Also, from my experience, it's not possible to totally re-proof the 
carradice capes. Even if you could, it's a big pain to proof them.

Re: [RBW] Re: PONCHOS!!!

[Tim O. (Portland, OR)]

I'd suggest you try to find a used Grundens poncho that riv used to sell. 
They're way bigger than other models, super durable, don't have an 
unnecessary hood. I've tried other brands, but the riv version can't be 
beat. 

It's really to bad they aren't available anymore. James from Riv said he'd 
see if there are any extras hidden away, but I haven't heard back. I assume 
not. I do worry that I'll never be able to replace mine if something 
happens to it though!

[RBW] Re: Mini Moto Max Tire

[Tim O. (Portland, OR)]

I couldn't fit a 48 with mini motos on the crust canti-bolt. I'd guess 
45ish is the max depending on your bike.

[RBW] 1x Long Chain Stay Need 2 chains?

[Tim O. (Portland, OR)]

Hey!

Considering a 1x set up on my Appaloosa prototype. I’m wondering if I’ll 
still need to combine two chains when using a 1x with those long 
chainstays. Should be a 38 chainring with 11-42 cassette. Anyone have 
experience setting up something similar?

Thanks,
Tim

[RBW] Wald Bag

[Tim O. (Portland, OR)]

They're great. I have both sizes. The medium is perfect for commuting. The 
large is great if you need to snag something extra at the store. They hold up 
to rain pretty well, especially if they aren't packed full and you can fold the 
zipper over. Not fully waterproof in sustained hard rain. Very convenient for 
everyday, around town use. Most the time I just plop in the bag without 
bungies. I haven't tried other basket bags, I don't have much to compare to, 
but I haven't felt much need for anything else.

Cheers
Tim

I've got a like-new Sackville Shopsack Clembasack in olive green. Designed for 
the taller Clem baskets, but fits well in the Wald 137 too. It's like an 
extra-medium Shopsack. I've already got a medium and a large, so I haven't used 
it. 

How does $55 shipped sound?

Cheers!
Tim

[RBW] FS: Nitto Bullmoose Handlebars Quill Stem

[Tim O. (Portland, OR)]

Got some Nitto Bullmoose bars for sale. They'd be a pain to ship, but I'd do it 
if you're willing to pay. These do show some wear, but I'm guessing some metal 
polish would solve that. Take a look at the pictures, I tried to capture the 
condition accurately.

Check on the deets on my CL post: 
https://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/bop/d/portland-nitto-bullmoose-handlebars/7078072363.html

[RBW] Re: Ride length on Jitensha/Map type bars? Updated my Redwood.

[Tim O. (Portland, OR)]

I've done centuries and multi-day tours with the black sheep bars I had that 
were a similar shape (30° sweep). They were 800mm wide though so I had three 
solid hand positions.

[Tim O. (Portland, OR)]

Thanks! Moving the thing shifters down by the curves is still really convenient 
shifting and it means I can use all three hand positions (grips, top of the

something.

It only lasted a few months before my bike fell over and the mirror broke. I do

Thanks for sharing!

[RBW] Antelope Hills/Black Mountain Monster Cross

[Tim O. (Portland, OR)]

Howdy-

Got the Compass Antelope Hills today and tried them on the Black Mountain 
Cycles Monstercross. Here are set clearance pictures:
https://photos.app.goo.gl/F6d8HBxYMU3lRfNw1

I'm the pictures they are mounted on velocity dyads(18.6mm interal width) with 
tubes at 55 psi. I don't have calipers, but I'd guess they're around 51-52ish 
right now.

Not much room, so I'll probably end up using these ony Riv proto-Appaloosa.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Re: [RBW] Compass Antelope Pass 700 x 55: the fat tire arms race continues

I already ordered a set! Going to try these on my black mountain Monster cross 
since I'm guessing they'll run small on my dyads. If they're too big, I'll use 
them on my proto-Appaloosa. I've got the Schwalbe g ones on their now, so it'll 
be interesting to compare.

[RBW] Hammock camping?

[Tim O. (Portland, OR)]

Morning, Brett! 

I'm testing a set up right now. I'd suggest either finding a way to have 
insulation beneath the hammock or using an sleeping pad inside the hammock. If 
you don't do that, all the insulation from your bag will be squished and you'll 
have a cold butt. No fun. If you can, give it a try in your backyard for a 
night first.

I can say that the Appaloosa long chainstays fell incredibly smooth for rough

Atlantis in those same conditions. Issac (nwbirdman) has an Atlantis here in 
PDX that's my exact size, so maybe we can do some thorough testing and report 
back.

[RBW] Billie Bar Width - New Albatross

[Tim O. (Portland, OR)]

News flash: The new Billie bars will be 58cm wide! I emailed Riv to ask and 
made sure it was okay to share with y'all.

If you haven't heard of them yet, they are a longer sweep, less rise and wider 
albatross. I kind of think this is a picture of them that they quietly snuck on 
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bf5JwDeAFkR/ anyone know for sure?

I'm stoked and I know there are others who've been wanting a wide albatross 
bar. I wonder how much different that extra 3cm does. Guess I'll have to buy 
some to find out!

Tim

[RBW] MKS RMX Service/Rebuild

[Tim O. (Portland, OR)]

Hey howdy-

My MKS RMX (sneaker) pedals have developed a clicking sound on one side. 
They still spin well, but it makes me worry how long they'll last. Plus, 
the sound is annoying. Anyone had luck servicing the sneaker pedal? 

Thanks,
Tim O.
Portland, O

ps. I did test my bike with different pedals to make sure the sound wasn't 
coming from the bottom bracket.

[RBW] Up Your Vis Game

[Tim O. (Portland, OR)]

Good thinking! Nighttime visibility is extra important in rainy Portland 
because everyone's windshield is fogged up.

I got a $12 light (USB rechargable!) for my hub that allows people to see me 
from the side. I commute on lots of side streets and this really helps. This is 
my first season trying it, so we'll see how long it lasts. So far so good 
though.

Here's a picture: https://www.instagram.com/p/BbabBDbhot2/

[RBW] FS Aussie Merino Wool Longsleeve Crewneck - Black

[Tim O. (Portland, OR)]

Hi,


I recently got a XL Aussie Wool(Thermofleece) LS Crewneck in Black and it's a 
tighter fit than I was hoping for. It would be a great base layer for  a me, 
but I'm not comfortable wearing it to work with my dad bod. I've already worn 
it a few times and it's been through the wash once, but it's basically brand 
new.

Here are more details on the Riv site: 
https://www.rivbike.com/collections/clothing/products/aussie-wool-ls-crewneck-black

$67 shipped.

Cheers,

[RBW] Re: Hunq with rack and v brakes?

[Tim O. (Portland, OR)]

I have a Hunqapillar fork with Schwalbe G-One 2.35s (~2.1 on synergy rims), 
Avid Single Digit v-brakes, SKS B-65 fenders and a Surly Front Rack. Works 
just fine. I'll probably get a little smaller tire for the next round with 
fenders because it's tight, but the v-brakes aren't the issue.

[RBW] Re: Lost & found anything while riding?

[Tim O. (Portland, OR)]

Lost: 

   - Hats. A bunch of hats that I used to tuck into my back pocket before I 
   got a front rack. So many good hats lost forever. Can't believe it took me 
   so long to learn my lesson.
   - My favorite merino wool long sleeve. Discovered it was gone within 10 
   minutes, but by the time I got back it was gone. 
   - Wallet -- Someone was nice enough to drop it back in my mailbox after 
   a few days. Phew!

Found:

   - Pocket knife with a 4" or 5" blade. It was open and sitting in the 
   middle of the bike lane. I used it all the time until I accidentally left 
   it in my carry on at the airport. Where does all that stuff end up anyway?
   - $20 bill
   - Jannd seat dangle bag with patch kit goodies
   - Aviator sunglasses in surprisingly good shape

[RBW] FS Silver Power Ratchet Shifters and Bar-end Pods

[Tim O. (Portland, OR)]

Hello again, 

I have a set of Silver/IRD thumbies with some cosmetic character for sale. 
The bolts on the bottom are oxidized on the outside and one of the black 
tabs has been replaced with Newbaums. They are mechanically perfect. 
Originally, they come with two sets of washers--one with a stopper tab and 
one without. These just have one of each style of washer, which should 
still give you all the range you need. I really liked the feel and look of 
these shifters, but I going to give try indexed shifting.

See the pictures for more details: 
https://photos.app.goo.gl/PEfKnI4Hp6BD3wCh1 

$45 shipped for the thumb shifters. 

I also have a set of Silver bar-end pods that I could throw in for an 
additional $20. All the original bits are still there. They have a touch of 
shellac on the edges, but otherwise they're basically new. Separately, I'd 
sell them for $25 shipped. 

$65 shipped for shifters and bar-end pods.

Sorry for the repeat post, but I thought this might be a more effective 
route. 

Thanks!

If yours are in better shape, I could throw in a few bucks to even things out.


I also have a set of Silver bar-end pods that I could throw in for an 
additional $20. They have a touch of shellac on the edges, but otherwise 
they're basically new. Separately, I'd sell them for $25 shipped.

If you just want ​to buy my Silver thumbies, feel free to make an offer. :)

[RBW] Microsoft Thumbies Inside Mount

[Tim O. (Portland, OR)]

Hey! 

Do Mircoshift thumbies allow you to adjust the cable housing angle like the 
Sunrace thumbies do? Has anyone mounted their Mircoshift thumbies on the inside 
of the bars? Do the cables clear your hands on the bars?

I'm running Sunrace shifters mounted inside, but I'm thinking I'd like to have 
some quality indexed shifting. 

Thanks!

[RBW] Rivs with the Jones Loop/Bend H-Bar (Map/Ahearne too)

[Tim O. (Portland, OR)]

Hey, Y'all-

I got ants in my pants for some new handlebars. I've been riding the Albatross 
bars since last spring and I love the upright riding position. Plus, they're 
gorgeous/comfy. Although, ever since I've got them I wished they were wider. 
Probably didn't help that I was riding the Bullmoose bars before them or that I 
have wide shoulders. The Albatross performed well some long rides and varied 
terrain,but I wish I could get out of the saddle more comfortably. 

Anyway, now that VO has their quill stem with 31.8 clamp, I'm considering the 
Jones H-bar. I'm thinking of the loop or the bend in 710mm. My biggest 
hesitation is that I think they look kind of funny! I hate to write that out 
loud, but it's true. The shape and the 31.8 clamp seem like they could clash on 
a Riv set up. I thought the Map/Ahearne bars would be a good solution, but they 
hand position wouldn't really be wider that the Albatross. 

Anyone have the Jones loop or bend on their Riv that would be willing to 
sharing photos/experiences? Convince me to stop putting fashion over function? 
Or maybe you're Jones h-bar/Riv set up is gorgeous AND functional?

Anyone want to convince me the Map/Ahearne bar is the way to go? Would the 
angle of the hand position be enough to solve the issue even though they aren't 
much wider?

Thanks! 
Tim
Portland, OR

[RBW] German Mirror Basket Mount

[Tim O. (Portland, OR)]

I saw someone who mounted their German Mirror on a Wald basket instead of the 
bars. Can't find the picture now. Anyone tried it before? Does it work? I had 
another mirror mounted to my basket that work well, but it stuck out and then 
my bike fell over and it broke. I'd love to keep all the space possible on my 
handlebars.

[RBW] Soma Shikoro 700 x 48

[Tim O. (Portland, OR)]

Hey, Jay

I'm so glad you posted this! I've been thinking about those tires for my 
Proto-Joe and almost started a thread the other day to learn more about them. 
These seem like a great balance of ride quality/protection. You'll have to 
report back on their durability after you've put some miles on them. 

I like that dark tan sidewall, but I know it will start looking gnarly quick in 
the winter riding here in Portland. 

Also, I'm glad to see someone else putting stickers on their Riv! 

Thanks!

Great route. Lots of little towns, which makes it easy to travel light. Plus, 
you'll be riding all the best parts of it. If you end up riding through 
Nehalem, stop at Buttercup for THE BEST chowder on the Oregon coast. Each 
serving is made fresh with super unique flavors. Gluten free and vegan options 
too! Also, they have great ice cream.

Re: [RBW] Re: Show me your touring/camping setup!

[Tim O. (Portland, OR)]

Hey, Andrew-

Nice looking Bombadil! 

I have the Raceguard G-ones that are sold on the riv site. I really like them 
on dry roads and gravel. Haven't really ridden anything else on them, but I 
hear they don't do well in wet conditions. They feel really fast and comfy. 
They eat up a ton of road vibration so it feels like you're flying on rocket 
clouds...or something like that. They aren't very durable though. I've ridden 
them about 800 miles so far and the rear tire has already lost lots of tread. I 
suppose that's always the trade off for lightweight/fast tires. 

Cheers,
Tim

[RBW] PDX To Eclipse Ride - Anyone Going?

[Tim O. (Portland, OR)]

Hey!

Anyone planning on riding from Portland to the path of totality for the solar 
eclipse on Monday? I'm​ going to! Even though Portland is 99% in the path, I 
can't help myself getting caught up in the fervor to be in the path of 
totality. I had some other plans fall through and I can't take a bunch of time 
off, so I'm going to ride from Portland at 5am-ish to catch the eclipse in it's 
full effect. I'm thinking I'll ride to Silverton, which is about 50 miles one 
way. Predictions about traffic, huge bathroom lines and limited emergency 
services have been horrible so it may be an eclipse-pocolypse, but it will 
definitely be an adventure at the very least.

Let me if youre interested in coordinating! Or maybe you have a wayyy better 
plan that I can tag along with :)

Also, there's a cool website to help Oregonians plan a bike trip to the path of 
totality. Check it out: www.biketotheeclipse.com 

I'll post a picture of my eclipse century set up.

[RBW] Cable/Housing Cutter Suggestions

[Tim O. (Portland, OR)]

I've been using a cheapo tool to cut cables and housing forever, but it's 
always a clunky process that results in frayed cables and/or frustration. I 
hate cutting housing so much that I just left my housing way too long when I 
recently changed my shifters.

Just did a quick search to see what's out there and it looks like $20-40 bucks 
for something specific to bikes for cutting cable/housing. Does anyone have 
experiences they'd like to share? Do I want a bike specific cable cutter or can 
I get a generic hardware store version? Is it worth it to spend the extra few 
$$ on this tool or do they all work the same? 

If Riv sold one, I'd just buy that version.

Thanks!
Tim
Portland, OR

[RBW] Re: Hunqapillar or Appaloosa?

[Tim O. (Portland, OR)]

Michelle! What an exciting dilemma you're in! 

That's me Kurt is talking about! I didn't even occur to me that I might 
have something to add to this post until Kurt added his two cents. I bought 
his Proto-appaloosa this spring and I've been loving it. I haven't ever 
ridden a Hunqapillar, but if anyone in Portland has a 62cm I'd love to take 
it for a spin! The bike I own is basically Appaloosa geometry with a 
Hunqapillar fork and diagatube. So far, I've mostly been commuting on it 
with a few mini-tours on mixed road/gravel here in Oregon. Its VERY 
comfortable. I was able to ride some rough gravel roads and you can just 
fly on descents. It feels like you're floating through all the bumps. You 
will notice that it takes a little extra leaning for tight corners. I have 
dreams of riding more singletrack, but I know the vast majority of my 
riding will be on the road or fire roads. Overall, I'd definitely recommend 
the Appaloosa if you're looking for an all-arounder (tour, gravel, commute, 
etc.). Here's a picture of the ride Kurt was referring to that I did with 
my son: https://www.instagram.com/p/BXLg4k-BB32/?taken-by=hunqaloosa So 
fun! 

The long chain stays tend to draw attention of others, so you'll likely get 
some comments and need to explain things for people. But the bike will 
stand out for lots of other reasons too. :)

Re: [RBW] Medium Saddlesack w/out rack

[Tim O. (Portland, OR)]

I'd rode my new medium without a support and found that it would start 
rubbing when I hit bumps after a while when loaded. I have a 62cm Appaloosa 
prototype and I thought I'd have plenty of room with my saddle height and 
big frame. Guess not. 

Here's a picture of it loaded where it looks like I should be fine, but it 
ended up rubbing anyway after a while: 
https://www.instagram.com/p/BV0_t9fhmXu/?taken-by=hunqaloosa

You can use a John's Irish Strap on the lower d-rings and around the saddle 
stays to lift it up. Although, it's kind of a bummer to take the extra 
step. Not a deal breaker though. Eventually, I think I'll get some sort of 
support for mine. Maybe a Mark's rack. 

Cheers,

[RBW] Re: Shifting Mystery - Help

[Tim O. (Portland, OR)]

Solved! 

After stopping in to chat at the amazing non-profit bike shop, the Community 
Cycling Center, I was tipped off that the issue could be caused by insufficient 
cable tension. I'm sort of embarrassed that I overlooked this one. I don't 
think I mentioned in my original post that I also changed from thumbies to bar 
ends, which meant I rerouted my cables. But I guess I thought it was dialed in! 
All it took was a little barrel adjusting and things are all set. 

Phew! I'm glad it was something simple!

Thanks to everyone who chimed in!

[RBW] Re: Shifting Mystery - Help

[Tim O. (Portland, OR)]

ascpgh: It's a Microshift Mezzo long cage derailleur. There is definitely 
some play in the pulleys, so I might start by replacing those. But I almost 
think that if I'm going that route I'll just get a new rear derailleur. The 
Altus seems like a pretty low cost test.

[RBW] Re: Shifting Mystery - Help

[Tim O. (Portland, OR)]

Thanks for the tips. And for catching my mix up of high vs. low gears. I 
checked it out and it is a 9 speed chain. Wonder if I could buy a 10spd chain 
to give myself some more wiggle room in those high gears?

[RBW] Shifting Mystery - Help

[Tim O. (Portland, OR)]

I just set up a new cassette, chain and chainrings, but now I'm having some 
issues shifting in my lower gears. There is almost no leeway between my bottom 
three gears so it's difficult(almost impossible) to line things up correctly 
without the chain jumping around. For context, I'm running a 9 speed with a 
wide/low double on a Sugino XD crankset with friction shifters. The mystery is 
that things were working just fine with the old set up. Should I have gotten a 
different cassette? Should I get a longer bottom bracket? Did they give me the 
wrong chain? Any suggestions? 

Thanks!

[Tim O. (Portland, OR)]

This list has been so good to me. One last try to see if anyone has a medium 
saddlesack up for grabs. Let me know!

[RBW] WTB Medium Saddlesack - Convince Me Why I Need One

[Tim O. (Portland, OR)]

I keep trying to convince myself that I don't need a medium saddlesack, but 
I'm having a hard time (I've drafted this post and deleted it a few times 
already). Anyone have a killer deal on a medium saddlesack? If it's 
beausaged that's totally fine--better actually, since it would be cheaper. 
I have a tan shopsack already, so bonus points for being matchy matchy if 
you have tan. 

Feel free to chime in with comments about your thoughts on the saddlesack 
to help my justify buying one. I kind of shouldn't be spending money on 
bike stuff right now...

[RBW] WTB Saddlesack Medium

[Tim O. (Portland, OR)]

I've been trying to convince myself that I don't need a medium Saddlesack, 
but I haven't been successful. Anyone got one they want to pass along? I'm 
looking for a deal, so I don't mind if you have something that's beat up. I 
have a tan shopsack, so it would be nice to do the matchy-matchy thing, but 
I'm not to picky about that sort of thing.
