As long as it says 'Free of Petrolatum", I agree.

[RBW] A post asking about posts

[christian poppell]

Seat posts. Im interested in two offerings from nitto. The s65 and the s83.

The question: Is the S65s angle infinitely adjustable? 

Nothing, I mean nothin in this world drives me more mad than an ill adjusted 
saddle. I swore off single bolt posts after purchasing a campagnolo nuovo 
record but I am willing to give the S65 a chance if it is uber adjustable

[RBW] Re: Iron on patches

[John Bokman]

I have ironed-on a patch to my waxed Baggins Adam saddlebag. It was a bit 
tricky. Wanted to slide around as the wax melted. I would think stitches 
would be better for a long-term relationship, although the patch has stayed 
put for a month now.

[RBW] Re: Advice on Choosing a New Rivendell Appaloosa, Hillborne or Clem

[Jonathan Donehower]

I just got my wife a clementine from someone in Portland. She is pregnant so 
can't ride it yet but it is a much better looking bike in person then I think 
some of the pictures showed.i might be more excited then she is. I spend my 
time shopping for my own bike and only end up buying her one. I think it will 
be a versatile bike for her and . 

The Sam and Joe both seem like great bikes. If I buy new bike I would probably 
go with a Joe frame from Rivelo or look for a used Sam on the forum.

Those LEDs sound very cool. Really simple, smart, cheap, fun idea!

Can you post a photo of them? Do they change colors?

There are valve cap LED lights on Amazon for around a dollar each (in a 10 
pack). I can think of 5 bikes that need something like that, no problem.

[RBW] Re: Advice on Choosing a New Rivendell Appaloosa, Hillborne or Clem

I have toured a bunch on my Sam. I'm a heavy rider and had no trouble. I have a 
Clem and like it a lot, but it is not quick or as versatile as the Sam...to me. 
My lovely wife rides a Joe and it is great. She is not as strong of a rider as 
I am and when I ride the Clem she is much faster than I am. The clem doesn't 
beg to be ridden hard, but rather to be enjoyed. If I could only keep one bike, 
it would be ole Sammy. I have an 86 pbh and the 52 Clem fits great.

[RBW] Re: Silver cranks came today

[Jayme Frye]

I could switch the WI over to 2x with new rings but mostly I wanted to own 
these beauties from Riv. As for moving from 1x to 2x I have found that I 
prefer a high cadence and smaller steps between gears. The 2x will allow me 
to stay in a narrow 95 to 100 rpm window AND have low gearing for loaded 
touring. 
Cheers

[RBW] Garage Sale, Riv and Nitto stuff, at Gravel & Grind April 22nd and 23rd

[Gravel & Grind Espresso + Bikes]

Hey gang, 

Second annual garage sale is happening at Gravel & Grind in Frederick MD on 
April 22 and 23rd.  We’ll have Nitto bars and stems and maybe racks, Brooks 
stuff, Complete Rivs, Riv frames, tires, tubes, rims, cranks, chains, 
cassettes, derailleurs, bags, lights, brakes, etc... all as part of the 
sale.  Also stuff from Velo Orange, Surly, New Albion, Crust...  We have

[RBW] Re: Advice on Choosing a New Rivendell Appaloosa, Hillborne or Clem

[Jonathan Donehower]

Thanks Michael. I normally bike home on the waterfront and could meet up. 
Currently with the water levels I have to bike on the west side. Have you used 
it for touring? Why did you choose that model over others? I love the albatross 
bars I put on an old jamis steel cycle cross bike and wouldn't go back to drop 
bars.

[RBW] Nice conspicuity finds at the Japanese import store

[Bill Lindsay]

We like a few products from the Japanese import store.  The store is called 
Zipang and it's in El Cerrito.  We were on a visit a couple weeks back and 
I wandered down one of the aisles to find a couple cool cycling related 
items, for practically free.  

1.  A nice fender-contoured red rear reflector.  Functionally identical to 
something like THIS 

  
It's made of plastic, except the mounting bolt and nut are metal.  It's 
just a good basic rear reflector, made to fit on a fender.  $1.48

2.  A pair of LED presta valve caps.  You put these on your presta valves, 
and when they are jiggled in any way, the LED lights up for a couple 
seconds.  If you are riding, they are on constantly, because that's plenty 
of jiggle.  They even light up on the BART train.  $1.48 for a pair, 
batteries included.

I've occasionally read him.  In the posts I've read, he's been insulting

adopt his catch phrases and used them as "micro-aggressions" and 
outright insults: for-example, the way his acolytes refer to the bikes

As far as I am concerned, fop him.

Re: [RBW] Re: 700 x 45-50 options

[William R.]

These Almotions are the first Schwalbe tires that I have bought that were 
anything other than perfectly round. I have had Kojaks, Big Bens and 
Thunder Burts. All were/are great. Third ride on these this morning and 
they seem to be getting better little by little. Or am I getting used to 
it? I will keep riding them and see. It certainly doesn't seem as painfully 
obvious as it was when I first rolled on them.

And yes Scott, the reflective stripe on these is all over the place, that 
will never smooth out. More eye catching for drivers though! So a plus?

[RBW] Re: Grant coached Bike Snob on today's blog post

[Bill Lindsay]

Bob B disagreed with me and Bob K stated that he's with Patrick and Bob B

I think the two Bobs might have misunderstood my post.  I think Eben Weiss 
is a very talented writer, is very funny, and I think BSNYC is a great 
blog.  In my post, I was poking fun at those OTHER people who claim to 
dislike Bike Snob.  In my experience, those people who say they don't like 
Bike Snob claim to never read Bike Snob, and also claim that he is never 
funny.  How can they know he is never funny if they never read him?

[RBW] Re: Advice on Choosing a New Rivendell Appaloosa, Hillborne or Clem

[allenmichael]

Jonathan,
If you want to test ride a 56 Hillborne with Albatross bars, that is 
well-racked and shod with new Schwalbe Mondials, I have one downtown that 
you are welcome to ride.

I am also an 85 pbh, and it fits me nicely.

Re: [RBW] Re: 700 x 45-50 options

[Patrick Moore]

I wonder if quality has declined? I've owned 3 pairs of BAs, the first
dating back to their initial appearance in the early 2000s (when they cost
$80 or more retail!). This was a 26 X 60 mm pair. The next pair, circa
2010, was a 700C X 60 pair; and the last, a couple of years later, was a
pair of the 700C X 60 folding Liteskin model, with thinner sidewalls. All
were perfectly round on a variety of rims, and all rode very, very smoothly.

I've also owned numerous pairs of Kojaks; ditto. And F Freds, of course,
again, ditto.

Have others found poor quality in Schwalbe tires? I hope it's not a trend.

[RBW] Re: 700 x 45-50 options

['Chris Lampe 2' via RBW Owners Bunch]

I've had the lumpy/bumpy issue with three of the four sets of Schwalbe 
tires I've owned.  I really, really like the Big Apples but I'm reluctant 
to buy new ones because I don't want a lumpy tire and I don't want the 
hassle of having to return a lumpy tire.

Re: [RBW] Silver cranks came today

[Patrick Moore]

I just looked it up on the Rivendell site. Nice low Q, of the Ritchey Logic
width. But the copy says, "Not for 10 or 11 speed drivetrains!" with the
exclamation emphasizing the warning.

Why is it not compatible with 10 or 11? I'm using a Logic with 10, and I've
used a Pro 5 Vis with 10; no problems I could see.

Re: [RBW] Re: New Batch of Rosco Mixtes - Maybe

[Bob Lovejoy]

I'll throw in that if one were driven to run drop bars, the ~59.3cm 
effective TT might allow that (as mentioned by, I think, Grant in the 
e-mail).

Anyone thinking about building an ultra-race Rosco mixte with lifter tube??

Re: [RBW] Re: New Batch of Rosco Mixtes - Maybe

[Bob Lovejoy]

I just looked up the recommended PBH for a 60cm Cheviot - 84-94cm - so if 
someone was at the lower end of the Cheviot range, then it could seemingly 
be an option.

I do know the 60cm Cheviot can seem pretty big, though it seems perfect 
when riding.  That said, I have a PBH right at 89 and I can understand 
someone in the 84-87 range thinking of a somewhat smaller bike.  They might 
be right or wrong, but I can see them thinking about it, especially with 
the "lifter" bar on the potential Rosco.

They're pretty. I take it that these are cold forged? The arms are bulkier

[RBW] Re: Car Bike Rack

[Edwin W]

I've got the Yakima Two Timer  on the back 
for two bikes - works great with a wide variety of bikes, downtubes, 
heights, fenders, tire width, wheel size, etc
I've got the Yakima Raptoraero  on the 
roof which works with a pretty wide range of bikes, too... also doesn't 
mind fenders, no break down of bike needed, etc...

If I need more than three bikes, I have put a folding trailabike and 
folding Dahon in the back.

I don't like the feel of driving most cars with four bikes hanging off the 
back, but some cars are better than others.

Costs can add up
Put a hitch on your car for $150 at Uhaul (they threw it in with the car)
Rear rack for $300
Put bars on top for $200 or so (came with the car, luckily)
Rack on top $150 (I found one on CL)

[RBW] Re: 700 x 45-50 options

[Scott Blouke]

I am still undecided on the Almotions.  The reflective stripe isn't printed 
round and in the stand they look out of round but feel nice riding around. 
 They do not feel nice like the Bicycle Rolling Resistance review lead me 
to hope for.
I think that the tested tire and the TLE version are quite different.  I 
will give them a fair shot setup tubeless. 

I was excited to build up my Cliffhangers today but my double checking on 
my spoke calculations wasn't enough and I transposed some numbers so I 
would up with a bit too long drive side spokes.  I tried lacing it twice 
thinking it was me and not the spokes...  That was a bummer to a mediocre 
day.  So correct spokes are ordered hopefully they are here over the 
weekend I would like to get the Bombadil I recently got off the list up and 
ready to ride.

[RBW] Re: Car Bike Rack

[William R.]

Thanks for sharing Leah. This Saris looks like it would be a good rack for 
my situation. I am currently experiencing a car rack conundrum though. We 
are a one car family (my wife and I, plus two kids) and we just recently 
bought a new-to-us Outback wagon. It came with a nice 1.25" trailer hitch 
installed. I think I may need to upgrade to 2" though as the choices 
(strength?) of rear bike carriers seem limited in that size. And I know 
that there are 1.25" to 2" adapters available, but they kind of scare me 
and put the rack further behind the car about 6". So... I either upgrade 
the hitch to a 2" or go with something like the Kuat Transfer that can take 
three bikes on a 1.25" hitch and put one bike on the roof? Or in the trunk? 
But that doesn't really work because when we are going on trips with the 
dog in the trunk and all of our stuff in a pod on the roof (because of dog 
in the trunk!), this is the most common time that we actually want all four 
bikes on the car. I'm not even sure if there will be room on the roof for a 
bike and the pod (36" wide)...  As you can see, I don't really have this 
figured out yet. Any thoughts would be great appreciated.

[RBW] Re: Ride Report from Beacon: An Applaloosa and a Rivendell Fork Hit the Road

[William R.]

Hi Roberta,

The bag is a Sackville Saddlesack XSmall - tan available from Riv here: 
https://www.rivbike.com/collections/bags/products/sackville-saddlesack-xsmall-tan
It is a great bag and cavernous for anything with XSmall in its description. 
Not so big that it hits the backs of your legs while pedaling.

That area where Mark lives is great riding and worth the trip if it seems far. 
I drove up on Saturday from Dobbs Ferry, New York and it took just under a 
hour. Next time I hope to also be in "shape" and ride up.

When these future rides happen, all will be welcome.

Bill in Westchester, NY
