The tires say HS 308 on them 700x45c 47-622 28x1.75 The little
nubblies are still on the sidewalls by the generator groove but not on
the tread that hits the road but there is a slight remnant of the tire
mold line on the center of the tread more on what was the front tire
less on the back. Reflective strip & Big 'Schwalbe Marathon' in white
on the sidewall. Actually I have a third tire with the same markings
except it has a little red 'Kevlar MB Belted' area on one sidewall and
'Schwalbe Marathon' in smaller letters. This tire has only been
mounted, never ridden and is virtually new. I'd throw it in but it
inflates to around 38mm instead of 41mm so not sure what the deal
isI'd like to find a match for it. These are a good set of tires I
just need to be able to afford some 700x35 Green Guards for my SO so I
can ride it to work over glass littered streets.

I really like that.
Any wobbling? or criticism?
I really want to try that with my steel road bike, putting a small/medium 
rando bar bag in the front.
Maybe mounting a light as well.
I've made a front light mount like that as well, just not as carved. Really

[RBW] Re: Interesting refutation of Gary Taubes' obesity ideas

2011-09-01 Thread charlie
Hi Patrick.yea I work with about thirty Vietnamese/Chinese and I
see what they eat everyday. Mostly meat or seafood/shellfish and or
eggs plus some kind of weird vegetabley soup like stuff they dribble
over a tiny ice cream scoop size ball of rice. Most rarely (if ever)
eat sugar in the form of cookies, candy, soda or cake etc. They seem
to shun most American foods including fast food.at least the ones
who arrived here more recently. They often make a big deal ( some
religious thing) of cooking a whole pig underground and rarely throw
any of it away.  At larger gatherings they eat more fresh vegetables
and fruits and the meals are more elaborate with roast duck or shark
fin soup being popular.  Sometimes they have the Pho soup with the
rice noodles but most focus on the meat and often leave the broth.
They drink quite a bit of green tea but smoke like freight trains.
During celebrations they drink large amounts of beer and shots of
cognac and never seem to get fat.when I joined them at the casino
weekly over several months, I gained 20 pounds shooting up to 282 at
my fattest. There is something to be said for genetics.

Re: [RBW] Pictures of Sammy

2011-09-01 Thread James Warren


The sizing and the amount of seatpost showing are line with the Rivendell recommendations, because this is an expanded geometry with the 6 degree upsloping top tube.
 
If the upslope were more like 1.5 or 2 degrees (Hilsen or Roadeo), that much post showing would be out of line with Rivendell recommendations.
 
My own Sam shows an amount of post similar to the bike in the photo, and it's a 60 cm.
My Atlantis shows much less, and it is a 64 cm.
 
The two bikes fit almost identically. They are my ideal sizes for each frame.

experience with goatheads has been while camping in NM & AZ.  I did not like 
them.  Vt roads are bad enough without them.

As a commuter I found that Tire Tuffy and a beefy rear wheel (Avocet Cross 
II at 38 MM were the best) worked better than any fluid sealant.  

Have you considered a trainer and Netflix?

[RBW] Ride report: Land's End road in western Colorado

2011-09-01 Thread Mojo
Wednesday was a day off, and I finally made time this summer for my favorite 
local climb. It is Land's End Road to the southeast of Grand Junction. There 
are several lovely mixed surface rides in the area, this one being the most 
dramatic. I bought the Legolas cross bike for these rides. It is some 18 
miles one way with about 4000 ft of climbing to just below 10,000 ft. In 
spite of the big elevation gain, the ride is fairly gentle. The Legolas 
has 36/50 (TA) chainrings and the 12-36 cassette that Rivendell sells 
http://www.rivbike.com/products/show/cassettes/13-086 For the most part I 
used a 36X28or32 gear for the long dirt portion. It was a lovely day.
 
  I snapped just a few photos with my phone. Go left from this link to see 
the progression to the top

[RBW] Re: So...sick...of...flats....UGH!

2011-09-01 Thread Thomas Lynn Skean
I'm growing ever more appreciative of the (apparently swept, manicured, 
delicately textured, hallowed) paths I ride.
 
Since I started riding 3 years ago, I've had 4 flats, I think. One was a 
spoke poking through the rim tape on the most shoddily assembled wheel I've 
ever seen with an obviously cut-rate rim. Two were due to mounting errors 
(mea culpa) as I learned how to (not) use tire levers. The final one was a 
Pasela's tumorous-subsequently-exploding gumwall, about 9 months ago. That 
was my last Pasela; I'd already had three that developed 
bulgy-bubble gumwalls in a few hundred miles that I caught before they 
exploded. Shame, because those Paselas were the only tire I've ever used 
that rode noticeably better than any other tire I've used. I think it was 
the relative roundness?
 
Now I use $15 Kendas which ride just like the other non-Paselas I've ever 
used and which I can mount/unmount without tools. Good-to-very-good. Not 
great. They last maybe only 2,000 miles before the gumwalls start fraying. 
But hey they cost only $15 delivered!
 
My next bike will be shod with Vittoria Randonneur Hypers, about which I've 
heard good and bad. We'll see.
 
But I haven't had a traditional, standard, run-of-the-mill, apparently 
everyday, I-ran-over-something-which-poked-a-hole-in-my-tube flat. That's 
over 10,000 miles.
 
And, yes... I now expect to have two on the way home tonight. Probably 
goatheads flown in from California.
 
Yours,

They are good for sure, just remember, if there are no trees, or only
scrub trees, you might have some problems. I got caught by this twice
here in NM.  Once I could not find any trees at all near where I
wanted to camp, the other time, everything was too flexy and close to
the ground.   You can sort of make a bivvy leanto out of them, but
that is not as comfy, especially if you did not bring a pad.

The first time I did this, I ran the wire (Schmidt coax from Peter
White) down the downtube, around the bottom bracket, and inside the
fender to the taillight.  In theory, a quick-disconnect at the bottom
bracket allowed for disassembling the bike without disturbing the
wiring; in practice, the disconnect is a source of electrical
failures.

On the bike I'm assembling now, the wire runs inside the downtube,
inside the bottom bracket shell, inside the left chainstay, and then
out and up the fender stay to the taillight.  This way, the bike can
be disassembled without messing with disconnects: the wire stays with
the frame.  The wire could go outside the tubes, of course; my frame
happens to be drilled for the internal routing.

Re: [RBW] Questions: Wiring a tail light and more.

2011-09-01 Thread Steve Hemmelgarn
Brian,
Have wired taillights 2 ways and both have worked fine.
 
I have wired a dynamo taillight by running the single wire from the dynamo 
along the down tube, secured by zip ties. Went along top of the bottom bracket 
and drilled a small hole into SKS fenders. Then taped the wire inside the 
fender. Drilled another small hole just below the mounted taillight and pulled 
wire through for connection to the light. I did not get a good ground with the 
SKS fenders so ran a short ground wire from the taillight to a fender stay 
bolt. This worked without trouble for 2 years.
 
On my new Hunqapillar I decided to run the single wire from the dyanamo across 
the top tube, down one of the seat stays and along a fender stay. The wire was 
secured by several zip ties along the way.  This bike has VO aluminum fenders 
and I did not need to make a separate ground connection. Only had this a few 
weeks so will see how I like the external routing. 
 
While the dynamo lighting set-up is expensive I have really enjoyed having good 
lights available without having to fuss with batteries.

Timely discussion as I just purchased an Expedition Asym.  I have only
set it up in my back yard but I think I will really like it.  It HAS

I highly recommend watching all the setup videos, etc as it's not

at least one authorized dealer on eBay that offers free snake skins

[RBW] Re: bike sheds

2011-09-01 Thread Michael Hechmer
I like hooks in the ceiling for singles, but I should think you could 
fashion a very nice one out of wood that would handle a variety of wheel 
sizes and even tandems.  

I thought ten's a lot of bikes, until I counted and realized we were up to 
seven, and that with both kids long gone.
