[Hugh Smitham]

This came off my A. Homer Hilsen well under 500 miles more like 200 miles. 
Lots of life left. My preference would be to sell the whole group to one 
buyer. I've priced it all out individually but here's my group price 
excluding the Portola bars. $300 shipped CONUS
If you want the bars too I'll knock some off there too.  If you need the 
Crank and BB $130 shipped CONUS.

Cross Posting this on the iBoB Group.

 The Nigel Smythe small saddle bag is missing one of the attachment

Re: [RBW] Silver 2 shifters

[Lungimsam]

I have really enjoyed my Silver bar end and also the Silver DT shifters. So 
elegant. So smooth shifting.

Looking forward to checking these out!

Re: [RBW] Silver 2 shifters

[Grant Petersen]

They'll be good replacements, yep. The ghost shifts--up in the mid and
upper range, it may take two clicks to lock the gear in. It works...but it
can be a challenge. I doubt I'll change my CLEMshifters, but they are a
transitional species, maybe.

Re: [RBW] Silver 2 shifters

So can the S2s be used as a replacement for the stock shifters that came on 
the Clems? My wife has a Clementine that she just LOVES, but the stock 
shifters have always given lots of "ghost" shifts, as discussed on this 
list some time back. I would sure like to replace the shifters with 
something that would be mounted in the same place for easy shifting, but 
that would not have the problems.

Re: [RBW] Saturday in Indiana

The ride was good - as always. The Fall molds make my eyes water, itch, and
turn several shades of red - even with allergy medicine. My physician tells

beautiful ride! Bob

Re: [RBW] Saturday in Indiana

[Robert Barr]

DP would certainly have noted the relatively clean appearance! The trail
that I ride to get to the trail in the picture is a tow path that is topped
with ":dusty 12s", a finely ground limestone/dolomite aggregate that sets
up like cement, and eats drive trains. My defense is fairly frequent
washing of all exposed parts. . Bob

Great to hear!  Yep, if you crimp the wire too tight, it cuts of the flow of

Re: [RBW] Re: my sp dynamo hub is unreliable

[Tim Gavin]

I have a PD-8, and it has worked flawlessly.  I also have a couple different 
Shimano dynamos that work great as well.


Have you checked the wire for missing insulation, which could cause a short?  

I ask because I had a malfunction recently on another of my bikes (my Schwinn 
KOM, with a Shimano DH-T780 hub and B Cyo Premium).  

My light wouldn't turn on, no matter the switch position. However, I did notice 
it flashed on when I shifted the front derailleur!?  Turns out, when I changed 
the FD cable, I accidentally ran it atop the wire to my taillight. The cable 
rubbed through the insulation and caused the lighting system to short against 
the steel frame.

Easily fixed, thankfully.

I've also had the wires pull themselves out of the plug that connects to the 
dynamo.

Check your wires and connections thoroughly.

Best of luck,
Tim

[RBW] Re: my sp dynamo hub is unreliable

My SP hub has been in near daily use in rain, snow, sun, dust, for a year 
now with flawless performance. 
Perhaps your wire contacts are imperfect?

Re: [RBW] Silver 2 shifters

[dougP]

Will the S2 be able to be mounted either conventionally up top on flat bars 
or on the inside as you've done lately?  Seems like the ratchet mech would 
allow more mounting freedom than say Shimano on Paul's thumbies.

I have an ancient pair of BarCons that have never been disassembled & still 
function well.  Glad you won that internal debate regarding user 
serviceability.  How many of us regret opening something up, only to have 
tiny bits go bouncing under the workbench?

[RBW] Re: RBW Cassettes from IRD

[Bill in Roswell GA]

Looks like Soma has the 12-32.

According to IRD website, they are no longer making the 12-32, only 12-30 
and 12-34.

I need to know such things as I just rebuilt my 20 year old MTB 9 speed! 

Cheers,

[RBW] Re: Helmets... what do you like?

[Chris Halasz]

A function I like not mentioned much here is for a helmet that does not make 
the hair on your head too strange after its removal. 

The three bands of styrofoam with thin foam padding that run from forehead to 
crown, common on many large vent racer type helmets, make my hair look really 
strange really quickly. 

The Giro Sutton distorts my hair the least of many models I've tried. 

It also provides plenty of protection from the sun. 

I use the Sutton year-round in Tucson. 

Cheers, 

Chris

[RBW] RBW Cassettes from IRD

[ted]

I have one I bought a year or more ago. It's a 12-34 that starts with 
12,13,14,16 which is not common at all. I've really liked the gearing it gives 
me. Sadly I fear they didn't sell that well and perhaps RBW dropped the 
project. I hope they will return before I wear mine out.

Re: [RBW] Saturday in Indiana

[Patrick Moore]

What nicer a way to spend a Fall day than to ride through a Fall landscape?
I hope your ride was as enjoyable as mine this afternoon (though I ended up
riding more pavement than dirt -- still, nice pavement in beautiful Fall
neighborhoods).

I don't know if I like Fall or Spring better. Both are beautiful. At least
Fall doesn't have all the pollens.

[RBW] RBW Cassettes from IRD

[John Hawrylak]

A few months ago the RBW website advertised 9 spd cassettes from IRD in 
sizes not commonly available.  Now, there is only the standard 
Shimano/Srams on the site. 

Does anyone know what happened???   The idea sounded good and their write 
up was convincing.

[RBW] WTB: Dynamo Wheel

[Kieran J]

Hi all:

I am looking for a used 700c Dynamo wheel for a project. I'd prefer a Shimano 
or SP hub and a wide rim, like Dyad or Mavic A319.

Going on a winter commuter, so nothing fancy please. Colour and condition 
negotiable.

Please direct message me if you have something. Thanks!

KJ

[RBW] Saturday in Indiana

[Robert Barr]

It is a beautiful Fall day in Indiana, perfect for a ride on a favorite
trail. I miss Deacon Patrick's pictures of his Hunqapillar along a Colorado
trail, so I will post one of mine along an Indiana trail. Bob

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

[John M]

Thanks for the all the positive responses everyone.  It was a good and 
challenging trip for me and I'm glad that it resonated with a few of you as 
well.  

I'm not sure about that "recording prohibited" sign.  Guess I never thought 
too much about it.  I assumed the Forest Service was trying to prevent 
playback devices which can be used to located birds or other animals, but 
are generally considered a sort of wildlife harassment.  Maybe they are 
trying to prevent the commercial use of public lands without the 
appropriate permits.  Not sure, really.

The weather was fantastic!  Highs in the upper 70s or mid 80s depending on 
the day and elevation.  Low temps in the 50s.  Had a great lightning storm 
in the Chiricahuas on my last night there with thunder reverberating 
throughout the canyon and only a little rain to keep the night cool.  Winds 
were persistent, but not too bad-- mostly out of the east and southeast 
which actually gave me some assistance up the worst of the hills.

[RBW] Re: Silver 2 shifters

[Garth]

As for durability of the shifters, if they are as good as the original they 
should be great. I still use the original ST thumbies that came with my '83 
Stumpjumper on one bike and another pair on the Bombadil, they both work as 
great as great can be. I agree with Grant that you gotta wonder why any 
other kind of shifter was ever made, other than to be "other than". 

 Sure, you can take them apart but there is nothing to do in there anyways. 
So I don't see how not being user dismantled is an issue.I hope the new 
ones still have the on-the-fly-no-screwdriver-needed adjustment screw on 
top though.

  The band on the original was one "weak" spot though, as with age and many 
times being adjusted and all, I have had 2 clamps break(the ends). 
Fortunately, I found some replacements on ebay  yeh, you didn't know 
they existed until there they are, staring you in the face, Swt . 

 I look forward to the Riv ones because well, I can never have enough bikes 
to put them on :)  

  FWIW, I have shifted the same way since I first had a bike the could be 
shifted manually, it was a Fuji-something 10 speed that I bought from a 
doctor in the late 70's. Later on, I worked in a bike shop assembling and 
repairing bikes when the whole indexed thing was becoming big.  As I test 
rode the new bikes, I thought "indexed shifting, hmmm, okay, but I already 
know how to shift". So that was the end of that . hey, the feel, sound 
and motion of shifting is as beautiful as any other art .

Re: [RBW] Commuting reflections and portfolio

[WETH]

Patrick,
As usual, I agree with Sheldon Brown!
I do love the Art Deco style of the Chancery.  My commute concludes at one of 
the schools on the grounds of the National Cathedral.  I begin near Wheaton, 
MD.  Cycling infrastructure has improved greatly since the 1980s, but not along 
Wisconsin Avenue where I ride.  The hours I commute allow me to take the curb 
lane, free of parked cars, and only play dodge-em with the metro buses.  Most 
drivers avoid traveling in the curb lanes I've found, and most bus drivers are 
considerate.  Connecticut Avenue north of the district line presents the most 
challenge.
Enjoy your dirt road adventure to and from the store.
All the best,
Erl

Re: [RBW] Commuting reflections and portfolio

[Patrick Moore]

Eloquent. As Sheldon Brown said, commuting cyclists are the really
*serious* cyclists,
and cycle commuting makes what would otherwise be a very annoying chore
into a mini adventure -- at least, I find that so.

I see your route takes you by the Washington National Cathedral. 30 years
ago I lived in the Chancery apartments just catty corner across the street
from the cathedral. What are your termini a quo and ad quem? (Starting and
end points?) I never bike commuted in the district, but I did ride in it,
and I hope the infrastructure for cyclists is better now than it was in say
1986. I gather from your route description and photos that it is.

And, nice bikes. The Cheviot has the most elegantly wrapped chainstay and
kickstand I've ever seen.

Patrick Moore, about to turn a grocery store trip into a mini minor dirt
road cycling adventure in pleasantly Fall ABQ, NM.

Re: [RBW] Silver 2 shifters

[Conway Bennett]

G,

Have you solved the wimpy plastic washer issue?  Maybe a thick hard rubber?  I 
remember there were two types of action figures growing up: brittle Gi joes 
who's thumbs broke off and these heartier more maliable super heroes with a 
similar but durable Kung fu grip.  I don't know why silvers 1s trigger this 
memory but that's where my mind goes.  In any case, I learned my lesson and 
stocked up as I have silver 1s on noodles and cycle thru them and chalk it up 
to regular maintenance.  

FW,

Re: [RBW] Silver 2 shifters

[Grant @ Rivendell]

The band mated with the chunk and limited it to 22.2 bars, which was fine 
back then. It's fiddly to remove and remount (not t fiddly, but you 
have to remove the lever and go at it with an 8mm socket). NewSilver2 has 
some sort of curly flower thing going on 360-degrees, which lets you angle 
the cable ideally for any orientation. 
Not saying "perfectomundo" here---just saying we've gone about it slowly 
and conscientiously and have rejected at least two "final" versions when we 
found a way to either fix them or improve on something that didn't need an 
actual fix.

I debated internally (didn't leave my personal skull) whether or not to 
make the door to the pawl and spring user serviceable, but in a flareup of 
sanity that might sound disrespectbul, I said No. If or when the mech wears 
out, sell one of your cats and get a new one, Bubba...and in the meantime, 
the rivet will stop most people from digging into something that's best 
left alone. 

It's really a good feeling to see the enthusiasm for this shifter. It is 
really, still, amazing to me that 

(1) all shifters aren't like this, and
(2) since they aren't, since it's such a push-button age when perfect 
performance with no learning is the norm, that we can sell them at all!

What a strange group you are. In a fantastic way!

[RBW] Re: Commuting reflections and portfolio

[Sky Coulter]

Thanks for posting the albums. Both bikes look great.  I took my 650b'd 
Romulus out for a quick ride this morning. I've always enjoyed it, but with 
the wider supply tires, it's just that much better.   Love your cheviot. 
I'd be lusting after one more (and in that awesome green) if I didn't 
already have a bombadil.

[RBW] WTB: Ritchey LOGIC non-drive 170mm crank arm (silver)

[Jock Dewey]

Hey, All:

I'm looking for a left side LOGIC crank arm, 170mm silver in good shape. 
The generation with the sort of 'soft arrow' shape at the top and LOGIC on 
the flatish arm.

I'd be interested if you have one. Thanks so much for looking.

Jock Dewey / Athens, GA

[RBW] Commuting reflections and portfolio

[WETH]

As I spend a beautiful weekend indoors nursing an irritated sciatic nerve, I 
thought I'd write about my bike commute.  My commuting route winds through 
sleepy Washington DC suburban neighborhoods, down hill along a stream, across a 
regional park and creek, up hill under an eight lane intestate highway, along a 
major commuter artery where vehicles travel 40 miles per hour, through quiet 
urban neighborhoods, and finally, 8 miles from home, onto the grounds of the 
worlds 6th largest cathedral.  Departing the house about 6:15am, I cycle in the 
cool predawn air, passing a few joggers and mostly dark homes.  After two and 
half miles of peaceful suburban roads, I join a steady stream of cars.  The 
constant whine and hum of traffic quickens my pace.  Three miles later I slip 
onto quiet neighborhood streets as the sky brightens.  Back on a six lane urban 
road the cathedral beckons in the  distance.  I arrive invigorated for the day! 
 At 5:30pm, I reverse the route as I exercise away the days frustrations and 
mistakes.  The final two and a half miles to my house wind along a creek where 
the roar of traffic grows fainter and dusk settles in as I give thanks for the 
day as I spin contentedly toward home.

Since early April, I have made this ride exclusively on my rehabilitated 
Romulus with albatross bars and a small Saddlesack.  Nimble, quick and 
comfortable, this bike is an extension of my body such that I feel I am in it 
rather than riding on it.  The shorter wheelbase and uptight riding position 
puts me over the rear 35mm tire so I feel the road the way I would in a sports 
car-a bit rough but in command.  

I greet runners, walkers, and cyclists while marveling at how many respond in 
the morning and how relatively few I encounter in the evening.  Kindred souls 
take to the road in the morning darkness.*  I marvel at the politeness and 
courteousness of most drivers.  I wave a hand in thanks much more often than I 
glare or gesture at an inattentive or aggressive driver.  I try to put Mildred 
Norman's words into action: "But, you see, I love people and I see the good in 
them.  And you're apt to reach what you see. The world is like a mirror: If you 
smile at it, it smiles at you. I love to smile, and so in general, I definitely 
receive smiles in return."

Fall's chill is creeping in, and I must layer more clothes.  Soon I will be 
carrying my work clothes while cycling in winter gear  and changing at work.  
To that end the Cheviot is built with rack and large Saddlesack, ready to take 
over as my daily commuter until spring. The Romulus will get cleaned and 
tuned-up to be ready for weekend adventures.

I placed my favorite photos from my 2016 Romulus commutes in a folder:  
https://flickr.com/photos/86975051@N08/sets/72157674823367155 I will add more 
as they occur.

The Cheviot is ready, and I look forward to the beauty of fall and winter 
mornings.   Cheviot photos here: 
https://flickr.com/photos/86975051@N08/sets/72157665232090983

Safe cycling wishes to all,
Erl
*I love the early morning hours, yet I am not a morning person.  Vocational 
obligations and a loathing of heavy traffic get me out the door early on 
weekdays, while weekends find me sleeping later.

I had bar-cons on my Cross Check, it was leaned against the car and the wind 
blew it over.  The rear shifter never worked after that.

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

[WETH]

John,
Congratulations! What a great tour.  Your photos are wonderful.  That is my 
favorite area of the country. Some day the opportunity to cycle through there 
will present itself.  In the meantime, your photos and writ-up will suffice.  
How were the temperatures?
Again,  well done.
Erl

Congrats on such a great adventure! Like others, I'm full of excuses and

Re: [RBW] Quickbeam Sighting

I don't know whose that is, but there are others in the Penn cachement area. 
Keep an eye out for my son's green version, here on the GAP Trail just north of 
Cumberland (on the first Riv Rally East) but now frequently out and about in 
West Phil en route to Temple:  https://flic.kr/p/bBaXWh

Re: [RBW] Silver 2 shifters

[Joe Broach]

So cool! Wish they had "the band." I'm sure the new clamp is 28% better,
but holy cow was that hidden bolt band slick. Always seemed like the
closest thing I owned to constructeur. I wonder if the deuce will have the
same 3 point lever orientation option.

Who cares, though, so happy they're back!

Best,
