[RBW] Re: Check your PMs

[Craig Montgomery]

 I've been sitting here the last couple of days wondering if I should 
email this guy and lecture him about common courtesy.  He left me hanging. 
As the seller I'd like to know what I'm going to do with what I'm selling 
within a reasonable time period. Am I going to sell it to him or has he 
lost interest? Which is OK. He doesn't even have to give reasons as long as 
we both know what's happening. Then I know if I can a) keep it or b) put it 
back on the market. As a buyer I have the responsibility to either complete 
a transaction or let the seller know I'm changing my mind so he can move 
on. 
 Fortunately, in my two decades experience on our lists, a no response 
has been a very rare occurrence. Most the time we are all just like guys 
hanging out in the garage. Keeping that in mind makes it easier to blow off 
those individuals off who were raised improperly. Thank goodness we don't 
need an Ann Landers hanging around all the time.

Re: [RBW] Re: Tire Recommendations for an All-Rounder

[Patrick Moore]

Beware that sealants can clog the valves to the point where you can't get
air in, even with a floor pump. I've had this happen, and had to remover
the core and use a wire to unclog the stem, and wash off the core. Perhaps
Orange Seal is worse for this than Stan's; which may be the shadow side of
its superior sealing properties, at least IME. (I am talking of the Stan's
sold circa 2013 or 2014.) This would be a real frustration out on the road.

[Drw]

I think Kai recommended this to me when I asked and it’s definitely the best 
way. I bought the yepp rack that works With the seat and it’s super easy. My 
friend has it on a nitto rack and it requires a fairly burly adapter that also 
negates both nitto and yepp warrantee/recommended limits.

[RBW] Re: BEST REAR MOUNTED KID SEAT FOR HILLBORNE

[Kainalu V. -Brooklyn NY]

You'd need a special piece, which also raises the rack height about 2", making 
your load/kiddo sit higher= more leverage/trouble. Best to get a dedicated rack 
with the appropriate window. Sounds like a pain, but the Yepp maxi is a really 
great seat that's worth it.

As a counterpoint, I have responded to folks selling items multiple times and 
not received responses. Most recently this occurred even after multiple 
messages. Is there any sort of mail filtering issues with google group 
messages? I can only assume that it was unintentional on the sellers’ part and 
something else is amiss — is this a common issue or is it peculiar to me?

Easy. Use an $8 rear derailleur.

*Running and ducking. I jest, I jest!*

In all seriousness, if times are slow, I can see Rivendell doing an 
interesting one-off campaign and charging just enough to cover costs, with 
the real goal of keeping the craftsmen ( Nobilette, Bell, Abele & co) 
working. Such is their ethos. In any case, in the Blahg, Grant mentioned 
that cost is controlled through modifying existing designs, and making most 
details, including color, non-negotiable. Again, I'm intrigued as to what 
will turn out!

i agree with this a lot. i sell bike stuff on instagram @adom_sale and it's 
super annoying when I list a hot ticket item, one person responds with 
"extreme interest" and says they can pay soon, only to go MIA for three 
days while four other buyers are lined up, ready to send funds. it's gotten 
to the point where i won't hold an item for someone who does this; i just 
sell it to the next person in line. too bad for the person who was first in 
line.

[RBW] Re: Help me buy a Riv

[Adam Leibow]

if you are prioritizing a city build, i'd go with the Homer or Sam. You 
don't need the meaty tires of the Atlantis/Cheviot/Joe, and if you do 
decide to do some offroad, the Homer & Sam are still great at it. The 
bigger-clearance'd, stouter-tubed Rivendells might become annoying if you 
are trying to zip through the city all the time. That said, they'd still be 
pretty darn fun.

 Executing sensational builds is maybe my favorite bicycle related

 the builds are done.  These builds have a fair bit of overlap and 
 redundancy.  I love them all, but none of them is entirely indispensable.  
 So, just in case somebody wants a slightly used spectacular build for less

 them.  Rather than make this a hugely long post with descriptions of each, 
 I'll be super brief and list what it would cost to relieve me of any of 
 these great bikes.  All of them fit me perfectly for the application for 
 which they were built, and I'm 5'10" with a 75.5cm saddle height.

 1. Turnkey 57cm Legolas Cyclocross Racing bike:  $4250
 2. 59cm Roadeo complete:  $3500
 3. Turnkey loaded touring build of a 56cm canti-Sam Hillborne (with 
 single TT): $3000
 4. Monster-commuter, or Swiss-Army-Knife drop-bar, 56cm 650B MIT 
 Atlantis:  $2600
 5. XC Racing carbon hardtail Niner Air9 mountain bike: $4500
 6. Deluxe derailer-less two-speed custom Gunnar Crosshairs: $1600
 7. Vintage Rossin 650B conversion road bike: $1000
 8. Turnkey Eroica 1985 60cm Univega Gran Premio: $500
 9. Rosco-Bubbe Road (blue lift-a-tube) complete: $950
 10. Niner RLT9 650B Road Plus: $2600

[RBW] Re: In your opinion, what's missing from the Riv lineup?

[Adam Leibow]

I think they should widen the tire clearance on a Homer, but keep the 
lighter tube spec. This would be an all-day rider (not a tourer) but with 
2.2" clearance for extreme fire roads and easier single track, a la Crust 
Bombora or Black Mtn Cycles monster cross. Perfect bike for a mixed terrain 
brevet.

[RBW] Rivendell friendly airbnb Sacramento to Fresno?

[Justin Wyne]

Howdy y'all 

I'm driving south from Oregon and wondered if anyone in the bunch has or knows 
of a rivendell friendly airbnb room available for the night? Close proximity to 
a morning ride is a plus. My Rivendell and I are in Chico now and should be in 
Sacramento round 6pm or Fresno round 9 I think.

This felt weird to post but then didnt. Some of the best folks I've met have 
been on a rivendell so it seemed like a reasonable thing to inquire

[RBW] Re: Looking for an all-road bike to hire for a week in Boston area

[Bill Lindsay]

Thank you for the responses.  Just now my work sent out a company wide 
email that we're putting a moratorium on travel because of coronavirus and 
corporate revenue concerns until further notice.  So, I may not be 
traveling after all.  haha.

I make a point to use them all.  They are all dialed.  My stable is

Sounds as if the first model will be roadish and that other bikes in the series 
may be different. I hope one of the models is a lighter canti bike …

[RBW] Re: Looking for an all-road bike to hire for a week in Boston area

[Mike Blackwell]

Urban Adventours (https://www.urbanadventours.com/) in downtown Boston 
rents decent road and cyclocross bikes. Friendly folks. A little on the 
spendy side but you might be able to work out something reasonable if 
you're renting the bike for a while. Worth checking out, anyway.

That time of year can be dicey weather-wise, but lots of great riding to be 
had!

Update regarding the Sam Hillborne.  I rode it on my 40 mile hilly commute 
to the office this morning and I'm reconvinced that I radically underpriced 
it at $3k.  It's perfect.  I'm taking it off the market and putting it in

Re: [RBW] Re: Tire Recommendations for an All-Rounder

[Patrick Moore]

Curious: What sealant? I tried Stan's in tubes in fat tires (50 mm F Freds)
at ~25 psi or so, and found that the pressure insufficient to get the
sealant where it was needed. Same sealant in same tire but tubeless, no
problems at sub 20 psi.

My brother has had the same problems with Orange Seal in RTPs at ~30 and
has to pump the harder than otherwise would be preferred.

[RBW] Re: BEST REAR MOUNTED KID SEAT FOR HILLBORNE

[David B]

I'll add on about the Yepp Maxi, however with the caveat to get a rack that 
fits the Easyfit window so no need for parts clamping to a different rack. 
Here's my setup on a Clem - we have two of these setups - I'll likely be 
looking to sell a rack/seat combo sometime soon if anyone's interested - 
older child is ready to transition to something else.

[RBW] Looking for an all-road bike to hire for a week in Boston area

[Surlyprof]

I used to ride out toward Concord and swing by Walden Pond on my training rides 
when I lived there back in the ‘80’s.  That was always a nice place to ride.  
Lots of the old colonial rock walls and houses.

I've used the product I recommended above on bicycles with good results. 
You could try a bit on the bottom of the bottom bracket or a chainstay.

[RBW] Re: Tire Recommendations for an All-Rounder

[Gabriel Bruguier]

+1 for RTP's!  I've been commuting on the black walled EL version since 
last October (with a bit of sealant in my tubes) and have had no problems 
whatsoever with flats.  I like 23 psi front/25 psi back.  Every day that I 
ride them I experience a renewed sense of appreciation.  They're so smooth, 
and so fast.

[RBW] Looking for an all-road bike to hire for a week in Boston area

[Bill Lindsay]

It looks like work travel will have me in and around Boston for the first 
part of April. I've been riding a fair bit and would like to maintain 
during my time back east as I'll be working up to a 400k later that month. 
Ideally I would teleport my 56cm Hillborne back and forth, but I also would 
entertain hiring a bike for that time. My instinct is to reach out to 
Harris Cyclery, which I'll probably do. 

My work activities will have me in Wilmington for a few days and then in 
Boston the following week.  I could conceivably weekend elsewhere in New 
England for the riding.  

What should I add to my list of considerations?

[RBW] Re: BEST REAR MOUNTED KID SEAT FOR HILLBORNE

[Justin Kennedy (Brooklyn, NY)]

I'll second the rack-mounted Thule Yepp Maxi. (don't get the seat 
tube-mounted version) Get a Nitto Big Rear Rack 

 to 
put it on and you're good to go.

Re: [RBW] In your opinion, what's missing from the Riv lineup?

[hugh flynn]

I agree with Dave - It's the single-speed option that's missing from the
line-up.

I've been getting by with a Surly Cross Check set up as a fixed gear for
the last 22 years, and I've missed every opportunity that Grant has offered
to buy a SimpleOne/QuickBeam over the years, but should they return to the
line up, I'd be sure to grab one.
