[RBW] Re: About to start experimenting with centerpulls
@ Andrew: You have to bend the tang over the calipers of the R559 sidepull brake arms when you are using R559's and fenders on a Bleriot with 42mm tires - almost absolutely no clearance left between the fender and sidepull brakes arms to run the tang. And because you cannot get the fender close enough to the hole under the fork crown, you can't run a daruma to accept the tang and fenders anyway. That's why I am liking the idea of canti brakes, so that nothing is in the way between tire/fender/fork crown and you would not need to buy a rack with a flat tang anyway, but a rack with a regular tube rod that runs through the hole in fork crown, to then attach the fender to. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] About to start experimenting with centerpulls
Ernest Csuka of Cycles Alex Singer always said that no adjustment should be at the end of the range. Good bikes and good components are designed so that you don't need to push things to the very edge. In Rivendell's early days, this wasn't the case, since only short-reach brakes were commonly available, so Grant spec'd the clearances so the brakes were at the bottom of the slot, so you could fit the widest possible tires. All was fine until Toyo got it half a millimeter off on some Rambouillets, and you had to file the slots of the brake to stop the pads from hitting the tires... I am glad that we now have better components and no longer need to take these risks. The Compass brakes are designed to provide optimum clearances with 42 mm tires and the pads 2/3 of the way down the slot. Moving the braze-ons higher (and the pads lower in the slots) would increase the clearance, but if you use our rack, it would move the fender mount too high. The brakes open far enough for 42 mm tires as designed, so there is no need to push them any further. Our custom pad holders are short enough to clear the seatstays/fork blades, so the brake can open wide. Most modern pads hit the stays/blades, which limits how wide the brake can open. If you use narrower tires (say 38 mm), then it makes sense to move the pivots down a bit, so the rack sits at the right level above the tires again. We intend the pads always to be in the middle third of the adjustment range, so that you have some wiggle room.

Our custom pad holders are short enough to clear the seatstays/fork blades, so the brake can open wide. Most modern pads hit the stays/blades, which limits how wide the brake can open. I sure hope that Compass makes those brake holders available separately. They appear to be another real upgrade from stock MAFAC hardware. That's the only piece that doesn't appear to be available separately. Hopefully that's just a temporary condition. People who buy that $125 hardware upgrade kit for their MAFAC Racers will probably want those nicer pad holders. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Daring to wrench on my Riv's?
Purchase the right tools and buy yourself a workstand, if you don't already have one. My workstand was the best investment I ever made. Buy the tools over time as you need them, it lightens the load on your finances. My workstand and assorted Campy tools are 30 years old and are still going strong. I do all my own repairs and installs. The only thing I don't do is build wheels, I leave that for people that have much more skill than I and a lot more patience. Though, I did buy the Park 2.1 truing stand just in case I ever want to start. I work on my bikes for many reasons but mostly I do it because I can't fathom the idea of paying someone to do a job that I can do easily. Nothing on a bicycle is that difficult. I can do the job right away, instead of leaving my bike for x number of days at the shop. Plus it is rewarding when you do something yourself. I find working on my bike, very relaxing and just plain fun. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Daring to wrench on my Riv's?
Just start doing it! Almost everything on a bicycle is about tension, one way or another. For the guys that haven't tackled truing, I encourage you do do so, spend 18 bucks and get a red, black and green wrench right out of the gate so you can do other bikes without question. Once you figure out truing, you'll realize that it's easier to true a wheel than it is to get your handlebars straight! I like using quality tools, park, campy, or other non bike specific hand tools. One the iBob list, there was a long discussion about work stands. I love my WrenchForce (old Trek brand) stand and think it's a better design than the park stuff. It looks like Feedback sports picked up where Trek left off: http://feedbacksports.com/shop/default.aspx Very good design IMO. I agree that youtube would be a good place to check on how to perform different tasks on your bike. One thing that I've described many times over the years and I've seen a lot of people have A Ha moments is adjusting the derailleurs. The screws are simply limit screws for how high or low the derailleur will travel. If your derailleur goes in to the highest and lowest gear you're good and these screws rarely ever need adjustment if you aren't changing parts on your bike or making adjustments to you bottom bracket spindle adjustment, like you can with a Phil BB. Anyhow, a quick tutorial on derailleurs. Drop it all the way down in the back to the smallest gear, shift up one (I'm making the assumption it's indexed shifting but the concept is the same with friction) and see how it shift. Does it shift quickly, does it not go at all? Then shift back down and see how it shifts in comparison to going up. If it fell down in to the smaller gear easier than it climbed up one gear, there isn't enough tension on the rear derailleur cable. So, give a quarter turn on the rear derailleurs barrel adjusted OUT to increase the tension. Then go through the process again. I like to do this mostly in the middle of the cassette and then check across them all and you're good to go!

[RBW] Re: Daring to wrench on my Riv's?
I really like Zinn's repair manuals ... here's a link to the Road Bike one *http://tinyurl.com/mnskwkl*. A bike work stand is very helpful, but hanging a bike from the ceiling with two ropes works well, and is quite economical. Zinn provides good advice on tools too. Although some tools are bicycle specific, many are not. Harbor Freight has very affordable tools, and many of their hand tools work quite well. My $0.02, get a copy of Zinn's book, some rope, and whatever tools you need. Have a go at it.

My Hunq's stand-over height is the lowest of my 8 bikes including my 64cm Gunnar Roadie which also has a sloping TT. The reach on the Hunq is actually closer than my other bikes (Waterford RS-22) despite the longer top tube length due to the higher bar position. The reach is longer on my 63.5cm Steve Rex, 63.5cm Map Randonneur Project bike, and 64cm Gunnar Roadie plus 3 other Rivendells My other Riv'endells all have higher SO heights with longer reaches due to their specific setups. My 64cm Roadeo (yes 64cm - its a one off model I rode on PBP in 2011) has a 60cm top tube, while my 63cm Protovelo has a 60.5 cm top tube, and my 65cm Hilsen has a 62cm top tube. The variance in these top tube lengths is somewhat meaningless since the head tube angles are different on all of the bikes mentioned. My Roadeo has a 73 degree Head tube angle (same as my, Map, Rex, and Waterford which all have similar TT lengths. My Gunnar has the shortest wheelbase and steepest HT angle at 73.5 degrees. It has a 60cm TT length but longer reach due to the saddle to bar position setup for the Oakland Port Ride. On Dec 6, 2014, at 6:38 PM, Geoffrey wrote: Keith, do you mind me asking how tall you are?

[RBW] Re: 56 Atlantis Shakedown Ride
The Atlantis looks fantastic, I love the fat tires and the stem shifters actually make me somewhat intrigued to try them out myself. Great looking bike, nice pictures too! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

I posted this over to the Bob list, as I always post there, seldom post here but lurk this list these days. Thought I would pass this on to all of you as well, As some of you know, I have a website/youtube channel on how to take care of the motor that pedals your bike. I have a new book out, The Howtostretch Handbook, and it's free! Can't beat the price, you can download the PDF here http://www.payloadz.com/d1/?id=2792724 If that does not work, try http://www.payloadz.com/d1/?id=2792724 Oh, it's not only for I bobs/RBW folks, tell anybody you want about it. It is basically a guide on how to start stretching, about pain, how to correct imbalances in your body, with links to my videos to show the reader how. Enjoy!
