FYI, I've found ChainReaction to be cheaper for a lot of items-  depending 
on what Brooks you're looking for, they are cheaper still, free shipping 
over $99usd http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/us/en/saddles?f=4294965973

[RBW] Re: Ride Report-- Mini tour of SW New Mexico and SE Arizona

['Mojo' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Congratulations John for making your adventure happen!  I have been in the 
Chiricahuas just once fighting the Horseshoe2 wildfire in 2011. They are 
special mountains.

I like your thought that you packed for your fears instead of your 
confidence. Your bike bags look small enough, it doesn't appear you 
overpacked to me. I see you took a cookstove. What items, beyond the 
normal items like sleeping bag & tent, worked for you and what would you 
leave behind next time?

Thanks for sharing,

Re: [RBW] Ride Report-- Mini tour of SW New Mexico and SE Arizona

[Patrick Moore]

Kudos, John. You've done something I've wanted to do and which I've
dithered about for years and you set a good example.

I was talking to a wizened old guy at Stevie's yesterday (Wait a minute!
He's my age!) who after establishing himself with his clientelel is able to
put his remodeling business on hold for weeks at a time ride off from his
Corrales doorstep into the NM and CO wilderness loaded with up to 60 lb on
his custom 29er touring machine (Co-motion? Nice bike, if very stout.) He's
told me some wonderful stories -- camping on a small butte in a narrow
valley surrounded by mesas, and while preparing his morning coffee seeing a
sliver of moon peek over a distant mesa, with the sun coming up behind it.

We've got some good gravel and dirt riding in the Jemez mountains starting
about 50 miles from my door; the only problem is that these 50 miles are
along a 80 mph 4 lane and then up a very narrow and winding 2 lane until
you get to the turnoff, where the network of old logging roads begin.

[RBW] Re: Ride Report-- Mini tour of SW New Mexico and SE Arizona

[John M]

Patrick-- the RailRunner is your friend.  Roll your bike onto the train, 
get off at the Santo Domingo stop and the Jemez is a short spin away. 
 Years ago I lived near Madrid and rode over into the Jemez from the 
southeast corner through the Dixon Apple Orchard.  Good riding there.

Mojo-- you'd be interested to see the post-fire condition of the mountains. 
 The drainages took a serious beating during the monsoon floods, but seem 
to be recovering nicely.  Rustler Park looks good-- though it is now a high 
altitude grassland instead of forest.To answer your question about 
gear-- I have been backpacking for probably 20 years, so my outdoor kit is 
pretty refined and basic.  Stove, fuel, one pot for boiling and eating out 
of, water purification tablets instead of a filter and a multitool-- that's 
about the extent of the camping gear (plus tent, bag, pad).  But, my 
confidence about mechanical failures and improvised bicycle repair is less 
squared away.  I probably took too many spare bits and tools anticipating 
the break-downs that never came.  I could have gotten by with one spare 
tube instead of two.  What I left behind and should have brought was chain 
lube-- after about 200 miles of dust my chain was pretty vocal.

[RBW] Re: Interrupter levers on Bosco bars

[Marc Irwin]

I've been using the Bosco's since they were introduced and use that 
position on the flats everytime I ride.  It's good against the wind and for 
more nimble high speed descents and maneuvers.

[RBW] Re: Ride Report-- Mini tour of SW New Mexico and SE Arizona

If you remain on federal, state or county roads-- then no.  Tribal roads? 
 Not sure.  I've gone into the Jemez through Cochiti Pueblo owned lands on 
state and county roads and never had an issue.

John, I love your write-up, and I can especially relate to this, "*didn’t 
have the right bike, too hot, too windy, too little water, not enough time, 
not in good enough shape, not safe to go alone, and on and on and on." *Though 
not into the wilds, but alone, I'm hoping to ride the C&O in spring, 
self-supported. Thanks for the photos.

Bump. Anymore feedback? Trying to decide between my spare Synergy set or GB

[RBW] Re: Machined vs non-machined rims

[Eric Karnes]

I had a set of 650b A23s set up with Riv Silver Brakes. They were nice, but 
honestly not significantly better than my (non-machined) C-18s in terms of 
braking. Unless you think the braking performance is bordering on 
dangerous, I would just go with the Synergys you already have and see if 
you can improve things a bit with brake setup/pads/etc.

[RBW] Silver 2 shifters

[Bill Lindsay]

The BLUG has a long write up and description of the Silver 2 shifters.  One 
big take home is the Silver 1 shifter mold is shot, so those will be going 
away.  So, if you love Silver shifters, stock up now.  The Silver 2 looks 
like it'll be a way better thumb shifter, a somewhat better barcon shifter, 
and an amusingly ironic downtube shifter.  Most importantly (to me), is 
that if you want to embolden Rivendell Bicycle Works to keep putting their 
money where their brains are, then reward them by buying a pair or two of 
Silver 2's and put them into your personal inventory.  When the need 
arises, get them from your stock.  If Riv gets a lot of early adopters 
buying them, then they'll have the confidence and the money to make the 
next part that you can't get anywhere else.  Grant tells you on the BLUG 
how to get on an email list for updates on the Silver 2.

[RBW] Re: Machined vs non-machined rims

[Bill Lindsay]

Eric is right.  Use your Synergies, make the best of it, and enjoy 
yourself.  Machined sidewall rims are a little better in the rain, in my 
experience.  That said, rim brakes always perform worse in the rain.  If 
you go a long time between uses, and grab the brakes when you need to stop, 
like NOW, the feeling is almost that the brakes make you speed up.  Brake 
early.  If you are in a scenario where you can anticipate needing to use 
the brakes (like on a descent or in town or in a group), consider the 
technique of frequently using your brakes very lightly to squeegee some of 
the water off.  When it is raining, also congratulate yourself by 
meditating on Rule #9.

 The attraction of the GB rims is that they auto seat compass tires. No 
massaging necessary. I could get the machined A23 set But then I would have to 
pay for a whole new wheelset 500 bucks. Maybe I'll just switch from the 
yokozuna pads to cool stops and Swiss stops and see what happens with all my 
existing rims.

Switchback hills on Synergy rims seated just fine for me (much better than 
hetres). They measure about 42mm stretched for about a month or two. I can 
take a digital caliper measurement at whichever pressure you'd like.

[RBW] Re: Ride Report-- Mini tour of SW New Mexico and SE Arizona

[dougP]

John:

Thanks for the report & photos.  It's great that you took the time to 
document your trip.  I was puzzled by the sign prohibiting recording 
devices.  Cameras? Videos? Sound recording?  Having the backpacking 
experience sounds like an excellent background for being in such wild 
country.  The notion of "packing for my fears..." is interesting but given 
the amount of stuff on your bike it doesn't look like you are too fearful. 
I refer to "defensive packing" when someone tries to cover every 
contingency & ends up with 80 lbs of stuff lashed to their bike.

[RBW] Re: Silver 2 shifters

[William R.]

I put myself on the email list and will be getting at least two pairs of 
these for sure! Not that I really need them so much, but just for putting 
that money up for their effort, it's a good effort and I don't want things 
like this to go away. I suppose one pair will replace the thumbies that 
came stock on the Appaloosa. Not that I have any problems with them, but 
the new Silver 2's will be a nice upgrade, and the old ones will trickle 
onto my station bike. The other pair of Silver 2's? For display purposes 
until a use comes along.

[dougP]

The new shape looks especially elegant.  I can see a pair of these on the 
upright bars on my Atlantis.  That old Suntour ratchet provides just the 
right tactile feedback while still working with any number of speeds.  I 
still have an ancient pair of Bar-Cons that work perfectly after decades of 
use.  I expect the Silver 2s to perform similarly.

[RBW] Re: Silver 2 shifters

[Garth]

  Funny how "old" stuff keeps getting re-done  !   I still use ST thumbies 
and have since they came out on the early 80's. Yep, this design is best 
for thumbies.  This improves on the ST clamp design in a major way, win-win 
!

Long overdue, his lyrics have done more to popularize poetic techniques 
than anybody in history.

[RBW] Re: PSA: b17 select sale at bike-discount.de

[Sky Coulter]

Actually, i ended up buying a second b17 select. It's just too tempting a price 
to pass up.

[RBW] Re: Bob Dylan wins Nobel

[Christopher Murray]

I thinking Dylan is a great, insightful, out-of-the-box choice. It makes the 
Nobel Committee look smart, hip, and relevant. BUT passing over Roth to give it 
to Dylan is just crazy. If Roth passes away before he can win or they just 
never give it to him, Dylan's win (and Roth's non-win) will make the award a 
bit of a joke. 

Cheers,
Chris

[RBW] Re: Can we talk about Riv bike sizing again?

[masmojo]

The other thing to keep in mind is that the Hunqapillar is more offroad 
oriented and typically you need to allow yourself a little more standover 
because you are more likely to be stopping on uneven surfaces or pedaling and 
moving around while standing on the pedals.
