Not a commuted per se...I like panniers for off road adventures and a bit 
of single track from time to time and low riders don't work for me. Low 
hanging fruit sort of thing. The bottom of my panniers rub against rocks 
and low shrub. For the time being I'm using the heavy weight Surly nice 
front rack until I decide on a custom rack. My .02

 My post isn't about the yet-to-be-released Rivendell/Nitto HAR, but about 
 front low-rider racks in general. This is essentially a PSA.

 Now, I know that having a single-sided pannier isn't what the cool kids 
 do; but I like my single Ortlieb Office Bag for general commuting (laptop, 
 clothes, files, plus, plus) and I like my single Ortlieb Front Roller for 
 fast commuting (laptop and some files only). I have no need for a 
 left-right set of panniers and in fact split my Ortlieb Front Roller set 
 with a like-minded friend.

 So what has this got to do with the HAR or low-riders in general? Simply 
 put, any pannier that's carried single-sided on a front low-rider setup 
 will result in unreasonable degraded steering. This unreasonable 
 degradation does not happen with rear-mounted single-sided pannier.

 So be forewarned! If you like them low-riders and want to get them, know 
 that you need to balance them left-right or your neck will be sore from 
 trying to man-handle the handlebar straight. And don't even think about 
 riding no-hands.

[RBW] Re: Atlantis s24p shakedown ride

2014-06-17 Thread Takashi

Looks like an awesome adventure. Makes me want to go for S24O.
Yes, the dirty Atlantis looks very cool!

I think that the front rack you have is designed to be mounted on the lower 
eyelet of the front fork-end.
They are designed for 700C bikes, and most 700C bikes have only one eyelet 
for each front fork-end.
I have a same rack, and I first mounted it on higher eyelet like you do, 
and then moved it to lower eyelet.
It looked like a small change, but I could handle the bike lot better.

Takashi


2014年6月17日火曜日 0時00分50秒 UTC+9 Mark Reimer:

 Over a wet, dreary, mosquito infested weekend, I went on a quick s24o 
 shakedown ride on the atlantis.

 For those with a keen eye, you might recognize this ride. It is the same 
 ride I went on in the last issue of Bunyan Velo, however it was -25C and 
 covered in snow then.

 Overall comments about the ride:
 - The Atlantis is a fantastic bike for trail riding. It transitioned 
 seamlessly from pavement, to gravel, to wet mud and rootish trails. There 
 was nothing I couldn't ride over with confidence. I was particularly 
 impressed with how it handled the single track, given its inclination to 
 ride in a straight line.
 - The Bruce Gordon tires without fenders ruled the day. Manitoba has very 
 sticky gumbo mud. I had ample clearance with the tires and was able to ride 
 everything. One guy had 38's and fenders and was constantly stopping to 
 clean his jammed fenders out. I'll still put fenders on, but for wet 
 conditions, this was great.
 - Indexed 10 spd barcons wrapped under the tape is working perfectly, 
 thankfully.
 - White Industries VBC plays nicely with 10-speed, contrary to reported 
 experiences from others, so that's nice.
 - Holy moly is this ever a heavy bike hah! Not complaining, just 
 observing. When I jumped on my cross bike the next day I felt like I was on 
 a rocket ship. An uncomfortable rocket ship. 
 - The Atlantis looks definitively more awesome the dirtier it gets. 

 I uploaded a number of photos to Flickr (with a new Nikon Df, a riv-ish 
 Dslr if there ever was one), feel free to check 'em out.

 to pictures, since I always forget
 https://www.flickr.com/photos/67889635@N06/?deleted=14459851903

 First off is the project of my wifes bane since it sits in the room
 next to my side of the bed. Raleigh International road frame set. 1973.
 Capella Lugs. 160mm head tube. 120mm rear spacing. 56.5cm c-c top tube.
 59cm c-t and 58cm c-c seat tube. Campagnolo dropouts. Reynolds 531 tubing.
 27.2mm seat post. Truly a beautiful frameset. All threads are 100%
 functional and English of course. Shows some sign of usage. There are 2
 small dings that can be seen in the pictures. Pictures shows a tiny ding
 in-between the a and t in international and there is another small one 
 on
 the top of the TT. Again, they are tiny but they are there. FS $275
 OBO shipped continental US. Here is the list of other items.

 Nitto Tallux-12cm some signs of usage $45 shipped

 Carradice Pendle-Like New, no usage to speak of, it was lost in the
 mail for months! Patch included but not Irish strap--$90

 Paul Neo Retro in black, Kool stop pads not included, I have some
 standard tektros I will put on, just the brakes $90 for the pair or $50 
 per
 wheel to cover shipping. OBO if I am high here.

 Quickbeam wheelset-Suzue quick-release
 hubs, 32 spokes. The rims are Araya with ferrules. Rear is threaded
 for freewheel
 on both sides. They are still in the box they were shipped to me in
 for a project that didn't pan out so no pictures but were bought from
 fellow lister who I trust, no tires-$150 Shipped.

 Nitto Bosco Bullmoose Bars, great shape come with cork non-barend
 grips and shimano shifter levers installed. I took them out of the box but
 never mounted, they again for another project that didn't happen, I see a
 trend. Selling for what I paid $120 OBO.

 And finally I have had these for a bit but no project in the near
 future. Hot pink set of Jagwire ripcord Pro full set of brake and shifter
 cables/wires. New in box, I want to see these on a bike here on the list, 
 I
 think they would really set off an 80s MTB build. $40 shipped.

 I have these and a few more things on my flikr stream, if any of these
 offers seem out of line I am bit flexible but I think I priced it to sell.
 Again all items are paypal, shipping included but only to lower 48. 
 Thanks!

 Also, if anyone is interested in a 1986 23cm Bianchi Grizzly in rare
 metallic purple all original, came to me one owner ridden very little. Was
 gonna do a whole upgrade but its so original with the bullmoose bars, and
 nice suntour mountech shifters and thumbies that shift nice. Huge
 motorcycle grips bake it look boss! I am gonna pass this project as well 
 on
 to someone else. I paid 150, gave it a tune up and some new Michelin city
 tires with protek, rides nice. Looking for $160 just to make up some of 
 the
 cost of the tires, the ones it came with were dry rotted. This is only for
 local pickup in the NYS tristate area. Thanks again.

 these offers seem out of line I am bit flexible but I think I priced it 
 to
 sell. Again all items are paypal, shipping included but only to lower 48.
 Thanks!

 Also, if anyone is interested in a 1986 23cm Bianchi Grizzly in rare
 metallic purple all original, came to me one owner ridden very little. 
 Was
 gonna do a whole upgrade but its so original with the bullmoose bars, and
 nice suntour mountech shifters and thumbies that shift nice. Huge
 motorcycle grips bake it look boss! I am gonna pass this project as well 
 on
 to someone else. I paid 150, gave it a tune up and some new Michelin city
 tires with protek, rides nice. Looking for $160 just to make up some of 
 the
 cost of the tires, the ones it came with were dry rotted. This is only 
 for
 local pickup in the NYS tristate area. Thanks again.

 Peter

Re: [RBW] Re: Pics of your Riv with a wild animal...

2014-06-17 Thread Jim Bronson

I saw a bobcat while riding my Rivendell last week in the country about 8
miles east of my house, but it quickly scurried into the shadows before I
could get my phone out to take a picture.  I was probably too far away
anyway to get any sort of detail with a smartphone camera.  Nevertheless,
it was pretty neat to see.

I saw a similar but smaller bobcat about a year ago on the same road about
1.5-2 miles away from the spot I saw one at last week.  If it's the same
cat, he or she is doing well, good to see.  There is a pond in the general
area so I'm sure it's a fairly rich feeding area for the cat and any other
non-domestic cats in the area.

 Would love to see if anyone snapped a pic showing their Rivendell with a

 I thought it would make for an interesting thread.

 I got a deer today. Not so wild, but wild. iPhone did okay. But wish I
 had my camera. Gotta start taking it on rides.
 The deer stood there as I passed him, and stayed as I fumbled around
 getting the phone outta my bag. Started leaving as I got the pics taken. A
 baby deer walked by after.

[RBW] Wildflower Ramble!

My first big ride since I broke my rib in mid-May. Felt good, though I felt it 
on the longer climbs at the end of the ride.

Underbiked with Barlow Pass tires -- as in the lower end of under biking. Next 
time I'll swap to MSO's for better traction on this steep loose stuff. Barlows 
are great, but not for roads that are loose gravel, slope steeply sideways, and 
are steep climbs or descents.

Single speeding for 7 hours is fantastic! I returned well tuckered.

Wildflowers are in full swing and showing off all their glory. Plenty of rain 
of late so they are green and brilliant and abundant in the Haymen burn area 
where they make one big rolling meadow over hill and dale amidst the tombstone 
trees. No idea how far this ride is, as I only measure by time.

 link to pictures, since I always forget
 https://www.flickr.com/photos/67889635@N06/?deleted=14459851903

 First off is the project of my wifes bane since it sits in the room
 next to my side of the bed. Raleigh International road frame set. 1973.
 Capella Lugs. 160mm head tube. 120mm rear spacing. 56.5cm c-c top tube.
 59cm c-t and 58cm c-c seat tube. Campagnolo dropouts. Reynolds 531 
 tubing.
 27.2mm seat post. Truly a beautiful frameset. All threads are 100%
 functional and English of course. Shows some sign of usage. There are 2
 small dings that can be seen in the pictures. Pictures shows a tiny ding
 in-between the a and t in international and there is another small 
 one on
 the top of the TT. Again, they are tiny but they are there. FS $275
 OBO shipped continental US. Here is the list of other items.

 Nitto Tallux-12cm some signs of usage $45 shipped

 Carradice Pendle-Like New, no usage to speak of, it was lost in the
 mail for months! Patch included but not Irish strap--$90

 Paul Neo Retro in black, Kool stop pads not included, I have some
 standard tektros I will put on, just the brakes $90 for the pair or $50 
 per
 wheel to cover shipping. OBO if I am high here.

 Quickbeam wheelset-Suzue quick-release
 hubs, 32 spokes. The rims are Araya with ferrules. Rear is threaded
 for freewheel
 on both sides. They are still in the box they were shipped to me in
 for a project that didn't pan out so no pictures but were bought from
 fellow lister who I trust, no tires-$150 Shipped.

 Nitto Bosco Bullmoose Bars, great shape come with cork non-barend
 grips and shimano shifter levers installed. I took them out of the box 
 but
 never mounted, they again for another project that didn't happen, I see 
 a
 trend. Selling for what I paid $120 OBO.

 And finally I have had these for a bit but no project in the near
 future. Hot pink set of Jagwire ripcord Pro full set of brake and 
 shifter
 cables/wires. New in box, I want to see these on a bike here on the 
 list, I
 think they would really set off an 80s MTB build. $40 shipped.

 I have these and a few more things on my flikr stream, if any of
 these offers seem out of line I am bit flexible but I think I priced it 
 to
 sell. Again all items are paypal, shipping included but only to lower 
 48.
 Thanks!

 Also, if anyone is interested in a 1986 23cm Bianchi Grizzly in rare
 metallic purple all original, came to me one owner ridden very little. 
 Was
 gonna do a whole upgrade but its so original with the bullmoose bars, 
 and
 nice suntour mountech shifters and thumbies that shift nice. Huge
 motorcycle grips bake it look boss! I am gonna pass this project as 
 well on
 to someone else. I paid 150, gave it a tune up and some new Michelin 
 city
 tires with protek, rides nice. Looking for $160 just to make up some of 
 the
 cost of the tires, the ones it came with were dry rotted. This is only 
 for
 local pickup in the NYS tristate area. Thanks again.

I am so relieved to hear that, Ron! Whew. Had I gone with white cotton 
handlebar tape, that would have been foppish (at least till it turned grey 
3 1/2 minutes later). Grin. My wife couldn't believe I'd gone with the 
white, until she saw it. Then she forbade me from going with anything but 
white with the silver ever. Grin.

mark, 

Glad you're enjoying your atlantis. Nice to get feedback as I'm about to 
adventure with my old new to me Atlantis. 

https://flic.kr/p/nHnVzg

What rear rack are you running with the Camper long flap?  It looks like my bag 
man rack but larger.

The S240 looks awesome.

[RBW] 8-speed Bleriot build question. MTB or Road derailers?

MTB derailers or Road derailers.

What's the diff, if anything?

I know RBW seems to like MTB derailers for all their current build 
kits (Deore).

Any benefits to Road 8-speed derailers over MTB?

I am under the assumption that any 8-speed Road parts are going to have to 
be NOS or used, because looks like 8-speed derailers don't exist anymore in 
current production offerings as of 2014?

2014-06-17 Thread sameness

Most mountain rears handle 32+, and most mountain fronts handle triples. 

It's not to say that you can't find a road RD that will comfortably shift 
to 32, or use a road double FD to shift a triple (I've been doing so for 10 
years).

It's just the difference between Try it and see and This will definitely 
work.

[RBW] Re: Wildflower Ramble!

Michael, they are VO's Sabot. They are great pedals. I've VP Vice on my 
Hunqapillar. With the extra pressure of single speed, my bare feet were 
getting sore. I may get a bit more milage with the Sabots before my feet 
are tender enough they need my shoes on, but I would but them as equal to 
the VP Vice in all other aspects. Both are excellent pedals.

[RBW] Re: 8-speed Bleriot build question. MTB or Road derailers?

2014-06-17 Thread franklyn

Even up to the current generation, Shimano road rear derailleurs is not 
speed-specific. So Shimano 105 5701 derailleur, which is part of the 
company's 10-speed group, can be used for 8-, or 9-speed drivetrain also. I 
have a 5703 derailleur on my bike and it's spec'ed to accommodate 32T large 
cog and 39T for capacity. It's also lighter than a Deore LX derailleur.

[RBW] Re: 8-speed Bleriot build question. MTB or Road derailers?

2014-06-17 Thread dougP

Derailers intended for MTB have longer cages to accommodate wider gearing 
and are designed to track the angle of a cogset with at least a 30 tooth 
big cog.  Road derailers are usually rated to 28 or fewer teeth but this 
can often be cheated by a few teeth.  The cage will likely be shorter since 
overall gearing is not as wide.  

The reality is there is enough variability in stuff that surprising 
combinations of components may work just fine.  Don't worry about locating 
an 8 speed specific derailer.  One marked 9 speed will also work, and 
probably some 7 speeds as well.  

Your selection should take into account your maximum cog size.  If you're 
max cog is 30+, life will be easier with MTB stuff.  Certainly as you get 
up to 34 and 36 tooth cogs, a road RD could be problematic (although I've 
seen a short cage Ultegra shift an 11-34 9 speed).  If I were buying stuff, 
I'd go with the MTB parts for versatility.  If I had something in the parts 
bin, I'd try it first.

[RBW] Re: 8-speed Bleriot build question. MTB or Road derailers?

Very interesting info. And specific info. Just what I was wondering.

I like a 12-32t, 28-36-46 setup. I live in rolling terrain that gets hilly the 
further west I go. The granny gear makes me confident that I'll never have to 
turn down a ride for lack of gearing.

I forgot to mention that I am thinking of doing it as a friction shifting 
build, which opens me up to any derailer that can handle a 32T rear cog.
So I guess a Shimano CX70 up front, and that Shimano rear derailer mentioned 
above would work.

I wonder how much weight savings they would be over Deore stuff. Not that it 
would matter, but no use adding more weight to drag up hills onto the bike.

Of course, losing 25 lbs off the engine should be more of a concern in matters 
like this!!
