[RBW] Front Rack ideas
I am working on a Sam Hillborne build. I got a used 60cm single top tube sidepull brake edition (thanks Jim M!). I am trying to keep this build on a strict budget, which is tough. I wanted to hear from your ideas to solve the following problems: 1. I have a Soma mini front rackhttp://store.somafab.com/somialfrra.html, with a Wald 139 zip tied on, but it is too short to clear 38mm tires and fenders. I have it p-clambed to my current bike and that works ok, but feels more wobbly than if it were bolted on, I think. Is there a way to extend the legs? I was thinking of a connector between the rack and eyelet, but I think a joint there would be prone to flex with weight. 2. The Mark's rack would be great in theory, but expensive and only is expected to take 4.4 pounds. 3. Anyone had any experience with this dutch rackhttp://www.dutchbikebits.com/index.php?route=product/productpath=38product_id=187? They sell it in the US herehttp://rollingorangebikes.com/front-carrier-steco/. Shipping/importing makes it pricey. Pros - sturdy as heck. Cons - a bit overbuilt? Damage to headtube? 4. I looked at these racks from Racktimehttp://www.ebikestop.com/racktime_topit_universal_front_mount_rack_silver-RK7206.php?PARTNER=GOOGPSgclid=CMz2mIe8yrUCFQ7NnAodaWcAhA. Never heard of that seller. All the pictureshttp://www.flickr.com/photos/geiranders/5134857957/in/photostream/I have seen set them pretty high. Anybody used one on a Sam? How are the Sam mid-fork braze-ons in terms of height compared to other manufacturers? Thishttp://twosixteen.com/fivetoedsloth/2010/10/top-racks-and-mid-fork-bosses/review of racks says Rivendell's are higher than others. True? 5. Reading that review made me look at this Blackburnhttp://www.blackburndesign.com/racks/front-racks/mtf-1-front.html. Anybody used that with Riv mid forks? 6. I looked at Jenny's Hilsen on the staff bikes page and she said she used this Sun-Lite QR rackhttp://sunlitecycling.com/product_detail.php?short_code=QR-TEC+Front+Rackcl1=RACKS+FOR+BIKES- I'd rather bolt it than use up the quick release, as it would then no longer release, quickly! 7. General considerations 1. Price 2. Weight (not of the rack, but capability - I usually throw my work bag in there and sometimes up to a case of beer - 20-30lb) 3. Can I attach a front headlight? I am loving the BM IQ fly RT from Peter White. 4. And of course quality and longevity, but I have had basic cheap racks last a long time in my daily commute needs. 8. I think the new Sam's have two eyelets on each side up front, which would probably have solved everything! Other suggestions? Herehttp://www.flickr.com/photos/90785999@N06/8497462361/in/photostreamis a picture of where I am, mid-build. Thanks in advance.

[RBW] Re: Any Riv tandem riders--tire width?
My wife and I have been riding a custom made Santana Noventa for the past several years our choice of tire size is 700x28 sans fenders. We originally used Conti Gatorskins and then switched to Ruffy Tuffy's . We were once part of the go fast crowd and actually considered the 700x28's to be a concession in speed for comfort and durability. We average approx 1 flat per 1k miles. We did once encounter a split casing and had to mount a new tire to finish the ride (good thing we had a spare, eh). I just built myself a new Rivendell A. Homer Hilsen and run 650b x 38's that I have just fell in love with. This has me giving serious thought to switching to 700x32's on the Santana I believe this would be an ideal set-up for more comfort and durability without much sacrifice in speed . -Ricky On Thursday, February 7, 2013 1:53:35 AM UTC-5, Salween wrote: Don't know if Grant and Co. will ever produce a tandem, so in the meantime will be getting one elsewhere.

[RBW] Re: Any Riv tandem riders--tire width?
We use 35 mm tandem tires, and as much as I like wider tires /hetres on my single bikes, 35 seems optimal...there is plenty of useful flexion in the frame of all these tandems, that wider (and I did have hetres on for a trial on the santana) didn't yield appreciable benefit. That said, our favorite tandem is the bike friday! - though it's a bit of a sporty / weird ride. With my wife who is a sprinter / and me, it's 350lbs of person + 35 lb bike, accelerating like mad; and because there's so much yield to the frame / it's not unlike driving a turbocharged front wheel drive race car / you have to hold it sideways to go straight. As compared to the Santana, which is like a locomotive...that one really hauls too. But increased tire size never really made a difference (decreased, ie we tried 25s on it once...was awful).

Thanks for that feedback Ed. All quite useful.

In the west I could see using a drum on long multi-mile descents, especially when loaded. In Colorado I had to scrub speed periodically which works fine, but with a drum one could engage it and just ride. That said I rode tandem with cantis in the past and would not go back, given the power of discs in wet conditions. Our previous Speedster was set up to take discs, drum and cantis, but we never installed anything but disks. The handling of our Java is only slightly slower than our Speedster. Still more responsive than our Cannondale MTB tandem. Dwan told me they worked to make the Java handle similar to the Speedster when using comparable size tires. They design with low bottom brackets which helps. We have not used tires bigger than 700x 32 yet so can't say how bigger tires might affect handling. I asked for it to be a little more stable on slow uphills than our Speedster and Dwan achieved that. Wheels -- we haven't had an issue with 700c wheels in SS cases, with tires deflated.

Considering the same for the first time, but the Arai sure has been a trusted friend when needed. 2) How do you find the handling given that the Java's front geometry is quite a bit different from Co-Motion's other tandems--and as Jay noted possibly akin to 32mm tires on a Santana?

[RBW] Sunday: wind, sand, sun, cold.
https://picasaweb.google.com/BERTIN753/NORTHOFALAMEDAANDEASTOFCORRALESACEQUIAROADS022413 I rode to church (~8 miles), then, later, back to Sprouts (our low budget Wild Oats) to meet my brother to explore the acequia roads between Corrales and Bernalillo. Firm but gravely hardpack and sand swamps. And goatheads. My brother flatted twice on the 15 mile out and back; not me, despite flicking a couple of deeply buried thorns from my front tire. Eastbound I spun out my 83 high gear on pavement thanks to a strong NWesterly, but we tcould only grun along slowly northbound on the raised and exposed service roads. After dropping pressure to ~12/15 the sand was easy. Riding back west to our starting point, into steady 33 mph NWesterlies, my brother quipped, between gasps, world's sorriest paceline as we grunted along at 12 mph on pavement. Temps in the low 30s. -- - 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.

@ Jim, Thanks coming from you with all your experience it means a lot.

Re: [RBW] Re: Los Angeles Urban Solo ride.
H... The approach to the trailhead is a couple hours of spinning uphill relentlessly with traffic passing you at 60mph. Great payoff when you get off the hwy and onto the old road. Real nice climb up to Angelus Oaks. Lunch up there at The Oaks restaurant, then a FAST downhill back to civilization.

Re: [RBW] Re: Los Angeles Urban Solo ride.
By the by I been meaning to try out a ride from Castaic on the Old Ridge Route, which was the original route by the old timers bringing supplies from Bakersfield to Los Angeles, there's a 14 mile stretch designated a historical landmark and is closed to traffic, the old pavement has disintegrated and seems perfect for a mixed terrain ride it has something like 2500 to 3000’ elevation. I may ride it this coming Saturday if the weather cooperates and nothing on the calendar? If I do I'll report back on the feasibility and worthiness.

Re: [RBW] Re: RCW S24O Saturday-Sunday February 23-24
Great memorable time. Rolled on to bart from San Leandro and low and behold I run into Anne. When we rolled up to Rivendell HQ it was typical Rivendell business. Folks rolling around on bikes or checking out other bikes. Liesl was there rolling around on the Appaloosa. We all lingered at the shop to wait for a handful of people and with the sun coming down we rolled out not really knowing where we were going but just going anyway. We rolled over to Shell Ridge just at as the sun was setting with the dark quickly rolling in. A good number of joggers and dog walkers wondered where we were going, we just told them that we were on a training ride for a tour...*wink* *wink* We get to the campsite pretty much in the dark. We set up tents and got food ready for the night. On the last camp trip with Dustin I told him next time we go camping I would bring a live crab and sure enough I did for this one. Everyone felt bad for Sebastian because he pretty much had multiple concessions along the way to camp. I like to think I gave him one last adventure. Everyone shared food. Very few partook on the crab I was willing to shared, Grant didn't bode a lot of confidence in my food choice saying that I better cook it pass bacteria growing standards. Gladly I did cook it right and the night went without issue. Not before we had a short mini hike to warm-up the toes. We woke up to a clear beautiful day and had some spam quesadillas. Liesl as a sign of thanks offered a really cool beads to everyone that was able to come on the trip. We rode back to Rivendell HQ for expressos and cappuccinos made by Rivendell's own barista Keven. Apparently Keven roasts his own coffee beans. Keven can roast a mean bean. Maybe new Rivendell musa product? I wouldn't mind buying Rivendell coffee beans with cool roast names after their own bikes! Oh a man can dream. Great people, great day, great time. Again big thanks to the Rivendell crew on making this happen. Great time out. Congrats to Liesl again and thanks again for the cool bead. Pictures proved that Bill beat me to my link. http://flic.kr/s/aHsjE7TUgf -Manny Crab and Spam? Best camp food ever!

[RBW] Re: Front Rack ideas
I JUST finished installing a Blackburn MTF rack up front on my bro's bike. The installation required some tweaking with the mid-fork braze-ons (to get the rack level), but overall I think it looks like a decent rack. It attaches only at the mid-fork and lower eyelets, and I'm not sure how suitable it would be for heavier loads (Blackburn claims it carries 25 lb, so maybe no more than 35 lbs?). This rack was inexpensive enough ($35-$40) to take a chance (and even repaint it kelly green)... Link to photohttp://www.flickr.com/photos/16461051@N04/8503972004/ Good luck. On Friday, February 22, 2013 1:07:36 PM UTC-5, Edwin W wrote: I am working on a Sam Hillborne build. I got a used 60cm single top tube sidepull brake edition (thanks Jim M!). I am trying to keep this build on a strict budget, which is tough. I wanted to hear from your ideas to solve the following problems: 1. I have a Soma mini front rackhttp://store.somafab.com/somialfrra.html, with a Wald 139 zip tied on, but it is too short to clear 38mm tires and fenders. I have it p-clambed to my current bike and that works ok, but feels more wobbly than if it were bolted on, I think. Is there a way to extend the legs? I was thinking of a connector between the rack and eyelet, but I think a joint there would be prone to flex with weight. 2. The Mark's rack would be great in theory, but expensive and only is expected to take 4.4 pounds. 3. Anyone had any experience with this dutch rackhttp://www.dutchbikebits.com/index.php?route=product/productpath=38product_id=187? They sell it in the US herehttp://rollingorangebikes.com/front-carrier-steco/. Shipping/importing makes it pricey. Pros - sturdy as heck. Cons - a bit overbuilt? Damage to headtube? 4. I looked at these racks from Racktimehttp://www.ebikestop.com/racktime_topit_universal_front_mount_rack_silver-RK7206.php?PARTNER=GOOGPSgclid=CMz2mIe8yrUCFQ7NnAodaWcAhA. Never heard of that seller. All the pictureshttp://www.flickr.com/photos/geiranders/5134857957/in/photostream/I have seen set them pretty high. Anybody used one on a Sam? How are the Sam mid-fork braze-ons in terms of height compared to other manufacturers? Thishttp://twosixteen.com/fivetoedsloth/2010/10/top-racks-and-mid-fork-bosses/review of racks says Rivendell's are higher than others. True? 5. Reading that review made me look at this Blackburnhttp://www.blackburndesign.com/racks/front-racks/mtf-1-front.html. Anybody used that with Riv mid forks? 6. I looked at Jenny's Hilsen on the staff bikes page and she said she used this Sun-Lite QR rackhttp://sunlitecycling.com/product_detail.php?short_code=QR-TEC+Front+Rackcl1=RACKS+FOR+BIKES- I'd rather bolt it than use up the quick release, as it would then no longer release, quickly! 7. General considerations 1. Price 2. Weight (not of the rack, but capability - I usually throw my work bag in there and sometimes up to a case of beer - 20-30lb) 3. Can I attach a front headlight? I am loving the BM IQ fly RT from Peter White. 4. And of course quality and longevity, but I have had basic cheap racks last a long time in my daily commute needs. 8. I think the new Sam's have two eyelets on each side up front, which would probably have solved everything! Other suggestions?

Re: [RBW] Re: Los Angeles Urban Solo ride.
Yes that's correct. There's if I'm not mistaken a 17.5 mile section that was designated a historic route in 1997 but still closed pending repairs. I intend to explore it. From the Ridge Route web page: An Adventure Pass is NO LONGER REQUIRED. There are NO designated Developed Campgrounds along the Ridge Route. Areas without Developed Campgrounds are referred to as Open Despersed Areas. Open Despersed Areas allow camping. This may be a S240 in the future.

Depends what you mean by camping... rode across the Columbia River to WA and stayed in a cabin at Battle Ground Lake State Parkhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/15966859@N07/8463040616/earlier this month. A couple souls, more hardy than I, slept in tents on that trip. Despite the cool and wet reputation there are nice days pretty much year round in the Pac NW.

Re: [RBW] Re: RCW S24O Saturday-Sunday February 23-24
I rode over to Union City (30 miles, mostly along creeks and the bay on paths separated from cars, which is really cool in the middle of such a big urban area), hopped on BART, and as I was chatting with another cyclist (bike tourist, steel bike, nice guy) who should come up behind me but Manny. We arrived at RWHQ to be greeted by Liesl, the Riv Chica Warrior herself. As we were waiting for the rest of the crowd to assemble, it began to get cool, and somehow one of those wonderful possum wool caps with the brim made its way from the shelf to my head by way of the cash register. It's never safe to walk into RWHQ. Eventually we all rode off, on a pretty mellow ride to, um, somewhere, with trails. Chickens like me walked some of it (hey, it was bumpy and downhill and by that time dark). And then we pushed our bikes to the flat spot on top of the hill, where we could look out all around and see the lights of the metropolis. Several Trangias emerged. Bacon-wrapped sausages appeared. There was chocolate. It was cold. The next morning, the sun was shining, and we could see the bay and everything, and Liesl gave us each a tiny trade bead. I'm going to sew mine onto the zipper pull of my tool bag. And then we went back to RWHQ and had coffee with real whipped cream, which is awesome. Also Cowgirl Creamery cheese which is also awesome.

Firm but gravely hardpack and sand swamps. And goatheads. My brother flatted twice on the 15 mile out and back; not me, despite flicking a couple of deeply buried thorns from my front tire. Eastbound I spun out my 83 high gear on pavement thanks to a strong NWesterly, but we tcould only grun along slowly northbound on the raised and exposed service roads. After dropping pressure to ~12/15 the sand was easy. Riding back west to our starting point, into steady 33 mph NWesterlies, my brother quipped, between gasps, world's sorriest paceline as we grunted along at 12 mph on pavement. Temps in the low 30s. -- - 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.
