[RBW] Re: Transporting a fendered tandem

[Nick Payne]

This is what we used for many years until we sold this car. I made the 
carrier using about $20 of timber. It's a piece of dressed 100mmx30mm long 
enough for the wheels to sit on, with pieces of 30x30 screwed on each side 
at each end to form slots for the wheels to sit in. A couple of galvanized 
u-bolts hold it onto the roofrack cross members. We would lift the bike on 
and then the stoker would stand on the rear bumper and hold it upright 
while I lashed it down to each side from ropes that went around the 
handlebar stem. Additional ropes went fore and aft from the bottom brackets 
to prevent the bike moving forwards and backwards. With a bit of practice I 
could get it on by myself without needing any assistance.

It only took a couple of minutes to get the tandem on or off the rack, and 
we have driven right across Australia (5000km) and many shorter trips at 
highway speed with the bike up there. I've looked at the tandem topper rack 
on a friend's vehicle and thought that our setup was much more stable than 
theirs.

Re: [RBW] (maybe) WTB Brooks B68 - Question regarding brooks saddle for Joe Appaloosa

[Joe Bernard]

One of you probably has my B68. The "wooden church pew" effect Leah mentioned 
didn't work for me at all. It's very wide, with an almost vertical face that 
drops down behind your thighs, and for me created a similar effect to legs 
rubbing against a packed Carradice saddlebag. I kept sliding forward to get 
away from the wooden bench behind me, and was not a happy rider. Me no likey!

[RBW] Re: Phil BB advice/experience needed

[Jon Spangler]

Bob,

I have been using Phil Wood BBs since 1975, when I was 23. I am now 65 and 
have sent several to Phil Wood to have spindle lengths changed out. 
(I am fairly certain the retail cost for this is higher than Patrick quoted 
but it includes new bearings.) 

I have yet to wear out a Phil Wood hub or BB and have yet to be 
disappointed in any Phil Wood gear I have purchased:
they will last longer than I will!

I would recommend sending your 130mm symmetrical BB back to Phil and having 
them install the offset 127.5 or 130, 
with preference going towards whatever Phil recommends.

George,

Yes in the roll I've seen it upwards of $300+ Most likely why it's
primarily found on eBay in small quantity. My buddy Mike says this stuff

works for him just fine but can't comment on whether the 3m is better?

Then there's this on eBay

4"x
3' and nade by 3M shipped from the UK.

Thinking of going for the ISC version. I trust Mike.

Re: [RBW] Re: Transporting a fendered tandem

[René Sterental]

I just installed the Thule in the roof rails in my Toyota Highlander so I'm
ready to pick up the tandem next week. Somehow I liked it better than the
Yakima. We'll see about that pin.

I will measure the distance from the fork dropout holder to the roof of the
car to see if a metal fender would fit. The pivoting tower raises the fork
compared to a standard rack.

[RBW] Re: WTB: Fork with Canti Posts for 650b Homer

[Hugh Smitham]

I think Mark Reimer said, :Possible? Yes. Enjoyable? Debatable..."  I agree 
with his sentiment.

You and I have both ridden some really gnarly terrain with our Homer's and 
though it can be done (a testament to Homer's DNA) the side pull brakes 
just are not meant to pull that kinda duty. On long descents with a load 
it's misery. Your hands and peace of mind will suffer. This is the main 
reason I jumped on the Bantam Adventure Bike v2.0.

My .02 for what it's worth.

[RBW] (maybe) WTB Brooks B68 - Question regarding brooks saddle for Joe Appaloosa

[LeahFoy]

I have the B68 on my Bets and I LOVE it. My husband has the B67 on his Clem and 
I like it far less. His seems softer, somehow, and maybe saggy? The springs 
aren't fun to work around if you plan to use a Saddlesack. I like the harder 
B68; it's like sitting on a wooden church pew. They're offered for sale 
occasionally, and you may find one if you nose around a bit. Or you could check 
out Rivet since it seems highly recommended.

[RBW] (maybe) WTB Brooks B68 - Question regarding brooks saddle for Joe Appaloosa

[Joe Bernard]

Are you sure about the B17? I have them on my Appaloosa and ebike, both of 
which are upright-ish rides, and they're​ great. Both bikes got B17s I'd 
already broken in; if you're running a new one on your new bike, you might want 
to give the fit a few weeks to work out for you.

[RBW] (maybe) WTB Brooks B68 - Question regarding brooks saddle for Joe Appaloosa

[Chris Birkenmaier]

I bought several b68 saddles for the exact reason you mentioned. I liked the 
size and shape for upright riding and  didn't need the springs. I do own the 
B67 too but often the springs on these types of saddles squeak which I don't 
care for. Some lube often helps with that.  Overall I favor the B68. I bought 
several of them from a list member here a while back

You may want to look into Rivet's new wider saddles. I can't help with the 
springs question as I've never ridden springs. Supple tires, knees and 
elbows do the trick for me. Grin.

[RBW] Re: Best way to move bikes cross-country?

['thalasin' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Thanks to everyone for your responses!  I'm not especially handy in terms 
of boxing them myself, plus it's getting to be crunch time and I just don't 
have time to mess around with the learning curve.  I'm going to have them 
boxed by a mobile bike service so they will be ready to go into the moving 
van, pod, trailer or whatever moving apparatus presents itself.  I was 
mostly worried about not having them secured and them clanking around and 
getting damaged in transit.  Not that they can't be damaged in boxes, but 
at least I'll know I took pre-emptive measures.

Moving to Michigan which means a fat bike may be joining the fleet.  But I 
have a glorious summer of lakefront rides ahead of me before the snow flies.

[RBW] (maybe) WTB Brooks B68 - Question regarding brooks saddle for Joe Appaloosa

[Jonathan D.]

I am loving my new Joe Appaloosa.  I think I officially bought the final 55 
Silver from Rivelo on Saturday.  I realize my current B17 Saddle isn't a 
great fit for the more upright position.  I am considering the B67 but 
really don't need the springs. The B68 seems like it would be a great 
choice but it is discontinued.  Any advice or thoughts on saddles? Do the 
springs do much in regards to ride feel or weight? Is there a good 
alternative to the B68? I might be interested in purchasing a used B68 or 
I'll stick with a B67.  

I'll have to do a right report soon.  So far i am loving the ride. Thanks 
in advance for all of your advice.

[RBW] Re: 3M helicopter tape

[Hugh Smitham]

This has been on my short list of need to buy. So where's the best source 
to buy a roll? Or is it way too expensive to buy as a roll? There seem to 
be a few eBay sellers but I noticed they're selling strips not rolls. As 
other's have mentioned there other manufacturer's. I myself consider 3m to 
be of the highest quality. Also what width have you all found to be the 
most useful?

Re: [RBW] Re: 3M helicopter tape

[George Schick]

Could be some serious illness or life event.  But it could also be another 
thing:  This tape is very expensive.  An entire rolls sells for several 
hundred dollars.  Sometimes a "casual" retailer who advertises a product 
like this (i.e., small increments), but happens to be out of an entire roll 
at the moment will attempt to wait for a "critical mass" of orders before 
he buys another.  I guess I can't blame them for doing that; even major 
retailers who sell discounted products will often do the same thing - hence 
the wonderful term "back ordered."  My only complaint would be not telling 
that to potential buyers right up front.  I wouldn't mind waiting.  After 
all, I've done without it for all these years - I just like to know the 
score right up front.

Hello again!

upcoming Hubbuhubbuh tandem (next Saturday pickup if all goes as
scheduled), I'm putting again for an irresistible price, my 58cm Betty Foy
frame and parts.

Photos here:

Included in the price:
- Frame & fork
- Headset
- Seat post
- Front & Rear Silver brakes
- Bottom Bracket
- Leather chain protector (a bit stained)

Asking for $750 OBO + shipping; local pickup/delivery/meet-up in the SF Bay
Area can be arranged.

Re: [RBW] Re: 3M helicopter tape

[Reed Kennedy]

George,

I just had an identical experience with the same seller, trying to buy the
same item. I eventually made a claim through eBay and my money was refunded
today with no explanation. You can see my negative feedback here:
http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2=holo_haleakala&&_trksid=p2047675.l2560=nc=182237433934=VIP%3Afeedback=FeedbackAsSeller

Felt terrible leaving it, as they had a perfect record until now. All I
wanted was a quick note saying they'd run out and when to expect it. Or
even just a "sorry"! Sheesh, what a waste of time.

What's doubly sad, I can't find anywhere else on eBay to buy helicopter
tape in 1" widths without expensive international shipping. ::grumble::

[RBW] Re: FS: Appaloosa 51cm blue

[Joe Bernard]

Richard, it's a combination of a lot of changes in my life since last summer 
leading to: 1. I'm not riding as much as I used to, and, 2. I always seem to 
grab my ebike lately when I do get out there. 

I live on a very steep hill in a very hilly area, and I never seem to talk 
myself into climbing them without a little boost anymore. Those long grinds 
aren't fun more me, and often I simply don't have the time for them. If my joe 
doesn't sell I won't be sad..it's a wonderful bike and I'll get out on it 
occasionally. But it really should go to someone who'll use it more. We'll see 
how it goes.

Re: [RBW] Re: 3M helicopter tape

[George Schick]

Unfortunately, when you deal with people via eBay you never know what to 
expect.  I recently placed an order back on April 8th for a couple of feet 
of 1" tape at the URL posted in the message below, received an e-mail 
saying the order had been placed, received another e-mail saying it had 
shipped w/ an expected delivery date of April 15th and nothing has 
happened.  Meanwhile, I placed another eBay order for a completely 
unrelated product, went through the same e-mail notification cycle, and it 
arrived on time, just as expected.

When I use the USPS tracking number supplied by the seller it says 
something about a shipping label having been created and awaiting receipt 
of the product.  USPS tracking is notoriously unreliable so I'm suspicious 
of the accuracy of their message, so I tried to contact the seller from his 
eBay main page advertisement, clicking on the "contact" and it takes me to 
an error message.  Therefore, I don't even have a way to get a hold of this 
guy to find out what's going on.  Anyone else run into this kind of problem 
and, if so, what steps did you take?

[RBW] Re: Compass tires for Sam

[Surlyprof]

John,

There was a posting on the blug about a year ago of a black Sam they outfitted 
with 42mm Rock 'n Roads and fenders.  Mark or Brian had to actually cut the 
fenders in to parts and attch part of it to the front rack to clear the brake 
bridges.  Seemed challenging to me.  I am able to easily get 40mm Mondials 
under fenders, though.

Richard,

After seeing your Sam I have to say, "right back at you".  Love the way you 
decked out the sage Sam.

Carla,

The fenders are the SKS fenders Riv sells (p50s maybe?).  They look more silver 
because I ran a strip of the 3M reflective tape up the back of each fender.  
You just have to use a large hole punch to cut out where the rivets are 
located.  Visibity is great with that stuff.

Re: [RBW] Re: Opinions on saddlebags? Swift vs. Carradice vs. Sackville

[Grant Petersen]

I should be clear about the future of Sackvilles as I see it/predict it.

There's nothing on my visible horizon, but the two principles there are
aging and there may be another reason that I don't want to say -- that
leads to a retirement of both, and there is no middle-management eager or
able to take over the  business. It's not a humming factory, it's small and
efficient, but the standards required slow things down, and it takes us up
to 2 months to get an order.

If I hear news of the end of Sackvilles, I'll pass it on, and shame on me,
but prices will skyrocket at that time. Right now and since the start,
we've felt compelled to be price-competitive, but that all will fly out the
door eventually. I know how "bad" this candor may sound, but it is the
reality and all I'm doing is saying it.

[RBW] Re: Best way to move bikes cross-country?

[Surlyprof]

If you want to box them up yourself, most independent bike shops usually have 
bike boxes that they are happy to get rid of (REI breaks them down too 
quickly).  If you stop by on the days they unboxed new shipments, they're 
usually happy to give them to you.  We used bike boxes to sheet mulch our lawn 
so it took a couple of weeks of stopping by a couple of shops to get enough 
boxes.

Good luck with the move.

There are a lot of opinions on here already, so what's one more? 

I have the medium Sackville Saddlesack in tan, though I wish it was gray. (The 
gray came out just after I ordered my tan, and I have long lamented it. Gray is 
my color. Trade ya, anyone?) I also have the tan Backabikes, and the gray

I looked at all the links posted for the other bagmakers, and I don't see any

[RBW] Re: FS: Appaloosa 51cm blue

[RichS]

Joe,

Sorry to hear you're selling your Appaloosa. Especially to pay taxes. Years 
ago I cancelled a trip to Ireland for just that reason. I know you were 
excited and pleased with the bike when you bought it. You said it's not 
being ridden much. I'm curious, do you have  a preferred ride or you're 
just not doing a lot of riding?

All the best,
Richard

[RBW] Re: Best way to move bikes cross-country?

[Shawn Granton]

Tracy, where are you moving to? I think you are in Denver now. If it's to 
another city with Amtrak service that has baggage service, you can ship the 
bike via Amtrak Express. I think the rates are typically $50-75 plus the 
box which costs $15. The big benefit to using their box is that it's the 
same super duper size box used if you went on the train. It's a lot larger 
than the standard bike box you'd get from a shop. All you need to do to 
pack is 1) remove pedals and 2) turn handlebars. You will need to deliver 
the bike to a station and pick up from a station, though.

[RBW] Re: threaded fork crown rod breakage on my Nitto 32F... punishment or a sign? Also, it can be salvaged, right?

[Jeremy Till]

I'm still a little bit confused.  The traditional method of attaching this 
rack is with the threaded rod extending all of the way through the fork 
crown to be secured with a traditional nyloc nut on the back of the crown, 
as is visible here 

 on 
a picture of Mark's QB from the riv staff bike page.  

Your description that "the nut fits perfectly inside the recessed part of 
the mount and lays flat against the crown," along with the fact that there 
is a spacer on the front of the crown make me think your rack was installed 
with a recessed caliper brake nut like these 
 (or perhaps shorter if came off a 
rear brake), with the threaded rod somehow trimmed or spaced out such that 
it terminates inside the fork crown.

Is that the case?

Good news.  If/when you do decide to bolt to the mark's rack, a couple of easy 
ideas for thicker spacers that you might already have, are: 1) inner chainring 
spacer with a short piece of rubber tubing inside, to reduce diameter; and 2) 
knurled nuts from presta valves, stacked as needed.

The SKS listed width refers to the width of the fender profile. I find this

I've always assumed that the SKS models were named according to the 
recommended tire width, e.g. the P45 would actually be around 52-55mm wide 
in order to accommodate up to 45mm tires. Is this not the case? Disclaimer:

Re: [RBW] Re: WTB: Fork with Canti Posts for 650b Homer

[Tim Gavin]

Except the cross-check fork has cantilever posts for 700c.
Correspondingly, I bet the axle-to-crown distance is significantly
different.

The only Surly forks designed for 650b have disc mounts and 1 1/8"
threadless steerers (Straggler 650b, Karate Monkey 27.5).

Joe,  I do know how that goes, I genuinely do(!), but still... I am sad you 
need to sell the bike!  I read your stories of finding and falling for it 
back when.  It was a good read and I am always glad when people stumble 
across bikes or moments that somehow call out to them.

Hope the sale and the tax thing work well and as easily as possible.

Best to you

[RBW] Re: Appaloosa build - beta version

[Bob Lovejoy]

Hi Roberta... and thanks!

I will say that the B17 and C17 do feel different, but both can work great. 
 The C17, for me, has a better chance of working well and not hurting me 
right out of the box.  The B17's can take some time to get to that point, 
 The other side of that is the C17 will most likely always be the same, 
where the B17 should improve over time and miles.  There are also leather 
treatments (Proofide, Obenauf's, etc.) that can help the improvement 
process along.

The other thing I do like about the Cambium's versus the leather saddles is 
that the Cambium's are not hurt by wet weather or certainly not hurt the 
way a leather saddle can be.  Wet does not necessarily hurt the leather but 
riding it when it is wet can.  That's where saddle covers or even plastic 
bags come in handy but I was forever forgetting to have one with me. The 
recommended leather treatments help with all of that but I would still use 
a cover or whatever if needed.

Not that I am still in the market, but I have wanted to try one of the 
C19's (wider than the C17 but same construction) for more upright bikes but 
I have not had one .

Also, I really like the Tigr lock!  It is light, fairly strong, easy to 
carry.  I don't trust any lock to keep a bike safe for long, unattended 
periods, but the Tigr lock is so light I always have it with me, either in 
its clip or in my bag or pack.  I bought a pair when they had their 
Kickstarter and if I am being especially careful I can use the two to lock 
both the frame and the front wheel separately,  Even with the two locks, 
they are much lighter than one big heavy lock.

Hope that helps and thanks for the good wishes!  

Bob

[RBW] Re: 3M helicopter tape

[jeffrey kane]

I tried it for the front derailleur clamp once -- didn't work for me. The 
cable pulling action caused the clamp to slip - whether that was on the 
clamp / tape interface or the adhesive / frame interface (or both) I'm not 
totally sure but either way, it was a no go. I'd never considered cloth HB 
tape idea for that, though (but I'd probably not like looking at it). 

The 3M Heli tape is great stuff for bikes -- I cut little pieces to wrap 
around my bottom bracket shells to keep the occasional chain drop form 
scratching them -- and I double it in patches around where maybe chain suck 
will happen. I use it as a chain slap protector, etc ...

[RBW] Re: #%*#! Fenders!!!!

[Broccoli Cog]

Success! I thought I would provide and update here to let everyone know how 
I made out. After 3 sessions in my workshop (aka my basement) I was able 
 to finally get everything aligned to my satisfaction. What it took was an 
abundance of patience and determination. I explored the possibility of 
permanent alignment of the fender nose by bolting it to the Mark's rack. I 
can see how this would work but I treated it as a last resort. There is 
about 3cm of space between the rack and the top of the fender so I would 
need a significant spacer. I had a nylon sleeve that just wasn't quite long 
enough. So I then tried mounting them to the rear of the fork crown with 
the Sheldon Nut.  I didn't like that at all. I found that when mounted to 
the rear of the fork raising the fender up high enough forced the nose down 
so that it was touching the tire. I decided to scrap that and go back to 
mounting it behind the brake again. When I put it back on this time 
starting from scratch I finally got it aligned just right. When I had it 
just right it took the curve out of the nose of the fender. It's not 
perfect but good enough. No tire rub whatsoever. The takeaway for me is 
that you have to keep playing with the adjustment of the fender stays to 
get it just right. It took a lot of trial and error but I now feel like I 
am much better equipped to deal with. I just hope it's not any time soon!

[RBW] Re: #%*#! Fenders!!!!

[panog]

Another point of reference for the adequacy of fender coverage and tire size. I 
have VO 45 mm fenders on one bike and find that they will accommodate up to a 
33mm tire while maintaining adequate vertical and lateral clearances with very 
good results. For 35 up to 38 mm tires I have been using the VO 50 mm fenders 
with excellent results.
I cant see how the SKS P45 is described to cover up to 45mm tires (assuming 
there is enough clearance to mount them high enough to do so) and still keep 
your feet protected from the tire blow-off spray while in the rain.
