[RBW] Re: FS: Complete Betty Foy - $1900

2018-06-01 Thread Scott Blouke



I have a 58cm and a 60cm Betty Foy so I went a looked at an older set of 
tires and I am pretty sure that this is where the confusion is.
Here is another tire with similar labeling.
https://smile.amazon.com/Continental-Tour-Ride-ETRTO-42-584/dp/B0035Y3HP8?sa-no-redirect=1
I was assured I was buying a 58cm betty with 700c it didn't but I did get a 
58cm.

[RBW] Re: Anyone swap between bars regularly on the same bike?

2018-05-25 Thread Scott Blouke
I have pondered this at length and I don't think it would be too bad if you 
twist welded your cables as seen here 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUQQ9aggStw 
to make re threading them possible and installed some inline barrel 
adjusters to rapidly fine tune the shifting/brakes.
As painless as I can come up with.

[RBW] Re: Coffee Making Question

2018-05-25 Thread Scott Blouke
I begin to say be careful of this rabbit hole then remember I am on the RWB 
board...
Some days I totally agree with Reed and use a Kleen Kanteen 20oz wide w/ 
the cafe lid.  
It fits in an iris cage and the lid comes apart to clean.


Then I also have make coffee kit. That started with and changed as I 
added/upgraded/gifted things.

Imusa aluminum mug for boiling water
DIY alcohol stove/wind screen
Random plastic mug for drinking
Melita pour over
Of course there are all the little things that go alone with the kit like a 
handkerchief matches/lighter/garbage ziplock,  what ever else you think up.

I added along the way
an Aeropress and a titanium pot
generic burr hand grinder when I feel fancy

Upgraded to a GSI infinity mug, its light and somewhat insulated
Got a BRS-3000T stove because of a trip w/ alcohol stove bans and it comes 
along sometimes.

I would like the helix pour over since it goes flat.

With the Aeropress you want to make sure your cup is sturdy and the mouth 
is wide enough but not too wide for the rim.
I also agree with Birdman the Aeropress makes an easy consistently good cup 
of coffee and I am using at home probably more than on the bike.

[RBW] Re: Cheviot fat tires

2018-05-01 Thread Scott Blouke
Yeah I got it used and they were on there.  the front brake pads are dead 
center in the slot.  The clearance issue is the way all the tektro brakes 
hang down so far below the mounting bolt.  The Pauls and the Shimanos are 
much higher/lower profile depending on how you look at it.  My Ram has the 
same limiting clearance but I still have plenty of life left in the Compas 
700x35 I have on it so no rush there either.

So they are Tektro R365 brakes and you can see the rear is nice and clear.



The front gap is 3-4 mm I think a different brake will make me much more

[RBW] Re: Cheviot fat tires

2018-05-01 Thread Scott Blouke
Joe,
I have a 58 Betty Foy I currently have Schwalbe Almotions 50x584 27.5x2.0 
mounted tubeless to some A23 rims.  The rear has plenty of clearance but 
the front is close to the brake which are tektro but I don't know the 
number.  The fork has plenty of room and I just can't quite bring myself to 
buy a paul racer for the front yet.  And some br-600's I have not seen for 
a reasonable price.  Its the same clearance limiting factor with my Ram 
that I have 700x35's on. 
I will take some pictures when I get home if you are interested.  I am 
happy with them but have not put that many miles on them to give a real 
review.  They are worlds better than the older marathons in 42x650 I 
replaced.

[RBW] Re: Best front rack for Hunqapillar?

2017-08-05 Thread Scott Blouke
I would infer Garth meant this 
one. 
https://store.velo-orange.com/index.php/accessories/racks-decaleurs/vo-porteur-rack.html
 
and use these for a higher attachment point instead of just the fork crown 
mount.  http://surlybikes.com/parts/small_parts/rear_rack_upper_kit

"I'd get a porteur rack of some sort, prolly the Soma Deluxe or the VO one 
with the Surly strut kit to attach to the mid fork eyelets. Then I'd either 
use a bag inside the fence of the rack or attach some other kind of 
container, just not a flimsy wire basket since they are not made to be 
attached with the basket wires."


My experience with front racks (I tend to wind up buying things picking up 
things and generally adding stuff to capacity).  I had a Nitto M-12 on a 
Rambouillet and an Ocean Air Cycles Demi Porteur bag and overloaded it too 
often and it was wobbly.  Found a used Nitto 27F and its great. Moved the 
M-12 to the SO's Betty Foy and overloaded/didn't like the safety strap Got 
a used Nitto Big Front rack w/ basket and a Makeshifter Canvas Works 
basketcase. Easy to load/unload take with and can take panniers.
I set up a differnt Betty Foy with a M-18 marks rack with both struts going 
to one mount point and the crown attachment.  Has a wald basket and I think 
its nice looks clean I think it is much better than the M-12 but I feel 
like it should have a set of longer struts to the drop out ie. Coreys Chev. 
 https://www.rivbike.com/pages/coreys-staff-bikes But once you do that I 
would go for the Nitto 27F/Big Rack for Pannier ability.

[RBW] Re: ChocoMoose question

2017-04-23 Thread Scott Blouke
Timothy,
I have Joe's old ChocoMoose bars,  Thanks Joe they are great thanks.

I have them on a 56cm Bombadil that I got from Tony off the list.
I got all excited to pull out my digital angle finder, and find a new 
battery for it since its been a while since I used it.
My Bomba has a 70.5 head tube angle and the ChocoMoose grips have a 10 
degree down slope.
I find them to be at a great angle.

[RBW] Re: 700 x 45-50 options

2017-03-28 Thread Scott Blouke
I am still undecided on the Almotions.  The reflective stripe isn't printed 
round and in the stand they look out of round but feel nice riding around. 
 They do not feel nice like the Bicycle Rolling Resistance review lead me 
to hope for.
I think that the tested tire and the TLE version are quite different.  I 
will give them a fair shot setup tubeless. 

I was excited to build up my Cliffhangers today but my double checking on 
my spoke calculations wasn't enough and I transposed some numbers so I 
would up with a bit too long drive side spokes.  I tried lacing it twice 
thinking it was me and not the spokes...  That was a bummer to a mediocre 
day.  So correct spokes are ordered hopefully they are here over the 
weekend I would like to get the Bombadil I recently got off the list up and 
ready to ride.

[RBW] Re: Clem L (low bar) for longer rides?

2017-03-21 Thread Scott Blouke
Roberta 
If I set up a Clem L or Cheviot with some nice wheels/tires and 
albatross/bosco bars i would probably get rid of at least 2 bikes.
At speeds of 12-15 mph I don't really like drop bars as much as upright 
bars that have a forward hand position.
I have not rode a Clem L but I have ridden 2 Betty Foys and a they are 
great even while I am at the upper end on recommended rider weight.
I think the Clem L is neat because of the tire clearance and some of the 
new high volume tires are just fantastic to ride, amazingly fast and 
comfortable.
I don't think the kind of riding you are talking about are at the limits of 
any of the geared Rivendell bikes.  
I think its pretty much exactly what they are all for and more.
Scott

[RBW] Re: Rim Tape for Pacenti SL23 tubeless

2017-03-16 Thread Scott Blouke
I have had great success with black gorilla tape I use a razor blade in a 
large book and a clamp to get the right width then just roll the tape roll 
around and you have a nice edge and can get the perfect width.
I just picked up some Blue Strapping Tape 8896 for a wheel build on 
Velocity Cliffhangers I am going to do and see how it works.
I hear the Gorilla tape absorbs quite a bit of sealant and gets pretty 
heavy it does survive multiple tire changes which the Stans tape seems to 
not survive well.

There is a good MTBR.com form post "Tubeless Tape Thread" that gives a lot 
of pros and cons of each tape.

Re: [RBW] Is it possible to 'lengthen' cable housing?

2017-03-14 Thread Scott Blouke
I think a lot of people stick with bars they aren't the happiest with 
longer than they want because of the cost involved with swapping them out. 
 Housing/Cable/Grips/Tape not just the bars.
I just glued grips on a bar and I really want to slip a 8 speed thumb 
shifter on replacing a downtube shifter but i don't want to buy new 
grips...  Ughhh its always something.

You could get new cables because they probably won't be long enough and try 
blakclouds ferrule to ferrule temporary fix maybe find a spacer at home 
depot/lowes that the ferrules will just fit into and then heat shrink it in 
that spot so the junction didn't kink under load...

Re: [RBW] Is it possible to 'lengthen' cable housing?

2017-03-13 Thread Scott Blouke
This is exactly what I did when I changed to a VO Cigne stem on a bike it 
make the brake lines just too tight so I cut the old housing so the inline 
adjusters were in a good spot then added new housing from the inline 
adjuster to the housing stops worked perfectly.
I need to do this on another bike but it has full length housing runs so I 
might just add two adjusters one by the brake and one by the lever and put 
a longer piece of housing at the brake end.
