[RBW] WTB: 59 Bleriot

[Colin Cummings]

I've been fortunate enough to have owned two Bleriots in the past dozen 
years. One was destroyed by a car in a hit n run accident, the second one 
was stolen :( I would LOVE to get my hands on another one and this time 
I'll lock it up real good.

[RBW] Tulsa Bikers - Experiences

[Colin Cummings]

Hello Riv Riders,

I currently live in Amarillo, TX but we're considering a move to Tulsa, OK. 
Anybody on the list live in/near Tulsa or have riding experience there? 
Looking to get a sense of the local atmosphere for commuters, ease of 
commuting and riding in the city, and the bike culture generally. Knowing 
that Riv owners live there is a plus!

[RBW] Re: Alternative ride report for the Gorey Hollows Ride and Race

[James / Analog Cycles]

Most folks were on bikes with 2.25-2.8 tires, but 1 guy was on maybe 2.0's 
and one was on 40mm tires.  Notably, the guy on 40mm tires DNF'd.

[RBW] Re: WTB: Analog (w)right stem- 31.8mm

[Weston Hein]

Thank you James for all the detailed info and the amazing customer service. 
I'll definitely be picking one up come xmas, the new stems sound perfect! 
In the meantime if someone has a stem they're willing to part with for some 
fall riding give me a shout!

[RBW] Re: Clearnace on the MIT Homer Hilsen?

[Mark Schneider]

I think you can, but it would depend on your rims and specific tire choice. 
I have 50mm fenders on my MUSA Homer, and my 42mm Compass/Herse tires 
actually measure 37mm wide on Velocity A23 rims.This is adequate but not 
fantastic clearance between fender and tire. Rivendell uses 650b for medium 
sized frames these days since tires are available in all sizes and widths. 
The "craze" started when people converted old 700c or even 27 inch bikes to 
650b for larger tires for better rough rode comfort and handling.

Any pics from the shorter "Ramble"? That's more my speed. I need to make the 
trip over to see you guys at some point. I love riding in VT.

[RBW] Re: Interesting refutation of Gary Taubes' obesity ideas

[M Talley]

I haven't read the refutation of Taubes (I likely will) but here I write a 
little bit of introduction (re-introduction) to Grant Petersen's world and 
my experiences, kind-of in order. If  can be made-sense-of it could add to 
this discussion.
=
I'm an old racer from the 80s and 90s who until this millennia my most 
distinct memories of Grant were his Bridgestone Catalog 1991 on Frame 
Stiffness (perhaps validated by Jan Heine) and his mensch-like advice from 
Bridgestone Catalog 1992 "How To Get Sponsored Even If You Aren't Famous". 
Too late for me but it left me with a positive feel and a wishing for a 
world with more of his type of advice. I have worked in shops over 30 years 
- the 2000s were a low-point if you were exposed to "racers" and non-racers 
crassly asking for handouts. 

I ran into a neighbor riding a Betty Foy 5 or 6 years ago that lead to a 
search of Rivendell online. I was surprised to have a video talk given by 
Gary Taubes as a top result. I watched it and then read both of his books. 
I absorbed as much as I could and practiced a keto diet for awhile. My 
health improved.

Somewhere in the same time frame I caught randomly PBS boadcast - a 
re-packaged BBC show "Michael Mosley presents Horizon: Eat, Fast and Live 
Longer". Turns out that was one episode from a series but it alone was a 
huge hit. It lead to books by Mosley on the topic - both expository and 
cookbook. Covered in that show was Dr. Valter Longo's research on aging and 
the discovery of the gene related to this puzzle - Insulin-like growth 
factor 1 (IGF-1)

The key point was science's gains in an understanding of the gene that cuts 
on facilitating  repair of the body when under the duress of a fast. I have 
(so have others) wondered if the same effect is benefited by a keto-diet 
and as I have recently learned the training effect of endurance exercise 
may do the same.

(a topic this could be loaded - take it with a grain of salt if need be - 
this is about calorie restriction)
"The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil" was a documentary I 
saw around the same period around 2006. Cuba's recovery from "The Special 
Period" (mid to late 1990s). The take-away is how the health improved and 
the average life span increased by 6 years if I recall. Results of an 
enforced diet and lifestyle - less food more exercise. There was enough 
hardship in this "experiment" that increased indicators of better health 
came as a surprise.
My take away - we live in a time of politics that are so distorted by 
economic boom that what conservative vs liberal means won't be accurate or 
clearly defined until the boom is over.  Essentially easy and abundant oil 
and the related vices of production from easy calories to easy cars 
(transportation/mobility) skew reality.

Related to rice (especially cold rice) and gut flora:
"Resistant starch is a carbohydrate that resist digestion in the small 
intestine and ferments in the large intestine. As the fibers ferment they 
act as a prebiotic and feed the good bacteria in the gut."
http://hopkinsdiabetesinfo.org/what-is-resistant-starch/

We are all creatures of: adaptation, our heredity and real (developed) 
world influences.
Our genes (our gut flora's genes), Our hormonal circumstances, and our 
lifestyle (diet and exercise) all play a part in this puzzle.

Apologies for the length of this post,
Mark (in agreement with: it's a great time - this search/debate on obesity)

Chuck Davis has a bike shop in Tulsa and lives there, but not sure if he is on

Re: [RBW] Re: Issues with slipping bosco bars?

[A. Nostuh]

My aluminum 58cm boscos flex like crazy. They are super light and thin walled 
tubing. The flex is so much I wonder if they would break but probably just in 
my head. There is extra comfort from the flex a bit like doing push-ups on a 
diving board instead of concrete

[RBW] Seeking Advice: Best Tires for Non-Ideal Rims

[A. Douglas M.]

Hello J,

Many people rode 2.4 tires on rims with 19mm internal width before wider rims 
really caught on. Some people will tell you it makes it harder to lower 
pressures without sidewalks folding, but that is less relevant with tubes. 
You’ll probably get pinch flats before that happens.

I run Maxxis Ardent 2.4s on Magic 819s with no problem.

I say try it and see how you like it. Nothing catastrophic will happen. MTBR 
has lots of good info on this, too.

Best,

Aaron Millhench
