[RBW] Re: Where is Grant's guide to photographing your bike?

It was in the BLUG before it was the BLUG— maybe 2010ish? I’m sure if you email 
Grant he’ll have a copy of it somewhere.

[RBW] Re: FS-Joe Appaloosa

[Gossamer]

Ok All, some of you have been very kind and patient seeing my posts...I 
appreciate that. I'm giving it one more try and then I'm putting this 
beautiful bike on eBay or Craigslist or both. 

I don't think $1800 is too much for this bike. And if you want to have it 
shipped to you, BikeFlights is around $75 to most places...I would cover 
the boxing of it by my LBS.

There is NOTHING wrong with this bike, it comes with all that is mentioned 
previously and has fewer than 30 miles on it.

Please pm me if you have any questions.

Re: [RBW] Re: Contemplations on Crank Arm Length and Fixed Gear Riding

[Patrick Moore]

IME, headwinds and non-variable gearing require a considerable mental
adjustment but, when you have made that, headwinds are not so bad. And it
helps a great deal if you have a riding position for heavy winds that both
reduces your frontal area and, I believe just as important if not more so,
kicks up your power output, which happens when you bend more at the hips.
Together, a mellow, forgiving, humble, and patient attitude, paired with a
near-as-you-can butt-back, flat-back position, make a huge difference in
dealing with headwinds. And retention helps; I find myself pulling back
quite deliberately on the pedals to maintain cadence.

Still and all, mental fortitude and bending over work for winds in the 20
to 30 mph range; when they hit 40 (as ours did the other day, with even
higher gusts), lower gears do help a bit.

Nice bike Carla! Is that a top tub badge of the moon, stars, mountains and

Sunday I rode it on a partially frozen Wissahickon trail in Philly. Even 
had some single track adventures as we were detoured off the main train

Re: [RBW] Contemplations on Crank Arm Length and Fixed Gear Riding

[Patrick Moore]

But what are the lengths of the 2 cranks? I guess at 175 and 172.5 ... did
I win?

I use 170s on my fixed road bikes, and only used a longer cranks fixed --
175 -- on the brief (6 mos?) trial of riding fixed off road. I did install
175s on the Matthews ("road bike for dirt), but that has multiple gears so
that I can upshift when I run out of rpm.

Actually, come to think of it, I did briefly use 172.5 Dura Ace 7410s on
the erstwhile Ram, but didn't notice a difference. I do notice a difference
between my 175 cranks and the 170s; 175 on the fixed gear mtb felt horrible
when trying to spin -- it had a 60" gear, and downhills were torture; which
is why I want back to 170s on that bike. And I do notice that I run out of
steam at lower r's pm on the 175 mm Matthews than on the Rivs in the same
gears.

But I wonder how much of this is due to Q and how much due to the 5mm of
additional crank length; both the mtb and the Matthews have ~ 160 mm Qs
while the 2 Rivs are at 130.

In any event, I'd rather grunt a bit more up hill in order to be able to
spin easier downhill, thus 170s for my Rivs. Jury still out on the
Matthews; may eventually swap the 175s for 170s.

[RBW] Re: Contemplations on Crank Arm Length and Fixed Gear Riding

[JohnS]

DP,

That's a nice looking crank. Looks a lot like the FSA crank that I bought 
from Riv about 5 years ago. 175mm length on my QB these days. We've having 
a very windy past couple of weeks, glad to have the extra leverage when 
cranking up a hill into a head wind. I've had to use the low gear on the 
fixed two speed Bendix hub more as well. This morning was the exception, 
the wind died down, no need for the low gear.

Re: [RBW] Sam and a thousand miles

Congratulations on the first 1K. And, nice bike. What are the tires
(make/model, and width)?

Patrick Moore, who just put 19 more miles on his (much modified) '03,
turning otherwise tedious errands into joyful riding, in sunny, warmish,
and breezy ABQ, NM. (And who was once again delighted at how all positions
are comfortable: ramps, hoods, hooks; with the winds and a fixed
drivetrain, I was in the hooks for at least 10 miles/19).

My wife, also a cyclist and in her 60s, arranged health checks for all her 
staff at work a few years ago. When the time came for her to have the 
checkup, they asked her if she was using beta blockers, as her resting 
pulse rate was 48.

[RBW] Joe Appaloosa: My first Rivendell

[Jonathan]

Today marks 1000 miles on my Appaloosa that I bought last fall, so I 
thought I'd make a post about it. It is my first Rivendell. I joined this 
group right around the time I ordered it. 


It's primarily my commuter. I ride to work year round in Milwaukee, in all 
weather. (I put the Appaloosa away for the winter, though, and rode my old 
beater with the studded tires.) The roads just got cleaned up enough to get 
it back out last week. I love this bike. It made me a believer in upright 
riding. It is such a beautiful, comfortable, useful bike. I love it more 
than any bike I have ever owned. I love it so much that I ended up ordering 
a new Canti-Sam frameset to be my long distance road bike, and then a 
couple weeks ago, I also pre-ordered a Clem L for my wife. 

I bought the bike complete, so it's standard Riv-build, plus racks, bags, 
and fenders. I swapped the bars soon after I got it for the Chocomoose. 
Most of my miles are on those bars. Right before the snow hit last fall, I 
tried a set of Bullmoose bars and really liked them, but didn't get many 
miles in with them. Then, I picked up a set of "bad angle" Boscomoose bars 
over the winter, and have been riding those for the past week. I think I 
like them better than the Chocos, but not sure if these or the Bullmoose 
will win out in the end... 

I'm excited to put a lot more miles on it this year.

Re: [RBW] Re: Smooth Factor of lighter rim brake steel forks

[Patrick Moore]

Grant has stated, long ago if not often, that fat/fattish tires and
handlbars absorb so much bump that forks are largely irrelevant in doing
so. I know Jan believes that thin-blade, heavily raked forks do a great
deal to absorb bumps. I'd be curious to know more about this in general,
and in particular, about any putatively bump-absorbing fork that is strong
enough to use with a disc brake. Not interested in shock forks, me.

Did you cut the steerer tube on the fork or is that the original height of it?

Bill, your bikes are always well-appointed and seem to fit you 
perfectly. Thanks for sharing pics, details, and data. 

 

I know the intended use of the BMC is different than your Sam, but I’d love 
comparisons. I’m in between Sam sizes, and the BMC might be a better fit.


  

  

  Bill Lindsay : Mar 15 08:29PM -0700




A BMC Monster Cross with some Barlow Pass EL o light wheels would make 
a splendid road bike. Put some racks and fenders on it and now it’s a touring 
bike. It’s a very capable and very versatile bike.

I'm going to regret this, but for sale is a Waterford built 2006 A. Homer 

Hilsen that I have owned it since 2010. When I bought the bike, I thought 

I'd own it for the rest of my life, but it turns out that it just doesn't 

fit the type of riding I'm doing as well as I thought it would. It is one 

of the more beautiful frames I've ever put my eyes on and when I purchased 

it I painstakingly cleaned the frame and carefully touched up all the chips 

with matching enamel paint (first sign that I'm not a true "Riv guy"). 

 

The paint is darker blue than the current Homer and anyone that is paying 

attention knows that the AHH has gone through a lot of hues of blue over 

the years. I was also missing the brifter index shifting from my sportier 

road bike, so Homer's bar end shifters got swapped for a full Shimano 

Ultegra 6500 triple groupset (second sign that I'm not a true Riv believer) 

which I believe to be the last classically beautiful group that Shimano 

produced. I don't need to go into how great these frames are and how well 

they handle, or how beautiful they are, but I will say that the size 59 

frame was on the verge of being too big for my 5'11" frame, but it was 

still comfortable for a couple of 100 mile plus rides that I did on it. The 

larger than normal sizing and the low seat post was one Grantism that I do 

believe in for this bike which made it extremely comfortable for long rides.

 

Further details on the build are a full Nitto cockpit & seatpost including 

46cm Noodle handlebars wrapped with brooks honey leather tape that could 

use some moisturizing but still has plenty of life. A set of classic

Hypothetically, could you lop off 30mm, making it 190mm and then use spacers to

needed. But 190mm doesn’t seem that big

Don't know about anything that Grant wrote, but our blog moderator has this

but there's enough to learn from what he says about backdrop, lighting,

[RBW] Re: PSA: crust 1in threaded disc forks

[EasyRider]

I'm interested in this fork for my old Trek 950 and any future Riv that 
might join the stable, but the Crust fork has a 220mm steerer tube, and my 
Trek's headtube, like me, is pretty short. Are there "rules" for how long 
is too long a steerer?

FWIW, I don't think I'd go to the trouble of cutting it down and having new 
threads cut, since that'd get me close to a custom fork in price.

I've gotten a few rides in since they arrived and really like them. The 
widened grip makes it feel closer to a Jones H-bar, but not quite as 
extreme. Plus looks better. It does move forward a few inches so I'm 
thinking of a shorter stem to compensate. Here's some picts for comparison 
between Kite and Albatross.

[RBW] Re: PSA: crust 1in threaded disc forks

['Clayton' via RBW Owners Bunch]

I was just thinking about rim availability and the future of my 26" 
Atlantis. 
My mental mumbles:
"Should I start buying rims What about hubs without Disc mounts.Who 
would have thought that they would go away? *My Atlantis might get retired 
due to lack of outdated stuff?  *Sure sounds like an oxymoron. "

[RBW] Re: New Bike Day! Black Mountain Monster Cross

[Chris]

Great Looking bike! I have a Rootbeer MonsterCross and love it! Can't wait 
to get mine back to the West Coast this summer (Puget Sound area) and start 
riding again, Chesapeake VA sucks for cycling...  would love to have those 
wheels, I have A23s with 105 hubs with Rock 'n Roll tires and they are ok 
but the Belgiums would be the bomb!

[RBW] Where is Grant's guide to photographing your bike?

[Edwin W]

I remember Grant writing a guide to taking a picture of your bike, but I 
can't find it.
Does anyone know where it is?

[RBW] Re: New Bike Day! Black Mountain Monster Cross

One slightly negative aspect of these SRAM brake levers on this flared drop 
handlebar:

The top of the SRAM S500 lever body is fairly flat and that offers a nice flat 
continuation of the ramp into the hood on a normal drop bar. On these flared 
drops, the lever is tilted inward and so that flat top is tilted as well. I 
find there is a corner on the outside trailing edge of the lever body that kind 
of pokes my hand. My full finger gloves are not padded at all. I’ll give it a 
little more time with padded gloves as well. I think I could shape the plastic 
of the levers to address the issue if it proves to be an annoyance. It’s just 
something I notice now in this new cockpit.

Thanks for the report. I have a 56 coming and I am excited to try it out.  It 
seems like such a versatile bike.

Same coverage from a slightly different angle here: 
http://www.bbc.com/news/health-43308729.

As one of my fellow retiree cyclists said on reading it: "One bloke reckons 
he has the body fat of a 19 year-old. I can beat that - I have the body fat 
of four 19 year-olds."

[RBW] Re: New Bike Day! Black Mountain Monster Cross

['kobe' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Thanks for posting pictures of your BMC. I have one in orange and the new 
green is so loud, obnoxious and awesome it makes we trade up. Great build, 
I had 50's on mine but they were a tad big for the riding I was doing and 
went back to the Rock N Roads.
