It adds weight and if you are the only person with a trailer you are going to work harder to keep up. It also means one more wheel- flats, etc. It is a pain to travel with and can make bus and train trips a major chore. It will also be one more bag to check if you are flying.

Compared to 42 cm Noodles, the Midge is as comfortable on the hoods (this is where, for me, the Midge shines) but considerably less so in the hooks -- again, width and, also, because you simply can't set up the hooks to be parallel to the ground: they are far too shallow and short. OTOH, the 42 Noodles were useless on anything except firm surfaces, while the Midge is wide enough even at the hoods to offer considerable leverage and, in the hooks, gives all the control you need. My problems with the Midge are (1) the great width in the hooks and (2) how the slanted hooks make my very sensitive left palm suffer. This last may be helped with even more added padding. As to the first, I am wondering if I should lower the bar (currently ~2 cm above saddle) a cm or two and use the hooks, not the hoods, as the cruising position. But this means that, off road, the hooks will be hard to use on steep drop-offs where you need maximum grip and braking. Perhaps the solution is to have a separate off-road bike that I can set up without any compromise for road riding ... -- __ BUSINESS BUILDING COME-ON!! $300 off a $600 resume + letter or Linked In profile package with referral that leads to full price sale!

[RBW] Re: Midge, again
Matt, that is OUTSTANDING! It's crazy to me how there are so many dirt drop and alt bars out there, with new ones coming out seemingly all the time, and yet how none of them seem to be able to get it just right. I know this is highly subjective and personal but, with the exception of width which might depend on an individual rider's build, it doesn't seem like you should have to compromise one obviously good feature to accommodate another. Yet the options are always either: too narrow on top to give you an upper hand position (old WTB and 3TTT, etc.), too deep of a drop to the lower sections for hard-core off-road riding by people without racer physique (Nitto, etc.), way more flare and width than you actually need at the ends for ergonomics and wrist clearance sake (Woodchipper, etc.), too angled at the bend to make the hoods comfortable (Origin 8 Gary, etc.), too short in the extensions to give you a full hand grip (Midge, etc), available only for oversize stem clamps (Ragely Luxy, Soma Junebug, etc), unable to accommodate bar-end shifters (new WTB Mountain Road, etc.), etc., etc. (Not to mention. If you're only going to offer a component in one color, it should be polished SILVER, not black, duh.) I think YOU may have almost created the perfect bar though. I'd love to hear your impressions and some more photos, after you put some time on them. On the other hand, I completely agree that the 48cm Noodles actually are almost perfect as they are. The only reason I even keep trying to find something else is because having different bars helps me justify owning multiple, otherwise redundant bikes - a'la Sheldon philosophy.

[RBW] Re: Midge, again
That is a great mod. Without bar-end shifters, Midges are too short for my best comfort. With bar-end shifters in, they're fine. If I ran the zoo, I would have designed them with an extra inch or so on each side, with engraved markings for the owners to chop them shorter.

The grips were too short and my wrists were really uncomfortable with their outward flare. I've been riding 46cm and 48cm Noodles, which I like a lot, esp. the 48's, and shelved the Midges. Long story short, a millwright at work very kindly helped me modify 'em.

[RBW] Experience with Long-Finger Gloves
I've been experimenting with gloves and hand comfort, and it seems like unpadded gloves work better for me.

[RBW] Re: Midge, again
My mileage varies. I think the old WTB bars are perfect, and the Midges are quite good. I like the flare - that's the best feature of these bars. The width on the tops is fine for me, but I don't ride on the tops. I don't like Noodles, so I think that might be a watershed for people. Philip www.biketinker.com On Thursday, March 7, 2013 8:07:34 AM UTC-8, iamkeith wrote: Matt, that is OUTSTANDING! It's crazy to me how there are so many dirt drop and alt bars out there, with new ones coming out seemingly all the time, and yet how none of them seem to be able to get it just right. I know this is highly subjective and personal but, with the exception of width which might depend on an individual rider's build, it doesn't seem like you should have to compromise one obviously good feature to accommodate another. Yet the options are always either: too narrow on top to give you an upper hand position (old WTB and 3TTT, etc.), too deep of a drop to the lower sections for hard-core off-road riding by people without racer physique (Nitto, etc.), way more flare and width than you actually need at the ends for ergonomics and wrist clearance sake (Woodchipper, etc.), too angled at the bend to make the hoods comfortable (Origin 8 Gary, etc.), too short in the extensions to give you a full hand grip (Midge, etc), available only for oversize stem clamps (Ragely Luxy, Soma Junebug, etc), unable to accommodate bar-end shifters (new WTB Mountain Road, etc.), etc., etc. (Not to mention. If you're only going to offer a component in one color, it should be polished SILVER, not black, duh.) I think YOU may have almost created the perfect bar though. I'd love to hear your impressions and some more photos, after you put some time on them. On the other hand, I completely agree that the 48cm Noodles actually are almost perfect as they are. The only reason I even keep trying to find something else is because having different bars helps me justify owning multiple, otherwise redundant bikes - a'la Sheldon philosophy.

Are you going to remove flare from a Midge bar, or modify a Noodle for offroad use? I think the original Cunningham offroad drops were custom-bent Cinelli bars. I don't think I'd want an offroad drop that wasn't heat treated, though. You might be able to heat treat your modified bars in the oven (How hard could it be? Note: I'm an artist, not an engineer).

[RBW] Re: Does shellaced tape feel crusty?
Riding in the hot and humid land of shellac where it's readily available in all shades for about $1 for 12 ounces ready to apply, it's a no brainer for me. I don't really notice it being sticky (maybe just used to it) except a day or two after (re)application, and indeed a bit when it rains. Using it over cork. Can see it being an acquired taste, but it sure is easier for me to touch-up shellac than re-wrap. Wish it did not take me so long to learn its wonders in this application.

Re: [RBW] Front Rack ideas
On Fri, Feb 22, 2013 at 1:07 PM, Edwin W dweenda...@hotmail.com wrote: Reading that review made me look at this Blackburn. Anybody used that with Riv mid forks? Since I wrote that review/comparison (I didn't actually have all those racks in my hand, just going on numbers), I should chime in. The Blackburn MTF fits perfectly on 700c Surly Long Haul Truckers and every single 1980s Cannondale touring bike I've tried it on. Three so far. The mid-fork eyelets on the SH appear to be intended for a Nitto Mini if the bike had cantilever brakes. I used to own a Rawland rSogn that had two sets of mid-fork eyelets, high and low, and the MTF didn't fit either of them, not by a long shot. Blackburn includes p-clamps with the rack, but that still doesn't guarantee it will sit level. Also, if the rack is mounted with p-clamps and you put any significant weight on it, the rack will wiggle. It's noticeable. My experience was that I could see it moving and also feel it, almost like a very low frequency speed wobble. I don't know that it was necessarily dangerous or bad, but it set off my OCD enough that I went looking for a better solution. This is it: http://thetouringstore.com/TUBUS/Fit%20Solutions/FIT%20SOLUTIONS%20PAGE.htm Item #4. The rack mounts on this kit sit pretty wide, but that actually works out well for fitting the rack. First, attach the rack at the lower fork drop-out eyelets. Next, assemble the fork mounting kit around the fork legs and attach them to the rack. Everything should be very, very loose. Rattly, even. Then use a toe-strap around the rack and the fork crown to slowly pull the rack vertical. When it's where you want it, tighten everything down and then remove the strap. Attached like this, or to mid-fork eyelets that actually fit it, the MTF has been a solid rack. I'm sure I've had at least the rated maximum weight on it more than once. -- Scott Loveless Camp Hill, PA USA http://www.twosixteen.com/fivetoedsloth/ __o _'\,_ (*)/ (*) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: V-Brakes and wide 700c tires w/fenders
Tom, Wow, that is quite encouraging. Also thinking of 60mm Berthound's with the wider tires, so your experience and the others leads us to think that we won't be too limited with the V brake constraint. I was too thinking of checking in with the folks in Chico about the Motolites. The arm length differences got me thinking, I trust there's a standard distance (range) for the studs to be placed from axel center depending on rim size, wonder if we can make sure they place the studs to ensure we can maximize the brake's tire clearance for 700c rims. Thanks, Owen On Thursday, March 7, 2013 12:25:42 AM UTC+7, Tom Harrop wrote: Hi Owen, I use Shimano V-brakes (107 mm arms), 700C Big Apples (57 mm actual width on my rims) and Berthoud 60 mm steel fenders. It works great, although it was necessary to put a dent in (or should I say cold set) the fenders to get the housing stop/quick-release thingy on the V-brakes to clear. With 50 mm 700C Marathon Supremes (around 46 mm on my rims, from memory) I had nice clearance on the fenders and no denting was necessary. I think Tektro V-brakes are available with longer arms, and I've heard that the arms on Paul Motolites are 114 mm but that measurement isn't given on their website (anyone got a set they can measure?). You would need to have the frame clearance and racks could get in the way. I intend to find out about the Motolites and consider switching at some point.

Re: [RBW] Re: V-Brakes and wide 700c tires w/fenders
Jim, Thanks for the info, others too! Seems like this V brake clearance thing is a non-issue so long as I get the right brake. The brake will be supplemental (stoker controlled) to the discs--just in case on those long descents with gear. I'm new to the disc thing so the extra insurance seemed prudent. Most of the time it won't even be on the bike, but when we decide to venture into terrain we feel may warrant it, just a 10-minuite add-on. We'll get a good taste straight away as we'll collect the bike a few miles from RBW HQ, so its going to see a bit of Mt. Diablo for a couple of weeks before it returns with us to Thailand. Since you mentioned it, if you or others have any mechanical disc suggestions beyond the Avid BB7 or Bengal caliper/Shimano Ice rotor combo, would love to hear them.

David, Congrats on the 650B AHH! I'll defer to the experts about the BB and cranks. I'll chime in, though, on the 8 speed cassette and old derailers: I'm running an 8 speed cassette with cool old Shimano Deer Head derailer. I was skeptical, but my friend from LBS said to go for it and, much to my surprise, it works great.

I am looking to work with my local LBS as well as people in the group. What's the difference between the Sugino XD600 and the XD2? Rivendell suggests using a 110mm bottom bracket with any of their bikes with the XD2 and information on the XD600 suggests a 113mm. Is the 113 suggestion a generic or safer (more clearance) one? Suggestions? I like the idea of using older derailleurs like Suntours or similar Shimanos for the aesthetic but want to run the triple crank and the 8 speed cassette. Will that work? I'm more than okay with friction shifting and might use some Suntour down tube shifters. Thanks in advance for the help.

Re: [RBW] Re: V-Brakes and wide 700c tires w/fenders
Whew! Optional stoker-controlled auxiliary brake seems like a decent idea. The BB7, especially the most recent version, is as good as it gets for mechanical discs. Hydraulic discs (I like Avid Code or Code R for heavy-duty applications) are awesome, but no elegant drop bar option yet.

OTOH, the 42 Noodles were useless on anything except firm surfaces, while the Midge is wide enough even at the hoods to offer considerable leverage and, in the hooks, gives all the control you need. My problems with the Midge are (1) the great width in the hooks and (2) how the slanted hooks make my very sensitive left palm suffer. This last may be helped with even more added padding. As to the first, I am wondering if I should lower the bar (currently ~2 cm above saddle) a cm or two and use the hooks, not the hoods, as the cruising position. But this means that, off road, the hooks will be hard to use on steep drop-offs where you need maximum grip and braking.

yep long fingered glove, unpadded for mtn. biking. If it's on the cool side I might even wear them on the road. If it's cold (under 40˚) I wear Pearl Izumi lobster gloves. I usually always wear some kind of glove, and none of them are padded. Short fingered, usually on the road.

In the event that I take a spill and have to abandon the bike, a glove is preferred over palm skin as a road contact surface. The main reason I wear them even when warm.

[RBW] Noob question of the week: what's the deal with chain suck?

I make no boasts about my own riding, none at all, in terms of distance, longevity, or rigor. but I can't think of more than a couple of times I've ever thrown a chain. What causes the chain suck? Over-shifting? (missing a gear or two or three) Shifting hard on a climb? Is this an issue that has gone away for those riding with indexed shifting, and so more of an issue with friction-shifters?

Re: [RBW] Noob question of the week: what's the deal with chain suck?
Not a dumb question at all. I just came across this: http://fagan.co.za/Bikes/Csuck/ Haven't read it, but it's a Sheldon referral, so likely to be good. (I plan to read it myself.) The general reason is that the chain does not disengage from the bottom of the inner chainring; thus the chain gets pulled up and (don't know the reason for *this part*) and also moves inward and jammed between ring and stay. But being pulled up on the bottom of the inner ring is one of the general conditions. __ BUSINESS BUILDING COME-ON!! $300 off a $600 resume + letter or Linked In profile package with referral that leads to full price sale!

[RBW] Ride around Victor CO, then long descent home
We've had some warm days (in the 40's and 50's), though we're due up to a foot of snow on Saturday (we dearly need it), so I took advantage and did a grand ride, with a great 2 mile section of sloppy, slushy, semi-frozen mud puddled fire road equivalent at the turn around point. Wondrous! I love having a bike that can do that, then handle the pavement winding descent at 45 mph, with equal aplomb. Delicious! All said, about 45 miles and a good chunk of time on first gear.

[RBW] Re: Noob question of the week: what's the deal with chain suck?
Tom: My experiences with chain suck have occurred when shifting between the middle inner chainring. When it happens, the chain is mostly on the inner ring BUT some of it has gotten sucked between the middle ring chainstay, resulting in paint removal at the least much tugging cursing at the worst. Jim has suggested specific conditions, and I concur with the technique issue. Mine almost always happen when faced with an unexpected need for granny over middle, such as rounding a corner seeing an oh crap grade change, and just flopping the shift lever hoping for the best. Wear, lubrication, maintenance, are also possible culprits but I'll lay most of my experiences to simply being clumsy. Covers a lot of other sins as well. There was a recent thread discussing chain ring spacing that got me to looking at my set-up there is visually more space between my middle inner than middle outer. I intend to pursue this question but getting around to actually measuring figuring out some spacers, etc., is a project for one of these days. The quick fix is a bottle of touch up paint. dougP On Thursday, March 7, 2013 6:32:14 PM UTC-8, Tom Goodmann wrote: So, my naive question this week is: why do so many frames bear the scars of chain suck?

[RBW] Re: Ride around Victor CO, then long descent home
Yes. That's the joy of neurological vertigo. It's a wild amusement park ride you can't get off. Sardonic grin. The proprioceptive system (the body knowing where it is based on input from the feet, among other sources) is amazing. If I were to wear regular shoes, I could not walk, run, or bike. But in leather soled moccasins or barefoot -- my body knows where it is and my brain has learned to give up trying to figure it out.

[RBW] Re: Does anyone have any experience with the Public bikes basket on a Nitto M-12 front rack?
I have rigged up a Public Basket to a Nitto front rack on my Boulder All-Road. Public's spring-loaded bottom clamp mechanism does not give a particularly secure mount in the first place, so I have always augmented it on other racks with a pair of nylon straps. In the case of the Nitto front rack, the rack is so narrow that the clamp is basically at the end of its travel, and it barely contacts the front of the rack where it has begun to taper. However, with the use of the two nylon straps (one front, one rear) it ends up being quite secure. For a bike that I ride every day, I want a front basket to hold my courier bag while I ride. When I lock up the bike I just grab the courier bag and go. Nothing stays on the bike except the basket itself - I carry my tool kit, extra layers, iPad, etc in the bag. However, I LOVE being able to take the basket off in a matter of seconds and mount a randonneur bag in its place for recreational rides where I don't need to carry as much. Plus the Public basket is sized between the small and large Walds sold by Rivendell, and is about perfect for carrying my courier bag. I took photos but have no idea how to embed them. Sigh.

[RBW] FS: 61cm AHH F/F/HS/BB price drop
Hey Group, Up for sale is a used 61cm AHH F/F/HS/BB. Its Toyo built, if that means anything. Repainted Butterscotch. Its 'creamier' in life than in the photos. definitely used, never abused. It has some paint chips here an there that i covered with nail polish. Some chainsuck chips and a little wear on the inside left chainstay from tire rub I guess. I sometimes squeezed 42s, so that is my only guess. There is also some shellac residue on the headtube and a little on the DT and TT. Headset is FSA almost brand new, oldish BB but still is smooth.Asking $1000+ shipping, which is now way less than half of the newly priced AHHframes which would be roughly $2500 including tax. thanks -Mike http://www.flickr.com/photos/**9**2673144@N02/http://www.flickr.com/photos/92673144@N02/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
