[RBW] Re: In praise of mid-trail bikes with decaleur-less rando bags

[dstein]

Second that!. I've been wondering this a lot lately. While I agree that low 
trail bikes have different handling characteristics. I've never thought a 
mark's rack plus a basket and sackville shopsack, or even a big ass bag 
like the swift docena, have been nothing but fine on a mid-trail rivendell 
bike. I hear of wheel flop. But I've never been dissastisfied with a small 
rack and load on the front of a mid-trail bike, or even a moderate to heavy 
load for that matter.

[RBW] Re: In praise of mid-trail bikes with decaleur-less rando bags

[Jim M.]

Hear, hear! I've been touring since 1976 (Bikecentennial anyone?) on loaded 
midtrail bikes, and I've survived, flourished even. I prefer midtrail bikes 
to low trail. I have nothing against low trail. Many people prefer them but 
I find silly the notion that they have some magical quality for front 
touring loads. Now if I had to stack 100 pounds of newsprint on the front, 
I'd feel different. Chacun a son gout.

Re: [RBW] RBW / BQ inspired steel lugged custom

[René Sterental]

Thank you so much for all your kind words and sharing your enthusiasm with
me.

Today was the day indeed! And kudos to those of you who made the correct
guesses and special mention to Jeffrey who was even following Steve Rex's
Instagram photos that I wasn't even aware of.

Yes, Steve Rex is the creator of my custom bike and yes Jeffrey, it is that
silver frame with the chrome lugs he posted!

Here is my initial set of photos, as I know most of you want to see it
before reading anything more:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/orthie251/albums/72157672057814225

Steve confirmed that I should let the bike sit for a month so the paint can
"harden", to avoid easily damaging it. So there will be a lot of
contemplation and some minor work before fully beginning to build the bike.
I did the same for the other two bikes that Rick from D painted and am
very happy I waited.

To understand how I "evolved" into this bike, here is a long summary...

After discovering the benefits of the RBW bike design and philosophy via
the acquisition of my A. Homer Hilsen, the opportunities seemed to expand
and I went for a Bombadil that I liked very much but felt was too large for
me as I was set in using drop bars; it would have been fine with upright
rearward bars. Sold it and got the Atlantis and later the Hunqapillar to
replace the Bombadil. Silly of me, I could have gotten a smaller Bombadil
with 650b wheels, but was set on having all bikes with 700c wheels so I
could swap wheels as needed. (There is so much you are set on and later
discover how wrong you were...).

Somewhere in there, since I was hovering around 280 lbs and considered
myself too heavy for the Homer, I was riding the Atlantis and the
Hunqapillar and going through all sort of tweaks with fit, handlebars,
saddles and racks, trying to find a comfortable position as I was having
lots of pain in my neck, hands, feet and butt and couldn't really do any
long rides without having a lot of pain. It was much worse before when I
rode the "racing" geometry, but though it improved, it didn't go away. The
Homer and the Atlantis are 61cm and the Hunqapillar was 58.

I then decided to get a Betty in size 58 whereas RBW recommended the 60/61
for me, but my excuse was to get it for my daughters and still fit me even
if a tiny small. Here's what happened: My daughters never rode it and I
found it fit me perfectly! Additionally, I loved how it handled with its
650b wheels, even more than how the other 700c bikes handled.

In parallel, I had been experiencing shimmy on the Atlantis primarily with
the classic RBW rear loading and didn't like it at all. I also didn't like
the toe overlap, which was more pronounced on the Homer at slow speeds.
Reading about shimmy, I discovered a post where someone wrote that he
addressed the shimmy in his Atlantis with a low trail fork. Investigating
what this meant, I discovered BQ and Jan Heine, and decided to have custom
low trail (40mm) forks made for the Atlantis and the Hunqapillar.

I immediately loved how those bikes improved their handling, especially
with front loads with the low trail forks, and was tempted to convert the
Homer and the Betty as well, but since I really liked how they rode
unloaded and didn't really need front loading on all my bikes, decided to
wait.

Go back a bit to getting my Atlantis. I've always loved to work on my
bikes, and with the exception of some actions, such as installing/removing
the headset (which are so occasional I haven't purchased the tools), I
build (put together) my bikes. I even learned how to build wheels and built
a set when I was in Venezuela, but don't have any practice so I have them
built as well. But I do everything else, pretty much. So here I am building
up my new Atlantis when one of the bolts brakes inside the down-tube
braze-on for the shifter (RBW didn't clean them) and when trying to remove
the broken bolt, I pretty much destroyed the braze-on. Luckily, through
some creativity and much cursing, I was able to make the shifter stay on
the braze-on and rode like that for a couple of years. After the low trail
forks were made, since that meant new paint jobs for both the Atlantis and
the Hunqapillar, I asked Keven at RBW to recommend someone to add a new
braze-on and he recommended Steve Rex in Sacramento.

Move forward in time, I'm on and off the bikes and cannot get really
comfortable on the Hunqapillar, no matter how I configure it. Finally get
on a LCHF diet and start losing weight, and am really thinking hard that I
have too many bikes and too much overlap and I should sell some.

The downsizing debate consumes me emotionally and I decide I need to choose
between the Atlantis and the Hunqapillar since those have the highest
overlap. Test riding both quickly makes it clear that I prefer how the
Atlantis rides and handles much more, so even though the Hunqapillar has
the custom low trail fork, I sell it.

Tweaking my fit on the Atlantis (the Betty is perfect), I realize that I
really want my

[RBW] Re: Jones on the trade/sale block so I can get a Riv

[dstein]

Agree that everyone needs a jones ;). But pictures and a better description 
helps. Is this with the truss fork or regular fork? What color? I'm 
assuming this is not the plus version? What tire sizes are on there now? 
etc. I already have a Plus and don't need another one, but any potential 
buyer would like to see more info. A price goes a long way in getting 
people interested in these forums as well, if its a steal I'm sure someone 
will bite the bullet on it quickly. I bet there's a lot of Riv owners who'd 
love a Jones. 

On another note, why the Jones for a Hunq or Appaloosa? I have both a Hunq 
and a Jones plus, I had the Hunq first and then got the Jones for more 
technical singletrack trail riding. i love them both and can't imagine 
getting rid of either, especially since the Jones plus, although more than 
capable of being setup as an all rounder, currently functions as my 
dedicated trail bike with 3 inch tubeless tires pumped to ~10 psi (which 
suck on the road), crabon rims (i know), and crabon handlebars (yes, i 
know, but no regrets), and my hunq is setup as an all rounder. butif i 
had the jones first, i'd just get another wheelset and skip the second 
bike. you can't beat those Jones loop bars for all rounder purposes. That's 
just one reporter's opinion though.

[RBW] Betty Foy Sighting

[RichS]

First time visit to Cambridge, MA last weekend and I was impressed with the 
number of bicycles and bike lanes I saw. Highlight was a too brief 
conversation with a delightful lady and her beautifully turned out Betty 
Foy. What caught my eye first was the unmistakable tweed medium Saddlesack. 
First time I've seen a BF in person but for years I've read about this 
Rivendell classic. My encounters with Rivs and their riders have been few 
and far between but when it happens it's a special experience. Forgot to 
ask if the owner is on this list but if you are a big shout out to you! 
Thank you, you made my day:)

Best,
Richard (always on the lookout for a Riv kindred spirit)

Ian and Bill, I have a question for you.  I decided to replace the Nitto 
Noodles on my Homer with Albatross bars and ordered the aforesaid Sunraces 
a week before I encountered this string.  Since I used Silver shifters on 
my Noodles, I still have them.  Here's the question:  Do they mount to the 
Sunrace clamps easily or is there some kind of modification kit that is 
necessary?  Thanks.

[Andrew Huston]

Purchasing a bike on a basis of need, I agree, is not likely. I suppose anyone 
interested enough to open the thread may well understand the appeal already or 
develop interest that would lead them to do research, especially at this price 
point. That's the way I go about things. For example, I recently (belatedly) 
became aware of Rawland bikes and spent some time researching their models. It 
was cool to find something new and see another take on bikes. I guess that is 
the thrill of this hobby for me. Maybe I'm hoping to be "forced" to keep it and 
add to the stable, who knows.

[RBW] Re: SUNRACE One-At-a-Time shifter maintenance?

[kielsun]

I use some cheapo click-but-don't-index Sunrace shifters I got from Amazon 
(https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007QMJH86?vs=1) on my late 80s Rockhopper 
adventure/mtb. I absolutely love them and prefer them to the Shimano Ultegras 
on my Sam, which I also run in friction mode. I love the clicks! As far as 
reliability goes, it's still early on, but for $8-10 a pair, they're a decent 
bet for a non-top-of-the-line steed, and they performed well during a recent 
three day bikepacking excursion on the VA MTB Trail.

Digression aside, hope you get yours sorted out! I'm excited to try them out 
this weekend on my buddy's Clem that he bought from a list member.

Andrew, it's pretty unlikely that anybody "needs" your Jones.  Creation 
of desire and impulse and feeding frenzy in your audience is helped 
enormously by putting some effort into providing careful and detailed 
photographs.

Or perhaps you don't *actually* want to sell, in which case, clever.  :-)

[RBW] In praise of mid-trail bikes with decaleur-less rando bags

[Call Me Jay]

I wanted to post an update to a question that I asked the group a while back: 
Despite not having a low-trail fork, can you successfully put a rando bag on a 
Homer? I've had a VO Grand Cru bag on my Homer for a couple months now.  The 
Homer still handles great with a light load in the bag and is now even more 
"helleously versatile".  And...it almost matches my other Sackville stuff.  
Kudos to Grant and the folks at VO.

Hi all,

Will post photos and a short update later. I'll be building the whole 
bike but will take my sweet time to enjoy it. I will also likely let 
the paint fully cure, as expressed in a separate thread.


Hopefully the group will still enjoy this, but if it's too far out 
from the RBW spirit of this forum, I'll be very happy not to do these 
postings. It's just that for me, this bike epitomizes everything I've 
learned and experienced since that very first day when I visited RBW 
HQ and drove home with my Homer.

Re: [RBW] Re: Escape to Rampart Reservoir

[Patrick Moore]

Patrick: I wax nostalgic for last year's RR ride (though I must say that my
dirt skills are far more appropriate to dirt roads and easy paths than to
any technical stuff). I am sorry I couldn't ride with you again this year;
I just did a very quick up and back drive to Co Springs to pick up Catie,
but schedule and circs allowed only a single overnight before the return.

What's the source for your wooden rosary? I ordered one from Amazon, and it
did not live up to expectations.

Rather than start another thread for what was just a leg stretcher of a day

amazing views of Pikes Peak. Wild flowers are going ... wild! For a 
summer's Friday, the cool and clouds kept the lowlanders away so it was 
wondrously quiet. My brain is still recovering from Wednesday's "rush hour"

Hi all. 

I'm interested in buying a set of MKS Touring pedals (maybe they used to be

Or I'd gladly trade for a pair of well-used but perfectly functional MKS 
Sneaker pedals.

Thanks.

Interesting, Justin. I have a SunRace 8-speed thumbie which I'm also not

I guess they'll take a look at your wheel, but another  explanation (more 
likely for a conventional old-school freewheel hub) could be a bent axle. I 
know you haul home lots of groceries so that could be a possibility. 
Apparently cartridge bearings can be obtained from a good bearing supply 
house...but I know I ordered bearings from SJS  Cycles  for my freewheel 
Mavic 501 hub and had  them  installed  at a local LBS who managed to 
misplace the Mavic rear skewer. Wasn't too happy about that , but shops get 
busy and I can see how that could happen, I guess. One of the things I got 
the shop to  check, though, was for a bent axle. Fortunately , the axle was 
straight. Only load I carry is moi.

[RBW] RBW / BQ inspired steel lugged custom

[René Sterental]

Hi all,

The day has arrived. I'm driving to Sacramento later this morning to pick
up my custom low trail 650b lugged steel fendered and racked custom.

Will post photos and a short update later. I'll be building the whole bike
but will take my sweet time to enjoy it. I will also likely let the paint
fully cure, as expressed in a separate thread.

Hopefully the group will still enjoy this, but if it's too far out from the
RBW spirit of this forum, I'll be very happy not to do these postings. It's
just that for me, this bike epitomizes everything I've learned and
experienced since that very first day when I visited RBW HQ and drove home
with my Homer.

[RBW] Re: FS: Frameset, Two Wheelsets, Bosco Bullmoose Bars

[Tim Gavin]

Bill-

I received the frame bag and mounted it on my Schwinn KOM-10.  It fits 
perfectly, as expected!  My only complaint is that it covers the headbadge. 
 

Due to the three-cable-cluster underneath the down tube, I just ran that 
downtube strap a little loose around the outside of the whole mess of 
diving helmet braze-ons.  Is that how you had it set up?




Thanks,
Tim Gavin

[RBW] Re: Wobble in my rear hub

[Deacon Patrick]

Great question, Andy! I'll find out toward the end of the month when the 
budget allows. Didn't want to take it in without having funds for the upper 
range of likely possibility, which they thought was $60 for full (4) sealed 
bearing replacement and labor. So it's Quickbeam rides for a month. Talk 
about hardship! Grin.

With abandon,

Was your LBS able to diagnose your hub, possibly simple as adjusting the 
axle hardware?
