Re: [RBW] Re: Entmoot tire recs

[Dan McNamara]

I just measured the BBs on the Bombadil. Just under 47 at about 50 psi. Synergy

Would be tight if it works.

Manny!  I'm super close to picking up a Large. What's so fascinating about
a Medium or what issues do you have with the Large?

Just curious,

You can borrow my Saddlesack Medium anytime.  It's not for sale, but you 
can definitely borrow.

Re: [RBW] Re: Jamboree roll call !!!

That is kind of tempting.  The issue is my precious 10 year old daughter 
has been at Farm Camp all week, with no phones and I'm missing her 
terribly.  We pick her up early Saturday morning.  I don't want to miss the 
pickup, and I don't want to force my wife to come pick me up at 7AM at 
China Camp

Re: [RBW] How many of your bikes will take the HAR?

[Bill Lindsay]

Tying this HAR thread with the Enmoot bike thread.  

IF I was able to go to the Entmoot, I'd be tempted to bring my 
double-double, since so many of you will be on your Quickbeams.  My 
double-double has double fork tip eyelets and mid fork braze-ons, so I went 
ahead and set it up with my HAR.  Of course I need to bag-match and wait 
for the olive HAR panniers, but this is going to be a sweet stripped down 
S24O setup.  I used the trick of running a bolt from the inside of the 
eyelet and a nylock nut holding the rack onto that post from the outside




More Photos of the setup

Nice photos!  Those of us in the western part of the country are envious of

Re: [RBW] knicker recommendations?

[Dan McNamara]

Try Aerotech Designs. The urban pedal pushers are pretty good. Less baggy than 
the MUSA not as tight as swerve. And they have lots of places to stash things. 
Left hand entry takes getting used to. But doable. 

Chrome telegraph are good as well not sure if they are current production. 
Heavier weight and more $ than Aerotech  Designs. Fewer places to stash stuff.

It's all officially unofficial! Just see the blug for proof. Grin.

No roll call needed for the virtual ride -- just ride with abandon and

a post roll call.

[RBW] Re: knicker recommendations?

[Deacon Patrick]

Good luck! Baggy beats the heck out of too snug, and Riv is the only place 
I've found (short of making our own, which I haven't asked my wife to yet) 
that is baggy enough and too even a bit more than I'd like.

We added 6" of fabric to one company's knickers to make them work and they 
are fantastic. Just opened up the seam on the inside of the crotch all the 
way through to the cuff and added in one piece 6" wide. Seamless crotch and 
plenty of room for the bits and bobs.

Patrick

[RBW] Re: Ride to the Rivendell Jamboree (Ferry option)

[Anne Paulson]

Hmm. Having gone out and bought a Marin bike map, I notice that instead of
riding around the peninsula from San Rafael to China Camp, it's possible to
go through the peninsula. Climbing, of course, on dirt, I need hardly say.
So I'm thinking that maybe the Ferry option ride won't be quite as
super-easy as originally advertised. (But there will be a super-easy
option, and it's impossible to get lost on the super-easy option.)

[RBW] Homer's first proper, if not long, ride

[Bob Cook]

Mounted the Mark's Rack with upside-down EDelux yesterday. Took advantage 
this morning of beautiful weather for twenty-some miles of rolling Iowa for 
Homer's first real ride. I must admit I wore padded shorts. Brooks, my 
English butler (see what I did there?), is simply not adequately accustomed 
to my posterior yet.

The bike lives up to the hype. It is ride is smooth, responsive, easy 
uphill and into the wind. It handles superbly in gravel, even fresh 
post-flooding dumps of dusty white boulders (thanks Johnson County!). The 
Marathon Supremes (700C x 40  mm nominal; about 37 mm right now) are 
characteristically Schwalbe-ish, but at 40-45 psi are cushy enough for the 
time being. There is plenty of clearance for 40 mm tires, even with 
fenders, and more without.

I remain unsure about Noodles, though. I'm used to narrower bars with a 
rando bend (the LHT has the VO Chris's Rando Bar) and a longer ramp. Not 
that the Noodles are uncomfortable, but when I hopped on the LHT later to 
head into the office, the rando ramps felt downright luxurious in 
comparison. Time will tell. I'm interested in reading comments from those 
who might have used Noodles then switched to a rando bar, or vice versa, or 
have one of each on different bikes.

Pictures show that Iowa is not flat. And that we do indeed have cattle (and 
hogs, too, but I can't post 
odors): https://www.flickr.com/photos/125863173@N06/sets/72157645186309248/

[RBW] Re: Ram versus Roadeo; trade?

[Dave Johnston]

A couple other things to consider. 
1) When I switched from a slightly too big 58cm Ram to a slightly too small 
56cm Ram,  I noticed that the smaller frame was noticeably more responsive, 
at all speed ranges. Not a huge change though. (I actually prefered the 58 
but got used to the 56 pretty quickly)

2) For the past 10 yrs I've been running the 56cm Ram with 28mm tires and I 
recently switched to 31mm tires and those tires create more high speed 
stability, but I don't notice a low speed difference.

If you want light steel, you might consider welded as lugs add a half pound 
or so and Riv's aren't really going for light weight to begin with.

[RBW] Finally...Bridgestone transformed into a Resurrectio

I had a lot of fun "restoring" my MB-1 and even more fun writing this
tongue in cheek review of a "hopelessly outdated" lugged steel mountain
bike with friction shifting, no suspension, and 26" wheels.  I'm looking
forward to more fun rides.

Hope you enjoy!

My QuickBeam will be wearing its new Soma Sea-lions... hope the colours

[RBW] Entmoot bike decision

[BSWP]

Life always presents options, what makes it interesting is how we choose. 

For me, it's a decision over which bike to ride to the Entmooot, between 
the very logical and nicely-appointed LongLow Custom, and the much more 
spartan QuickBeam (orange!), which is where my gut is pointing. I think 
with the front rack, and a borrowed rear rack & basket, the QB will do 
nicely. 

Then, the next decision is whether to ride from the Ferry Building, over 
the bridge, or look up at the bridge from the ferry, and ride from 
Larkspur. Hmm...

What an incredible deal!

If I hadn't already bought a 61 AHH from a fellow list member a couple 
months back, I would be all over this to try my hand at 650B.  Alas, its 
not to be for me.

Someone buy it!

Ha! Aside from the obvious barefoot reference (and the Bigfoot crossing 
sign I posted not long ago).  I occasionally see bear tracks where the bear 
slipped in the mud on the heel of its paw, then landed. The resulting print 
it a huge human-like foot with claws. Pretty fun! Here's the "Barefoot 
sports a mullet" photo for any who missed it:

Careful out there. Us bigfoots make it a wild place! Grin.

Re: [RBW] WTB: Midge bars

[Dan McNamara]

On-One UK sill has 25.4 in white.

Another option would be the Origin 8 Gary II bar. Pretty similar shape. A
bit more drop. Probably worth the $30.

[RBW] Re: Blug bike....sweet Roadeo

I'm surprised about the fork braze-ons, mine does not have any braze-ons. I 
personally don't want them on my Roadeo; I don't put bags, racks, or 
anything on the bike except a really small tool roll and it would just be 
sitting there unused. That just isn't what my Roadeo is for. I can 
certainly see the allure for them though.

[RBW] Re: RBW Jamboree & Entmoot website up

[Deacon Patrick]

Thanks, Dan! Could someone smarter than me with web page stuff put up the 
virtual Entmoot ride on Saturday. Details are:

Where: Everywhere! Specifically right where you are!
When: Throughout the weekend of July 11-13, with an emphasis on Saturday 
since that's when the China Beach Entmoot is happening.
What: Ride your bike, with an emphasis on Quickbeams and SimpleOnes if you 
have them. All others are welcome.
Why: Because we can and we are.
Share your adventures on the Riv Bunch and in the Flickr group: 
https://www.flickr.com/groups/entmoot2014/

With abandon,
Patrick

Re: [RBW] How many of your bikes will take the HAR?

[BenG]

Good trick, making an eyelet-doubler. Careful with loading and angles, don't 
want it moving around.

RivHQ told me my Sam wasn't designed for substantial front loads therefore 
recommended Nitto mini+small basket not Nitto BFR+big basket. Seen a lot of big 
ones since, so might as well save $ and get the BFR.  It's a shame to hide the 
beauty of fork bends, tips, dropouts, and SON hub behind bags anyway.

Re: [RBW] 20th Anniversary/Entmoot Friday afternoon/Sat AM Plans?

I think a Manny Trap is any view with beautiful atmospheric layering of 
hills, with bicyclists nearby. So that route is one big Manny Trap.

[RBW] Re: How many of your bikes will take the HAR?

[Kelly]

This was my answer to the mid brazeons that are not on the Atlantis but 
needed for lowrider racks. 

https://www.flickr.com/photos/tksleeper/8435670094/in/set-72157626241665432

It's a door jam bracket for like 30 cents a piece.  Been on multiple tours 
and holds tight and stiff.  Great option for us and have used the same 
setup on Hilbournes as well.

[RBW] Official "Entmoot" Ride, Sunday July 13th

[Jeremy Till]

The website has officially singled me out as a ride leader for Sunday.  
Seeing as my only "real" Riv is a Quickbeam, I thought I'd make this the 
official "Entmoot" ride, built around the capabilities of the Quickbeam.  
Don't have a specific route laid yet, but I have sought the wisdom of the 
local sage known as Cyclofiend Steelenframe.  Rest assured that this will 
be a comparatively chill ride, with much more minimal climbing than Manny's 
gruelfest epic the day before, good for anyone with a singlespeed, those 
looking for a more mild ride, or those looking to recover from Manny's 
ride.  It is an Entmoot, but any creature of the forest will be welcome 
(read: open to all bikes, not just Quickbeams, singlespeeds, or even Rivs 
for that matter).  Expect a good amount of gear gawking and arguing about 
ideal gear ratios and which color of QB was best (the answer is orange, 
obviously).  There will probably be a stop for beer at somepoint, if I have 
anything to say about it.   

I have to work on Saturday so I'll be driving over to China Camp from 
Berkeley on Sunday morning.  Let's say the ride starts around 10am from the 
group's campsite?

[RBW] Ride to the Rivendell Jamboree (Ferry option)

[Manuel Acosta]

Anne,
You should sent an email to Scott, Jenny and Grant of Riv they were planning on 
taking the ferry also but dont think they have all the linguistic worked out. 
Pretty sure they would love to tag along

[RBW] 20th Anniversary/Entmoot Friday afternoon/Sat AM Plans?

[Manuel Acosta]

Dav,
 Contrary to popular belief I make for a great ride leader when I know where 
I'm going.Im pretty sure I know where I'm going for this ride.

All seriousness though. Friday for those coming early theres a s240 near RivHQ 
that day. Some Northerns were planning to get here sometime early morning or 
afternoon.

Ill be bold enough to say meet at RivHq around 12ish Friday. If you get there 
early or late no biggie.

Maybe a ramble around Grants hills or maybe just hang out and talk maybe get 
coffee. 


430ish after all closing at the shop we leave for the hills of Shell Ridge.  
This is true Riv style. No reservations needed. 15 minutes of riding

Saturday 9ish am at the Ferry building for the "hard" ride to china camp. If 
you climbed diablo before you should be fine.

Lots of breaks and picture taking.
Maybe even a secret watering hole.
Expect walking and carrying your bike over fences..

Manny

Re: [RBW] How many of your bikes will take the HAR?

[Andrew Marchant-Shapiro]

It shouldn't be all *that *hard to create a small L-shaped fitting that 
screws to the lower eyelets and provides upper eyelets *and* replacement 
lowers.  It would take about 1.5" sq inches of sheet metal, max, a saw, and 
a drill.  You could also make it out of aluminum and thread it it.  Lots of 
options.  Granted, they're all kind of hackish, but then so are band-on 
front derailers.  ;-)

Re: [RBW] How many of your bikes will take the HAR?

[Bill Lindsay]

For sure the HAR will connect to the lower eyelets.  It just won't be 
level, most likely.  Not being level won't cause any problem besides 
looking tilted.

[RBW] Re: How many of your bikes will take the HAR?

[Bill Lindsay]

Single eyelets on our Hillbornes is definitely not a mistake.  These 
details change over time, that's all.  I can't comment on why a small load 
on the front of your Hillborne handles poorly while a 30 pound human near 
the front doesn't.  I've run15-20 pounds on the Nitto Mini+platrack on 
multiple s24Os on my Hillborne and it was great for me.
