Re: [RBW] Re: 55 cm Platypus on Amtrak

[Timothy Hurley]

On the Amtrak trains in the DC/NYC/Boston corridor you have to take the 
front wheel off and hang the bike on a hook. I'm not sure if it's the same 
everywhere, but fenders might be more of a problem than a long bike. I can 
second that the conductors don't care about the dimensions of your bike 
unless it's something crazy.

 Hi! Quick question. I was looking at Amtrak and I know my 55 Platy is 
 too long - it’s like 74” and the max for Amtrak is 70”. However, if you 
 are 
 rolling the bike on board, are they really very strict? I ask because it 
 would be great to ride the train home from New Buffalo back to Kzoo after 
 the wrap-up of my tour on Saturday. I have never ridden Amtrak, so I don’t 
 know what the setup is inside the train cars. 

 If anyone has successfully wheeled a longwheelbaser onto Amtrak, let me 
 know. 

 Yes, yes, I know this is what my little purple pocket Platy is for, but 
 that bike would not be my choice for a 106 mile road ride. I want my 700c 
 wheels with the 42mm tires!

[RBW] Re: Upgrade to Sam Hillborne from a Surly Corss-Check?

[Timothy Hurley]

I’ve had a Sam Hillborne for 11 years and have ridden a Cross Check a bunch of 
times. I agree they are functionally very similar, but the way they feel is 
night and day. There’s nothing bad about the way the Cross Check feels, but the 
S.H. is the most comfortable yet quick bike I’ve ever ridden. It’s like a fast 
moving easy chair. All this being said, Cross Check is a great bike too.

[RBW] Quick introduction and Clem parts questions

[Timothy Hurley]

In my experience almost all lower end (cheaper) Shimano parts work really well. 
That Altus derailer is great, the standard MTB levers are great, there are 
cheap thumb shifters that work great, the cheaper v brakes are great. Splurge 
on nice tires and a nice saddle. Go budget with everything else. This is, 
obviously, just my opinion.

[RBW] Re: Black cyclists

[Timothy Hurley]

I don’t think anyone is calling anyone out. People need to be able to talk 
about race. As long as it’s done in a self aware and thoughtful way, I think 
it’s a positive thing. Saying race doesn’t matter is, generally speaking, a 
viewpoint that’s easily held when you are a member of the dominant racial 
group. Also, I’m not calling you out or trying to start an argument or 
anything; I’m sure you’re coming from a good place just like the other posters.

Cheers,

[RBW] choco norms

[Timothy Hurley]

I’m a tourer/camper and have chocomoose bars on a SH and an old Trek 950. I 
love them. I get three good grips fur sure, but the normal grip is very comfy 
so I rarely switch it up. They are my favorite bars so far. Mildly agressive 
but super comfortable. The bullmoose version feels (obviously) really solid; 
great for any trails or rough stuff. I can’t say how they compare to drops 
though, it’s been years since I rode drops.

[Timothy Hurley]

Erik, 
Buy one of the demo Hunqs. I’ve never seen one in real life, if you get one 
maybe I’ll see it locked up outside the South Street Whole Foods or something. 
I’d be stoked. I saw a Bombadill locked up outside a South Philly coffee shop a 
few months ago. It was very exciting. Cheap thrills.

What are people's experiences with a Clem on single track? I'm thinking about

parts over from an 80something Trek 950 I use as a trail bike. I don't really 
leave the ground or do anything too fancy, I only ride over logs small enough 
that the chainring clears.

[RBW] Beartown Mountain Overnight, Cheviot, Rain, Question

[Timothy Hurley]

Gravel and Grind in Fredrick MD did their "turkey vulture" gearing to my bike 
(canti Sam) and I love it. I already had a triple up front, so they added an 
extender to my rear derailed, some extra chain links, and a cassette with a 40 
tooth grant gear. I can get up crazy steep hills without struggling at all. 
Plus I thought it was funny to spend money make to make my bike slower.

Hello all,
   Does anyone have experience with ChocoMoose bars on a Sam? I'm wondering if 
the grip area sits level or tilts slightly downward. They seem like my ideal 
bars, but it's a big investment without being able to test them out. Any 
opinions or thoughts would be helpful. Thank your!

[RBW] Re: Sam Frame Spacing

[Timothy Hurley]

Bill, thank you for taking the time to give such detailed advice. What you said 
makes sense. I measured everything, flipped the wheel and measured again. 
Everything was the same both times. So I've established the wheel (it's true) 
is dished corrrctly and thus not the problem.

The wheel was correctly seated in the dropouts both times. Everything was 
centered at the seat stays both times. And both times the wheel was almost 
touching the right chain stay yet had plenty of room on the left side.

The only thing I can figure is that there's an issue with the frame. Everything 
looks straight and I've never crashed it anyhow. This bike has searved me very 
well over the years and rides great so it's really only a problem if I wanted 
to put 40mm or up tires on it. I was happy with 35's until I discovered this 
group last year! Haha

Thank you again for helping me obsess about my bike.

[RBW] Sam Frame Spacing

[Timothy Hurley]

Hi all,
I have a 1st year Sam (canti brakes, green paint) and I recently noticed 
that the rear wheel isn't centered between the chain stays (down by the 
kickstand plate). The tire (38mm Marathon) is almost touching the right chain 
stay. Everything is centered between the seat stays up by the brake bridge. I 
can't figure out why this is. Could the wheel be dished in a weird way? Have I 
bent my frame over years of overbiking? Any suggestions or ideas would be 
appreciated. Thank you!
