Re: [RBW] Re: Thought this was funny

2019-11-05 Thread David Bivins
It's a video comprising a voiceover and primitive animation that purports
to be about the differences between commuter cyclists and road/racing
cyclists and quickly becomes about road/racing cyclists. It is meant to be
humorous. I found it very funny.

Re: [RBW] Re: FS: Rivendell A. Homer Hilsen 65cm (MUSA), f//f/h

2019-11-05 Thread 'Abcyclehank' via RBW Owners Bunch
Matt,
You stated that it has slightly different measurements than some of the 
geometry stated on Riv’s charts.  I actually like that Grant and company made 
modifications/adjustments/improvements to many of their models over the years.  
However your measurements (although probably accurate). Oils be part of the 
problem.
I bought Reid’s 65cm as a graduation 👨‍🎓 present for my son, and can attest for 
it being to long for Reid.  It nearly matched the 67 Homer I have it top tube 
length.  Reid’s was 62 or 63 cm which is almost 2 inches longer that the 58cm 
you measure yours at.
You need a long legged but short armed drop bar rider potentially.
I will attest that both of my Homers had a golden ride quality to them.  Worth 
a gamble for someone but maybe a very small audience.  Also yours appears in 
amazing shape which is good if the “new” owner values that but it comes with 
your slightly higher asking price.  Which I also think it is worth for the 
record.  It is almost identical as the NIB prices for the MIT Atlantis and 
Homer.
For the record I would ask $1500 for my 67cmHomer F/F/HS/BB if I ever moved it 
and would not take a penny less.
But I did move my Son’s 65cm to a fellow list member because he wants a 
Hillibike instead.  So Reid’s has found a new home and has a very happy new 
owner.  He reached out to me over the same time frame of your listing.  For the 
record I offered the frame back to Reid before he found the great deal on his 
Rambouillet 🐑.  Be patient.  Timing can be everything and it only takes one 
buyer.

Sincerely,
Ryan “my $0.02” Hankinson

B&M IQ-XS

Not too expensive, plenty bright, but not bright enough to irritate oncoming 
cars, beautifully made. Paired with a Shutter Precision hub, you get a whole 
lotta bang for your buck.

[RBW] 59cm Clem barely fits in car, thus will be caried on the outside. I like the 1UP rack, but what about others...?

1up. I’ve had several Thule and Yakima racks over the years and they’re all 
well made but are both heavier and slower to load/unload than the 1up.

[RBW] FS: 2 Brooks Cambium 17s and a Nitto large front rack

2019-11-05 Thread 'Gary L' via RBW Owners Bunch
Hi all,
I have two cambium 17s that just didn't work for me. One is a nearly new 
(slate top and bottom) and the other is a little older and slightly faded 
on top (slate top and tan bottom). Asking $80 shipped for the newer one and 
$65 shipped for the tan bottom one.

I've also got a nearly new Nitto big front rack that has two attachment 
pieces that fit fine on my Hunq. Asking $145 shipped. I bought this from a 
list member a while ago and never used it.

Hello friends, it’s time once again to do a little cleaning. Hope you find

   and in decent shape, but they all show signs of wear.

   The minimum you’d be paying is $4 in shipping.
   - Payment can be done via PayPal.

   pay via cash for local pickup.

I can figure out shipping.


   - Mont-Bell puffy down jacket, size XL. Fits more like an “L”. Two
   handwarmer pockets. $60

   pocket, otherwise good. $30

   mirror. $5

Hi Jeffrey,

Standover at mid-point (TT has a slight rise back to front) is 31 inches with 
the knobbies on. 

Tire size is 26 x 2.1..I would say there's room for maybe 2.3 up front, a 
little more in the rear. Add a smidge more if you're running smooth street 
tires. 

I don't see your PM in my Inbox, I'll send one to you. Also I can be reached at:

[RBW] Re: Bicycle Lights for Commuting

2019-11-05 Thread James / Analog Cycles
We do lots of lighting set up here at the shop.  I've seen how they age, 
and where potential failure points come into play.  
Currently, we only sell 4 light brands, and really, only 1 is ideal for 
commuting in a busy area.
If you are commuting on a bike path, or in a quite rural area, you can run 
one of the following with less risk to motorists (and as a result less risk 
to yourself).

   - Rechargeable:  Cygolite.  If you can find a Expillion, they have 
   replaceable batteries, so you can pack a back up if it's cold out or if you 
   are out for a long period.  Ugly, but functional. 
   - Dynamo:  Sinewave or kLite both make solid options.  The Sinewave can 
   mount on the bars, fork crown or front rack.  The kLite, which is a bit 
   brighter at speeds over 12mph, is handlebar only.  

Best light for high traffic areas:  Schmidt Edelux II.  It beats all the 
others in terms of durability.  B+M makes good lights from an optics 
perspective, but the wiring is under built and the light housings don't 
like water.  The Schmidt takes the optics of a B+M light and puts it in a 
better housing with better wiring.  Can mount to fork crown, front rack, 
handlebar.  Front rack being the best spot.

We wire our lights to either Shutter precision hubs, Schmidt hubs or 
Velogical dynamos.   All are efficient.  The Velogical is cool because you 
don't have to build a new wheel, it runs on your rim.  The best 
bearings/strongest flanges are found in the Schmidt hub.  We've had zero 
issues with Schmidt hubs, despite hundreds sold.  3 warranty issues with SP 
hubs, so far.  Not a terrible rate of issues, but it's a factor to 
consider.  

Wiring is important, and our current go to set up, if using a Schmidt hub, 
is to use Coaxial jacks at the hub for easy connection.  

We prefer Schmidt fender, rack or seatpost tail lights because the wiring 
is more robust.  

Decent rechargeable tail lights abound out there.  We like the B+M ixxi, 
which is made in the EU.

Hope some of that helps!  

-James / Analog Cycles

Re: [RBW] Re: Bicycle Lights for Commuting

2019-11-05 Thread John McBurney
I have a number of battery powered lights as well as dynamo light, the Bush
and Mueller IQ-x Senso. Love the beam and the brightness.

The slickest battery powered light I have is the Knog PWR which comes in a
variety of sizes and light outputs. The form factor and fact that it can
double as a battery bank to recharge a phone or other device sets it apart.

https://cyclingtips.com/2017/08/knog-pwr-lights-review/

I also like Light and Motion urban line which comes in a variety of
strengths and are US Made.

This is an interesting model:

https://www.lightandmotion.com/shop/bike-lights/lights-for-urban-cycling/rando-500


For commuting the night rider 900 boost is nice because it is easy to get
on and off the bike.

https://www.niterider.com/product/6781-lumina-1200-boost/

But I never or almost never use high with my lights when commuting in urban
areas with street lights etc. 1200 or even 1000 lumens is over kill in my
opinion. But a high lumen light has a higher amp battery so more life on
lower settings.

[RBW] Re: Clem L front derailleur

2019-11-05 Thread David Carner
You did not mention the size of your Clem L and as Joe mentioned the tube 
size may vary by bike size. My August, 2019 Clem L 52 also requires a 
31.8.  I was interested to note that the seat tube is tapered, 31.8 at the 
bottom, approximately 28.6 at the top.

Thanks for the offer Joe, but I managed to figure it out and ended up with a 
new XTR that the guy at the shop gave me a deal on because it had been sitting 
around for so long. 

Best,

[RBW] Bicycle Lights for Commuting

2019-11-05 Thread Matt C.
I second a cygolite metro for a cheapish battery light for dark rides. Make 
sure you keep the batteries charged though. Nothing worse than trying to 
navigate home on a light that is quickly fading away. I rode with a cygolite 
metro 360 for several years and still use it on my tandem (maybe 7 years of use 
now), so longevity of life is pretty good. 

If you are willing to spend the money on a dynamo set up, it is completely 
worth it to not have to think about your lights. On my Bleriot I'm currently 
riding an SP dynamo PV-8 hub with a Busch and Muller IQ-XS and it is plenty of 
light for my commute on a road without street lights. I also use a B&M Secula 
rear light too.

2019-11-05 Thread PaulS
I had an Edelux II which was excellent. However, I didn’t ride for an extended 
period in the dark to justify a dynamo hub. So now I just ride with a battery 
powered light, front and rear. I really like Lezyne. One I have is 1200 lumens. 
Other is 750 lumens. Both are about 4 years old and still holds charge well. 
I’d not hesitate to buy them again.

Hey Joe - I sent you a P/M but it could have gotten lost in the ether ...

Two quick questions:

1. What's the widest tire that thing will run and/or what's the width on 
the knobbies you're showing in the pics?
2. What's the stand over height?

many thanks / jsk
