[RBW] Re: encomium of SaddleSack Medium as a daily commute bag
It has to go in at an angle initially but my full size 17 work HP laptop fits in my SS Med on a regular basis. My bag has been used a fair amount and may have stretched a bit at the opening but I doubt it. Amazing bag, I love commuting with it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Measuring sit bones: hilarity ensues
yes, you gotta start somewhere. After 2 years on a Brooks B17S Imperial, my daughter has developed a comfort issue. From examining the saddle, it looks like she's sitting right on the back rail. So last night I sent Debra an e-mail looking for a demo. While I had the saddle for a sit-bone measurement, I asked my daughter to sit on a memory-foam pillow, and got a very good demonstration and measurement from that. Though my daughter didn't find the event hilarious - she didn't like the whole concept.

[RBW] Headset question
How do you know when a headset is worn out? My Hilsen has an Ultegra headset. The bike was built up in 2011. There seems to be kind of a dead spot when the wheel is centered up. If you have the wheel centered and move the handlebars to the left and right, it's like you have to overcome inertia to get past that spot. The best way I can describe it is it feels a little like when you swing one of those swinging saloon doors, the way they kind of pause at dead center. It makes me wonder if the headset needs replaced. If so, any suggestions as to a good headsets?

[RBW] Re: Headset question
That certainly does sound odd. I'm no expert, especially on Ultegra HS. It almost sounds like a scratch in the cup. The upper half of the head set is relatively easy to get to, but requires two wrenchs, a 32 mm cone wrench and a big adjustable or another 32mm wrench. You can remove the HBs without disconnecting any cables. Examine the balls and the cup looking for signs of ware. If none, regrease and reassemble. The bottoms are a little more difficult to deal with. You will need to turn the bike over. Fully getting the bottom out and installing a new HS is best done with a special tool. If you do need new headset, Cane Creek makes a very nice 1 silver model. Good luck, Michael On Monday, July 13, 2015 at 10:45:49 AM UTC-4, Tim wrote: How do you know when a headset is worn out?

It would be even more pronounced if you went on down to a 650b-38... at that point, you will start to have a lot more issues w/ crank-length, and would be losing some of the fatter-tire advantage of going to a 650b in the first place. (Realize, this is coming from the guy running 700c-40's on his canti-Rom... I can ride them at 50psi or less, but if I pump up the rear tire above 60psi, I can start to hear the center-tread brushing the screw that I used to plug the hole underneath the rear bridge (I left the screw just a tiny bit proud from the bridge itself instead of fully flush, just to be an 'indicator' that I need to back the psi off).) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Headset question
90% sure you have a worn headset.

Yes, that headset probably needs to be replaced but first it should be checked for proper preload adjustment. The wheel, fender if any and handlebars/stem need to be removed to do this. Headset longevity is interesting- my Riv A/R has had the same Stronglight headset since 1996, my Ritchey has had the same AheadSet threaded with cartridge bearings since 1998 (and that one came on the frame which I bought used, I have no idea how long it’s been on there), my home built bike has a Stronglight headset that’s been on there for 10 years. So my advice would be a Stronglight headset since I have had great results with them. Jobst Brandt opined that what damages headsets is long periods of riding in a straight line which results in the headset being loaded without moving, causing micro welding adhesions between the ball and the fork race as the grease is pushed out of the contact point. When the fork is eventually turned a few atoms of metal are torn off the race and/or cup. I don’t know if that’s really correct, but I do remember reading reports of headset damage like this on pro team bikes that had never been ridden- they had been carried on a roof rack with a fork mount, which transmitted all of the road vibrations into an unmoving headset and caused wear of the races and cups. For this reason I never use a fork-mounted roof rack for ferrying my bikes around. Of course, I almost never put by bike in a car anyway, preferring to ride from home as much as possible. I probably should put it in the car and drive to a ride, I am bored of my usual roads. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Headset question
As I've gone through the process of completely tearing down and re-building my stolen-but-now-recovered Rambouillet, I noticed the headset felt a bit rough. This is the same Ultegra Headset the OP is talking about, I think. None of my local shops could get the cartridges, so I did the trick that Bill mentioned (swap top and bottom). That definitely improved the situation, but it's still not as smooth as it could be. @Tim: If you don't go for those cartridges on eBay that Anton mentioned, I will probably jump on them.

One thing we did a lot at the shop was just put the bottom cartridge unit on top and the top one on the bottom. See if that feels a lot better.

[RBW] Re: Headset question
Another trick for loose ball headsets is to remove the caged bearings and fill the race with loose bearings, minus one bearing. This creates more contact points than the reduced number available with a caged bearing. I understand that the OP isn't capable of this type of repair due to his current living situation, but I thought that I would offer this tip in the event that someone else may benefit from it.

[RBW] Re: San Marcos vs ES
No experience with the ES but I have been riding a 59cm SM for about a year now. The first thing I would ask is how important is tire clearance. I have had Jack Brown greens (33.333) and could not fit my aluminum (VO) fenders with them. The brakes were the first things touching but it was the depth not the width that was the issue so I don't think new brakes would make a big difference. Probably with some SKS fenders and different brakes you could fender the Jack Browns but I just went down to the Roly Polys (28). I have had zero issues since switching but I also don't ride rough dirt, occasionally smooth dirt/gravel but the 28s are fine for that. As for the bike, I love it, it is the best mix of comfort, smoothness, and responsiveness I've ever ridden. That being said, If I could go back, I would have bought a SH so I could have the tire clearance for rougher dirt and heavy touring. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

The thing is, the damage always happen on the bottom one. One thing we did a lot at the shop was just put the bottom cartridge unit on top and the top one on the bottom. See if that feels a lot better. For ball and cup headsets, we'd remove the lower cup from the frame, rotate it 90 degrees and press it back in. That puts the damage at a place you'll never get to. If these mechanics tricks are more trouble then they are worth, then absolutely just get your headset replaced. On Monday, July 13, 2015 at 8:39:25 AM UTC-7, Anton Tutter wrote: If this is a modern Ultegra headset, it will use replaceable cartridge bearings, and the indexed feel is caused by one or more of the cartridge races no longer having a uniform surface for the balls to roll on. You probably don't need a new headset; you can just have the cartridges replaced. If it were an older style headset that used caged or free bearings, the races would be built into the headset cups, and the entire headset would need to be replaced.

Corrected version! I'll confess, I did not physically measure my actual top-tube-height prior to converting (and, I haven't after-the-fact either, actually). But yes, the top-tube will drop a little bit. The Ram was targeted to fit the RolyPoly, which is pretty much a 700c-27 in actuality. (I ran the RuffyTuffy version instead.) The Hetres (although usually called a 42, is probably more like a 650b-41), should be really close to the same size. In 700c, I ended up later running 32's, so there was a little more drop w/ it, gave me acceptable fender clearance. But if you're running a smaller 700c tire, like the 700c-27, it might be, what, 1mm or so? (I did the math back at the time ahead of actually converting, to see what it might look like... but don't recall the exact figure off the top of my head). A bigger 700c-28, or a 700c-32, is going to be a little bit more noticeable, in having the top-tube drop a little bit when straddling. It would be even more pronounced if you went on down to a 650b-38... at that point, you will start to have a lot more issues w/ crank-length, and would be losing some of the fatter-tire advantage of going to a 650b in the first place. (Realize, this is coming from the guy running 700c-40's on his canti-Rom... I can ride them at 50psi or less, but if I pump up the rear tire above 60psi, I can start to hear the center-tread brushing the screw that I used to plug the hole underneath the rear bridge (I left the screw just a tiny bit proud from the bridge itself instead of fully flush, just to be an 'indicator' that I need to back the psi off).) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Most of you know Seth Vidal, who frequented RBW list and who was killed in a hit and run two years ago. One of the things he liked was the ride reports. He'd share them with me and we'd plan rides. I joined the list a few months after he died, mostly just to update the group, but I've also read some of your ride reports, and they were very, very helpful on getting me back on the bike and rediscovering a new, but different, kind of joy that only bicycles can provide. I thought I'd contribute as well. It's also my small way of saying thanks for your support, intentional or not. I've organized rides of remembrance on the day he died, and I rode his Hilsen in both cases. This year, a friend of mine borrowed my QB for the memorial ride so two Rivs were well represented. :) The ride was roughly 2 miles- it was just a slow roll through the neighborhood to the area where Seth was killed, to where the ghost bike was, have a moment of silence, and then through a very short trail along Ellerbee Creek and back to the starting point. We went to a pub later. The most amazing thing was that when we all lined up in front of the ghost bike, traffic actually slowed down (it almost never does- it's a 35 mph but since it leads to highways on both ends, most folks go 45-50). I led the ride, but I am a terrible ride leader. Last year, I rode really fast ahead of the pack and it became a joke (after years of riding the tandem and having Seth tell me to pedal harder, it's kind of hard to break the habit). This year a friend took me for an impromptu 14 mile ride the day before and another friend made sure I had a few beers in before the ride. I apparently still went too fast, and someone kind of had to chase me down to make sure I waited for the group. And honestly, I tried to slow down. It's not my fault Rivs are extremely efficient machines. And I would have taken photos, except I managed to destroy my camera with the water from the bouquet of sunflowers (Seth's favorite) that I left at the ghost bike.

[RBW] Re: Necro-stock! A shop with a new Rambouillet frame in stock?
First and foremost, a big thank you to Bill for this post and for sharing his surprising discovery! By that I mean, the NOS Rambouillets at Alex's Cycles in Japan.. A little background, I'd owned and ridden a Rivendellicious Blue 54cm Ram, loved that bike, but, it was* just a tad* too big for my 5' 6 body. So I sadly let it go; the new owner a list member had posted an ISO/WTB for a 54 Ram on this site. Shortly after shipping the Ram to its new home, and thinking I'd never find a 52cm Ram, I posted ISO/WTB for a 51cm Roadeo. Didn't get a single reply, not surprised, there may not be one out in the wild in that size or if there is the owner's not letting it go. Anyway Tuesday July 7th, 7:13 pm Arizona time, Alex's Cycles accepts my online order for a Blue 520mm Rambouillet..Saturday July 11th, 10:18 am Arizona time USPS delivers a box at my front door! Someone asked: is Alex's Cycles legit? YES. Another question was: how much to ship it to USA? In my case, $80.60. From Osaka it came via Japan Post (EMS) to Los Angeles, USA, after customs, USPS International Priority.

[RBW] Re: Mt. Desert Island, ME Acadia cycling tips
We passed through there a number of years ago. Spent 3-4 days camped and exploring by bike. The carriage roads were pretty fun and a historic way to get around, though here and there they tended towards loose/sandy. I rode up to see the sunrise one morning on Cadillac Mtn and was the only cyclist there. Not a lot of excess shoulder on the paved roads that I remember, but folks were pretty aware for the most parts. I've been a lot more tense just riding out here on Hwy 1 during the motorhome season.

Erl: My wife, son, and I will be there near the end of this month. She'll be riding her Atlantis, and I may also be riding mine (or my Ram). Anyway... +1 to the comments on riding up Cadillac Mtn. We were there around nine years ago, and I really enjoyed the ride up. If you want to ride up to see the sunrise, however, it might be a little dark ;-) There is also the Park Loop Road (I think that's what it's called), which does just what it sounds like. Could be crowded, I guess. The last time we were there it was in the month of October, and it wasn't too bad. I just picked up an Esbit stove today, and am looking forward to making coffee somewhere along the carriage roads in a few weeks.

[RBW] Re: Mt. Desert Island, ME Acadia cycling tips
Erl, The carriage roads are great. I've biked them a few times and always enjoy them. You'll share them with hikers and even some horse carriages and probably some riders on horseback. There are over 40 miles of carriage roads so you could spend a lot of time on them. The park loop road is paved and though you share it with cars I've seen plenty of bikes on it. It's mostly two lanes and one-way. I think the speed limit is around 30 mph or so. As for roads outside the park, I think both Rt. 3 from the 3/102 split to Bar Harbor is going to be busy, and Rt. 102 from the 3/102 split to Southwest Harbor will be busy. The other thing to keep in mind is that many of the roads don't have much of a shoulder, which you may or may not be comfortable with. Assuming you're driving up, you might want to spend a couple of hours driving around to scope out some of the roads along the coast (For example NE Harbor to Sargeant Dr. along Somes Sound). Also, consider taking the ferry (mail boat?) to the Cranberry Islands. It's a quick trip, but I have no idea if they allow bikes on the boat. I've been there many times.
