[RBW] Re: New Bike Day!

[Daniel Woods]

Thanks for the amazing introduction, Amit. And thank you Eric for the 
amazing wheels!!! 

The Bleriot is a game changer. It really is. Having said that, I absolutely 
love my Motobecane and I intend to keep it. 

My being forced into cycling as part of my move out here to the West Coast 
has undoubtedly changed my life for the better. 3 years later and 20 lbs 
lighter I am a full-fledged ride-aholic. 

It is an incredible feeling to have such a sweet ride. Thank you all for 
your warm reception. I am so grateful to be part of this club!

Seeing that yo no bi is made up of two Chinese characters made me think, 
"there must be a great chinese saying (cheng yu) that explains beausage!" 
But I couldn't think of one. I know there are some chinese speakers out 
there who may think of one.

I would not call it a direct translation to Japanese, but the Japanese 
world view that I think of as consistent with beausage is "wabi sabi".

Re: [RBW] Mystery Science Question

[Eric Norris]

I have SP hubs on two bikes, and have never had this happen. Are you sure the 
quick release is tight enough? I'm not sure why the connector would rotate 
backwards like this, but that's the first thing I would check.

I'm also concerned that your front wheel isn't sitting in the fork ends 
correctly. Based on your photos, it looks like it's a few millimeters out from 
where it should be. I'd look into that as well--perhaps the springs on the 
skewer are somehow preventing the wheel from fully engaging in the fork ends, 
which might have something to do with the rotation?

[RBW] favorite mixed terrain tires, winter edition

[Neil]

OK, I love my Barlow Pass 38s for all manner of off-pave riding in the dry 
months. But now El Nino is mucking up my game!

It's still fun out there, but I'd like to have a tad more traction in the 
dirt. But I hate buzzing tires on pavement. What mixed terrain tires do 
folks like? Tempted to try Rock n Roads, but want to look at options before 
I drop $$ on expensive shoes for my bike.

700c, 35+.

Cheers,

Neil

Rock and roads are super buzzy on the road. Smart Sams are super grippy and 
fairly quiet on the road. Cornering on pavement isn't that great though. 
They are my favorite.

Thanks Shoji and Ben. 

I never got use to looking down at the bullmoose, but boscos on a traditional 
stem is a good look. And I agree, being able to adjust the angle is nice. That 
being said,  Riv did a good job on the angle of the bosco bars for me.

[RBW] Re: favorite mixed terrain tires, winter edition

[Chad]

I've not tried the Knards, but I've heard they are pretty fragile.  I'm loving 
the Rock n Roads so far on my Sam.  They do hum a bit, but to my ears it's a 
pleasant hum, not as bad as the buzz from knobbies.  The Clements are very 
popular with the gravel crowd in my neck of the woods.  The new tubeless 700x36 
MSO's are supposed to be the bee's knees.

[RBW] Re: How do you say beausage in Japanese?

[Zed Martinez]

Like Bill, wabi-sabi was the philosophy I knew of and work to embrace more. 
Nothing lasts, nothing is finished, nothing is perfect.

Re: [RBW] Re: favorite mixed terrain tires, winter edition

[Tim Gavin]

I have 700 x 38 Bontrager CX0 tires on my carbon 'cross bike, and they're
excellent.  They roll really fast yet have decent grip on the edges.  Like
many supple/knobby tires, the tread wears out relatively quickly, though.

I picked up some 700 x 38 Challenge Gravel Grinder (race 120 tpi) tires as
spares, but since I picked up Dave N's Roadeo they'll go on that bike
first.  They're light weight and reported to roll really well.

The new Schwalbe G-One comes in a 700 x 38 size as well.  Looks tempting.

[RBW] Clemmin' Around

[BenG]

Handsome bike!  Hearty approval.
I also swapped away a bullmoose bosco bar (from my mystery bike) but only in 
order to gain adjustment of the bars angle.  I LOVE the bullmoose for its solid 
inflexibility, but sorely needed more down angle to reduce painful ulnar 
deviation.

Someone is buying the Bush Eyc dyno and Nitto Cable guard. So dropping the

Re: [RBW] Re: Mid-Atlantic 2016 Snow

[Chris Chen]

It never gets that bad here in Portland but the last time we had a freak
snowstorm that put a few inches right before rush hour, I rode my 23mm
tyred, old Cannondale race bike home from work, just riding nice and slow;
the narrow tires cut nicely through the slow.

A magical memory.

[RBW] Re: WTT / FS - Swift Industries, Cambium, Wool, Mavic shoes...more

['jinxed' via RBW Owners Bunch]

It's really nice, I just dont wear it anymore. I am a 38 in a fitted suit 
jacket, but despite this being a small, it fits pretty roomy. I could wear 
it OVER a suit. By todays slim fit standard, this would be a large. I used 
it as a winter overcoat of sorts, usually with a shirt and sweater layered 
and it's good for that.

I got it at Structure quite a long time ago. Not even sure if that store is 
still around. It was $250 at the time. Leather is heavy and supple and took 
on an awesome patina.

For reference, I am 5'9" and @ 160lbs. Wear a 15 1/2 x 32/33 dress shirt. 
The coat is a drop shoulder style, and the sleeves fall to the first 
knuckle on my thumb with only a tee shirt. Plenty of room in the chest.

I figured $75 and shipping

Yeah, I pile on the layers in MD in the 20's-40's, and still get chilly. 
Doesn't make for fun, free, and easy riding with all those layers. I need to

Cannot fathom staying warm overnight camping in those temps.

Re: [RBW] Re: Snowy s24o, sleeping under the full moon

Thanks Hugh. Actually the coldest I've camped in is -35C, which is -31F.
That was so...brutally...cold. I was pretty green in terms of winter
camping then, I think I'd be better prepared to handle that now. Pretty
much anything warmer than -20C/-4F is pretty straight forward now, and a
ton of fun!

[RBW] Snowy s24o, sleeping under the full moon

[Mark Reimer]

With the forecast unseasonably warm over the weekend, figured it was time 
to go camping. The overnight low was -9C, daytime high of +1C. In January!

We decided to ride to the mouth of a small river in a park about 45 minutes 
outside of the city. We began on the frozen Red River, cautiously coasting 
past ice skaters. Zero traction here, don't touch the brakes! We stuck to 
mostly single-track along the river banks or quiet side roads, making the 
ride out quite enjoyable. Once we hit the park, we found some glorious 
snow-packed and twisty single track that led us to a fallen tree on the 
river ice. Perfect camp spot for the night. The fallen tree would provide 
us some shelter from snowmobile traffic, if there was any. You never know 
when someone drunk and speeding at 150km/h might come along in your sleep...

At night the clouds blew off, and we were treated to a clear silvery full 
moon, so bright it woke everyone up. We admired our camp spot bathed in the 
moonlight for a while, then back to sleep. 

Compared to my last outdoor winter s24o, this time I was substantially 
warmer. I slept soundly and couldn't imagine being more comfortable 
honestly. A layer of snow on the ice provided a soft surface to sleep on, 
and the riverbank sheltered us from the wind. All in all it was possibly my 
favourite s24o I've ever done.

Cheers!

Riv note - This was my first ride after treating the Atlantis with Fluid 
Film frame saver. So far so good. I also rode with Thunder Burts again 
(2.1") and they were fantastic.

Mark,

You're intrepid. I was in a conversation yesterday with a fellow and he was 
remarking how cold it was! I exclaimed it wasn't that cold, he said when he 
leaves for work it's in the 40's and I mentioned that I knew of a guy who 
winter bike camps in 15ºF. I thought you'd done this same type of thing in 
-4ºF? Anyway 40's here in SoCal is cold but not really that back especially 
when the high is in the mid 60's.

I love your snowy camping scenes and description. Keep the adventures 
coming.

Best Regards,

~Hugh

I have an all black Ozette which I'd offer for trade. Not sure if that's 
what you're looking for though...

[RBW] Note to self, cold weather and pedal installation.

[Fred Craven]

Last night, well yesterday, two things arrived. My new VP-001 Pedals and My 
RR44. Yay!

The Reader is fun, it's nice to have a throwback to the days of newsletters 
that are printed.

Now to the pedals. I purchased them because I need some more support for my 
foot. The historically wonderful, and most awesome, Campy Record pedals are 
awesomely awesome, but there isn't much support for my non-cleated feet. To 
make matters more interesting/challenging I have short wide feet that angle 
out--they always have. Yep, I have duck feet. Small duck feet, but duck 
feet just the same. So, I got the VP-001 in hopes that they would do me 
well.

Of course I was excited to install them, but they simply didn't want to go 
in. I got them in the threads, but wow were they tight. 
.
.
It was only later that realized that SCIENCE RULES. 
The bike was in the cold garage, and 
the pedals were in the warm house. 
When I went to install them

I'm looking forward to giving them an actual ride.

[RBW] Re: Clemmin' Around

[Tim Wood]

Thanks Zed, maybe I'll play around with the tire pressure.  Like I said it only 
happens no handed and at very specific speeds, I'd estimate around 30-40km/hr, 
so it's a pretty rare scenario and it's easy to correct. 

Nice decal design btw!

[RBW] Re: Clemmin' Around

[Zed Martinez]

Thanks, Tim. And hey, for better or worse I consider 'no hands' to be the 
fifth really good hand position on my albastches, a habit I picked up from 
my Simcoe roadster which is so stable and so limited in hand grips that it 
became habit for me to ride long stretches of the trail out here just 
leaning back. But still, those are some pretty good speeds, I think 40kmph 
is about as fast as I've been able to get my Clem up to period in the 
winter out here, and that was just for a few seconds on a downhill. I don't 
think I'd want to be taking that no-hands anyway ;)

Mark:

You make it sound so effortless & fun.  Your probably getting a lot of 
people thinking about snow camping; more adventerous souls 
than me though.  "Unseasonably warm-9C..."  Wow!  Good on you for 
getting out in those conditions when others are just dreaming of spring.  
Love your photos.

[RBW] Re: Clemmin' Around

[Zed Martinez]

Glad to see you finally got the rack sorted, Tim! Sorry to hear about your 
girl and hope things are getting better. Sounds like it was a fun ride, 
though. Wish I could help you more on the wobble thing... my 52cm with rack 
only does the usual wobble at low speeds, and it cleans up as it goes. I 
did have problems with more at one point and learned the front on mine is 
fairly sensitive to tire pressure and pushing that up 5psi resolved that. 
And I've also found adding my front panniers--even empty-- will clean up 
some normal wobble, but made wheel flop correction if I oversteered a 
problem. It tended to compound itself rather than correct itself, but I was 
using a wheel stabilizer back then and those problems are probably just 
that.

Hope you get it figured out though.
