Re: [RBW] Searching for bike akin to Quickbeam

[Max S]

Mark, that's very generous of you. If none of our Riv brethren here go 
after it, I may have to. I previously had a 62 SO in dark green that was a 
tad too big, but surprisingly not that much bigger than my 58 cm QB, so the 
60 cm SO may be the Goldilocks. Hmm

Re: [RBW] Re: long wheelbase, Hillibikes + tray racks

[Wally Estrella]

I confirmed yesterday that a GBW will fit just fine in a 1-Up rack.  The 
wheelbase is about 53 inches on Gus.  The length of the rail on 1-Up is 54" 
which is what 1-Up states as max wheelbase.  The Equip-D says it can take a 
56" wheelbase.

Re: [RBW] Hillibikes are so close!

[Daniel MacPherson]

700cc tires. 2.3 inches  G-One Speed Light Tires. Very little tread so they 
are quick. 

So far I love the feel of the bike (very comfy). It feels surprisingly 
light given its length and steel nature. My only issue is some 
self-steering issues while turning, but I don't know if that's due to 
headset issues, the design of the bike, or the tires. Anyone else 
experience these issues ? 

Sincerely,

[RBW] Re: Wheel building, 36 into 32: in case it's of interest to non-i-Bob-list-members.

[Kevin Reinking]

I'm guessing you were joking, but those painted rims would probably be a 
poor choice for a rim brake bike; intended for disc. really

I've often wondered about the possibility of a 32 hole rim with 36 hole 
hub; figured it could be done, but I've always been able to adapt or come 
up with an alternative to that. I am guessing that it probably depends a 
lot on the type or rim used, likely one with minimal offset at the spoke 
holes.

no issues on my Gus for self-steering.  I was riding no-hands on straights 
and even into a few gradual corners.

[RBW] Re: Double Rivendell Models

[Kevin Reinking]

I had 4 Rivendells at one time: two of those were Clementine's. Rosco Was 
stolen, Sold the Atlantis and the larger Clementine, but I still have a 
small Clementine which I can ride, because I'm somewhat between a med and a 
small anywayz, I originally bought it for my daughter, but she hasn't 
learned to ride yet, doesn't want to learn and I'm afraid she won't get big 
enough to ride it so, that one may be headed out as well. :0(

Re: [RBW] Hillibikes are so close!

[Paul Clifton]

Daniel,
I haven't had any self-steer on my Gus yet, but on my Baby Bike with 2.3" 
Big Ones, self steer was always when the tires were under-inflated. There's 
a sweet spot on those tires, but they're so big a plush that it's easy to 
ride them a little too low. I'd give them 5 more PSI and see how that feels 
(if the headset seems allright ...).

[RBW] Re: Supernova E3 pro2...but dont want to run the rear light?

[Pam Bikes]

I'm not sure why you don't want to wire the rear taillight.  Super easy.  
Takes 5 min and some zip ties.  I love it.  Never have to worry about any 
lights or recharging.  I run the wire along the underside of the frame and 
up the rack.  You never see it.  I'm not mechanically inclined and I can do 
it.  So you can too.  Always on too so I'll never forget to turn it on or 
off.  But whatever makes you happy.

Re: [RBW] Hillibikes are so close!

[Joe Bernard]

This, and also per my brief dalliance with a Susie..the front end has a 
slack angle for trail riding which can feel a bit floppy if you're used to 
more road-oriented Rivs.

Hi Deepak,
I've sent you an email.
What length arms are the cranks? (This number will be stamped into the back 
of each arm.)
Thanks much,

Re: [RBW] Re: Wheel building, 36 into 32: in case it's of interest to non-i-Bob-list-members.

[Patrick Moore]

This just in: In another thread on the iboblist, someone called Velocity
and confirmed that Velocity is willing to drill 36 holes in their A23 rim.
The context was 559/26" rims, but I daresay if they'll do it for one rim
they'll do it for another. Can't vouch for eyeballs.

Re: [RBW] Re: Wheel building, 36 into 32: in case it's of interest to non-i-Bob-list-members.

[Ryan]

They would indeed! and not just because of the color scheme. I'm thinking 
of Leah's new riding buddies...eyes agog when she first rocked that racing 
Platypus😊 Those rims make a statement allright. 

They'd look nice on her blue Clem as wellbut not sure how long they'd 
last with rim brakes. Fun rims though

[RBW] Re: Supernova E3 pro2...but dont want to run the rear light?

[Ginz]

Coil up the extra wire, zip tie it to the other wire, anything it takes to 
just hide it.  And, like the others said, tape the two conductors so they 
cannot ever touch each other.

You never know if you'll want to use it in the future.  Maybe you won't 
like the light and want to sell it. Or, maybe you'll decide to run a rear 
light because they barely weigh anything!

I have the original E3 and my only complaint is that they don't have a 
fender mounted tail light.  I thought I saw a fender mount accessory at 
some point but I could never find it again. Maybe I imagined it.

 Lighting is one area that completely baffles me. Well, anything

 Here's what I have on hand to work with. SP SV-8 front hub, Supernova 
 E3 2 pro front light, Nitto rack or equivalent, rechargeable rear LED of 
 some sort. Fork has provisions for internal wiring hub to light, frame has 
 no considerations.

 Most of my riding is during daylight. When I need a light, it will 
 primarily be off road and for purposes of seeing, not being seen. I have 
 several extremely capable rechargeable rear lights for use when needed, so 
 I don't want to permanently route cables to the back of the bike. That 
 said, the E3 light has dedicated rear wiring I need to deal with. Can the 
 rear wires be "unplugged" or are they soldered in? I don't want to ruin 
 the 
 light by clipping them off. I know they're not absolutely needed for the 
 front to operate since I've never had a rear light attached and it worked 
 great.

 Any better wisdom on dealing with the wiring? Am I better off ditching 
 the E3 and going with a "simpler" front only model? If that's the case, 
 any 
 recommendations for something that would suit the need, preferably in 
 silver?
