 You get the point 

 As for blue, I've used it successfully for slipping seatposts and 
 seatpost cradles -- so it takes quite a bit of torque.

[RBW] Re: Sams versatility

Sam can do it all, and would be the least expensive choice.  A Hilsen would 
be fancier, but functionally the same as the Sam.   The Atlantis and the 
Hunq would also be great, too, especially if you were always going to do 
lots of loaded mileage or tons of non-technical singletrack.  

I have a Bomba, and it's my 'do anything' bike;  but before I got it, I 
would even ride the Virginia Creeper Trail on my Rambouillet. Now, my Ram 
has been relegated to more randoish rides, and I've got a canti-Rom (very 
similar frame to the Ram, but one of the ones with cantilevers instead);  
since I've gotten the canti-Rom, I've ended up using it for most of my 
trailish rides, since I've gone to the 40 MSOs on it.   

Any Riv can handle any of that riding, but, the Sam is an excellent 
starting point for consideration...

 I own a 200K RUSA permanent that goes from Austin to Lincoln, TX, route 
 2531 

 http://www.rusa.org./cgi-bin/permview_GF.pl?permid=2531 

 The first time I rode this with a few friends, there was quite a bit 
 more dirt than we were expecting on the stretch between McDade, TX and 
 Lincoln, TX.  A 32-38mm slick was not really ideal equipment for 
 riding this stretch.  I had one friend riding 700x32mm Grand Bois, one 
 running 700x32mm Stampede Pass and me running 650x38mm LoupLoups. 

 There was quite a bit of sand and soft dirt, along with some gravel 
 and some paved stretches.  Our back tires kept sliding sideways when 
 we were trying to ride through the soft dirt and sand, and we would 
 have to correct.  Thankfully none of us went down, but a couple of 
 times it was close.  It was worse for my friends on the 32s than for 
 me but it still felt real squirrely on the wider tires. 

 What I really want for this ride is something that rolls good on 
 pavement but has some tread to it in order to prevent the rear end 
 slide-outs on soft dirt and sand.  But not so much tread that it digs 
 itself into soft surfaces. 

 The Soma Cazadero would be about perfect I think. 
 http://www.somafab.com/archives/product/cazadero-tires-700c650b-x-42mm 

 BUT...my Redwood has 700C wheels and will not fit 700x42.  It would 
 fit 650Bx42 but I have not converted it at this time. 

 I think 700Cx38 would probably fit if I removed the fenders, which I 
 would probably want to do anyway as to not get mud stuck up in them. 

 Any suggestions?  Must roll good on pavement as well.

The midge bars are great with bar-end shifters. You just need to be careful 
since the bars have so much flare - they tend to bump into things. But the 
shifters give a little extra room for your hands in the drops.

[RBW] Re: Wald Basket Mod

Edwin

Yes, when I finished installing the finders, basket, etc, I decided there 
was still a chance for upspray from my tire onto the underside of my basket 
cargo and also onto the front dynamo headlamp.  

I've used heavy plastic film for a couple DIY projects and I have a stack 
of that material.  I've acquired this heavy plastic film in three ways:

1.  I bought a sheet at TAP plastics
2.  I've deconstructed file folder products from the Office Supply store 
(generally upcycled items discarded at my office)
3.  The Elfa brand shelving that I've run in several closets in my home 
came with plastic shelf liners.  I've decided not to line every shelf I 
installed, but kept the extras for future projects

I took one sheet of my stockpile material and made a little rack topper. 
 This augments the fender and protects everything that is on top of the 
rack from spray.  Here's another photo of that SPLASHGUARD 
https://www.flickr.com/photos/45758191@N04/15432172994/ with a caption 
describing it.

[RBW] Re: Anyone doing the EBDJ Wednesday Challenge?

I've gone nearly a month now on the EBDJ diet regimen. No big cravings, no 
problems. But I do find it difficult to actually ingest 2,500 calories per 
day--especially if all I have for breakfast is coffee with butter and/or 
coconut oil in it. Yes, I know I could load up on cheese and avocado and 
Greek yogurt and yet more coconut oil, but dang. No wonder people lose 
weigh on this diet! :)  But seriously, if you-all have suggestions and/or 
recipes for easy low-carb meals, please post them. Here's one of mine. 

1 lb. grass-fed hamburger
1 onion, chopped
5 cloves garlic, chopped
1 bunch of spinach, roughly chopped (or one package of frozen spinach)
7 eggs, lightly beaten
seasoning (salt, pepper, hot sauce . . . )

Thoroughly brown the burger in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a 
generous pinch of salt as you cook it. Set burger aside. Add onion and 
garlic to pan and cook, stirring occasionally, for about two or three 
minutes to soften. Turn heat to medium, put the hamburger back in the pan, 
and then add the spinach. (If the spinach is frozen, thaw it and drain it 
in a sieve--press the water out of it--before adding it to the pan.) Cook 
the burger/onion/spinach mixture for about one or two minutes, with the lid 
on the pan, until the spinach is slightly wilted and warmed through. Add a 
few dashes of hot sauce to the eggs and then pour the eggs into the pan. 
Stir gently and sporadically until the eggs are incorporated and cooked 
through. Season as you wish. Serve. This dish is called Joe's Special or 
Joe's Scramble. It looks like a mess but it tastes good. Substitute kale or 
chard for spinach and that works, too.

Evan, shift your thinking about a meal centering around the protein to 
thinking about the meal being surrounded by fat. Cream. Bacon. Tallow. 
Butter. For your burger, for example, buy it 85% lean, and include all the 
fat. Fat is not a waste to be chucked. It's the goodness to be consumed.

[RBW] Re: Towards a new category: high performance upright

2015-01-28 Thread 'Chris Lampe 2' via RBW Owners Bunch

I've always considered this to be a better bike than a road bike or a
mountain bike for most people. My first adult bike was a 1995 Trek
Multitrack but I had it set in a way that meets your definition. Right
now, I'm riding a larger size version of that same bike. My newest bike
that I will probably transition back to riding more also meets the
criteria. It's based on a Handsome Devil frameset.

Hey RBW-folk,

Doing some updates on my venerable B'stone RB-1 and in need of a new or 
excellent condition 8 cm Nitto Tallux or, perhaps, Technomic Deluxe stem. 
Thought I'd check the here before ordering a new one. 

Note, I'm looking for something Nitto labels as an 8cm stem, so it'll 
measure 8.5-ish cm center-to-center along the extension.

Cheers and safe riding,

 Hey RBW-folk,

 Doing some updates on my venerable B'stone RB-1 and in need of a new or

 Thought I'd check the here before ordering a new one.

 Note, I'm looking for something Nitto labels as an 8cm stem, so it'll
 measure 8.5-ish cm center-to-center along the extension.

 Cheers and safe riding,

[RBW] Re: Upright bar build question - shellacked cloth tape to match cork grips

2015-01-28 Thread Surlyprof

I followed the Riv video for trimming with twine and it worked 
beautifully.  The way they make the end disappear is slick.  I bought two 
rolls of it and barely put a dent in one roll.  We now keep one roll in the 
kitchen and one in the garage.  It's great for other things like tying back 
the legs on a Thanksgiving turkey!

 Note that, I'm not planning to shellac the grips themselves because of

 She didn't like the shellac on the grips. 

 Anyway, what color tape should I start with before the shellac? 
 White, beige, or something else? 

 Also, since I'm on the subject of the build on my wifey's new to her

 What adhesive did you use for the cork grips?  Rivendell mentions 
 Gorilla Grip and some sort of Permatex automotive RTV Form a Gasket 
 1A sealant as seen in the video: 

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VaUlzsDDvkx-yt-ts=1422411861x-yt-cl=84924572
  
 I would probably make my decision based on just what was most cost 
 effective.  Seems like if that form of Permatex worked, that any kind 
 of Permatex RTV might work.  (I used to have lots of RTV around back 
 in the day when I had a Honda that required valve adjustment every 
 15K, the gasket would leak on reinstallation unless you put a drop of 
 RTV in the corners.  But I think that stuff is long since dried up). 
 What about painters' caulk?  I have like 8 tubes of that sitting 
 around.  Bought too much when I painted the outside of my house. 

 Where's the best place to buy the twine as depicted in Riv's videos? 
 I didn't see it on their site. 

 Any metal fender installation tips?

weight loss so getting my calories 'up' isn't a goal for me right now. I 
think I'm pretty consistant around 1500 calories a day right now,definitely 
under 2000.  But I'm more full from the fat filled meals than I would have 
expected.  I think any diet where I religiously take my healthy lunch to 
work and avoid sweets and processed foods like I am right now would be an 
improvement over my normal habits but the fact that I'm only 'hungry' and 
not 'ravenous' between meals on this program is pretty great.

 Yes, when I finished installing the finders, basket, etc, I decided there 
 was still a chance for upspray from my tire onto the underside of my basket 
 cargo and also onto the front dynamo headlamp.  

 I've used heavy plastic film for a couple DIY projects and I have a stack 
 of that material.  I've acquired this heavy plastic film in three ways:

 1.  I bought a sheet at TAP plastics
 2.  I've deconstructed file folder products from the Office Supply store 
 (generally upcycled items discarded at my office)
 3.  The Elfa brand shelving that I've run in several closets in my home 
 came with plastic shelf liners.  I've decided not to line every shelf I 
 installed, but kept the extras for future projects

 I took one sheet of my stockpile material and made a little rack topper. 
  This augments the fender and protects everything that is on top of the 
 rack from spray.  Here's another photo of that SPLASHGUARD

[RBW] Re: Towards a new category: high performance upright

2015-01-28 Thread Kieran J

I'm also on board with this perspective.

Personally, I think I was hung up on drop bars, thinking that they were the
apparent default road bars because it had been determined they were
versatile, comfortable and just the best for serious cycling. I assumed
that I just needed to dial things in to reach a level of comfort and
natural control of the bike. That never really happened and I'm now
wondering if I'm just best off with what feels best, and honestly admit
that is usually Albas or some kind of swept-back city bars with
mountain-type brake levers.

I recently built up a new Rambouillet with Albas and it may very well stay
that way. BUT BUT - it's a ROAD BIKE! You can't do that! But really, if it
feels right, why not?

[RBW] FS: Compass Cycles tires 700 x 28 Chinook Pass/ tan walls- pair (2)

2015-01-28 Thread Rod C

Selling a pair of Compass Cycles tires.  These are the Japanese tires 
designed by Jan Heine of Bicycle Quarterly.
They are great smooth rolling tires.  I have one tire used for about 300 
miles.  The other is brand new and unused.
I am selling them because I tried to smooth out the ride on an aluminum 
bike and only one tire would fit on the rear wheel.
Not enough clearance at the fork for both.

I ended up selling the bike so the tires are not in use.  

Anyhow, I will try to get some photos later.  They are the Chinook Pass 
models with tanwalls.  These are the extralight model.  700 x 28.
Link to more info about these 
tires.http://www.compasscycle.com/tires_comp_700_28.html

$90 for the pair includes free shipping to the lower 48 states.

Thanks.

[RBW] Re: Anyone doing the EBDJ Wednesday Challenge?

2015-01-28 Thread Clayton.sf

Just adding my experiences to this.

Been doing the eating part since mid October 2014.
Added kettlebell and convict conditioning in November 2014.

To date I dropped 23 pounds and am able to do more sit-ups, pull-ups, push-ups, 
and squats than ever before. Blood pressure, blood work, etc. was deemed 
really good by any standard by the doctor earlier this month (not that I was 
ever told it was bad, but it was still nice to hear).

Mid November I went for one of my standard rides and felt like crap logging 
some of my worst times ever. Early January I did the same ride again and broke 
almost every personal record feeling great. In addition instead of my usual 
hammer bar an hour I was fine riding on half a banana for 4 hours. We will see 
how 12+ hour rides go, but so far so good. It does take time to adapt but for 
me it has been totally worth it at least so far.

In terms of calories I don't worry much. I eat when hungry, drink when thirsty. 

Dinner was bacon with Brussel sprouts, onions, and egg. The kids had seconds 
and asked if we could have this again tomorrow.

Best,
Clayton, SF

[RBW] Re: Upright bar build question - shellacked cloth tape to match cork grips

2015-01-28 Thread Ryan Christbaum

Jim,

This is a photo https://www.flickr.com/photos/smudgemo/14976685554/ of my 
drop bars wrapped in Yellow tape and coated in a garnet shellac.  The tops 
got darker over time and I personally think they look very nice.  This is a 
photo 
https://www.flickr.com/photos/smudgemo/6900246567/in/set-72157627356608413 
of my wife's shellac'd cork grips, and I probably used a dark shellac like 
garnet on them, too.  Even a dark shellac doesn't color the surface as much 
as you might expect.  I also disagree with Meisha.  If you don't coat them 
with some sort of sealer, they'll look dirty quickly.  Nothing wrong with 
it if you like the look, but it's not my thing.  If you do shellac them, 
they may feel tacky when it's warm and you're sweating, but I never 
regretted cork/shellac.  Liquid nails is plenty strong enough to hold them 
in place, and you will find plenty of other uses for it as a glue.

I bought a bunch of different colors of shellac from shellac.net once upon 
a time - I think it might have been a sampler pack.  You mix only what you 
need (and experiment with mixing colors) and a whole can of store-bought 
won't go to waste since you really only use very little for a bike even if 
you do bar tape, the hemp ends, and hemp chain stay protection.  I like 
shellac a lot.  Keep the rest in a glass jar and reapply whenever you get 
the urge.  Now that I think of it, my wife's cork grips are beat up on the 
ends and could use a touch-up...

-Ryan

I've put a lot of miles on the 37mm New Xpress tires, which do fine by me 
on firm dirt and packed gravel. I imagine the Paselas would feel pretty 
similar. The thicker tread seems to do better on rocks than the 35c Pasela

[RBW] Re: Anyone doing the EBDJ Wednesday Challenge?

Deacon: I've only counted calories for one day. Here's what I discovered:

BREAKFAST: 3 eggs cooked in one heaping tablespoon of butter, plus coffee 
with one tablespoon of coconut oil. 440 calories

LUNCH: 7 ounces canned pink salmon with 1 tablespoon olive oil. 300 calories

DINNER: Four hefty chicken thighs, baked, with skin on, plus a large 
plateful of kale cooked in ghee. 640 calories

That's a total of 1,380 calories, give or take. Since I am already (to use 
Grant's expression from his book) thin as a clothesline, it seems clear 
that I'll need to eat even more olive oil, butter, bacon, Greek yogurt, 
avocados, critter, dark chocolate, coconut oil, etc. I'm willing to do 
that, but I still have to wonder how so many Americans manage to consume 
2,500 calories--or more--each day. (For the record: I didn't even think to 
count calories until, about ten days into the EBDJ diet, I noticed my jeans 
were especially baggy. Decided it might be good to do some counting.)

Clayton: Your results are inspiring.

[RBW] Upright bar build question - shellacked cloth tape to match cork grips

I would like to get some cloth tape to use with some albatross-like
bars (Soma Oxford) that have Miesha's corkgrips on them, to achieve
this sort of look as seen on Rivendell's site:

http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/m4.htm

Note that, I'm not planning to shellac the grips themselves because of
some feedback I got from Miesha herself on the phone the other day.
She didn't like the shellac on the grips.

Anyway, what color tape should I start with before the shellac?
White, beige, or something else?

Also, since I'm on the subject of the build on my wifey's new to her frame,

What adhesive did you use for the cork grips?  Rivendell mentions
Gorilla Grip and some sort of Permatex automotive RTV Form a Gasket
1A sealant as seen in the video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VaUlzsDDvkx-yt-ts=1422411861x-yt-cl=84924572
I would probably make my decision based on just what was most cost
effective.  Seems like if that form of Permatex worked, that any kind
of Permatex RTV might work.  (I used to have lots of RTV around back
in the day when I had a Honda that required valve adjustment every
15K, the gasket would leak on reinstallation unless you put a drop of
RTV in the corners.  But I think that stuff is long since dried up).
What about painters' caulk?  I have like 8 tubes of that sitting
around.  Bought too much when I painted the outside of my house.

Where's the best place to buy the twine as depicted in Riv's videos?
I didn't see it on their site.

Any metal fender installation tips?

triple crankset and a relatively narrow chainline (107 mm BB). The 
kickstand is super stable AND fails to interfere with tyres, chain, cranks 
or RD cable. Yeah, the blind hole is a bummer and I already shortened the 
bolt significantly, but I don't think a through bolt would work with the 
way it's designed. See pics

[RBW] Re: Upright bar build question - shellacked cloth tape to match cork grips

That looks like yellow tape with a single coat of amber shellac.

RE: [RBW] Upright bar build question - shellacked cloth tape to match cork grips

2015-01-28 Thread Allingham II, Thomas J

I use hairspray (under cork grips, perhaps needless to say), and it works fine 
for me.

Subject: [RBW] Upright bar build question - shellacked cloth tape to match cork 
grips

I would like to get some cloth tape to use with some albatross-like bars (Soma 
Oxford) that have Miesha's corkgrips on them, to achieve this sort of look as 
seen on Rivendell's site:

http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/m4.htm

Note that, I'm not planning to shellac the grips themselves because of some 
feedback I got from Miesha herself on the phone the other day.
She didn't like the shellac on the grips.

Anyway, what color tape should I start with before the shellac?
White, beige, or something else?

Also, since I'm on the subject of the build on my wifey's new to her frame,

What adhesive did you use for the cork grips?  Rivendell mentions Gorilla Grip 
and some sort of Permatex automotive RTV Form a Gasket 1A sealant as seen in 
the video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VaUlzsDDvkx-yt-ts=1422411861x-yt-cl=84924572
I would probably make my decision based on just what was most cost effective.  
Seems like if that form of Permatex worked, that any kind of Permatex RTV might 
work.  (I used to have lots of RTV around back in the day when I had a Honda 
that required valve adjustment every 15K, the gasket would leak on 
reinstallation unless you put a drop of RTV in the corners.  But I think that 
stuff is long since dried up).
What about painters' caulk?  I have like 8 tubes of that sitting around.  
Bought too much when I painted the outside of my house.

Where's the best place to buy the twine as depicted in Riv's videos?
I didn't see it on their site.

Any metal fender installation tips?

All very nice photo sets!

Here are my fave shots from 2014 (only 13 made the cut)... all taken by 
bike and spanning three glorious seasons of the northeast. Regrettably my 
bike did not make it into these...
