[RBW] FT: Rivet Pearl for B17 Special
I've got a nearly new (under 200 miles) Rivet Pearl saddle that I'm not coming to grips with, and since I shouldn't fix what's not broken, I'd like to trade it for a B17 Special in Antique Brown or Honey. I'd take one with less than 1000 miles if you have one. The Rivet is a nice saddle, just a bit stiffer than I like. More like the Berthoud with a cutout.

Re: [RBW] Jan and Grant starting a wide tire revolution among racers now?
As somebody who sells bike stuff to the general public, I can testify that the notion that every bike or part or accessory choice comes with a set of compromises is generally not easy to accept for many cyclists (especially those who just have one bike). I'd personally take the 35 mm Marathons over the 25 mm race tire any day, because traction, flotation, and durability over widely varied terrain is more important to me than speed/efficiency on pavement. Others have different priorities. But I don't know anybody who wants a puncture-prone tire, or expensive tires that are worn to the threads after 2000 miles. Most of us find that some middle ground is suitable. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Jan and Grant starting a wide tire revolution among racers now?
I don't know how strong they need to be, but my impression is that Grant prefers tires with stronger sidewalls--presumably because they are safer? I am a fan of high performance tires for event rides. The Pari-moto tires are fantastic. I also have Grand Bois Cypres for my 700c bike. For everyday riding, I don't need high performance. More resistance and weight is fine, but more comfort is always welcomed. If I can get more sidewall cut resistance/flat resistance and high performance, then that would be great. What tires are a good compromise? Not necessarily the highest performance, but a good balance of these other traits? How much of a difference do the kevlar/aramid/other strips make in terms of flat resistance? Grant asks (something like), Why can't I run a tire with stiffer sidewalls at lower pressure and still get good performance? --In terms of performance, anytime you flex the thicker casing, there will be an energy loss (you need to take the kinetic energy of bike motion and convert it to mechanical energy to flex the casing) and therefore (it stands to reason) it should result in a speed/performance loss. However, in terms of ride comfort, I think Grant has a good point. At lower pressures, the casing will flex and absorb the shock from the road, and the ride should be just as comfortable. I would find it hard pressed to believe that a 25 mm tire will be as comfortable as a 35 or 38mm tire at lower pressures (and stiffer sidewalls). (In terms of performance there is no doubt...)

Well, I guess it is hard to guarantee anything 100% and not sure where you ride but the streets of downtown brooklyn are pretty trashy and i have ridden over many a patch of glass and debris with no issue. I think one of the keys is to keep pressure low so more roll over the crap then crush it into the tires. Good luck out there either way...maybe a tubless hetre??

Re: [RBW] Jan and Grant starting a wide tire revolution among racers now?
There are some that come close, at least. I don't know about the Compass tires -- perhaps they fit your bill -- but the Kojak is light (at least with Kevlar bead), supple, fast, and my new, warranteed 559X1.35 wire beads claim Level 4 flat protection whatever that means. Just got back from a very nice mixed terrain ride with listmember and Santa Fean Tim Whelan, both on Fargos, me with my Big Apple wheelset. The BA wheelset is a dog compared to my Riv wheelsets but I was once again pleasantly surprised at how well it rolled on the Santa Fe rollers. Sketchy in loose stuff but quite nice on pavement.

Re: [RBW] Jan and Grant starting a wide tire revolution among racers now?
3500 fixed gear rear for a 650CX23 Conti Grand Prix; only 1,500 fixed rear for a 559X22 Turbo (much more in front, of course) but for me worth it for the ride. I probably under inflate, but I realized 20 years ago that the Turbos were particularly cushy for narrow tires if properly inflated. (I did go to the Kojaks on the 559 Riv but only because I carry loads on that bike.)

Most of us find that some middle ground is suitable. Many are willing to accept 2,000 miles per tire for a high performance event tire. Most racing 23mm tires will give less than 2,000 miles service life. And there's a wide range of acceptable puncture resistance. Some, indeed many, find the level of puncture resistance provided by the Grand Bois Cypres to be entirely acceptable, while others demand far more and find the Cypres to be unacceptably puncture prone. Some of this may depend on local riding conditions: if your rides are entirely on glass and trash-strewn roads, or if you live in goathead country, a tire that gives a flat per thousand miles on clean roads may give you a flat every five miles. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Chain length rule-of-thumb?
I just put a new Sachs P 48 (? Cheap, 8 speed, NIB) on the Fargo and found that it is fully two links shorter than the 9 sp chain it replaced. It will cover the Big/Big combo (46/34 -- note that the 34 is in the #7 position) without grumbling but the cage is angled considerably forward. The next-to-biggest cog is a 28, I think, and it handles that fine. No chain suck on todays mixed dirt/pavement 26 mile ride, so perhaps the added tension is helping keep things in place? At any rate, given the above -- and the fact that I never use the 46/34 anyway; I do use the 46/28 occasionally -- any reason to think that I ought to add more links? -- Vote early, vote often, vote Rhinoceros! http://tinyurl.com/d7muj2t - Patrick Moore, Albuquerque, NM, USA For professional resumes, contact Patrick Moore, ACRW http://resumespecialties.com/index.html - -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Chain length rule-of-thumb?
Patrick: Sheldon has a chain length procedure involving running the chain over the big big combo but not thru the RD, plus a link or 2. Check it out as it's been a while since I looked. OTH, if it works, why mess with it? Sure, the RD is going to angled out pretty good in the big big but it still worked? I'd say no worries. I've used plenty of chains right out of the box that worked fine. I've done Sheldon's procedure. Honestly can't say I see any difference, and I've got a wide range cassette triple on the Atlantis. dougP On Oct 19, 2:24 pm, PATRICK MOORE bertin...@gmail.com wrote: I just put a new Sachs P 48 (?

[RBW] Re: Chain length rule-of-thumb?
Interesting question. I've been doing my own wrenching for many years and chain length (on derailer bikes) is one of those things that's always been eluded me. My experience is that there seems to be some wiggle room. I tend to error on making the chain as short as possible so that everything still works, but adding a link or 2 often still works fine too. I haven't read Sheldon's spiel on the subject. --Andy On Friday, October 19, 2012 2:24:56 PM UTC-7, Patrick Moore wrote: I just put a new Sachs P 48 (?

[RBW] Hunq on first camping trip...
I'm on my first camping trip with my Hunq. Had about a 25 mile ride into the wind to get to Bellows AFB campgrounds. It was a great ride, bike handled beautifully even with all the gear...tent, pad, bag, change of clothes, so on and so forth. http://flickr.com/photos/mgps-bob/8104171170/ Quick stop at Makapuu lookout.

[RBW] After school bike rides aka Learning Experiences that last for the rest of their lives.
One of the greatest things about being a teacher is convincing students to surpass their own limitations. Last Thursday marked the first after school bike ride for the Venturing Crew. We had three venturers that braved the hot weather to ride up to Alum Rock. Sweaty helmets and thirsty throats was our reward when getting to the gate of Alum Rock. Some of them at that point wanted to go back. With a little bit of convincing(aka lying about the extra milage) the rest of the students were willing to finish the rest of the trip. We decided to ride and descend on the dirt trail something different from our usually trip to Alum Rock. We saw deers, practiced some cyclocross and hopped over streams during our ride back. You know we rode bikes the way bikes should be ridden. I'm a firm believer that the best learning experiences don't come from teaching our students directly but by having them experience and take full responsibility for their own learning. Let kids make mistakes and get hurt I say. Have them built some character! All it takes is one positive experience to help change a students attitude for the rest of the week maybe even for the rest of their lives. Pictures prove that learning comes from experiences: http://flic.kr/s/aHsjCwhBFA -Manny Mr. Acosta -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
