Re: [RBW] Re: My First Rivendell... Meet my Leo Roadini and I.

[Scot Klein]

I think the seat tube is 31.8mm. Wanted to do the complete build through
Riv, so I went with the CX70, which I have no complaints about. In the back
of my mind, I knew I could grab something vintage off eBay and throw it on
there if I wanted to.  Mainly I knew the second the bike arrived, I would
want to be out riding it and didn't want any downtime if something didn't
work out. Will leave everything as is for now.

My objective was the retro/vintage look with all silver components. Front
Deraileur is an exception because I couldn't find one that could handle the
range without needing a braze-on/adapter.

Nice work! I'm jealous you got yours in person. Very similar build to what 
I just built; wheels, brakes, stem, bars, saddle (except you got the copper 
rivets). I approve, haha.

Works great with the 11-32 cassette and dura ace bar end shifters! Only

[RBW] Re: My First Rivendell... Meet my Leo Roadini and I.

[Scot]

Congrats! It was a tough decision between the XCD, VO, and Rene Herse. I'm 
happy with the SunXCD. I wanted all silver components which made it tough 
too and being that SunXCD had the RD, that helped sway my decision toward 
the cranks too.

Will warned me to not count on breaking from the hoods if I went non-aero, 
but it really isn't bad at all. Most aggressive breaking is in the drops 
but when I'm up on the hoods, it is mellow.

[RBW] My First Rivendell... Meet my Leo Roadini and I.

[Scot]

Hello RWB Owner's Bunch! I've been peeking around since I was ready to make 
my first Riv purchase. I have a few bikes that I love and didn't want too 
much overlap, so I went with the Roadini. I have a 1993 Klein Quantum which 
was my father's and is too big for me, but it is fun to ride every once and 
a while, just not for too long. So I'm going to work on selling that soon. 
I really wanted an Atlantis but with having a Surly Troll, 1983 Specialized 
Stumpjumper and a 1983 Ross Mt. Whitney; which I love all 3, I didn't want 
them to get jealous ;)

When I was ready to make my purchase, I called up RBW and Will answered the 
phone. I told him I was ready to buy/build a complete through them and off 
we went! I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Here's pictures and 
a full list of the specs for those interested:

[RBW] Re: Did you have a 2018 cycling goal? Did you achieve it?

[Scot]

All these stories/goals/non-goals are great to hear! Everyone living their 
own, different lives and trying to cycle as much as possible. I'm 35, just 
brought our second child into the world, and work full time.

This year my unspoken goal has been to ride whenever possible, likely 
inspired by Just Ride. So this year, different than any in the past, I've 
ridden to work when possible, grocery store, or even to pick up dinner for 
the family. I've spent more days on the bike than any year in the past and 
I'm very happy with that. Also purchased my first Riv (Roadini) this year 
too!!!

[RBW] Re: Need 11-speed friction shifters?

MicroShift makes some 11-speed shifters also, though I did not see any 
downtube ones in 11-speed on their website. I've got the bar-end ones on my 
Surly Troll used with Shimano XT RD-M8000 and FD-M8025, they work great!

[RBW] Dynamo lighting and colored gels

[Scot Brooks]

This post is meant to let you know about some messing around I've done and 
the results I've found. 
I've never been quite happy with the color temperature of the LEDs in the 
dynamo lights I've owned, which includes the IQ Fly, Cyo, Eyc, and most 
recently the Edelux. Remembering that I was always partial to a nice yellow 
set of goggles back in my skiing days, I thought producing a less-blue 
light might be nicer for me. I experimented with some scrap pieces of Rosco 
colored photographic gels to get a more pleasing color temperature. I went 
for the commonly used and widely available CTO (color temperature orange). 
As far as I know, these come in CTO, 1/2 CTO, and 1/4 CTO, maybe others. 
The CTO is *really* orange and cuts out too much light, but might be OK 
with one of the newer super high lux lights. The 1/2 CTO is really nice but 
still absorbs just a tiny bit too much light for my Edelux. I'd recommend 
trying this one if you have a powerful light or a really dark commute. The 
1/4 CTO turns the super blue LED light into a much nicer neutral/warm light 
without absorbing too much for city riding. If you don't have photographic 
gels, you can buy sheets really cheap. If you have a small light, you might 
be able to get away with using one of the tiny sheets from the *free *Rosco 
sample pack they'll send you.

[RBW] Re: LED Fender Lights: Spanninga vs. PDW Fenderbot

[Scot Brooks]

The Pixeo is pretty good, definitely bright enough, but has a weak point on 
the inside, where the threaded plate is retained by plastic channels. If 
you tighten beyond snug, the plate rounds out the channels and spins 
freely. Then you have to disassemble the light and hold the plate manually 
to get it tight again. Small thing, but likely enough to happen. Otherwise, 
fine light.

The deal with the Microshift thumb shifters and the IRDs is that they work

alternative though; Sunrace thumb shifters (and NOT the ones Riv sells) can 
be had in 8 or 9 speed indexed for $28 retail per side, or $56 for a bike's 
worth. They are as accurate as the Microshift or the IRD, for sure, no 
doubt about it.

[RBW] FS: New 650b wheelset with Compass Loup Loup Pass tires

[Scot Brooks]

The wheelset was built at our shop for a project that is no longer 
happening. The rims are Soma Weymouth 36h, the hubs are Tiagra 36h, the 
spokes are DT Champion 2.0 straight gauge, the tires are Compass Grand Bois 
Loup Loup Pass 650x38b. Rim tape and tubes in there as well. All ready to 
go, totally hand built with lots of love. $450 for everything, which 
basically gives you labor ($120) knocked off the price. Price will lower 
every so often until the set sells. Free pick up in Seattle or actual 
shipping.

The one I'd really like to try is the Rodriguez Outlaw. They're built here

I ride a LOT of classic steel, some good, some boring, some incredible. At my 
shop, fixing up classic steel frames while retaining their flavor is our entire 
business model. My Sam feels good but not at the level of some bikes that roll 
through our shop; an old Atala, a dumpster find Windsor, a Medici. Not to say 
they were made by people who care about what they do more than the people who 
made my Sam but they FELT incredible. Better in fact. Love my Sam but, man, the 
past had some nice stuff.

[RBW] Dumonde Tech Chain Lube Initial Review

[Scot Brooks]

Sounds good for your specific needs, Patrick. The only thing I can add to this 
discussion is that we get all sorts of lubes sent to our shop here in Seattle 
(rainy, at least almost as much as people think), mostly "high tech" or 
"purpose specific" or whatever, and they're all pretty OK. We try them all on 
our own bikes and sometimes on we ask the hardcore cyclocross guys and the bike 
polo guys to try them. Usually the finding is that they're the same or 
marginally worse or marginally better. Most often the same. The only constant 
is that lube is better than no lube. Tri Flow, Boeshield, Prolink, it's hard to 
tell any difference. We got some recently from a weapons contractor. Fine 
stuff, but we couldn't tell the difference. Extreme conditions sometimes 
requires extreme lubes I suppose, but generally it makes hardly any difference. 
Hear chirping birds? Lube it up.

[RBW] Re: thump thump thump thump

[Scot Brooks]

Hi Lynne,
Sounds like you've done a good job going down the checklist, but here's 
what I'd do before building a new wheel. File the brake pads so that any 
little metal shards are out of the picture, then I'd give a bit of angle to 
the pads, so instead of looking like this | | when you look down at them, 
they'll look like this / \ but not as extreme. This will make it so the 
trailing edge of the pad (since the top of the tire is moving away from 
you) makes contact with the rim first, rather than the leading edge. 
That'll eliminate the hard edge of the pad as a possible reason at least. 
You can do this yourself with an adjustable wrench by bending the arms of 
the brake (assuming you have caliper brakes), but your LBS probably has the 
Park tool designed for this very thing. Hopefully that works! If not, we'll 
come up with a plan B.

[RBW] Re: Sackville SaddleSack Large or Medium for Rides to Beach?

[Scot Brooks]

Hi Homer,
I think the large is the winner where a beach trip is concerned. More stuff 
fits inside and towels are pretty bulky. The advantage the medium has, in 
that it doesn't require a rack, isn't an advantage at all for you it seems. 
No balance issues for me, no back of the leg annoyance, and since it's not 
really any wider than most people's grip on the handlebars, it won't run 
into anything you don't run into with your hands first. My one gripe about 
it, from my personal experience, is that I've got to be really careful with 
my leg swing-over when I have the flap super overloaded, like with a big 
sleeping pad or something. Otherwise, it's great. Number one best feature 
is the super fast and easy access, which I've found to be much better than 
all other saddlebags.

[RBW] Re: Old PSA from B-Stone about prices for bikes

[Scot Brooks]

I work at a bike shop, but thankfully not one that sells new bikes. We find 
nice old steel road and touring bikes, fix them up the way we like, put our 
own sort of hand-shake-promise-warranty on them, and sell them for a modest 
profit. We rarely get hagglers or people who want to price shop us (on new 
parts, or helmets, etc.) against the internet, but it happens. It can feel 
really crappy when it does because it feels like the customer is saying our 
thing is worth less, or our time is worth less, or whatever. They're just 
trying to save money, but it seems to me that you'd only want to make a 
purchase in a place where you trust the people who work there. When you 
trust them, you believe they'll be fair and honest with you. 

I didn't give up the corporate world of Business Development/Marketing to 
work in a bike shop because it was going to get me rich. I did it because 
I'd rather be doing it, and the nice people far outweigh the not-so-nice 
ones.

[RBW] Re: Drivetrains without a front derailer

[Scot Brooks]

Hi Jim,
You need a dealer log-in to search, at least as far as I know. We let customers 
look stuff up at our shop, and I bet your LBS would too.

Patrick, I'd think that "is it better for me?" would be higher on your list 
than "which one's simpler?". Simple sometimes means MIG welding some straight 
gauge tube into a triangle, and complicated sometimes means brazing some lugs 
and slapping on fancy paint. Which to choose?

I've not tried this actual hub so I can't pass judgment, but I'm not exactly in 
love with, or devoted to, any single component, brand, or concept as far as 
drive trains are concerned.

[RBW] Re: Paul thumbies/ shimano bar end shifting problems

[Scot Brooks]

Hi Michael, 
My guess is that you've set them up in the wrong "starting position". 
Happens all the time, so no biggie. Try starting fresh with everything 
unscrewed and the indexing limit washer in whatever position you like. Then 
try clicking through without actually screwing it all together. If you run 
out of clicks before you should, take note and rotate the indexing limit 
washer, put the shifter back on, and try again. It's just a matter of 
finding the correct starting position. Then screw everything down and off 
you go!

[RBW] What's the real San Marcos tire/fender combo clearance?

[Scot Brooks]

It's a bit vague on the Riv site and on the Soma site, so I'm hoping to 
hear from those who've actually tried the combo I'd like (it's what's 
holding me up on ordering a frame). Fingers crossed, it can squeeze some 
Jack Browns and 45mm aluminum fenders. Does it work? Worst case, I'd be 
happy with Ruffy Tuffys and 37mm aluminum fenders, so if that's the combo 
you run and it's good-but-tight I'd love to hear from you too.

 I would call Riv and ask them, but this is a case where I'd be ordering 
wholesale from Merry Sales through my shop and I don't want to take up 
their time on a non-direct sale. For the record, I bought my Sam fair and 
square direct from Riv so I am a bonified customer, just not for this 
theoretical bike.

[RBW] Re: Edelux - Blug Post

[Scot Brooks]

Hi Eric,
We mess around with modifying Nitto racks kind of a lot at the shop I 
occasionally work at, mostly for the purpose of dialing in the fitment or 
getting things super level. It's way easy, or at least for the guys who do 
the actual welding and brazing (not me). Moot point really, since I guess 
it's not exactly an "easy" solution from the standpoint of a customer 
buying a fancy rack, spending more money to have it modified, and then more 
money to have it painted or powdercoated.

Hi Cecily,
Here's what 
flickrhad to 
offer for the comparison. They really are remarkably similar, even 
near-as-makes-no-difference. We carry both in the shop where I work and I 
really can't tell if there's a difference when I hold the two up to each 
other. I've got the Somas on my bike and they're great, but nothing like 
the Nitto in terms of finish. Not even close.

Re: [RBW] FS: SON28/LX/Dyad wheelset, B&M lights, Nitto Big Front Rack

Hi Eric,
The total mileage is unknown but small; I have only a few blocks commute to 
work and Seattle has been pretty dry (for us) this winter. In fact, this winter 
is the first either wheel has seen. The rear wheel is the older of the two at 
almost a year old, maybe 10 months. The front wheel is only a couple of months 
old. I was planning on getting some new photos tomorrow. Oh, and why am I 
selling? To help fund a new bike project I've got in the works, and I've 
already got a spare set of wheels set aside for Sam.

[RBW] FS: SON28/LX/Dyad wheelset, B&M lights, Nitto Big Front Rack

[Scot Brooks]

The Son28/LX/Dyad wheelset is 32h front and 36h (135mm spacing) rear. It's 
been ridden, but there's no detectable rim wear. Both wheels are hand-built 
and 700c. *$450*

The lights for sale are the Premium Cyo T Senso Plus (newest Cyo, 80 lux) 
*$70*, and the Toplight Line Plus BrakeTec (rack mount, gets brighter when 
you slow down quickly) *$35*

The Nitto front rack is the same one Riv sells, the big one. It's in great 
shape. I'll sell it with the adapter tabs I had made, which allow it to 
perfectly reach the high braze-ons on my 60cm Sam. *$140*

Shipping will be true cost, or none if you pick-up in Seattle.

[RBW] Re: Alba vs. Bosco

[Scot Brooks]

Matt,
The only thing I've been missing since putting Albas on one bike (actually, the 
Soma copycat) is a nice flat section which I liked on the drops. The Bosco has 
it, but the hook section of the Alba is still nice enough. It's good, or good 
for me, to have the option of stretching out a little. I think the Bosco would 
be awesome on the super long Appaloosa but that's just speculation since I 
haven't ridden it. I already have a 12cm on my Alba bike so I couldn't go much 
farther.

[RBW] Re: Alba vs. Bosco

[Scot Brooks]

Thanks for that comparison, Dave. I'm sure we all appreciate the effort. I 
was in the "maybe I should've gotten a Bosco" camp, but that was before I 
knew there was such an extreme difference. Sweet Rawland, by the way :)

[RBW] FS or trade in Seattle: Almost new 700x45c Marathon Greenguards

[Scot Brooks]

These are originally from Riv, the ones they called 47-622, but it looks 
like they don't have them any more. I've had them on my bikes twice, for 
maybe a week each time. They have really low mileage as far as Marathons 
go. They fit on a Sam, but not *really *with fenders. They also fit on a 
Soma Double Cross but definitely not with fenders. 

Originally $42 each, but you can have both for $40 or trade me something 
cool. Local only, please.

[RBW] A small sample of air volume data. Add more if you like.

[Scot Brooks]

Just for fun, I thought I'd count the pumps it took to get me to 65psi on two 
different tires I have. Not terribly accurate, but telling. The pump is a 
Lezyne CNC something or other floor pump. The tires are 700x47c Marathon 
GreenGuards that Riv sells, and 700x35c Soma New XPress (terracotta color if 
that matters). 

I pumped up both the Marathons in 60 pumps, and the Somas in 39 and 41 pumps 
respectively. There's not a whole lot of data here, but the approximate 
difference is total air volume is kinda fun to think about. Both are pretty 
comfy anyway, and the Somas are a cool tire being that they fold and look quite 
nice.

[RBW] Strange happenings out there

[Scot Brooks]

There are still places where the practical side of bicycling has a place, and 
here in Seattle we're lucky to be one of those places. We have a for-real 
Rivendell dealer (Free Range Cycles) that also carries Surly, Rawland, and VO. 
There's also 2020 who have awesome used stuff and a great "do what works" 
attitude. Bicycle Pull Apart is a cool shop that looks like it belongs in a 
post-apocalyptic world. Elliot Bay Bicycles deserves a mention since Bill 
Davidson (one of the owners) is one of the long time masters of steel and he 
makes wonderful, practical customs. He's a little racy, but hey, love him 
anyway.

I also get the impression Minneapolis has things well under control with Jim 
Thill's shop (just got a great set of Dyads built by Jim himself. Thanks Jim!)

Having said that, I used to live in the racing wasteland of Southern California 
and had an awful time wandering in the wilderness before I happened across a 
mention of Rivendell on Sheldon Brown's website. If not for that, I'd still be 
miserably doing occasional rides on a bike I hated, imagining that all cycling 
is a brainless workout that's meant to be suffered through.

[RBW] OT: found some great everyday/bicycle riding shirts for tall people

[Scot Brooks]

Just got back from a ride with my lovely new MUSA shorts (which are 
obviously good) and my new favorite summer shirt, the tall version of the REI 
Sahara 
Shirt.
 
The tall version (which is even available in small) is good for not having 
plumbers crack while riding and they have cool fancy vents. They also have 
little straps and buttons that keep the sleeves rolled up when you want 
that. Apparently they're going on sale on Friday according to an REI email 
I got. Sort of a bummer I already bought one, but that's life. Just thought 
it was worth sharing.

[RBW] Let's ride to the Swift Industries camp stove cookery class May 19th

[Scot Brooks]

I'm going to make a little day of it this Sunday and ride along the 
Burke-Gilman Trail from Bothell to Ballard (10 or 12 miles, I think), do 
the camp stove cookery class, and ride back. Mellow pace, scenic ride. 
It'll probably be a good idea to grab lunch in Ballard before the class 
since it'll be torture smelling all that food otherwise (class starts at 
2pm). Anyone want to join in? Here's all the relevant info, including the 
link to sign up for the class. Want to do a longer ride? We could start at 
Marymoor Park instead and take the Sammamish River Trail, maybe doubling 
the distance. Possible (probable) stop at Theo Chocolate for some dark 
stuff on the way back (across from Free Range Cycles).

[RBW] Re: How upright can you get with Alba's/stem combo?

If you go with a short stem, you can get super upright. I had the short 
stem/alba (actually Soma Oxford, but whatever) on my Soma bike and it was 
seriously upright. I went with a longer (12cm) stem on my Riv with the 
Oxfords and it's a totally different feel; I can angle the bars down and 
lean into them now.

Last time I did a round of cotton bar tape was orange with clear shellac on my

you've got a little wiggle room to play with the color if it isn't quite to

Re: [RBW] Saddle bags...do you leave 'em on or take 'em off when out in public?

Hi Minh,
One of my bikes has a large Saddlesack (which we know is pricey, at least 
for me), and the other bike has a Swift Industries Zeitgeist (also not 
cheap for me), but I just don't worry about them. I guess I live in a 
pretty bicycle-centric city (Seattle) so it's maybe a little less likely 
something will happen. I wouldn't leave the bags, or my bike for that 
matter, downtown for any great length of time, but any of the neighborhoods 
I go to for groceries or coffee or whatever give me a vibe that says "your 
bike will be safe, but you better lock it anyway and zip tie the bag...just 
to be extra careful".

Re: [RBW] Saddle bags...do you leave 'em on or take 'em off when out in public?

[Scot Brooks]

One small thing to add that hasn't been mentioned is zip tying through the 
holes of your leather straps and around the saddle rails. I do this as a little 
added precaution. Depending on whether you strap your saddlebag with buckles 
out or buckles hidden, pick the side that would require a would-be thief to try 
and pass the buckle through the bag.

[RBW] FS: 700c Dynamo Wheelset, IQ Fly, Disc Compatible

[Scot Brooks]

Giving it another try. I really have to sell the wheelset this time since I 
just ordered a new non-dynamo set. Front wheel is a Salsa Delgado Cross 
with a Shimano DH-3D72 dynamo hub (32h), the rear wheel is a Sun Rhyno Lite 
with a Shimano SLX hub (36h). They're in great shape, albeit a little 
dirty. The light is a B&M IQ Fly N Plus (the kind with the stand light, but 
not the sensor). The rims are black, just to get that out of the way. Both 
the hubs are disc brake compatible if you have a frame that does that sort 
of thing. 

Anyway, here's what they look like on my bike . 
I'd even be open to making some sort of deal to include the Soma tires you 
see there as well. How about $250 or best offer? I'm in Seattle, but I 
could probably figure out a way to ship these if need be.
