[RBW] Re: Hunqapillar 650B impressions

[twowheeledtexan]

Keith,
No problem. Just eyeballing it with fenders/rack installed using calipers it 
looks like about 20mm clearance at the fork and also brake bridge. About 28mm 
or so at the chainstay fender mount.

AWESOME bike! Your gonna love it! Worth every penny of the price you paid for 
it IMHO. I find the second hand market on Rivs kinda strange price wise, seems 
like it brings all  the skinflint types out, at least has been my experience 
when trying to sell a used Rivendell.  But back the bike congrats and I  
totally agree your size great condition worth it!

Also, I forgot to mention the seat post troubles I had. I assumed it took a 
27.2, but that didn't fit, so I inserted a 26.8 and went riding. After a 40 
miler I noticed my saddle had dropped several cms. I readjusted and went off 
again. During a 50 miler consisting of half gravel and single track, I could 
barely ride 10 mins without having to stop and raise the saddle. After 1.5 hrs 
of that I was steamed, and when we stopped for lunch I called Rivendell. I 
vented my frustrations to an unsuspecting Will, who calmly explained that some 
of the frames had been reamed to a different diameter and mine probably needed 
a 27.0 post. Will said he was sending me a new Nitto post and some additional 
binder bolts free of charge. Well that shut me up real quick, and although 
irritated I was grateful for the customer service. The 27.0 post fit like a 
charm and I replaced the binder bolt since I broke the original one trying to 
tighten it down too much. 

Moral, if you buy one of these have Rivendell double check the seat tube, and 
also be appreciative of a small shop that does their best to take care of us. 

I called Will a couple weeks later to thank him, he acted like it was no big 
deal, but it meant a lot to me and I expressed that.

Thanks much.  I was just going to clarify my question, but it might be tough to 
answer anyway, with fenders in place.  The thing i'm most curious about is the 
vertical clearance between tire tread and bottom of crown.  On the 700c/29er 
hunqapillar forks, that dimension is oddly the limiting one, in terms of how 
big a tire can be fit (at least with frnders). Almost like the fork blades are 
maxed out and couldn't be made any longer. Was wondering if, by going to 650b, 
they were able to get a little more wiggle room.

Thanks for posting!  Also for including your saddle height. So much more 
useful.  I'd been actively watching for pictures of one of these on Riv's pages 
but, since i hadn't seen one, figured none had been built yet.  Very glad not 
to see a diagatube.  Any chance you could take a couple of pictures of the tire 
clearace at the fork crown and chainstay areas? Congrats, by the way.

It's a really nice bike, Chris, in a color and size that's getting pretty rare. 
I'm sure you parted with a little more cash than you'd planned, but in a year 
you won't have a care in the world about that part, and you'll still have a 
lovely Quickbeam. Enjoy!

Hey Wally,

Im not clear on what you are concerned about, and my bike is a SO instead 
of a QB, but I've got a 44t ring at ~42mm chain line on a short (107?) PW 
bottom bracket. No problem with clearance, if that helps at all.

[RBW] Re: Tires for HHH tandem

[Ray Varella]

Tandems have some ratty significant advantages over singles in terms of 
headwinds, crosswinds, downhills and general cruising. 
A sturdier tire will not handicap general riding, especially on the 
cruiser/bomber type tandem the HHH will be. 

The tandem I've owned for many years has both a caliper and a drum brake, 
making fixing rear flats a fair amount more of a hassle than on a typical 
single. 

Personally, I would opt for a 55-60mm tirefrom a company like Schwalbe over a 
Compass tire. 
I definitely would avoid the extra light casing compass tires for just about 
any tandem. 
I think you are entering the territory of diminishing returns. Ask any stoker 
how much they feel bumps on the rear of the tandem. 
They are just subjected to significantly higher loads than a sporty single. 

Even on old Schwinn cruiser tandems with stock Schwinn cruiser tires, you could 
really get moving with two very average riders. 

My humble opinion would suggest a tire more in line with the design of the HHH.

Well I will step forward and admit I bought this bike.  I had already been 
watching it when this thread started and later had an offer in when it was 
being discussed here regarding price. I can tell you that the seller was not at 
all open to negotiations.  Sent in an offer at 7% off the asking price and he 
never responded in any fashion either way.   Do the offer expired.  Still 
haven't heard from him after the purchase a day ago so we shall see 

Hopefully I will end up with a happy purchase.

[RBW] Re: Tires for HHH tandem

[Bill Lindsay]

I picked up my tandem wheelset today.  I have a set of Pacenti Quasi Moto 
knobbies that I used to run on a Bombadil and that are too big for any of 
my 650B bikes today.  I'm going to use those for starters.

[RBW] Re: Shipping

[Bill Lindsay]

I don't think that is ebay offering you expedited shipping for $300. 
 That's a particular seller setting his own shipping policies.  Him setting 
expedited shipping arbitrarily high is his way to get you to take his 
standard shipping.  He probably forgot how to remove shipping options. 
 Anyway that $16 price makes Rivendells $10 price look pretty good.  I get 
it that you have to choose $16 shipped over $19 shipped, but if you could 
have pulled together an order that gets you free shipping from Rivendell, 
their pricing on many small parts are pretty darn good.

Re: [RBW] Re: Shipping

[David Hallerman]

Reminds me of my most memorable eBay auction win.

That was for a yellow 1993 Bridgestone RB-1. And the seller lived two blocks 
away from me in Brooklyn (although we had never met).

So, about 15 minutes after the auction ended - early evening - the seller came 
over to my apartment with the bike.

Free shipping too!

[RBW] Tires for HHH tandem

[René Sterental]

Since today I paid for my tandem wheel set that Rich built, I've started
thinking about tires for the tandem. Being a Compass tires fan, their best
option is the 650b 48mm  Switchback Hill.

I wonder if tires for a tandem have some specific requirements vs. tires
for a regular bike that I'm not aware of. There would also be the
consideration of the casing, standard vs. extra-light. All my Compass tires
are extra-light and I just love them.

Any suggestions, feedback or insights?

This will be my first tandem ever.

Dignity."  HIs critical view of the "autonomous man" and the ambiguous way 
people are given credits for their achievements hit the bricks just as 
Western culture was beginning to champion "rugged individualism" and 
praising any human activity no matter how well or poorly they might be 
done.  He flew in the face of these things in a heavy handed kind of way 
causing much of his great work to be considered second rate by the 
prevailing philosophies.  A shame in many ways; much of what is badly done 
in our educational system, etc. could have been avoided had we followed his 
direction.

[RBW] Re: Quickbeam chainline w/ PW freewheel?

My QB has a Phil freewheel flip hub and the chain line works perfectly. I 
can't speak to the metrics and if they match what you mentioned or not.

We're on the same page, Valerie, I like pedaling and I ride for fun. The 
exercise is good, too, but I came to bicycles from being a car/motorcycle guy, 
and have always been into it as much for the mechanical aspect of bikes as for 
the riding itself (I taught myself how to work on them).

My kitted Appaloosa is low-power/low-weight, and a good portion of those rides 
is spent without using the button. My new  - and very off topic! - mid-drive 
ebike is a pedelec like your setup, where you pedal with varying levels of 
assist.. there's no throttle you can stab and just sail down the road like a 
scooter. I prefer this "still a bicycle" style.

[RBW] Re: Rivendell e-bike (conversion)

[Valerie Yates]

Thanks for the welcome Joe. Since I do really like pedaling, my main 
hesitation was that it would feel like cheating. But I rationalize it by 
reminding myself that I ride for pleasure not for exercise. This is 
definitely a pleasure. I did wonder if it would ever arrive. It took 
exactly 3 years. I sent a few email inquiries over the years and they kept 
assuring me I would have one eventually.  A benefit of ordering early was 
that it was substantially less expensive than it is now. I still think it 
is worth it at the current price. It provides a really nice assist.

[RBW] Re: Grant's Other Book

[Ray Varella]

Hmmm, perhaps years ago when the book was written, Skinner may have been 
misunderstood but in today's world he is widely regarded (relatively speaking) 
as bringing the practice of operant conditioning to the mainstream practice of 
working with animals and people with extreme learning disabilities. 

You can thank two of his phd students for that. 
Keller and Marion Breland left their studies to open ABE which trained 
thousands of animals for all sorts of work. If you ever saw a dancing chicken 
at a fair or a pig in a Purina commercial, it was likely trained at ABE. 
Bob Bailey was an employee of theirs and later married Marion after Keller 
passed. Bob Bailey still speaks publicly on occasion and is well worth seeing 
if you get the opportunity. He worked for the military prior to joining ABE and 
worked marine mammals, birds etc... prior to the development of guided misses 
they trained pigeons to peck at a screen to keep missles on course, Ravens to 
fly into buildings to steal top secret papers, dolphins to place electronic 
jamming devices on enemy ships and much more. 
Marion eventually returned to her studies and went on to apply their training 
principles to children with autism as well as other disorders. 

Until I just read that Skinner was misunderstood, it never crossed my mind, 
then again, I've read some of his work but never encountered much in the way of 
hearsay. 

No matter how cognizant you are of the tenets of operant conditioning, Pavlov 
is always on your shoulder.

[RBW] Quickbeam chainline w/ PW freewheel?

[Wally Estrella]

Hi Folks:

I've seen numerous pictures of QBs with Phil Wood hubs on them, but can't 
recall if it was fixed or freewheel.  From what I understand the fixed side 
of the PW track hub is 42.  The freewheel hub is 46.

Is 46 chainline on a QB an issue from dropout to BB/chain stay clearances? 
 I'm using a single ring up front @ 40t ring and thinking of upping it to a 
44 w/ a new PW freewheel on the rear.


Thanks,
Wally

Re: [RBW] New tires, perhaps?

[Jim Bronson]

It looks like a really nice day.  The last time I wore a tire down to the
casing, I got a flat and I was on a 200K far from anywhere with weather in
the mid-30s and drizzle.  I had a spare LoupLoup Pass tire in my bag, but
still, having to take off my lobster gloves to change it in the cold
drizzle was pretty miserable.

The moral of this story is to check your tires frequently.  It's not always
going to be a nice day when it fails.

[RBW] Re: Grant's Other Book

[Jim M.]

I bought those books when I first moved to Oakland in 1989. They were a 
great resource and I've ridden pretty much every road in them. You can find 
used copies on Amazon for $.01 + $3.95 shipping. Still a good source for 
rides, though the pigs are long gone from Pig Farm Hill.

Ryan! Have we gotten to see photos of your bike all built up? How dreamy - 
don't deny us this pleasure for long. Do let's hear all about it when you get 
riding. You said it's glorious and splendid - would love to hear more about 
what makes it so. Meanwhile, I'm going to let this idea of a second mixte 
percolate in my mind.

Also, I wonder who got version 1.0? Lucky duck.

Valerie: That's a neat bike (my apologies to Denmark for calling it "a Dutch 
wheel"..I'm not very smart). It's nice to see the Copenhagen Wheel finally hit 
the market; I imagine you were wondering if it would ever show up. I'm on the 
fence about them making the thing in bright red, but it looks perfect on your 
red Rosco. Welcome to The Cheater Rivs Club!

Thanks Alex,  yeah my wife's medium Clementine is going to get a tryout
with the Yepp very soon, it might be the happy compromise.  My Saluki and
Bombadil are just about the same TT length as the XO3 so I don't think they
are of much use in the knee situation.  Going up higher would also work
though, I'll have to take a look at that even on the XO as I'm sure I could
tolerate the bars a bit higher.

[RBW] Re: Rivendell e-bike (conversion)

[Valerie Yates]

I have the Roscoe with a Copenhagen Wheel 
that was featured in the 
blahg recently. It is fantastic. I wasn't really sure I wanted an e-bike 
but I had ordered the wheel a few years ago pre-production because it 
sounded like a cool idea. When it finally arrived, I didn't have a frame to 
put it on but the Red Roscoe frame looked perfect. I sent the wheel to 
Walnut Creek and they put this together 
for me. I 
have since changed the saddle and pedals to some I bought on this list 
(thanks Richard!) and also added a Wald medium basket in front and I have 
grocery baskets in back as needed.  

I love it. It is a fantastic combination. It is so much fun to ride - 
extremely intuitive and natural. I love that there aren't any battery backs 
or wires visible except what you see in the giant hub on the wheel. I've 
been inventing reasons I need to go run a quick errand by bike. The best 
part is that when you start off, you just go. It eliminates the few rounds 
of work to get the bike up to cruising speed. There are 3 levels of 
assistance: turbo, standard, and eco, that govern how much assist you get 
and also how long your battery will last. Standard is only about 30 miles. 
With eco, they say you might get up to 39. I have been mostly riding in 
standard mode because I live in a hilly neighborhood. Having the boost 
means any road feels flat. You can recharge the battery a little with the 
regenerative braking feature, which is actually fun to use when cruising to 
a stop. It also has an exercise mode if you prefer resistance. I would 
think that just having the wheel turned off would count as exercise since 
the wheel is 22 pounds.  I suppose that, once it is moving, perhaps the 
momentum would cancel that out. I haven't really tried it much without 
power. I keep thinking I should but then I turn it back on because it is 
really fun with it on and I am not a scientist. 

I would highly recommend the Copenhagen Wheel to anyone thinking they might 
enjoy some electric assistance and if its somewhat limited stats work for 
your needs. It comes in a small variety of wheel sizes and types.  It is 
expensive but the add-on kits I've seen are pretty pricey too. Because the 
wheel is so heavy, I think it makes sense to have a geared bike to 
accommodate pedaling without power if needed. Also, it is not really meant 
for rain, puddles, or rough terrain.

I also really love the Roscoe. Such a great deal for a frame. The Roscie 
decals and head badge make me smile like a kid. And it has lift-a-tube. 
Even without the C-wheel, I expect I will love this bike. With normal 
wheels, I imagine it would ride like my Appaloosa -- a bike that sails 
comfortably through whatever it encounters. The Roscoe seems like it might 
be a bit lighter and maybe stiffer but that could just be based on how I 
have them set up. And that could just be my imagination. Whatever it is, it 
feels terrific.

[RBW] Re: Grant's Other Book

[John A. Bennett]

In addition to selling (only) Bob Dylan LPs, maybe we need to add B.F. 
Skinner to our Lending Library.

it."

[RBW] Re: Yepp Mini on Rivendell experiences?

[Alex Wirth- Owner, Yellow Haus Bicycles]

Ha, lookin' good Tony!  I was initially trying to make my Schwinn High 
Plains a dedicated "dad bike" via the Yepp mini.  Turns out I had the same 
issue as you (knee knocker).  Riv bikes and they're tall headtubes make 
great candidates for the Yepp Mini because everything gets shifted UP UP UP.

[Philip Kim]

I've seen this bike in person a few times. can vouch it looks great. I 
didn't even notice any chips, I think the bike itself is so awesome it 
takes focus away from all of that. Great price for complete -- considering 
he's got the Bruce Gordon Cantis which I've always

[RBW] Re: Wanted: Front Bag

[Pondero]

Eric, I am embarrassed to say that I accidentally issued a false alarm (and 
sent you a PM on this also).  When I went to retrieve it this morning for 
photos, I soon realized my mistake.  I had done a major "clear out" of 
things a couple of months back and had forgotten that my bag was one of 
those items.  So my bag is gone, and I hope you can find one even better 
for your project!

A bionx (or similar) with a frame bag to hide the battery would be sweet 
looking. Perfect for a Clem

[RBW] Re: Yepp Mini on Rivendell experiences?

[Tony DeFilippo]

Successful first ride, just around the block really but the Yepp Mini 
mounted up to my newly-Albatross'd XO-3 and even though Rebecca isn't a big 
fan of the helmet she tolerated it and seemed to enjoy the sensation.  With 
weather like we're getting right now we'll get in some riding early this 
year.  Thanks for all the info in this thread!

First impressions from riding with the Yepp are that at least for me it's a 
slight knee knocker, I'm going to try mounting a seat that can be set back 
a bit which will still be ok with the Alba bars.  I got used to it pretty 
quick but for a longer trip I'd like another inch of clearance.
