Re: [RBW] Re: Seeking recommendations for transporting multiple bikes in minivan

[Joe Bunik]

Lynne,

Having a similar need, I fabricated a solution that would work for our
Mazda 5 micro-van. Using Thule truck bed fork mounts and a sheet of
plywood, I made a removable carrier that I could secure 2 full-size
bikes with room for a 3rd if you pull the back wheel (or if it's a
kiddo bike). Given my 90cm PBH, I needed to pull the saddle but it all
fit together just perfectly.

Then, you only need to your strap the 3rd passenger onto the roof rack.

[RBW] Re: Did you have a 2018 cycling goal? Did you achieve it?

[Bill Schairer]

And I change tires, change chain rings, change derailleurs, change cranks, 
rotate bikes so on and so forth - then I need to test ride and change again and 
test again...

I’m within striking distance of my goal for 2018.

Excellent photos and writeup; thanks.

I notice that you have your rear panniers attached at the rear of the rack,
despite the long chainstays -- bottle cage behind the seat tube! Big feet?
Another reason?

[RBW] Re: Seeking recommendations for transporting multiple bikes in minivan

[Lynne]

There are so many great ideas in this group - thank you all! I've decided 
to get some fork mounts to put on a 2x4, put one bike upside down in the 
middle, and do some bike Tetris. And use blankets between. And maybe take 
the pedals off. I'll do a dry run before the trip. 

I'm especially impressed by Steve P's Master Tetris skills. Sadly, I'm not 
at that level, nor do I have the bike tools to make that happen.

Thanks again, everybody! I sure appreciate the generosity of ideas that 
flows from this crowd.

Re: [RBW] FS: Brand New Wool Knickers

[Patrick Moore]

I've done that a number of times; rather crudely, simply having the legs
cut and hemmed at the right length, and velcro sewed on to cinch. They
don't hang as nicely as if the ends were tapered, but they look pretty
good, this notwithstanding.

I cut mine long, so that I can cinch tightly just under knee and have ample
material to "blouse" over the cinch -- this ensures no binding when I
pedal, and also that I look like Tintin.

I have 2 such pairs left, both made from good wool dress trousers, and am
thinking of having the nearby tailor (just discovered) make the ends more
elegant.

I posted a photo of my most recent pair not too long ago, but can't access
it now since on a secondary computer.

Re: [RBW] Stuff stolen from bike

It probably won’t happen again. I leave stuff in my saddle bag all the time 
here in Philadelphia and only once did someone rummage through it in 10 plus 
years. Still a bummer though.

Re: [RBW] Stuff stolen from bike

[Patrick Moore]

Sorry to hear of the theft. Odd, though very fortunate, that they left so
much good stuff behind.

I've rarely had to park a bike in a dangerous location, but I do park
outside some of our local grocery stores, with my kit in saddle wedges or
frame bag and, so far, so good. I even have a HpX frame pump on 1 bike, in
full view. However, I very often just wheel my bike through the store in
lieu of a shopping cart.

Besides the daily kit bags -- repair bits and small daily items -- I use
easy on/off luggage: Ortliebs or Carradices with the SQR system, so that if
I carry expensive stuff, I can easily take it with me.

Bulk package of 52 tp rolls on a rear rack? I'd like to see a photo!

Re: [RBW] Seeking recommendations for transporting multiple bikes in minivan

[Patrick Moore]

My brother can easily get 2 bikes, med and large, under the low shell on
his compact (old Toyota) pickup by removing front wheels and saddles +
posts, and this is 2 with the usual cluttered mess he keeps in back; I'd
guess 4 or 5 easily without the mess to the sides.

I got 3 in a 84 VW Passat wagon, but I think I removed both wheels on each.

My erstwhile Citroen Acadiane could carry 4 upright, nothing removed (I'm
extrapolating; I got 2 in using what seemed to be no more than half the
space; in fact, I got a 58 c-c Ken Rogers tricyle in, no disassembly, with
room to spare for 1 more bike.

So: if you can get fore/aft room for the frame, or frame + rear wheel, you
should be able to stack 3 side by side in a compact manner.

Re: [RBW] Re: Did you have a 2018 cycling goal? Did you achieve it?

[Patrick Moore]

Kudos to Steve. I know of only 1 other person who regularly set 10K as his
goal; Gary Blakeley, formerly of the boblist, who owned and drove a
semitruck around the state for Creamland Dairies (IIRC). He'd ride down to
So Broadway at 3 am, get his truck, pick up his load, make his deliveries,
return to ABQ late morning, and often ride a century. But he was far
younger then than Steve.

Me, I had a bad year, not meeting even my own very modest goal (3 K) for
various reasons, but I have to say that I have enjoyed my miles very much .

[RBW] Re: Seeking recommendations for transporting multiple bikes in minivan

[dougP]

We had an Odyssey & as I recall it was quite tall inside.  But IIRC you're 
going to have to leave one seat at home.  Test out your loading ideas well 
ahead of departure.  In addition to some of the above, see if you can put 
the bikes in upside down on their handlebars & seats.  This puts the bars 
down on the floor where the car is wider than up at window level, where it 
starts to curve in.  That may avoid removing wheels but needs to be looked 
at.  Lots of bungee cords.  Plus one on the Harbor Freight furniture pads.  
Have used them for ages.  

The front fork mount on a board works well (done that too) but check fender 
clearance.  Oh, and just assume something will get scratched.

Re: [RBW] FS: Brand New Wool Knickers

['Deacon Patrick' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Jon, this may be worthy of a different thread, but to answer you here, my wife 
converted cotton Duluth “firehose” pants to knickers/breeks for me a few years 
ago, simply by making a cuff for with the right hem length and threading 1” 
wide elastic through it. Adjust elastic as desired, so you can get it on/off 
but it stays put, and all set!

With abandon,
Patrick

[RBW] Re: Did you have a 2018 cycling goal? Did you achieve it?

[Bill Lindsay]

There are some great goals (and goal-less goals) in this thread.  Good on 
all of y'all.

Jon, one of my methods I've used to make mini-goals inside my macro-goals 
has been to 'wear level' my bikes.  I put two or three bikes into the 
active rotation and as soon as I hit 1000 miles on THAT bike on Strava, I 
rotate it out.  Once I've run out of bikes, I'll roll back through and take 
them all up to 1500 or maybe 2000.  The next bike that I will move INTO the 
active rotation will be my Eroica bike: a 1983 Univega Gran Rally.  Perhaps 
there will be an Eroica California run for me as well this Spring.  Can I 
still sign up?  Or am I too late?

I'll bet if you Rinko the bikes you wouldn't need a rooftop luggage rack 
at all.   Even an "Easy Rinko" without removing the fork would save a

Has anyone in RivWorld made knickers from a pair of wool trousers or a

I just found some likely candidate pants for my knickers-conversion project

a pattern for the below-the-knee closure if anyone has one already. (I am

Locked luggage rack on top, make room for Rinko-ized bikes inside?
Rear bike rack, dust off after, bring inside along the way or lock up as needed?
Uber minimalist packing, ram and cram.

That’s all I’ve got. We haul our family of 6, with gear and two kids bikes 
inside, all other bikes on racks outside in a Grand Caravan. Outside bikes 
don’t get any dirtier than when I ride them, bikes are never left unattended. 
Works great for us.

[RBW] Re: Did you have a 2018 cycling goal? Did you achieve it?

[Jon Spangler]

Bill,

Last year (mid-2017), I decided to up my Eroica California (EC) 2018 stakes 
and signed up for the the 89-mile Coastal Route (89 miles, 7000' of 
climbing) this April 15, after riding the EC 40-miler in 2016 and 2017. 
This April, I was only able to complete 62 miles and about 5000' of the 
Coastal Route before being swept off the road at 5:00 pm. I had ridden 731 
miles training for it--in retrospect, clearly not enough training miles, 
not enough climbing work, and not enough dirt/gravel road work, either. (I 
started my serious training in August, 2017, for EC 2018.)

My EC 2018 success-and-failure (successes = not injuring myself and having 
a great time riding significantly farther and harder than I had at EC 2017; 
failure = not completing the Coastal Route) spurred my 2018 goal--to try 
the EC Coastal Route again in 2019 but significantly increase my pre-event 
training. So far in 2018--since April 15, 2018--I have ridden 1137 miles on 
my Eroica bike, a 1970s Windsor Profesional with wide (28mm F, 32mm R) 700C 
clinchers. With four months to go, it is possible that I will double my 
pre-Eroica 2019 training miles over EC 2018. I am looking. forward to 
riding 1-2 centuries before EC 2019 on April 6, 2019.

I am losing weight and losing belly inches--both a little bit at a time-- 
as I firm up and work myself into better shape, and am having more fun, 
especially since the ir cleared up last week and I can get back on my bike 
after a three-week layoff!

[RBW] Re: Did you have a 2018 cycling goal? Did you achieve it?

[masmojo]

I believe I did around 2,400 miles last year, which was mostly commuting. I 
didn't really have "a goal" so, it was what it was.

Now having done that I decided to try and up my game in 2018!
My goal was 3,200 miles minimum with a hoped for target of 4,000.
Good news is I've already hit 3,500, but due to a bacterial infection that 
nearly killed me in August, my wife starting a new job, my kids activities & 
record Fall rains 4,000 looks questionable.
No matter; @ 56Years old I've dropped 10+ lbs. Over 2018! At this rate I should 
be my high school graduation weight in 5 years! LOL
FOR 2019 4,000 is my minimum mileage goal.

[RBW] Quickbeam inquiry

[sean]

Hello fellow Rivendellians,

Quick question on the last run of Quickbeams (silver color with caliper 
brakes and mid-fork rack braze-ons) - I am perusing old geo charts on the 
interwebs and I can't tell if Riv actually made a 51cm in this silver run. 
51cm is my magic number and I currently have a San Marcos in 51cm that is a 
great fit. I think Riv began spec'ing the smaller Quickbeams with 650B 
wheels back around 2009? Does anyone recall this and if they still produced 
the smaller size 51cm prior to shifting to the Simple One?

I can look through all my old Riv Readers and catalogues, but I figured 
this may be a faster approach,

Thanks,
Sean

Adam, 

Looking through the WTB website, it looks like the 700c version is more 
cross/gravel oriented, while the 27.5/650b version is more MTB'y. This may 
be the source of different feel/rolling experiences. I'm guessing the 700c 
is built with a thinner sidewall with less tread that results in a nicer 
feel on the pavement.

The light/fast TCS version, which I am assuming is the high TPI folding

[RBW] Re: Tire recommendations- 650b/50mm+

[Collin A]

I'm going to disagree with Adam regarding the riddlers. I used some 
27.5x2.25 riddlers for about 120 miles before I decided I did not like 
them. They are quite heavy and are quite slow (at least by feel) on the 
pavement. If you end up getting something knobby for your loose conditions, 
tires with a constant knob height have felt better on the pavement for me, 
but will obviously be slower than a smooth tread tire.

Personally I have been looking at the Schwalbe G-one allrounds at the 
27.5x2.25 size as a good middle ground between my compass switchback hills 
and conti X-kings. Will speaks highly of them, but I haven't had the chance 
to try them yet.

[RBW] Re: Seeking recommendations for transporting multiple bikes in minivan

[Philip Williamson]

Maybe take off both wheels from every bike, and slide them in heel-toe, 
cranks and rings resting on newspaper, etc.Put the bike with the widest 
bars in the middle, pointing "in." 
We did that with three bikes and three people in a Subaru once. We used 
moving blankets and wheels between each bike.

[RBW] Re: Tire recommendations- 650b/50mm+

[Hoffsta]

I just upgraded from 47mm WTB Byways to 48mm Compass Switchback Hill EL, 
tubeless. The speed and comfort difference is insane! Running with Orange 
Seal, I'm not even the slightest bit concerned with flatting on these thin 
skins. They will not satisfy your desire for traction but if you want 
speed, there is no substitute. I'm hoping Jan will one day offer a knobbed 
tire like the Pumpkin Ridge in 50+mm!

i would look into the wtb riddlers. they have a shallower tread in the

[RBW] Re: Seeking recommendations for transporting multiple bikes in minivan

[Ed Carolipio]

Three full size bikes inside an Odyssey with room for a passenger may be 
... challenging. Doing so will probably require some minor disassembly to 
get done.

DarinM suggests removing the front wheel. Maybe use something like this:

https://deltacycle.com/bike-hitch-pro

to keep the bikes upright. Either create a "custom" interior rack to line 
up the bikes or just put the hitch on a piece of plywood to help keep the 
bike upright.

Another suggestion is to turn the stem so the handlebars are parallel to 
the frame, which may buy you some left-right room in the cargo area. With 
the Boscos, it might be a good idea to tilt the bars down as well, I've 
done similar things with handlebars when stuffing a bunch of bikes in a 
patio shed for storage.

I'd go remove the pedals while I'm at it. It takes a minute a side to 
remove or install, but makes playing bike tetris a lot easier.

Last suggestion: use furniture blankets between the bikes to prevent dings 
and scratches as you're racking them together. Harbor Freight sells the big 
ones for less than $9 each.

Good luck,
Ed C.

Jonathan,

Glad to hear the deal worked out well for you! Looks like a really nice 
build. Having the ability to quickly swap wheels with different tire sizes 
seems like a great option. Are you running the 10 speed indexed or friction?

fantastic. I'd gladly sign up now for this.
- Pakistani Goat Skin Padded Riding Gloves - (whoa they have them back now. 
yay!)
- El Duke's Degreaser (seems perpetually sold out)
- Grey Grid line of bags. Specifically, the Large Grey Grid Bag (if anyone 
has one they'd like to sell, please message me off list!)
- Wooly Warm Socks
- The super excellent merino wool shirts that would fit tall and have thumb 
holes. Best second layer riding shirt ever. I let a shivering person on a 
brevet borrow mine and they enjoyed it so much that they refused to return 
it :(
- Chambray shirts
- Seersucker shirts
- 70's African Funk Instructional or Fun Videos (compliments of Jay Ritchey)

[RBW] Re: Seeking recommendations for transporting multiple bikes in minivan

[DarinM]

My typical method for bike transport in an early 2000's Subaru Forester is 
to remove the front wheel, drop the passenger-side rear seat and send the 
bike in head first. A bungy cord keeps the bike and front wheel upright and 
against the outside wall. I recently did this for the first time with a 
bike with aluminum fenders and had to remove the front fender both due to 
it increasing the standing height of the bike and not wanting to rest the 
bike on the tip of the fender.

Your minivan situation may be different but if you can't get the Sam in 
with both wheels on, then would it be possible/practical to remove the 
fenders? If the other two bikes are not fendered, does one bike need to be?

I had fun riding to more different places.  Works for me.

[RBW] Re: Things I wish Rivendell still sold..

[phil k]

Thanks Bill,

The reason I was looking for a smaller version of Huge Rosco MTN Mixte were 
precisely 4 (more aesthetic) reasons:

1.) Uses Hunq fork instead of Joe fork for larger tires
2.) The Hunq fork is can fit the Nitto 32f mini front rack which i already 
have
3.) The seat stay cluster is much nicer on the HRMM
4.) I like the color better of the HRMM

Till then, I'm probably going to keep my eyes peeled for the 
yellowish-green CLEM L. Or wait to see what Riv puts out next.
