Re: [RBW] Re: Electric bicycles (Was: Copenhagen wheel)

[masmojo]

I have the Radpower - Rad Wagon

They're only $1,700 base price. Probably a couple hundred more with any 
accessories you may want. If you don't need a Cargo bike specifically you 
could go cheaper maybe??
mine is 3rd Gen; they have a new 4th Gen with smaller (but wider) wheels.
https://www.radpowerbikes.com/products/radwagon-electric-cargo-bike

Mine: https://photos.app.goo.gl/EMbugYY5s8y9W3KV7

Blurry picture with a Ridgid bin on the back for 
groceries: https://photos.app.goo.gl/bThEbwVsT28h4sJRA

There still are kits out there; I've seen one on Ebay that actually is a 
motor that attaches slightly forward of the bottom bracket and powers the 
bike there rather than the wheel; I've heard they are good, but I don't 
know?? 
I think if I was going to convert a bike ; that's the way I'd go.

I am actually a proponent of just getting an actual bike; there are SO many 
differences other that one having a motor and the other not.  Beefier rims 
and tires, integrated everything, Lever activated brake lights, more 
power!!!
Grant mentioned in his Blahg about some rims they found that are actually 
E-bike rims; that concerns me a little because E-bike rims are not known 
for being light. in fact they are generally quite heavy
I had a hard time finding pics of my Ebike generally because to me it's 
something I don't think to take pictures of, it's a tool that just happens 
to also be a bike! 
I won't say that it's not attractive in it's own way, but I don't think 
about it much.

Re: [RBW] FS: Dynamo Light, SimWorks Bars, Teravail Tires

[Collin A]

Alrighty, the bars were quite popular, but went to the local buyer (who was 
also first dibs).

Rest of the bits are still up for grabs:

B IQ-XS, silver, 65cm cable, rear light connectors installed. It's been 
on a bike for about a year, but only about 50 miles on it, if that. I have 
the rear light cord, shorty mount, and the front reflector as well if 
desired. *$90 shipped*

Teravail Cannonball 650x40 light and supple, tan. About 300-400 miles. A 
good Country-Bike tire for a new Sam or AHH. Cannonball | Teravail 
 *$50 shipped*

IRD Scramjet BB for Shimano Hollowtech II cranks. Spins smoothly. This one: IRD 
ScramJet Bottom Bracket Cups w/bearings | Soma Fab Shop 

. *$30 Shipped*

Cheers,
Collin in Sacramento

 If you are going to talk about the flexing of a Rivendell, built from

 I believe the Clem Smith Jr. is designed in a way that you don't need 
 to load it down to get a good ride feel.  I have light and flexy bikes, 
 531 
 and Tange Prestige, had a custom L'Avecaise with skinny thinny top tube. 
 While they certainly ride differently than my 650B 52cm Clem L and my 700c 
 56cm Susie, I would not describe either of the Rivs as lumbering, even in 
 comparison. Of course the 2.6" Honchos on the Susie are slower on the road 
 than the 48mm Switchback Hills on *El Clem*. And while I agree 
 handlebars can contribute to how we respond to a bicycle, I love getting 
 up 
 out of the saddle on my Clem and grabbing tight to the Hunt-Wilde finger 
 grips on my Bullmoose Boscos  to sprint over a small rise, or jam up the 
 last meters of a hill. Every bit as satisfying as sprinting on a 531 frame 
 with Maes parallel drop bars! On the other hand, the VO Klunker bars on 
 the 
 Susie are set just a tad too high to be conducive to an out of the saddle 
 full wattage effort. But they have other redeeming qualities!

TC, thanks for this suggestion.  I've been looking at the Schwalbe G-Ones

Maybe I will splurge for the more expensive Speeds since you all have

Jim,
Try some *Schwalbe G-One Speed 
*' tires with 
Schwalbe's Extra Light tubes.  Expensive, but from my experience with diff 
tires (from road to knobby) on my 59 Clem H, they are simply excellent.  
About as light as you'll get, fast, grippy, no flats yet.  If you go with 
the 2-inchers, they'll fit very nicely under the VO fluted fenders.[image:

[David Wadstrup]

Good morning, Bones,

Just sent a PM.


Is anyone able to tell me what the PBH range is for this 62cm frame? I've 
hunted around online and can't turn anything up.

Thanks all!

[RBW] Single wall rim durability

[Tom Palmer]

Hi all,
I am finally getting around to working on Patrick Moores' 03 Curt custom. I 
like the wide look of the ubiquitous 26" silver MTB rims from the late 80's 
and early 90's. The wheels in question came on an MB-3 and are 130mm 
spaced, which is what I need for the Riv. The intended use is light touring 
and commuting on 26x1.35 Kojaks. The wheels are 36 spoke and seem pretty 
solid. The rims do have reinforcement along where the braking surface and 
rim bed meet. I will retension and true just for confidence sake. any real 
concern for  durability?
Thanks,
Tom Palmer
Twin Lake, MI USA

Re: [RBW] Re: B65 fenders in 650B?

[Den John]

Thanks, Tom. Planet Bike looks like a great initiative. TBH if I can't find
the SKS in the right size, I'll probably cough up for some 650B Gilles
Berthoud inox fenders.
I have a 26" set and they are very nice and also very effective.

Cheers,
Johnny

[RBW] Re: B65 fenders in 650B?

[Tom Palmer]

Hi Johnny,
Not SKS and not sure available in Belgium, but the Planet Bike Alux have a 
wide fender in 650B.  I used them over 584x54 Thunderburts. I like them 
very much. Solid and quiet.
Hope you find a solution.
