[RBW] Re: Shoes for rambling.

[Drw]

My “bike” shoes are more often than not what I wore to work that day, but on 
overnights or long trips I have new balance trailbusters. Nothing special and 
sub 60$, but they stick to vp pedals, look good around town and are almost 
substantial feeling on hikes. (I’m not really into the barefoot thing)

Also, it wouldn't really be a 2. We're on the 3rd or 4th iteration of this bike 
now, which would make it a 4 or 5!

[RBW] OT- Death Valley on foot

[Bob B]

Hey Ant! I’m envious because DV is one if my favorite places in earth and my 
wife and I have backpacked in there quite a lot. We always do the vegas rental 
car method too.

You should be conservative as to where you drive the car, always but even more 
so with the shutdown. When the road signs say 4x4 only, you should really take 
heed, or carefuy drive only a a mile or two in if that gets you where you wanna 
be. You wont get a cell signal in there and flats are common. The rangers, if 
any are working, will have the latest on road conditions. Sign in at the 
visitor center if you plan to go into the back country and tell a friend at 
home your plans... sorry if you already know this.

With the shutdown services are limited. Check social media and call the visitor 
center at furnace creek—I think that is being kept open by funding from a 
private foundation.

A good resource is Steve Hall’s website www.panamintcity.com ... check his 
pages on death valley basics and read up on safety and park regulations (no 
fires, etc)... very important to do your research for route planning too if 
youre going deep into the back country. Steve uses an interesting technique 
using a mix of google earth and gps, and has hiked hundreds of canyons, many of 
which are seldom visited. He posts detailed trip reports with photos and maps 
that are great reference if you decide to mimic a route.

He’ll also tell you to get Michael Diginnet’s book, Hiking Death Valley, which 
I can confirm is worth every penny. Its one of those epic labors of love.

DV is a beautiful place. So huge and expansive, otherworldly, truly wild. Be 
safe and I hope you have a great time!! Carry lots of water! I hope you post 
pics when you’re back.

And feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions.

"2” be became "RBW" on most models (not Clem, I think) because of something I 
harped on for years*: Rivendells didn't say "Rivendell" enough on the frame.

*they didn't change it for me, I'm just saying it was a thing I've mentioned in 
the past

Roger noticed there is no ‘2’. 

Yep the new decal has the fish and the anchor and the mesh netting, but no ‘2’. 
The Rivendell Atlantis is 10x as important and significant a machine than the 
original Bridgestone Atlantis ever was, so I think the ‘2’ deserved to be 
dropped.

[RBW] OT- Death Valley on foot

[ant ritchey]

Hi all-

Lookin' to my fellow Rivsters for tips on Death Valley. 

Headin' there for a week with my sis. Looking to do hikes and backpacking 
if resources allow. We're fairly experienced desert backwoodsies but know 
little about DV. We'll be driving in from Vegas with a rental car, but 
nothing with clearance for jeep roads. Our backs are good for schlepping 
enough water for an overnighter, but maybe not two. Dunno how the whole 
government being shut down thing will affect this but we'll just hafta find 
out.

Any info much appreciated!

Best,
Ant R / PDX

[RBW] Re: Shoes for rambling.

[Joe Bernard]

I started wearing Asics Gel-Nimbus running shoes a few years ago with no 
intention of riding with them..they look too bulky for that. Nope. I use flat 
step-on pedals and would hop on without bothering to change shoes, and after a 
while I realized they're so light, cool and comfortable that I didn't need to 
change out of them. They work well on spikey pedals on trails, too.

[RBW] Re: Shoes for rambling.

['Eric Myers' via RBW Owners Bunch]

I tend to wear barefoot shoe's off the bike, but always wanted some extra 
padding/stiffness on the bike, even with platform pedals.  I may give 
Patrick's extra inserts idea a try.

My current "biking shoe" is a pair of older Puma sneakers, with soles 
somewhere between the Sambas and *old school* volley ball shoes.  I wear 
Sambas for other sports, and would happily use them for biking as well.  I 
tend to buy shoes that are pretty roomy, and that can make a big 
difference.  I'd suggest going to a discount shoe outlet that sells fancy 
brands (in hopes of higher quality) and see what you can find.

If you are interested in other barefoot style shoes, also look at Merrell, 
they make ones with several different thicknesses of sole.

Re: [RBW] Shoes for rambling.

[MCT]

+1 on the Shimano GR-7.   No problems walking in them.  They have a nice and 
stiff sole for being on the pedals.  After a long ride of pushing hard on the 
pedals, my feet don’t hurt. I have found regular shoes my feet will hurt after 
awhile because the sole is too thin.

[RBW] Where does "plus" start really helping?

['Deacon Patrick' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Word for the Kokapelli Trail (Fruita CO to Moab UT), known for being sandy, is 
that 2.3 is the minimum ridable for the sandy bits. Volume grows exponentially 
to diameter size, so even a tenth inch of diameter can make a noticable 
difference.

I talk a fair bit about the Ra IIs here:

[RBW] Shoes for rambling.

[William R.]

I’ve always found the traditional Vans bottoms to be great in dry conditions, 
but add a little water and they have been really bad in my experience. So I 
don’t wear them anymore. Lately my faves have been Addidas Stan Smiths. 
Previously, I liked the Sambas, but the Smiths are even better. I have a couple 
pairs that I got at an Addidas outlet store. From time to time my wife drags me 
to DSW. I always see if there are any crazy deals on similar Addidas with 
uniform, flat bottom treads. I’ve bought a couple Pairs of Sperry’s that way 
and they have been great too. I figure anything designed to be grippy on the 
deck of a boat will work well and they do! For winter I recently bought a pair 
of North Face boots that are water proof and insulated, but otherwise are 
designed more like a sneaker. They have a slightly lugged sole that is overall 
flat and uniform. Nice and warm and grippy on the pedals wet or dry. They are 
called Back-to-Berkeley Redux. These were not cheap though.

[RBW] Where does "plus" start really helping?

[Patrick Moore]

Segueing from another thread where many respondents urged "plus" over
regular 29er tires: I've got my own twist to the question. I'm thinking of
700C X 60 compared to 650B X 75 or so.

For mixed pavement and non-technical but sandy terrain, what would "plus"
size tires add to 60 mm tires? My concerns are principally sand flotation
and bump cushioning, not traction on steep, technical trails.

1/3 to 1/2 of my riding on this bike (Matthews) is on pavement, and I am
very particular about pavement rolling quality, so much so that I happily
give up some sand flotation and dirt road cushioning for good pavement
rolling. And the Big Ones, tubeless, are very, very good on pavement at my
preferred compromise pressure range of 18-20 psi.

And the Big Ones at true 60 mm are noticeably better on our sand than the
50 mm Furious Freds they replaced. (I can negotiate patches up to 3" deep,
but most of my routes -- this is summer, dry -- are 1" to 2" deep.)

So, since 2.8s or 3s would undoubtedly be better in sand and on rough dirt,
I guess the question comes down to: how well or badly would "650B X 75 mm
tires roll on pavement, compared to (again, wonderful) 60 mm Big Ones on
pavement?

In particular -- since you'd run 75s quite a bit lower than 60s -- how
might the sidewall flop of 650B plus tires at 15 psi compare to that of 60s
at 20, on pavement? 60s at 20 do flop, but, to me, acceptably, given my
need for sand flotation and dirt road cushioning; a better dirt-only
pressure would be say 16-17 psi, while the lowest pressure to avoid
sidewall flop on pavement is circa 25 psi. But I choose what, for me, is
the best compromise.

I just ordered a pair and wasn't too sure about them. REI has them on sale. 
Something isn't quite right but maybe I just need to give them a chance. 
They seem fairly clunky. Sounds like I should give them a shot.

I've been loving a pair of red wing weekender chukkas, the tread hooks up like

occasions since October.  Pricy but should last and they are re-soleable.

[Surlyprof]

I use thin gripsters and really like Shimano’s GR-7 shoes.  They have great 
grippy soles, an ankle collar that keeps dirt out and an elastic band across 
the tongue so you can secure your laces.  That last feature was an unexpected 
delight since I’ve caught laces in pedals and chainrings before resulting in 
cut laces and abrupt stops.

[RBW] WTB: Black Swix earmuffs, new or “I think I tried them once” condition.

[REC (Roberta)]

WTB: Black Swix earmuffs, new or “I think I tried them once” condition.  
Shipped 
to 19154.  

*http://www.akers-ski.com/product/67R91.html* 
 

Since these are no longer manufactured, I'd like another pair in black.  I 
wear these whenever it’s below 60*  and windy to keep away ear aches, so 
it’s an important part of my dress.  I’ll buy the available red pair from 
Akers Ski as a backup.
Riv content:  These are low profile, great to wear under a helmet with the 
Riv merino wool beanie from last year (very warm for a thin hat—highly 
recommended), riding on my loved Joe Appaloosa (also highly recommended).

Thank you,
Roberta

[RBW] Seeking wisdom of 29+ bikepacking vs. 2.1”

[Tom Palmer]

Hi all,
I have done several bikepacking trips in Michigan. Nothing crazy bike a lot of 
sandy, loose soil especially near Lake Michigan. The switch from 2.25 to 2.8 
made a big difference and with more gear on the bike, even more so. I have a 
hunting bike to hunt a non motorized area with 2.8s as well and it works where 
the 2.25 did not. I also have a 4” tire bike that is usually overkill. For 
tires, I love the WTB Rangers in 2.8 and 3.0. 
The Boots does look pretty cool.

[RBW] Re: FS: Schwalbe tires - Marathon 700x40mm & Little Big Ben 700x38mm

[Pancake]

I bet $15 each or $25 for the pair is more fair, so, updated I suppose.

[RBW] FS: Schwalbe tires - Marathon 700x40mm & Little Big Ben 700x38mm

[Pancake]

These came on my Sam Hillborne, they’re well used but held up well on a few 
paved and gravel rides for me last week.

Little Big Ben 700x38mm - seems like it’s in great shape, good tread, 
reflective strip is good, no issues I can see. $20 for someone to pickup in the 
SF Bay Area?

Marathon 700x40mm - “Original” with greenline. Lots of thread left but some 
threads came loose near the bead. I’d guess it’s fine, but I honestly don’t 
know. Reflective strip is not that clean but still reflects well. $15 for 
someone to pickup in the SF Bay Area?

Good setup if you want to try slightly different size tires front and back, the 
came 38mm front, 40mm rear which felt good. 

Not sure if these prices make any sense - just make a fair offer and let me 
know when you can pick up in Napa (I’m in Berkeley, Sonoma, and Santa Rosa 
someone’s too).
