Re: [RBW] Re: 30 Days of Biking!

[masmojo]

I've had my Radwagon for a year and I have about 1,200 miles on it. It has 
pedal assist AND throttle. I can't really imagine having one & not the other!? 
Both, have their benefits in normal everyday usage.

Re: [RBW] Replace headset on Clem? Cabin fever?

[Robert Tilley]

  I bought a headset press a while back and have used it twice. I went cheap and bought the Nashbar model which I think I got for $60. I made my own crown race setter using some PVC from Home Depot. That cost only a few dollars.I put it off but a recent project involved installing a 1 1/8" Chris King headset so I bit the bullet and ordered their adapters which were $50. I think it was worth the money to pick these tools up since it means I can take care of these installs myself. Now if I ever need to remove them I'll need some more tools...Robert TilleySan Diego, CA Sent from my BlackBerry - the most secure mobile device   From: daban...@gmail.comSent: April 21, 2020 8:40 AMTo: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.comReply-to: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.comSubject: [RBW] Replace headset on Clem? Cabin fever?  Maybe I'm just getting into bike projects that aren't necessary whatsoever, but I'm interested in swapping up a couple things on my bikes.I've never replaced a headset before, but I'm contemplating upgrading the rinko-style cups that my Clem and wife's Clementine came with for something swankier. Questions:Is this crazy? The current headsets function fine, purely cosmetic.Is this worth it to me to buy the proper tools? I likely won't have a need to change headset aside from these two bikes. Some sort of diy tools?Or should I just let my LBS take care of this?The main reason I'm thinking about this is I added a Silver2 shifter/mount as a headset spacer (works great) and the wider headset cup looks out of place now that everything's a bit cluttered.Photo here: https://www.instagram.com/p/B-99voyFx5D/Thoughts/ideas/suggestions welcome!David

Sorry about that! Luckily, the broncos don’t use those colors anymore, so I

[RBW] 650b tires for 47 cm Roadini

[Eric G@rs]

The clearance according to Vince is 43mm. 38s have plenty of room. I don’t know 
why the geometry charts say otherwise.

[RBW] 650b tires for 47 cm Roadini

[Jim S.]

Eric, did her 47 Roadini have clearance for a 38? I must have read somewhere 
that 35 is max. If it fits 38, there are a few more options for sure.

That's a great analysis Matt.  I totally agree.  It feels strange being on a

[RBW] 650b tires for 47 cm Roadini

[Eric G@rs]

I actually just went through trying to find 35mm tires for my gf’s Roadini. 
Ended up bumping up to 38mm because they were much more readily available. I 
believe Grand Bois Cypres are 32mm, but I couldn’t find those anywhere except 
Japan. Others may be in the know on better options though...

[RBW] Re: In Praise of the Roadini

[Matt Dreher]

I've harped a lot about my travails with my 61 Roadini on here and on iBOB, 
and having just sold it I may as well bring it up for the last time because 
I think it's important to know why you love something.

What makes the Roadini so special is the chainstay length, running from 45 
to 46cm and rising 5mm every size. Mine didn't work out for me because I 
started wanting to take a very un-Rivendell fit with my bars about level 
with the saddle and a 100mm stem. That put my center of mass way further 
forward than it would otherwise, which I found had really adverse effects 
on my handling. Small position changes like avoiding potholes felt like 
they were two consecutive motions instead of one and I felt my rear 
reaching its limit of traction under hard cornering too easily. After I got 
a bike with 41.5 stays I realized that that's what was going on, I was 
taking a position that loaded up my front wheel more and took too much 
weight off the back than what Grant was designing for.

That's also what makes it so good for a position that puts your bars 
significantly higher than the saddle. If I were to try that upright 
Rivendell position on that 41.5-stay bike it would feel awful, far too 
light in the front because there's so much weight on the rear wheel. With 
the Roadini taking an upright position is fine because the geometry lets 
you maintain a neutral weight distribution and good handling.

I'm not sorry I owned it, it was a wonderful bike and it taught me a lot 
about how geometry can imply a certain fit. Glad you're all enjoying yours 
so much!

Re: [RBW] Re: 30 Days of Biking!

[Roberta]

13 rides in 21 days rides, so I'm a little behind.  Today I did a 2 mile 
ride followed by a 2 mile walk.

I left on my AHH with Dyno lights because sunset was just a 1/2 hour away 
and I was planning on doing my standard 12 miles.  Well, I live in the city 
and it was windy, but the buildings helped block it.  However, when I got 
to the path away from buildings, 1 mile away, I could barely move forward 
for the wind on my face.  I turned around and rode home, then went for a 
walk, instead.

I love seeing everyone's pics and reading all these stories.

[RBW] 650b tires for 47 cm Roadini

[Jim S.]

I see Riv sells the Continental basketball tire at 650b x 32, and that tire 
is surely a good one, but I wonder if there are any other roadish tires 
availble in 650b x 32 - 35 range for that small Roadini.

Panaraer Nifty Swifty's would be perfect, but they don't seem to be 
available anymore.

I know this is a first-world problem, but tan sidewalls look a little 
nicer to me than the all-black basketball tires.

Re: [RBW] Re: 30 Days of Biking!

[CB]

My wife has a RadCity. It has 26" wheels and more or less resembles a 
city/hybrid/hardtail. It has a throttle button in addition to pedal assist and 
also has regenerative braking. It all went together fine and works as 
advertised, but with about 100 miles on it it's too early to say anything about 
durability. Looking at the cost of batteries, I expect the bike to be 
borderline disposable once the battery starts losing capacity. With luck that 
will be a long time.

I believe Bicycle Belle Husband's Pedego is throttle only, which is a no go for 
me but he's fine with it. The gentleman is not a cyclist, he's an "I have a way 
to ride with a cyclist" rider, which certainly solved a problem. Throttle on 
bro!

Thanks Masmojo for the info.  In my online searching I liked the look of Rad 
Power bikes and their reviews are mostly positive. And they seem to be a U.S. 
company that stands behind their product. The removable battery makes charging 
easier.

I've got a Radwagon & I can vouch for their value & features, they are pretty 
popular and well built as well as being one of the older Ebike companies at 
this point with a variety of models. They are also doing delivery in some major 
markets (like Austin).
I had been contemplating an Ebike & a cargo bike, so it seemed like a perfect 
opportunity to kill 2 birds with one stone. 
Just got back from a grocery run to Target & back and it's ideal for those 
quick little trips to get a couple bags of groceries.

Personally, I think every household should have at least 1 Ebike; so much 
potential there to not only alter our traffic situation, but also our bike 
infrastructure.

[RBW] Re: Replace headset on Clem? Cabin fever?

[Collin A]

Tool wise you could try this. 
https://www.bearingprotools.com/products/headset-cup-press

It is relatively inexpensive compared to others. They have a USA portal 
site, but it looks like the USA site isn't taking orders right now. In 
another time i'd just say bring it to your LBS, simply because how many 
times will you end up replacing the whole headset and not just switch out 
the bearings? But I am considering buying a whole new bike as a cabin-fever 
project so you can ignore that advice!

The silver shifter as a headset spacer is super smart! I may steal that 
idea so I don't have to buy that IRD shifter mount adapter...

Cheers,
Collin

[RBW] Re: Ghost shifting on the Clem

[Zed Martinez]

I can see the argument for two master links weakening the chain, but I rode 
my larger Clem with a two master link splice the entire time I had it and 
never had any issue really. Actually, I kinda miss that little two master 
link set-up, since the master links didn't wear the same as the chain 
around them but they'd both be on the chainring at once it made a really 
unique set of ticking noises as the chain started to wear and it was a 
useful reminder that I had probably been ignoring my chain, once I figured 
that out anyway.

Interesting. I guess that was in the back of my mind, maybe saw it on a 
blog post. Still, they could have emptied the bucket  and added an 
extension the old fashioned way. I always thought 2 master links was not 
recommended. Can't think why. Or, it was simply a case of TUSL (Totally 
Undiagnosable Stiff Link)

Do I think you can do it? Sure, I'll even send you my headset tool (including 
adapters for CK if you buy their fancy headset), just pay shipping and ship it 
back someday. I never got around to using it and may never bother. 

Do I think the current headset is fine and you're crazy? Yes! But it might be a 
fun project anyway 

Nope. Part of being an enthusiast is sweating the details.

> Is this worth it to me to buy the proper tools?
I used this DIY guide  when I was starting 
out (and added the term "bodge" to my shadetree mechanic lexicon.) If 
anything, getting a simple headset press which just does 1" and 1 1/8" 
headsets might be worth it. I had terrible luck with the DIY one: it's 
tough to keep those headset cups straight as they go into the headtube. I 
got the one from Jenson 

.

> Or should I just let my LBS take care of this?
Doing it yourself is an adventure and a learning experience; going to your 
LBS is more convenient and less out-of-pocket cost, they likely could use 
your business now, and you avoid the risk of damaging your headset cups.


Good luck,
Ed C.

Ha, I'd be super impressed if she knew 1/10th of those things. She'd ask me

print them, and apply. She didn't ask me how to spell "hardwear".

[RBW] Replace headset on Clem? Cabin fever?

[Ian A]

DIY tools are easy enough to make with a trip to the hardware store. 
Professional tools will make sure the cups seat evenly, but with care you can 
get the cups to seat evenly even with DIY.

If the current headsets are functioning well, I'd push you to spend your cabin 
fever budget on some RH riding knickers or some nice riding bags or something.

I have a Tange headset on my winter bike which won't die despite 8 years of 
gruelling conditions. When the Shimano 105 failed on my touring bike, I 
switched to a very economical Tange Passage unit which was low enough stack to 
work on my fork/frame combo. It's a frankly excellent headset. I think it was 
sub $20. 

If you do decide to change your headsets just be aware of stack height 
requirements.

Re: [RBW] Dyno light installation, which side of the do you prefer?

[Jeffery Shepherd]

Thanks for all the input. For now, I have a left side nitto light mount on
the way. When the local bike co-op opens back up I'm going to sift through
the parts bin and try the centerpull brake arm hack. Maybe the light can
get far enough forward to clear the basket/tire and I can play around with
mounting left or right side.

Ah, thanks. I can't tell from that particular photo but I was hoping for a 
silver one.

TSR would be tall short, the tooth profile you see on the wolf tooth

[RBW] Replace headset on Clem? Cabin fever?

[David B]

Maybe I'm just getting into bike projects that aren't necessary whatsoever, 
but I'm interested in swapping up a couple things on my bikes.
I've never replaced a headset before, but I'm contemplating upgrading the 
rinko-style cups that my Clem and wife's Clementine came with for something 
swankier. 

Questions:
Is this crazy? The current headsets function fine, purely cosmetic.
Is this worth it to me to buy the proper tools? I likely won't have a need 
to change headset aside from these two bikes. Some sort of diy tools?
Or should I just let my LBS take care of this?

The main reason I'm thinking about this is I added a Silver2 shifter/mount 
as a headset spacer (works great) and the wider headset cup looks out of 
place now that everything's a bit cluttered.

Thoughts/ideas/suggestions welcome!
David

All sold except for the White Industries cranks, price drop to $100 shipped 
for them. If you'd rather have a set of silver WI Cranks, I could part with 
the set I'm currently using for the $110 price.

Re: [RBW] Re: 30 Days of Biking!

[Leah Peterson]

Hi Doug,

He got a Pedego Interceptor - I call it the Interloper . Got it for a steal on 
Craigslist and it works great for him. It’s really beach cruiser-y though; I 
don’t know if I’d choose that particular model, but it’s what was available. 
There are so many e-bikes on the market and not a lot of them are quality (per 
the mechanic I talked to) but Pedego seems pretty solid. They have their own 
“dealerships” and there happens to be one in Henderson so that’s where we take 
it for service. Pretty convenient! I wish I had a place I could trust to take 
MY bike...

Monday eve 5-7:30 went for walk in woods and drove into our small town
and it was dead in the park on the trails and in town, and the weather
was just as good.

So I guess it really was just Sunday drivers I should avoid. I will
have to take that into account, by the weekend people are too cooped
up to stay in the house with the kids. Maybe need to shift my
telecommute and ride more in the week and avoid the weekends.

Good story Leah! I'm curious about JPs ebike. Which one did he buy? I've

commute. The Rad Power ebikes look like a good value.

[RBW] Re: FS: 60cm Simpleone F/F/HS/Wheels

[Matt Beecher]

Why is it that I have a QB and another singlespeed, but I still want this 
one too?  It serves neither purpose better than the other two (QB is 
fendered and the other is "go-fast"), but I want this anyway.  I hope 
somebody removes the temptation quickly for me.  

If this was posted a bit over a year ago, I would have pounced on the 
initial post.  As it is, I am doing my best not to buy another 
frameset...although I have all the rest of the components.  

Here's a free bump for the seller and a good price.

Best regards,
Matt in Oswego, IL

[RBW] Re: steps to mount a tire / tubeless is easy?

['hobie' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Tubeless is basically set it and forget it. If I was traveling by bike 
around the world I would use tubes only because I doubt you can get Stans 
in some remote village in Vietnam. The less I have to think about my bike 
the better. A maintence free bike is the way to go for me. It I had the $ I 
would assemble a bike w. a Pinion drive w. Gates Belt, titanium frame w a 
Lauf Grit fork. Almost maintence free. A very Green bike.

[RBW] Re: Camping bikes

[Craig Montgomery]

Here's a fun one for you Jason. From the master himself: 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ny81vcxTZQk 

Ian always said what you take for the weekend is the same as what you take 
around the world. The only difference is the amount of food and water. Of 
course when he said it we didn't have satellite weather like now. So you 
had to be prepared for anything and everything. Have been looking for a 
stove like that but they're pretty pricey now.

 Anton, should I be shocked that your daughter could correctly identify all 
the small little parts and fasteners? I mean, some of the parts are quite 
esoteric!
