[RBW] Re: Flat Bottom Backpack

[Eli Queen]

I have a North Street backpack. It's great. Really nicely made, and has a 
flat bottom:

They make bigger ones, and convertible (to pannier) models, but I like the 
simplicity of the one above.

Good luck,
Eli

[RBW] Re: Quickbeam: favorite tires?

[Eli Queen]

I don't have a Quickbeam, but I do have a Rosco built abound a Qiuckbeam/SO 
fork. I'll second Rich's recondition for the Continental SpeedRide. The 
42-622 fits under fenders and is great for most any surface. They're easy 
on the wallet too.

[RBW] Re: Elongating a chain question.

[Eli Queen]

I don't know that you have any other options. When I had to do the same 
thing I was told by a mechanic at my local co-op: next time I get a new 
chain, get an extra master link and continue to take links from the same 
donor.

[RBW] Re: Your favorite Rivendell?

[Eli Queen]

I only have one, a 51cm red Rosco Bubbe, so it's my favorite. In the year 
I've had it, it's great for everything I've had the opportunity to do with 
it. Rocky and rooty MA trails, to a 100k Populaire, VT dirt roads, getting 
me to and from work. Super stable, never twitchy, but not heavy or sluggish 
at all. The best thing I can say is that it always encourages me to take 
the long way ... no matter where I'm going.

Hubway  is our public bike sharing program here in 
the Boston area. Lots of locations, relatively affordable, but 
unfortunately it will not help you with finding a safe place to park your 
bike.

[RBW] Re: New England Lobstah Riv Roll?

[Eli Queen]

Not 100% sure if I'm free on that date (probably am!), but I'm in the 
Boston area though. Cambridge to be exact. If you want to do a ride on the 
Minuteman Bikeway I'd really suggest making a loop via the Battle Road 
Trail (revolutionary war era dirt road, now a historic site) and the 
Reformatory Branch Trail. The Minuteman is okay, paved multi-use path = can 
be busy, but Battle Road is truly beautiful, and then you get to connect it 
all back up via a packed dirt rail tail.

Here's a like to the route from the Alewife T station (but of course you 
could start in form any point on the Minuteman):
https://ridewithgps.com/routes/24725011

Let me know if you have any questions. Hope others are up for a ride, and I 
can make it too!

[RBW] Re: To shim or not to shim?

[Eli Queen]

This is the method I've used to insert shims (which -- as others have said 
-- work great once installed) as well as handlebars.

https://janheine.wordpress.com/2012/01/17/inserting-a-handlebar-into-a-stem/

It works perfectly, and the little nut/bolt/dime jig holds the stem open so 
you have both hands free to position the shim.

I haven't found the that the masking tape is always necessary.

Hope this helps,
Eli

[RBW] Looking for a small Appa or Clem

[Eli Queen]

Hi all,

My wife had a chance to ride a 46cm Appaloosa this past weekend and loved 
it. Frames, or completes, that small are hard to find (and it seems that 
Rivendell might not be making many production models in those sizes 
anymore.) Dose anyone have any leads on a 46cm Appa, a 45cm Clem H, or 
something similar?

Many thanks in advance,
Eli

[RBW] Re: Red Rosco

[Eli Queen]

(First post!)

I'm building one up right now. It's taking a while (or you could say I'm 
taking my time) b/c I'm also building my fist set of wheels as part of a 
class at my local co-op. The only in-progress photos I have are from my 
cluttered basement, but I'll try to take so better ones soon. Build is 
fairly Riv-standard:

Albatross bars
Nitto Technomic
Tektro linear pull brakes and levers
Microshift thumbies
Sugino/Shimano drivetrain


It's certainly pretty, I can't wait to see how it rides.
