[Kiley]

Thank you! I won the right-to-buy lottery too but decided I didn’t want this 
version, but a vintage one, preferably orange. MSRP is a bit painful right now…

[RBW] Re: Clem Smith Jr Update

[Doug H.]

I put a generous amount on the threads of the shifter bolt (I fully removed 
the bolt), the one with the d-ring head. I put the bike in my stand and 
adjusted the shifter to the desired tightness and let it sit for a day to 
dry. I think the tightness is a personal preference once there is enough 
tension to hold the cable in place. Tighter make the shifter harder to move 
so for me just tight enough to hold the cable is enough. I do wonder if the 
Loctite will be rendered useless if I re-adjust the tension. Anyone have 
experience to share?

[RBW] Re: Clem Smith Jr Update

[J J]

Thanks, Doug. Great to hear! 

Forgive me for asking what might be obvious: where exactly did you apply 
the Loctite? And how did you gauge the degree of tightness when you screwed 
the shifter back together? 

Thanks again.

Re: [RBW] Re: Erik's new Gus. Questions.

[Ryan Frahm]

Close! Well, Waltworks would be my next suggestion then. He is known for 
making narrow Q work with multiple tire sizes. Can’t wait to see what you 
end up with!

Side note, I did some riding around ABQ trails last thanksgiving. What an 
amazing area to ride! I had a blast with the limited time I had there 
between the family stuff. Didn’t even notice all the cactus needles in my 
tires till I got home! I really can’t imagine not being tubeless.

Ryan: Thank you! Perhaps this might work. 26 X 4 or 622 X 3. There's this
for minimum 2 mm crank clearance per side:

But:
Crank clearance Chainstay width is 140mm, crank arms must have 144mm inner
width, 24mm spindle recommended
That leaves 16 mm total or 8 mm per arm for arm thickness. The WI Eno crank
is with the Monocog at the LBS, but my Logic crank arms are 13.13 mm wide,
and my TA Pro 5 Vis arms are 14.54 mm wide.

Let's say 26.5 mm: 144 + 26.5 mm (I know that 0.5 mm don't mean a thing
practically) = over 170 -- well beyond the 160 mm limit to my Q factor
comfort.

Oh well ...

Still, interesting to see that 26X4 and 28X3 are given as suitable
alternatives.

[RBW] Re: Clem Smith Jr Update

[Doug H.]

Hello all,
I pulled the shifter bolt and applied blue Loctite thread-locker, 
reinstalled, and let it dry for a day. I've ridden three times since then 
and haven't experienced any slippage. With this fix the Silver2 shifter is 
great! Friction shifting is working well for me.

Tumbleweed Prospector frame? Then you’d be able to play around with the 
tire sizes! And selfishly, I get to see another sweet prospector build. 
Haha!

[RBW] Re: Suggestions for smallest-possible reading glasses or monocle

[Patrick Moore]

Thanks McKenzy, Andrew and [?]. Monocles seem to be the solution. Since
getting cataract surgery (plastic lenses) in both eyes some 8-9 years ago
now, after 40+ years of dealing with strong myopia and astigmatism, I'm too
happy with my 20/20 to 20/40 in-bright-Georgia-O'Keefe-level-NM-sunlight
vision to want to hassle with distance-correcting lenses while riding. (I
can see fine for bike riding at night as well as in daytime, but for
driving I need slight help at night and keep a pair of driving glasses in
the car for after sundown).

I don't get a "can't do it" message unless I try to send more than 25 MB.
How big are your files?

And puh *leeze,* all y'all, *attach* big picture files instead of pasting
them into the body, which makes the text extend horribly beyond the width

Re: [RBW] Re: Erik's new Gus. Questions.

[Patrick Moore]

One more non-variable: a single 65" gear that is high enough to prevent
making flatland, hard-surface cruising with 175 mm cranks hateful, but low
enough (with the tires described) to make even shorter stretches of 4"
sand, as well as the shorter hills, rideable, with effort.

Re: [RBW] Re: Erik's new Gus. Questions.

[Patrick Moore]

Ryan and Hotch: Thanks, but a 3" tire, or rather rims and frame that allow
full 3" plumpness of my WTB Rangers, labeled 3", is not a variable; I've
long since worked out what I want, which is not a sand bike but a
sand-capable all-rounder.

IME, which is extensive enough to make a considered judgment, the current
71 mm/2.8" at 13-15 floats better over such sand as pictured than 61 mm at
18-20, which in turn is better than 50 mm at 21-23 psi. And I want a tire
that is not entirely disheartening on pavement.

OTOH, if I can find or commission a frame that with a ss drivetrain lets me
use a 26 X 4" tire with a Q factor =/< 160 mm, and a 26 X 4" tire weighing
less than 700 grams, I'll take them both, seriously; but I expect neither
is possible. I'll be happy to be shown wrong.

(Sorry, Tarik.)

That sand was the worst, or almost the worst I ride in (there are a few
patches deeper or longer which require me to walk, but I rarely ride on
those stretches).

A 3" 700C tire at 13 psi or so is, for my all rounder but sand-biased
riding needs, a good compromise, just as the earlier Matthews with 61 mm
(450 gram) Big Ones is an excellent pavement biased bike that can handle 3"
sand, perhaps even that pictured if I use the small-ring gears. The Monocog
replacement would also be a more "just get on and ride" bike that I can use
to "walk" the dog with -- tho I use all my freewheel bikes for this purpose
on the appropriate terrains.

 And I would prefer disc brakes, tho' that's not a deal breaker.

 Also, any Monocog replacement would be a single speed, or perhaps use a

 The dealbreaker tho' is 76 mm tires with 5 mm clearance on each side,

 Garth, I find that an extra cm of width and corresponding 5 psi or so
 drop in pressure makes a huge difference when negotiating sand. 60 mm at 19
 psi is much better than 50 mm at 23 psi, but 71-2 mm at 13-15 psi is even

 cockpit. Pics are here:

 Nitto Tallux stem with 120mm reach (retail $84)
 SunRace V-brake levers (retail ~$25)
 MicroShift 9-speed thumb shifters (retail $60)
 Newbaums + felt bar wrap wrapped by Grant himself ($priceless)
 
 Asking $230 shipped anywhere in the US, or local pick up in the

[RBW] Re: Grant's new Big Clem

[Garth]

It's 7-speed spacing Joe. I can tell from the side view, and all 7-speed 
cassettes in general on 8-10sp bodies require a 4mm spacer, hence why those 
keyed spacers are made by Problem Solvers, for example, among many.

Also, S-Ride's 7-speed cassettes are configured by leaving off one cog from 
their existing 8-speed versions. 
For example, their 11-42 8sp cassette has 11,13,16,20,24,30,36,42 cogs. 
>From this one cassette they leave off a high or low end cog to arrive at 
their 7sp 13-42 and 11-36. The 7sp 13-34 is their 8sp 11-34 minus the 11. 
https://www.s-ridebike.com/uploads/1/3/8/0/13808747/cassette-tablerev4_orig.jpg
Yes, the table doesn't show the Riv versions based on the 8sp 11-42 and 
11-34. Riv must have asked to have it reconfigured from S-Ride. No new 
parts needed to be made of course, just leaving off one cog high or low and 
presto magico !  

Myself I've been riding a 9sp 12-36 on my Bombadil with a triple crank and 
only use the seven cog 14-32 portion. The innermost cog represent to me, 
what's wonky with the whole idea of cassette hubs when they went from 7sp 
bodies to 8, the further you go to the hub center the greater the chain 
angle. That cog is also closer to the spokes. Even with a 45-46mm chainline 
crank in the middle ring the large ring feels wonky, to me at least. Wider 
chainlines obviously only add to that.  So rather than remove the cog I 
simply "let" the 36 be a spoke guard, so to speak and adjust the RD to the 
32. I'm fluent in "front derailleur" so shifting up and down rings is 
toally natural and effortless.

Something has to give with hub design, they can't keep going towards the 
center, and while they may make chains even more narrow, you're still 
trying to bail out a sinking ship. Stuff that works like 7-speed hubs 
needn't be tossed aside in the name of "progress" or "innovation" as those 
are just sales pitches to get you toss perfectly good working parts. In 
perfection there is no "progress" ! That why Perfect is Perfect and what's 
not is not... "never shall the two meet".
