Re: [RBW] Re: Yves Gomez – mustardified

[Max S]

Thanks, Leah. I like Lemondrop, though I do like my mustard! 

Thank you all for the compliments! It's for my one-and-only, so after 
(re)building up the bike, I only took a short test ride around the block. 
Everything stayed attached, nothing rattled, and the bike handled very 
nicely. Single-speed, low-ish gearing, smooth and quiet. I'm divided on the 
black-painted wheels, but am fresh out of anything silver and 135 mm 
spaced, so this will have to do for now. I guess it makes the frame color 
pop more. 

Y'all the best!

[RBW] Re: Yves Gomez – mustardified

[Max S]

George, 
yes, luckily the shipping was via BikeFlights, who were very good about 
reimbursement, all things considered. Note that reimbursement wasn't for 
the total insured amount, but for the amount of repair & repaint. I had to 
provide first detailed photos of the exterior of the box, the damage 
itself, and the inside of the box that showed there was packing material, 
etc. I also had to provide the quote for the repair / repaint, etc.

Re: [RBW] Fork Crack!

['Eric Norris' via RBW Owners Bunch]

I would stop riding that bike immediately. 

Get a new fork—that one looks like it would be very difficult to repair, and a 
fork is a high-stress item that will generate catastrophic results if it fails 
while you’re riding.

Thanks so much, Pam :) 

I'm up in Virginia, about an hour north of Richmond, but riding further 
west. 

I used to have some fam down in Charlotte but they've moved. If I'm ever

[RBW] Re: Philadelphia Bike Expo 2022

[Roberta]

It is so great to greet people in person that we met on the boards. The 
last two years that they had it, we met at the lunch area and chatted while 
looking over booths. Pam led a 7am Saturday morning  ride that was so much 
fun, we got together Sunday to do another. I live in Philadelphia.  We saw 
art, buildings , historic places, nature, Japanese house and garden,  the 
“Rocky” step, liberty bell. 

I met Brian Chapman from Chapman cycles, and Deb from Rivit, and visited 
with the Riv guys. All wonderful people. Keystone bikes is hosting s party 
Saturday nite. They “get” Riv. 

Oh, yeah, there is some bike oriented booths too. :). Two days of 
entertainment.

Oh my. In the unlikely event I actually got on a plane and landed all the

whole (and rather large) Rivendell with me. I'd just hang out and look at 
bikes and stuff, I enjoy that!

[RBW] Re: Fork Crack!

[Joe Bernard]

That looks structural to me. My vague recollection is those forks got 
beefed up after the first run of Appaloosas so you might want to contact 
Riv about background on this. 

If the 57 and 58 Appas use the same size wheels then the new fork should 
fit.

[RBW] Re: Fork Crack!

[iamkeith]

There's a lot or rust going on there, whether it's the only issue or not.  
But my first instict is that this should be a forensic evaluation involving 
Rivendell - not a bunch of arm chair guessing, which is all any of us can 
do from photos.  You probably don't want to ride it until you know, so why 
not send it to them (if they agree), and see what they say.  If it's rust 
or impact related  it might not be fair to consider it a warranty thing, 
but they could certainly help you figure out how to move forward.

[RBW] Re: WTB: 650b rim brake wheelset

[S. Greco]

I have a set. Mavic MR601 hubs with Mavic skewers laced to Velocity Dyads. 
They are 130 spaced and currently have a 9 speed SRAM cassette which is 
included.
$350 + $50ish for shipping.

 I'm in need of a 650b rim brake, quick release wheelset in silver for a 
 new build. In solid consideration is the Crust 650b wheelset for $575. I 
 don't need a dynamo hub, but I'm not opposed to it (it'll just necessitate 
 buying a light as well) 48mm tires will likely live on them most of the 
 time but quite possibly 55mm as well. 

 Anyone have anything not getting used that can compete with the Crust 
 wheels that they'd like to sell? I'm in no way a wheel expert so other new 
 wheelset suggestions are welcome. I tried this a year or to ago and got a 
 bit overwhelmed at the time, leaving some good folks offers and 
 suggestions 
 hanging, so I'll try not to do that again.

[RBW] Re: I pedaled the puddle

[Joe Bernard]

Huh, that's a fascinating description of how spinning feels to you. I'm the 
opposite, I like to spin-spin-spin and 
find the hard-gear/push-hard thing to be more stressful. I don't know why 
and I'm practicing getting better with it cuz that spin does have the 
effect of making every ride take all dang day to get where I'm going. 

Group ride: 
What's funny is it didn't end up being one. The 20-milers were supposed to 
leave no earlier than 10am so we wouldn't get to the rest stop before they 
were set up, I expected the whole group to take off at once. Nope! It was 
very 'everyone just wandering around and doing their own thing' when I got 
there so I snapped a pic and hit the road by myself. Eventually I joined up 
with a father and son and we did the crazy-fast downhill together, so that 
was cool.

Re: [RBW] Re: FS: Clem H 59 cm in Grilver

[Daman Kumar]

Sorry, cmrngetty -- the frame is sold pending payment/pickup to a 
list-member local to the PNW. However, to answer your question about fit, 
Riv recommends
a PBH range of 89-97 cm here --> 
https://web.archive.org/web/20200928024522/https://www.rivbike.com/pages/pubic-bone-height-how-to-measure-your-pbh

Also, wow, I've had nothing but trouble with Google's notification system 
with this post. Missing PMs, and now failure to notify me of cmrngetty's 
email.

P.S. Once the sale goes through, I will most likely make a separate FS post 
with parts I do not decide to keep. If you're interested in something, feel 
free
to shoot me a PM.

[RBW] FS: Rivendell Brand V Handlebar Bag

All,

I had this bag with me when I visited Riv HQ and the staff was gushing over 
it.  I think this was my first Rivendell item ever, and it was my primary 
bag for many years starting in 2012 hence the wear.  The strap that goes 
around the head tube came off long ago but I still have it as well the 
unused map case. I would want $45 net to me plus shipping.

Thanks in advance for your consideration,

Captain Conway

P.S. I still have the Paul Neo Retro brakes available $170 net to me plus 
shipping.

Re: [RBW] Re: Philadelphia Bike Expo 2022

[Leah Peterson]

Joe, you have to come. Just do it for the weekend. I never get away for these 
things either, I hear ya, but I’m forsaking my responsibilities and doing it. I 
have to drive all by myself for 10 hours each way, but I’ll find enough coffee 
and courage and just do it. Rivendell will be there, too. There will be group 
rides in the city and seminars to attend at the convention. Here’s the website:

https://phillybikeexpo.com/

Now, will you pack your bike in a box like Pam Murray and bring it along? I 
think yes.

You don't even have to use spacers - you can use a two nylock nuts - one at 
each end of where the spacer would be - infinite adjustability.
Or a spring like this:

Yes you can reuse (if they're not cut too short) the stays on the bike. You 
probably have rubber caps on the ends you'll need to remove, then you can 
slide them off the old fenders and onto the new ones.

While many refer to McMaster-Carr. that's great if you regularly shop

nothing like going to a store and finding something suitable there. Take 
your fender bolt with you to the store. For fenders the gap need not even

Are you talking about spacers? If so, you can order them from
McMaster-Carr. Search for "unthreaded spacers" and you will get a whole

[RBW] SKS Fender Hardware addition - Riv video advisement

[Tim Tetrault]

Hi Group-

I've placed an order for SKS P50 Longboards for my 2011 side pull style Sam 
Hillborne.

Using this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lG_WZVS9SUY

Rivendell advises picking up some 1/2 inch and 1 inch spaces for the rear 
install, near the chainstay bridge.

If I go to Home Depot, what precisely am I looking for? Are these 4mm, 5mm 
wide? I want to pick up some extras for my wife's bike too.

Additionally, I currently have a set of standard chromoplastic (P40 or so 
sized) mounted- can I keep the fender stays mounted and just mount/bolt the 
fender to these to save myself the cutting job? (I know I'd have to 
probably bend them some)

Thanks for any guidance you have.

[RBW] Various stuffs - Nitto, Acorn, Swrve

[Kieran J]

Hi all,

Cross-posting this from the iBOB list. Prices are in $USD and include 
shipping.

   - Dia-Compe DC-980 cantilever brakes. Two pairs/one bike's worth. Used 
   but excellent shape. Includes brand new upgraded Tektro cartridge pads. $65
   - (2) Nitto Technomic stems. Both are 90mm. One has 25.4mm clamp, one 
   has 26.0mm. $40 each.
   - Acorn small/medium saddlebag. Tan canvas. Great shape, some stains. $60
   - Swrve 'Durable Cotton' skinny fit knickers. Black. Marked as 32" but 
   fit more like 30". I wore these a bunch but they are tough as nails and 
   show almost no wear. Love these but they don't fit my waist anymore. $40

Link to pics 


Thanks,
Kieran
Victoria, BC

Were you compensated for the damage (presumably by the shipper)  well 
enough to pay for the frame repair and re-paint?
Looks great now, BTW.

[RBW] Philly Bike Expo ride from/to Bergen City, NJ?

[Elton Lance]

Hello all,

I’ll be visiting family and plan on going to Philly Sat. 10/28 and returning 
10/29.  Would be willing to split travel expenses (gas, tolls).

Is anyone going to be driving either/or of those days?

Elton Lance
Vero Beach, FL

 You know you could likely find your own washer "add-ons" at a hardware 
 store. That right, use your existing washers and find a like ID and OD 
 washer to those. Stack as many as you need for the extra 4mm, or more, or 
 less. I'm all for using what you got when possible !

That's a good idea Mark.  I had my CX70s on a Hunqapillar and the medium 
washers were the right fit on that bike-- which suggests that Rivendell 
probably did not use the large washers much at all.  They are nice brakes 
but you need to make sure you keep the pivot/bushing well oiled because 
they will corrode and become gritty or useless.

 Probably a long shot, but anyone hording bits and pieces from Shimano 
 CX70 cantilevers?  I've got the brakes, but need to swap out the medium 
 (14mm) washers for large (18mm) to fit a new frame. The CX50 version is 
 available, but I'm trying to keep everything matchy-matchy.  


 thanks!!

[RBW] Re: Philadelphia Bike Expo 2022

[Wally Estrella]

It's on my calendar, so that means I'm hoping to go.  I'm riding the 
Appalachian Gravel Grinder the week before, so I have to juggle some PTO 
and cat-sitter stuff.  My wife has some family in Philly so that's a plus 
on me getting down there.  It'll probably be an Oct 28th decision...
