I went and measured the stack and reach on both bikes. Turns out my touring 
bike actually has a higher stack (71.8cm measured from BB to handlebar 
hood) and reach (45cm measured from BB to handlebar stem center), while the 
Roadini had 68.58cm and 41.91cm on both of those measurements. What is 
significant is that the BB height on the touring bike is 10.5" while the BB 
height on the Roadini is 11", which is a 1.3cm difference. I guess I can 
definitely feel a 13mm difference in center of gravity shift, 5mm of which 
is accounted for by the BB drop difference, and then other 8mm is accounted 
for by the bigger tires (which is strange since the difference between 
tires is basically going from 25mm to 30mm tires, but 3mm difference might 
be within the margin of error)

[RBW] Re: DUB Eagle crankset on a Rivendell?

[a spen]

Hi Michael,

I can address the part of your query 

--I was wondering if anyone has a SRAM DUB crankset or any other 
direct-mount crankset on their Rivendell. I've been reading about the DUB 
cranks and they seem actually simpler with fewer parts than a traditional 5 
bolt crankset--

 Based on my experience with the SRAM NX Eagle 1 x 12.  During the pandemic 
I was doing a build up and found myself short on matching drivetrain parts, 
unable to acquire what I needed, and tired of matching/mismatching bits & 
parts for 2 or 3 x 8, 9, 10 cassettes and so broke with tradition and 
installed a NX drivetrain on a Gus.  It required a DUB BB tool, an 
additional 12 or 13 links to accommodate the lng chain stays and a 
couple of 2.5 mm shims to accommodate the BB. The operation was smooth and 
flawless and I was impressed by the ease and simplicity of installing the 
entire unit.

I realize your question is directed towards the SX, but my experience with 
the NX has been quite unexpectedly  positive.

Hope this adds to the conversation,

Al

[RBW] Re: DUB Eagle crankset on a Rivendell?

[Garth]

SRAM mtb cranksets start at 169mm for q factor, the Eagle SX is 173mm. See 
their fitment catalog here . 
https://www.sram.com/globalassets/document-hierarchy/frame-fit-specifications/mtb/2021-mtb-frame-fit-specifications.pdf

All their road cranksets are 145mm. Quite a jump !

There's lots of 1x specific cranks, tons. BMX stores are a great place for 
alternatives to the same ol' same ol' big brands. 

All I can say is just educate yourself beforehand as to what type of ring 
attachment a given crank uses. SRAM 's are all direct mount, while BOX for 
example uses a regular 104mm or 110 BCD ring. Also, chainlines can vary 
wildly among these, so you better have a good idea of what you're pairing 
it all with. 

I don't see any type of crank/BB as any more/less "easy-er" than any other 
as such terms are relative.

[RBW] Re: No love for the Riv Bull bar?

Because there is no rise I don't really see why they would need to be 
angled at all but every rider is different. Whatever is comfortable to you.

Re: [RBW] Rivendell Baggage For Sale

[Karl]

Thanks everyone. 

#1- Duluth Candy Bar Bag- Some spotting. Good shape- $50 shipped
#5- Sackville Musette Bag- $40 Shipped
#6- Sackville Big Bag (Don’t remember the model)- $120 Shipped

This is what is remaining. One last post to see if they can go to someone. 
Let's say $150 shipped for all three and something fun in the box for 
bonus.

[RBW] Re: moisture in dynamo light - am i screwed?

Ah! okay, yeah I had rotated it to use in the upside down position but I 
guess I didn't have it mounted correctly. I'll rotate it around and see if 
this helps. Thanks guys!

It looks to be mounted upside down. The wire is supposed to come out the 
bottom of the light. The light can be rotated within the housing. From

Re: [RBW] moisture in dynamo light - am i screwed?

['Eric Norris' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Justin:

Your light is mounted upside down, which may be causing the moisture problem. 
The two LEDs go at the top. Loosen the bolt holding the light on and rotate it 
180 degrees. That might help get the moisture out, if the light body is 
designed to drain from the bottom.

You should see much better performance from the light as well. The IQ-X 
projects an asymmetrical beam that’s flat on top and shines down toward the 
ground. In this way, it’s like modern car headlights. It also helps keep from 
blinding oncoming traffic. 

Your light, being upside down, is working exactly the opposite, shining up 
toward the sky while directing very little light downward toward the road.

Note: The more expensive Edeluxe light comes in two distinct versions for 
sitting above or below the mounting point. The IQ-X has the advantage of being 
able to be rotated to work in either situation.

Re: [RBW] Rivendell Baggage For Sale

Joe is right about bag #9.  I run exactly that bag on some of my drop bar 
bikes.  It's definitely a RACKLESS bag.  If nobody else wants it, I'd take 
it.

 From this week's email:

 Even though the (Roadini) frames are here, we just finished sending out 
 the last of the Atlantis framesets and still have Atlantis builds in the 
 queue. After that we have all the Rosco Platypus frames to either build up 
 or send out, so please be OK with a long lead time, about *a month and

 So the RP's won't go until the Atlantis bikes get built? Even the

 has nearly identical geometry so we getting a green 50 cm frame 
 instead. 

 Anyway, Will told me that the seat clamp lug was designed for the 
 tandem frames and that they had been worried about too much heat 
 weakening 
 the seat tube in that area during fabrication. Turns out that the seat 
 stays ended up being welded lower down and further away from the lug 
 so 
 they decided to use up those clamp lugs somewhere else.

 My plan is to put a collar around the seatpost (29.8mm) and anchor 
 a Nitto long cable hanger from there. It’ll be a minor inconvenience 
 to 
 adjust the collar whenever the seat height needs changing but it’s not 
 a 
 frequent or big deal to me.

[RBW] Re: Nitto Rack Attachment

[scott minor]

I have an older Nitto Campee with those same tabs..  I had the same 
interference so I cut them off neatly several years ago and do still have 
them in case they ever need to be tacked back on..   but I doubt I'll ever 
need to do that.  I have sackville panniers (don't need the tabs) and some 
80's LL Bean panniers (also don't need the tabs).  Also, there is a closed 
loop near the bottom of the rack that would serve the same purpose for 
hooking a strap, should the need ever arise..

I suspect it's just a hook to attach a strap/bungee to. You can certainly

[RBW] Re: DUB Eagle crankset on a Rivendell?

[Piaw Na]

I have an Ultegra SL triple crankset converted to 1x via a Wolftooth 
chainring on my Roadini and a Shimano GRX 810-1 on my custom touring bike 
(which is based on a Bridgestone RB-1). There's no appreciable difference 
in Q factor that I can tell when riding. The biggest problem with the GRX 
is that the smallest chainring you can get for 4-bolt 110 BCD is 36t, while 
if you went with a traditional 110 5-bolt BCD you can get a 34t chainring. 
If you don't frequently ride in groups that are trying to drop people and 
hence you have to keep your cadence in a narrow power band, 1x definitely 
is the way to go. I never realized how frequently I dropped the triple 
until I switched to the 1x and found myself switching gears that were just 
on the border between what would have been the middle and the granny all 
the time --- something I avoided doing on the triple because I was fearful 
of dropping the chain.

I did a short writeup 
here: https://blog.piaw.net/2022/06/a-transition-to-1x-drivetrains.html

[RBW] FS, Boscomoose 580 & Tosco 650 handlebars

[Richard Rose]

Boscomoose 580 width, $150.00 and we split the estimated $35.00 shipping 
cost via Bikeflights from Toledo, Ohio.
Tosco 650 wide, 31.8 clamp, $60.00 and we split the estimated $20.00 
shipping cost via Bikeflights from Toledo, Ohio.
In both cases happy to adjust shipping cost per actual charges.
FYI I have settled on the Bosco 550 for my Clem.
I will add pics in comments, but both bars are 9.9 of 10.
Thanks!

[RBW] DUB Eagle crankset on a Rivendell?

[Michael Morrissey]

Hi,

I know we are all retrogrouches here, but it has been over 10 years since I 
ditched front derailleurs forever on all my bikes. Are some of the new 
cranksets better for "one by" setups nowadays?

On my bike currently, I have a vintage White Industries crankset with a 
WolfTooth narrow-wide chainring, a 9 speed chain, a SRAM GX 10 speed clutch 
derailleur, and a 9 speed SRAM cassette, with a Silver1 shifter. It works 
great.

I was wondering if anyone has a SRAM DUB crankset or any other direct-mount 
crankset on their Rivendell. I've been reading about the DUB cranks and 
they seem actually simpler with fewer parts than a traditional 5 bolt 
crankset. I was wondering if the Q factor also would be wider.

The SRAM Eagle SX crankset seems to be available at a nice price (under $75 
total), and I'm curious.

Thanks,

Michael

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

"No,  I have to admit I never made a convert. I got admiring comments

I never got any body to convert either...I tried too but nobody ever showed 
up with a handlebar bag or panniers to a club ride (except me). There were 
a few cyclists who would show up on steel racing frames, some even with 
downtube shifters, and tear up a club ride. That was cool to see.

Yeah, that's pretty close to the feeling I had on that Trek...It was a good 
bike for one type of riding, but trying to use it for casual cruising or 
picking up groceries was futile. Lol.
