[RBW] Re: RAGBRAI?

2024-01-15 Thread Howard Hatten
I rode ragbrai in 2015. I’m nowhere near as strong a rider as you and had 
no problem with the ride. The outfitter I used doesn’t operate at ragbrai 
any more but if I ever did it again I would try to hook up with this group. 
“Pork Belly Ventures”.  They make tent camping quite nice. They also have 
the nicest shower set up. They are pricey. 
Google them.

[RBW] Re: Sizing Down? Pocket ‘Pus.

2023-11-12 Thread Howard Hatten
Since you already own a few step thru-step over rivs maybe you might want 
to consider adding a Sam Hillborne to the stable. You never know, someday 
you might want to try a drop bar cockpit on your group ride machine. Your 
chariot would be waiting.

[RBW] Re: Kid/Haulin’ Trailer Recommendations for Clem.

2020-05-31 Thread Howard Hatten
David,
I bought a burley dlite off Craigslist for $100. I haul my groceries more than 
my grandkids but it works fine for both. 
My daughter bought a burley encore. It has many nice features for collapsing 
and storage purposes. I believe they offer larger tires for off road use. 
New, they’re expensive. She purchased hers online from bed bath & beyond. They 
allowed her to use her 20% off coupon for a savings of $100.

Re: [RBW] What Is a Cheviot?

2020-03-28 Thread Howard Hatten
I currently have a Waterford Atlantis & a Cheviot. I consider the Cheviot my 
around town errand bike. If I know I’m riding over 20 miles I take the 
Atlantis. I had a Hillborne, early version with canti’s. I bought the Cheviot 
to replace the Hillborne  because I was looking for the step through 
convenience when loaded on a shopping run. Unfortunately the step through is 
really step over. 
The Cheviot is a nice bike but I really miss that Hillborne. I also briefly 
owned a Wilbury  
Knowing what I know now, if I had only one Rivendell it would be a Hillborne. 
Hopefully the next batch that comes in has canti’s and isn’t stretched out in 
the back end. Im planning on buying one and moving the Cheviot down the road.

[RBW] Trainers?

2020-03-18 Thread Howard Hatten
I have the kinetic fluid trainer. It will give you a workout. It will not give 
you the fun of cycling. If you think you would be satisfied riding one of those 
spin bikes in your home I would recommend the fluid trainer. If you get one be 
prepared for the puddles of sweat on the floor and on your bike. I ended up 
buying an old 80’s trek road bike so my good bike didn’t get all salty from the 
sweat.

Re: [RBW] There’s a new man in my life, and his name is Clem

2020-01-02 Thread Howard Hatten
I use a 3 place 1 up and I wouldn’t worry about the weight capacity. It’s very 
stout. I carry an ebike, Cheviot, and an Atlantis, all with fenders. The 
Cheviot is my only bike with metal fenders. I adjusted that foam fender piece 
so it meets the fender just above the fender stay. I’ve had no problems. The 
front wheel isn’t in play so no foam needed. 
I was previously using a Saris and I liked it but I changed to the 1 up because 
I didn’t like moving the wheel troughs around to adjust for different bikes. 
The 1 up also let’s me adjust to the number of bikes I’ll be carrying.

2019-11-01 Thread Howard Hatten
I’ve been using the one up for 2 years now. I bought it because I liked the 
expand ability feature.  75% of the time I only carry 1 bike, but when I need 
more space I add on trays. It will accommodate an old mtn bike, Cheviot, 
Atlantis & a 65 lb ebike without readjusting anything. I can also use my lift

[RBW] Cycling After Heart Valve Replacement

2018-06-06 Thread Howard Hatten
Paul,
I’m not familiar with valve replacement but I have experience with cardiac 
rehab. I had 5x bypass surgery in 2013. I think you will find that you recover 
pretty quick. Being a cyclist your physical condition gives you a leg up on 
most cardiac patients. 
I went to a good cardiac rehab facility post op and I found it very helpful 
with setting my exercise parameters. In 4 weeks they had me jogging on a 
treadmill and 6 weeks post op I rode my bike 8 miles. 8 months later I did 
Ragbrai. 
Use that couple weeks after your surgery as a good time to tune up your bikes 
for when your back in the saddle. 
Best of luck to you and keep us posted.

[RBW] Shank Insole Stiffener Sources?

2018-05-21 Thread Howard Hatten
Patrick
A few years ago I had some foot trouble and I tried these. 
https://www.powersteps.com/pinnacle.html/

If you’re familiar with an orthotic insert these are similar. 
The part that is under the ball of the foot is pliable but arch to heel is 
stiff. I think if you pedaled midfoot these might help. Ball of the foot 
pedaling probably not so much. 
I’ve never tried it but I think these might work with sandals. 
Good Luck

[RBW] 60cm Cheviot Owner Questions: Which Hitch-mounted Bike Racks Work & Largest Tire Width With Fenders

2017-05-24 Thread Howard Hatten
John
I mounted my front fender using a  daruma bolt trying to gain as much clearance 
as possible. The outside arm of the tectro brake interfered with the ridge 
profile of the fender. I attempted to peen some clearance but to get enough I 
messed up the profile of the fender. After buying a replacement I went to a 
Paul racer brake on the front and that gave me the clearance I needed. 
In the closed position I could have made the tectro work it was the released 
position that gave me problems. Trying to gain clearance in the open position 
led to the fender screw up. I had no problems with the tectro on the rear. 
I'm comfortable with the tire clearance I have but I ride roads all the time. 
If I were doing a lot of trail I would set up differently. 

Disclosure: < 12 fender installs.

[RBW] 60cm Cheviot Owner Questions: Which Hitch-mounted Bike Racks Work & Largest Tire Width With Fenders

2017-05-22 Thread Howard Hatten
2. I second the saris freedom for the 60 Cheviot. I use it weekly and it is a 
solid platform for the step through frame. 

3 I'm using the VO Zepplin 52 fenders with Compass Snoqualmie pass tires. The 
rear fender fit under the tectro r559 brake but I had to use a Paul racer brake 
on the front for clearance.  I don't ride this bike off road much but if I did 
I would look for smaller tires to get some more clearance.

Re: [RBW] #%*#! Fenders!!!!

2017-04-18 Thread Howard Hatten
I also had the same problem on my Atlantis using the SKS fender. I would get 
everything adjusted perfect, hit the road and the front would migrate over and 
start the annoying rubbing. 
I fixed it using iamkeith's method,

1) As others mentioned and assuming there is a threaded boss on the underside 
of the Mark's rack, use that to suck the fender upward and stabilize. But do 
this LAST, after you have the rest as good as possible, because you have to 
drill a hole in a precise location.

I didn't screw to the tab, I positioned the fender where I wanted it and 
drilled 2 small holes on either side of the tab. A zip tie holds the fender up 
against the tab now. 2 years no movement

up a Dyno wheel set.

[RBW] New thread - Centerpull brakes on the Cheviot

2016-10-08 Thread Howard Hatten
Nice work Rene. 
It's a shame you had to sacrifice the pump peg to mount the center pulls but 
the brakes look good. I'm working on a 60 Cheviot now, I went with the Tektros. 
Spent some time today working on the fenders. I'm using the 52 VO Zepplins with 
Compass Snoqualmie pass tires. Looks like they'll just fit. One thing I noticed 
is it's going to take a large spacer from the seat stay bridge to fender. If I 
wasn't retired there would be a government job going on the lathe tonight.

[RBW] Nitto vs Pletscher rear racks internal debate...

2016-10-03 Thread Howard Hatten
Rene,
I have the large nitto rear rack on my Atlantis and it works great for touring 
with panniers. I have the Pletscher rear rack on my Hillborne which I use for 
around town errands. I leave Back a Bike bags on it all the time. That 
Pletscher is really handy with that rat trap spring. I find myself sticking 
stuff under there all the time. I'm in the process of building up a Cheviot and 
a  Pletscher rack will be on it.

[RBW] DC Area Friends Meet-up?

2016-09-25 Thread Howard Hatten
Chris, I rode the gap @ c&o this past spring. You'll enjoy much nicer trail 
conditions on the gap. Hopefully fall colors will greet you. If you camp at one 
place I recommend Husky Haven Campground in Rockwood. Reserve early enough and 
your group might get a covered campsite. They have a few. Very nice owners & 
firewood is plentiful. (Free). 
If my wife didn't have a surgery coming up I would join you. Have a nice ride.
