[RBW] Wtb: rear rack

[Ryan Ray]

The old aluminum rack that came with my 1989 touring bike really
failed me at the all night bike scavenger hunt here in Seattle this
weekend. I'm looking for one with good pannier supports where the bags
won't slam into your fender stays if go over some big bumps. I don't
care about cosmetic condition and HOPE to get one for around 50 bucks.

Re: [RBW] Summer plans?

[cyclotourist]

Interestingly enough, my summer plans are to head up to beautiful sunny
Portland (Minneapolis West) with the fam. Just spent a couple weeks down by
the beach ("shore" for you East Coast folks) where I did a lot of 29er

tireMTB
adventuresand
now have a week off before a work conf. in Sacramento (anyone around
to
say hi?). Then a few weeks full of keeping three kids under 10 from leaving
permanent marks on each other, leading to a aforementioned mid-July trip up
north to PDX.

Was going to be me + one kid, but looks like the entire brood plus spouse
are going to attempt it. Will be interesting to say the least. So if any of
you PDX people are available are available mid-July, would love to say hi,
drink a beer at Hopworks, ride Forest Park, probably timed around the July
22nd Parkway extravaganza.

That and hang out at the community pool!!!

Re: [RBW] Re: A very cool, riv-ish bike computer/bell

[Peter Morgano]

I think if i get 2 years out of a speedo at a cost of 60 bucks I have
gotten my money's worth, I wouldnt spend more than that on some fancy
cadence setup which I know are out there.  It is just one of those things
that wears out I find, like tires and handlebar wrap. I think that too
often we think things should last "forever" when they take alot of abuse.
Not that something should be total crap but there should be a reasonable
level of wear that I have come to accept out of some things on a bike.

[RBW] Re: A very cool, riv-ish bike computer/bell

[Michael Hechmer]

My biggest beef with bike computers over the years has been their 
durability.  I hate to think how many I have owned and discarded in less 
than two years.  This one looks nice, but does it really have the 
ruggedness that is needed?

I hope the head unit is rechargeable and has a big battery. Analog
displays are cool and all, but they're energy hogs, especially for
dials and counters. And I'm not any the electronic bell can simulate
my Japanese brass bell well enough.

Re: [RBW] Re: Summer plans?

[Michael Hechmer]

The number one plan is just to have fun, with as little planning as 
possible!  Enjoying the back roads of Vt right now and getting in shape to 
tackle a few mountain passes. We had planned to take the Bilenky Tandem to 
England for a tour of the Cotswald, but the Olympics made England sound 
crowded and an early Spring trip to Switzerland thinned out the budget. 
 We're still thinking of the car free trails in Minnesota.  Granddaughter 
due in El Cerrito on Oct 6th.  May bring a bike with me to Ca. in early Nov.

[RBW] stuff for sale!

[Brent Hughes]

Hello!

I'm getting ready to relocate and need to sell some things from my
parts box. Prices don't include shipping. I can email some pictures if
you'd like!

Here's what I have for sale:

Nitto Mark's Rack ($75, OBO): Comes with all the mounting hardware.
Only alteration is the front diving board plate was pounded flat to
better fit on my cantilevered bike. Riv sells replacement front diving
plates for $12.

Silver shifters with cables ($70, OBO): New and unused, got them for a
bike project that isn't going to happen for a while. Still in their
plastic bag (that now has some grease on it by virtue of sitting next
to my grease tube.

Carradice Nelson Longflap Saddlebag ($90, OBO): Excellent condition,
no tears or rips, replaced the leather straps that attach to the
brooks saddle. Used intermittently for commuting and camping, so the
bag has only very minor signs of wear. Asking $90 + shipping, or best
offer.

Velo Orange Stems ($20 each, OBO): 90mm +/- 17 degrees and 120mm +/- 6 degrees.

Newbaum Orange Tape (3 rolls) and Newbaum Grey Tape (2 rolls)

Re: [RBW] Mary Bar/Technomic stem incompatible?

[Joe Broach]

It seems to be accepted practice to spread closed face stems a little
to insert the bars. There is/was actually a special "stem pry" tool
made for the purpose. Jan Heine has a neat trick to accomplish the
same with bolt+nut+coin:

http://janheine.wordpress.com/2012/01/17/inserting-a-handlebar-into-a-stem/

Those Mary bars seem like a steal. I picked up an aluminum and a cr-mo
set to try. Be warned, the cr-mo finish is bead blasted and feels like
sharkskin--not exactly the "chrome finsih" advertised. Not that i'm
complaining for $20. Report back on how you like the Marys!

Best,

Re: [RBW] Re: Summer plans?

[Brian Hanson]

I'm going to try to get in an S24O or greater in when summer starts in
Seattle (July 5th for those who haven't lived here).  I would like to do
some Cascade logging road exploration on the newish Hunqapillar.  I need a
couple low-rider panniers for the front - I have a Tubus Tara rack that's
been waiting for this bike for a year or so.  I'd also like to pick up a
Fly for the back to support the rear bag a bit more than the wood fenders I
have on it.

[RBW] Mary Bar/Technomic stem incompatible?

[velomann]

I'm building up a Lugged 93 Trek 750 hybrid as an all-purpose 
garvel/pavement bike. Had a brilliant idea to use the shiny silver On-One 
Mary bar (on sale) with the used 25.4 Technomic stem I just picked up. So 
excited! Until I tried to thread the bend near the clamp. Not a tight bend, 
but the bar bulges right after the last bend. No go. Didn't try forcing it. 
and haven't tried spreading the stem at all. Thought I'd seek advice first. 
Anyone else tried this combo (or a Mary bar with a quill stem) and got it 
to work? Any tricks (I mean other than telling me I need a stem with a 
faceplate)? Other alternative might be to go with same stem and Moustache 
bar, but I really want to give the Mary a try first.

[RBW] Re: New (to me) Hillborne w/photo

[RoadieRyan]

That is a beauty, always loved the orange Sams and I am not a fan of the 
double TT so the single has that classic look.  I was fortunate enough to 
visit Rivendell while in SF on business a while ago and test rode a Sam, 
when I got back I told Grant "  Why do you tell people this thing is heavy! 
its light and sporty man";  Definitely a smile inducing ride.

[RBW] Re: Any NE Ohio Rivs?

[Rob]

I grew up in Mentor, and as a kid (in the '60's) used to ride my Raleigh 
3-speed and then later Gitane 12-speed out toward the Arboretum in Kirkland 
or to the spring on Wisner Road. We once took an epic (for 
16-year-olds) 50-mile ride from Mentor to Pymatuning Lake. Lovely area to 
ride bikes. I come back about once a year to visit my sister in 
Painesville, but sadly never with a bicycle in tow.

[RBW] Re: Summer plans?

[Jim Thill - Hiawatha Cyclery]

No specific bike adventures planned for Summer, yet. But around the first 
week of Autumn, I'm planning to lead a band of excursionists along the dirt 
forest roads of NE Wisconsin and western Upper Michigan for a week.

Good looking bike! Rides great over coarse roads too, especially when you
don't air your tires up rock hard.
