[RBW] Re: well, here's my Sam Hillborne build

[Jack Barnes]

How do you like the ride with the big saddle bag? I think my Sam is the 
same size as yours, also with drop bars, and I commute with a single 
ortlieb rear pannier—been wondering about better ways to load it up. The 
assymmetrical loading never bothered me much but maybe I'm just carrying 
more stuff now.

 I have not yet dialed in the fit to feel fully comfortable. I feel as

 I've shifted the saddle a bit further forward.

[RBW] Where are the cheap seats?

[Jack Barnes]

Looking for a cheap, basic saddle... maybe like Riv used on the complete 
Clems. Something that'll do the job for a short ride, but no big deal if it 
gets swiped. Riv doesn't sell anything but Brooks.

Backstory I'm Bosco-ing an old 90's Fuji MTB for my kid to use at college, 
and looking for a saddle that no one would want to steal. I'm guessing 
he'll ride it 10 blocks each way and that's about it. Or maybe someone has 
an old Clem seat collecting dust?

Thanks,
JB

[RBW] Re: Favorite Brake Lever for Swept Bars - Tektro FL540

[Jack Barnes]

I like the FL750,  which is a tad 
longer (I think).
It comes in a mostly-silver option. I got a pair of these from someone on 
the list awhile back, they've been great on Bosco bars with thumbies.
CL 740 is similar and meant for linear-pull.

[RBW] WTB single silver shifter (or dia-compe ENE)

[Jack Barnes]

Looking for one silver shifter.

Luckily I stumbled onto this post:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/rbw-owners-bunch/VplzeZ3NDJg/taLi3RjyAQAJ

... and got to see what the innards of this shifter should look like.  It 
appears I've lost the little spring that makes it all work properly.

I have the pods and one working shifter. Mine are actually the dia-compe 
version that VO sells, but I'm not choosy. Looking for the right-hand side, 
but I've heard they are interchangeable.

Cheers,
Jack in PDX

[RBW] Re: Albatross/bar ends...what grips

If you are thinking of cork grips, then Riv has them pre-slotted:
https://www.rivbike.com/products/mieshas-portuguese-tree-cork-grips-pair-grooved-and-punched-for-barend-shifters

It's been awhile but I think I simply bought cork grips and slotted them

way.

[RBW] Noodle bars: Any upsweep on the flats?

[Jack Barnes]

I've been riding on VO's Rando 
 
bars, but have decided that they have too much forward reach. Switched over 
to a Mark's Bar that I have in the parts bin, and I'm finding that I like 
the reduced reach but miss the upswept flats. Would the Noodle give me some 
of this effect? Hard to tell from the pics. 

I don't need it to be as swoopy as the rando bars. Nitto's rando bar looks 
like a decent option, but too narrow — I'm looking for a 46 or 48cm width.

thanks,
Jack

[RBW] WTB/WTT: Looking for a 46cm Noodle Bar

[Jack Barnes]

Like the title says, looking to buy a 46cm Nitto Noodle H-Bar. 

I have too many bars already to justify a brand-spankin-new H-Bar, without 
checking here first.

I can trade either a VO Rando Bar 
(48cm) 
or a Mark's Bar  (46cm). Both are 
for 26.0 clamps. Plus some cash going your way if it doesn't seem like a 
straight trade.

Cheers,
Jack B. in PDX

[RBW] Re: Wald Big Basket + Nitto small front racks

[Jack Barnes]

I used a large Wald on a Mark's Rack for awhile, secured w/ loads of 
zipties. I had the same concerns initially, but it worked fine for moderate 
loads. 

I used the Lindsay method for modifying the Wald basket, which makes the 
basket a bit shallower, which means you probably won't overload it.

I sold just about all of this stuff, but the VO Campeur is now on eBay with 
about 3+ hours remaining.

Will throw in some extras for RBW members, e.g. your choice of VO Rando 
drop bars, a ~10cm Technomic stem, a new-in-box black Pletsher dual-legger, 
or 55cm SKS Fenders. If you bid & win, then just let me know via PM.

That's a sweet deal. Too bad I already have a sam though my build is 
not as nice.

By the way are you sure it is a 64? Sure looks like 62 to me, which might 
make it interesting to a few more folks.

Andrew, maybe something like the Nishiki in this thread?

(white instead of cream, but same idea)

The white fork probably isn't what you had in mind though.

North St bags are pretty sharp, made here in Portland.

[RBW] Re: RIVEOPARDY

Looking forward to the answer key, if there is one. I think I got the 
buckwheat one answered correctly, but was stumped by a bar that "sounds 
both high carb & low car, and we don't sell it anymore".  I mean, I thought 
of a bar that fits that description — It is the bar I ride on the most, but 
I'm pretty sure Riv does still sell it. Lotsa fun though!

Just wondering if anyone has found a good nail polish tone to use for

[RBW] Shellac blowout

[Jack Barnes]

I ignored the "bulge" of a shellac can this morning, man was that a mistake 
– As I started to wedge off the lid, I heard a big "pop" and then it flew 
across the yard. Luckily it flew away from me instead of in my face!

Same as this, pretty much:
http://www.finewoodworking.com/2009/11/19/the-mysterious-case-of-the-exploding-shellac-can

So watch out for that old shellac... Or maybe switch to flakes?

Re: [RBW] WTB / WTT Tektro R559 with hex nut

Hey Doug, that's a clever solution... might give it a try. However I've

the bolts. Which makes me wonder if I could just supply my own long bolt
