[RBW] Nekkid Sam Hillborne Photos Posted
Just about to shut things down tonight when I wandered over to the RBW site and noticed that they had added photos and deposit/order info on the Sam Hillborne. It's nekkid (not painted or powdercoated), but you get a pretty good sense of the design. http://www.rivbike.com/#product=50-700 Nicely appointed - looks like a threaded seatstay for fender mounting, kickstand plate/chainstay bridge, fender and rack bosses at the rear dropout, plus midstay bosses.

The Apples look nice, but not sure they will fit the rims. I do recall however that MA40s were re-rolled to 26 back in the day and fit with pretty big rubber. Might be worth try either way.

Marathon XR 42s? Marty Marty: That's a great tire choice. I've been using 35mm Marathon Supremes (got them for flat resistance for road touring) since last summer found them to work much better than expected on hard packed trails fire roads. Surprising grip for a road tire zero flats. No experience in really soft stuff or mud. But the XR bills itself as an expedition tire so it should be even better in a wider range of conditions. Should work great. dougP --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Aren't the mounts behind the fork for a rack, like a big Nitto front rack? That's all I can think they are for. The threaded fender mount on the back is great. I don't think my AHH has it. Yesterday I got the Nitto Albatross bars I ordered for my Surly. It's totally snowing here in Portland, which isn't entirely odd but not entirely normal either, so I'm working on the Surly. Who knows, maybe I'll get to noodle around in the snow today.

[RBW] front derailer question
Fellow Rivendellers: What FDs work best on an Atlantis, set up with a triple? I bought mine from Riv as a complete bike in 03 here's the back story: My Atlantis came with a Sugino XD crank with 24/36/46 rings a Shimano Deore FD (just plain Deore; no extra letters or numbers on it). Setting the FD with as little clearance as possible to the chainstay, there is a large gap between the outer cage plate the big ring. I've always tried to get that gap down to 1/16 on other bikes but this isn't possible on the Atlantis. It's more like 3/8. The bike shifted OK with the original rings (some pins ramps) but has always been sensitive about FD travel a bit prone to tossing the chain over the big ring. A few months back I finally replaced the original rings with a 34 44 that I had in stock. Now the chain tossing has become annoying. Just chopping off the bottom of the FD to allow it to fit closer to the rings is an obvious kluge but if there's a simple FD replacement that's a better fit I'd be interested in hearing it. What works for others? dougP --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

When I set up my Road Standard with a Campagnolo compact (50/32 double), I ended up using a standard (Chorus, I think) derailleur. The triple compatible derailleur I had used in the past with compact rings didn't want to work correctly. The standard double derailleur works flawlessly. --Eric campyonly...@me.com www.campyonly.com www.wheelsnorth.org On Dec 17, 2008, at 11:08 AM, Steve Palincsar wrote: On Wed, 2008-12-17 at 10:58 -0800, Doug Peterson wrote: Fellow Rivendellers: What FDs work best on an Atlantis, set up with a triple?

[RBW] Re: Bombadil on the Way - Getting Tired
Not sure you need advice. The XR is a great choice for what sounds like one heavy duty bike in the making. If you find yourself riding more on pavement than mixed conditions, Marathon Supreme 40s will roll a bit easier. Supremes will slide more than XRs on grass and loose stuff though. Looking forward to some pictures. BTW, great foresight scoring and holding the Zephyr. Perfect crank for the Bombadil.

I've ridden 36 hole MA40s that I got used many years ago and have never had issues with durability, so 40s should be even more Bombadilish. (Bombalicious?) I matched them with a set of Phil-Riv hubs that Rich just happened to procure with the same number of holes. The already look awesome!

The Marathon XR's would probably be great. I put a set of 622 X 32 Marathon Plus on my Quickbeam a few months ago. It's been my first experience with Schwalbe tires and so far I'm impressed. Another option would be the Continental Top Touring 622 X 47. I've run a set of them on my Atlantis for about the same application you've described and they're pretty good. Probably a bit less expensive than the Schwalbes too. Not sure they make 'em anymore though.

They work well together because the support slips into a pocket on the bottom of the bag. The bag is a useful size (8.2 liters) and can carry a jacket on the outside under its compression straps. The side pockets, which secure with shock cord, are handy for small stuff. The bag looks good in a casual sort of way ... a bit like upscale green Army surplus, if you can imagine that. The bag is in excellent functional shape, but it's not 100% original in appearance. I modified the logo tab so it will take a clip-on tail light. The bag came with an aluminum bar support across the top. It had sharp corners that caused abrasion at both ends. I replaced the bar with a dowel that has rounded ends. I had a shoemaker install leather patches over the abraded cloth. The patches should eventually match the straps on the bag, but presently they are lighter in color. I can send a photo. The support keeps the bag off the tire or fender and minimizes sway. It is in excellent condition, though its rubber post protector could stand replacing with a bit of inner tube or similar. It's adaptable (can be bent) and works well. $95 PayPal for the set shipped to CONUS, a savings of $68 (more if you include shipping). --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Setting the FD with as little clearance as possible to the chainstay, there is a large gap between the outer cage plate the big ring. I've always tried to get that gap down to 1/16 on other bikes but this isn't possible on the Atlantis. It's more like 3/8. The bike shifted OK with the original rings (some pins ramps) but has always been sensitive about FD travel a bit prone to tossing the chain over the big ring. A few months back I finally replaced the original rings with a 34 44 that I had in stock. Now the chain tossing has become annoying. Just chopping off the bottom of the FD to allow it to fit closer to the rings is an obvious kluge but if there's a simple FD replacement that's a better fit I'd be interested in hearing it.

My Burley recumbent came with ZAC19's. The seams were horribly uneven, and thumped badly under braking. And with a 20 front wheel, that's a lot of thumping! I didn't care for the cheap Deore hubs, either, the external rubber seals had way too much drag (again, the 20 wheel spins fast, so hub drag seems to matter even more than with 700's). I built up some Velocity Aeroheats (20 front, 26 rear) with Phil hubs for the 'bent, and have been much happier.

[RBW] sheldon brown's raleigh superbe on ebay
Just found this from a friend on ebay. Not sure how it is rivendell specific but it's Sheldon's bike. So it is sort of pan-bicycle-world relevant. http://xavierthoughts.blogspot.com/2008/12/sheldon-brown-bike-on-ebay.html -sv --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: 650B Rim Options
Velo-Orange now sells the Weinmann Zac 19 rims. You might want to go to the Velo-Orange website and take a look at their comments about the rims.

These rims are severly oversized and I can barely change a tire on them in my shop so there is no way she will be able to change a flat on the road. I was considering replacing these rims with some Weinmann ZAC 19 rims. I went to a very well known east coast bike shop's web sited and it said that these rims had been discontinued for quality control reasons. Does anyone know if there is a history of problems with these rims? I don't want to invest again in a set of rims and spokes only to find the rims don't work. My wife's Glorius has a set of wheels with Velocity rims so I am familiar with the good but pricey rims. If I don't get the warm and fuzzies about the ZAC 19 rims this is what we will use.

[RBW] Re: Rom/Ram tire suggestions with 35mm hammered Honjos
I have Honjo 35 mm smooth fenders on my 61 cm Romulus. Ruffy Tuffys work great with these fenders. The 30 mm 700c Grand Bois is a tight fit. Too tight from my perspective. During the summer I had the fenders off and ran Jack Brown Greens. No way those will work with the 35mm honjos and a shame as the Jack Browns have become my favorite tire. -JimD On Dec 17, 2008, at 12:52 PM, David Estes wrote: whooo-hooo!

Got my new-to-me Romulus yesterday, and I have some slick skinny (35mm) hammered Honjos sitting in my closet ready for a road bike. I viewed the archives and found some information on tires that will fit the Ram/Rom with fenders. I like Panaracer Paselas 28 32s in general, with the Tourguard, in particular. The Ruffy Tuffys are also an attractive tire at 27mm. So, is anyone running any of these three tires under 35mm fenders? The bike is a size 59cm (currently with 30mm Michelin dynamics). Right now I'm leaning toward Panaracer 28s, which might run a little smaller. I'm about 190, and have fatter tires on other bikes, so I'm not necessarily looking for a trail tire - this will be a road bike, and will take cross tires when the fenders are off down the line. -- Cheers, David Redlands, CA --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
