Re: [RBW] Re: The Doctor Who Cycled Around the World

[Joe Bernard]

Prologue done, he's an interesting writer. There's a breeziness to his 
style - a momentum - which is instantly inviting. An example, this refers 
to his first bike trip with his brother in Chile:

"We chose routes with impulsive pleasure and we ate like escaped prisoners 
of war. Mountains rose and fell and there was an abiding sensation of being 
dwarfed by the landscape, as if we were animals filmed from above in a 
wildlife documentary."

I also learned that hotchpotch is a word (or he invented it) and medical 
stuff I don't understand is much more interesting than I expected. Oh, 
there's stuff about riding, too 😬

Thanks for finding this for us, Leah!

Re: [RBW] Re: Brevets on Rivs -- 2021 Dillon Beach 200k.

[Toshi Takeuchi]

Good to see you Bill!  It was a beautiful day and the only issue I had with
my small Roadeo is that there isn't much seat to tire clearance (compared
to my 650b).  I usually ride with my Mark's wrap, but thought I might need
extra space, so I swapped bags with the Banana Sack. I thought there was
enough clearance, but things shifted in the bag a bit and with some up and
down motion, it was rubbing on my rear wheel. I ended up cinching the bag
up with an Irish Strap. Duct tape would have done the job too, but the
Irish strap is much prettier!

Bill was speeding along and I got to talk with him because he was stopped
in the road waiting for some tree trimmers to open up the lane.  He might
have gotten his best time without that delay.  I had my best time on a 200k
ever at 8:43.  The beautiful tail wind down the Pacific Coast Highway
helped!

[RBW] Re: Seeking derailer recs for a Hillborne build.

[Eric Marth]

Thanks again for the recs, I like that Microshift derailer and the Ultegra 
suggestions. I also like the Sun XCD/Microshift rear but can't find any new 
or used. 

Purchased a used Ultegra for the front and now seeking one for the rear!

[RBW] Re: September 10 Blahg, drive train gearing development

[Joe Bernard]

I think part of what Grant's getting at is that all derailer drivetrains 
will be electronic in 10 years and the only mechanical ones will be 
hub-gear. Or that's how I see the future so I extrapolated it from his 
words.

[RBW] Re: September 10 Blahg, drive train gearing development

[dougP]

Shimano has already patented an internal gearbox system.  It's quite 
clever.  Two cassettes with a chain connecting them & a derailer.  It looks 
like intended for bottom bracket mount, not hub.  It would force frame 
makers to design around their system.  Quite Shimano.  

I read about it some time ago & don't remember where.  The author described 
the system from what he could figure out in the patent.  A google search 
will probably locate it.

Yep, that's the guy.  Quite an adventure.  Seems odd to have worn out 5 
Rohloff hubs but they were seeing a lot of abuse.  Off to order the book.

Thanks for posting.  I'd wondered what happened to the guy.

[RBW] Re: The Doctor Who Cycled Around the World

[dougP]

We saw a presentation at REI several years ago from (probably) that same 
Dr.  He was raising funds for tropical disease research that Big Pharma 
wasn't interested in:  no money as the countries where these diseases are a 
problem are all poor.  

He had lots of great stories.  In one area of Africa, he said when he 
passed the same dead goat twice he knew he was lost.  When we saw him in 
SoCal, he was on I believe his 3rd tent, and he had a set of Ortleibs where 
most of coating had worn off.  He had a new set waiting for him in the Bay 
Area, & made it sound like "I'll just pop up there & get them".  

I'll have to check out those links.  I always wondered if he made it.  He 
had some pretty dodgy adventures.

[RBW] Riv BB&H memories

[Dan McNamara]

Making room in my daughter’s bookshelf for incoming 4th grade type books and 
came across this in a copy of “Little Bear’s Friend”. 

I do miss that kind of interaction with Grant. Went to knot tying classes, took 
my daughter to book readings, flipped Dylan records over on the turntable. And 
tested out a few hatchets.

[RBW] The Doctor Who Cycled Around the World

[Bicycle Belle Ding Ding!]

I was listening to a podcast episode on The Moth. At the end of the show, a 
bonus story was featured. It was told by Steven Fabes, an ER doc who hailed 
from London, who had hatched an ill-formed plan to cycle around the world. 
He quits his job, buys a shiny new bicycle, and waves goodbye to 100 of his 
closest friends and family on the steps of his old hospital. He makes it as 
far as his favorite pub before he realizes he’s made a terrible mistake. 
And that’s all I’ll say. He was so engaging and so hilarious that I tracked 
him down online and found his website. His book detailing his travels is 
called Signs of Life, and you can get it on Amazon (ebook for me!). 

If you have a little wanderlust yourself (me!), you love bikes (ooh, me!) 
and you are interested in medicine (also me!) you might enjoy his book or 
at least reading an article about his journey.

[RBW] Re: Introducing the Charlie H Gallop Protovelo

Beautiful build, and I am supremely jealous. The crew knows that if they 
decide to sell the grivler 53, they've got a buyer in me. I love how low 
and long it is, like a scrawny Hillibike. That would be a pretty optimal 
two-bike quiver; this and a matching Susie.

[RBW] September 10 Blahg, drive train gearing development

[Patrick Moore]

Grant spoke of * the SRAM-SHIMANO cogs race that, you should know, is
going to culminate in an internal drive train that will be the end of the
obvious mechanical bicycle in..ten years?*

I like Grant's preference for simplicity, but I also think that there are
huge undeveloped possibilities in hub gear drivetrains that will re-connect
us with an ancient line of  drivetrain development that started
commercially in the 1880s -- there were earlier experiments -- and that
Sturmey Archer continued with its dozens of models until the 1950s.

Since then, development has been aimed at the utility market, except for
Rohloff, but I think there are great possiblities for better designed and
better made hub gears with more intelligent gear spreads and greater
reliability and lower drag.

Note that IVT claims 97% efficiency for its CVT hub gear.

Patrick Moore, who expects a Sturmey Archer TC in the mail on Tuesday (2
speed fixed with direct high and 86.54% underdrive, 76" and 66"), and who
also has AMs (3 speed freewheel: 111.5% overdrive, direct, 86.54%
underdrive, 72-65-56) and a TF (2 speed fixed, direct and 75% underdrive,
72", 54").



that more or less dead-ended in the 1960s, with some exceptions like
Rohloff and Nuvinci

Re: [RBW] Re: For sale 53cm Rivendell Frank Jones Sr

[amillhench]

Having travelled the western states through wildfire and dust storms, I am back 
in Texas, and this bike is ready for its new owner to come forward.

Reduction to $2000.00 and we’ll split actual packing and shipping.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you!

Best,

Aaron

 Hello all!
 
 I’ve got my FJS up for sale. You may have seen that I bought it under the 
 pretense that it was a 55cm. Alas, it’s a 53cm. Full geometry is on the 
 blug/blahg/blog, but Riv advises this is for PBHs of 79.5 to 83. 
 
 Currently set up with a Sugino crank Wolftooth/Willow 40/32 (Phil BB) and 
 a White Industries 16t freewheel and Surly 18t fixed cog on Velocity A23 
 rims laced to formula (origin8) hubs. Low mileage Gravelking SS+ 35s. 
 
 Velo Orange 80mm stem, Nitto B115 45cm bars, newbaums, TRP levers with new 
 Ultegra cables and housing. Brakes are Tektro 556. 
 
 Nitto S83 seat post with a Brooks Pro. Pedals not included. 
 
 Chain has 20 miles on it. 
 
 This was my first time riding a long chainstay Riv. I’m a fan. It feels 
 just as nimble on the street and trail. I believe 3 of these were made in 
 this color and size.
 
 Price is $2300 shipped obo. Photos at

 Please let me know if you have any questions.
 
 Thank you!

[RBW] Re: FS: 26x2" Schwalbe Marathon Winter Studded Snow Tires.

[ascpgh]

Michael said in closing: "Perfect for your Trash Bike or backup 90s' 
commuter."

Or as Anton of Velo Lumino  has said in the 
past (even perhaps another's quote), that your winter bike is your 
 "sacrificial anode".
