Hi, is your Cheviot still for sale?

I've had an Atlantis for the last 12 years and love it, but have recently
realized I could use a top tube that's easier on my hips.

I live in Oakland btw. Happy to come to you to check it out.

Let me know!

[RBW] The Siren Call of Sapphire Shopsacks

2017-04-24 Thread Bill Lindsay

I ordered my Sapphire Medium Shopsack on Friday. There are only 8 left, so they 
probably won't last through the week. 

I think of olive and tan as "warms". Grey and Sapphire are "cools".  If you've 
got a bike with a cool colorway, it's nice to have a complementary bag.  I've 
got a bunch of olive and now a couple Sapphire so I have both covered

[RBW] Re: Headset nut: aluminum vs steel

2017-04-24 Thread Garth

  I prefer steel not so much because al is softer, but getting a perfect 
match between wrench and nut in really hard, it's hit or miss depending on 
the tool and the nut tolerances. Steel gives you more leeway.  I do use an 
adjustable along with a 32mm wrench on my headsets, but it's not one that 
is all loosey goosey when you adjust it to a bolt. I think it's a Stanley.  
Even my 2 Park 32mm wrenches vary in tolerances from each other, one fits 
some nuts better than the the other and vise versa. Bike tools are not even 
close to being precise tools , this is why it's good to get them at a place 
where you can either inspect/measure if beforehand or return it.  Park has 
a big rep but crappy quality control. 

That no bicycle shop had a 32mm wrench pretty much disqualifies them as 
being considered anything but a bike retailer, no better than Wal-Mart 
even.

I've heard stories about incidents like these but never had the "pleasure"

[RBW] Re: Headset nut: aluminum vs steel

2017-04-24 Thread Ash A

Folks, 

thanks for sharing your opinions.  To clarify, some of the LBSs did have 
32mm wrench, but not for sale.  They had 34, 36 and 40mm wrenches in stock.

The aluminum would be probably better for the life of the fork, as if at I 
over tighten, there is no chance of damaging the fork.   

I'm going to give it one try to find a good 32mm wrench and use aluminum. 
 If that too changes the shape of the nut I'll just swap it to steel.

-Ash

[RBW] Re: Headset nut: aluminum vs steel

2017-04-24 Thread Garth

Well thank goodness for that at least !   

As for the nut Ash, as long as the nut screws on as it is supposed to: as 
in *easy peasy*,  the steering tube threads will always be fine regardless 
of the material.

Re: [RBW] Re: Headset nut: aluminum vs steel

Regarding overtightening: it's hard to overtighten a hs, IME, which is
extensive and comes with a compulsion to over torque things. Don't choose
the metal of your hs for this reason!

Patrick Moore, who has (blush, shuffle, shuffle) been known to fine-tune hs
bearing adjustment by cranking* the hell down!!* on the hs locknut.

Re: [RBW] Re: Rivs on the Great Divide Route?

2017-04-24 Thread Anne Paulson

I have ridden the Divide. I was glad of my 3" tires. I also lved my
hydraulic disk brakes.

The only problem with the hydraulic disk was bike shops along the route
didn't know how to maintain them. For that reason, last year I switched to
mechanical disk brakes-- and rapidly switched back. The difference was
astonishingly large.

I rode the first 2300 miles of the Divide. I got one flat along the way, a
nasty slash on a rocky downhill.

Someone in Mark's group had fenders. For the part of the route he rode,
that might be OK, but further south, it's so very much a bad idea. There is
mud.

Mark, I love your pictures. I still think about the Divide a lot.

Here's an elevation profile of the whole route:

Awesome! You're right, there are sections of the OCA that are really

there are not a lot of long, easy dirt trails around NYC.

These are the mediums and the waist size is listed as 32" expandable to 43".

Re: [RBW] Re: Airless tires: What's old is new, with a cushy twist

2017-04-24 Thread Surlyprof

Very cool student project, Patrick.  They did a great job with that 
prototype.  

My concern with so many of the "Tweel-like" solutions is that I'm not sure 
where the adjustability is.  Although I don't know how well these 
( https://www.loopwheels.com/ ) work in distributing the pressures put on 
tires, I could see more potential for adjustability.  Maybe combined with 
that outer rim of swept, flexible spokes may be an answer.  Don't know. 
 One thing about pneumatics, if you need a softer rides it's just an air 
valve push away.

[RBW] Re: The Siren Call of Sapphire Shopsacks

2017-04-24 Thread Valerie Yates

I love the shopsacks. I don't use them as handbags but I definitely use 
them off the bike as often as I do on. I prefer the medium size for use on 
the bike. For me, that is mostly grocery shopping / farmer's market, the 
gym, etc. The medium fits perfectly in the medium Wald basket and the Wald 
Bosco basket. I would want it secured in the large Wald basket but I think 
that could easily be done. 

I tried the large/large combo and it is bigger than I need or want on a 
bike but it is excellent for errands made via car where I am toting around 
large, heavy, or awkward items (pet food, books, laserjet toner cartridges, 
fabric, goodwill donations, etc.)

2017-04-24 Thread Peter H

Thanks Joe. That's a beauty of a appaloosa! I'm sure someone will snatch that 
up it's a lovely build and a great price. Unfortunately a bit outside my budget 
for my wife's project bike.

I've been eyeing the local Craig's ( Massachusetts) and I'm going to keep an 
eye out for Riv's but there few to be found locally, but I've been seeing some 
decent condition and Bridgestone RB-T and MB's and thinking something along 
those lines might be a good direction given my budget for the project and the 
amount of riding she will be doing.

Thanks for taking a look and the feedback!

Best,

Peter

2017-04-24 Thread LeahFoy

Oh, Chris, we DO think alike. And we've got ourselves in trouble now. All these
bags in all these colors... So, I also use the Grabsack as a purse. It's a
great, lightweight bag for summer, but has muted enough looks that it actually
is great for any season. It holds my whole iPad, and like most Riv bags, has
more room than you think. I do wish the bag held its shape at the bottom, but
yours is the tan and those are made from tougher material which may hold its
shape. This bag would really shine if I was the type to carry more in my bag,
but I'm a minimalist. If you tend to schlep around more stuff, you'll love the
Grabsack!

Also, I came across these on Amazon, and just may adorn one of my Sackvilles
with them:

Valerie, I agree! Medium is more my size. The large looks too big. I could also
see this bag being great for the beach (shaking out the sand would be easy), or
for tossing extra clothing in when traveling, or as airplane carryon, or a
library bag...the possibilities are endless. I bought my sister the gray
Shopsack for Christmas one year, but I don't think the previous colors were
pretty enough to be carried as handbags. I changed my mind when I saw the
Sapphire though. That bag looked downright pretty.

[RBW] Re: Riv-ish rides in metro NYC area?

2017-04-24 Thread Brad

John G & Bob B,

The first time I rode the OCA, I was on one of the Fall iBOB rides about 10 
years ago. You can find maps on the internet, but riding with someone else 
is the easiest way to figure out the route when the OCA trail disappears 
and reappears.

I rode on the Bike Snob pre-Grand Fondont ride this weekend. Eben put 
together a route that used the OCA trail and the Putnam Trailway. I've 
ridden both trails a lot, but Eben's course used a lot of weird little 
connectors to shift between them. Last weekend's ride was a test. The real 
Grand Fondont is coming up in June. I'd recommend it if you're trying to 
find interesting rides out of NYC.

Re: [RBW] Re: 3M helicopter tape

2017-04-24 Thread George Schick

Helicopter tape arrived in the mail today.  More than enough to do six 
bikes - the eBay retailer must feel embarrassed and wanting to make up for 
the lost time (in shipping).  Installed the tape on the drive-side chain 
stay and my Ram feels comfort in having no more chain slap to look forward 
to.

Thanks to Les, in particular, for bringing this helicopter tape to our 
attention.  And thanks to several others for their advice and suggestions 
on how to install it.  I'd only add a few bits from my personal experience 
today:  I used the recommended water spray method to position the tape into 
its final position.  All worked well except that the thick, 14mil tape 
didn't want to bend and stay in place around the fairly sharp bend of the 
chain stay.  So I got out the heat gun and put it on low setting to blow 
under the parts of the tape that wouldn't bend around the stay in order to 
dry it a bit while I smoothed it into place.  It worked well, except that a 
heat gun even on low was probably overkill - a hair dryer would've probably 
been better.

Also, before cutting a piece of the tape with an exact-o knife, I cut a 
template out of heavy paper to get a feel how it would fit, tapering one 
end of it slightly to accommodate the shape of the chain stay.  Then, I 
held that over a length of the helio-tape and traced around it with the 
exact-o knife, rounding both ends so there would be no sharp 90º ends that 
could hooked and start to peel.  The rest was as the OP and others 
explained it and now I have an excellent strip of chain stay protection on 
the Ram without sacrificing the nice color of the frame.

Again, thanks to all.  Oh, BTW, as those who work in painting and 
refinishing like to say, "preparation is 90º of the job."  Be sure to 
thoroughly clean all wax off the frame part you want to protect with a 
slightly diluted citrus solvent like Finish Line, wash the residue off with 
water, and then clean the surface again with 90º isopropyl alcohol before 
processing with the installation.

Re: [RBW] FS: 55cm Cheviot, 56cm RB-T, 54cm San Marcos F/F

Great, I'm excited!

How old is it? Are you the first owner?

I could maybe come by to give it a ride on Weds morning (between 9-10:30)
or Friday afternoon (3+pm). Do either of those work for you?

Re: [RBW] Re: Airless tires: What's old is new, with a cushy twist

??? How is this a *radial* tire? I suppose it's a radial tire in the sense
that even a iron strip tire is radial, that is it is equidistant radially
from the nave's center.

[RBW] That DB Apex frame: top tube measurement, probably right this time: 21 3/4/55

Top tube is *twenty one and three quarters (21 3/4)*, more or less, center

Sorry for the continued mathematical incompetence.

Re: [RBW] FS: 55cm Cheviot, 56cm RB-T, 54cm San Marcos F/F

2017-04-24 Thread Dan McNamara

I am the first owner - it was from the first batch so that is about 2.5
years, I think, It has seen pretty light use - I used it to carry my
daughter on the rear and wanted a frame made the step through fairly easy.
Now she is on her own bike (sometimes.)

I might be able to do Friday afternoon.

The bike will have the Rock n' Roads on it, just FYI.

I'll confirm on Wednesday afternoon - I am heading out of town until then.

Oh, no! The custom does get its share of comments. I was referring to the 
practice of showing one's "admiration" by spitting chewed tobacco at people

Re: [RBW] FS: 55cm Cheviot, 56cm RB-T, 54cm San Marcos F/F

2017-04-24 Thread Dan McNamara

There is enough clearance for the SKS p50 - they measure about 42. If you
are not going to hit the trails I would do a different tire. I have some
other tires that would work - Soma New Express and Big Bens. Big Bens would
be tough for enders. With the New Express you could use the SKS P45.

[RBW] Today's commute

Rainy day today at DC. Rained the whole day and night. Traffic at the MUT was 
sparse and sporadic at best, both during the morning and evening commutes. 
Noticeably absent were the pace lines from the TdF wannabes training on the MUT 
at full speed. The zippies must have taken the bus to work. The light rain made 
the peace and quiet even more enjoyable. Tomorrow's weather is forecasted the 
same! Cant wait!

Re: [RBW] Today's commute

Pano: if you can post some photos of WDC cycling and infrastructure,
particularly in the National Cathedral/Wisconsin Ave/Mass Ave node, I'd be
very interested to see them. I lived in The Chancery apartments from Jan
'84 until December '88, and took up cycling again there after a few-year
hiatus.

Isn't this Cherry Blossom time? I recall a Cherry Blossom period ride along
the path that ran between the Kennedy Center and the Potomac; crisp, clear,
blue sky no clouds, cherry trees in full spate, and regrettably a pretty
girl with a flat who had was already being assisted by another gentleman. I
was riding either a weirdly cheaply spec'd Cannondale sports tourer sold by
LL Bean for $275 shipped, or a Alvit 5 speed Sprite with North Road bars
flipped and chopped.

Re: [RBW] Re: rave review for Appaloosa

I wasn't riding anything as nice as your bike -- a '91 Specialized
Stumpjumper Team, hotrodded for road -- but I recall an incident where
(Gallup, NM) I stupidly got my front wheel into a grating and flipped over
the bar. A line of cars went by, some of the occupants laughing, but an
old, primered pickup stopped with 2 Deliverance types inside. The passenger
rolled down his window and concernedly asked me if I was alright, and if I
needed a ride. (I took the ride, to the hospital where I was PR Director.)
Turn's out Bill and Bub were on their way to a machinist to get their
Harley's or Harleys' valves ground. No shit!

Warms my heart still!
