[RBW] Re: What's your Nitto Wavie Bar set up?
Thanks, John I have similar PBH, with a 75 cm saddle height on my 58 cm Atlantis. I have Origin8 Space Bars (similar bend) on a 10 cm stem. I've been thinking about the Wavies since they are wider than my current bars. I have 660 mm Jones Bars on my MTB and really like the width. The Wavy is attractive for the width & similarity in bends to the Jones, and of course has the advantage of working with my current stem. Thinking more seriously now.

Re: [RBW] Re: New Wavie Bar Photos
Hey Rob, thanks very much. Do you have an Atlantis? If I had to keep one bike, it would be this old 64 Atlantis. It's technically too big (the standover could cause some man damage if I'm not careful in a fall), but I love the feel of a big bike on the road, and the look. It's a classic, and so versatile. The Wavie, or Ahearne+Map, are wonderful bars for this bike, allowing comfortable control on the road or even singletrack. And it's hard to beat the 2.1 Nanos; such a great all-conditions tire, unless you're in really mucky stuff. Surprisingly fast and quiet on the road, too.

[RBW] Re: What's your Nitto Wavie Bar set up?
John, I have a 12cm reach Tallux for the Wavie on my 64 Atlantis. With that stem, the bar ends don't quite come back as far as the back (saddle) side of the vertical part of the stem. When I was deciding on the stem reach for the Wavie, I knew I wanted a slightly more aggressive position. I have Brooks B17 Imperial saddles on all of my bikes...and I know the distance between the saddle nose and a straight line connecting the two bar ends for a more aggressive, and a moderately aggressive position. So, given the sweep back of the bar in question, and level of aggressiveness I'm after, I just deduce the required stem reach to get that saddle nose to bar end distance I'm after. Works for me.

I also have wider than normal shoulders for being 5'9", so my needs are a bit idiosyncratic.

[RBW] Re: What's your Nitto Wavie Bar set up?
Hi Doug, Currently I have an 11cm Tallux and Albatross bars on my Hunq, but I find my hands spend more time up closer to the bend rather than back near the bar ends, so I thought the 13cm Tallux might be worth a try with the Wavie bars. I lowered my saddle so that I could pedal with my arches over the spindles of my pedals. IIRC, this puts my saddle at about 71cm from the bottom bracket, rather than 74cm for my 85cm PBH, and so I'm also a bit closer to the handlebars than I used to be. If I'm too stretched, I can try the 11cm Tallux with the Wavie bars.

Oh, and I placed my brake levers 145mm in, giving a continuious range of grip options with brake access, from outer (great for technical), middle (my default), snug to the lever mounts (through town), and 1-2 fingers over the lever mount for long steady climbs, headwinds and fast descents on roads. I wrapped the longer grip area with 1 layer of cotton tape then leather.

[RBW] Re: What's your Nitto Wavie Bar set up?
A 130mm stem sounds long for a wavy bar unless you are on a frame rather small for you or you really like being stretched out. But, if you're looking for that dialed in between the tires semi-to-mostly upright position of bliss that Riv's offer, you may prefer an 8-9 cm stem. That's roughly what my (non-threaded) stem measures on GBW with wavy bars, and it's fantastic, with me spot in the middle of the PBH range.

[RBW] Will there be other riv-ish bikes on the 5 Borough Bike Tour (NYC)?
Hi Folks! Just out of curiosity, anyone planning on doing this ride in NYC this coming Sunday? I imagine it to be like a brief flash of utopia where, for the day, bikes are allowed to roam free in prime car territory...too bad it can’t be the usual rather the exception! Since my daughter is taking her Tolkien Atlantis, I could not in good conscience leave Orange Julius, I mean Orange Cheviot behind, right? There will be other rides for my All City this summer as I try not to make the other rides in the stable too jealous. Regardless, I’ll be on the lookout for other cool bikes especially the Rivs—so perhaps I’ll see some of you there!

Re: [RBW] Plus Tires for GBW
I didn’t see the follow up post where you said 27.7 which is obviously 27.5. I struggle with the same question. I have a 650b/27.5 Bombadil running Compass extralight Switchback Hill 48s which I absolutely love. These tires are magic. I will not comment on flats due to a superstitious nature. These are the biggest 650b tires Compass/Rene Herse offers. However they now offer a knobby version of this tire. Even more interestingly they recently introduced a 55x700 tire, the antelope hill. I can’t imagine a larger 650b tire is far behind. It might be worth an email or call. All that said, what is in my quiver for this summer and fall mixed surface adventures on my Bombadil are Bruce Gordon Rock n Road 43 ( with fenders) and perhaps more interesting to you Panaracer Pacentti Quasimoto 27.5 x 2 (no fenders) I have these on the shelf ready to mount but have not ridden them.

[RBW] Re: Dealing with Rust
First I clean the spot with a pre-paint cleaner (alcohol will do, but I use R-M Pre-Kleano Surface Prep - I bought a gallon 20+ years ago). Then I sand the spot with a fiberglass rust eraser pen, then clean again, repeat if necessary, then prime with something like Rustoleum primer. I use a spraycan of the primer on a piece of scrap cardboard or plastic in one spot, then dab a brush in the wet primer, and then use the paint on the brush to prime the spot. When the primer is dry, then I paint with color. I am *not* a fan of abuseage. I have been known to carry bicycle forks into hobby stores to find the closest touch-up paint (single - no nail polish in the house to steal).

I'll add that if it really bugs you, you can get a rust converter. That will chemically treat the rust and provide a good foundation for that nail polish.

[RBW] Re: Plus Tires for GBW
Having ridden the Maxxis Ikon+ on my 27.7+ GBW a fair bit, it does great on dry hardpack and is noticeably lacking in snow, mud, and wet rocks and roots. I'm hoping to try Teravail's Kennabec light and supple next. Anyone have experience with them?

Re: [RBW] Re: Singletracking/Offroading with Dynamo Lights and Hubs
If I’m in a situation where I think I might need a More light for a period of time during a bike packing adventure I might be tempted to carry one of my many battery lights to use as a supplement. I do find the beam pattern of the IQ-X to be compelling though. The very worst night ride I ever experienced was in a 24 hour mountain bike race near Olympia WA (The 24 Hours of Capitol Punishment) when about 1 am a thick fog rolled in off of the Puget Sound. In that stuff a head light was just blinding and totally counterproductive. The best option was to run the light on the bike (mounted on handlebars) at low. But I also realized that light scatter bothered me and reduced my dark adaptation even when it wasn’t foggy. When I rode the IQ-X in the dark for the first I was amazed at the difference the light pattern made. My dark adaptation was better preserved and I am much more comfortable with my peripheral vision John On Wed, May 1, 2019 at 12:01 PM Chris Corral wrote: > I've always preferred Shutter Precision for my hubs.

[RBW] Re: Chevoit or Clem jr L
Oh, oh! I rode both at Riv HQ and picked the Cheviot because I loved the lugs and the shade of orange (which is my favorite color) a pinch more. That choice cost me thousands of dollars over the next few years as I took to swapping out this and that. The Clem standard components would have fit me better initially and I ended up making my Chev more like Clem. The Cheviot's step-thru clearance isn't as significant as I would have liked. And I spent forever trying to get a front fender to work with 55 tires, it's a snap with a Clem. Ultimately, my answer would be that for all day riding and touring, the Cheviot is a better option. For most everything else, Clem is a better option, and you can buy your wife lots of other nifty things with the extra $$;-). (And years before this, I almost bought a Betty Foy. If I had bought that instead of a Dutch bike, I probably wouldn't be writing this at all.)

Re: [RBW] Re: Hiluki vintage ??
following up: UPS man came early so I ducked out of work for half an hour to put the bike inside, as it was propped up against my garage with nobody home for delivery. My bike seems to be an enigma in all ways. So, here's what we have: 58cm 650b Hilsen early SA serial number (so confirmed Toyo build) Saluki fork crown, like this: http://www.cyclofiend.com/Images/rbw/rr38_pg45.jpg AHH decals and headbadge and to top things off, it's the lighter, Waterford Hilsen blue, not the darker Toyo. Previous owner is a list member, and he's promised to tell me the history of the bike when he gets a break for work. I suppose it's possible someone just repainted and rebadged an old Saluki. I also wonder if Riv had an unpainted Saluki frame lying around, and decided to make it a Hilsen? Either way, I'm excited by my findings, because A) I like unique things with interesting histories, and B) I prefer the decals and headbadge of the Saluki, so I thought about reaching out to the folks at RBW to see if they still had any Saluki headbadges, and whether they'd sell me one for this bike. That way, when the day comes to repaint, I can reincarnate it back to it's 'original' form. I can't see why they wouldn't sell me one, if they have them, but, who knows!

Also which grips (or tape), shifters, brakes or anything else you chose to perfect your Wavie bar set ups?

[RBW] Re: Singletracking/Offroading with Dynamo Lights and Hubs
I've always preferred Shutter Precision for my hubs. I rode Colorado Trail and Baja Divide with B&M IQ-X and honestly it was a great light. Perfect on road, good enough on the trail. I have since upgraded to a Sinewave, which is crazy bright. In theory, it can be run off of an external battery, like a flashlight, eliminating the low-light-while-climbing issue. I haven't used this feature yet because it doesn't bother me much but it can be annoying to stop and not have any light. I am also put off by the flickering during technical descents that is caused (I think) by the front wheel stopping momentarily. This is during jumps or really loose gravel where the front wheel may lock up a teeny bit. Otherwise, plenty of light. It is great. All said, I would love to compare the KLight and Sinewave. Having ridden both, they are both excellent lights. The Sinewave has more features (built in charging, etc). I don't know how much of a difference a hub would make. I have also used Shimano dynamo hubs and they're heavier, clunkier, louder. I don't honestly *feel* a difference in loss of power when riding though. just my 2 cents On Monday, April 29, 2019 at 3:33:45 PM UTC-7, Collin A wrote: > > Given some discussion in another thread about dynamo lighting use on > unpaved surfaces, I figured it would be worth bringing this up as a > separate thread. > > Personally, I have a kasai Dynacoil hub (evolution of a SP hub, I believe) > laced to an Alex Dm24 rim and wired with a K-lite bikepacker light (gravel > version) https://www.kliteusa.net/product-page/klite.

[RBW] Re: Velocity NoBS vs. Atlas?
Yes, exactly, if not for centerlock disc I probably wouldn't bother even thinking of it. I've had to deal with drilling out stuck and stripped torx bolts on an old 26" 6 bolt front disc hub. Ironically, this wheel was from an old 'comfort MTB' (marketed as a hybrid back when my wife first bought it) with both IS disc tab and v-brake posts on the fork and seemed like the same wheel was spec'd on each level of the same model and could be used as disc or rim brake. I've since used the same wheel as a spare for rim brakes without issue but with the marred 6 bolt rotor mounts still there as a reminder and eyesore. After viewing numerous center lock hubs recently I'd have no issue with seeing the unused center lock mount on a rim brake bike even if sticking to rim brakes indefinitely. That still leaves a concern regarding the QR adapters with 12x100 TA hubs and whether there are any compatibility issues among them. The available hubs I've been drawn to most are the SON and Shimano offerings. I also just found a new Shimano release I still need to research a bit more: https://bike.shimano.com/en-EU/product/component/deorext-t8000/DH-UR705-3D.html On Tuesday, April 30, 2019 at 8:22:25 PM UTC-4, ascpgh wrote: > I began my generator hub experience by considering moving my wheel to > other bikes, rationalizing my SON expense across several bikes. > > I used the centerlock disc format to serve my disc braked commuter but > allow me to spin off the ring, pull the disc and run it on my other bike.

Re: [RBW] Re: Hiluki vintage ??
One thing that doesn't seem to get discussed with rebadged Salukis/early Toyo Hilsens is the fork crown. Does that have any meaning, or did they vary based on stock they needed to get rid of? All of the Toyo Hilsen's I see pics of seem to have the swirly fork crown. But, the Salukis had the style like this: http://www.cyclofiend.com/Images/rbw/rr38_pg45.jpg I'm actually taking delivery today of an old 58cm 650b Hilsen, which has the Saluki/Waterford Hilsen fork crown, but the owner said it's actually one of the earliest 650b Toyo Hilsens.

[RBW] Re: Hiluki vintage ??
Thanks Pondero, your bike looks like a twin to mine. So it seems ~2010 is a decent estimate. Fullylugged, your history is a bit off. The early AHH frames were built by Toyo. I think one way those frames can be distinguished from the later Waterford built ones is the water bottle mounts on the underside of the down tube. I believe there are other cosmetic details too. At the time RBW moved production from Toyo to Waterford in response to a surging yen, G wrote about the MUSA frames being just as good as the Toyos but that there were minor differences and that if one wanted a Toyo the time to get it was ... After the introduction of the AHH and before (or about when) production moved to Waterford the Saluki was folded into the AHH model. In the smaller sizes even sized AHH were 650b and odd sized ones were 700c. Large 650b frames were discontinued (i think 58 was the largest pre MIT 650b AHH) In the transition some bikes were built using Saluki bottom brackets (using up existing stock?) but badged and decaled as AHHs. So is a frame with a SA-### sn sold by RBW with an AHH head badge and AHH decals a Saluki or an AHH? I duno, a rose by any other name ... or some such thing. If there weren't many Salukis sold there must have been very very few of these "HiLuki" bikes. Rarity aside mine has become very precious to me. It's probably my favorite bike and if it were stolen or wrecked i don't think I could replace it. Nothing against current RBW production, but those old Toyo built bikes are sooo pretty.

[RBW] Hiluki vintage ??
If it has an SA serial number then it is a Saluki and not a Hilsen. Saluki was only made in 650B and Hilsen came in 700. After the merger, smaller size Hilsens came in 650B and larger ones in 700. Saluki was made in Japan starting in 2004 and Hilsen was made in the US from 2006, then later in Taiwan as currency exchange rates became an issue. They were always functionally equivalent. Salukis were mostly side pulls but a small number were made for cantis. There weren't a lot of Salukis made, and I think they ended production (although some hung around in the RBW attic for a long while) around 2007. Both models were for sale separately through 2007. $1,500 for FFHS combo.
