Re: [RBW] Re: what would make the best..
thanks guys - good suggestion. i'm using Mavic rims with 36h XT hubs front and rear, with 40mm Schwalbe Mara Supremems. a lighter 32h wheelest/tires for event rides is an extremely good idea. and then i'd have one for a road-ey bike if i wanted to go more dedicated :) best, andrew -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: Since we're talking about rides tomorrow..
It's nice you can nickname your bike Louise. I tried to call my bike "Suzie" for a while but knowing it was already a Sam Hillborne put a squash on that idea. Then I thought Sam really meant Samantha but that was way to many syllables: sa-man-tha-hill- borne. So I gave up and now I just call it "bicycle". :) On Jun 11, 6:32 pm, Bruce wrote: > I'll be taking Louise, my Rambouillet, from Prattville to ... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: what would make the best..
I would recommend some lighter, and more importantly, far more aero wheels. In this day and age, such wheels, with, for example, 24 spokes front and rear, are totally bomber if you buy from a reputable brand. I have ridden piles of miles on such wheels in the dirt, without a hitch. Cyclocross racers and lots of other heavy users rides wheels like these all the time. (For that matter, I was riding 24 spokes, front and rear, way back in 1985 and raced RAAM in 1987 with 20 spokes front and 24 spokes rear. I have never broken a spoke in any of these wheels and get out a spoke wrench maybe once a year. I weigh 172 and am six foot.) The wheels made today have really optimized the weigh / aeroness factor the max. Truly, except for maybe 100-milers on dirt, or people who weight 250+ pounds, or fully loaded touring, the case for 32 spoke wheels doesn't exist anymore. Here's a good example of what I'd suggest, and they're only $300: http://www.ritcheylogic.com/dyn_prodfamily.php?k=355378 You can see something similar on my Roadeo here: http://www.xo-1.org/2010/03/rough-riding-in-snow-mount-laguna.html You put those 24 spoke Ritchey wheels on your Sam Hillborne with some high-performance tyres and you are going to be shocked at the difference, in a very good way. Of course, I still believe in keeping wheels like these just for special occasions, events, epics, etc. I say that not because the wheels can't handle year-round use - they can - but because you'll appreciate them more if you don't use them all the time. (It's kind of like baseball batters swinging with two bats while warming up.) Train / ride / commute on heavy-duty 32 hole wheels, then use these special wheels when it's appropriate. (It bugs the crap out of me that modern road bikes are sold with full-blown "racing wheels" as the OEM wheel.) - Chris Kostman La Jolla, CA http://www.XO-1.org http://www.adventurecorps.com On Jun 13, 7:17 pm, andrew hill wrote: > hi folks, > > i loved riding my first century recently, on a Sam Hillborne, but it was a > pretty slow (though mostly comfortable) push. so the way i have it set up > it's excellent for city commuting and loaded touring / randonneuring, but > still think i want a gofast for club/training rides, built up with lighter > wheels/rubber, etc. > > the thing is - the expanded geometry of the Sam fits my build (and that of a > few other odd ducks who have recently posted) at 5'11 with an 84.5 pbh, > rounding up. > > so - of the current frames new or in circulation, what lightish, expandedish > frame should i be looking for for? should i simply try another Sam? maybe a > size down with a longer stem? :) > > just musing - but i figured y'all would have some opinions. > > thanks, > andrew -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: what would make the best..
Seems to me that the Sam would be just fine for both, unless you have a heavy rack/heavy tires on it. I wanted a fast-ish, stripped-down skinny tire bike and found an old Trek on Craiglist for $120. Lots of great deals out there for nice old steel bikes.

[RBW] Re: what would make the best..
If you like your Sam, you may be able to get the extra boost you want for cheap with an event wheel set. You do not say what you are using currently, but if it is optimal for commuting, it is a probably heavier with wider tires. Get your favorite hubsets in 32h configuration, match them to a set of Velocity Aerohead rims, and finish it off with a good lightweight tire such as the Schwalbe Durano or Marathon Racer if you ride somewhere flats are a problem or the real light Ultermos if your roads are good. Hang this set in your storage area for all but events and the occasional training ride. Going this route will save you money, allow you to ride your favorite bike on long events where comfort and familiarity are important, yet still make a real difference. Or you can buy and build up a Roadeo ;) On Jun 13, 9:17 pm, andrew hill wrote: > hi folks, > > i loved riding my first century recently, on a Sam Hillborne, but it was a > pretty slow (though mostly comfortable) push. so the way i have it set up > it's excellent for city commuting and loaded touring / randonneuring, but > still think i want a gofast for club/training rides, built up with lighter > wheels/rubber, etc. > > the thing is - the expanded geometry of the Sam fits my build (and that of a > few other odd ducks who have recently posted) at 5'11 with an 84.5 pbh, > rounding up. > > so - of the current frames new or in circulation, what lightish, expandedish > frame should i be looking for for? should i simply try another Sam? maybe a > size down with a longer stem? :) > > just musing - but i figured y'all would have some opinions. > > thanks, > andrew -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Noisy Bagman support for Carradice bag
I've used several Bagmen and have not had this problem; I did have the problem of the support slipping out on the move, which I fixed by notching the ends of the support where they met the set screws, then loctiting the set screws in place.

Re: [RBW] FS Romulus $1150
Like Dave, a Romulus was my first Riv. I like/liked it enough that when I ordered a custom Riv I asked that the custom emulate the Romulus but be able to take Jack Brown 33.3 tires with fenders. I expected the custom to be a fancier Romulus. I was amazed to find that it is even a nicer riding bike. The Romulus has moved on to pal Brian and most days he rides it instead of his Trek Madone. -JimD On Jun 13, 2010, at 3:49 AM, nawr...@comcast.net wrote: The Romulus was the bike that hooked me into the Rivendell world.

[RBW] Re: New-to-me Quickbeam
Thanks, Ryan! I've been battling the VO Model 6 saddle for a year and a half now. I've tried it out on other bikes, and now the Quickbeam. The saddle is modeled after the Brooks Swallow, so a more aggressive bar-to-saddle drop ought to help. Initially, I had it set up on a bike where the bars were level to the saddle. This "upright" position didn't work out that great, as I could never get my sit bone placement quite right. Then, the leather began to sag a bit and one end of the cantle created a noticeable bump on the saddle top. I say noticeable b/ c I was riding in to work (42 miles one-way) and by the time I got in I had a nice memento of the trip on my behind that stayed with me for a while. I guess that's the hammock aspect that you saw in the pic. I decided to re-tension the bolt and it did remove some of the sag. I'm still keeping a wary eye out for that bump to reappear. In any event, in this use, where I'm a little more crouched, I initially found that the saddle felt like a paddle, with a small flat roundish surface underneath your sit bones, and defined edges that I could feel on the back of my thighs. That annoyed me, but I thought that this might be a break-in process. I've only ridden it this way for a week, but I can see how the edges beneath my thighs may break down some and create a smoother, sloped surface--much like the nice shape that the Swallow has from the get-go. If it doesn't work out, I'll probably offer it up on the list with all caveats included and get myself a Swift. Sorry for the long answer. But I'm drinking coffee and waiting for the laundry to finish :) Best, Lee On Jun 12, 10:31 am, Ryan wrote: > Harvest Gold is a nice colour.

[RBW] Re: Noisy Bagman support for Carradice bag
Funny you mention this. While I haven't experienced any creaking I did notice I have play with my bagman where the supports enter the piece that attaches to the saddle. I did try and tighten these up but they appear to be tightened up already. I do think Dave C. offers good advice for dealing with your noise. I may disassemble mine later this week just to see if the play can be eliminated. --mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

No fireplace, for that matter-we are renters and the closest we've come to a fireplace is our current house here in Portland, OR-which has a wood burning stove in the living room that doesn't work!, but... earlier today I was getting ready to dismantle my bike, couldn't, rode it one last time, and then met my girls for caffe. My wife, Amy, then told me she had a plan, "We will pack it away, but when we get moved and someday settle down for good... the frameset gets hung on the wall, or over a fireplace." Ironic...
