[RBW] Tubus Cosmo and ~64cm Frame size?
Hi everyone, I have a 64cm Atlantis and right now I have a standard blackburn rack on it that is too small to get level and as thus presses against my fenders and causes rubbing. So I've decided to get a new rack, and the Tubus Cosmo looks perfect for what I want. I've placed a backorder at the local bike shop, but they won't get stock for a few weeks, so before I wait a while, get it, and realize it doesn't fit, does anyone have experience with the Cosmo and a ~64cm frame, Atlantis or similar?

[RBW] Re: What do you use for saddle/seatpost security on your Rivendell?
My personal system is a Kryptonite cable run through both the rear wheel and the saddle rails and then attached to a u-lock. This is if I am locking my bike up in the city, or leaving it somewhere for more than 15 minutes or so (I know a bike can be stolen in much less time, but if I'm only stopping briefly I don't bother with the extra locking procedure since it does take an extra minute or so to lock up the bike). I also use a spandex saddle cover to disguise my Brooks to look like an inexpensive plastic saddle at a quick glance. I've eyed the Pitlock system for a locking seat post collar and will likely buy a set in the next weeks. Still, it leaves the saddle vulnerable at the saddle rail clamp. An approach of preventing the unauthorized loosening of the bolt is to fill the recessed hex of the allen bolt head with wax or glueing a ball bearing in it or something that is easy to remove with proper tools that you have at home, but that a potential saddle thief is unlikely to have on them. In the case of wax, a heat source, or the ball bearing a little pick tool. I think a solution that is likely as secure as blocking the bolt is to use an uncommon bolt type like security Torx (Torx bolt with pin in the middle), and this approach makes service easier. Some companies also sell steel bands or thin cables that are designed to mount permanently (like into a gap in the seatpost collar, through which a locking bolt secures the metal band). I don't like this solution so much as it is unaesthetic (a 3/4" wide steel band running the length of the seatpost, no thanks), prevents easy saddle height adjustment (unless you leave a lot of ugly looking slack in the cable), adds an extra step to the removal of the seatpost for servicing, and most importantly, I don't think a 1/8" thick steel cable provides much security as these can be cut with relatively small bolt cutters. So while there is no way to lock the saddle and seatpost in a 100% secure manner, a locking seatpost collar and uncommon saddle rail clamp bolt would be my solution. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Are these the lowriders (and Blug post) in question?: http://rivbike.tumblr.com/post/28936544956/aug-7 I too am interested in any developments.

[RBW] Re: Broadsided on Bleriot today. I am doing better than bike.
Yup, the insurance should cover it. I work at a bike shop and we have several calls a week from insurance companies asking for what a replacement bike would cost for a bike that has been totalled. We also get people looking at a replacement bike saying they'll come back to buy one once they get the money from the insurance company. That said, my brother got in an accident with a car while riding his Atlantis. His rear wheel got folded and despite having all the insurance info he ended up buying a new wheel himself. I'm not sure if he just got fed up waiting for the insurance or what the exact case was, but I can imagine that unless the damage totals several hundred dollars that going through the insurance company would likely be a long process. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: How's the big basket/small rack combo work out?
You could also use some wooden pieces running underneath the basket to support the wire, though I think this would mostly be necessary if you're transporting something very dense that could bend the wire i.e: shopping bag full of canned goods On Saturday, November 3, 2012 9:43:25 PM UTC-4, Scot Brooks wrote: > > I have a Nitto M-12 and I'd like to put the big Wald basket on it.

[RBW] Re: Anybody have great (or lousy) experience with waterproof iPhone5 mounts on your Riv? I need ones to investigate (and ones to avoid)
I work at a shop that sells the Topeak drybag cases for the iphone 4. They seem like a good affordable option that can stand up to a little spray too. I particularly like that they don't require the phone to be in a special (read: bulky) case to clip into a mount. I have my phone in a sleeve case and don't want to wrangle it into a case every time I want to have the phone on my ride. The bag is nice that you can just slide the phone in and go. The plastic would likely protect the phone some should it fall, and the mount can be attached to the stem to have the phone centered in the cockpit: nice! I've ordered one for my iphone 5 and will report back my initial impressions.

[RBW] WTB: Nitto 32F, with front tab!
