[RBW] FS: Velo Orange Randonneur Rack and Suntour shifters

[Ben Adrian]

*Older Velo Orange Randonneur Rack with separate 1" decaleur.*

This shows some wear, but works fine. Mounts with included P clamps or to 
fork braze ons.

Notice, the mount for the brake/fork crown has been cut. Also, it's not a 
diving board style, but rather is welded to the rack frame. Also, I have to 
squeeze the decaleur mount slightly to put the mount onto the receiver. I 
don't know if this is a standard thing or just some weirdness with this 
unit. It's never been a bother for me though. I just want to be fully clear 
of what is being sold.

$80 shipped for the set.


*Suntour Friction Shifters*

In excellent shape. They look super cool to me. True friction; no indexing, 
no power ratchet. I went back to my bar end shifters.

$20 shipped

[RBW] Double Rivendell Models

[Bicycle Belle Ding Ding!]

I got a DM on Instagram from a new Gus owner. He is loving his Gus so much 
he said he might copy my idea and get another, and set them up differently. 
I’ve been emailing with a woman who wonders if getting a Rivendell mixte 
might be worth it since she already has a Clem L. It made me wonder if 
anyone else has had the same idea. 

Also, this is an excuse to give you my unvarnished opinion on the matter.

When I bought a second Platypus, people did not understand. You have *two, 
*they 
would say. I felt stupid admitting it, but I knew it was the right 
decision. I love a Platy. That model fits me so well, I love to ride it, 
and I love the look of it, too. Ok, people will say, but what about 
*variety*? You could get a different bike. True, but I know me. And me is 
guilty of having 7 pairs of jeans but only wearing 3. I have favorites. 

I regret nothing. I ride both of those Platypuses every single week. When 
one is out of commission, I am greatly comforted that I have another. They 
are set up very differently, but I never think, “Oh, I wish this one was 
like that one.” They are different enough that I feel I have variety, but 
familiar to me in form and feel. I love to ride them both. And I never feel 
sheepish when people ask me about why I have two. 

Today, I rode them both, my Pair O’ Platypuses. I started the day running 
errands by bike. The Overkill Shopping Platypus was the perfect choice for 
dropping a package at the post office.. Later, I took my sons on the River 
Trail to do some sightseeing. The Racing Platypus was the perfect choice 
for that. 

Who else has been secretly coveting a duplicate bike? Who else adores their 
Rivendell so much that they just want a second of the exact same model? 
Pics in the next post, so that Google can’t turn them sideways on me…

[RBW] Re: Reading posts with huge photo files embedded in the text

[Patrick Moore]

Thanks, all.

First, yes, I also have suggested attaching instead of embedding huge image
files, but alas to no avail.

I get email via gmail not via website.

As to right-clicking, it's not the image that's the problem, it's the
surrounding text.

And I try reducing the page size but some images are so big that when all
fits onto my 42" wide screen the text is too small to read comfortably.

I've taken to deleting such messages without reading them. Again, high-def
gaming monitor (LG, cost me a cool $1K in 2016 or so.)

[RBW] Re: Reading posts with huge photo files embedded in the text

[Garth]

Yeah Patrick, As George pointed out, just open the images in a new tab, 
that's what I do as viewing images in the messages itself is always wonky. 
I open new windows for darn near all images I view online. I'm using Linux 
Mint and Firefox ESR. I know you've expressed this many times before but I 
never quite knew what you meant, or what you were experiencing exactly. So 
yeah , it's that simple, right click and open in a new window. Tech-no-logy 
for all it's self deluded "ain't I great" , utterly fails in any sort of 
Universal understanding and communicability. F F F failure. Too bad this is 
the "wrong" forum for an epic tech-no-rant !

I use the "Add Attachment" button not "Insert Photo Attachment" and it puts

Patrick - one way to deal with these  images if you're running an Apple OS 
from my experience, is to right-click on the image.  Up will pop a menu 
that allows your to open the image in a new tab.  Then, the image in the 
new tab should display fully within the limits of the monitor's screen 
you're using.  Or, if it doesn't, you should be able to use the 
"Command-minus" keys to reduce the size.  Caveat:  I'm running Google

Re: [RBW] Searching for bike akin to Quickbeam

[Leif Eckstrom]

Brian,
That Trek/Crust conversion sounds awesome. Please post some pictures if 
you're able. Also, does the Spark fork offer clearance for 650b x 48mm, no 
fender? I believe the listing says something like perfect for 38-42mm 
tires. 
Thanks,
Leif in Chicago

Re: [RBW] Re: FS: Sackville Saddlesack Large

[E. Ricky Creek]

Bag is pending. 
Eric, it needs a rack to work. The bag is huge. The distance between the 
rack and the saddle is flexible. If the distance is low then the front 
scrunches up, but it still works fine. Unlike a large Carradice that will 
side sag if it doesn't have enough clearance, this one works fine even 
scrunched. I use this model of bag for all my touring along with a 
handlebar bag. I have done 3 weeks with that setup and nothing else.

[RBW] Re: Reading posts with huge photo files embedded in the text

[Paul Clifton]

Patrick,
I don't think there is anything you can do on your end, but I might see if 
I can figure out a work-around ... Are you reading posts in email or using 
the google groups web page?

The only way I know of to solve the problem is for the poster to do some 
extra leg work formatting the images for sharing.

That's a nice looking bag. How much clearance do you need from seat to tire?

Re: [RBW] Re: Club Rides On A Racing Platypus

[Mike Packard]

This thread is epic. Thank you continuing to share your adventures with us 
Leah.

FWIW: I'm no expert but if there is anyone in Austin TX who would like to 
learn to change a tire I'd be happy to show how I do it. I can provide the 
wheel and tube and tools and stuff so you wouldn't have to mess with your 
own bike. For me the most finicky / difficult parts are getting the very 
first part of the tire off the rim and getting the last part of the tire 
back on the rim; those are where I get the most pinched fingers and am 
worried I'm going to hurt the tire or rim with the tire levers. 

I've never used something like this but I wonder how much it would help.

[RBW] Reading posts with huge photo files embedded in the text

[Patrick Moore]

I have a gaming-quality, 42" monitor (used for work, so I can see 3 Word
docs side by side at 100% or normal magnification from 24-30" away), and
when opening some recent posts with photo files in the text, the text
spreads considerably beyond the limits of this large screen. All images are
at 100%, not expanded.

How can I get these posts entirely onto my screen, so that I don't have to
shift the image from side to side to see it all?

Others don't seem to have this problem.

Thanks.

[RBW] Re: Bars and more bars...

[J S]

I used Albatross for years.  Switched last year to Choco bars and feel 
there is much more room for my hands to roam.  I actually had to order from 
Blue Lug in Japan as Riv was out.  As I ordered 2 bars and maybe something 
else the price with shipping was pretty close.

Re: [RBW] Re: What's your biggest tire on AH Hilsen?

[Sean Cleary]

Thank you Patrick (!) as a big concern is exceeding my Velocity Dyad 
25-38mm limits with proposed 43-45mm tire. Don't want that 
wallowing-off-the-rim feel I sometimes get on my very low pressure mountain 
bike tires. But your experience is vey enlightening. Velocity told me 
to NOT attempt to make rims tubeless either but fascinated with you, 
effectively, throwing that caution into the wind as well! After all, didn't 
tubless-ness originate on non-tubeless rims??

[RBW] FS: Shimano Bar End Shifters, Brake Levers, Derailleurs

[Bob K.]

Hi Everyone,

I used to post often but haven't in quite some time. Hope it's OK that I 
list a few parts for sale. Local pickup (Baltimore) preferred. Prices are 
OBO and do not include shipping (although I am happy to ship at your 
expense). If I'm off on a price, please just let me know. Paypal F/F, 
please.

Pictures found in this Google Drive folder 

.

Thanks for any interest. Please reply off-list. 

Bob K. in Baltimore

Shimano Tiagra Road Levers: Short-pull. Good, not perfect, condition. $30.

Shimano Ultegra Bar End Shifters, 8-Spd (#1): Beat up but still function 
well. Mounts included. $35. 

Shimano Ultegra Bar End Shifters, 8-Spd (#2): Nicer with only a couple 
scuffs. Mounts included. $60. 

Shimano Deore FD-M591: This is a "traditional dual-pull multi-clamp front 
derailleur." I don't remember why I own this, but it sure seems like a 
front derailleur! $15.

Shimano Deore RD-M591: Good shape. It's long-cage and 9-spd. I used it with 
friction levers on a vintage MTB build for a few months. $30.

Re: [RBW] Re: What's your biggest tire on AH Hilsen?

[Patrick Moore]

Just a remark about 38 mm tires on Open Pro rims. If you worry that
38s are too wide for those rims, fear not; I rode 50s on 19 mm rims
(OW) for thousands of miles on rough dirt tracks with absolutely no
problem; and I presently ride 71 mm tires on 24 mm (OW) rims on dirt
tracks (tubeless tires, non-tubeless rims, lotsa tape,13 psi,
sealant); again, no problem. I think that Mavic states a 28 m max
width for one of two reasons: remote liability concerns, or optimum
tire cross-section profile.

And I see that Mavic offers the Open Pro in the 650C/571 bead seat
diameter size; who'd 'a thunk?

Patrick Moore, whose 41 mm Naches Passes have the perfect
cross-section profile on Sun Ringle EQ 21s (21 mm OW).

Re: [RBW] Bars and more bars...

[John Moore]

Thanks Lance. That does seem to be the problem, so many (too many?) choices in 
bars. 

I do ride road and mtn, though probably 80% road thus that desire for something 
with a little drop and having a variety of hand positions. Am narrowing down 
option and albatross is in there.
