[RBW] Re: WTB: randoneur style bag for front rack

[Andrew Turner]

I've got a Ruthworks I'm trying to sell on eBay which will work great with 
this rack. Here's the link  to the 
posting. It's basically new, used once, but I did cut a small slit in one 
of the back pockets for an external battery that's been covered with some 
tenacious tape. For RBW Group: 165 +shipping. 

Cheers, 
Andrew

[RBW] Re: Seeking Advice - Shimano 9 Speed Downtube Shifters

[Corwin Zechar]

Hi Matt -

I am familiar with the gentleman in Albuquerque. We have traded several 
times (both directions).

I now have options on two sets of 9 speed Dura Ace levers. And both are 
local. So hopefully - no shenanigans required in Albuqurque.

Regards,

I agree. Using 10 speed shift levers requires the cable routing hack on the 
rear derailer.

Re: [RBW] How to bond plastic knob to metal screw?

[Josiah Anderson]

Oh, rereading I see now that you're actually trying to get the new knob to
stay put. What if you used that same locknut idea, just with one nut
pushing against the back of the knob? That would probably hold it on quite
securely.

The goal is to remove that threaded rod, right? I would try to find two
nuts that fit on there and lock them together, like you would on a hub
axle, and just use those to turn it. Alternatively you could wrap it in
something soft (bar tape?) and turn it with vise grips or something. I
don't think the broken plastic knob necessarily has to be involved in this
process, unless I'm missing something, which is very possible.

Re: [RBW] Re: Nitto Basket Rack: is it too heavy?

[Bicycle Belle Ding Ding!]

I got my bike done today at the shop and it has made a huge difference in 
ease of lifting it onto the rack. I didn’t get far with setting it up again 
because when I got home I realized the rear dyno light isn’t working now. 
She shop had to mess with the dyno wiring and something is likely off, but 
I can’t see what. Also, they wadded up the wire and zip tied it to the top 
tube, near that pretty head tube lug and it’s hideous. I will beg them (and 
pay them again) to wire that bike more classily. My other bike is a perfect 
example, so maybe I bring that in as a guide. 

But, once I get these details handled, I do think I’m going to love the 
improvements. Photos to come!

 As a non-front-rack guy (so why are you even posting, Joe??) I have no

 weight. When I had my custom designed, then added parts, I leaned towards 
 as much lightness as I could safely get away with for the use. Lighter = 
 easier/faster was a consideration, but the main goal wasn't for riding but 
 moving the thing around. If it's a struggle to get up the steps to my

 needs to be accessible in all ways. SO. If you're struggling to load it

 way.

 Hello Rivsters,

 I'm parting with a couple bikes, hope someone else can put them to good 
 use. This is a 58cm Toyo Atlantis that I got off the group. It's in fairly 
 good shape based on it's age. Chain suck, cable rub, a couple chips on the 
 headtube, the usual for a used, almost 20 year old bike. I'm selling the 
 F/F/HS, seatpost, BB, and your choice of either or both wheelsets. The 
 silver wheelset is Velocity Dyads laced to a Shimano dynamo and Shimano LX 
 rear hub, both 36 hole, and have Rene Herse 700x44 Snoqualmie Pass tires 
 on 
 them. They came with another bike and are in very good condition but I 
 can't comment on their mileage or who built them. The black set is 
 Velocity 
 Dyads laced to a SP dynamo hub, and Shimano XT rear, 32 hole front, 36 
 hole 
 rear. These are Rich built from Riv, they also came on another bike so I 
 can't comment on their mileage either. These have Soma Cazaderos, 700x50. 
 Both sets are interchangeable without adjusting the brakes. 

 For reference in the pics, the bike is setup with a 5cm stem, Crust 
 towel racks, and the saddle height is 77cm.

 Price for the frame and both wheelsets is $1800. Frame only $1200, 
 $300/set for the wheels. Shipping is the buyer's responsibility unless you 
 want to pick up from me in IN about an hour outside of Chicago. If you 
 want/need parts lmk and maybe we can work something out.

Re: [RBW] WTB: Carradice - large saddlebag

[Eric Daume]

I just ordered one from SJS. It was something like $80 for the Camper
longflap and another $40 for shipping (I added another bag and a few parts
to ammortize the shipping)

[RBW] Re: FS: SKF, Suntour brakes, Son Dynamo

[Collin A]

Thanks Joe!

The SKF bb has sold. The remainder is still available:

Some silver1 downtube shifters. The left is in good condition, the right is 
a little banged up, but functions perfectly (the arm appears bent a bit and 
the rivet covering the ratchet is sheared). *Asking $45 shipped.*..basically 
it's an almost* 2-for-1 deal!

Suntour XCD cantilever brakes with the self energizing rear. Tried these 
before I settled on the paul cantis on there now. Quite adjustable and 
quite powerful and would be a good set of cantis for sam, joe, or 
atlantis...maybe even Gus/Susie? *Asking $50 shipped*. 

24h son delux hub - not the typical Riv part, least of which because it is 
intended for disc brakes (gasp), but also black and thru-axle and only 24h. 
I used it on a go-fast rando bike this past year, but switching up the 
fleet and no longer need this jewel of a hub. *Asking $250 shipped*

[RBW] Re: Crooked Clem H fork

[Ryan Frahm]

Thank you for the reply! If I had a bit more knowledge and something stable 
to place the fork in I might give it a shot. I’m sure it would be fine if a 
local frame builder has time. I was messaged directly to try Elephant 
bikes, so I might give them a call depending on what Riv says when they get 
back to me. 

The fork has some decent wear and a bit of rust that I wouldn’t mind a new 
one if one exists or the cost isn’t crazy.

[RBW] Re: WTB: randoneur style bag for front rack

['John Hawrylak' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Jon

I suggest you look at the Roadrunner bag VO sells.   It was made with 
grommeted holes in the back which match the holes in the VO decailluer. 
Randonneur Handlebar Bag - Velo Orange (velo-orange.com) 

I see they are sold out, but give them a call and see when they will be 
in.  I believe they are MUSA, so the wait should be short.

 The VO decailluer is too short for standard Berthoud type bag ad does not 
reach the leather strip typically on the back of the bag..

provided the fork is only bent to the side it's not terribly difficult to 
do yourself. I had good luck at my LBS as well but the head mechanic was a 
hobby frame builder so was quite good at alignment. If there's any local 
frame builders, they also should be able to cold set your forks easy

[RBW] Re: WTB: randoneur style bag for front rack

[Slin]

To follow up on Minh's questions - I also commute in SF, and I like to take 
my bags off my bike if I lock it outside. So what's worked well for me is a 
front rack with a Wald basket with a bag that sits inside. 

Here's a sweet bag that's made locally too-

[RBW] Re: FS: SKF, Suntour brakes, Son Dynamo

Quick update to add some silver shifters and dropped prices.

Some silver1 downtube shifters. The left is in good condition, the right is 
a little banged up, but functions perfectly (the arm appears bent a bit and 
the rivet covering the ratchet is sheared). *Asking $45 shipped.*..basically 
its a 2-for-1 deal!

I have a completely unused SKF square taper bottom bracket that I no longer 
need. It was a warranty replacement from earlier this year that hasn't even 
been installed. 113, JIS, BSC and currently $169 from Rene Herse. *Asking 
for $100 shipped.*

Suntour XCD cantilever brakes with the self energizing rear. Tried these 
before I settled on the paul cantis on there now. Quite adjustable and 
quite powerful and would be a good set of cantis for sam, joe, or 
atlantis...maybe even Gus/Susie? *Asking $50 shipped*.

Hi Jon

congrats!  are you asking for a bag that would work with the rack decaleur, 
or one that sits on the rack--like the fabs chest?   
Have you ridden a this bike (or another riv) with a large front bag?   as a 
fellow QB owner who loads a bunch in my front rack, the steering can be a 
bit of a surprise!  

enjoy, and welcome!

Thanks for the offer, though as you suspect I'm only looking for frame/fork.

Very heartwarming to see so many embrace the activity. Sad that your stint 
was marred by parent problems in continued participation and equipment 
readiness. Not caring is a position kids learn because most things can be 
presented to them in a manner that does elicit their care.

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

[Daman Kumar]

Art,

The bus racks didn’t fit my Clem. I haven’t had a chance yet to use the
King County light rail, or trains in this region, so I don’t know about
those. I have a couple of pictures of it on a “practice rack.” I’ll post
them here later tonight.
