[RBW] Re: New (to me) bike day -- 57cm A. Homer Hilsen

[Jason Fuller]

I understand the need for a low-key bike, but also not wanting an actual 
pedestrian frame. My solution was a Clem H with a bunch of decals. This 
solution looks like it must ride fantastically.  I don't, however, condone 
selling your Sam H based on it being too pretty - I am betting you'll 
regret selling it in time!

[RBW] New (to me) bike day -- 57cm A. Homer Hilsen

[Joe Bernard]

It's weird to see those familiar tubes and lugs under a glossy coat of basic 
black, but I dig it. In an interesting way it almost takes the wraps off, like 
the frame itself announces what it is instead of the graphics.

Hey mike, I have a fairly new Clem L 64 I would trade for your Appaloosa

If that sounds huge, being a step thru and looking at your seat post it would 
fit you well. The newer gen Clem’s have bigger tire clearance it’s bronze green

I suspect the Soma Supple Vitesse would have fit based on the Big Bens that 
barely fit according to these photos from another list member:

But I’m happy with having ordered the 38mm g-one speed tires. I’ll wear them

[RBW] Re: 3-speed cassette?

['Deacon Patrick' via RBW Owners Bunch]

As others have said, that sounds overly complex for simplicity. Grin. More 
simple options:

1. ride your current cassette and just shift two gears at a time, or far 
less frequently, whatever works for you to not think about it much.
2. convert to a single speed via ENO hub and chain tensioner. This is 
"simple" only in the sense of riding the bike, as it involves derailure 
removal and likely a new wheel for the hub. Option one is your best bet.

With abandon,
Patrick (who rides two fixed gear bikes and one 1x11)

[RBW] Re: Tires for Hillborne: talk me out of 48mm Soma Fabrications Supple Vitesse EX TR

[Jason Fuller]

I love Rene Herse tires but I would buy a different brand for tubeless. 
They seem to be more fickle than other brands for tubeless. Maybe the 
endurance casing is better?  

60 psi is very high for 44c, I run my 42c at 40 - 45 psi.  That would be 
the first adjustment I would make, personally.  48c ought to be 35 - 40 psi 
IMO, maybe 45 if you're bigger / carrying loads

Cheers all!  The Sam is my fancy bike while the Clem is quite a budget

They are the Compass / Rene Herse cranks and rings - they are beautiful, 
light weight, and available in any size you could want.  On the other hand 
they are considerably more expensive than comparable stuff, and also with 
the very narrow Q factor I do hit my heels on the crank arm occasionally 
(on flat pedals of course) if wearing chunkier shoes/boots.

I’m convinced Adam, though I ordered the “Speed” because that’s what I have on 
my Rosco Baby (albeit in 60mm width) and I really enjoy them. I don’t get the 
Sam in much dirt (the Rosco, my Cheviot, or, if needed, my Salsa El Mariachi!) 
so it’s my “go slightly faster bike” that will enjoy much more pavement and 
occasional gravel/dirt. 

No tan sidewalls, not as wide, but a bit cheaper and possibly better puncture 
resistance than the Snoqualmie Pass tires I guess.

Re: [RBW] 3-speed cassette?

[Patrick Moore]

I don't understand triple rings instead of triple cogs; much easier to
shift in back than in front, and besides you get more gear ratio difference
per tooth in back than in front.

I do agree that, if you are going to use an 8 speed cassette hub, you might
as well have 8 cogs even if you don't often use all of them.

As for shifting mismatched cogs: indexing seems to suffer a bit with
cassettes constructed from miscellaneous cogs from the big box, but IME
it's not all that bad; sometimes you have to replace adjacent cogs to get
them to work well together, but generally it works well -- have done this
on a couple of drivetrains, 7 speed and 9 speed. With friction, OTOH,
mismatched cogs -- and I'm talking about 7, 8, 9, and 10 sp, as well as
Uniglide, all in the mix -- works very well, better than, IME, or at veryt
least as well as, the old, pre- HG and pre-UG freewheels. I shift a
home-made 13-14-15-16-17-18-19-21-23-25 (or is it 26?) cassette on my dirt
road bike made from who knows what mix of scavenged cogs, using SunTour
barcons (old Dura Ace rd), and it is wonderful.

I've already had a wheel built for my 2003 26" wheel Riv Road custom
replacement using a 1956 Sturmey Archer AM hub with 0.8654 / 1.0 / 1.115
ratios, basically the equivalent of 2 teeth in the middle gear range -- say
55" - 63" - 70". The (God willing) new bike -- plans to discuss with
Chauncey next week -- will be adjusted to preserve the impeccable handling
with road -- 28 to 32 mm -- tires, but hopefully also take 42s and fenders.
I do ride the 28 mm Elk Passes on dirt already, so this new one may be a
nice, close ratio all rounder.

[RBW] 3-speed cassette?

[Joe Bernard]

Eric's right, you're not really simplifying anything by going that route, plus 
the gear range wouldn't be great. The better plan I think for 1x3 is a single 
cog in back with spacers or Gear Clamps, a Paul or Shimano tensioner and a 
triple front with fd. I've done it, you get nice big jumps for up/flat/down and 
the shifting is great.

Re: [RBW] 3-speed cassette?

[Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA]

Would it help if the three cogs were taken from the middle of the stack so 
to speak - not changing the ramp locations?

Re: [RBW] 3-speed cassette?

I tried this once to simulate a three speed hub. It didn’t last long for
me. The shifting wasn’t great, because the teeth ramps didn’t align, and
the overall complexity was as a great as a 1x8, etc. that offered a lot
more range.

[RBW] 3-speed cassette?

[Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA]

Thinking of taking 5 cogs out of an 8 speed cassette and using a pair of 
the gear-clamps Riv sells to end up with a 3-speed. Something like 16-18-20 
or close to that.  The idea is that for rail-trail riding I want minimal 
clutter, but would still use a rear derailer and single shift level. Using 
the gear clamps would help optimize chainline. Anyone try anything like 
that before?

Re: [RBW] Re: Vaughn's custom for sale

[phil k]

Michael this looks good!

I would love a lighter tubed Hunqapillar that is slightly bigger than the 
48cm I used to have!

That is also my favorite Riv color, aside from the bronze-green of their 
older Cheviots.

Might be my favorite Riv color scheme.

 Bullmoose plus thunder burts plus a wide range cassette looks like a very fun
