Oh, Ty, thank you - I’m touched. I’m glad to hear your dog made it through his 
surgeries and that you’ve had many happy years. They go so quickly, don’t they. 
I hope you’re able to squeeze every last drop of joy from his golden years and 
that you know you did your best for him. He’s clearly been well-loved. And 
cleverly named. Cheers to Guinness! And to you.
PS my dog continues to defy odds and act like a puppy. I have videos to prove 
how bad off he really was. If not for those, even I would accuse me of 
exaggerating his pain and suffering.

[RBW] Re: Microsoft Thumbies Inside Mount

[Joe Bernard]

It depends. You have to do the swap on pullback bars, but you could just rotate 
them over on a flatbar and probably still have decent reach. But the swap is 
what you're looking for if both sides are friction: You want the ratchet for 
the rear derailer.

[RBW] Re: Bicycle Belle Ding Ding

[Ty Smith]

New to the forum and just have to say I love this post, particularly the 
section about your dog. I read it out loud to my wife and we both cried.

I have two dogs, one of which is an 11-year-old Yorkshire Terrier named 
Guinness. He had surgery for luxating patella on both knees when he was 
very young. He is still very spry, but my wife and I can tell he is 
starting to get achy.He will just come to a stop in the middle of a walk. 
When that happens, we just pick him up and carry him home. At 12 lbs, that 
is doable. 

 I am dreading the day when he is in too much pain to walk. I love your 
solution particularly since it obviously gave  him some relief. We have a 
mini doggyride trailer that converts to a stroller.We got it years ago when 
he was having his knee surgeries. At least we are ready to go when it 
becomes too much for him to walk at all.

Thanks again for the story and the pictures. I hope your dog continues to 
feel better.

Best,

Ty Smith
San Mateo,CA

Here are Guinness and Penny in the trailer doing a test-run on my Xtracycle:




Here they are posing in front of it out near the Facebook campus. 


 Guinness is closer to the bike.

[Erik Wright]

I just got a pair of these for a new build with flat bars but will probably 
use them in the future on a build like this. In order to mount them on the 
inside, do you have to swap shifters and use the front ratchet shifter for 
the rear and the rear indexed/friction for the front?

The angle of the photo has an elongating effect. I was talking up, not out. 
So maybe it was a (bad) skinny joke? But please, never look for meaning in 
any of my comments, grasshopper.

Hi Leah. Did you grow while you were away? The boots you *would* grab? I'd 
keep 'em real close from here on out. In fact you may want to sleep in 
them. You are right, though, an all-out sprint from a zombie or two would 
render the Twofish inoperable in no time. But then, you don't want to be 
taking hands off the bars at a moment like that. Apocalypse bicycle 
equipment selection can be plain darn confusing! But the red boots, no

The tires in this photos are Clement Xplor 40s, I've had Compass 38s, which 
will also permit fenders easily, and right now it has 42 Somas. With 
releases at the cable hanger and also at the lever, no need to deflate even 
the biggest tires. I really like the vintage Dia Compe/Weinmann, and I find 
that even the 750 gives plenty of well-modulated stopping power. I think 
that is the 610, which I 
switched to a Weinmann 750 because it just barely reached, and as pads wear 
on the cps, they go up...

In any event, I guess cantis could be a nice option, as well as the two 
water bottle mounts, but for most users I think the way it was spec'd is 
right on.

 It's going to be just gorgeous with the cream contrasts, and is sort of

[RBW] What is a Rivvish bike?

[Bill Lindsay]

I went back to RivHQ this morning to transact some business. Since several of 
them expressed interest in seeing my Niner in person, I rode that in. Corey, 
Roman, Robert, Mark, and Grant all gathered around and all of them had nothing 
but positive things to say about it. Grant was particularly tickled that the 
Lauf fork says “Just Ride” on it. Grant also pointed out that the Niner slogan 
“Pedal dammit” needs a comma.

On my 55 Cheviot, I don't think cantilever brakes would add much tire 
clearance. I'm able to fit Compass 38mm tires under VO fenders, just 
barely. The front brake is problematic, but in the end I don't think 
removing it would create more than a couple extra mm.

[RBW] Re: Winterizing Ideas?

[Deacon Patrick]

Executive Summery Conclusion: Drum brakes and IGH (except Rollof and possibly a 
7sp. Torpedo) are not designed for rough riding and folks who are riding IGH 
and/or drum brakes off pavement are always fiddling with their bikes and it is 
almost never a long term, reliable solution, but instead one that is always 
breaking and needing fixing — the fiddler’s dream! Thus, neither is the 
solution I seek and instead of a Tranformapillar, I will focus on the 
Contentapillar. Grin.

The Journey 
The last two days I’ve been riding the Hunqapillar in wannabe 3-speed mode. 
It’s been a fascinating experience — similar to the simplicity of singlespeed, 
but with the ability to shift to a certain point without stopping. A lot less 
thinking about gear shifts, so I may well incorporate it into my routine, 
essentially skipping two gears each shift.

I spoke with Grant, who was, as ever, very generious beyond all reasonable 
expectations and even some unreasonable ones. He had some ideas on how to lube 
the pivots in my derailure to possibly encourage shifting when frozen, or at 
least making it easier for my hand to manually shift.

All of this is the result of a very good thing — ongoing brain healing that 
allows me to be stupider farther out in all conditions. Grin. Thus I seek ways 
to maximize the liklihood of my gear not failing 30 miles from home. Grin.

Thank you all for your generosity in playing with this with me. Ride with wild 
abandon!

WIth abandon,
Patrick

Ace Hardware usually has a pretty good selection of bolts. From what I’ve 
learned about bicycle fasteners, chrome-plated steel is stronger than 
stainless, so that’s an option for you as well.

Re: [RBW] Re: Binder bolt and nut specs?

[Bill Lindsay]

In my experience, both Home Depot and Lowes suck for bicycle fasteners.  
Home Depot sucks way more than Lowes, but both are pretty useless.  A 
proper fastener store is best for having everything, but they often hate 
you if you are only buying 1.  Ebay has essentially everything, but 
sometimes you have to buy a bag of several.  M6x1.0mm 20mm length is 
something you may use on other things: a stem bolt, mounting a cantilever 
brake, on some Riv rack eyelets.  A bag of 10 for $5.65 shipped is what I'm 
seeing from this vendor:  ebay link 

  

That way you don't even need to leave your home.  Stock up on all the 
common sizes and shop from your own inventory.

 I broke my binder bolt on tour and stopped in a local hardware store 
 and picked up a few extras for a few dollars. I put a dab of grease on it 
 and haven't had any problems since.

 I was taught to tighten the binder bolt just tight enough so that you 
 can't rotate the seatpost in the seat tube, and that should be enough 
 torque to keep it from slipping vertically.

I really love the idea of the candy apple red paint job.  A similar color

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/rbw-owners-bunch/saluki%7Csort:date/rbw-owners-bunch/toarUeDZ5mo/cxVVDSfAAgAJ.
   
I was so very tempted since the bike was my size.  But I just bought a new 
bike and couldn't justify it to myself.  If I was going for a custom paint

inner 10 year old like a shiny new bright red bike :)  Kuddos for making

Both Home Depot and Lowe's were sold out of M6-1.0 x20mm stainless socket

Re: [RBW] Cheviot dreaming

[Tim Gavin]

Mark in Beacon -

AFAIK, the prime motivator for canti brakes vs long-reach sidepulls is
fender clearance (ameliorated by switching to long-reach centerpulls, as
you suggest.
An additional motivator would be better brake feel due to the long, flexy
arms of long-reach sidepulls or DC centerpulls (ameliorated by using
non-flexy centerpulls like Paul or Compass).
Another additional motivator would be the ease of removing a wheel from
open cantilevers (super easy), compared to open sidepull/centerpull brakes
(may need to deflate tire).

Eh, it's not a thing for me. I only use one bottle at a time, and usually carry

Re: [RBW] Re: Binder bolt and nut specs?

[Bill Lindsay]

OK you were asking for the SIZE of the seat post binder bolt on a Rivendell 
frame?  Woosh!  I missed that entirely.  I guess size is one of many 
specifications.  I concur with Brendan that it's an M6.

Re: [RBW] Cheviot dreaming

[Leah Peterson]

But Mark, you don’t understand. The dream Cheviot HAS to have two bottle mounts 
because the Dream Cheviot is the world’s most over-prepared bike. At least 
according to The Book of Leah, it is. The bike would have dyno lighting and the 
heaviest-duty racks and giant Wald baskets and Sackville bags everywhere. Also, 
the Dream Cheviot would go perfectly with my red End of the World Boots - the 
boots I would grab if everything was falling apart. You know, like in The 
Walking Dead. Two bottle mounts would be mandatory if I had to outride the 
zombies. You can’t just have the Two-Fish thing jiggling around on the frame 
like that, no sir.

[RBW] Re: Binder bolt and nut specs?

[Brendan McD]

It uses an M6 bolt and nut. I think the length of the bolt is 20mm, but you 
may be able to get away with a shorter length. 

I broke my binder bolt on tour and stopped in a local hardware store and 
picked up a few extras for a few dollars. I put a dab of grease on it and 
haven't had any problems since.

I was taught to tighten the binder bolt just tight enough so that you can't 
rotate the seatpost in the seat tube, and that should be enough torque to 
keep it from slipping vertically.

Re: [RBW] Re: Binder bolt and nut specs?

[Bill Lindsay]

haha OK

I think you are asking for what value to set on your calibrated adjustable 
torque wrench for the seat post binder bolt on a Rivendell frame.  Correct?

There is none.  Tighten it just enough so it doesn't slip.  Do not 
overtighten.  

Here's a link to Park Tool's article on the topic, where they have a 
recommended value for everything, and notably say there is no value for 
seat post clamps.   
https://www.parktool.com/blog/repair-help/torque-specifications-and-concepts#article-section-4

If I really really wanted a number, I'd use the same as the M6 bolt for 
brake pads (44-60 in-lbs).  The most common pre-set torque wrench is 5 
ft-lb (60 in-lb), so it might be convenient to use one of those.

Re: [RBW] Cheviot dreaming

[Joe Bernard]

As long as it fits my 650b x 41 Fatty Rumpkins I'm happy. It may be a tad snug 
with fenders, but I'm thinking of running roadie-style clip-on/pop-off 
mudguards anyway 'cause it's dry here most of the year. Also, I'm not a big fan 
of adding brake stresses to a frame in areas it wasn't designed for. Grant 
designed this with road calipers and I like the long-reach Tektros he sells.

Hey Mark, your friend's Cheviot is my size. You gotta test it to make sure I'll 
like it! ;-)

Re: [RBW] Cheviot dreaming

['Mark in Beacon' via RBW Owners Bunch]

How much more tire would that get you, front and rear? The specs say it can 
take a 650B/45 or a 700c/50. That is a ton o' tire. If you really need 
more, brake reach is listed as 65 (Tektro 559?), but if you went with Dia 
Compe 750 centerpulls, would that get you more height (which I assume is 
the limiting factor here?)

Also, complaints about only one water bottle mount on the Cheviots are 
popular. I have lots of bikes with none. Most of my rides I only need  one 
bottle, so I have some version of a clamped on holder. If I figure I will 
be out all of a summer's day, I sometimes supplement with the twofish 
bottle thing. Not the most elegant, but for occasional use it works just 
fine. Or if all your riding is 40+ miles, you could use a clamped cage. The 
Zefal vintage cages are pretty.  I'm about to install one on my dress-up 
bike. Or go super duper old school retro and get a handlebar mounted cage. 
Fun! Or ride with a domestique or two. It's up to you.

BTW, tip of the hat to Joe B for alerting me to the Harris Cheviot. I in 
turn told my friend, and she bought it then hopped in the car and drove 
three hours to pick it up. I'll be seeing it and helping her get fitted 
this Friday. Looking forward to it. Of course I will need to take a bit of 
a test ride!

Re: [RBW] Re: 3-Speed MTBing Resources?

[Philip Williamson]

Patrick is right - you get twice as much gear change in the rear as the 
front. But... you can get three times the range if you change them both, 
right? 

I had a plan to make a 2x2, mostly for fun. Once you've got a tensioner, it 
may as well be a derailleur. Conversely, if you've got a chainkeeper in 
front, it may as well be a derailleur. I think the main impetus was too 
many parts in the bin, and redundant fixed gear bikes. And the White DOS 
ENO freewheels don't have big jumps.

Joe,
This will be a cool bike. As long as you're getting the custom paint, did
you consider have canti posts added? That's the one thing I wish my Cheviot
had but doesn't. The frame has generous clearance, but tire size is limited
by the brake calipers. (It's certainly easier to spend your money than my
own.)

A 1 x 3 rear cogs would give you bigger range with less axle movement and

Re: [RBW] Re: Enjoying autumn colors

[Patrick Moore]

I was particularly struck by the misty, wet forest scenes -- very different
from high desert New Mexico, and not at all what we in most of the US would
first think of at the mention of "fall pictures." But beautiful; one
imagines elusive Tolkein-ian elves threading their way unobtrusively
through the undergrowth on their way to some mystical elven gathering
(probably to get drunk on miruvor. (Which leads my undisciplined
imagination toward that Simpson's parody of the Disney Snow White dwarfs,
but let's not go there).

If you have more photos, please post them!

Re: [RBW] Re: 3-Speed MTBing Resources?

[Patrick Moore]

Chris: I've always thought that the more shifting you can leave the the
rear, the simpler and better off you are; that's one reason, I guess, why
1X drivetrains are so popular now, and for decades people have been leaving
off the FD to make things as trouble free as possible. Front shifting is
always more problematic than rear shifting.

Also, you get a lot more ratio change from a tooth change in back than from
a tooth change in front.

So, I wonder what the advantages of 3 X 1 will be?

[RBW] Re: Enjoying autumn colors

I love your pictures. So evocative! Autumn is my favourite season, but in 
Winnipeg , MB the autumn colours maybe last 6-7 weeks. Depending on the 
weather, especially the wind our trees can be pretty naked by Halloween. I 
do love the colours while they last though in cloudy or clear conditions

[Bicycle Belle Ding Ding!]

A candy apple red Cheviot is my dream bike. With two bottle mounts, as WETH 
said. The cream accents will just be luscious. I might be nearly as excited as 
you. For me it's always been between lipstick pink with cream (like that list 
member Sumihra sp?) or else the red. But in the end, it must be red. Timeless. 
Classy. Eternal. You won't be able to post enough pictures. When do we get to 
see?

The Nokian A10s are good for regularly plowed roads. They measure around 
35mm, so they'll look tiny on a Clem but would work fine for commuting on 
plowed roads. I used them for a couple winters in Chicago on a 650b road

They're not ideal for more snowy roads. For that I'd go with a 2.1" option.

Interesting to see two iterations on the website in a relatively short 
amount of time. I wonder if they're using the same backend, and if the most 
recent changes were driven by data or just a switch in platform.  

Overall, I like the new site even more than the most recent version. Agreed 
that a "history" section and a "Owner's Gallery" (a la Surly's website) 
would be cool.

Joe,
I love my Cheviot.  For the type of riding I enjoy, it is my favorite of the 
Rivs I've owned or own (Atlantis, Romulus, Road Standard).  It is almost the 
perfect bike. One more set of water bottle cage braze-ons  and it is perfect!

It will look stunning in red; can't wait to see photos.

[RBW] Re: Enjoying autumn colors

[Takashi]

Patrick and Ann,

Thank you!
I was smiling when riding under the trees, and when I came home and looked 
through photos I took, they made me smile once again.

Patrick, I don't remember about trees in the US very well, but yes, we have 
yellow, orange, and red leaves here.
But a friend of mine in Hiroshima (warmer place in Japan) said that it's 
less colorful there in autumn, so it depends.

BTW, sky and cloud in your picture looks brilliant!
If you want brilliant colors of leaves, going near the trees and looking up 
works better, maybe?

Takashi
