I think my quasi motos were more like 50mm on Synergy rims.  They are 53mm on 
these wide rims.

Using them on road exclusively or on trails?

Did you ask that Rene?

I'm sure they will roll great. I'll be curious to hear how they hold up on 
bumpy and rutted trails. 

Those HHH tandems will make really fun trail bikes.

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

[Jeremy Till]

Hey Wally-

Can I ask where you read that the chainline on the Phil hub was 42mm on the 
fixed side and 46mm on the freewheel side?  I've been working on flip-flop 
hubs for a long time, I even had Phil one for a while (not on the QB, on my 
erstwhile Salsa Casseroll), and I've never heard that before.  To my 
knowledge, Phil has only ever made their track hubs for a standard 42mm 
chainline.  

If I remember correctly, Paul made their track hubs with a 
slightly-wider-than-normal 44mm chainline and the chainline on the White 
Industries ENO hubs was around 47mm.  

Since a flip-flop hub is designed to allow swapping between cogs/FW on 
either side without changing anything else, it would be really weird to 
have one where the chainlines didn't line up.   I could certainly imagine 
that when all was said and done and you measured chainline with a fixed cog 
and freewheel installed that they weren't dead on the same, but I'd have a 
hard time imagining that they would be far enough off to cause issues or 
clearance problems like you're asking about.  

I believe that our fearless list moderator, Mr. Cyclofiend Jim, runs a Phil 
hub on the back of his QB, so he might be a good guy to ask.

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

[ted]

Wally,

You said your friend is supplying a sugino 75 crankset, and mentioned 1/8" 
chain.

Though regular road chains, rings and cogs are fairly forgiving with 
respect to chain line (as others have noted), 1/8" track stuff can be more 
finicky. I have an 1/8" sugino ring and a 1/8" euro asia cog on my SO. I 
found I needed to have them lined up really well for things to run 
smoothly. I ended up getting a PW bottom bracket so I could easily fine 
tune the crank offset to match the cog (note: you really really want two of 
those lock ring tools to install a PW bottom bracket).
That said i don't think any freewheels use 1/8" inch cogs so I'm guessing 
you are going to have a road width cog and that should be more 
forgiving. You could also pick up a road width chainring and just avoid any 
1/8" stuff.

Since that sugino 75 crank may not sit on the bottom bracket at the same 
offset as your current crank, you may want to mount it on your current 
bottom bracket and see how things line up (or don't) before picking a 
length for a new PW bottom bracket.

Since you are thinking of moving things further from the center line, you 
aren't going to have clearance problems at the crank end. Take a quick look 
at the rear wheel and make sure you have a bit more than an 1/8" clearance 
(1/8" is ~3mm) between the chain and the seat stay. I suspect you will be 
fine there too.

Yep. He was going to include a stick with that bike that originally wasn't 
going to come with a front derailer. My very vague memory is that bike sorta 
never got made, then sorta came back as the Appaloosa with front derailer. But 
I could be wrong about that timeline.

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

[Patrick Moore]

The cog-to-cog distance, center of cogs, for 10 speed is 4 mm (3.95 mm), so
I think that even with a flexible chain, but with a single speed cog, you'd
be fine, unless perhaps the chain was very loose. Even the cog center to
cog center distance for a "typical 5 speed", per Sheldon, is only 5.5 mm.

FWIW, from time to time I've run Hyperglide cogs ss without paying much
attention to chain line, and I never had one derail.

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

[Eric Norris]

The only problems I have every had with chains coming off on a SS or fixed gear 
bicycle happened when using a multi-speed cog. In retrospect, I should have 
realized that multi-speed cogs are *designed* to derail. SS/fixed cogs have 
taller teeth that lack ramps, all of which helps keep the chain in place.

Use a fixed/singlespeed cog, properly tension the chain (not as much of a 
problem with SS), and you’ll be fine.

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

[Ian A]

On a single speed, would a 4mm offset cause a greater tendancy to derail? On my 
my SS set up (vertical drop outs) I used a cassette hub and adjusted the 
spacers on the hub until the chain didn't want to derail itself. It is a 
multispeed chain and there's a Surly tensioner, but even with the tensioner, a 
few mm made a big difference in whether the chain stayed seated.

Re: [RBW] Re: Tires for HHH tandem

[René Sterental]

Thanks to all for your feedback. I still feel inclined to go with the
standard Compass tires, as I haven't had any problems with MTB compass
tires compared to the previous Schwalbe tires and love their suppleness.
We'll see... wonder if a wider less supple tire somehow offsets their
lesser suppleness. Has anyone done a direct comparison?

[RBW] How much actual rise does the RBW Bullmoose handlebar have?

[Ray Varella]

Joe is correct Chris. 

By placing a straight edge across the ends of the bar, there is at least a full 
centimeter of rise from the center of the bar.

[RBW] How much actual rise does the RBW Bullmoose handlebar have?

[Joe Bernard]

Chris, you'll likely get a little more at the ends, too. When I had that bar 
mounted, it didn't sit flat like your illustration indicates. It was more like 
if you rotated a riser mountain bar forward to where the grips were higher than 
the riser curve.

While I can't answer your question directly, I can offer a data point: on my 
2010 Waterford Homer I have run 700cx41 Surly Knard tires under SKS P50 fenders 
without a problem, so I would be reasonably certain that the Cazaderos would 
fit sans-fenders. I currently running Soma Supple Vitesse 42s that measure 40mm 
wide under the same fenders with no problems there either.

If not, I'd like to find another good pavement-to-dirt-road tire if anyone

[RBW] How much actual rise does the RBW Bullmoose handlebar have?

How much actual rise does the RBW Bullmoose handlebar have?  What is the 
vertical distance from the point where the stem exits the headset (assuming 
it's at max height) and the tops of the bar where you grip?   I'm trying to 
figure out if it has enough rise for my bike.  This illustration may

Re: [RBW] Re: Tires for HHH tandem

[Julian Westerhout]

The good news  is that unless you're running 25c or narrower tires on a 
tandem there is no reason to use such high pressures. 

On our first tandem we used 32s and 35s at about 80-90 psi. 

On our second we run 650b x 42 Hetres at 60-65 psi. 

On the HHH we anticipate 55+ and 45 psi. 

Tandem tires do wear out more quickly than singles, though. We get ~ 1500 
from the Hetres, and I replace them a bit earlier than I probably need to. 
Lower pressures on wider tires will add greatly to comfort for both captain 
and stoker, and will add to tire life -- I think sidewall failures are more 
likely at really high pressures. 

FWIW, we're not a small team (my half, anyway). I'm 6'7" and 250 lbs, my 
stoker is 5'2" and 110 lbs, and every year we do at least one loaded 
self-supported primarily camping tour, sometimes with panniers, sometimes 
with a trailer, and sometimes with both.

A buddy will be giving me a very nice condition Sugino 75 track crankset. 
 Being tempted w/ this I might as well upgrade other items on the drive 
train a get a Phil hub.  With that a Phil BB would be ordered to get the

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

[Eric Norris]

If you’re running a road (multi speed) chain on your QB, this is all moot 
anyway. Road chains are designed to work at a variety of angles as you shift 
from on cog to another and one chainring to another.

There is perhaps a theoretical increase in efficiency from having a chain 
running perfectly straight, but I don’t have the time or energy to worry about 
that on my bikes.

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

[iamkeith]

Wally,

If I understand your question correctly, you're thinking about moving the 
chain outward to match the chainline of the Phil hub, by using a front 
chainring in the outer position instead of the middle position that 
Quickbeams used orginally?  That 'might' work fine, but it's not the 
easiest way to solve this.  Forgive me if I'm over-stating the obvious, but 
think about it this way:

The bike itself has no inherent chainline.   The chainline is determined by 
the position of the cog on the rear hub, assuming that can't be adjusted.   
So you want to match that chainline by moving the chainring laterally as 
necessary, until it's the same or close to that of the hub.  The EASIEST 
and cheapest way to do this is to get a different bottom bracket.   Going 
longer, which it sounds like you need, won't cause any clearance issues 
between chainring or crank arm and chainstay, but going the other way 
sometimes can.

So for instance: If you currently have a 110mm bb and a 42mm chainline at 
the middle chainring position, and want to achieve a 46mm chainline, then 
just get a 118mm bb or whatever is close. Both crank arms are just moved 
outward by 4mm, and then you could keep the chainguard.  

If you got a Phil bb (though that wouldn't be the "cheapest" any more - 
especially if you have to buy the proprietary tools, too), you can then 
even micro-adjust to make the chainline 100% perfect - though a mm one way 
or the other really shouldn't be an issue.

Re: [RBW] Re: Tires for HHH tandem

[Ruben Flores]

One other bit of info on tandem tires. You will burn thru them faster than you 
expect. We use 120psi on our roadie and only get about 800 miles out of a rear, 
often the issue is sidewall tesr but ask your stoker what they think of s 
pothole blowout. 

After a few cycles we went with the front to rear rotation.

[RBW] Re: Tires for HHH tandem

[Michael Hechmer]

We  have run the compass 45mm tires - I forget the name - for the past 
year,  without undue problems.  We ride a mixture of dirt and paved roads 
but pretty much all rural.  We did have two flats, in quick succession. 
 They are very comfortable and roll well.

[RBW] Re: Hunqapillar 650B impressions

['Chris Lampe 2' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Thanks for posting!!

What is the Stand-over as shown in the photos?  I'm currently riding a bike 
that is close to being a 26" version of the 650B Hunq but it's 33 years old 
and I'm probably going to want to replace it someday and the new Hunq is 
the most obvious choice.

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

[Wally Estrella]

HI Ted:

the chainline on the QB is 42, from what I've read, the chain line on a PW 
freewheel track hub is 46.  So, yeah, I guess that's what I'm confusingly 
asking.  Would there be any clearance issues w/ a 46 chain line and going 
up larger on either the chain ring or cog as? Sorry, just overthinking the 
simplicity of it. Sounds like it'll work just fine, so I'll just do it.

Thanks!
