Re: [RBW] Re: V-brake vs canti question

[Seth Vidal]

Go with the V-brakes b/c they can be less of an ass pain to setup.

The tektro 520 levers also feel pretty good in my hands. Having said that -
so do the shimano levers.

However, if you really want cantis, spring for the paul cantis - they are
just a nicer brake and less fidgety to setup than the cr720s.

Re: [RBW] Re: V-brake vs canti question

[Jan RBW]

I’m planning my new country bike with drop bars and bar end shifters and
I’m considering which brakes I should choose.

The alternatives I’m thinking at the moment are:
- Tektro CR720 cantilevers & Shimano BL-R400 levers
- Avid Single Digit 7 V-brakes & Tektro RL 520 levers

>From reading this thread I guess I should go with the V-brakes because of

I’m open to other alternatives too if you want to recommend something.

[RBW] Rivendell Canti LongLow

[IanA]

Yesterday, I took delivery of a Rivendell LongLow and it is a beautiful 
frame, there is no argument about that.  It is the canti version, but, 
unless I'm mistaken, the frame has a drilled fork crown and seat stay 
bridge for side pull brakes as well.  Following Toshi's success, I'm 
contemplating a 650b build., however, if I could build with Schwalbe Kojaks 
35mm plus fenders, I think I'd be happy to keep it as 700c, just so that I 
can access rims and tires locally when I need to.  (Currently living in 
Alberta, Canada and bike culture is not advanced here).

Does anyone have either a Ram or LongLow set up with fenders and true 35mm 
tires?  If so, could I trouble you for some measurements at the chainstays 
and the forks.  

Thanks for any info.

That's great!  I've heard a few stories in recent months of people 
recovering stolen bikes, often aided by local Bay Area PD's.  Glad to see 
that it's at least becoming possible.

[RBW] Gauging interest in an MB1

[Rambouilleting Utahn]

I have a 1987 22" Bridgestone MB1 frame that I picked up on eBay a while 
ago that I need to part with I bought it to build up as a around town bike 
but now that I have an Atlantis coming my way I won't be needing it.

The frame was freshly painted and never built up before I received it.

I had one of these for years and then once deciding that it was just too 
small for me I built it up for my wife as a Rivafied cruiser and she loves 
it.

Before I put it up on Craigslist or back on eBay I wanted to offer it her 
to anyone who wants a fine old school mountain bike. 

 I can send pictures if you are interested.

$800 for an Atlantis "ready to ride" seems quite a bargain to me. I
don't know Max but if he has a stolen Atlantis, I hope some one
forwarded this to him.

Fair for a used Atlantis frame, I mean. The seller compares his price to a

Usually suspicious Riv ads misspell "Rivendell", and don't include a phone

They are ancient footpaths of the dwarves who once used the volcanic
fires of Mt. Diablo to forge non-oversize chrome moly steel tubes.

Actually they are trails in Mt Diablo State Park, intended for hikers,
walkers, and horses that leave stinky piles of dung. That particular
trail is one of the few bits of single track that is legal for bikes.
Most of the single track is off limits to bikes. Some of the trail
work was done by the East Bay Bicycle Trails Council.

[RBW] Rest and Relaxations.

[Manuel Acosta]

Good weekend of riding.
No real long mileage but the quality of riding was amazing.
Sean took me on a short ride around "Rivendell country". Showed me the "Jay 
Turn" the legendary turn that involved a creek crossing and a good amount 
climbing over ruts and gravel all on a hairpin turn. The story goes that 
only Jay was able to ride the turn and the gravel without putting the foot 
down. We took turns but couldn't make the creek crossing ended up walking 
the rest up.The literal high point of the ride got us bunny hopping over 
every little jump that we could ride. One hop before a hairpin turn didn't 
end as fantastic as I thought. After making the jump the excess weight on 
the tip of the saddle dropped me on the top tube and sent me flying over my 
handlebars. The result was only a couple a scrapes and a sore back. The 
rest of the ride was us taking creek crossing as fast as we can. All good 
fun when your feet are drenched at the end of the ride. 

Pictures proved that amazing things happen when you cross creeks:

For what its worth. These shoppes may be worth a call:
 
There is a place in Laytonsville, MD called Just Riding Along Bikes 
that sells Soma San Marcii. They may be Riv-ish.
Bike 123.com (Mt. Airy Bike shop and College Park Bikes) sell used Rivs, 
Pashley's, and hosted a Just Ride speak with Grant this year.
I think there may be a Velo Orange place in B'more. Look for the location 
here: https://store.velo-orange.com/index.php/dealers/index/display/
 
But I am not familiar with the shops in B'more proper.

[RBW] FS: Salsa Vaya Ti 55cm frame/fork $1450 shipped

[Jim Thill - Hiawatha Cyclery]

Admittedly this is not exactly Riv-ish, but I figured I'd offer this to my 
friends here before taking it to the broader marketplace. Anyway, the 
heading says it all: Salsa Vaya titanium 55cm frame with the stock Salsa 
black CrMo fork. Condition is nearly new, very low mileage (guessing 200 
miles or less). Made in the USA by Lynskey. The Vaya Ti was recently 
discontinued, but the frame MSRP was $2000 when it was new - I'd like $1450 
shipped in CONUS, or reasonable offer.

[RBW] Re: Rear Safety lights that screw into seatstay braze ons.

[BSWP]

It's very easy to use a stainless "P" clamp (with rubber insert) to hold a 
small powerful LED flashlight at a threaded braze-on. I like the lights 
from Four Sevens, and you can get a red lens, or a red light, for 
rear-facing applications.

 SKS fenders, I think would have been easier to get to fit.   I think 
 the people that have been running Jack BRowns under fenders have been 
 either using the SKS fenders, or have modified the fenders to split at the 
 brake.

 Toshi, 

 You've inspired me...   I've got a package from RBW enroute, new set of 
 Tektro calipers (and a few other bits).  I've switched my Bombadil's tires 
 out from the Neomotos to my set of Conti Tour-Rides.  Once my brakes 
 arrive, I can swap calipers and borrow the Bombadil's Synergy wheels to 
 check it out w/ my particular frame.   If it goes as well as yours did, my 
 winter 650b wheelbuilding project will change course, instead of a 2nd set 
 of heavy-duty wheels for the Bomba, I will return the Synergys to the 
 Bomba 
 and build a road set for the Ram, so I can switch between my 700c and the 
 650b...

Re: [RBW] Question about Leslie's Ram

Funny:  the green was may favorite color, until I saw the orange:  hence, 
my orange Bomba... 

(http://www.flickr.com/photos/leslie_bright/6982957135/in/set-72157623199721925/)

Still love the green; but glad to have orange too.

That's my favorite color and you got the brazons!

I just bent my front fender a little and now have no rubbing.

[RBW] Re: Question about Leslie's Ram

[Leslie]

Thx guys!  


Jim,

It's one of the last ones, that I obtained through Mountain Sports Ltd in 
Bristol; I brought it home as a boxed frame.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/leslie_bright/4320448965/in/photostream/   

Braze-ons were on there, didn't have them added.In some of the RR's 
that were talking about the Ram as a coming model, it was mentioning a 
couple of models of the Long Shen crowns (are still used on some customs). 
  I asked Grant about the change from the earlier crowns to the later ones; 
he explained that they changed over now having a series of crowns for their 
normal models, the last of the Ram's, the Hilsen, the Atlantis, and even 
the Bomba... each different sizes/widths, as needed. 

A bit ago, we'd started trying to figure out how many of each color were 
made, is up on the Cyclofiend page:
http://www.cyclofiend.com/rbw/rambouillet/ Mine is the last one on that 
list. 


Will report back

Re: [RBW] Rear Safety lights that screw into seatstay braze ons.

[Jeremy Till]

The normal mounts for Planet Bike rear lights comes apart to attach 
different bands for seatstay or seatpost mounting, and as a result you can 
just bolt the bracket portion to a convenient braze on.  I mounted one to 
the upper seatstay mounts on a bike with no rear rack.

[RBW] Question about Leslie's Ram

[James Warren]

Leslie, that is a great bike. So it has the Hilsen lugs and the mini-rack 
mounts. Was this one of the last Rams they sold, and were those features sold 
on more Rams than just yours? Or did you get the mini-rack mounts as a special 
add-on?

We had a discussion about rack mounts on the Ram a few months ago, and I could 
have sworn that I had seen at least one late model green one that had them for 
mini-racks. Great bike. Makes me want to ride right now.

[RBW] Re: Fenders and Rams

[Leslie]

Ram w/ 700x32's under aluminum VO fenders.  The rear was fine, but the 
front was tight;  ended up switching to a 28 up front. 

SKS fenders, I think would have been easier to get to fit.   I think the 
people that have been running Jack BRowns under fenders have been either 
using the SKS fenders, or have modified the fenders to split at the brake.

Toshi, 

You've inspired me...   I've got a package from RBW enroute, new set of 
Tektro calipers (and a few other bits).  I've switched my Bombadil's tires 
out from the Neomotos to my set of Conti Tour-Rides.  Once my brakes 
arrive, I can swap calipers and borrow the Bombadil's Synergy wheels to 
check it out w/ my particular frame.   If it goes as well as yours did, my 
winter 650b wheelbuilding project will change course, instead of a 2nd set 
of heavy-duty wheels for the Bomba, I will return the Synergys to the Bomba 
and build a road set for the Ram, so I can switch between my 700c and the 
650b...

[RBW] Re: Fenders and Rams

I may have given the impression from my last post that I was
interested in converting my Riv Road to 650B.  I have zero interest in
making a conversion on my Riv Road.  It's a very nice bike as it's
currently equipped and the conversion to a 650B tire size isn't an
avenue I wish to pursue.

[RBW] Rivendell-friendly in Baltimore Inner Harbor area?

[Eric Platt]

Long shot if it is anyone of this list - but twice now, have seen someone
riding a Salsa Casseroll in blue with the small front rack.  Each time, the
bike has had a Rivendell bag up front. Once a tweek Nigel Smythe and one
greenish Sackville.

Are there any good Rivendell influenced shops in the harbor area?  I know
of Joe's(?) in Fells Point and noticed a racing influenced shop on the Key
Highway past Federal Hill.

Just wonderin' more than anything.

Re: [RBW] Re: Anyone mounted taillights to Longboards?

[Eric Platt]

The PDW Fenderbot tail light works on a Longboard fender.  And also on the
Planet Bike fenders.  Have in the past used them on the now departed Sam
Hillborne and departed Fargo.  Probably will set one up for the SimpleOne
next year, as the battery tail light on that bike is on the Nitto rear rack.

Did quite a bit of road and gravel road riding on those bikes with the tail
light attached and there was no undue rattling or bouncing.  The PDW light
is very light.

Re: [RBW] Re: strange happenings

[Eric Platt]

Am in agreement with Jim on this.  A number of years ago, rode my
long-departed Atlantis in a early season rain/late season snow ride.  About
60 miles.  Ended up with three flat tires.  And of course, only two spare
tubes.  Rode the last couple of miles on a flat tire.  Sadly, my progress
was so slow otherwise, it didn't make that much of a difference.  (FWIW,
the tire was a 26" 50mm Big Apple)

(Also reminds me of my dream bike - a 61cm Atlantis designed for 26"
wheels.)

Re: [RBW] Re: Anyone mounted taillights to Longboards?

[PATRICK MOORE]

How do you keep the blinkie aimed properly? When I attach them to a bag,
tey end up pointed downward and in effect lose half of their intensity.
I've resorted to a strobe on the Fargo which, not using LED technology,
does not have to be carefully aimed. But strobes use batteries up much more
quickly.

If I could find a way to keep blinkies properly aimed, the straps would
solve a lot of problems.

[RBW] Re: Anyone mounted taillights to Longboards?

[Jay in Tel Aviv]

I wouldn't.

I'm having enough trouble getting my Longboards to stay where I want
them, but that is probably because I have to stand the bike on end,
i.e. on the rear fender, to get it up and down the elevator in my
building. Which would make that spot not work for a light anyway.

I use a blinky clipped to my saddle bag.

[RBW] Re: strange happenings

[Jim Thill - Hiawatha Cyclery]

I have hypotheses about this:

1. Rain washes debris into the traffic lane, which makes it available for 
tires to run over.
2. The water acts as a lubricant to facilitate penetration. It may also 
serve as an adhesive to stick the debris to the tire tread.
3. Any debris that is embedded in the rubber may be repeatedly pressurized 
as the weight on the tire squeezes water into the hole, forcing the debris 
to penetrate deeper.
