Re: [RBW] Re: Single Speed (QB/SO/RU..) Questions

[Scott G.]

Velocio was inventor of the floating chain, Blake rode with him in 1913 an 
became a convert 
to the floating chain. Velocio abandoned the floating chain in 1919.
Blake wrote an article in the CTC Gazette in 1915 promoting the floating 
chain, in comparison 
to the BSA 3 speed hub. The Brits of the era considered derailleurs a 
French plot to destroy 
good English cycle chains by running them in a less then perfect straight 
line.

Source VCC Cycling History #3, Vernon Blake.
Which includes a Cycling article from 1919, showing how to setup a floating 
chain bike,
nicely illustrated.

Who needs sticks or tin cans, you can make a floating chain drive train,

 Patrick, I'm not sure what you are asking. You've got some kind of 
 single speed cassette hub on your Monocog.  What do you want to buy?  Are 
 you looking to buy a different cassette body that you will install into 
 your existing rear wheel to carry two cogs?  Or are you looking to buy a 
 different rear hub?  Or a different rear wheel?  

 The easiest thing may be to just run a "normal" geared rear wheel and 
 run the needed stack of spacers along with two cogs to get you what you 
 want.  I'm running three cogs on a short Capper cassette on one of my 
 120mm 
 rear end bikes, but I don't think your Monocog is a 120mm bike.  I imagine 
 there are a number of ways you could run two cogs on your Monocog.  You 
 would just need to decide that you are going to do it and start spending.  
 Given that you've been looking to replace the Monocog with a custom, maybe 
 your gearing solution should be integrated with your frame choice.

So drop the 11t for 7s, voila 13-42, the 42 cog is alloy.

The Harris page has the specs on the first batch of Atlantis.

Geometry is a bit different in several of the sizes.

[RBW] Re: Atlantis evolution?

[Scott G.]

The first version had curvy chain stays (starlight?), steeper head angle 
and less rear tire clearance.
2nd version had chain stays with one curve, more tire clearance, and  plus 
.5 degree on the head angle.
Both were Toyo built.

[RBW] Re: Who likes the original Atlantis?

[Scott G.]

I had a Mark 1, the Toyo built version with starlight stays,
tire capacity was bit smaller and head angle a bit steeper.

Yes, I'd like to have one again, the old one was stolen.

Engineers speak of "creeping elegance", in bike terms, if you are ever

[RBW] Re: Things I Regret: Beausage on Vacation

[Scott G.]

Plastic bags first, then some packaging stretch film, them some clear 
packing tape
to secure the stretch film. Zip tie  the pipe insulation.
I do the above routine for the seat, and shifty bits on the handlebars.
Carry the tape & film with you on the trip, you can make repairs at rest 
stops.
Think like an Egyptian Embalmer, wrap for the ages.

Rack arm went between the platform and tire, ymmv based on distance between

[RBW] Re: Rivendell e-bike (conversion)

[Scott G.]

I had a Bionx kit installed on an '01 Stumpjumper.
The Bionx has a working regen system, 4 levels of regen,
feels like engine braking in a manual transmission car.
Apply the brake also turns on regen, very Prius like.

On ride of 20 miles with 1500 feet of climbing  uses 10% or less of the 
battery.
The whole ride is 35 miles with 2300 feet, 40% of battery used, the way
back is flatter. This with using some regen level 1 on the flats, and the 
higher
levels on down hills. Bike is rideable in bike mode aka zero assist.

model is P350rx

[RBW] Re: Find your own stick!

[Scott G.]

Does this mean that Riv is planning a Vernon Blake edition of the SimpleOne 
?

From Classic Lightweights.. 

The floating chain systems as used by Blake features a triple chain ring 
and single freewheel on each side of the rear hub. A steel pulley was 
fitted to the rear drop-out which was needed to prevent the chain coming 
off when in low gear.  He also fitted a couple of chain guides to the chain 
stay. Down changes were made with the toe and up ones via a small metal 
hook used to pick up the chain. Blake became very expert at this and could 
make changes at speed. (3). He had a solution to one of the problems 
encountered by modern mountain bikers when using the small chainring in 
very muddy conditions: that of ‘chain suck’:

There are cantilevers, then there are cantilevers, ye olde high profile

or Paul Touring setup with the shortest practical straddle cable will
equal or exceed V brakes.  

Cyclocross magazine did the test, hanging a fixed weight from a straddle 
cable
and measuring the clamping force of the brakes using a scale, simple 
repeatable.
The varied the straddle cable length, shorter = more ummphh on low profile 
brakes,
high profile brakes power varied little with different straddle cable 
lengths.
Bravo to the magazine for doing quantifiable testing.

Wait 500 miles, then they're easy to remove, wear is your friend.
When installing a new SRAM chain, use the old master link to figure out

Once you are happy with the chain length, use the new link.
Take the old link and tape it to business card and put in your saddle bag.

Re: [RBW] Re: Lights for a Schmidt SON28?

I used the Cyo in moderate rain with no problem, haven't tried it in the

The skewer end mount setup makes the wheel, light and mount one piece,
easy to move from bike to bike, no wires to disconnect.

I used to used to setup a dedicated night bike for each winter, being able 
to
swap the light system easily let me ride the 'nice' bike occasionally during 
winter evenings.

note, the E3 Pro  is available with a spot beam or the Edelux style auto

 I keep thinking that I ought to get a multispeed rear wheel for at least one
 of my fixies, but it would be a hub gear wheel that I could, largely, just
 shove in the dropouts and ride.

Sturmey AW hubs are at the local Goodwill, you just have to haul away
the bike.

I had a Trek 412 setup with an AW for a while, the gearing is not as
dumb as you'd
think, at least for a club rider. The evil neutral problem would show
up sometimes.

The current AW-NIG, have no neutral.
A Rohloff grade FM hub, that actually would stay in low gear would be
great.
