[RBW] Re: Off topic question: portable cd players

[Bill M.]

How small do you really need?  Any DVD player will play audio CD's and some 
of them are pretty compact.  Google says you should be able to pick one up 
at Target or Walmart in the $30 range.  I'd rather use a player designed 
for domestic use than a portable, if only for the remote control.

These days I rip all of my CD's, store the files on a small laptop and 
stream them to the stereo via wifi.

[RBW] Riv riders in Richmond today (MLK Rich City Ride)

[BSWP]

It was a treat not only to see so many bicyclists turn out for the Rich 
City Rides event today (were we 70? 80?), but also to see so many Rivendell 
riders. A fun time, slow to get rolling like all rides, but good company 
and an especially important cause. Now more than ever...

Re: [RBW] Re: ISO: 54-55cm frame; lugged; canti brakes.

IgorMatt C has a 23"1987 Voyaguer and the TT is probably the same as a Passage.  The 21" Voyaguer has a 54.4cm TTL.    The 1982 catalog shows tables fro Standard and custom Paramount Touring models.  The TTL increase 1 to 1-1/2" for a frame size change of 2", fro 21 to 23".  So the TTL on a 23" may only be 25 to 38mm longer than a 21".  May be worthwhile to ask on the list for someone having a 23" Passage. Besides components, the only difference was the fork material, Cr-Moly (V) vs 1010 (P).  Probably not much change in the ride.  Catalog weight was 2 lbs more on the Passage, again not much.John HawrylakWoodstown NJ  On 01/16/17, Belopsky wrote: Is that right?

I found this product and used it to make the tired paint on an older bike look 
a lot better:

https://www.amazon.com/Wipe-New-Rust-oleum-R6PCRTLKIT-Applicator/dp/B0160VUYF8 

 

$18 on Amazon, and it’s super easy to use. It would certainly add a layer of 
protection to a brass bell.

I have Crane Karen on 5 bikes.  They all come coated, but the lacquer 
essentially evaporates away.  The more you rub them, and the more time they 
spend in the elements, the sooner it goes.

[George Schick]

Thanks for all the replies.  I did a bit of snooping around on the Web 
myself and came across a product made by Everbrite called ProtectaClear 
that looks to be exactly what y'all described only with a higher silicon 
oxide content just as Bill says.  What's kinda interesting is that I have 2 
or 3 of these bells on different bikes and only this one seems to be 
unprotected; the others definitely have been coated with a sealer.  Begs 
the question, why would they offer a brass product like these bells that is 
obviously going to get exposed to all kinds of variable environmental 
conditions without sealing it?

BTW, Bill, I thought about possible "beausage" repercussions before I 
posted this issue, but as you say, I felt it was beyond regular wear and 
tear and belonged in the unkempt category.  Others may have different 
views...

[RBW] FS- older Lewis and Clark trail maps - now FREE for postage

[M D Smith]

Ok - no takers...

I don't want to throw these out.  They are now free for postage.  Should be 
$6.45.  

I'm going to the PO tomorrow.  If anyone wants them and can get me PayPal by 
mid day tomorrow they are yours.

-Mike

Original post:
"Hello- 

I have some older (2005) Adventure Cycling Lewis and Clark trail maps.  I ended 
up never taking the trip.  They are obviously outdated, but I believe ACA has 
updates on their website, and if someone lives or visits up there, they may 
show you some good routes to ride. 

I have maps 3 to 7, from Pierre, South Dakota to Astoria, Oregon. 

ACA sells the current ones for over 15 bucks each.  I'm looking for $20 plus 
shipping for all five, which should be $6.45 USPS. 

I'm moving and don't want to cart them around any more and don't want to 
recycle them either. 

Cheers- Mike"

[RBW] FS: LN VO Touring Pedals + Stainless Toe-Clips + Straps

[Jack K]

Hey Riv-folk,

I have a set of very new VO touring pedals that are surplus to my needs and 
hoping someone here can use them. They have very few miles on the, maybe a 
couple hundred. The only sign of use is some scratches on the very tip of 
the top of the toe clip, where they touched the ground before the pedals 
was flipped right-side up when starting after a stop. The set includes the 
following (with VO website pricing in paren's):

   - VO Touring Pedals ($55) -- super smooth sealed bearings
   - VO Laminated Toestraps ($25) -- near perfect color match to a honey 
   Brooks
   - VO Stainless Toe-clips ($13) -- genuine shiny metal

All this pedal goodness totals $93 from VO. Looking for $55 + $5 shipping 
to anywhere in the ConUS.


Cheers and safe riding!

[RBW] Re: Brass Bells

[iamkeith]

That's actual "patina" for a change, as opposed to "beausage," so i suppose 
it's ok to get rid of it.  

+1 for krylon.  Brass home hardware is just lacquer coated to stay bright.

[RBW] Hunq-ish Romanceur build with Riv Bullmoose bars

[Philip Kim]

If you got the money no reason not go Paul's, but TRPs are lighter and have 
dual action calipers which can be adjusted separately. Provides more even wear, 
and you're not essentially bending the rotor to one arm to stop. It can also be 
easily adjusted by the cable barrel adjuster as pads wear. So would go TRPs for 
ease of adjustment, lighter, and even pad wear which puts it ahead but not by 
much. But it's really ahead of Paul's because it's also 1/3 the cost.

[RBW] Re: Hunq-ish Romanceur build with Riv Bullmoose bars

[Zach Duval]

I waffled a bit between the two, honestly, but chose the Romanceur for its road 
to trail capability. I'm building it up first as a MTB (inspired by Benedict's 
proto), mostly because I've long been curious to try the Bullmooses for trail 
riding, but it'll likely evolve into more of a roadish trail bike. I wanted 
that versatility, and as a lighter rider (145 pounds or so), I figured the plus 
tires aren't necessary.

[RBW] Re: Easiest way to transport Saluki on Southwest

[Bill Ruprecht]

I would use bike flights. i travel frequently and this is how my Riv 
accompanies me. If you check it on the flight, TSA can open up and inspect 
and my experience with this is they NEVER get it closed up properly. I 
don't trust them.

Bike Flights uses FedEx and you can select a FedEx Office location to ship 
it to "hold for pickup"

My 2 cents

[RBW] Off topic question: portable cd players

[Garth]

How funny indeed when even the cd player seems to be "relagated" to cheapo 
status.  Indeed .everything "new" seems to kinda suck ! Ahahahaahaha. 

And yes, there is relavence here, it is like the relagating steel in favor of 
carbon because it is "supposed" to be "better", or ditching friction shifting 
because indexed is supposed to be "better". Disc brakes supposed to be 
"better" you get the idea, it never ends, and ironically, neither can you 
find where it began. 


Yeah I would check eprey or maybe etsy.  Remember too, you pulg in any cd 
player that has a headphone output to your powered speakers, be it the small 
personal kind, a boombox or even home cd player. Whatever you have.

[RBW] Easiest way to transport Saluki on Southwest

['Tim' via RBW Owners Bunch]

I don't know what the fee is on Southwest, but I think Rinko usually puts the 
bike in a soft case, which would seem pretty risky. Often times an LBS will 
have a hard case that they may rent to you. Or they could box it for you or 
sell a regular cardboard bike box. Or since it's domestic, the cheapest option 
may be to box and ship to an LBS via BikeFlights. I'm guessing that would be 
cheaper than airline fees.

[RBW] Re: ghost shifting and the clementine

[Garth]

Seems to from using friction shifting forever that a larger diameter shifter, 
like the mountain bike/SunTour thumbshifters , are less prone to loosening.  
The smaller road/SunTour Sprint style were always requiring slight 
retightening. The only time I seem to need to adjust the ST large thumbies is 
at the change of seasons sometimes with much different density of air. When Riv 
showed they were making a new shifter that looked like the old I assumed it was 
going to be a larger diameter like the original mtb style, but the innards are 
the same as the road. Oil well

Sky, I would use those Falcon shifters first before you buy anything else. 
Sure, the ratchet is plastic inside but so what, I bet it will stay put. I have 
both the Falcon and Sunrace thumbies as backups, but have never needed them as 
my ST pairs just keep working.
