Re: [RBW] Best Rivendell for pavement riding

['Jonathan Poor' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Curious, what is a "tubeless tubular"?  My tubulars (aka "sewups") have 
tubes.

 Reminds me of a mountain bike I saw parked at my WDC apartment back 
 about 1987 with (IIRC) Scott AT-4 bar, disc wheels, and 1.5" Fatboy 
 slicks.

Re: [RBW] Re: daily post ur riv

['Jonathan Poor' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Hi Doug,

Sorry, I didn't see your question til just now...  that's cool about your 
99 riv std... our bikes are like brothers... is there a picture?

I really like the wood rims -- they are 36 hole, and they are built up with 
DT revolution spokes, which adds to the overall sensation of springy-ness. 
The rims are roughly 400 grams, which makes them equivalent weight-wise to 
many box section tubular rims, and lighter than the "aero" flavors... The 
only hassle really is that I have to swap out brake pads when switching 
wheels -- I use a cork-compound dura-ace brake pad meant for carbon rims 
(and wood is basically carbon fiber, right?). On the plus side, when I 
brake hard with this setup, I get a nice wood-smoke aroma wafting up...

[RBW] Re: Pedal Strike - LongLow

['Jonathan Poor' via RBW Owners Bunch]

 On one of my bikes, I have stiff plastic toe-straps. (I think they are 
 actually Campy straps) The ends of the straps sort of point downward from 
 the end of the pedal. They work sort of like a pedal-strike warning 
 whisker. I know to back off if the strap starts brushing the road...
