Re: [RBW] Options for making a Quickbeam a multi speed
There are also 2-speed options (that don't require cold-setting or chain-tensioners): - Sturmey Archer makes the 2-speed S2 Duomatic Kickshift hub with 120mm spacing... and provides direct drive in 1st gear and a +38% 2nd gear - This costs about $75 and comes in coaster or non-coaster, and 32/36 hole configurations. (I have one of these waiting to be laced up)... - FSA makes the Metropolis Patterson 2-speed internal geared crankset. This provides direct drive in 1st gear (28 tooth chainring) and a +57% 2nd gear (44 tooth chainring equivalent). It is a full crankset and includes the bottom bracket. It fits a standard 168mm BB shell. (I have this on my SimpleOne and love it... to me it never stops feeling like a single speed; but I have an expanded range of terrain I can now ride without dismounting) Ah, so many options... but in the end, there's nothing like the simplicity of a single speed *(he said as he pondered further.. hmmm... what would it be like to combine the Duomatic with the Patterson??? hm mbwaahhh!!!)* On Tuesday, November 20, 2012 9:53:00 AM UTC-5, Patrick Moore wrote: Actually I can see that a hub gear either fixed or free makes sense, given the dropouts.

[RBW] Re: An alternative to helmet safety?
But 1)Bike helmets only work once 2) there is no testing of which I am aware that demonstrates the relative safety of the design versus a bike helmet 3) If is in fact more safe than a bike helmet than the author is arguing that increased safety is not worth a few hundred bucks? Given the exuberant advocacy from many helmet promoters I find three rather curious. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Oh man, I had so much fun at the RBW garage sale. I didn't score anything big, just a lot of little things... I got a rain bag cover for my acorn box bag $5, wool arm/leg warmers $20 total, a 650b front wheel (Twin Hollow to Deore Hub) for $20, another unknown rim to deore rear wheel w/ 9 speed cassette $20, 2 Jack Brown Blues for $5!!!, free fatty pumpkin tires, Drive side sugino xd-2 Crankset w/ rings for $30... Overall, I think my best deals were 650b front wheel $20 and 2 new-ish condition Jack Browns for $5. :) My coolest thing, was surprisingly the rain bag cover for my Acorn bag. It's perfect for randonneuring! Major props to Rivendell folks for being so cool even when it was chaotic.

My last post seems to have never made it. A heavily used frameset that never saw its rejuvenation. Too many projects, time for this Joe Starck built, Joe Bell painted frame to find a new home. Photos can be seen here. This Riv could use a fresh paint job, however it can be ridden as is. No dents or cracks; a sound frame. *http://tinyurl.com/cldvhvg* TT is 59.5cm (center to center) and ST is 60cm (center to top), rear chainstays are about 435-440mm, dropouts are horizontal. It has very ornate lugs. Still looks really nice. Rivendell thinks the head angle is 73.5 and the seat tube is 72. Should fit 32mm-35mm. The rear spacing is 130mm. $500, plus shipping for the frame and fork. Many thanks-AJ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Options for making a Quickbeam a multi speed
hi i put derailers on my quickbeam. it was easy just use an adapter to add a rear derailer and use a phil or paul 5sp 120 hub or any of the ones from the fifties thru the early 80s. i got a nice used 120mm 700c wheel used for 30 bucks at the lbs. i even use the nice silver bar end shifters. just go for it joe On Monday, November 19, 2012 10:47:11 PM UTC-5, Michael Williams wrote: Hey group, I know a QB is an intended SS, BUT.. if you were contemplating making it an ON THE SADDLE, multi speed, and not an off the bike dingle, what are some options/ideas?Thank you in advance!! -Mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Lock question
My wife has a lovely HH and is afraid to use it. She'll ride it in the park, or out to the beach, but she won't use it for errands because she's afraid to leave it locked in front of a store for 10 minutes. I think her old CrypticNight lock is inadequate, but there must be something that is useful out there (I hope.) She does not plan to lock it to the fence at Dolores Park overnight, she just wants to be able to go to the bakery or the grocery store and have the thing still be there when she comes out.

Re: [RBW] Options for making a Quickbeam a multi speed
I'll second these suggestions and throw in the Schlumpf counterpart to the Metropolis/Patterson: http://www.schlumpf.ch/hp/schlumpf/antriebe_engl.htm And, in case there is was any confusion, the S2 Duomatic kickshift doesn't have a coaster brake, the S2C does.

(I have one of these waiting to be laced up)... - FSA makes the Metropolis Patterson 2-speed internal geared crankset. This provides direct drive in 1st gear (28 tooth chainring) and a +57% 2nd gear (44 tooth chainring equivalent). It is a full crankset and includes the bottom bracket. It fits a standard 168mm BB shell.

Re: [RBW] Lock question
Abus Bordo are very nice. Get the extra heavy duty one. Bordo has the flexibility of a chain but convenience of a U-lock as it comes in a handy sleeve designed to attach in place of a water bottle. If your wife is still worried, supplment with the new ultra-light Abus u-lock which she can use a-la Sheldon Brown to secure rear wheel to the seat tube. Both made in Germany to high standards. The keys are especially complicated. Be easier to steal a car than to get those two off. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Lock question
Hi Ned, I can relate to your wife; my Rivendell bicycle is my sole vehicle so I'm very protective of it. TiGr (http://tigrlock.com/) makes a very strong, lightweight titanium lock that allows you to lock both wheels and the frame to a secure bike stand. It is the strongest theft deterrent I have found. I supplement that with a D-lock, and intend to install pit lock skewers (http://www.pitlock.com/) to lock my seat post, wheels, saddle and seat post (in the meantime, I secure my seat post and saddle with a second D-lock). Another couple of security items I'd like to get and install are a GPS device (ex.: www.spybike-gps.com) to alert me in the advent of someone taking my bike, and an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification Device like www.snagg.com) to help me in recovering my bike if it is stolen. These are not common in North America yet, but I think there is growing interest. Lastly, she might be interested in looking into bicycle insurance options that are becoming available, like Clipp (http://getclipp.com) or Better World (http://www.betterworldclub.com/bicycles/bike_assistance.cfm/) which doesn't, as far as I know, cover theft, but offers interesting benefits.

[RBW] Re: Lock question
I'm not sure how old your Kryptonite is, but the current u-locks from them and OnGuard are more than up to this purpose, IMHO. I regularly use my 8 yo kryponite to luck up my QB on errands, and I live in a fairly high bicycle theft area. The current key systems are very hard to pick and you're not getting through the shackle with anything less than an angle grinder or maybe a car jack. OnGuard even guarantees their lock up to $1500 for the replacement of the bicycle. Cable locks are definitely inadequate, since they can be cut quickly with relatively simple tools (bolt cutters), making a bike locked with a cable an attractive target for opportunistic thieves. In any case, I think the best bet is not leaving the bike unattended for long periods anywhere. Since she wants to use it for errands, I think she's already avoiding that risk.

[RBW] Re: Lock question
here's the Abus catalog - http://uk.abus.com/myfolder/52986_Katalog_MoSi_2011_ENG_screen.pdf - they do a good job of rating security features for each lock design. For errand running, my vote is for the Abus cable lock. It would take a powered abrasive cut-off to get through a cable, and it would take more than several minutes and make a lot of visible sparks. Would take more 15 minutes to chew through with bolt cutters. On Sunday, November 18, 2012 4:37:44 PM UTC-6, Ned Ludd wrote: My wife has a lovely HH and is afraid to use it.

A heavily used frameset that never saw its rejuvenation. Too many projects, time for this Joe Starck built, Joe Bell painted frame to find a new home. Photos can be seen here. This Riv could use a fresh paint job, however it can be ridden as is. No dents or cracks; a sound frame. *http://tinyurl.com/cldvhvg* TT is 59.5cm (center to center) and ST is 60cm (center to top), rear chainstays are about 435-440mm, dropouts are horizontal. It has very ornate lugs. Still looks really nice. Rivendell thinks the head angle is 73.5 and the seat tube is 72. Should fit 32mm-35mm. The rear spacing is 130mm. $500, plus shipping for the frame and fork. Many thanks-AJ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Lock question
I'm sure my view won't be a popular one, but if your wife has a bike she considers too nice to lock up, no manner of security device is going to matter much to her while she's in the store stressing. I have a lovely Saluki (not finished yet, but almost there) that I might lock up for a quick dash into 7-11, but I won't be leaving it for 10 or 20 minutes while I peruse the supermarket. I have a mid-'90s Marin MTB set up expressly for those kinds of errands. It's a nice bike, but not worth much, and it wouldn't be the end of the world for me if someone snagged it.

Re: [RBW] Lock question
Will chime in and vote for the Abus lock Rivendell sells. Not as heavy as the Bordo series, which makes it more convenient to carry. I use it for my commuting lock.

[RBW] Re: Lock question
I have an abus bordo lock. I did a bunch of research and in the end decided to go with having a lock that was *different* than what bike thieves are used to seeing, rather than a better version of one that they know (u lock, cable lock, etc). The lock doesn't have to be impenetrable it just has to be better than the worst locked bike around it. It is a bit heavy, but I think it's worth the weight. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Lock question
I have to agree with Joe, I just love my Rivendell's too much to leave them locked up outside somewhere. I also love my MB2 but if it got jacked I could replace it for around $350 bucks, which is no chump change but that is about what just my Dyno wheel and lights just cost me on the Bombadil. I also have an Xmart bike that was left behind in the basement in case I just want to run out and not even bother to lock, it helps it is a girls bike, what do I care what people think, I know I have a beautiful bike waiting at home for quality rides!

[RBW] Re: An alternative to helmet safety?
I like the product. Creative and innovative. Can't say that I'd buy one since I prefer my cautious riding style when I leave my helmet at home. That's not to say that I don't wear a helmet when I think the conditions warrant it. And as someone else pointed out - most other helmets are good for a single impact as well - so this is not really a drawback.

Re: [RBW] Lock question
Now now. Bikes too precious to lock up aren't too precious to ride. Most of my rides don't involve my bike being out of my sight. For those jaunts, I use a different bike.
