[RBW] Fitting 22.2mm clamp break levers to 23.8mm handlebars

[Wayne Naha]

One could take some sandpaper to the inside of the clamp area, widen the 
diameter.  Or is that a Really Bad Idea?  Please consider your answer, and 
not just a knee-jerk 'dear god no!'

[RBW] Re: Moving shift levers from downtube to stem

[Wayne Naha]

Thanks for all your input folks.  @KenP, I have a pair of vintage friction 
bolt of shifters, and the clamp that held them on the downtube.  But the 
clamp diameter is a lot bigger than my stem.  Maybe I can find a clamp 
meant for the stem?  I appreciate what you say about the IRD mount's 
fragility.  @Joe Bernard, I think picking up a cheap pair of levers might 
be what I end up doing

Just a random pin, as far as I can figure.  I've never had that chain 
apart.  That's how I received it

[RBW] Ghost shifting on the Clem

[Wayne Naha]

I should have posted this a while ago, when I figured this out, but that 
clearly didn't happen.  Now with lots of time on my hands, why not?  I had 
posted a coupe of times about the shifting problems the Clem was having.  
Ghost shifting, never wanting to settle down on a cog, very sensitive to 
the slightest input from the shifter, etc.  At first, I blamed myself.  The 
last time I had friction shifted was back when five cogs in the rear were 
standard.  I figured that I just wasn't doing it right.  I had tightened 
the screw on the hex bolt on the stock shifters to prevent them from 
slipping.  This reduced the problem some, but did not eliminate it.  For 
some time, I rode the Clem as a single speed, since when I would finally 
get the drive train happy, I never wanted to disturb it again.  This was, 
of course, unsatisfactory.  And even though I had been told that the rear 
derailer was not the cause of this problem, I began giving the wonky 
looking Claris RD the stink eye.  Finally, I decided to replace it.  Even 
though it could not be the cause of the problem.  I did have what I thought 
was a sexier looking Deore LX RD in my parts bin.  If I was doomed to have 
a chattering drive train, it would be with a nicer RD.  But it was in the 
process of changing out the RD that the root cause of my problem was 
revealed.  For as I am adjusting the travel of the derailer, and running 
the chain through, lo and behold I discover there is a frozen link in the 
chain!
After a few minutes of flexing the chain, the frozen link is freed, and I 
finish the install.  Now, when I go for the test ride, my Clem is 
blissfully silent!  Shifting is a breeze!  I can have any gear I want!  
Now, some of you old hands at bike maintenance are probably saying to 
yourselves, "Of course, you big dummy!  You should have checked that right 
away!"  Probably true, but I never expected this on a new chain.  I've only 
seen this on old, beat, rusty chains.  Anyway, I have since apologized to 
the Claris for wronging it in my heart, but it's still not going back on my 
Clem.  The Deore remains completely better looking.

[RBW] Re: Balance Bikes for Bouncing Babies

I took the cranks off a thrift store bike for my daughters.  This seemed to 
work very well.  My wife wanted to buy a balance bike, but that was out of the 
question financially.  I could have put it back together for my oldest girl, 
when she was ready for pedals, but we handed it on.  There was a thriving 
market of bikes for tykes in our old neighborhood, where there were lots of 
children to pass an old bike on to.  Those heavy steel bikes would not wear out 
or break.

[RBW] Re: Another Riv Financial Situation Thread

[Wayne Naha]

I will gladly buy a Rivendell gift certificate now, and spend it later, if 
that's what they need.  Rivendell is a quirky company, that has quirky 
needs and quirky customers like me.  It breaks my heart to think of 
Rivendell closing their doors for good.  I probably would not be bicycling 
today if I had not encountered Grant Petersen and his 'just ride' 
philosophy.  He validated my own ideas regarding bicycling and bicycles, 
and gave me the confidence to act on them.  I have been a long time 
customer of Riv and will remain so, because Riv and Grant project a vision 
that I support, not just regarding all things bicycles, but in a larger 
sense as well.
It is a bitter pill that most folks in our consumer society are not 
concerned with the values a company supports, but only the cost of the 
goods.  It is, perhaps, just a hard fact that most folks inclined to 'just 
ride' bikes with flat pedals and upright bars are going to do it on 
sub-$500.00 bikes.  I know my wife blanched at the cost of my Clem, and 
said that was more money than she had ever thought a (not-racing) bike 
could cost.  That's a tough attitude to overcome.  An appreciation of the 
quality and versatility of my Clem, or any well made bicycle really, is 
simply absent among the folks with whom I am acquainted.
So it's a tough sell, and Riv will hang by a thread, as they have do.  I 
will hang with them.

[RBW] Re: Thanks Grant

[Wayne Naha]

Thank you, Grant, for taking a stand on the side of humanity.  Every time 
you do make your views known, I am that much more proud of you and 
Rivendell.  It does take courage, and you set a grand example.  I am also 
gratified by the response of the listers here.  If the separation of 
children from their parents could be considered a "divisive" or 
"acrimonious" topic here, I would need to find a new bicycle forum.  I am 
glad to see that the RBW can come together on this.

[RBW] Re: Balance Bike Delight

[Wayne Naha]

We started our girls on a balance bike as well.  I took a small child's 
bike, removed the "training wheels," pedals, and the crank and chain.  They 
loved it.  They would wiz about the yard.  One possible drawback was that 
after removing the crank, the bike had no brakes, since it was only 
equipped with a coaster brake.  So when they grew into a pedal bike, they 
still tended to stop with the toes of their shoes.  It still worked out, 
and I was glad they were spared the unnecessary scrapes, bruises, and (in 
my case) a chipped tooth in learning to ride the 'traditional' way.  Also, 
they had a blast riding around on the balance bike, which was just about 
the best outdoor toy they had.

[RBW] Re: Alternative Bars for the Clem

[Wayne Naha]

Thank you for the measurements, Tom!  That will be a big help in figuring 
out a good setup.  Maybe one of those Wright 'zero stems' from AnalogCycles 
<https://www.analogcycles.com/2018/02/26/wright-stem-write-up/> would be 
useful here.  Though they are a bit pricy.  I just don't think that the 
Nitto UI-12 stem is gonna put a Jones bar high enough, and even the minimum 
60mm extension may put the bars too far forward.
After you installed the Jones loop, what changes did you notice from the 
Bosco bar?

[RBW] Re: On downsizing (and the 1 bike, and 650b)

[Wayne Naha]

Congrats on your upcoming bundle of joy!  It's the start of everything. 
 But back to bikes, I'd sell two of them right off just for the sake of 
domestic tranquility, the two vintage bikes.  Buy a nice crib and dresser 
with the proceeds.  If you don't really need to sell, but just have no 
place to put the bikes, perhaps you could improvise some outdoor storage? 
 It doesn't have to fancy, just enough to keep the weather off, and keep 
them secured.  If not, I think you are headed towards the 'one bike 
solution.'  In my experience, nothing got my dear wife as ready to blow her 
top as barking her shins (again) on some MKS Touring pedals.  Also, the 
bike as an 'objet d'art' in the living room didn't fly in my house.  Small 
house + no alternative storage = one bike, at least for me.  Now which bike 
should you pick?  Tough choice.  Clearly it's either the Hunq, or the 650b 
Atlantis, and you can't really make a bad choice here.  650b Atlantis, 
though. NIce.

[RBW] Re: Bar bag for the Riv Bullmoose bar?

[Wayne Naha]

Here is what is on my Clem.  The Bosco Bullmoose (BBM) bars do present a 
challenge regarding interference with cables.  This bag is one of David 
Banzer's offerings from Treetop Bags.  I wouldn't call it "mid-sized" 
though, more trending towards small, but it fits the space!  The Bar Tube 
looks bigger from the pictures in the description.

Yeah, it's not the best having the bare grips.  I've got ideas for some 
leather grips that should be pretty nifty, but have yet to execute that 
plan.  Still have to install fenders and racks, too.

Mark, you are so right, it is a lot of fun.  My youngest suggested that we 
go ride again this morning, and so we went for another couple of miles.  We 
saw some wild turkeys not twenty yards off in a field.  I do feel a little 
sorry for the girls when we are going uphill.  They are having to stand to 
pedal up the bigger hills, where I just comfortably shift to a lower gear. 
 Then while going downhill, if not for riding the brakes, I would pass them 
coasting while they pedal hard.  Maybe I should repack their wheel 
bearings!  Still, what's all that youthful energy for, if not to spend it 
pedaling furiously.

[RBW] A Spring Ride with my Girls

[Wayne Naha]

My lovely girls and I went for a nice ride this beautiful spring morning. 
 There were strong and steady head winds and quartering winds, but my stout 
hearted girls did not complain, for there was ice cream waiting for them at 
our destination.  


Here we are in the famous "missing bicyclist" formation.



I let the girls set the pace all the way there.  I told them they would 
'beat' me to the store, and this really added to their motivation.  (Why do 
they have to beat their old man?)


Here we are at the Rodney General Store and gas station, enjoying the 
fruits of our labor.  




In that I am still doing a low card diet, I did forgo the ice cream.  It 
was reward enough to be out with my kiddos on this brilliantly beautiful 
day.  But despite the sun, when the winds blew, it was quite cool, and we 
were under-dressed.  Could have used a windbreak, but I thought our 
activity level would be enough to keep us warm.  It didn't.  Still, ice 
cream fixes most problems.


Traffic was sparse, and thankfully, what traffic there was gave us wide 
berth and were very cautious making their way around us.  This was our 
first foray out onto the highway, and the kids tend to be a little wobbly 
in their steering.



Here we are, home and dry.




Despite having just eaten an ice cream cone, both girls were ravenous upon 
return, and made themselves large ham sandwiches which they then inhaled. 
 I was a mite peckish myself, and ate slices of ham and cheese.



It occurs to me that I have said very little about my Clem here, except to 
complain about the ghost shifting, which seems parsimonious to me.  The 
reality is that it is a wonderful bike to ride.  It goes just as fast as I 
can pedal, and really seems to disappear beneath me.  I am just sitting on 
the saddle, gliding along with the wind in what's left of my hair.  I am 
really grateful that Grant and Rivendell decide to put their energies 
toward the development of this bicycle that produces such glee when ridden.

[RBW] Re: Atlantis now redundant?

[Wayne Naha]

It's all about having the choice!  Joe Appaloosa may cover the same 
functional range of the Atlantis, but that's not the end of the story.  The 
Atlantis has a style and grace all it's own.  The Appaloosa has it's own, 
too, but different.  And that's the choice.  An embarrassment of riches, 
perhaps.  A good problem to have.

[RBW] Re: Atlantis now redundant?

[Wayne Naha]

>From the Blug, on the premier of the Joe Appaloosa:


If it’s “half Sam, half Hunqa,” howzit different than an Atlantis?

Boy, that’s a good, tough question and the only way to answer it is with 
facts, so here they are:

• Atlantis has a thicker/heavier duty fork. Even though we call the 
Atlantis a road-touring bike, too, the heavier fork make it a heavier duty 
bike. Good for an extra 60lbs or so. 


So, it's clear that the overlap between the Appaloosa and the Atlantis has 
been known all along, and the main functional distinction is that the 
Atlantis is a heavier duty bike.
I have always thought that the Sam was a sort of lower cost analog of the 
Homer.  So it made sense to me to think of the Appaloosa as a lower cost 
analog of the Atlantis.  Not exactly the same in either case, but pretty 
close, and for almost half the price.

Re: [RBW] Re: Recovering from Ankle Surgery

[Wayne Naha]

No, Steve, it doesn't have to be a freewheel at all.  The Grand Bois 120mm 
cassette you found is amazing.  I had no idea that such a thing existed. 
 It really is ideal.  I really wasn't relishing the use of a freewheel, 
mainly because they don't seem to be made anymore.  And with the Grand Bois 
I can get an extra cog tucked in back there, which is nice.  The rear 
spacing of this bike has been the sticky wicket in the whole 700C 
conversion project.  It made no sense to me to go to all the effort and 
expense of ditching the 27" wheel, only to keep the freewheel.  Thanks for 
the info!

[RBW] Re: Recovering from Ankle Surgery

[Wayne Naha]

I would like to keep this conversion as simple as possible, so changing out 
the BB is not a priority.  A five speed freewheel plus a triple chainring 
crank is plenty enough for me.  The existing brakes are CP, though I was 
thinking of replacing them with the longer reach Silver side pulls.  I 
don't think the current CP brakes have sufficient reach.  The brake levers 
are original, and leave much to be desired.  And while the current headset 
is not showing any signs of a problem, I do have an Ultegra headset not 
doing anything in my parts bin.  I may as well throw it on.

I had wanted all sparkly new hubs, along with the new rims.  But the rear 
spacing issue had slipped my mind.  The freewheel is in decent shape, and it is 
a five speed, so that means 120mm spacing?  What about 'cold setting' the rear 
triangle?  Any downside to that?

[RBW] Recovering from Ankle Surgery

[Wayne Naha]

This past Monday a very helpful and friendly orthopedic surgeon kindly 
harvested a tendon from somewhere inside my right foot and used it to 
replace a long missing ligament that used to stabilize my ankle when 
walking.  He also scraped out a good deal of osteo-arthritic buildup that 
had been limiting the range of motion of my foot.  Recovery has been a bit 
painful so far.  There can be no weight on the joint for three weeks.  So 
here I am, reclining on the couch, a little loopy from pain meds, but so 
far not watching daytime TV.  To pass the time, I'm kind of daydreaming 
about doing a 700C conversion to my 1976 Raleigh Gran Sport.  It's a nifty 
little number with double butted 531 frame, fork, and stays.  Years ago I 
installed a Moustache h'bar and Technomic Deluxe stem, also a new cartridge 
bottom bracket and a Sugino XD2 triple crank.  Now for the wheels.  I'd 
like to be able to take advantage of the huge variety of 700C tires.  And 
going to 700C will give me more clearance for a wider tire, something I 
definitely want now that I am out in the country with all the washboard 
dirt roads.  So, any suggestions on how to proceed?  I've never done one of 
these conversions.

Re: [RBW] Re: New tires, perhaps?

[Wayne Naha]

If Velocity is acknowledging a problem with the Synergy rims cracking, then 
it seems settled that this is not normal or expected wear.  Too bad Leah 
did not kn ow about this before paying for a new wheel.  Otherwise, I think 
a free replacement rim, including new spokes, and the labor for lacing it 
up to the old hub would have been the decent thing for Velocity to offer.

Re: [RBW] Re: New tires, perhaps?

[Wayne Naha]

I thought it unusual that the rim was cracking.  Not saying that the rim is 
defective, but perhaps has been overloaded with all the school supplies.  A 
heavier duty rim may be in order here.  Rims are consumable, but the cracking 
would be a concern for me.  I have decades old rims with no such cracking.

Just for something to do today, I made some soft boiled eggs as per Will's 
procedure, and they turned out great.  Just the right consistency, and they 
peeled like butter.  My girls were so excited.  They asked "Is this the 
kind of eggs where you take off the top and eat it out of a little cup?" 
 We don't have egg cups in out house anymore, so I let them use a shot

[RBW] Re: ghost shifting and the clementine

[Wayne Naha]

I will certainly try tightening down the screws on my shifters.  Since they 
gave me problems from day one, I didn't figure they were loose, but 
anything can happen, I guess.  I cut my teeth on friction shifting, but 
only five cog freewheels.  Then there was the hiatus when I was riding 
indexed shifting.  Generally, I prefer manual over automatic, so I was glad 
to get back into friction shifting with the Clem.  I figured the problem I 
was having was due to degraded technique from 'the hiatus,' and the fact 
that there were three more cogs shimmied into the rear cluster.  A recipe 
for a real fuster cluck if ever there was one.  So I'll tighten down the 
shifter bolt, and maybe try the barrel adjuster to account for the fact 
that the cables are new and stretchy.  If that doesn't work, there is at 
least one derailer in the parts bin that could get swapped in, and if that 
doesn't work, maybe those new Silver Shifters, V2 will be showing up soon.  
I don't like to blame the equipment, but since others report the same 
problem, maybe it's not all me, either.

Joe,  I did try to answer every question.  The were some I did not know the 
answer to, so I made something up.  I wrote the title of the category, and 
listed my answers in the same order as the questions (clues).  I hope that 
is sufficient for the contest.  I did not rewrite everything.  In the 
actual game of "Jeopardy!" an answer to a question is given, and players 
must guess at the question which would be answered by the clue.  Thus, all 
the 'answers' for this game must be phrased in the form of a question.  For 
instance, if the clue is "The founder of Rivendell Bicycle Works," the 
answer is: "Who is Grant Petersen?"  It takes some getting used to.

[RBW] Re: Silver 2 shifters

[Wayne Naha]

Well, I am done with downtube shifters.  I have one bike with downtube 
shifters, and that's going to change when these SS2's become available.  
Even back in the day I was never all that enamored of them, and now I just 
can't even deal.  If you love 'em, more power to ya, bro, but they are not 
for me.  To me, downtube shifting only makes sense when riding drop bars in 
the drop position.  Being that I am all upright now, that downtube is just 
outta reach.  Also, I will be swapping the SS2's for the Sunrace shifters 
currently on my Clem.  I'm not for sure they are the problem here, but I'm 
ready to try something new...
