[RBW] Re: Inexpensive rear light to mount on Seat stay - any suggestions
The Cygolite Hotshot models come with a seatstay mount clamp in addition to the seatpost clamp. I've found it can be mounted vertically and is not particularly bulky, and the output can be lowered to be less blinding to fellow riders.

[RBW] Re: Best Riv Rando Bike
This is an interesting question. I rode PBP in 2007 on my coupled Riv Bleriot and was comfortable the whole way on Grand Bois 32mm tires. it was a fair bit more forgiving than the stiffer Ritchey Logic 700c I rode in 1999 with 23mm tires. I'm on tandem for PBP this year but if I were to ride PBP solo again, I'd take the Bleriot with 38mm tires. The Riv road-oriented bikes are suitable for randonneur rides with room for wider tires, fenders, and baggage. I see them on brevets in the Mid-Atlantic region. Of the current models, it would for me come down to those with more sloping top tube, the Roadini or the Hilsen. I rode the old Boston-Montreal-Boston 1200K on a Rambouillet with 26mm tires -- far too narrow for the roads. It was fine but I preferred the light and lively feel of the Bleriot.

[RBW] Re: Suggestions for better braking?
I have Tiagra levers and R559 brakes on my Bleriot. The braking improved significantly using salmon pads and compressionless housing, specifically, the Jagwire KEB-SL Pro Road. The mushy feeling went away and they have a nice predictable grip. I use the Jagwire EZ-Bend segments that lead into the brake levers. There is also the Yokozuna Reaction housing but the Jagwire is much easier to cut with regular Park cable cutters. I have the Yokozuna on a bike with Avid BB7 disc brakes and the stuff was a pain to install but those brakes got a lot stronger.

[RBW] Re: Dim lighting on SON hub/Edelux II headlight
SON hubs can have internal problems. I have had two of them, disk-specific, same wheel, that have stopped working. When they did fail, it was immediately obvious due to a prominent buzzing noise. That noise stopped when the hub was disconnected. Both were on our tandem. In one case the light output was nil, the other was dim and flickering. Peter White handled both repairs without issue. He said the failure was something to do with the coil inside the hub. We have another SON on a second tandem, also disk brake, that has been trouble-free.

[RBW] FS: Spectrum lugged tandem frameset
We're letting go of our 2015 custom Spectrum lugged tandem frameset, with some extras. The captain top tube is 57.5 cm effective. I'm 5"11" and I have the saddle about as low as it can go at about 72.5 cm and still accommodate the stoker boom. Steerer is uncut. My stoker is 5'8" and it was built for a stretched stoker position. It can easily handle someone shorter and a bit taller. We set it up with drop bars, 700x32mm tires with fenders and disk brakes. It's got a fast, solid feel, it reminds me of my Rambouillet. Other details: King headset; quick release dropouts; 145mm rear/100mm front hub spacing; front and rear rack mounts. (It was not meant for loaded touring, however). Includes stoker boom and fenders. See a full set of photos and the frame sizing schematic here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1gJq14wBO-aJbcl4uwFv6IAtF102f8EJC Asking $3,650 plus actual ship or pick up in the Washington, D.C. area. No dents, minimal marks. I also have wheels and the NItto 32F rack to sell, please inquire if needed. Thanks for looking!

[RBW] FS 56cm 1992 RB-1 complete $650

The recent FS thread here got me off the fence about my 58cm Toyo-built Atlantis. It has always been slightly too big for me. Asking $1000 for frame/fork/HS + Blackburn frame pump and SKS fenders. Local pickup or shipped (U.S. only) at your cost through College Park Bicycles in College Park, Md. I'm the original owner and always stored it in my home.

If any of those items are of interest with the frameset please ask and I can come up with a low price. I'm keeping the pedals, saddle, brakes and brake levers.

Re: [RBW] Re: Pricing a HubbuHubbuH build
Interesting. Must have changed over time; or because we use bar end shifters the gaps are not an issue. We bought XD tandem cranks new in late 2015 for our Spectrum tandem. Zephyr chainrings have worked great with Shimano 9-speed chain and cassette without any special modifications. We're running 50-40-26 rings, Shimano 9-speed bar-end shifters and Campagnolo front derailleur, the older kind made for the Racing Triple and similar cranksets.

[RBW] Re: Pricing a HubbuHubbuH build
We've built up tandems for road touring and brevets, all in Rivendell style. Your list is good. Correct on the rear hub. The biggest cost drivers on a tandem are cranks – we like Sugino XD-tandem specific with TA Zephyr rings – and strong wheels. We like White Industries hubs though they require periodic maintenance. Phil are also great but more expensive. Lower cost Shimano 145mm drum brake hubs are out there but you'll need a disk adapter. Good luck!

[RBW] Re: What's the longest you have ridden on your Rivendell period?
1200K, Rambouillet, Boston-Montreal-Boston randonee 2004. Tough ride, 25mm tires didn't do well on New England's pavement. 1200K, coupled Bleriot, Paris-Brest-Paris randonnee 2007. Terrific ride on Grand Bois Cypress 32mm tires, even on chipseal.

[RBW] Clicking From Crank Area
I've been working through the same noise on my SimpleOne. Happens when I stand up and crank hard up a slope. All drivetrain components & rear wheel inspected and replaced or overhauled. Thinking it might be related to the kickstand, or fender installation, seems like the noise is caused by frame flex at bottom bracket area causing something to bind up.

[RBW] Re: Click, click, click ... aaargh
We use White hubs on our tandems. That rear clicking you describe is familiar. It's the sound of a White hub needing service. The bearings are relatively inexpensive. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: Odds of a Fully lugged tandem happening?
We had a custom fully lugged road & randonneuring tandem built last year by Tom Kellogg/Spectrum. My wife Mary wrote a post about it: https://chasingmailboxes.com/2016/04/27/the-highs-and-lows-of-new-bike-day/ Here's a photo of the frameset by Tom; scroll forward to see more details. https://www.flickr.com/photos/spectrumcycles/20710233560 The price for the frameset and fork was about twice what Grant charges for a full custom Rivendell. It could go higher depending on the paint scheme. I forwarded photos to Grant and he replied that it took many hours of labor to craft the lugs. For the same reason, Tom builds just one tandem a year. The $1,600 price for the tandem frameset Grant is selling now is a real bargain for what you are getting. It's not my kind of tandem but the value is quite good.

Re: [RBW] Re: C in October
We still have that gray Cannondale tandem, known as the Lead Sled. It gets used for dirt rides, Hilly Billy Roubaix, and town riding with my teenage daughter. It's one of those bikes that isn't by any means perfect, but is perfect for the use it gets. And so it stays in the stable.
