Congrats! Any plans on changing the build or just ride as is? I do love a
turn-key used bike.

[RBW] WTB Brake Levers

[KC]

Due to some stupid mix-up I have only 1 brake lever for my bike so I need 
to get a new set and that's not easy right now. I am hoping someone has 
some they will part with. Bike is a 50cm Cheviot with Tektro R559 Brakes. 
Anyone have anything that will work for me? Thanks.

Re: [RBW] Re: Roof-topping a Clem L

[Tim Rogers]

Since starting this thread last March, I acquired a double 1Up and it works 
great. I have no problem mounting my 59cm Clem L and my wife's Gazelle 
e-bike. The the 1Up fender cushion is the answer for fendered bikes. I have 
one cushion installed for the rear fender of her bike ... the Gazelle's 
front fender is short enough that the 1Up locking arm contacts the tire. No 
fenders on my Clem. It's kind of a trip to mount bikes on a rack with no 
center arm support, but once locked in they are solid and not going 
anywhere. The rack is extremely well made, BTW.

[RBW] Re: Yet another round of name that sound

[M D Smith]

I had a similar creaking/clicking sound recently.  I went so far as 
replacing my pedals after repacking the bearings (my initial assumption of 
the culprit,) yet the creak remained.

I then decided to replace the bottom bracket.  I had a spare, after all, 
but was putting off dealing with it out of laziness, basically.  Well, 
after digging myself out of that gumption trap I pulled the cranks and went 
to remove the NDS retainer (this is a Shimano UN-xx with the plastic 
retainer) and, sure enough, it was a tad bit loose.  Not so much that I 
could feel any play, but I was able to tighten it about 3/4 to one turn.  I 
put my spare back in the box, reaffixed the cranks, and nary a creak, 
crack, or click since.  You specifically mention that you haven’t tightened 
the bb.  I’ll bet you a beer that’s the source, and I would certainly 
recommend snugging it up, regardless.

Good luck and let us know what you find.

Cheers- Mike in Somerville, Mass

[RBW] Re: FS: Bikes on eBay, CraigsLIst, and Other Sites

[Scott Calhoun]

I had some credit and took a flyer on this one. I've wanted a Roadeo for 
many years. This one is an odd case, as TCP is calling it both a "Custom" 
and a "Roadeo." Vince at Riv HQ suggested that it could be from the time 
period when they weren't offering Roadeos per se? I called and got the 
serial number from TPC and it begins with MN, so Mark Nobilette built. From 
the geometry details they do list, it lines up with 63cm Rivendell Roadeo 
geometry from ~2017 or so. I'm going to see if Nobilette has any additional 
info about it. In any case, the TT length and Standover look very similar 
if not identical to my current 64cm Quickbeam, and former 64cm Ram, so I'm 
not worried about the fit.

[RBW] Re: WTB: 31.8 Faceplater Style Quill Stem

[Jared Wilson]

Joe,

I'll keep it on the back burner for now, I also have a black one I'm trying 
to keep it as part of a complete cockpit but might use initially to check 
fitment.

I did however visit Analog's site per your recommendation and didn't see 
anything in 10cm+ options, but they do have very cute 0cm and 30cm options.

Hi Bill,

For some reason google didn't subscribe me to this posting like usual so I 
didn't know there were replies. I tried to respond to you directly so to 
not bump the thread a couple days ago but I hadn't heard back and I don't 
have anything in my outbox. Maybe I'm doing this wrong? Anyway, I'm not 
picky on color to answer your question. Feel free to respond directly so 
the post doesn't keep getting bumped if you wish.

[RBW] Re: Hub Identification Help

[Garth]

I'm quite familiar with Sansin/Suntour/Specialized cartridge bearing hubs 
and by that photo it doesn't appear to be one of those. What gives me pause 
is the silver nut right next to the cartridge bearing, the hubs I have use 
a black bearing mount that takes a thin cone wrench.The construction of the 
axle parts is much the same as cup/cone bearings, with the nut is at the 
end of the axle. 

The silver nut position reminds me of how Quando hubs are made.

[RBW] Re: Yet another round of name that sound

[Garth]

Don't the 3 largest cogs exert the most torque on the freehub ? (I'm 
assuming you mean like a 24,28 etc) So could the sound be the cassette cogs 
moving against themselves or the freehub body ?

[RBW] Re: Yet another round of name that sound

[Bill Lindsay]

It is my opinion that the riveted-together sub-assemblies in Shimano 
cassettes can indeed be kind of creaky.  I concur with Joe Bernard that it 
makes sense that the gears with a greater chain-angle could be more 
susceptible to this kind of thing.  I imagine that it could be the steel 
cog creaking against the aluminum carrier to which it is riveted.  I 
imagine it could also be the interface between the first three cog 
sub-cluster rubbing against the second three cog sub-cluster.  

If that's what it is, removing and reinstalling the cassette itself may not 
change anything.  Generally, when I want to isolate the exact location of a 
sound, I swap things out one at a time.  If I suspect it may be the pedals, 
ride the bike with different pedals.  If the noise stays the same, it 
wasn't the pedals, etc.  To test/confirm your sound is located in the rear 
wheel, swap 11-sp rear wheels with some other bike, if you can.  

I have a couple of bikes that do this also, but like you haven't gotten 
around to every possible experiment.  When my bike makes a sound I don't 
like, my obsession with quieting it subsides when I know my bike is 100% 
mechanically sound.  I'll tolerate a noise that I'm confident is not 
indicative of some significant problem.  If the riveted together 
sub-clusters can click, as I suspect they can, it may be fixable with lube, 
or replacement.

You'll have more bend in the chain in those big cogs so you might be 
getting some noise from a worn chain/cassette. How many miles approximately 
do you have on those parts?

[RBW] Re: Yet another round of name that sound

[Brett Callahan]

This is going to sound crazy, but is it the saddle, seatpost, or their 
interface? That's happened to me more than once, and I've chased sounds 
that I'm sure are bottom bracket, crank, or cassette related only to 
discover that in certain gears or at certain effort levels, my saddle is 
clicking. (In fact, this is happening with a Berthoud on my NFE at the 
moment. It only clicks when I shift my weight and ride upright at low 
cadence). 

Just a thought...

 saddle moved all the way back and yet it feels like my knees are too far

 better, bell, and rear rack.

 Roberta, does your Platypus ride much different than the AHH?

[RBW] Yet another round of name that sound

[David Wadstrup]

We've played this game before, and I'm reluctant to begin another round. 
 But after a fruitless deep dive into a general internet search trying to 
identify the source of my sound, I thought bringing up my issue here might 
be of help.  Here goes

I am the proud owner of a beautiful, creamsicle colored Roadeo that I 
purchased from a fellow list member here a couple of years ago.  I 
purchased only the frameset, and built up it up myself.  A short while ago 
I began to notice a creaking, clicking, cracking-type sound when climbing 
steep-ish hills.  I loosened and re-tightened just about everything(except 
the bottom bracket) in an attempt to fix whatever the source of the sound 
might be.  No luck.  While out on a ride yesterday, I noticed that the 
sound was apparently getting worse.  I started to fear that there was maybe 
a crack somewhere in the frame, and made a plan to remove the crank and 
re-install the BB to eliminate it as a possible source(which I ended up not 
doing.)  But further into the ride, I happened to discover that the sound 
only occurs when I am in one of the 3 largest cogs on the cassette.  I made 
about 7 or 8 trips up and down one of the steeper hills on my route, and 
was able to confirm that it did not happen in the 4th, or 5th, or any other 
cog in back -- just the 3 largest.  

For clarification, I am running a Shimano 11sp Ultegra group.  The sound is 
NOT regular.  Meaning that it doesn't occur in the same place in either my 
wheel's or crank's rotation. It happens both when seated and while I am out 
of the saddle. It is more of a cracking, creaking, sound rather than a 
clicking sound(although it does sound clicky,) if that makes any sense.  It 
sounds like what I'd imagine a a cracked something-or-other to sound like.

I suppose I'll remove and reinstall the cassette when I get a chance, but 
figured I reach out to you all to see whether anyone has an inkling of what 
the trouble might be.  Please let me know your thoughts!

Thanks!

Rad bike, Kushan, and congrats! 

I don't have any experience hacking an HPX4 but maybe you could add some 
felt washers to the piston between the handle and the main frame body to 
effectively add to the overall length of the pump when compressed.
