Thanks Brian! I would enjoy reading your process for 'very meticulous(ly) 
getting a proper toe-in'. 

Would that be a typical difference between machined and non-machined rims- 
the singing?

Re: [RBW] Re: Roaduno - Are for you buying one?

2024-06-28 Thread Adam in Indiana
I’ve been riding 559’s for years on a roady single speed, and have never 
had problems or complaints with them. Anecdotal, I know, but just thought 
I’d throw in a few words in their favor. I would have been happy with 
cantis on the Roaduno as well, but not if it meant an Appaloosa or Hunqua 
frame…I wanted the lighter “every-road” frame.

 A Paul Racer (or other centerpull) could be used on a RoadUno (or 
 Homer, Roadini, etc.), you'd just need to add cable hangers at the 
 headset/stem and seat binder bolt.

 My primary road bike is a Malocchio with 559s and fenders. I also have 
 a Pescadero with maxed out GC610 centerpulls. I've had these bikes setup 
 with the same fenders, wheels, and tires (moved most of the parts from the 
 Pescadero to the Malocchio frame when I got it). Breaking performance 
 between the two setups seems about the same to me and has been perfectly 
 adequate even when caught in a downpour on the 559s, but (1) I'm fairly 
 light and live in an area with rolling hills and (2) the 559s are not 
 maxed 
 out on the front of the Malocchio.

 Riv says the RoadUno takes 46mm without a fender and 43mm with - maybe 
 they haven't actually set one up with 43s and 559s but that doesn't sound 
 problematic to me and my experience with 559s and fenders hasn't been 
 problematic.

 I like the RoadUno and am looking forward to seeing the builds, but am 
 not planning on getting one. My RoadUno proxy is a Handsome Devil with 
 38s, 
 fenders, and cantilevers, built up this spring and soon to be converted to 
 3x1. It also brakes fine.

 I've got a wheel set of Cliffhanger rims with un-machined sidewalls the

 I'd be happy if I lived where it's hilly.

 (ii) Fenders are problematic because the 559s provide obstacles much 
 lower than the brake bridge/fork crown. 
 Notably, there's a spring sticking down; the silver Roaduno pictures 
 show that clearly.

 (iii) Braking is better with Cantis, much better with V brakes. Overall 
 I prefer cantilever, for the versatility.

Re: [RBW] Re: Nitto Technomic Stem

2024-06-28 Thread Gordon Stam
Gorgonzola. Now there's an online moniker. Is it too late to change my 
screen name?

When I got my 59 cm Clem I put a Technomic stem on it with a 130mm reach 
and was thinking that perhaps I should have gotten a 64 because I had the 
stem maxed out to get the handlebars up to the height I wanted.  In a 
similar configuration the faceplate stem gave me two more inches (51mm) of 
rise. That did the trick. I've since gone to a faceplate with a 110 
extension and a handlebar with more rise and everything is still hunky dory.

Oh, it definitely is!And was one of my very first (and easy) decisions when I began planning and collecting for my build.Admittedly, they work best when direct mounted, but I’ve never felt they lacked for braking power running as center mounts instead. Especially not on road.They’re also one of the suggestions Riv makes for brake options on the Uno frame set page.I do understand how they might be a financial concern for people tho - they’re not exactly cheap!Although they do tend to come up on the secondhand market often.P.

The TRP brake levers have sold. The remaining items are:


   1. Busch + Muller Toplight Plus brake light $45 shipped, new in package
   2. 700c Velocity Dyad front wheel with Shimano 105 hub: Silver rim, 
   black hub, 36 spokes, Velocity-built, very little use and spins true $100

The wheel was a takeoff from a Roadini and would be great for another

Re: [RBW] Re: Roaduno - Are for you buying one?

2024-06-28 Thread DavidP
A Paul Racer (or other centerpull) could be used on a RoadUno (or Homer, 
Roadini, etc.), you'd just need to add cable hangers at the headset/stem 
and seat binder bolt.

My primary road bike is a Malocchio with 559s and fenders. I also have a 
Pescadero with maxed out GC610 centerpulls. I've had these bikes setup with 
the same fenders, wheels, and tires (moved most of the parts from the 
Pescadero to the Malocchio frame when I got it). Breaking performance 
between the two setups seems about the same to me and has been perfectly 
adequate even when caught in a downpour on the 559s, but (1) I'm fairly 
light and live in an area with rolling hills and (2) the 559s are not maxed 
out on the front of the Malocchio.

Riv says the RoadUno takes 46mm without a fender and 43mm with - maybe they 
haven't actually set one up with 43s and 559s but that doesn't sound 
problematic to me and my experience with 559s and fenders hasn't been 
problematic.

I like the RoadUno and am looking forward to seeing the builds, but am not 
planning on getting one. My RoadUno proxy is a Handsome Devil with 38s, 
fenders, and cantilevers, built up this spring and soon to be converted to 
3x1. It also brakes fine.

Re: [RBW] Re: Roaduno - Are for you buying one?

2024-06-28 Thread Mathias Steiner
I'm going to write it down to see if I'm the only one who thinks the 
following:

(i) I'm glad the Tektro 559s are available. Even with the pads all the way 
down, they allow "OK" braking even with the factory pads. I'm not sure I'd 
be happy if I lived where it's hilly.

(ii) Fenders are problematic because the 559s provide obstacles much lower 
than the brake bridge/fork crown. 
Notably, there's a spring sticking down; the silver Roaduno pictures show 
that clearly.

(iii) Braking is better with Cantis, much better with V brakes. Overall I 
prefer cantilever, for the versatility.

For sure, I was in the hunq camp, but I get why a slightly lighter weight 
option makes sense.  I would have been happy with a SS Hillborne as canti’s 
would have allowed for just a little bit more tire/fender clearance, I was 
still tempted when I saw that 650b was the wheel size for my size frame as 
that’d be different than what I have, but the LR brakes kill it for me.

@Oli,
Tell me your secret of how you got your Clem to float in the air ?  This is 
amazing.
