[RBW] Rivendell East Events

2013-05-04 Thread Andrew McGinley
Hey Folks,

Just curious if there are any Rivendellesque events coming up in the Eastern 
region.  I'm in Loudoun County, west of Washington DC, but I get around to the 
mid-East coast and near Midwest…..

Is there a website with events listed etc.?   I saw that Riv East event held in 
April, 2012……..

Many thanks!


Andrew

Re: [RBW] Cycling Apps

2013-05-04 Thread Andrew McGinley
Forgive me if this is a tired topic, but I'd love to have a simple app that 
tells me how far I've gone as I'm riding based on my iPhone's GPS.   Also it 
would be wonderful to have an app that allows me to record my bikes, swims and 
runs and then totals them up and so forth.  

Problem is, many of the apps I've looked into are little rah rah rah personal 
trainers…  Or "here's what you need to do to have ripped abs based on your 
weight and age and religion and the cycle of the moon"…….and so forth.   

Any suggestions?

Re: [RBW] Cycling computers

2013-05-04 Thread Andrew McGinley
thing about computers is, at least for me, I spend a lot of time CALIBRATING 
the damn thing.You set it based on the wheel and tire combination, but 
that's never correct so for the next seventeen rides you are tweaking it.   You 
watch every mile marker like a hawk to confirm how close to accurate your 
computer is.   So you start doing all sorts of calculations in your head like 
"OK, that last mile marker my computer said 9.52 instead of 9.50….that means, I 
need to check it the next time."  Then the next time it says 10.54 and you are 
like "a-ha!  I'm onto you.  So, halfway through this ride, I'll waste 10 
minutes figuring out how to access the calibration function (with one button) 
so I can take 1 index off the wheel-diameter…or is it add 1 index….hmmm…..doe s 
smaller number produce a lower or higher reading….h"And then when you 
turn around on the ride, you are like…."OK gotta stop at PRECISELY at this mile 
marker and place the wheels down without letting them turn unnecessarily so I 
can continue my certifiable obsession with accuracy on the return trip……"
then the next time your tires aren't the same pressure and you even more 
screwed up…

meanwhile a thousand spring trees have passed you by that you will never again 
get to see in just that way in just that same afternoon light and thinking 
about something elegant and free and beautiful…...…..

[RBW] Atlantis in the DC/Baltimore Metro Area?

2013-05-04 Thread Andrew McGinley
Folks,

Are there any Rivendell Atlantis owners in the DC or Baltimore area?  I'd like 
to set my eyes upon one of these bikes.  Is there any store that would have one 
in stock?

I feel myself falling into the "market" for what I think could be a 56cm/26" 
Atlantis.  

I'm west of Leesburg right near the end of the W&OD Trail.   

Anyone?

Anyone have a nice set of 650B wheels?  I'm building up a Saluki.  Something 
"nice."   I'd like to do a 9sp cassette.

[RBW] Bell Question

2011-08-28 Thread Andrew McGinley
Folk,

Just curious looking over the many bells available   What's generally a 
"better" bell?  Brass or Copper?  Loud and pretty would be nice

Also, I like the big Rivendell hammerstrike bells but I'd like something a 
little more low-profile for my road bike and if possible, I'd like to mount it 
somewhere other than on the flats of the drop-bar.  On the threadless 
steer-tube spacers, perhaps?  Incredibell has an interesting one that replaces 
one of your handlebar tape plugs.  Thoughts?

Thanks...

Andrew+
