Re: [RBW] Signal police

[Matthew J]

Having difficulty conceptually with all forms of rude driving behavior being 
equal.

Cyclists can and do often annoy.  They rarely kill or maim.

Bus drivers may be reported and in Chicago at least fired for reckless 
behavior. 

While auto casualties overall have declined, this is mainly because autos are 
safer and their occupants less likely to be hurt.  Pedestrian, cyclist and 
property encounters are increasing.  Except for the most egregious behavior, 
reporting does little good.  With cash strapped governments putting fewer cops 
on the road, I expect the problems with autos will only increase.

No one said that their sins are equal; I agree that motorists take their
responsibilities far, far too lightly, They just said that even motorists
have rights and that even cyclists have responsibilities.

Re: [RBW] Signal police

[jimD]

I've been commuting by my bike to my work with varying frequency over the past 
30 years.
 
For myself, and as a driver, I go by the philosophy that cars are not my 
friends when I'm bicycling.
I choose routes that expose me to the least amount of traffic.

When I commute by car I realize how other traffic, my sense of mission (must 
get to work, must get home, must get to store),
and all the other distractions, narrow my focus. I prefer to avoid this if 
possible. Add in the small percentage of my fellow
drivers who believe that bicycles have no place on the roads and things get 
sketchy. 

By and large I've found the greatest percentage of folks driving are 
considerate. What might be a 'fender bender' in my car is 
likely to be much worse for me on my bicycle..

[RBW] Re: Fenders and Rams

[Ryan Ray]

Thanks all,

I've decided to go with upgrading my brakes to Tektro 539s, switching to 
P45 SKS fenders, and keeping my 32mm pasela TGs (jack browns once they wear 
out). If anyone wants to sell me some Tektro 539s cool but I'll pick up 
some on ebay tonight otherwise.

Thanks again,

- Ryan

Ryan,   

Unless you find a used pair, buy the brakes from Rivendell.

Does this change mean that you will have a set of honjos up for sale?  I am 
looking for some.

[RBW] brakes

[Jay in Tel Aviv]

When I built my Sam last summer I selected what I thought were
reasonably priced drive train components that function reasonably
well.  One result I am less than extatic about is brakes, which are
Deore v-brakes with kool stop pads and the Tektro drop bar levers that
work with vees. This combination stops the bike just fine, but has
nowhere near the modulated feel of the calipers on my Brompton. In
comparison the vees fell, for want of a better word, clunky.

So, what am I doing wrong and what can be done to fix it? A different
typre of brake? A different model? Different levers and j-tek
thingies?

I love the feeling of control that good brakes provide. How to I gwt
that on my canti Sam?

Re: [RBW] Re: brakes

[PATRICK MOORE]

I was extatic about the IRD high-pro cantis Riv set up on the erstwhile Sam
Hillborne, with salmon pads, of course. Best brakes I've used: as powerful
as any V I've used, and as my Avid BB7s, and modulated better than either.
Tektro levers, fwiw.

I've tried Tektro and DiaCompe drop bar levers for v-brakes, and I've tried
j-tek. I've been satisfied with none of them. I run canti's with drop bars
for better stopping. I just set up a bike with Deore v-brakes and mountain
levers, and I'm really impressed by the stopping power.

Re: [RBW] Re: I think someone got a deal, hoom

[Eric Platt]

Good for them.  Looked at the listing, but no more, since my SimpleOne is
doing a good enough job.  Didn't need a second dedicated single speed.

Seems to me that the larger single speed bikes often go for less.  Still,
it was a good deal for someone.

[RBW] Rivendell Garage Sale - what'd you get?

[Philip Williamson]

I am honestly sorry for folks who couldn't make it, but I had such a good 
time, I have to share.
http://www.biketinker.com/2012/rambles/rivendell-garage-sale-haul/

My best score was a bunch of MUSA knickers. One pair for $20, and 3 pairs 
for $5 each. The coolest thing I don't actually need was a prototype Nitto 
"Dove" bar. I traded a Nitto welded steel stem back to them for it, which 
was my previous "super-cool thing I don't need." The Freddy Hoffman 
tee-shirt is pretty cool.

[RBW] Rivendell Garage Sale - what'd you get?

[Crazy4Suki]

I got a pair of 650b Middys for $5. There were some great deals on some used 
Hilsens for $1700, a mystery bike for $2000 and the 48 Sam with moustache for 
$2000. Saw more but that's what stood out in my mind. I went specifically 
looking for new tires for my Betty but brought $1500 in cash just in case lol.

Would have been nice to go, however, no way am flying out to the west coast

Re: [RBW] Late Fall on a Rivendell...with pics...

[PATRICK MOORE]

Eric -- thanks for some of the nicest photos I've seen in a while
(referring to the earlier ones, too). It's all so ... green! And the dirt
and gravel is so smooth and groomed! And -- I've not seen the S1 headbadge
before: what a *nice* badge! Simple but in no way crude.

What tires? And how fat can the S1 go? I really must build up a ss for dirt
roads. (Adding another want to the long list ...)

[RBW] Re: Rivendell Garage Sale - what'd you get?

[dougP]

Philip:

Thanks for posting.  I wish they'd give us a bit more notice when they
schedule these.  It's an all day drive (each way) between me & RBWHQ
so it would make a great long weekend to do the sale then a day or 2
of riding.  Maybe next year.

[RBW] Re: brakes

[dougP]

Jay:

This is interesting.  I have exactly the same set-up as you on my
Atlantis & couldn't be happier.  The Deores are the plain ones that
Riv had on close-out last year, just plain Deore with no extra letters
or fiddly pads.  Before that I had Tektro 720s for a long time (with
the appropriate levers) and they just took too much lever pull.  The
Vs work great on long steep downhills and modulate better than the
cantis.

One variable may be cable housing.  When I changed the brakes, I
bought some extremely stiff cable housing.  Don't recall the brand but
was about 3X as pricey as Shimano standard housing.  My cables run
under the bar tape, so plenty of tight bends.

Another variable I haven't personally tested is whether or not letting
the cables "run where they may" would be any different.  Even though
the Tektro levers have the same pull as MTB levers, I suspect the
cable routing with the tight bends under the bar tape may create some
additional friction.  I have a note to self to see what, if any,
effect freeing up the cables may have but that will have to wait until
the next time the bar tape needs replacing.

Keep us posted on whatever you try.  I keep learning new stuff here.

[RBW] Something I wish Rivendell (or anyone else) would make

[Jim Cloud]

There's often threads on this forum, and others, about cycling apparel
that isn't Lycra.  One thing I think would sell like hotcakes is a
very accurate reproduction of the cycling shorts made previously by
Hebden Cord in England.  These shorts, while still "cycling specific"
in their design would wear nicely off the bike without looking too
racy.

Here's a couple of sites that show the cycling shorts:

http://www.archivalclothing.com/2006/11/hebden-cord-co-ltd.html

http://www.flickr.com/photos/smallwheelsociety/4669291206/

I'm lucky if I can sew a missing button back on a shirt, or I'd
attempt to reproduce the shorts myself.

Re: [RBW] Something I wish Rivendell (or anyone else) would make

[PATRICK MOORE]

+1. The MUSAs are nice (at least the older models; I've not tried the new)
but they are definitely casual. These look almost dressy and appear to be
just as practical.

One appeal to all makers of cycling pants: make them high in the back! I've
owned several pairs of expensive cycling pants that were cut like modern
dress trousers, that is, low waist all around. No good! Even the MUSAs --
again, the older ones -- are too low for real comfort. I wonder if the new
ones are better in that regard? But I do like the trim fit of the old ones
otherwise.

[Jeremy Till]

Here's mine: 

http://www.flickr.com/photos/85709120@N07/8197638682/

Most of it (bars, seatpost, FD, probably crankset) is for my wife's 
recently acquired Heron Wayfarer F/F, which we are building up into her 
first touring bike.  After yesterday she's itching to get the rest of what 
she needs and is super excited to build it up.  

The dyno hubs were also a screaming deal.  Super excited, this will be my 
first dyno.

[RBW] Re: Rivendell Garage Sale - what'd you get?

[Benz, Sunnyvale, CA]

I went with two other Rivendell-aware riding buddies and had a blast 
working through the bargains and chatting with other friends whom I've not 
seen in person for a while (e.g., Manny A).

*Best score:
*8 pieces of Wooly Warm baselayers. At $5 a piece, it felt like stealing. 
Sure, they were all XS and I'm 5'10", but the wife was very happy so I 
didn't need to do too much explaining for...

*Coolest scores I don't actually need:
*A NOS Atlantis frameset. Yup, I was the other guy lugging around an 
Atlantis frameset. They sold at least 2 Atlantis framesets and 1 
almost-complete bike that day. The old I picked up was one of the early 
Toyos and there were some paint chips and other superficial marks (can't be 
beausage since it actually hasn't been used), but at the price they were 
asking, I *had* to scrounge up the cash.

It was at least the 3rd time that a discounted Atlantis knocked. The first 
was a barely used one from Box Dog Bikes in SF. I saw the online ad and 
hurried over during my lunchtime. I almost crashed into another gentleman 
going through the BDB door but being gentlemen, we proceeded to invite the 
other to go first. He eventually did but he also *bought that Atlantis! *Oh 
well. The second time was at another Riv garage sale. A bit of hesitation 
and it was sold to another gentleman who was just slightly less undecided. 
I suppose the third time's a charm so now an Atlantis shares stable space 
with my commuter LHT.

*Coolest score I actually need:
*SP dynamo hubs for $20 each. Just in time as the runtime of my old Dinotte 
lights are getting mighty short. I can't even run the light on high anymore 
as the current draw depresses the battery voltage so much the light thinks 
we're out of power. I'll need to build the wheel and buy a compatible light 
so this will be a month-long project.

I too got plenty of baselayer woolies. Also snagged the blue powercoated 
bullmoose, a bunch of micro shift derailleurs and best of all a muddy bike.

pictures proved that I'm done with xmas shopping:

[RBW] Re: Something I wish Rivendell (or anyone else) would make

[Jim Cloud]

I was thinking about the longer length shorts, as they're shown in the
Hebden Cord catalog specifically.  The Flickr photo is the only one
that I've found that actually shows a pair of Hedben Cord shorts,
they're obviously quite short in length.  If Russell Brand would "rock
those" as you've stated I could care less

Re: [RBW] Re: I think someone got a deal, hoom

[Philip Williamson]

$900 (with shipping) for a bike that originally sold for $1400... Seems fair. A 
little high, except the Brooks comes with.

True, but you'd also have to add shipping to the original Rivendell purchase 
price.
