[RBW] ENO eccentric rear hub

[Ruben Flores]

Hello, R and R on this wheel is the same as any bolted axle wheel, except you 
first have to untension the chain and tension after installation. 

Loosen axle bolts, use box wrench to move eccentric axle, chain will go slack, 
remove wheel from dropout.

To install reverse the process.

[RBW] Re: cork-grip removal

[Jim S.]

I appreciate your appreciation - one more cool part - when I fired up the 
second cork grip, the smoke started billowing out the open hole on the 
other side of the handlebar. I've never had a handlebar smokestack. When 
the wife and kids got home, they kept asking what that funny smell was. I 
just left it alone.

[RBW] Head Badge

[Surlyprof]

Alcohol will loosen the adhesive on most double stick tape.  If you can squeeze 
a little between the headtube and badge a few times while using the dental 
floss, it should go easier.  I’d rub it on an inconspicuous place first to make 
sure it doesn’t mar the finish.

[RBW] Head Badge

[Christopher Murray]

Rivendell has this info. There was an article on the site about 12 or so years 
ago. I’m pretty sure they recommended using dental floss. Get it between the 
badge and tube and work your way down slowly and carefully. The badge can be 
put back on with 3M double sided automotive tape— the stuff to put your Honda 
badge back on your Honda. Any automotive parts store should have it. 

I’d definitely call Riv to verify.

Cheers!
Chris

With all due respect, what is wrong with the Clem L she has and does she 
want a different frame??

The Clem L fits her according to the RBW sizing chart and your info, and is 
a road bike.  Does she want drop bars??   If so, the 50 AHH, 50 Atlantis or 
51 Roadeo would work, or the Rodini (not on the charts at this time).

Small Riv's rarely come up here.  Maybe CL is different.  It may be a long

recommendation.

[RBW] Re: Bar wrap direction

[lum gim fong]

I have found end-to-stem cotton bartape/twine/shellac gets loose after a 
year of riding for me. The twine and cotton rotates like a solid cuff when 
it gets loose. Adding shellac gets it to stick to the bar again.

I have since gone to blue lizard skins and twine looks good on it, too. But 
again, the twined part is loosening in less than a year. Rotates a little 
like a solid cuff piece.
Next time I might wrap from the stem back to not have to use any holding 
device on the end.
I like the Lizard Skins blue. It matches the Rambouillet well.

My beloved San Marcos appears to be the same blue (which is stunning) so I 
can't argue with the choice and the savings.

However, I am a bit sad not to see a candy apple and cream Cheviot.  I will

I look forward to seeing the pictures.

Re: [RBW] Bar wrap direction

[René Sterental]

Just out of curiosity, when wrapping the tape this way, how do you hold
both ends under the brake lever so they don’t unwrap? And how do you ensure
there are no gaps between both tapes on the opposite side of the lever?

René - trying to wrap my mind around this...

[RBW] Re: A Homer Hilsen vs LHT - Will I notice a difference?

[Coal Bee Rye Anne]

Hi Drew, I have no experience with either of the models you mention and not 
sure how soon you realistically plan to make the change or when you plan to 
make the trek from Seattle to Portland but have you considered taking the 
trip on your existing LHT (which would seem more than suitable as a touring 
specific model) and then while in Portland swing by Rivelo for some test 
rides to compare side by side (assuming they'll have something your size?) 

Unless the Seattle to Portland trip is some kind of organized and faster 
paced randonneur type event?  If so, then I guess that further explains 
your desire for something more lively but if you just plan on casually 
taking the trip on your own then I stand behind my suggestion.

I've often been tempted by that which I do not have, and I too have 
considered saving up for an AHH (64cm Sam was Waterford made and no longer 
an option anyway so my Sam vs AHH question = 67cm AHH by default)

Although I aspire to live the one or two bike life it remains to be seen.  
I've often pondered the question of what ONE bike may satisfy all my future 
needs but I know I still have more to learn and a few more experiments with 
existing projects I need to get out of my system before I'll be ready to 
make any firm decisions.  It was wisely suggested to me to keep what I've 
got for at least another year, ride what I think I could live with, and if 
needed, change what I ride to suit my changing needs/tastes.  So far, this 
is exactly what I'm doing... but this isn't about me, it's about 
you... and by borrowing the same logic it made me wonder why not ride the 
LHT to Portland first?

My SV-8 is lightly used.

Both would be silver 32h. Trade your hub for a lighter, lower resistance

This is so I can trade the 32h PV-8 for a 36h PV-8. Maybe this is getting 
too complicated though.

[RBW] Free: 2 fleece neck gaiters

[Patrick Moore]

Well used, but still warm and both reasonably clean. Tag reads something
like "Seirus Innovation". Unstretched dimensions, profile view: 10" long
and 7" high.

Takem both if you can usem both, but don't takem if'n you cain't usem.

I'll pay postage; you be patient.

I find that if, in cold weather, I don't keep my neck warm, I get a sore
throat, which devolves seriatim into sniffles, hoarsness, heavy sore
throat, sinus infection, and thence to severe pulmonary infection, but I've
also found that a nice, wool scarf works better than these -- I often wear
a wool scarf to bed, and I had a nice Royal Stewart cut in half lengthwise
to use while riding -- warmth without the bulk. Thus, these are yours if
you can use them.

[RBW] Re: Heron ephemera

[LBleriot]

Thanks for posting this.  I love my Heron Road that I purchased from an 
iBob member last year.  There's something about it, the narrower tires or 
the wheels or the tubing, that makes this bike feel a bit snappier than any 
of my Rivs.  Plus, the Bailey Falls Blue is an awesome color, and the DT 
decal is a cool tri-color resurrected today on the Roadini.

I own a Bleriot too and going from it to the Heron is like going from Land 
Rover to Jag; both good in different ways.

Re: [RBW] Re: Minimalist cycling shoe article.

[Patrick Moore]

And a very good one; great fun. "Penticleat." That sounds a whole lot more
real-life than so many "real life" corporate names I come across, which
sound like very bad satire. "Cydifex" the new antibiotic.

Personally, I think the world needs an April Fools for each month of the
year.

[RBW] Re: Rivendell Bike Options for Seat Heigh of 65

[Garth]

Howz 'bout the 44.5 Atlantis, a 48cm Sam or 47cm. Homer along with the 47 
Roadini mentioned ?  

Lots of choices ! 

As fas as the Trek frame, comparing bike fit reach is not so simple as 
measuring the TT alone .  Different seat tube angles alone will skew the 
comparisons, and I bet the Trek has a steeper STA than any Riv does. Them 
you get into seatpost setback and rail length and you've got yourself into 
a bit of pickle :)  You'd be best consulting with Riv. first.

[RBW] Rivendell Bike Options for Seat Heigh of 65

[Jonathan D.]

I was thinking that for 2018 I would like to get my wife a new Rivendell. I was 
thinking of something like the Sam Hillborne, since I think it is one of the 
best value, all around bikes Riv sells. She does have a 45 Clementine, but I 
think that fills a different niche.  I measured her bike seat height on an old 
aluminium women's Trek 1000 and it is 65 cm and her TT is 50 cm. That is a 
small bike and she definitely couldn't fit a 51 Sam. Besides a custom, what Riv 
bikes do you think would work for her?  I mostly want to start keeping an eye 
out in case one shows up on the list or craigslist in 2018.

I thought that maybe a black mountain cycles Road bike could work as well but 
the 52 might be too big.

Re: [RBW] Re: Minimalist cycling shoe article.

[lum gim fong]

I like my Lems 925 shoes but haven't ridden with them yet. Crazy cold in MD 
right now keeps me off-bike. Too cold for me. I don't know how Patrick does in 
in Colorado. Maybe Colorado 15 and Maryland 15 ain't the same.

But I have always been a spring/summer weather lover. 

Anyway, I hope the Lems will be good for riding. Hopefully back up in the 40's 
soon so I can ride again.

[RBW] Re: Bike Trainer Thoughts

[Coal Bee Rye Anne]

+1 for going second-hand, especially if you aren't yet sure what features 
you'll prefer.  We opted for something new and in the middle of the pack 
but made sure it had all the features we wanted and nothing we didn't 
want.  We wanted it to be quiet, stable, no frills and easy to set-up/take 
down.  The CycleOps we went with checks all those boxes and didn't have all 
the electronic gadgetry we knew we wouldn't use, but had we been able to 
find a used higher end but similar model for the same cost or less we may 
have been willing to go for it.  If my wife decides she'd like to take the 
same bike out on the road it's only a matter of undoing the rear axle 
(using the helpful levers like Ted referenced) and putting a rear QR wheel 
back on... as long as the cassettes match so your shifter/derailer 
adjustment remains the same.

Just this fall a friend offered us their no longer used trainer... I was 
tempted to take them up on the offer and compare the models to see which 
we'd actually prefer but the reality is that we simply don't have the space 
and I'd personally prefer to get out and ride in the cold anyway so it 
would just continue collecting dust.

A few trainer thoughts, I''m not sure if any were already mentioned above.  
Do yourself a big favor and don't buy a new trainer.  I've bought 3 on 
Craigslist for $35 to $40, they work perfectly well.  The last 2 were 
CycleOps magnetic, I gave one to my daughter.  Look for metal construction

Both! I wrap from the end to the brake lever and from the stem to the brake 
lever. No twine or tucking necessary. Works especially well if doing a weave.

[RBW] Re: A Homer Hilsen vs LHT - Will I notice a difference?

[Surlyprof]

I absolutely love the AHH but can +1 the Hillborne.  It’s a great blend of 
solid and lively.  I bought mine to upgrade from a Cross Check that I had tried 
to make into a budget Riv.  The CC was a good, fun and very solid bike that 
took 42 Schwalbes with room to spare.  I always had a few issues with the Cross 
Check, though.  One, it was both heavy and stiff.  Even though the CC was 
supposed to be livelier than the LHT, I wouldn’t call it lively.  Second, the 
geometry kept me from getting the bars above the saddle.  I even bought an 
uncut fork to raise them which made for an awkward looking stack.  The last big 
problem was toe overlap (toverlap?).  Probably won’t be a problem with the LHT. 
 Ultimately, by the time I replaced the CC with the Hillborne, I’d spent just 
as much money creating my “budget Riv” as I would have just buying the Sam 
initially.  And, the Hillborne has been a better fit and a much more fun, 
lively road bike, fire trail bike (different wheelset) and commuter that 
carries 20#+ without a complaint.

Good luck with your decision.

[RBW] Bar wrap direction

[Coal Bee Rye Anne]

Agreed regarding thick cork tape not playing nice with the tuck and plug 
method.  But sounds like Rivet has sized their plug specifically to allow this 
so like Philip suggested I’d give it go with their recommended method first and 
see how it works for you.

One thing I found for direction of wrap however is that for the “roof shingle” 
effect it could depend on where you spend most of your time on the bars if 
running drops.  if you spend more time IN the drops then end to stem will have 
the shingle facing front going into the hooks but same direction of wrap will 
then have the shingle facing rear up on the ramps... so if you are more of a 
hoods and ramps rider you may want to wrap stem to end to get that front facing 
overlap up top.

I discovered that being an issue only when using some cotton tape for the 2nd 
or 3rd time and with the tackiness limited from the loss of glue... after only 
a few rides the tape was getting spread apart up on the ramps and it became 
less an issue after I redid and reversed the wrap since I knew I’d be on the 
ramps more for that particular build.
