[RBW] Re: The Bleriot Build...

[Jansenh]

Scott,

Used to follow your blog (but didn't post much).

Are you retiring your Bob Brown, or is the Bleriot meant to compliment
(i.e. different purpose build).

If it's blowing like that on the 10th, then we all just tuck in behind

[RBW] Re: SF/Marin Fixedgear/SS ride July 10, 2010

[Bill M.]

Since we're still a month out and my life is rarely so organized that
I know where I'll be by then, I'll figure on making more concrete
plans a little closer to the day.  Sounds like fun, though, as long as
the wind isn't blowing like it has in Stockton the last couple of days
(sustained winds between 17 and 22 MPH with gusts as high as 34 today
- I'd rather ride hills any day).

Hmm.  Reviewing the archives shows that I have never ridden it in nice

Sadly, not on the Riv - the rear wheel needs replacing; I'm not

It's true that smaller sprockets wear faster than larger ones, all else
being equal, for just the reason you cite.  However, even counting those
7-10% descents, I'd be surprised if you were in the 48x12 long enough to
create significant wear -- after all, even if you spin like crazy, how
long before you spin out and start coasting?  Not long, I'd imagine.
And obviously, you don't use that 48x12 on the flats.  So for most of
us, the 12 doesn't get a whole lot of use -- that is, unless you're
doing a lot of riding in the middle ring/smallest sprocket combination.

[RBW] Re: Time to replace the Quickbeam Chain Again; Did I make a $16 mistake?

[MichaelH]

In Vt., we do lots of hills, my commute for example has two separate
mile plus climbs and descents with 7-10% grades - in each direction.
So I get plenty of opportunity to launch myself along in a 48/12.
Smaller cogs like a 12 will hit each tooth much more often than the
larger cogs.  When I'm running the 48/12 I will be turning it over 4
time per pedal revolution whereas when I'm in a 34/24 it's only 1.4
times, and there are twice as many teeth to hit on each evolution.  At
least that's why I believe I always wear out the smaller cogs first.
I wish it weren't so.

I think of chains and cables as general wear items and like to start
each season with new brake cables and a new or at least newish chain.

Thanks folks...

Yes, it's a 59.  I am 5ft 9in when standing without my wife nearby,
5ft 10.5in when she's around [I have a tendency to give-in to the
'life-long-drummers'/5-years-on-a-bike-cyclist/years-of-being-
overweight slump' my spine enjoys, that is until my wife is nearby...
and she makes me stand up straight by jabbing me in my ribcage].

I am curious about the Hetres, and plan to try them sometime soon.

Hopefully today I'll get some additional parts installed and post more

6, 7, 8, 9, 10...it's all good for single speed/ fixed gear...IMO.
The cheapest one that matches cog/ring width.
I've found the heavy BMX chains to be slightly noisier that the rest and

[RBW] FS: 60cm Rambouillet, blue/white

[pruckelshaus]

I finally got the frame that I built for myself back from the
painter's, so it's time to sell the Ram.

It's a blue and white, 60cm, in excellent used condition.  A couple of
nicks, but it's never been crashed or dropped.  I believe it's a Toyo
frame.  Alignment is perfect.  Selling as a frame/fork/Shimano 600
headset, but here's a picture of the complete bike:

http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v344/127/70/1160592711/n1160592711_30168618_4077.jpg

The parts will be off this weekend, I want to get in one last ride or
two.

Asking $1,000 plus shipping.  US only.  I'm in SE PA (19426) if you'd
like to pick up.  If you buy it and have parts to build up as a
complete bike, I'll swap your components over for free.

Email me at pruckelsh...@gmail.com if interested.

Thanks,

Pete

Gino,
 Since you work on the riv website - do you think you could add a
feature for us?

How about a "items changed in the last N days" sub-page?

so I can see that someone added an editorial comment about some random
bike 2 days ago w/o having to look at every single page that I might
potentially find interesting.

Or maybe even a page that just lists all things which are 'new' or
'back in stock'?

Re: [RBW] Hub shiners are the new tire wipers

[PATRICK MOORE]

When I was a boy in India, it was common to see hub shiners made from
brightly colored, stiff bristles, like a bottle brush that you looped about
the hub. Personally, I can't see the advantage of a dirty shiner over a
dirty hub.

[RBW] FS: TA Cranks, SKF BB, spare chainring

[Michael S]

Hi all,
I realized I don't like narrow tread on my cranks, so my TA Pro V Vis
crankset is for sale.  Prices are shipped to CONUS, offers are
welcomed.

175 mm 48x32 TA Pro V Vis crankset.  I have the pedal washers, but I'm
missing one dustcap.  The chainrings were bought new from Bicycle
Specialties, so they're "modern", but the crank was NOS so it is
probably older.  English pedal threads.  In interest of full
disclosure, there was a slight wobble of the chainring when viewed
from the top, but this might be user installation error.  They polish
up very nicely using Simichrome.  One of the decals is slightly
offset, but you might be able to fix it with a hair dryer.  $150

I also have a spare 48t chainring, with extra holes for a chainring
guard, I think.  $35

116 mm SKF bottom bracket from Jan Heine.  Goes perfectly with the TA
crankset.  Used about 1.5k miles, like new.  $75

116 mm Velo Orange bottom bracket.  I bought this but never used it,
since I went with the SKF instead.  $30


I'll make a deal if you want more than one thing.  Offers are welcome,
and please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

[RBW] Re: The Bleriot Build...

[JoelMatthews]

I guess I did not realize you were so tall (of course I have only seen
you in flickr photos on my computer screen.  That looks to be a 59,
correct?

Anyway, it is shaping up fine. Nice SON up front, King in the back,
Velocitys. You will really be able to put some miles on that bike.
Give Hetres a try some time.

[RBW] Re: Your Favorite Handlebar Bag

[Esteban]

Its difficult to find any fault with the Acorn bags - made right here
in Southern California.  I echo the comments stated here as to the
qualities of the bags.  As an alternative to the Berthouds, I'd also
look at the Loyal Designs rando bag made in Berkeley (sorry, again --
California uber alles!).  They usually have them at Box Dog, often in
a light brown in addition to the blue:

http://www.boxdogbikes.com/blog/?p=2023

I hate to mention it, because the wait list is 3 years, but Adam's
Zugster rando bags are just about perfect, especially in the
waterproof dept. and a modern take on the traditional boxy bag &
rather light:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/25671...@n02/4135825873/in/set-72157622881252990/

The Inujirushi will fill out the space made by the headtube and h'bars
better than the others, and those are very well made.  So many good
choices.  Certainly, this is a wonderful time to be a bicycler.

Re: [RBW] Re: New Brand V Bags

[BPustow]

You're right, it's never going to hold a load like a buckle  system. Guess 
I should have thought of that before I purchased it. I used the  "simple 
solution" when the failure occurred on two separate occasions. It was  not a 
major problem - only one side would come loose - but it's not something I  
should have to be concerned about on a brevet and it's certainly going to stop  
me from attempting to put anything heavy into it. The "simple solution" 
that I  now use - and it works - is to use my older Kevin's Bag. 
   Guess I'll stick with my original strong statement.

I like that idea Mike!

The tape is soft and may not last, but it's worth a shot.

[RBW] Re: Mudflaps - inside fender or outside fender?

[Angus]

I mount my mud flaps on the inside, it curves the flap and helps it
stay in place rather than deflecting in the wind.  Some planet bike
flaps fit over the end of the fender (both inside and outside?).
