Re: [RBW] Thinking of a Riv

Absolutely, Toshi. My apartment is at the top of a short-but-steep hill, and it 
can be a bear at the end of a ride. That 24 x 34 combo means I can continue to 
spin instead of grinding out the last desperate mile. I love it.

Re: [RBW] Thinking of a Riv

[Toshi Takeuchi]

I regularly do hilly rides and never felt like my 24 chainring with 34 cog
in the back is too low.  This feeling is especially true after a bunch of
riding and when I am really tired. A slow spinning ride certainly beats
walking up the hill for me. Whatever long or tired may be for each person
will be different, but when I reach that long and tired, I am happy to have
those low gears!

[RBW] Re: Hub area bag/rack mounting hacks

[Jeff Lesperance]

I was specifically looking for solutions for the hub area bag/rack combo. I
think the backabike bags have some similarity in that they also use nylon
straps for attachment, and I'll comment on that a bit, but the hub area
bags have a bottom pocket that slides into the bottom of the rack as the
bottom anchor point, so they are a touch different. This pocket actually
complicates matters a bit for mounting systems like the Ortlieb kit as you
can't just drop the bag onto the rack from the top, rather you slide the
pocket into the bottom of the rack from the bottom.

I'm not sure the Ortlieb system will work on these bags, but I'm fixing to
figure it out.

I like the aesthetic and the simplicity that Riv is going for with these
bags, and I don't find the mounting solution for the hub area bags to be
problematic, but I wanted to see if I could improve it. I think that the
strap mounting solution for the backabike bags is a bit more problematic
due to the size of the bags. They're bigger bags which represent
opportunity to get more weight in them. If you have one of those bags
loaded with heavy stuff, I have to think that mounting/unmounting with the
straps, regardless of how frequent you do it, could be fairly cumbersome.
The hub area bags could be cumbersome too, but they're smaller mount lower
to the ground so even if they are heavy you don't have a large bag to lift
as far off the ground.

 Do you guys mind posting the link to this hardware that you are using? I just 
bought the Backabike bags from Rivelo today, and I'm curious.  I don't even 
know if I want to take the bags on and off yet, it's just too soon to tell what 
needs I will have for the school year.  But it would be nice to know what you 
are using for quick on and off if it's no trouble to send the link. Thanks!

['Mark in Beacon' via RBW Owners Bunch]

http://fireflybicycles.com/bicycles/all-road

Since it is custom, and they offer different head tubes and braking 
options, I am pretty sure they would be happy to take your money and get 
you on a Fantasy "Riv, " complete with cantis, quill stem, and geometry for 
bars level with saddle. A Firefly All Road was reviewed in BQ last issue.

Like Steve, I had a '91 Spectrum. I liked it fine, but I like steel better. 
I've ridden modern Ti as well--a friend bought a Lynskey road bike 
recently. It's a great material for bikes, but it just doesn't do much for 
me--certainly not enough to pay the extra $$$. Though I did flirt with 
buying a proto ti rSogn that Sean of Rawland offered at one point (which I 
believe was built by Lynskey).

If you are referring to my comment in another thread that they are not 
designed for easy on/easy off, that was definitely not a lament! I 
experience no grief over this, because I knew they were not made for taking 
on and off frequently, and I don't need bags that facilitate that. 

 Here is the product description: 

*Both mount via two grommets and a strap (included). It's not the one hand/ 
one second mount and release of a lot of modern bags, but if you can spare

Now I see from Jeff's latest post that apparently you can easily retrofit 
these with Ortlieb hardware. So there you go! Me, I'm sticking with the

I got a Bike, Book & Hatchet shirt for 5 bucks, then bought a MultiSack and bar 
tape after the shop opened. 

I brought my Dahon folder 2-speed for a little underbiking at Shell Ridge. I 
saw the group ride leave from RBW as I was pulling out, then saw them again at 
the trailhead just as I had packed my bike back in the car. I met Mark's wife, 
Amy, on the trail, which was very cool. I had just finished walking up a hill 
when a beautiful chartreuse Rivendell rode by. I was like, I know that bike! 

It was a lovely Rivendell day.

[RBW] Re: Albastache Cockpit Tweaks

[Lungimsam]

Dentist visit for the tusks.
Nice work!

In one of the readers Grant did a set up recommendation for tusks. 
Distances and angles of brake levers, etc. It was interesting and fun to 
read.

'staches are easy and fun to tweak and set up.
Drop bars are a bear. Very difficult because the leaning is on the hoods, 
so both hoods gotta be even in every axis. Easy to get neurotic over it.

Leaning on 'staches  is on the bars, not levers, so they are a joy to play 
around with when setting up!

[Lungimsam]

Here ya go:

 
Aerotech Thermal Windstopper Tights - 60$ Shipped CONUS (I'd offer it to 
our Hawaii listers, but I doubt you would ever need them!).

Large. Black. Articulated knee. No pad. Elastic waist with tie string.
Bought new from Aerotech. No shop logo. 86% Polyester/14% Spandex
Reflective bits.
Zippered at bottom of legs.
Only ridden once, less than 9 miles. Laundered once.

Selling because I like the easier movement of wool tights.

If interested, you can email me at: john11.2...@gmail.com

Re: [RBW] OT: best tablet or Kindle Fire alternative?

That looks very interesting, particularly because it can bypass Overdrive,
the interface between your local library's ebook collection and Kindle --
"interface" is being kind; it's very cumbersome and primitive. I'll check
the Kobo out (heh heh heh).

Kindle Paperwhite. Hands down best value I've seen for pure reading (e-ink 
makes a WORLD of difference, allowing me to read for hours vs a Fire or 
iPad/phone). It goes on sale now and again for roughly $100. Bulky and 
awkward web browser, but usable in a pinch, but I almost never do, so I 
can't speak to it.

[RBW] OT: best tablet or Kindle Fire alternative?

[Patrick Moore]

I have an old Kindle Fire, which someone onlist very kindly donated. The
battery is losing hold, and I'd like a slightly more generally useful
replacement, meaning that the device's principal use would be Kindle, but
I'd also like to be able to surf lightly and check and send email.

The device would have to be faster and less "klunky" than the Fire.

The device's screen must be more or less the size of the Fire's, and it
must weigh about the same -- I like reading in bed.

I don't use it for deep surfing or actions that need privacy security.

I'd buy used before new, but new cheap is acceptable.

What are my options, and which is best? I use Apple laptop and phone, but I
am not tied to the marque.

I'll give the Fire away free, shipping incl., if and when I get a
replacement device - it was shipped to me free and I thank the giver again.

Thanks.

Slightly aslant from the original question, but leaving aside flex or no
flex, what *real, practical* benefit would you get from a ti Riv that you
wouldn't get from a Riv Riv?

Me, I've found true love in both flexy (Raleigh Technium, '73 Motobecane G
Record) and standard-Riv-stout frames.

Re: [RBW] Re: Click, click, click ... aaargh

[Robert Barr]

Jay, my experience is similar to Ren'e's. I had a persistent rythmic click
that I couldn't find. After much adjusting and inspecting, a friend who is
a wheel  builder heard me say that there was no click on the stand. He took
the tire off and carefully looked at the rim while he hand stressed it.
Under load a hairline cracked appeared in the rim.  The crack was visible
with a 10X hand lens, but not by eye unless under slight load. Bob

[RBW] Re: Hub area bag/rack mounting hacks

I have a set of Ortliebs and I think they have superior mounts. I was
thinking I'd like to try to make something a bit better than just threading
a strap through and around every time I want to instal or remove the bags,
without buying Ortlieb kit. I went to the local small box hardware store
and stared at esoteric fasteners for a while and just did not experience an
aha moment. I ordered some small Ortlieb rails and mounts when I got home.

Re: [RBW] Re: Fantasyland Daydream: Ti "Riv"

[Steve Palincsar]

Some Ti frames are flexible.  Some people do not like flexible frames 
and will disparage them.  And that's what you heard.


My 1991 Ti Spectrum definitely is.  Back then, before the fall of the 
Soviet Union and the Peace Dividend, there was no bicycle Ti tubing; 
there was Ti for aircraft hydraulic systems and Ti tubing for liquid 
Sodium for the cooling of nuclear reactors, and it came in limited 
tubing diameters and thicknesses.  Like it or no, back then builders 
didn't have the option of choosing to fine-tune stiffness, the way they 
do now (to see this in action, check out Seven Cycles' order form).  
Today, you can get a Ti frame to be as stiff or as flexible as you like.

[RBW] Albastache Cockpit Tweaks

[Deacon Patrick]

Albastache (new Moustache) tweaks! i take a year or more to decide what and how 
to tweak, and each year the tweaks get smaller, because they don’t need to be 
bigger.

2 cm shorter stem; inboard shift of brake levers (better leverage for just 1-2 
finger braking); thumb shift instead of bar end shifter, for direct access to 
shifting in the curves when it matters most (climbs and descents).

Photo helps make sense of it all:

Re: [RBW] Fantasyland Daydream: Ti "Riv"

[Patrick Moore]

Regarding the "Riv" part: I could easily do without the lugs if a frame had
the "fit" and "feel" of a good (road) Riv, and such a "Riv" in ti would be
wonderful. (IMO, the essence of a Riv is the fit and feel; all else is very
much secondary.)

I recall an American seller of custom ti's, who used to be on the iBoblist,
who sourced his wares in China. Can anyone recall his company's name? The
prices IIRC were very reasonable.

[RBW] Re: Hub area bag/rack mounting hacks

[Alex Wirth- Owner, Yellow Haus Bicycles]

I've got the hub area bags mounted to a Velo Orange rack using only the two 
mounting points/grommets. They seem super solid even without the bottom

[RBW] Fantasyland Daydream: Ti "Riv"

[Bill Lindsay]

You've got Riv in quotation marks, implying that your fantasy bike is like some 
Rivendell in some way.  Which one?  What way?  Road bikes that have clearance 
for wide tires and that allow you to get your bars up high are pretty common 
now.  A titanium cruiser with really long chainstays would be harder to source. 
 

Or are you talking about having Grant work up a custom design and right when he 
goes to send the build sheet to Nobillette, you have him send it to a Ti 
builder?  

Or are you just starting conversation?

  As with any material, it's the execution of it that determines it's 
stiffness . Things like tube diameter and thickness, and the way it's all 
put together :)  Like any frame you could say it's both an art and a 
science.

[RBW] Re: Cantilever brake question...

[René Sterental]

Here is the source of my original confusion; extracted from the article
linked by Alan:
"*Straddle cable and yoke position*
To get the most out of your canti brake, it's crucial to get the straddle
cable carrier (yoke) installed in the right position based on the type of
brakes you are running.  Simply put, you want to try to achieve a 90 degree
angle between the pivot bolt/cable anchor/straddle cable.  The angle formed
if you drew a line from the pivot bolt to the cable anchor on the arm and
along the straddle cable should be around 90 degrees.  This gives you a
good combination of modulation and power.  It's possible to alter this
angle to get more power, giving up modulation.  A rough rule of thumb is
low-profile brakes require a low straddle cable carrier position, wide
profile brakes require a high straddle cable carrier position.  Going even
lower on a low-profile brake will give you more power, but the modulation
will be lower and the brake pads will need to be set closer to the rim.
This position also will feel a little mushy at the lever.  Most lower
profile canti brakes I see have the straddle carrier set too high.  This
might feel good at the lever; solid feeling, you might say, but when you
need to hit the brakes you won't have the power needed to stop."

See the sentence that starts with "A rough rule of thumb..."

So I checked my Neo-Retro yoke position; it wasn't too high, limited by the
crown fork cable hanger, probably around 1 - 1.5" above the fender (recent
photo: https://flic.kr/p/Huku4A). Lowered it to almost touching the fender,
just 5 - 6mm away, and though the feeling increased slightly, the braking
is still less powerful than the rear Touring brake.

Next step is to remove the rack (hassle!) to install the Touring brakes and
check if the MiniMoto fit or not.

Stay tuned...

René

[RBW] Re: Fantasyland Daydream: Ti "Riv"

[iamkeith]

Are you talking geometry, lugged joints or overall aesthetics?  I'm not 
sure the later two would be possible, even "faked," because of the joining 
methods that will work with Ti.  Tig is your only option, I think.  Also, I 
have two Ti bikes.  One is stiff because it's a compact frame, but the 
larger one is VERY flexy which is the much-more common description.  I 
can't see anything in Ti having a Riv-like ride quality, which is typically 
very solid and stiff feeling.

[RBW] Re: Toyo Atlantis Shimmy ???

[iamkeith]

Tony,

I think I may retract some of what I've said above.  I always stress out 
about being an arm-chair mechanic and giving bad advice so, once I've said 
something, I keep going over it in my head and thinking about how I might 
have been wrong.  In this case, I think the added shim is NOT where I 
thought it might be from looking your picture.

I just took a look at my daughter's bike which has the same headset.   
Here's a shot from a slightly different angle than yours, which shows the 
race fully inserted into the headtube.   Viewed from the angle of your 
photo, it does give the appearance of there being a "gap," which I took to 
be a spacer.

So, if they had to add a spacer in order to be able to  tighten the 
locknut, what I'm now thinking is simply that the upper lip of the locknut 
was contacting the top of the steerer tube.   This was probably happening 
all along but, after facing the headtube and removing material, it just got 
worse.   So one of those regular spacers needed to be thicker.  With some 
locknut designs (this one included), there is a pretty small margin of 
error in terms of necessary spacer height:  too many spacers and not enough 
threads will be engaged;  too few spacers, and the locknut will bottom out 
before tightening against the upper cap. Easiest way to figure out how 
many spacers you need is to tighten the locknut *without* spacers, measure 
the gap, and then add spacers that total a couple of mm MORE than that.

Still  If that headset was repeatedly coming loose on you for years, 
then it was likely damaged, and you really should replace it before trying 
anything else.   If it was ovalized or distorted, that could make your 
steering want to "index" to a certain point, which would make it very hard 
to ride no-hands.

Similarly:  This is counter-intuitive but I've heard it mentioned enough 
times that I think there must be something to it:  If a headset is 
tightened slightly TOO MUCH, it will actually make it harder to ride 
no-hands.  You should try loosening it just a bit and experimenting.

Re: [RBW] Leah's Bicycle Bus! (and question)

[Robert Barr]

Leah, I will chime in with some observations from Indianapolis. I live in
an area with several schools that don't provide transportation. A number of
parents, mainly moms, ride back and forth to school with groups of
children. There is a wide variety of bikes and engines. A number of the
moms use old Burley/BOB/... child trailers to carry school stuff. We don't
have any steep hills in the area, but given the amount of gear I see being
transported and the bikes and engines, I think a trailer of some type would
work well for you. Best of luck. Bob

[RBW] Hub area bag/rack mounting hacks

[Jeff Lesperance]

I've finally procured a pair of hub area bags to go with my hub area rack -
jumped on 'em as soon as olive green came back in stock, and I mounted them
up with the included nylon strap. I'm struggling with wanting to improve
the mounting solution in some way - it's not necessary, but I love trying
to make things work differently - sometimes different = better and
sometimes different = I kept myself occupied working on this thing and
that's good enough.

I've played around with multiple nylon straps, d-rings, mini-carabiners,
paracord and assorted clips. Have any of you tried anything besides a
single nylon strap looped through and snugged down? What's worked and what
hasn't?

[RBW] Re: Leah's Bicycle Bus! (and question)

[Corwin]

I agree with Mark. A trailer is the best solution. Keeps the weight low 
(can't get lower than a trailer), is more stable than panniers, and can be 
attached and detached in a matter of seconds if you get a trailer like the 
Burley Nomad. I had one for sale recently for half the price of a new one. 
I bought mine several years back and carried many loads of groceries home 
in it. It even held several loads with power tools. And a trailer will make 
your whole group safer with it's orange flag flying about head height.
