Basically all interchangeable with some slight disagreements on the chain; 
match the chain to the cassette say some, pooey to that say others.

[RBW] Are Shimano and SRAM 11speed mountain interchangeable?

As a follow up question re; 11 speed on 8-9-10 hubs. 

Are Shimano and SRAM 11 speed cassettes and derailers interchangeable. 
David Person posted an article outlining the differences between freehubs. 
Assuming the SRAM cassette designed for Shimano HG is used, do I need to 
use a Shimano derailer?

If I use a Shimano 11 speed cassette can I use the SRAM 11 speed derailer?

Thank you 
Ray

 The Shimano M7000 series of components will work for you. As will SRAM 
 Apex and MicroShift XCD. The Shimano is easiest as there's no mixing & 
 matching, if it says "7000" it will work together plus the cost is very 
 reasonable.

 I predate indexing & remember well it's introduction (which was a 
 revelation) and I think friction shifting when you don't have to is 
 ludicrous all around. Heretic words here I know!

I cannot believe it! You, on your Cheviot with a Platypus on order, and Maia on

You won’t believe this - I was riding my Cheviot in Simi Valley tonight, 
about to rejoin the bike path after a quick hill detour, when someone 
called out “Is that a Rivendell?” Turns out I ran into Maia on her new 
Platy, and Will! We had a good chat about components and how wonderful the 
bikes are.  What are the odds?
I of course told them I am waiting  on delivery of my son’s Platy 55 lime

 Using. 135mm mountain hub from Shimano, will an 11 speed cassette work?
 I’m considering a 1x drivetrain and would prefer to use a hub I already 
 have. 

 Secondly, it looks like SRAM and Shimano both make/made 11 speed rear 
 derailers. 
 Anyone have their preferences?
  Does friction shifting become ludicrous at 11?


 Thank you

 Using. 135mm mountain hub from Shimano, will an 11 speed cassette work?
 I’m considering a 1x drivetrain and would prefer to use a hub I already 
 have. 

 Secondly, it looks like SRAM and Shimano both make/made 11 speed rear 
 derailers. 
 Anyone have their preferences?
  Does friction shifting become ludicrous at 11?

[RBW] Re: FOR SALE: Custom Rivendell Road Bike

2021-04-25 Thread Joe Bernard

One caveat about the sizing that's been worked out before folks think it's 
too tall for them: I believe in that schematic the seattube has been 
measured to the very tip of the lug, which is where that 65cm number is 
coming from. Rivendell measures to the top of the toptube as it crosses the 
seattube, which I think will be a number closer to the toptube number of 
61, i.e., the frame is probably 62 x 61cm. Just a guess of course and no 
slight on Helen's measuring, she's doing the best she can with what folks 
have told her to measure. 

I also offer my condolences, I'm very sorry for your loss.

Re: [RBW] Re: WTB: Wide range double crankset

Joe,
I just measured the Sugino AT on a 127mm spindle. I get 153mm without 
cinching the bolts down. This is just a hand press fit with a gentle tap to 
make sure they are on straight. 
Since you want a wide range double, I’m assuming you plan on using the 
inner ring. 
By eliminating the inner ring and running a compact double that would allow 
running a narrower Q

I don’t think most modern cranks will improve on that for you. 

Hope that helps 

Ray

[RBW] Re: WTB: Wide range double crankset

2021-04-25 Thread Bob Lovejoy

I am not expert enough to explain where the differences come from, but 
different cranks use different bb spindle lengths to get the same 
configuration.  The Sugino AT's just happen to use a relatively long 
spindle but once installed they clear the chainstays exactly as they 
should.  That said, being a triple, the Q factor is going to be more than a 
double.

Sheldon's BB chart is here:  https://www.sheldonbrown.com/bbsize.html  
(scroll down to the Sugino section for the Sugino AT)
I wish there were more Q factors filled in but hopefully there is enough 
info there to do some comparisons.

If you do go with a double, the IRD compact double (46/30) might be on your 
list... I have that on a Hilsen and it works great.  I am sure there are 
other great options as well.
http://boulderbicycle.bike/IRD-Compact-Crank-46-30-assorted-lengths.html

Hopefully other AT users (or ??) will chime in with more knowledge and 
experience...

[RBW] Re: WTB: Wide range double crankset

2021-04-25 Thread Bob Lovejoy

I have had great luck using the IRD QB-95 BB (127.5) with the AT cranks, at 
times using a drive side spacer (sorry I do remember but I will guess at 
3-5mm for the spacer).

http://boulderbicycle.bike/IRD-JIS-Bottom-Bracket-QB-95-lots-of-sizes-best-bb-option-REGARDLESS-of-cost.html

The AT's are great cranks if you stay with a triple... and the BB cost is 
going to be less than a different crankset.

Re: [RBW] What draws you to a single speed bike?

2021-04-25 Thread Patrick Moore

My first full bike build, from scratch age 15 (high summer, December 1970,
90 miles south of the Equator; bought local frame, crank, bb, scavenged and
traded rest) had a 50 t cottered crank and 15 t fw for a 90" gear, and no
brakes because the frame was a cheap Indian copy of a Raleigh DL-1 frame
made for 635 mm bsd wheels, and my rear wheel was (steel, flip flop,
Czecho) 700C and the front 24" from my kid brother's bike. I rode it all
over the countryside on narrow, winding, really dangerous roads and in
downtown traffic without brakes, jamming my right Ked hightop against the
(small) front tire. I wore a deep groove laterally across the sole. Finally
I got tired of that and installed a flea market coaster brake, which must
have been quite worn, or perhaps the high gear was responsible, but it was
either on or off. Sold the bike for KS 150/- to finance a ratty early '60s
Varsity. How do kids survive?

Re: [RBW] What draws you to a single speed bike?

When I was a teenager and before I could afford a ten speed, I rode an old 
green Raleigh 3 speed that I stripped down and put ten speed wheels on with 
the chain in the center of the 5 speed sprocket. Removing the brakes, 
shifters, heavy wheels and all the bits made it rally sporty. Aluminum 
wheels made it the nicest bike I had ever owned. It had no breaks so I 
would wedge the back of my boot between the rear tire and the seat tube. I 
had excellent (in my mind) braking. The guy at the boot store wanted to 
know how I wore the U-shaped channel in the heel of my boot. 
I rode that bike everywhere and never gave it a second thought. It had a 
Brooks saddle. 

I currently have an Ibis Scorcher which is by far the best fixed gear bike 
I have ever owned. 
Once in a while I consider selling it but then I ride it and remember just 
how great it works for me. 

It currently sports 38mm Rene Herse knobbies. I think it’s close to as good 
as it can be. 
It looks like it would fit a 44mm tire in the rear but not the front. 

I prefer fixed to SS and flip flop wheel has never been flipped beyond 
checking the chain length. 

Roberta, if you’re curious  about such bikes, build one. I would advise 
getting something that fits at least a 32mm tire, fatter if possible. 
Only you can decide if it works for. 
It’s a little like asking someone who rides a motorcycle why they ride one. 
 A dog hanging his head out the window of a truck understands why.

Re: [RBW] What draws you to a single speed bike?

My winter bike when I was racing was an 80's Team Technium, not quite as 
ugly as they were blue with white lugs bag then. Still looked like a trip

Re: [RBW] Re: Dim lighting on SON hub/Edelux II headlight

2021-04-25 Thread brian tester

Is the hub a SON Delux or a SON28? I ask because the Delux was technically 
developed for 20" wheel bikes, with higher rotation rates. While it works 
fine built into a larger diameter wheel (and will introduce less pedalling 
resitance and will weigh slightly less than the SON28,) it will produce 
less wattage as the the wheel diameter grows. So a 700c wheel with a 
fattish tire will make fewer rotations per foot than an ideal 20" wheel, 
therefore producing less watts. Add a tail light to the equation and the 
hub will be hard-pressed to bring the headlight to full brightness. 

The SON28, on the other hand, is recommended for larger diameter wheels and 
situations involving additional lighting, i.e. a tail light, and device 
charging via USB. Probably not exactly what you want to hear, if you do 
have the SON Delux, but it could go a long way toward explaining your 
frustrating lack of light.

[RBW] Re: WTB: Wide range double crankset

What crank length Joe?
The AT  may need a 127mm bb with a +5mm to the drive side. 
There is currently a cup and cone unit on eBay. 
Those ATs are pretty nice cranks, it may be worth sourcing the correct bb.

Re: [RBW] Re: Dim lighting on SON hub/Edelux II headlight

2021-04-25 Thread Joe Bernard


"I don’t have SON or SP hub but a shimano. I’ve used the same wheel on two 
different bikes and feel there is some difference in the feel of the same 
hub between the two bikes. I am much more likely to feel a bit of vibration 
on the Atlantis at certain speeds than I am with the same wheel on my Trek. 
Maybe sound too. Why? I don’t know, just saying - different fork, stem, 
bars etc."

That's an interesting data point, Bill. Those Clems (Leah's other and 
quieter bike) are thick-walled cruisers that seem to pick up any 
noise/vibration from the road and spit it back out with the rider utterly 
unaware of all that drama. I'll bet the lighter/thinner-walled tubes of the 
Platypus are more prone to broadcasting noise and vibration coming from the 
pavement and moving parts on the frame.

 So, what can that mean? But it does go away in other gears. I’m stuck with

[RBW] Re: Sam sizing advice

2021-04-25 Thread Jason Fuller

Joe is quite right - and if you were a little shorter, I'd say whether to 
go 51 or 54 would depend on what handlebar setup you want to run, but at 
5'11" even with your inseam I am very confident 54 is your size.  I'm 
5'8.5" and 80 pbh and my 51 fits great with a short stem and drop bars, but 
I would need to max out the stem length to run even Albatross bars - and 
there is no way I could run L/T/Boscos, the bike would just be way too 
short for it.  Plus, I have lots of standover.  I would have gone 54 if I 
was planning to run upright bars, I think, although I'm the opposite on 
wheels - I wanted 650B, and am not interested in 700c.  

I am hoping that the Appaloosa gets a revamp to lengthen it akin to the 
Platys, so it can be a dedicated upright bar bike with more appropriate 
length. ie,  I think the 51 should have a ~610 ETT, while it currently has 
a 575.  Plus, that would separate it out from the Atlantis, which could 
still remain a drop bar-able touring bike.  I think I'm onto something 
here!

Great looking orange Roadini, drop bars, and bar end shifters. Near Malaga Cove 
Plaza on Palos Verdes Drive West. I was envious as I was in a hurry for

[RBW] WTB: Wide range double crankset

2021-04-25 Thread Joe M.

I'm building a Sam and setting it up with a 12-32 8-speed cassette. I have 
a Sugino AT 24/34/46 that won't fit, even with a 122.5mm BB! It fits as a 
double but I want more granny gearing!

Does anyone have a wide range double that they'd be willing to part with. 
Ideally it would be 26/42. A Rene Herse or Specialties TA Pro 5 Vis would 
be the bees knees!

Thanks,

Joe from Los Angeles

[RBW] Re: Can an 11speed cassette fit on an 8-9-10 hub

I'm with you on that - made some big deals at a bike swap meet just 
yesterday!

But that being said, there's a value to be placed on your time, stress 
level & riding-zen. To my mind, if you can build up a reliable, smoothly 
shifting system with the minimum of fuss for well under $200 new it's 
probably money well spent.

I'm doing a 1x9 on my Platypus with existing parts from a Clem build, 
however I have in the back of my mind that it may end up being a 1x11 
exactly as we're discussing.

[RBW] Re: Dim lighting on SON hub/Edelux II headlight

2021-04-25 Thread Collin A

I'm late to the party, but this is eerily similar to what happened on my 
Partner's AHH when I switched lights to the edelux (after it didn't work as 
well as I'd hoped for trails on my bike)!

Edelux is finicky with tailights in that you need to get the polarity right 
(- on the TL to the flat grounding spade -flat piece with a hole in it- on 
the HL, and then + to +). Ben's test of removing the connections to the TL 
from the HL should help with that, but its key to remove the connections 
from the HL! If that fixes the issue, then you'll need to wire the TL the 
correct way to fix itThis was on the SP hub. Also, I'm sure you checked 
this, but make sure the lights are on the 'always on' setting, could be the 
light sensor is dirty or something.

The noise and extra resistance you mention also occurred on my bike with 
the SON hub, and usually was triggered from a little bit of moisture from 
rain/wet roads seeping into the connection from hub to HL wire. For 
whatever reason, when I installed the fittings I goofed and found there was 
a loose wire and that ended up shorting the circuit from time-to-time and 
was eventually fixed by pulling it apart and reinstalling the connectors 
with a bit more patience. Then sealing it with epoxy before wrapping the 
whole thing in heat shrink. All this to say, it was a poor connection 
between the light and hub that contributed to that resistance (when the 
light was on and connected). Bill's comment about fitting the light to the 
Shimano hub should* also work to separate the light/dynamo issues.

The key with this kind of troubleshooting (as others have mentioned) is to 
test each part by itself as much as you can and then isolate where the 
issues are coming from. And taking notes!

Good luck, I know this can be incredibly frustrating!

Helen, I'm very sorry for your loss.  You're right about this group and the 
many caring, helpful folks who ride Rivendell bikes.  If you would like 
help with the measurements and details of that beautiful bike, I'd be happy 
to come to Bellingham.  I live on south Whidbey, though there might be a 
list member who lives closer to Bellingham.

[RBW] FFS - Greenfield Kickstand

2021-04-25 Thread Huston

Free for Shipping.  Greenfield kickstand (KS2-305).  The kickstand and foot 
are in like new condition.  I did cut the kickstand for a 57cm frame 
running 650b x 42mm tires, so it probably won't work on a larger bike.  
Also includes the short bolt (if your frame has a kickstand plate like most 
modern Rivs).  Here's a link to pic 
.
  
Should fit in a Priority Mail envelope ($8.55).  Send me an email/message 
if you can put this to good use.

Thanks,
Huston

[RBW] Re: Help choosing brake levers for drop bars

2021-04-25 Thread RichS

Hi Paul,

Not as fancy as the TRP levers, but the Shimano Tiagra levers Riv sells 
have worked exceptionally well for me on Noodles. Bear in mind my hand size 
is small so these levers compared with others I've used have been the most 
comfortable.

Good luck in your search.

Best,
Rich in ATL
