[RBW] Re: What do Rivendell riders use for cycling in the rain in the cold?

[Deacon Patrick]

Lynne, you don't say of whom you speak. "Someone doesn't get wet in the 
rain," aye? No need for snarky passive aggressive. I'll make a leap and 
presume you refer to me. Grin.

Though you didn't ask for it, I presume your hypothesis needs more data. 
Here is some. Currently here in sunny, dry Colorado it is 46˚F with 95% 
humidity, foggy to an extent we can't see the mountain across the way 100 
yards from us. While it hasn't rained constantly here the last three days 
it has rained several times for several hours. And the times I'm referring 
to staying dry during were periods of solid, steady rain for 12 hours or 
more, multiple days in a row. Put the tent away wet, set it up wet kind of 
rain for several days. It's common it the Colorado mountains (less on the 
front range) in Spring and Autumn. Not like the "typical" 20 minute summer 
deluge thunderstorms. That's a different kind of rain. And, lest we forget, 
ventile is from Scotland, precisely the type of climate that has this type 
of lingering, steady, multi-day rain more often than Colorado. It still 
exists because a smart niche of alpine climbers have recognized it's value 
and that it keeps them dryer and warmer when active in the wet than 
anything else.

With abandon,
Patrick

[RBW] Re: vertical/wall-mount bike hanging hook for fat tire bikes?

[Bill Lindsay]

If you already have them, I would recommend bending it to accommodate your 
tire.  Buy a can of plasti-dip if you end up sacrificing the rubberized 
covering.  

The first bend I would consider would be pulling the hook more 
perpendicular to the wall.  Like this one:  different hook 


At the angle you show, I imagine with fat tires, that hook would get 
tangled up with the adjacent spokes.  Having the hook a lot more 
perpendicular to the wall would make it more parallel with the spokes, 
making spoke interference less of an issue.

[RBW] Bleriot for sale

[soqer...@gmail.com]

I am selling my 61 Bleriot.
I have attached a scan of the original invoice with the parts.  The only 
differences are (I believe):
1) Actually has Maxy Fasty tires (Fatty Rumpkins are included)
2) Pedals are now flip-flop
3) No Pletscher rack or pump
4) Comes with grey Nigel Smythe bag and silver hoop
5) Topeak speedometer included
6) SKS fenders included
7) Brooks saddle cover included
 
I have ridden this maybe 500 miles.  Degenerative discs are keeping me off 
bikes.
Here's more info.  When I had this built, I had a long discussion with 
Grant about hand positions, shifters, etc.  
Accordingly, this has a unique set up.  There is a thumb shifter for the 
rear, and a bar end for the front, and a single interrupter brake also.  I 
believe there was a write up in the Reader at one point - sort of has to be 
seen to be understood
Having said that, pictures available
$1,750.  
I will only sell in person in the Bay Area, and will meet within 5 miles of 
RBW.
Thanks
John

[RBW] Re: Luxos U or Edelux?

['Tim' via RBW Owners Bunch]

I'm on my third Luxos U in a year and a half and at PBP this one started having 
issues too, I just haven't ridden at night enough since to confirm that it's 
bad. The upside is that they have been replaced by Peter White immediately and 
with no hassle. Also, when they work, I love them. Charging my phone is a must 
on brevets. I wouldn't want to (and won't) do without that option. Also the 
light has a wonderful beam. That being said, I don't think I'll get a Luxos for 
the new rando bike I'm getting. I'm leaning toward the Edelux and a separate 
USB charger (if that's possible.)

[RBW] Re: C in October

[Pondero]

DC area friends, the plan provided above is still a "go".  Briefly...

-Tuesday, October 6

-Bethesda Bagels 8:30 to 9:15

-Fletchers Boathouse 9:45ish to 10ish

-Lunch likely in Leesburg (not sure when)

-Camp at Indian Flats H/B site

The long range weather forecast seems to suggest that the rainy weekend 
will improve...just in time.  We'll see you there.

[RBW] FS: Dyno light, pedals, map holder, bike!

[Shawn Granton]

Hello folks-

It's time to get rid of stuff I no longer need or use anymore, including
the beloved Crested Butte. Local pickup in Portland, OR, cash payment
preferred.  Out of town folks: I'll ship anything for a extra shipping fee.
Feel free to ask questions, etc. And please contact me off list!


   - *B+M Lumotec IQ Cyo Senso Plus dynamo powered LED headlight.* Had this
   one for three years, so it’s not as fancy as some of the new ones, but
   still puts out a LOT of light. Sorry, no USB converter thingy so don’t ask.
   About 25 lux.$50
   - *Suntour XC-II “bear claw” pedals, 9/16".* The classic 80’s pedal
   coveted by vintage MTBers and BMXers alike. Still in good shape, though
   shows a few decades of wear. Spins nicely! $75
   - *Jandd map holder for handlebars.* $5
   - *1984 Raleigh Crested Butte mountain bike. *19" frame, Deored up the
   yin-yang. $250. More info, pics here:
   
https://urbanadventureleague.wordpress.com/2015/10/01/for-sale-1984-raleigh-crested-butte-mountain-bike/
