2023-09-15 Thread Abe Gardner 
 My friend’s Sam Hillborne needs a new rear wheel and could use a new front 
wheel to make a set. Near Berkeley or Napa is ideal.

Needs:
700c
Wide-ish: tires will be from 40mm-55mm
9 or 10 cassette compatible HG hub
32 or 36 hole

Wants:
Tubeless compatible would be nice
Silver rim, spokes, hub are ideal
Front wheel preferred as a dynamo, SP or Shimano or Son

Also looking for some sorta supple 650b tires to fit this friend’s wife’s Clem 
L (just bought from a list member). Rene Hearse 42mm-55mm or similar.

Re: [RBW] Introducing the Charlie H Gallop Protovelo

2022-11-16 Thread Abe Gardner 
Yes, changed stems:Soma Portola with 6cm extension TechnomicNitto Labarross with 10cm extension TechnomicBoth were raised pretty high but the Albatross is nearly the the minimum insertion line (1cm shy) while the Portola was about 4cm shy of min insertion line. I’m a heavy guy with long torso and short legs, brooks B17 saddle almost as far back as it will go on a S83 setback seatpost. The Albatross bar setup is the same stem/bar setup I used on my Cheviot. With the inner bar ends I get tons of added forward reach to pull on or lean into, if I didn’t have those I’d probably want at least 11cm of stem extension though. Any less than 10cm extension and I’d worry about knee strikes on the ends of the albatross bars when they’re this low. And I wouldn’t use bar end shifters with the current setup for the Sam reason. My next move is to try swapping the Nexus rd for an XT rapid rise rd with a 13t lower pulley wheel (replacing the 11t original). The Nexus doesn’t take kindly to heavy pedaling pressure uphill in a low gear, it starts to skip. This is probably because I’ve got it way past the max gear size and chain wrap capacities (46/30t crankset, 11-40t cassette). If I was less heavy I suspect it wouldn’t be a problem, but I’m hoping the wider wrap/capacity of the XT rd will eliminate this issue. In the “hoods” (pulling on the inner bar ends) the Charlie is a rocket that pulls my weight off the seat to pedal harder and faster like in the drops or hoods. On the hand grips I’m in “sit up and beg” mode - very tall to see well in traffic and nice for standing up as I pedal uphills, but relaxed enough to putter around town for as long as I could want. The long arm (e.g., normal) v-brakes are just perfect and so strong I can’t imagine ever wishing for disc brakes. What a fun and versatile bike! These should sell out every time, it’s the best Riv I’ve been on (which includes: Cheviot, Sam Hillborne, Saluki, Homer, Gus, Suzie, Rosco Baby). Fast like Homer, strong and versatile like Sam, better braking than any other, swoopy goodness. AbeOn Nov 16, 2022, at 1:51 PM, maxcr  wrote:Abe, I forgot to ask, did you change the stem length going from the Soma Portola to the Albatross?MaxOn Wednesday, November 16, 2022 at 4:41:21 PM UTC-5 maxcr wrote:I also recently installed Albatross bars (not upside down) on my Charlie, but I think I need to tweak them.

Re: [RBW] Introducing the Charlie H Gallop Protovelo

2022-07-15 Thread Abe Gardner 
*Tires: *I've got a few hundred miles on my protocharlie ("He may ride
forever 'neath the streets of Boston He's the man who never returned, Poor
Charlie!") and, dare I tempt the flat tire deities, no flats so far. Riding
Schwalbe G-one Allround 700x50mm. Though I do run tubeless sealant in the
tubes. I'd love to try it with 700C x 48 Hatcher Pass tires one day, but
loads of miles/rubber left on the G-one's for now.
*Gravel*: Been into a fair bit of gravel but nothing anyone would call
single track. Not much flex, probably the same as my 56cm double top tube
Sam Hillborne. I'm closer to 250 pounds and still, not flex worries.
Certainly more flexy than my Cheviot, much less flexy than the rosco baby
bike though (with it's unusual geometry it's quite flexy, especially with a
child seat on the back).
*Pedal strikes*: I have had a few pedal scrapes as I lean into sharp, low
speed turns on pavement. Nearly identical to my Sam in this regard.
*Bars*: I'm also on the fence about swapping from Soma Portola (wide,
flared drop bars) to Albatross bars (probably would flip them upside down
to feel more like Albastash bars, just better for my wrists). I'd like to
run regular V-brakes as the short arm v-brakes (85mm) need a bit too fine
an adjustment to keep from rubbing the rims without getting a squishy feel
in the brake levers. That said, those short v-brakes are REALLY strong
(loads of mechanical advantage). Very interested to switch to DRX v-brakes
though. All I need is the time to ride and wrench plus ...
Really like to see you bars up so high - the drops are about level with the
saddle, which seems like the sweet spot to me.

Great pics!
Abe

Re: [RBW] Re: Microshift thumb shifters with Tosco / Bosco

2022-01-17 Thread Abe Gardner 
These are from Planex (uk). They’re like the Origin8 “brief” bar ends but these 
hook upward at the end, the Origin8 hooks inward (and not up). 

The PlanetX model is more of a “on the hoods” feeling and I like it 
significantly more the the Origin8 Briefs. But I’ve broken my wrists several 
times so my biomechanical whatnot may be different from others. That said, 
highly recommend the PlaneX model. Cheap (like $10) but you’ll want to add it 
to an order with several other items as the shipping is costly.

Re: [RBW] Re: WTB: 650b wheelset (for Rosco Baby build) AND tires too - want to buy by this weekend, SF Bay Area

Joe, my PBH is 84.5cm, I’m 6’0” tall. It does feel a little long but nothing I 
could adjust with a different stem and bra. Currently have 80mm technomix stem 
with 56cm steel Albatross bars ... reach is a little long with baby in the 
seat,  UT feels good without the baby seat. I’ll adjust a little or swap on 
Bosco bars for a little more sweep back. Really enjoyed this project and the 
ride is sweet (with a sweetie).

Re: [RBW] Re: WTB Sugino 30-46t double crankset w/ 175mm arms (or triple to make a double w/outer chain guard) or another brand 2x9

2019-12-01 Thread Abe Gardner 
I was just offered some compatible (but scuffed up) 110/74 crankarms that’ll 
work with these. Would you take $40 shipped (or I could pick up in Novato 
sometime in the next couple weeks)?

You have such nice stuff on the list so often, I figure it can’t hurt to ask if 
you have any of the other parts I’m still looking for:
• Rear wheel: 700c, 135mm, 9 speed compatible, similar rim width to Velocity 
Atlas (my front wheel)
• Mini v-brakes or cantilever brakes like the Tektro CR710 or CR720
• 35mm tires - used and cheap is great.
• Front derailleur that would match the 46/30 double and friction shifter 
(using a Sunrace thumbie or downtube shifters) - I have an old Suntour that may 
work but would like something that’s known to work on such a setup.

Thanks,
Abe
