Re: [RBW] Re: 26” tire advice

[Kellie Stapleton]

Hi Toshi: I’m using Velocity Cliffhangers which are tubeless compatible. I 
ordered a kit (sealant, tubeless valves and tape) from Stan’s No Tubes to 
complete the tubeless process. You’ll fill the tires with sealant, and then 
again about every 6 months. If you start to get a flat the sealant will seal 
it, unless it’s a gash on you sidewall. So, theoretically you never need a 
inner tube, but You ALWAYS carry one, in case. Some people prefer Orange 
sealant but I’ve had no problems with Stan’s. I got my first flat before I went 
tubeless on the Thunder Burts, on the street, then switched and never looked 
back. There’s good videos “on how,” on the Stan’s website; also WTB and 
probably all over YouTube.

Hi John: I thought of you when I heard about your experience down the

Re: [RBW] QUESTION: Rat Trap Pass

[Kellie Stapleton]

The tire max written on the tire is 55, on the website product description says 
if it’s too bouncy the pressure is too high.

Re: [RBW] REMINDER: Coffee Outside Bay Area

[Kellie Stapleton]

I’ve been using an alcohol stove off the bike for the last few years and also 
used them camping. They work well, nothing to recycle like a canister stove, 
and one uses denatured alcohol which you can find at hardware and paint stores. 
Also cheap; a gallon will last you forever for about $12. I bought a little kit 
called the Caldera Keg and it’s in the picture announcing the last coffee 
outside. Here’s a link: 
https://www.traildesigns.com/stoves/caldera-keg-f-stove-system 
 Only downside 
for alcohol is below freezing. There’s canister stoves like this: 
https://www.rei.com/product/114890/msr-pocketrocket-2-stove 
 but more 
expensive and then you collect empty canisters. They’re efficient and boil 
water fast. I’ve also used the Whisperlite which lasted about 15; used when I 
backpack. This has a refillable bottle: 
https://www.rei.com/product/830342/msr-whisperlite-universal-backpacking-stove 

 a little more finicky than a canister, but you can use in any weather and 
boils water fast.

I like the Caldera keg kit because the keg acts as the pot and is included in 
the price. Not too expensive. Also very stable and has wind blocking inherently 
built in. Here’s a good resource: http://www.bikepacking.com/all-posts/

 What all is involved with initial setup on tubeless?  Is there a Riv-ish

 My LBS told me that I needed to have an air compressor to make the tires 
 seat, but I have a hard time imagining that to be true.  They also said 
 that if you don't ride them regularly, it's better to use tubes because the 
 tire will come off the bead, which relates to needing (again) to have an 
 air compressor to seat.

 I can't imagine random guys running tubeless all have air compressors in 
 their respective garages.  Or do they?

 Two points:
 1. Definitely use Orange Seal. I've had much better results for initial 
 setup with it than Stans; also, doesn't create boogers in your tires after 
 time (unlike Stans).

 2. HED Belgium C2+ is another wide, rim braking rim that works well. More 
 expensive than the Pacentis, but I've had great results with, both tubed 
 and tubeless.

 So how have your bikes fared in the heavy salt. I have full coverage

[RBW] Re: Homer brake improvements?

[Kellie Stapleton]

I had side pulls when I got my first Rivendell; it was built at RBW 
headquarters. I was never that thrilled with them and when I built up my 
Cheviot a couple a months ago I splurged for Paul Racers (centerpulls). 
They are incredible and I probably wouldn't use any other brake again!

On Thursday, January 15, 2015 at 10:27:02 AM UTC-8, Doug Williams wrote:

 I ordered a 58cm 650b Homer Hilsen on December 30th to take advantage of 
 the coupon. So now I am just biding my time waiting for the frame and 
 selecting components. Actually, most of the selection is done and I ordered 
 virtually all the parts…but I could always still tweak things. For one 
 thing, I haven’t yet ordered the wheelset.

 Anyway, I test rode several bikes before I settled on the 650b Homer with 
 albatross bars. Very nice! The one thing that could use a little 
 improvement on the bikes that I test rode is the Tektro R559 brakes. Don’t 
 get me wrong...nothing is really wrong with them and they were certainly 
 adequate. But I thought they were just a little slow in stopping the bike. 
 Perhaps I’m spoiled by the disk brakes on my other bike but I have no 
 desire for disk brakes on a road bike or country bike.

 I have no doubt that RBW will setup and adjust the brakes for optimal 
 performance. But I was wondering what other tweaks I could use to improve 
 the R559 performance. Careful rim selection comes to mind, and I plan to 
 discuss that with Rich. What about compressionless brake housing? Or what 
 about Kool Stop or Yokozuna Brake Pads? Would either of these make any real 
 difference or would I just be (pardon the pun) spinning my wheels?

[Kellie Stapleton]

If you want a less wide tire I've had fantastic results on the Gran Bois 
COMPASS. Hundreds of miles and no flats; gravel, dirt, street. Put them on 
shortly after I bought my Hillborne over a  year and a half ago. Now 
they're on my Cheviot!

 I know that Jan H has excellent luck with his tires, but I think my local

 real-world experiences from other riders. Does the slightly thicker tread 
 on the Babyshoe Pass really offer more flat resistance?

Re: [RBW] Re: New Cheviot

[Kellie Stapleton]

Thanks Patrick. I gave my Hillborne to my daughter; she got the Rivendell bug. 
But she deserves a great bike; she rode from Santa Cruz to New Orleans last 
Jan. I suspect she's got some more trips up her sleeve! But I love the Cheviot 
(especially this color). It feels a little zippier than the Hilborne. Maybe my 
imagination.

[RBW] Re: cork grips - shellac vs. spar varnish

[Kellie Stapleton]

so far I've left mine natural because I see the shellac flake (yuk). The 
spar varnish does look fantastic.

On Saturday, April 12, 2014 6:07:06 AM UTC-7, Ron Mc wrote:

 I come from a bamboo fly rod background, and we used flexible coatings to 
 turn fibrous materials into tough composites - spar varnish, and maybe as 
 exotic as mastic varnish on silk thread wraps or to turn an old silk braid 
 into a floating fly line.  When I made my first twine wrap on a bike, it 
 was natural for me to coat it with spar varnish.  Later wraps, found out 
 shellac is awesome for this application because twine wraps on a bike don't 
 need to be flexible - twine it, shellac it, and it's good to go and go. 
  More than 2 coats would also be a mistake.  

 While I haven't tried shellac on cork grips, its use there doesn't make 
 sense.  Take a soft grippy material and put a hard slick exoskeleton on it 
 - seems to defeat every purpose of a cork grip.  
 Three years ago, when I put cork grips on my daughter's upright bike, I 
 used spar varnish and here's the result 3 years later - it's soft and 
 grippy, and still beads water like a new Ferrari

 That's the good news - now the bad news:  you have to be patient, because 
 it takes 7 days to do this right (hey, it takes a month to mastic-varnish a 
 silk fly line).  You want 5 coats, and wait a day between each coat to let 
 it soak and cure.  You apply thin coats and of course the cork sucks it 
 right up.  Wait a day and apply another.  It won't be until the 4th coat 
 that you can see the cork is sealed and you're apply a build-up.  After the 
 last coat, give it two days to cure, and it will still feel tacky - don't 
 worry.  Take a lint-free cloth and buff it like you're shining shoes.  You 
 will be delighted with the result for years...

 I've tried several tires from Fatty Rumpkins, to Contis, to Marathons but

 Anyone with a similar experience with 650b not being the bees knees as

 It’s interesting. I’m discovering fresh swiss water decaf coffee well

 get it dark enough without stuff that messes me up). So I’m planning on 
 making coffee on trips now, and there is a vast difference between fresh

 it well. And I don’t even have the Aeropress yet. Grin.

 Greetings,
 I joined this group a while ago, but have never posted.  Anyway, I'm 
 looking for a touring machine for my financee (51-52cm) and haven't seen 
 much on ebay or the local craigslist, so thought I'd give this forum a try. 
 While it would be ideal to get an Atlantis or Sam, we're also interested in 
 a Bleriot, canti Saluki, or even some of the cantilevered touring bikes of 
 the mid 80s.

 Thanks,
 Jim

 Pictures prove that the Albatross is one gorgeous bar.

[RBW] Re: Sew own frame bags?

[Kellie Stapleton]

Hi Anne. Here's a link for a DIY bag. I'm impressed with it and he and his 
girlfriend are using them on their So. Africa tour. 
http://www.pedalingnowhere.com/gear/diy-longflap-saddlebag-minimalist-bike-touring/#.UtR97xY45IA
Besides Revelate, there's also Porcelin Rocket. He will custom sew. But he 
also has the saddle bags and handle bar bags. I've been using the handle 
bar setup for over a year, and my daughter just left with it on her tour 
down the CA coast.

 I ordered my new Krampus next week. Night blue pearl.

 f you have done that, what fabric did you use and where did you buy 
 it? I'm looking at 1050 denier coated ballistics nylon or 330 or 500 
 denier Cordura from Seattle Fabrics, or 840 denier coated ballistics 
 nylon or 500 denier Cordura from Quest Outfitters. I definitely want 
 something waterproof, but I'm not sure how to choose between weight 
 and strength. 

 Also, if you have made a frame bag, how wide did you make it? Did you 
 flare it at the front? What did you use for padding for the edges, if 
 anything? How does it attach to the bike? 

 My bike is going to be a size small. The Krampus has a sloping top 
 tube, so that means a tiny little triangle, and lots of seatpost 
 showing. That suggests room for another triangle-shaped bag above the 
 top tube, in the triangle between top tube and seatpost. Has anyone 
 tried that?

[RBW] Re: Sam Hillborne- why the switch from cantilever/center pulls?

[Kellie Stapleton]

I look at them with envy too. I was disappointed when I actually went to 
see the Hillborne in person. I guess the pictures I had looked at were all 
older models. On the other hand, I've had my Sam for a year now and haven't 
been on another bike! Though I did just change from a moustache bar to 
albatross which necessitated a change in brake levers. Don't know why but 
my brakes work incredibly better with the new ones.

I too return again, and again to *Just Ride*. I have shared parts with 
friends who fret they're not wearing the right shoes, clothes, or possess 
the right equipment. It's helped me mellow out on keeping track of miles, 
focus on the beauty of the ride instead of pace, and embrace beausage as my 
one year old HIllborne starts to show it's wear. I've changed to flat 
pedals from cleats and though I took home my Hillborne with a moustache 
bar, today I'm off to RBW to get everything to connvert to an Albatross bar 
(anyone in need of a Moustache bar?). I'm hoping I can get out of there 
without buying a Cheriot!

 Okay folks, you asked for photos when it arrived so your wish is my

 I had a couple add-ons brazed on in the form of downtube shifter bosses 
 and a seat stay-mounted chain hanger to keep the chain secure when the rear 
 wheel is removed like 80's steel bikes used to have. The lead time was 
 about 4 months even with added braze-on.

 This frame really is beautiful in person. The clichè that pictures don't 
 do justice is true here. They call it white, but it's actually an 
 off-white, almost cream color in person and it looks great with the red 
 accents!

 The build will begin Saturday and I'll try to take some pictures of the 
 progress.

Carradice sells loops for saddles without them. I used the SQR system from 
Carradice and really liked it. There's also the Bagman by Carradice others 
have mentioned. However you do need a minimum amount of seatpost showing to 
use the Bagman.

 I was considering this setup.  It is quite ugly, but seems like it would 
 be effective:

 Rivendell sells the R-14 rear rack, which seems like it would work fine 
 for the purpose, and looks pretty, but it costs more than twice as much.
 http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/r14.htm

 Any thoughts?

 I do have some regular old racks just lying around too. That might be a 
 cheaper fix.  Just have to dig through the boxes in the garage to find 
 one...

 Hi All,

 So, I'm thinking of getting a Jones bar for my Hunq. 
 http://www.jonesbikes.com/h-bar.html Currently, it's a set up with 
 Noodles--which I love--but I want something more trail oriented.  Yes, I

 What I'm really wondering about is experience folks might have with 1 to 
 1 1/8 conversions using either a stem adapter like this

  using a quill stem with an open face 31.8 clamp diameter like this:

 Pro of the stem adapter is that I can then whatever stem I want; pro of a 
 quill open face is that it's cheaper and perhaps slightly (but ever so) 
 more elegant.  

 Are folks aware of other quill open face 31.8 stems--something NOS?  Salsa 
 made an open face quill for sometime but I'm pretty it was only in

 Thanks for any advice.  I think I've got it covered, but thought I'd run

[RBW] Re: Which RBW Velosophies have worked for you? Which haven't?

[Kellie Stapleton]

Wow! After all my life in either clips or cleats, childhood excepted, I've 
got an order in for Thin Gripsters. They'll be here Thurs., install and 
begin a new era on my bike(s). Already changed to: higher bars, thicker 
tires, racks and fenders, and a Brooks. Oh, it's a Sam! 

On Tuesday, November 19, 2013 9:05:09 PM UTC-8, Michael wrote:

 Thought hearing from you all would make an interesting thread.
 I have been enjoying my Sam for a long time now.
 I call these RBW ideas because that is where I first heard about them 
 (thought I know they have been around for years, just not embraced so much 
 these days). I was an alu/composite race bike kinda rider until I started 
 to fear carbon failures and wanted to look into an all metal bike.
  
 I'll start:
  
 *RBW ideas that worked for me:*
 *1. Wider tires.* This has made a huge diff for my quality of riding. I 
 used to own a typical race bike with 700 x 25, 120psi tires.
 It was great to ride, but hard to handle as it banged and bounced and 
 tires got yanked around on gravelly, busted up shoulders. Not to mention 
 the fear of getting the narrow tires caught in longitudinal road cracks.
 Got my Rivendell bikes and have used 32mm-40mm ~55psi tires on them and 
 what a difference.
 No more bike bouncing. Slight rumbling and I am through the rough road 
 parts. Tires stay on their straight course through the bad patches and I 
 feel so much safer. Cush to boot. Very stable handling.
 I cannot see myself ever going back to anything narrower than 32mm wide 
 tires. They seem dangerous to me now.
 *2. Fenders.* I never woulda dreamed of putting these on a bike in the 
 past. But now I don't see riding without them making any sense to me. It is 
 just good to be prepared and not have to worry about grunging up the bike 
 with the street scum. They look great to boot, and are standard equipment 
 on my bikes. I love the ultra coverage of the longboards.
 *3. Leather saddles.* No more butt pain. yay! What a smooth surface to 
 sit on. I did have a little break in for a coupla weeks, but another dab o' 
 proofhide broke her in and now its great.
 *4. Steel bike/lugs/cream headtubes/metal head badges.* Such a stable 
 ride, beautiful to look at, and no worries about did I tension that bolt 
 1nM too far?. Feels good to not have to wonder about failures. The lugs 
 and paint jobs are intoxicating.
 *5. Smaller chainrings/bigger cassettes/Triples.* Healthiest pedaling I 
 have ever felt in my legs. The Sugino toothcounts work great for my neck of 
 the woods. I would never want to go back to 39-52 or 30-40-54 cranks again. 
 And, I have discovered that compact cranksets aren't for me. I love triples.
 *6. Big Saddle bags.* I love that I can carry lunch, repair 
 kits/tools and a jacket in my Carradice, etc. So convenient. No more 
 wondering how will I fit everything into my small nylon wedge.
 *7. Cotton tape/twine and shellac.* I balked at the idea as just taking 
 things too far. But when my Sam arrived with it, it just looked so 
 beautiful and natural and much better than electrical tape. Its fun to do, 
 too!
 *8. Bar end shifters.* At first I thought that it was ridiculous not to 
 have the convenience of brifters on a bike. But when I got my first Rivbike 
 with bar ends, it was love at first shift. Just makes it so much more fun 
 to play with those things than brifting. I think it also encourages your 
 hands to move around more on the bars and I think that helps keep the 
 numbness at bay. A quiet friction shift is a very satisfying sensation. And 
 trimming is fun, too.
 *9. Platform pedals/ditching the click-ins.* I started using MKS Touring 
 pedals and cannot see myself ever going back to click ins. It is so nice to 
 be able to move the foot around and to just hop off the bike and walk 
 normally and not feel weird in public duck walking. Starting up at green 
 lights, all I have to do is just stand on the pedal and go. I don't have to 
 fumble across the intersection anymore to click in. And think of all that 
 cash I save by not having to buy expensive click in shoes and cleats/pedals.
 *10. Kickstands.* Having previously viewed these as bike anchors, I 
 started realizing it just makes things sooo much easier when parking 
 the bike in the garage, hopping off the bike for breaks/taking pictures, 
 and they are just fun to install and look at. I love the rat-at-at-at-at 
 sound the Pletscher makes when it is flipped.
 *11. 650b.* At first I thought: why?... And then: Aw, man! 
 Now I am forced into getting these smaller wheels if I want a Rivendell. 
 Why is this guy messing around with these bikes like this?. But the 
 clearance allows me to enjoy the convenience of fenders and safety and cush 
 of wide tires.
 *12. Ponchos.* Air circulates. Less sweating under cover.
 *13. Wool.* In summer, any material will be drenched and sticking to my 
 skin. But come seasons of 75 degrees and less, the wool dries out so 
 quickly that

 Before concluding the problem in this case was the width of the JB, you 
 should try a 32mm tire with known low rolling resistance such as the 
 Grand Bois Cypres or the 32mm Pasela.

Great story, thanks. Now I need to get on mine for some mental purification!

Whoops! Forgot price $1700, cheaper than a new 2014l; basically getting the 
IGH for free.

[RBW] ETRTO

[Kellie Stapleton]

I have WTB Speed TCS Cross country rims; 26. The specs say rim size is 
559X19C. How do I convert this to know how small of tire, that is in width, 
will fit on this rim? Currently I have 1.75 tires but want to go smaller.

[RBW] Shifting

[Kellie Stapleton]

I have a Salsa Vaya which I'd like to make more Riv'ish as my daughter 
plans to take it on a 2 month tour and wants upright bars. Currently is has 
drops with Sram Apex derailleurs and brifters. Can I convert to thumb 
shifters with a new handlebar? Of course I'd need new brake levers too.

So the SunRace thumb shifters Rivendell sells should be compatible?

 I believe Apex derailleurs are compatible with Shimano and Microshift 
 shifters, right?  If so, the combination of Microshift thumb shifters or 
 Shimano bar ends  Paul Thumbies ought to do it.

[RBW] Re: Shifting

[Kellie Stapleton]

Well, I have a Sam Hillborne with friction, 9 speed. I do get some ghost 
shifts occasionally, but not a big deal. The major goal is getting an 
upright handlebar without having to spend a lot of money; changing 
derailleurs, cassettes etc.

I think she's looking at the North Bend or Albatross bars.

 How does your daughter feel about friction shifting? If she's happy with 
 SRAM's click-brifters, you may want to set her up with flatbar Double-Tap.

[RBW] Shell Ridge Help

[Kellie Stapleton]

Looking to stealth camp. Never been there before. I'll be entering the park 
from Casa Via which then gives me the choice of Corral Trail or Diablo 
Briones Trail. Which one to take for a good campsite? Do you have further 
trail names to direct me after that? Thanks in advance.

 Do they cause drag? Or have they overcome that with newer technology?
  
 I want something that has zero drag if such a thing exists, and more than 
 800 lumens. Am I dreaming?
