[RBW] Re: Anyone in Santa Barbara that can help me assemble my riv?

[nick b]

I live in the area and could help you but like another person posted I'd 
recommend just going to Bici Centro and you'll get it put together well and 
learn a bunch in the process.  It's where I put together my first custom 
build.  Ask for Raph.  He'll be fucking stoked to help you put together a 
Rivendell, trust me.  Good luck.  And seriously, let me know if you need 
some help.  I have an Appaloosa and have a friend who I ride with sometimes 
who has an Appaloosa.  Let me know if you wanna ride sometime.

[Bill Schairer]

Pretty sure I saw an orange rivendell cruising down 2nd ave in fernie just a 
bit ago. Atlantis performing very well so far. Took one spill going thru mud 
but fell into very soft moss. Nobody saw it so it didn't happen?

[RBW] Re: FS: Albastache Bar, Brooks C19, B&M IQ-XS Dynamo Light, Shimano Exage Crankset

[David B]

Bumping this. Saddle and cranks available. 

Paypal for payment please. Regular goods/services is fine.
I can combine shipping with other items in my webstore (which I won't list 
here), treetop.bigcartel.com.
Thanks,
David

2. Brooks All-Weather C19 Saddle - bought this from Riv during the Hail Mary 
thing, mounted it once, went for an 'end of the alley & back' ride, I like it, 
just don't have a bike for it right now as I swapped up stuff with the bike it 
was on - $90 shipped 

4. Shimano Exage Crankset - painted silver finish similar to Shimano's 'silver' 
painted hubs and brakes, cranks were used on a short ride, were previously 
new-old-stock - I set them up with 39t and 25t new Willow chainrings and left 
the outer ring spot empty - $40 shipped, photos here:

[RBW] I tarted up my Clem

[LeRoy]

Joe has it right in his description. There is the slightest bit of interference 
between the Nitto rack mount that goes through the fork crown and the 
transverse V-brake cable. This does not affect braking performance nor is it 
something that will interfere with items on the rack. After well over 300 miles 
of use on my bike, the only sign of this interference is a slight burnishing of 
the rack from the cable contact. It isn’t like the cable will saw through the 
rack, but it’s just a wee bit sub-optimal.

Vecchio’s is great. For riv-friendly service, I also really like Boulder 
BikeSmith, located in the plaza near KingSoopers.

Every nearby cycling route from easy to mind-boggling is detailed in a small 
black and white paperback that you can get at Boulder Bookstore in the Colorado 
section. It is called The Guide to Cycling the Roads out of Boulder (on Skinny 
and Fat Tires) While trying to avoid automobile traffic, getting or remaining 
physically fit, & preserving the environment, etc. by Burt Struthers and Terry 
Struthers. It is an amazingly good and detailed resource. 

It is definitely worthwhile to make an appointment to visit Boulder Bicycle. 
They don’t provide service but they have all sorts of stuff and great 
conversation. 

Best,

[RBW] Re: Wald 137 bag recommendations?

[ian m]

I don't understand why these tote style bags always have tiny little 
handles. I would love one with slightly longer handles so you can either 
carry it or put it over a shoulder comfortably. This is the case with like 
90% of cloth tote bags!

I like the roll top feature, easy way to keep water out. Plain bag, tall 
enough to roll down, slightly longer straps. That's all I need!

[RBW] Re: Wald 137 bag recommendations?

[Jon BALER]

 

I have a reload bag, and I’ve been very happy with.  I don’t think it has a 
shoulder strap, just tote handles.  You could probably rig up something to 
the buckles.  I like how the roll top bag allows to me to expand capacity 
as needed.  

 

I don’t understand why the bag makers bother putting features on the bag to 
attach it to the basket.   I just have bungees over the top of my basket, 
which keeps the bag in place and the roll top closed.  I simply stretch the 
bungees around the basket perimeter when I need to get to the bag.  I also 
put mating Velcro over the Velcro on the bag opening, because I found it 
unnecessary and complicated interior bag access.  The bungees and roll-top 
keep it closed just fine.

 

The ball bungees typically stay in the same place, but I can quickly adjust 
them multiple ways for small or large loads if needed.   The swift bag has 
limited capacity, and a zipper that can require two hands to open.  And 
putting a zipper on top of the bag where water intrusion is most likely 
seems like a bad idea.

[RBW] Re: Joe Appaloosa, MIT Atlantis versus Jones SWB

[ian m]

My Jones is a dedicated off-roader. I'm running 3" knobbies tubeless with 
10psi in front, 12psi in back, and the bounce when pedaling on pavement is 
pretty extreme.

[RBW] Re: Joe Appaloosa, MIT Atlantis versus Jones SWB

[Chris Birkenmaier]

I have a Joe A and the older version of the Jones diamond Ti frame with the 
truss fork - so not the LWB..  Although I love both of these bikes, the 
Jones is a superlative ride.  I have the "smaller" slick tires (2.5?) 
Schwable Marathon Supreme and Alfine 8 drivetrain on the Jones.  Talking to 
Jeff Jones is also a treat.  He takes the time to answer all your 
questions.  Not that Riv doesn't.   It's one of my keepers.

[WETH]

Guy Clark is a legend.  For those wanting a good intro to his music and 
songwriting, I recommend this album of Guy Clark songs covered by other 
artists:

Yes, that song reminds me of my Rivs too!

[RBW] Re: Cheviot and Ottolock

[Jim S.]

Thanks for the kind words all.

SeanMac, re the Ottolock, huge thumbs up. It's light, it's easy, and I like 
a combination lock so I don't have to carry around a key. I'm sure the lock 
is breakable, but it deters the unplanned theft. That's all I'm after 
anyway. I don't think people want to steal bikes here in St. Louis like 
they do in the Bay Area or New York. I'm sure it's not that people are any 
more honest here - they just are not as interested in bikes.

Deacon Patrick and RichS, re the albastache bar, it is a nice change for 
me. I started with albatross bars, but they felt too "slow." I don't know 
that I go any faster with albastache bars, but I feel better leaning 
forward. Perhaps it's a natural tendency to slouch?

Dave, re the bell, it's nothing I designed. I bought it from Tomii Cycles 
in Austin, TX.

Joe Bernard, the zipties are for the taillight wire. Perhaps there's a 
better way to route it? At any rate, the tail light works.

Rusty Click, that's a Pass and Stow front rack. I think you're supposed to 
able to mount the light to the rack, and even run the wire from the hub to 
the mount, inside the rack. But I'm not that handy. So the wire is ziptied 
to the rack, and that's a Soma Wingman (sp?) light mount, that puts the 
light out front.

[RBW] Re: Joe Appaloosa, MIT Atlantis versus Jones SWB

[ian m]

I have a Clem and Jones Plus. When I lived in California and rode trails 
that were beautifully groomed a bike like Clem was just fine. Then I moved 
to PA and all my local trails are gnarly, root filled, technical 
singletrack that are designed with modern mountain bikes in mind. Sure, I 
could ride the Clem on them but with how slow I'd be going I might as well 
just hike. So I started looking for a 21st century MTB and found Jones 
bikes. The design philosophies of the two companies are so similar I felt 
like I couldn't go wrong with a Jones. And I'm glad I got one because it's 
a blast. It rolls over anything, feels stable on everything but still very 
maneuverable, and good disc brakes offer one finger braking and total 
relief from the exhausted and cramped hands and wrists I used to get from 
underbiking on tough singletrack.

[RBW] Re: removing broken hex bolt from rack mount

[ian m]

Use a left hand drill bit to extract. As the bit grabs the metal it spins 
it counter-clockwise. Much safer than EZ outs which I don't trust. I've 
done this with old bolts that break on my 72 Honda motorcycle.

Deacon, the Albastache bars changed the bike for me. I started with 
albatross bars. and I just felt too upright. I can't explain why. Maybe 
naturally bad posture? Leaning forward a bit feels better for sure.

Re: [RBW] Re: removing broken hex bolt from rack mount

[Howard Ramsay]

Jason, here is a tip I learned working on similar screws over the last 50 
years. Tape off the surrounding painted area. Apply a couple of drops of 
penetrating lubricant to both sides of the damaged screw. Using a ⅛" drill 
bit Carefully start a hole in the CENTER of the damaged screw. Slowly drill 
into the damaged screw head approx. ¼ inch.  Now Reverse the drill 
direction to remove the bit. (As you do so the screw may self extract.) 
Carefully repeat using the next size bit. Should you find you need to use a 
Screw Extractor may I recommend Alden Grabit, available at Lowe's, Home 
Depot, and Amazon. Remove the card on the inside of the case and Look 
carefully at the pictures Twice before using the extractor. Note which end 
of the tool is used first. The tool is only operated in the Reverse 
direction.  With a hole predrilled into the center of the damaged screw, it 
should come out quite easily without damage to your paint. Here is a link: 
https://www.lowes.com/pd/GRABIT-2-Pc-Kit/3030140 Hope this helps.

 It's a kind of delicate job with many opportunities to screw it up.  I 
 would seriously consider how important it is for you to fix this issue

 on that frame forever.  If it's pretty important, I'd recommend you find 
 somebody who has done this repair before, can put their hands on it, look 
 it over, and quote you a price.  It's money and effort well-spent if it's 
 important that you succeed.  

 If you are determined to try it, here are several thoughts:

 1.  The bolt is not aluminum.  It's stainless steel.  If the bolt was 
 aluminum it would be a far easier job.  
 2.  Did you break the bolt?  If so, describe the situation.  Did it 
 thread in easy and smooth, and when it started getting tight, you leaned 
 on 
 it and it broke?  Did you install it 5 years ago and then it broke while 
 you were riding?  Did somebody else install it five years ago, so you have 
 no idea how easily it went in?  Were you forcing it in, because the 
 threads 
 are full of paint?  All this contextual information will give you a hint 
 at 
 how hard it will be to remove the bolt.  
 3.  You will start by dimpling the bolt as close to center as you can.  
 Some people use a drift punch to make a dimple.  Some may use a center 
 drill.  Building a good support fixture and using a drill press would have 
 a much higher chance of success, which is one of the reasons why I'd 
 consider paying somebody
 4.  The larger the hole you can center drill into the center of the 
 bolt shaft, the better, for the most part.  A bigger hole gets you more 
 contact area for your easy out.  Sometimes with a big hole you can clear 
 out the rest of the material with a tap.  But since you are already 
 borrowing a drill, you presumably don't have either an easy out or a tap.  

 I'd really strongly recommend at least having a good mechanic look at 
 it. If a good mechanic charged you <$50 to do the job, I'd recommend you 
 pay him.  Otherwise you might be spending $30 on tools that you may nev

[RBW] Re: Joe Appaloosa, MIT Atlantis versus Jones SWB

['Chris Lampe 2' via RBW Owners Bunch]

I think RBW's introduction of the Wavie bar brings the Jones/Petersen 
convergence even closer.  I just got a Jones H Bar and really like it and 
the Wavie looks to have a similar grip angle.  I was amazed at the 
difference the Jones bar made in slow speed maneuvering and I think the 
very similar Wavie will be a big hit with Riv owners.

I like the observation of approach. Jones comes from design from suspension

[RBW] Joe Appaloosa, MIT Atlantis versus Jones SWB

[Tony DeFilippo]

Jonathan,

Not sure about the 'DWB or LEB' but I own a Clementine and a Jones Plus 
(original, now called LWB).  I also have a Saluki which is my daily rider.

In my opinion the SWB vs a MIT Atlantis/Appaloosa is a closer comparison than 
it may look.  There is allot of riding philosophy that lines up really neatly 
between both companies.  The starting points are just very far apart.  Riv 
starts with the original BOBish/somewhat retrogrouch aesthetic with a 
commitment to an all rounder that can be built to suit, Jones comes from a 
competition minded, or at least very high level mountain biking with a bike 
designed from the tires up as a fully integrated package that happens to accel 
at many forms of bike activity.

But to really boil it down I'd say if you have a use or like the idea of 3" 
tires and disc brakes go for the Jones, if you aren't sold on those two 
elements or can't live without the sweet Riv aesthetics go with the Riv.  Both 
bikes certainly will do way more than what most of us are capable of anyway.

Or go my route, keep the Sam (Saluki in my case) set up more pavement oriented 
and get the Jones as your off pavement primary... Then ride both on everything 
and have fun.

I will say that a Jones with 2.35" slicks would probably be my desert 
island/one bike if I ever had to choose.  Especially with the unicrown fork so 
I could run a front basket... Oh and at $1800 complete the SWB Jones is 
practically in Clem territory price wise.
