We can cancel this request, thanks... I think I may have it resolved.
After consulting Sheldon Brown (God bless this man's legacy!), he gave
me (yet another) great shifter tip. (The first shifter tip I got from
him a few years ago was to run a low-normal derailleur with bar-end
shifters so that the shifters move in the same direction (down for
downshifts, up for upshifts), which as it turns out I much prefer.

His latest tip: Suntour index shifters pull less cable than the
Shimano, so using a Suntour shifter on a Shimano 6-speed freewheel
would cause an undershift... However, the same 6-speed shifter on a
Shimano 7-speed freewheel pulls close to the right amount of cable
(according to Sheldon), and there is actually room for a 7th shift on
the 6-speed Suntour shifters, using the limiter screw to unlimit the
derailleur movement.

SO... as I install my blingy Riv bullmoose bars on my Bombadil this
week (just waiting for some final cable-swap hardware), I'll shortly
be installing (6-speed) Suntour XC LS 7000 thumb shifters to
(hopefully) work well with my 7-speed Shimano-compatible freewheel.
Fingers crossed, in Sheldon we trust.

If all else fails, these shifters have a friction option.

2010-09-20 Thread Mike

So Beth, what about setting up the LL with 35s without fenders and
just ride it on nice days when rain isn't predicted (cue laughtrack,
Beth lives in Portland, OR). I've had a similar issue with my
Rambouillet. Right now it is grudgingly sporting 32s and  waiting for
fenders. For the most part I've found 32s to work pretty well for me
but there is something about 35s that seems a little better. I don't
know maybe it's some of the stuff Grant mentioned in Tire Tips (http://
www.rivbike.com/article/components/tire_tips).

After looking at the pictures of your bikes, I say definitely set the
LL up with drops and 35s without fenders. Just give it a shot.

Rivendellers,

For two years, I've promised to scrub the beausage off my bike and
take some updated pictures.  I have finally done so, and the pictures
are here:

After washing away the crust, I rubbed everything down with Pledge
wipes (actually the Target equivalent) as recommended by Joe Bell, and
the paint glistens.

2010-09-20 Thread Beth H

Laughing. The only bike that doesn't have fenders is my race bike.

Okay, seriously, drop bars are a possible direction; but I am also
considering moustache bars (with the world's shortest stem, something
like a Nitto Tech 60) and maybe turning this into an unencumbered sort
of let's pretend I can go fast bike. I'm not sure 35's would fit
without fender, unless I can find an older set of single-pivot Dia-
Compes or similar. Those dual-pivot brakes take up a TON of vertical
room.

There is no real rush on this. I am enjoying the All-Rounder, and also
having a good time getting ready for cross season on my -- Warning,

Happy riding --Beth

[RBW] FS/FT 59 cm Homer Hilsen

2010-09-20 Thread Kentileguy

Still halfheartedly trying to sell my Hilsen. I had some fit issues
that I think I've worked out,  with a different cockpit setup  seat,
but I'm still not 100% right on it. There are a lot of things I like
about Homer; stability, comfort and that soft ride from the 33mm Jack
Browns. The reality is I think I would be happier on a smaller frame.
I'm asking $2200 for the complete bike, plus shipping. All of the
components are in excellent condition and the frame itself is in very
good condition, with a few chips here and there. I would also consider
a  trade for a 57cm Hilsen or a 58 cm Ram. Pics here

For some reason, the QB's had them and so did the Canti-Roms. I'm not sure

I think that outside of those mentioned above, other Rivendells have not had

So it was just onRom/Reds and QB's, unless I'm wrong and someone has another example, but I'm pretty sure that's it. (For some reason, I was sensitive to this matter and it caught my attention.) I remember Grant talking about it a bit at the time, ideally not wanting them, but for some reason it couldn't be avoided, and oh well, they don't ruin the bike.

My Atlantis does not have them.  I've only had 1 bike with them  it
was a small job with a file to remove them.  IMHO, all the fiddling
around with the skewer nut every time the wheel is removed leaves
plenty of room for error in getting the correct tension.  I support
tours on occassion and see many riders needing assistance with this

Quirky city bike just shows the versatility of what can be done with
a Rivendell.  And all these years we heard about country bike.  At
least the guy zeroed in on the lugs  got into the details.  Just
caught the cool pedals in the last photo.  Color doesn't really go
with the orange but maybe that's part of the quirky city thing?

Congrats on getting photo'd.

I do seem to recall that, back in the day, Riv and company offered
something they called a Paralysis Prevention Device. You had to ask
for one with your frame if you wanted it, and it wasn't mentioned a

All this variation begs the question: Why? Are they truly the result of an
industry class action suit? If so, why do some (Quickbeams) have them and
others (Sams) don't?

Curious brains want to know (no e's in that sentence).

[RBW] BBs Bombadil Build

Initial build pics on Flickr... 
http://www.flickr.com/photos/16461...@n04/sets/72157625000944598/

I have the DaVinci cable splitters installed, ready to swap out the
Noodles for the Nitto Bullmoose bars; just waiting on a set of
downtube cable adjusters (which bolt on/off with each handlebar
setup), and am also waiting on a spare set of brake noodles, which
should arrive in a day or 2; then I won't even need splitters for the
brake cables.

Once I set up the Bullmoose bars with the splitters and noodles, I
expect I will be able to swap between the 2 bar setups in 5 minutes.

I have 2 sets of Schwalbe tires; the black Big Apples and the Creme
Fat Franks.. both look and ride excellent...

This weekend I will do the final handlebar wrap (a Harlequin accent
pattern) with whipping and shellac finish.  I also have a Nitto Big
Rack for the rear, and a set of SKS fenders... Then aside from
deciding which handlebar and/or seat bag to get, I will be DONE!!!
Just add dirt roads and sunshine... Less building and more riding from
here on.

Peace,
BB

[RBW] Internal 3-speed QB question


Dear RBW Owners Bunch,
I'm looking for information on Shimano 3-speed internal hubs with the following 
idea in mind. In the following pictures:

http://www.cyclofiend.com/Images/rbw/rr36_pg27.jpg

the rear derailleur shown is not functioning as a rear derailleur. There is no 
cable attached, and the derailleur is only there to take up a lot of slack so 
that I can have vastly different chainrings up front shifted with a front 
derailleur. Right now, the bike has three rings in front, 24-36-48, so the bike 
has three gears total. (In the photo, there are two gears with a pants-guard. 
This set-up has worked fine whether as a 1-speed or 2.)
What I would like to do is get a bit of gear-shifting in the back through use 
of an internal 3-speed hub. I would like to make the bike an internal shifter 
in the rear but still retain its 3-chainring derailleur system in the front, 
for a total of 9 gears (3x3). Is there any reason that I couldn't use an 
internal 3-speed hub, like Shimano's, but while using this hub, still have it 
work with the dummy derailleur mounted as shown in the photos so that it takes 
up slack and allows me to still do wide range shifting in front?

I realize this is a bit complicated (due to rear spacing and lack of derailleur 
hanger in rear) and I'm trying to research it myself, but any pointers would be 
appreciated if it's not too much trouble. 

Thanks,
Jim W.

It looks black in the pics, but it's actually dark green... which in
dim light looks awesome (like it's black), then in direct light it
looks forest green.

Michael, I toiled over brakes, and I've been running cantis as my
preferred brakes for years...  Despite this, (and I love the look of
the Pauls) I am actually thrilled with these brakes and am sure I made
the right choice.

[RBW] Re: Internal 3-speed QB question

Jim:

I actually did something similar this past winter, except with an 8-
speed Shimano Alfine internal-geared hub and a front derailleur (to
run a 2x8 setup).  I used the Alfine chain tensioner (which costs
about $25 and the spring is super strong, ensuring good chain tension
with the front derailleur shifts.  I actually had a triple crank, but
stuck to using 2 of the 3 chainrings in the front (use of the small
crank would have produced a gear so low it could climb a tree and
would over-torque the internals of the hub (according to Shimano).
Having use of the outer chainring provided a nice range of cruising
gears.  I'm sure this 3-speed setup will work just fine, and if you've
got a derailleur to spare, great.  Otherwise consider the Alfine
tensioner... it's the best one I've used, and I've tried a few.  (And
BTW the Alfine hub is superior to any other internal geared hub I've
owned, from Sturmey-Archer to SRAM to Shimano Nexus... The Alfine is
the best.

BB

[RBW] Re: FS/FT 59 cm Homer Hilsen

2010-09-20 Thread tomm

Would you be interested in parting with just the frame, fork and
headset?

Also, you have prompted me to begin my full-hearted selling of my Sam
Hillborne.  Its a 60 cm, double top-tubed version, Waterford,  500
miles.  Wonderful construction, finish, etc. I was convinced it
wouldn't be too big for me but it is and I can't get the correct
posture / riding position on this thing I'm used to, no matter what I
try. Its my fault, I should have been more thoughtful of the whole
thing.  $800 for frame / fork / headset, plus shipping.

I'm actually in the market for a 57-59 cm Hilsen or Ram (or 59 cm
Kogswell P/R G2) so I had to respond, even though I think the 60 cm SH
would be too big for you and likely not the right frame if you're
looking for a Ram or another Hilsen.  If we get the correct
orientation of mis-fitting frame owners, maybe we can do a multi-owner
multiple-frame trade - NBA style.

I can send along photos if interested.

 Still halfheartedly trying to sell my Hilsen. I had some fit issues 
 that I think I've worked out,  with a different cockpit setup  seat, 
 but I'm still not 100% right on it. There are a lot of things I like 
 about Homer; stability, comfort and that soft ride from the 33mm Jack 
 Browns. The reality is I think I would be happier on a smaller frame.
 I'm asking $2200 for the complete bike, plus shipping. All of the 
 components are in excellent condition and the frame itself is in very 
 good condition, with a few chips here and there. I would also consider 
 a  trade for a 57cm Hilsen or a 58 cm Ram. Pics

 The seat and pedals are not included in the sale.
  Thanks, Ken

Once I set up the Bullmoose bars with the splitters and noodles, I
expect I will be able to swap between the 2 bar setups in 5 minutes.

I have 2 sets of Schwalbe tires; the black Big Apples and the Creme
Fat Franks.. both look and ride excellent...

Peace,
BB
