Hi!

I am hoping one of you fine folks might have an extra one of these stems 
laying around in your parts bin. 

https://www.rivbike.com/products/stem-kajnlkhmgn5646?variant=31461540462703

Looking to acquire one for my Sam :)

Feel free to reach out in the thread or direct.

Much appreciated!

Re: [RBW] Re: Phone holder preferences - Quad Lock Sale

2021-11-15 Thread 'Hetchins52' via RBW Owners Bunch
For those of you interested (Quad Lock Curious), I balked at the price of 
the QL and accessories for a few years then got one on a Black Friday Sale 
last year. 
Really good system; I like it.
That time is here again: Black Friday (early) and they've sent out the 
notice of 30% off:
Check out https://www.quadlockcase.com/
BTW, the little kickstand/finger loop accessory (that you might not notice 
on the site) has been very useful to me. The bump/socket on the back 
otherwise destabilizes the case when you set the phone down on a flat 
surface.

Re: [RBW] Weird (Silver bar end/friction/Shimano 9sp) shifting issue

2021-11-15 Thread Joe Bernard
This is the part where I annoy everybody..I dislike those shifters. 9-speed 
Shimano uses clicks in the back that work great (plus friction option), and 
the front friction shifter doesn't loosen up. Easy!

  My shifters only tend to loosen with large shifts in climates, usually

 Hi everyone,

 I am enjoying my brand spanking new Joe Appaloosa built up by 
 Rivendell. Had it for about 6 weeks or so, I have put maybe 75 miles or so 
 on it, most of them from the Nutmeg Nor'easter ride a couple of weekends 
 ago, which was a wonderful 40 mile ride, Joe's maiden voyage I'd say.

 Yesterday I was going for a short 6 mile ride and noticed that rear 
 shifting was weird. I was able to shift from largest to next largest cog 
 of 
 the cassette, no problem, but as soon as I'd try to shift to the next 
 largest cog (3rd from largest), it's as though the shifter took over and 
 would shift all the way to the smallest cog. I'd then try to shift up one 
 cog, but the shifter was resistant to light force, the amount of force 
 that 
 would typically shift up a gear.. If I tried to shift all the way back to 
 the largest cog this would work. I have a triple up front, I tested out 
 rear shifting in each of the front positions with the same results each 
 time.

 I searched this group and the internet a bit, and it doesn't seem like 
 ghost shifting exactly, it's not skipping or shifting a single gear on its 
 own. It is ghost-like though in that it is shifting from 3rd largest all 
 the way to the smallest cog on its own. I'm unsure if this is a Silver 
 shifter issue (tighten the bolt?) or a derailleur issue (adjust some 
 things).

 I plan to call Rivendell this week, but figured I'd tap the collective 
 knowledge and experience of this group in the meantime.

 Any thoughts or tips?

 Thanks!

 Adam

Re: [RBW] Weird (Silver bar end/friction/Shimano 9sp) shifting issue

2021-11-15 Thread 'Eric Norris' via RBW Owners Bunch
Back in the day when everything was friction shifting, you could tell if your 
frame had more than normal flex in it because the D-rings would need to be 
snugged down more frequently as the frame tugged at the cables.

As others have said, most friction systems are set-and-forget. You’ll know if 
the D-rings need to be tightened, and then it takes about two seconds to do 
that.

My experience is they need to be snugged up every now and then. After a 
while you'll be able to tell as soon as you nudge the D-ring before a ride 
that it's time.

[RBW] NBD: Clem L

2021-11-15 Thread Doug H.
I received my Clem L complete today and spent my lunch hour unpacking it 
and getting it ready to ride. I must say that the packing was the most 
thorough I have seen! Thank you Rivendell! Also included was The Ultimate 
Bicycle Owner's Manual by Eben Weiss (aka Bike Snob) and that too is much 
appreciated. I enjoy books about riding bicycles the way I ride, the Just 
Ride way. I hope to get a nice ride in this weekend and take some photos of 
it.

[RBW] Our own Joe B. on a ride with Henry Wildeberry

2021-11-15 Thread Berkeleyan
This was a fun one to watch... great to see Joe's solidly flexible approach 
to gear and components. Not as much riding as most Wildeberry videos, but 
entertaining all the same.

Large pedals gets two thumbs up from me.

I have a pair of the Black Kats on my Gus and will be swapping them for the

2021-11-15 Thread Greg J
Like any screw, it will loosen over time, but for the most part, it should 
be set and forget for a good long time.  Especially if you use locktite or 
beeswax on the threads.  (Although I have had one set of screws and a frame 
where it would loosen frequently, which I attribute to bigger tolerances 
between the frame threads and the shifter screws, but that isn't the case 
here since you're using modern parts.)

D-ring, yes. I'll give it a shot, thanks for the tip. This is my first time 
using friction shifting on a bicycle so it's all new to me!

Does that d-ring / tension tend to need regular attention or does it just 
need to be dialed initially and then get on with it and forget about it?

[RBW] Weird (Silver bar end/friction/Shimano 9sp) shifting issue

2021-11-15 Thread Adam Smith
Hi everyone,

I am enjoying my brand spanking new Joe Appaloosa built up by Rivendell. 
Had it for about 6 weeks or so, I have put maybe 75 miles or so on it, most 
of them from the Nutmeg Nor'easter ride a couple of weekends ago, which was 
a wonderful 40 mile ride, Joe's maiden voyage I'd say.

Yesterday I was going for a short 6 mile ride and noticed that rear 
shifting was weird. I was able to shift from largest to next largest cog of 
the cassette, no problem, but as soon as I'd try to shift to the next 
largest cog (3rd from largest), it's as though the shifter took over and 
would shift all the way to the smallest cog. I'd then try to shift up one 
cog, but the shifter was resistant to light force, the amount of force that 
would typically shift up a gear.. If I tried to shift all the way back to 
the largest cog this would work. I have a triple up front, I tested out 
rear shifting in each of the front positions with the same results each 
time.

I searched this group and the internet a bit, and it doesn't seem like 
ghost shifting exactly, it's not skipping or shifting a single gear on its 
own. It is ghost-like though in that it is shifting from 3rd largest all 
the way to the smallest cog on its own. I'm unsure if this is a Silver 
shifter issue (tighten the bolt?) or a derailleur issue (adjust some 
things).

I plan to call Rivendell this week, but figured I'd tap the collective 
knowledge and experience of this group in the meantime.

Any thoughts or tips?

Thanks!

Adam

[RBW] WTB: Nitto HiRiser Threadless Stem 135mm

2021-11-15 Thread CapNMike
Hello,
I am looking for a Nitto HiRiser Threadless Stem (CR 61) in 135mm length 
for handlebar conversion on a tandem and Riv has been sold out of all but 
the shortest lengths for some time. Is there a chance that someone has one 
that they are not using and would be willing to sell?

Long shot here but would alternatively be interested in the Tosco Bullmoose 
style handle bar as this would eliminate need for a stem,

Thanks all,

At school in the early 1960s I can remember our music teacher playing us 
Act 2 of Tristan and Isolde on 78s. Rather spoilt the flow of the opera, 
though, when he had to leap up and change the disc every four or five 
minutes.
