parts bin. all are new/unused:

XT m750 brake shifter combo for v-brake ($250)

XTR m970 brake shifter combo for v-brake ($350)

Brooks springed saddle OLD LOGO/BADGE ($140)

Ortlieb gravel packs ($170)

Surly front rack ($110)

Wald 139WW wood base ($85)

Discord Components quill stem 0 reach 31.8 clamp ($180)

OGK Gear cover set (sold by rivbikes back in the day. receipt as evidence) 
($35)

These three go together and were certified by a shimano rep for 
compatibility regardless of what it says on the compatibility chart. 
caveat: must be a 1x system. shifters are technically a 2/3x11, and that's 
the only reason it's not listed as compatible on the chart. save the left 
shifter for another project for friction shifting.

Dura ace 2/3x11 bar end shifter SL-BSR1 ($90)

GRX RD-RX812 ($100)

XT CS-M8000 11s 11-42($100)


My apologies if the pictures are not in order.

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1iOW3hKfb-Jj5gWxDGT3-gQY6HgV_3iFO?usp=sharing

I have a ton more to let go of, so doesnt hurt to ask if I have anything 
you might be looking for.


Shipping for small stuff will be $5-10

bigger stuff like the wald basket and the panniers may be more.

Happy shopping!

Re: [RBW] Re: How do I know when a saddle fits?

[ascpgh]

Emily, I have dealt with roughly your sort of physiological dimensioning my 
whole riding life and currently have three variations of coping, each with 
saddles that bear varying results. Those results have inseparable 
connection to how well each of the bikes they are on fits me. 

My commuter is a stock Surly Disc Trucker "box bike". I added a Brooks 
B-17, pedals , Nitto RM 013 handlebar, dyno hub/ lights and a shorter a 
stem. The frame size that produced the best reach to the handlebars 
required a long  extension of the seat post and would have required a 
pretty high angle stem for those bars to be level with the seat, my comfort 
zone, and would also need significant setback dimension of the seat post 
head. The frame size that gives the best pedaling position requires a short 
stem to keep me from reaching, sort of. I still feel like I reach for the 
bars on that bike and do not ride it more than 20 miles. Even on the bigger 
size I find my legs drive me to slide back on the seat, onto the cantle 
(that metal thing) for many climbs before I pedal out of the saddle. Lots 
of compromises but it's my 14 hour lock up bike.

My Rivendell Rambouillet was the best stock bike fit to my body I'd ever 
experienced and prevented me from going custom. Grant envisioned it as a 
long hours in the saddle sporty/light touring bike in the French 
audax/randonnour-inspired design for comfort over hours of riding. Shorter 
top tube than seat tube, with 2° upslope and 2 cm extended top head tube 
lug all conspired to provide this. It all conspires to fitting me well. It 
was a stock build kit from Riv with the B-17, RM 013 bars, I added the 
fenders, and changed the derailleurs, shifters and brakes. I do pedal from 
the saddle quite a bit more than others in groups before getting out of it 
and standing for hills. I still find myself sliding back on the seat for a 
rearward position to get some pushing forward on the pedal strokes when 
going uphill. That puts me on that cantle again, less than on the commuter 
but with the bars in more comfortable reach.

I finally did go custom to for the sort of riding I have available and 
enjoy from my front door. I've refined what I look for in saddles, 
acknowledging that I do stay on the saddle across more terrain than others, 
scooting rearward for that pushing bit where others pop up, pedaling out of 
their saddles. That fore and aft position range has made me a connoisseur 
of saddle tops that have a platform of surface wide enough for my sit bones 
but also retaining that in the longitudal dimension of my back and forth 
positioning. I want that platform to be level and I don't want extra 
material rubbing my legs. 

I am using a Rivet Pearl with cut out on my custom bike. The cut out lets 
the centerline of the leather "hammock" between the nose and cantle without 
the same amount of weight my sit bones applied to those spots that breaks 
in the points where they do bear weight. Without the cut out, that leather 
remains a linear high ridge from front to back where the less skeletal 
portions of my rear end are perched. I thought I had picked perfectly when 
I chose the Rivet Diablo but after three months' riding and several 
centuries everything was breaking in nicely except for that ridge line down 
the center and it was creating discomfort. They were quick to respond to my 
issue and sent the the cut out version of the Pearl which has been perfect 
ever since. 

Hope this is of some help to your situation.

[RBW] Different tire size front and rear.?

[Bernard Duhon]

Gang,
In my quest for fitting the largest tires my frames will take, I have put a 
larger tire on the front 38 mm of my 700 C and 35mm  in the rear.

On my 650 B conversion of a 700 C bike I have a 42 mm in the front and a 38 mm 
in the rear.

The larger tire is 3.5 mm taller than the smaller tire on an unweighted bike
I suspect the lower tire pressures would result in an even smaller difference 
when I ride  the bike.

In any event I have noticed little difference.

Am I missing something here?

Bernard

[RBW] ISO: 10-speed spacers

[Patrick Moore]

Welp, the otherwise very competent LBS that built my new Oracle Ridge
wheelset flubbed my special order of a dozen 10-sp Shimano spacers. I stole
the spacers from the older, Soma slick wheelset, but I'd like to find at
least 9 and up to a dozen 10 sp spacers. A second LBS I checked with just
now doesn't carry loose spacers, at least, unless you can find them in an
 ods-and-ends bin.

Does anyone have spares, or perhaps a worn out or otherwise unwanted 10 sp
cassette? They measure IIRC about 1.6 mm.

Thanks. Happy to buy, trade, or accept charity.

Re: [RBW] Re: tektro 559 left-right adjustment screw

[George Schick]

LOL, indeed!  Shimano SP brakes have a small notch on the brake arm closest 
to the fork crown so you can center it before tightening the brake mounting 
bolt.  Looking at the Tektro brakes on one of my bikes, it has no such mark 
- so you have to clamp the brake arms together to get them as close as 
possible to even before tightening.  That adjustment set screw is just 
there for minor tweaks in the final adjustments.  Sounds like the brakes on 
that bike were mounted and tightened way too unevenly before any set screw 
adjustment was done.

In a van down by the river?  :). SF Bay Area. I have an interested party

Re: [RBW] Re: Ron's Ortho... stem question

[scott minor]

I've been happy with a 120mm lugged stem w Orthos on my 62cm Atlantis. 
 Sometimes when I'm jumping on the bike quickly I get the feeling my bars 
just slipped downward but actually they just flexed!  So the stem is 
grabbing pretty well to not slip in this scenario.  The stem has pronounced 
rigidity as well so the flex is limited to the bars.  I'd think the Ritchey 
force would behave the same way, which in my view is a pretty nice balance 
when it comes to Orthos.

 - Faceplater 110mm
 - Faceplater 135mm
 - Tallux 12cm

 Will the 110 Faceplater be too short?

[RBW] Re: Silver shifters, v1 vs. v2

[ian m]

I have completely disassembled and reassembled more than a couple times, 
both intentionally and un. I have run my set on both the downtube and 
bar-ends on more than one bike, and my wife has a set on the bar-ends of 
her Hillborne. We have broken so many plastic washers trying to keep them 
from slipping that I have multiple back-up bags.

On checking the Riv product page now it looks like the complete shifters 
come with a "new and improved" plastic washer that isn't available 
separately. Can anyone speak to an improved user experience? I have the 
older L/R version rather than the newer X/O version also.

I do think these shift fantastically and are in every way superior to the 
Sunrace shifters I used previously, it's only the slippage that grinds my 
gears.

Re: [RBW] Re: Ron's Ortho... stem question

[Dan]

Chris, can I ask how this ended up working for you? If so, what shim did 
you use?

I've set up my Appaloosa with the Orthos and a 120mm VO single-bolt 26.0mm 
stem.
The comfort and control is FANTASTIC, but I can make the bars slip if I 
push down on them hard. So far it hasn't happened while riding, but it 
makes me feel a little uneasy that it might be possible.

I'm wondering if I need to go for a 31.8mm Nitto faceplater or, *gasp*, a 
threadless adapter and threadless stem :S
