Re: [RBW] Re: Beausage Reminder
I was just out swapping handlebars (thanks Hugh!) and had to pull a Wald basket to do it. I noticed that the stays on this basket are definitely different than the ones on the bike that collapsed on me. Those stays had a much larger (~four inch) flat section with multiple hub drillings on the end of them. That's where it buckled on me. The newer kind that I was just looking at have a solid curved stay all the way down to the single hole at the end. I'm presuming they are much stronger. On Sun, Apr 5, 2015 at 12:18 PM, Patrick Moore bertin...@gmail.com wrote: I can vouch for the truth that the Wald Newsboy doesn't sway; it's very secure. As to how the bike handles with such a basket on it, with load, that depends on the bike. I once put one on a Schwinn World Tour and loaded it with 2 cinderblocks, which fit very well in respect of volume. I actually managed to ride the bike a block before quitting in terror -- simply keeping the rear wheel on the ground was hard. But the basket didn't sway; the problem was grossly biased weight distribution and horrible things done to the steering. On Sat, Apr 4, 2015 at 11:57 AM, ian m darkgizz...@gmail.com wrote: Will, how is sway from a heavy loaded front basket a function of bicycle geometry? Seems to me it's more a function of the way the basket attaches to the bicycle, which are two points near the stem and two point at the front axle, which doesn't make for a particularly laterally stiff design. Similar to the American newsboys of yesteryear, the French porteur's carried heavy loads of newspapers on the front of their bicycles, but with stiffer steel racks. In my experience a heavy load on a one of these racks is much easier to handle with all other aspects (wheel strength, pneumatic cushion) remaining the same. A basket attached to the rack as on the Hunqapillar recently posted on Riv Blug is like the best of both worlds, especially since heavier loads can be attached by pannier closer to the front wheel's axle. On Saturday, April 4, 2015 at 9:10:11 AM UTC-7, Will wrote: Not my experience. We routinely carried between 65-70 newspapers in the Wald front delivery baskets. And loaded the back baskets on Sundays when the papers were twice as large and heavy. Never a problem. Swaying is a function of bicycle geometry, wheel strength (spokes+dish), and pneumatic cushion. Our paper bikes looked a lot like these... http://www.worksmancycles.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/indbikes.html When you look at the industrial newsboy you will note both baskets (front and back) are angled towards the frame center. You will also note the head and seat tube angles and chain stay length. That's the way to keep load distribution inside of the axles. If the balance point creeps outside the axle, you have major vibration issues. The bike shimmies, wobbles, and is hard to steer.

Re: [RBW] Hypothetical 2nd Wheelset
If you're not really carrying much, the Synergies are probably heavy enough to go with the Caz. That said, how about a fourth option: -Lighter with BBShoe for fast recreational rides -Current Synergies/dynamo with Hetres for commuting/all-roundering -A third inexpensive front wheel (Deore/Synergy?) with a Cazadero on it for dirt. Then swap out from Hetre to Cazadero on the existing rear wheel. Still a bit of a hassle, but probably won't be doing it too often. And it saves the dynamo hub from off-road abuse it probably doesn't need.

Re: [RBW] Re: Beausage Reminder
Matt, in my experience, the Wald basket stays aren't as strong as the Nitto rack. I think you get what you pay for. Plus their handlebar mounting clamps are kinda' kludgy (says the guy using zip ties to hold the basket on). FYI, Boulder has the 32F at a much better everyday price: http://boulderbicycle.bike/Bags-and-Racks/Nitto-Racks-and-hardware/Nitto-Campee-32F-Campee-front-rack-New-Lower-Price.html On Sat, Apr 4, 2015 at 5:27 PM, 'hangtownmatt' via RBW Owners Bunch rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com wrote: Jim, What you say makes sense.

Re: [RBW] Curious addition to the Atlantis page on rivbike.com (maybe only interesting to the kinda tall)
You're in the unique position to be able to find out in person!!! On Thu, Apr 2, 2015 at 10:14 PM, James Warren jimcwar...@earthlink.net wrote: A few years ago, when the 64 cm Atlantis went away, some people took notice. Since then, there have been times when it's been speculated that you could still get a 64 even though the website says 61 is the largest. But I wasn't sure if it was just rumor, although there was that one picture of a larger Atlantis with a double top tube sometime in the past year on the Blug. Tonight I noticed for the first time that the bike's description on the website has a slight addition. The text description still says the bike maxes out at 61 cm. But now there is a geometry chart on there as well that shows it go to 64 cm. With the 64 cm, it specifically says two things that are different from the days when 64 was offered standard (made at Toyo): 1) the chainstay is now 47 cm instead of 45.5 cm. (By the way, it still says 45.5 cm for the other sizes.) 2) it specifically says the model has a double toptube. Since these are very specific changes, it indicates that the 64 cm listing in the current geometry chart is not just a misprint left there from the old days. So I guess this means the Atlantis 64 is back but it's officially different. -Jim W. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] New flat solution
To add fuel to the fire, this was posted over on the tandem list this morning. Some of those new Compass tires would go great on our tandem, no more worried about flats!!! ... Here's something you might want to consider when planning your next tandem vacation in Europe: According to sources, German authorities are planning to introduce a new law requiring tandems to be registered, insured and equipped with license plates. Currently, electric assist bikes with a maximum motor power of 250 W and a top speed of no more than 25 km/h (15 mph) are considered bicycles while electric assist bikes with a top speed up to 45 km/h (28 mph) require insurance. Now, testing done for the German ministry of infrastructure has revealed that 83.6% of the stokers tested were capable of putting out more than 250 W. Furthermore, only few stokers actually ceased their power output upon reaching 25 km/h. Under the law authorities cannot differentiate between different types of motors, be they fueled by gasoline, batteries or cereal. Thus, in agreement with EU legislation owners of multi-seat bicycles will also be required to purchase insurance for their bikes. To aid families, German authorities are planning to make an exception for family tandems: Tandems permanently equipped with child stoker kits or a shortened seat post will remain free. For more details on the new regulations see http://www.stvu.info/kennzeichenpflicht_tandems.html Tailwinds, Chris P.S.: Should your single bike come with Sheldon Brown's POWerwheels you will most likely also fall under this regulation! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Old Quickbeam
My green QB had a stick on SN. It was from the first batch I believe. I think QBs hold their value the best of any of the Rivendell frames due to their low numbers, uniqueness and continued desirability. There is currently no similar Rivendell frame, so you can't get the updated, tweaked model like you could with a Glorius/Foy/Chevy. The Legolas is the other one that falls into that unique and NLA category.

There is no serial number stamped on the bottom bracket where I would expect to see it. Only the name Rivendell is stamped into the shell. Did QB's have s/n's stamped like other Rivendell's?

The tubes on the Clem sound like they are stouter than the Sam which may or may not be an issue at 300#. Riv could probably clarify both issues.

Re: [RBW] Re: Would you take the lane?
Yeah, the three fingers was probably the only thing wrong in the situation. And what is it with white pickups? Our local elementary has a bike train of kids going in. One day a white pickup driver (possibly the same one as yours, he must get around) freaked out, and starting cussing out one of the adults. This was with his wife and kids sitting in the truck (he was dropping off kids at school). I'm starting a petition to ban white trucks.

There is no serial number stamped on the bottom bracket where I would expect to see it. Only the name Rivendell is stamped into the shell. Did QB's have s/n's stamped like other Rivendell's? Perhaps it is located in a different place? Maybe it was on a sticker?

Re: [RBW] Re: Bike shop mechanics answer this:
Ha! Yes, you're totally correct. I only mention Surly as their otherwise great bikes seem to have that one error. And it's not a QBP thing as Salsa has relatively tall headtubes on even their racey bikes like the Warbird. I'm sure there's a reason for it it, probably that it's easier to add spacers but you can't take it away. As for threadless question... I'm moving pretty strongly into the prefer threadless camp. It seems like a pretty good change away from a good but fiddly design to something that works well for me. Open face stems alone make it worthwhile!

Yes, Rivendell avoids all this with 1 threaded headsets and quill stems but from a mechanical perspective, threadless is really superior. With steel steerer tubes there is no practical limit to how high you can run the bars above the headset. In fact, a high bar setup feels much more solid with a threadless stem than with a quill stem, and headset adjustment is far easier. Of course, as James and others have pointed out, achieving Riv-esque bar height with a threadless setup requires slightly more deliberate choices on the part of the bike designer and bike assembler. With carbon steerers becoming de rigeur on high-end bikes, there is much more of a practical limit on how high you want to run a stem.

Re: [RBW] Re: Hunq vs Clem
That's an awesome overlay! On Thu, Mar 26, 2015 at 1:30 PM, Zed Martinez iamzedmarti...@gmail.com wrote: The Clem is a much more laid back, cruiserish, town bike. Upright is way upright. Stays are extra long. I think it could handle anything, but it wont be quick doing those things. Clearances- easier on the Clem, but similar I haven't touched either in person, so, I can't say with confidence. But, I keep calculating out the geometries on these too, and I think the only thing that really makes the Clem seem more laid back and cruiserish is just that it's how they keep building them. The frame angles are pretty much identical. The head tube might be just a bit more slack, but it's hard to tell since the margin for error when calculating these things from measurements is outside the .5 degree range that matters. The biggest difference is that the Clem has a 1-2cm longer top tube and the longer chainstays. Those don't have to mean cruiser/town. Heck, it looks like the reach from the sit point of the saddle to the stem on the 52cm demo bike built as a townie is exactly the same as on my current camping bike converted from an old road frame with a standard touring stance, despite the old bike I'm using having a much, much shorter top tube. So, I think just looking at the geometries on the frame it ought to be plenty flexible for uses outside just being a cruiser/townie style. Probably still a little more laid back about it, but with a short reach stem and saddle forwards I don't think it'll be that much different. Mostly it just seems like a longer, cheaper Hunq. Heck, that's how I've started thinking about it as I compare the geometries. The poor man's Hunq. I did the best I could to compare the Hunq and Clems at similar sizes. If both of them are running the same size cranks (and since they have the same pedals and /those/ sized to match correctly, I feel they are), this should be a mostly accurate comparison of the two geometries at roughly comparable sizes. It's closer than you'd think seeing them built up as differently as they are. http://zedmartinez.com/samples/clem-hunq.jpg -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Redlands Strada Rossa 2015
It was practically an Entmoot! I think the 50k could be done with a QB fine, presuming you have a high and low gear to swap into. The 40X19 and a 32X19 regular gears I have on mine can handle it all... but, I'd still be going slow and having to stop and change gears a lot. I was considering riding mine, but I had a strange headache that morning, and figured gears would make the morning much more pleasant. I think singlespeeds are great when you're solo, or riding with other singlespeed riders, but when you're the only one in a group of gear-swappers, not as much :-) On Tue, Mar 24, 2015 at 11:15 PM, Philip Williamson philip.william...@gmail.com wrote: QB1@0:32.

Re: [RBW] Re: Redlands Strada Rossa 2015
Jim, thanks so much for that! Glad you were able to backtrack and meet up w/ Doug and Robert. And then go on your excellent adventure with them! The whole intention of this event was to showcase the mixed-surface riding we have, and to you know, have a good time! Success on both fronts! On Tue, Mar 24, 2015 at 10:44 PM, James Warren jimcwar...@earthlink.net wrote: RSR was amazing, everyone! Huge thank you to Cyclotourist David for organizing, for promoting, and for hosting several of us. And to Holly Estes, of course! There was a lot of buildup to the weekend, giving me big expectations, and it still was even better than I was expecting. Highlights: 1) Seeing so many of my friends. 2) Making several new friends. 3) Driving through rush hour Los Angeles Friday, and actually enjoying a 3:45 drive, because I knew what was waiting at the end of it. (Great company, Redlands Gourmet Pizza Shoppe, and a Saturday mixed surface ride.) Having Hugh there to order beer before I arrived. Thanks Hugh! 4) Arriving at the exact same time as Ian, and seeing two of Ian's Rivs get used at the same time and meeting his brother-in-law Paul from Virginia who was riding Ian's AHH. Fun to get to know Paul. 4A) David's breakfast! Soyrizo, Eggs, Bacon, and coffee. 5) Single-track climbing on a Riv 6) Sharing a nice rest-stop conversation with Aaron. Talked some future rides with Esteban and others. 7) Seeing pre-teenagers like Jake just killing it on the trails. One of the best climbers out there. 8) Connecting with Bay Area folks, Philip and Jacquie. Great patches, Phil! 9) Another fun time riding with Doug and Ian and meeting Robert for the first time. Cool Bruce Gordon BLT Robert had! 10) Marveling at Robert's brilliance at getting us unlost when we were fenced in. He saw orange grove adjacent to power plant on the smartphone map and figured there had to be a fence hole at their interface. And he was right! 11) Hangar 24 to celebrate with Doug, Ian, and Robert! Thanks again, Ian! 12) Sitting there at Hangar 24 with our beers, we saw a new-to-us Hilsen guy ride by. 13) We continued our ride and the Hilsen guy was fixing a flat. He had the bike flipped over on the ground. I rolled up and said, Pasadena style? He looked over and laughed. We introduced ourselves. It was forum-member, Richard Rios! New friend! 14) Back at the BBQ, reconnected with Esteban, Hugh, Paul, Phil, Aaron, David, enjoyed a great lunch. Got a pint glass to keep for a $5 beer purchase. Met a few more new people. 15) Being especially fortunate to ride with two different groups during the ride. 16) Amazing people taking advantage of the day. And a few photos: https://www.flickr.com/photos/46035786@N07/sets/72157651544957831/ Really amazing bike weekend. Thanks again, David! -Jim W.

However, in the reader, there is no Manitou fork, and I'm sure it's possible that it's a different bike.) I went back and re-read the Charlie Cunningham interview there after the RSR ride.

That'd be a great road for us to meet up on sometime and ride through to Lake George, or figure out a loop back to Deckers. Amazing country. I plan on riding my QB down to the Platte along 67.

Stiff headwinds and steep climbing requiring LCG (lowest common gear, aka hike-a-bike). Then they were there. Da da DA! My kryptonite. My doom. New telephone poles laid out mile up on mile in the middle of nowhere waiting to be planted, freshly coated with creosote tar and who knows what other horrible scents blowing up in my brain. Despite the winds of 30-40 MPH, the scents clung to an amazing degree. Part of the world-wide conspiracy against me. Sardonic grin. After reaching the crest of one hill I could see them laid out ahead as far as the eye could see and farther than even my schnoz can smell. We turned around, hoping to clear the area quickly between the descents and the tailwind. It worked! But what to do. No cell reception. No access within my daughters stamina to remote trails. There are campgrounds along the Platte River North of Deckers. Let’s find one and make a night of it and then figure out what makes sense in the morning. The ride there went very well. Riding roads with my daughters has gotten so much easier since I’ve told them to ride where the right wheel of the car would be, unless the shoulder is 4’ wide or wider. Cars slow down and go around. Amazing! The campsite was great! No one there (that would change). River to ourselves. Next to the road, but not much traffic. Of course we forgot it is Spring Break and just how close this section of the Platte is to Denver. 1am the revelers arrive. Just as they were talking about building a bonfire, the blessed rain/snow/sleet hit. All became quiet and went to sleep till morning! Thank you Saint Joseph for looking out for my poor noggin! 6am came. Scents from the laundry of the college crowd waft in. We pack in a controlled hurry, hit the road back to Deckers, stopping for breakfast and a welcomed sunrise (and warmth!) at a secluded spot on the river. I decided that was enough flirting with brain overload for me, so after a credit card eating pay phone SNAFU (not to be confused with SMAFU) and bizarre game of phone tag, my wife picked us up and we are home a day early, having had a wonderful time of completely different adventure than we’d set out for. All in all an excellent and fitting start to the bikepacking season!

Re: [RBW] Re: Redlands Strada Rossa 2015
Thanks for the really positive feedback, guys! It was a whirlwind of a weekend, and I'm still buzzing from the endorphins and adrenaline!!! EVERYTHING fell into place, and we had an amazing turnout, and everything I've heard read points to people having a great day! In addition to what you've seen on flickr, there are some great pics linked to the IEBA's FB page that are worth checking out: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Inland-Empire-Biking-Alliance/156207984434074 The BW ones from Kevin F are just perfect! A good chunk of the riders were Rivendell people, and they were perfectly suited for the day. I'm biased, but I think they may have had the best time out there! It's intentionally a mix of riders and bikes to stir the pot and and let the different tribes do some cross-pollination! I had input on the 50k route, but Mark F figured out a way to get a LOT of dirt patches connected together for the 100k portion. The 100k is probably 50-60% dirt, the 50k was significantly lower, maybe 30-40%??? I had it figured out at one time, but we changed routes SEVERAL times over the previous two weeks :-) We have every intention of having a third event next year, so if this looks like something you'd like to jump on and take advantage of the moderate SoCal winter/spring, set your alarms for March 2016!

So if that is the case, you may want to try moving your computer mouse to your left hand (assuming you have a mouse and it's currently on the right) and sit in a chair without armrests. It's amazing how much pressure we can inadvertently put on our elbows and shoulders over a period of time without even realizing it. It might also be helpful to get a tennis ball or grip specific strengthening device and use it daily. Our bodies are not much different than our bicycles in that a small tweak can here and there can make a huge difference in the overall performance. Always be aware of your posture! Personally, I've found that I have less pressure on my hands in a forward lean than I do in a more upright riding position. In an upright position I find that I tend to make the same mistake I do in chairs with armrests, except instead of weighting the elbows and shoulders, I weight my wrists and shoulders. I currently use the Surly Open Bar handlebar. It's is similar to the Albatross except it has a 45 degree sweep instead of a 90 degree sweep. I chose the 45 degree sweep for reasons other than hand comfort but find myself in a lean with my hands in the forward handlebar bends most of the time; primarily to reduce pressure on my wrists. Please don't take this the wrong way because I'm only trying to be helpful. But instead of focusing on the bike ... focus on the engine.

Now I get to leverage my birthday to finally get tires for the lighter 32 hole XT/Synergy wheels. I wanted to set them up to turn the Sam into my only go-fastish road bike for summer riding. I think I have it narrowed down to either 700x35 or 700x32 Marathon Supremes or Compass Stampede Pass (700x32). I was leaning toward the Supreme 32's to be a big difference from the beefy Mondials but, after reading Jan's articles on tire size and pressure I started to think Supreme 35's might be a better choice. The reason I lean toward the Schwalbes is that I've had a long, very positive and almost flatless history with Schwalbe. Of course this wouldn't be a dilemma if I could just talk my wife into buying me the Rodeo in the web specials!

It even shows you which way to slide it. I'm mystified at how anyone could be confused by that. Or how about this very common scenario: phone rings when you're riding. By the time you hear it and stop, it's gone to voice mail. Call voice mail -- if you can actually see the touch screen buttons, which in the bright sun is almost impossible -- and after it rings, it wants your PIN. But, on my phone, by that time the GDMFSOB buttons are gone and there's nothing you can do to bring them back. So, I have to slide out the texting buttons, which are the size of grains of sand and which require a 3 button key press to get ther # sign in order to enter the PIN. Complicated enough for you?

No squinting at sun washed out touch screen buttons or pinching around to try to get text large enough to see. And no $1500 per year cell phone bills for the dubious privilege of being able to do on the road things I would never even want to do.

Re: [RBW] Best 2ish allrounder tire?
I am a huge proponent of multiple wheelsets. I have two wheelsets on two different bikes that I swap, and have zero problem shifting between them. One set is disc brakes which is really easy (swapping between 700X40C and 650X50B). On the rim brake wheelsets, I just make sure the outside rim width is the same on both (23mm) so I don't have to adjust brakes. Swapping tires on the other hand just doesn't happen.

Re: [RBW] Downsizing and emotionally paralyzed...
Tough spot to be in, René. But trust me, I/we feel your pain... I think every couple months how I should sell a bike or two. So far, hasn't happened! As to your situation, I think your biggest overlap is with the Homer 'Lantis. Especially as you can only fit a 40mm tire on the latter. I would say let go of the Atlantis, keeping the Homer, Hunqapillar, and Betty. If you end up not using the Homer, that would be the next one to let go. Looks like Betty is getting used? I love step-throughs, so think it's great that you have one _if you use it_. The alternative is to substitute the Atlantis for the Homer in the above calculus. Tallboy regular or LT? I have a thing for Santa Cruz bikes, even though they're not MUSA. On Fri, Mar 6, 2015 at 6:15 PM, René Sterental orthie...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all, For almost a year, I've been facing the need to downsize the number of bikes that I have for a number of personal reasons. It's an emotional challenge that has me paralyzed, because while my rational mind is anxious to proceed, my emotions get the best of me every time I start debating which bikes to let go and which ones to keep. Therefore, in the hopes of finding out what the interest would be within this group before I post anything on Ebay or Craig's List, I want to list the bikes I have and see who's interested in what. I have no idea of asking price yet, but if you are interested and feel like making an offer, feel free to do so. My goal is to go down from four Riv bikes to just two. I also have two Santa Cruz Tallboy FS mountain bikes that I'm debating whether to keep or sell, mainly because they only made sense to ride with my son, but he's not that interested and if I sell his, I'd have to ride alone or find a group, which doesn't seem to be a high priority right now. Whether one or both stays has nothing to do with bringing the number of Riv bikes down to two. Last, I also have a Bike Friday Lama that I use when I travel for a week on business, which isn't that often now, but which I want to keep for it's flexible use and because it's as fun to ride as the Rivs. Here are my four Riv bikes; you can see images of past and present configurations on my Flickr site: https://www.flickr.com/photos/orthie251/sets/ 1) Hunqapillar 58 with low trail fork and front/rear racks. I may keep the Bosco Bullmoose handlebar currently on it, but have regular Bosco bars that would likely go with it, or the regular Bullmoose handlebar. Steel Berthoud 60mm fenders, brand new custom paint job, etc. 2) Atlantis 61 with low trail fork. Between the Hunqapillar and the Atlantis, I think I'm leaning to keep the Atlantis. It's low trail fork only allows for a maximum tire width of 40mm, and I love how it rides. 3) Homer Hilsen 61, my very first Riv purchase and a bike I ride seldom since I'm losing the weight loss battle for now, but when I ride it, I just fall in love with all over again. 4) Betty Foy 58 with 42mm 650B red Hetre tires and steel Berthoud fenders that were an odyssey to install. I just love how this bike rides, it immediately connects me to being a child and riding, and it's the bike I envision I'd ride when I'm very old. I bought it with the idea that one of my daughters would ride it, but they didn't care to and after I tried it myself, I couldn't let them trash it. Sometimes I feel like keeping the Homer and the Atlantis, sometimes I feel like keeping the Atlantis and the Betty. Sometimes I think that since both the Atlantis and the Hunqapillar have the custom low trail forks (I still have the original ones), those are the ones I should keep. There you have it; apologies for the long post. I'm doing this mostly to build my courage to post two of them for sale and get a feel for the degree of interest in any of them.

Something you need a club for, extra things to buy, something a bit exotic. I believe the core of what Grant says is that it is not something special. It as normal as driving or walking down the street or taking the bus, and in fact those things can often be combined. My impression is that he promotes using the bike as your get around daily tool as much as you can, and that may mean to wear whatever suits the combination of your tasks, not only your bike riding. This is how I experienced life in Europe. But, if you go out for a ride that has no other tasks to it than just riding then I believe you should feel free to dress for the physical exercise involved. In my own case that means bike shorts made of lycra and other more or less bike specific attire as needed for the weather. I just don't see the conflict here. I have several bikes, but I notice that the one I grab all the time is my Hunqapillar, even though I own an excellent German city bike for going to the grocery store. So the Hunq does it all, but I may not wear the same clothes all the time. When younger I would often wear running shoes while walking around town in jeans, but I would never go for a long run wearing those jeans even though I still wore the same shoes.

They often have the means, and they're influenced by what they read and see that promotes racers as a good model -- and that's something I don't agree with. They shop as innocents and come out of it dressed like racers and riding bikes that are not only inappropriate for the kind of riding they do, but are, on top of that and more egregiously, not comfortable. We undo that. You may see ego or evil behind it, but I don't feel either of those. I see racing and racers as fringe and am simply trying to legitimize an alternative point of view, one that I feel strongly about. I'm trying -- certainly not singlehandedly -- to make people feel good about riding without dressing in pro-team gear and copying so many other affectations of the racer, and that is what Unracing and *Just Ride *and Rivendell Bicycle Works is all about.

I understand this approach. The downside of it is that to get it right you must do some trig to keep track of the variation in the tangent force magnitude. The tension in the straddle wire increase the flatter it gets. Of course you never get near the theoretical infinity but it does increase, and to get the right answer from your approach you have to keep track of that and balance it correctly with the variations of alignment with your axis tangent. Please consider another approach that I think is simpler, particularly if you want qualitative insight. Keep the other half of the brake in the back of your mind. It's important because it balances the side forces that are inherent in any feasible straddle cable. In stead of decomposing the cable force into axial and tangent (or perpendicular), go with up and sideways. You do this with both the straddle and the arm. The vertical component of tension in the two halves of the straddle wire must balance the tension in the brake cable. Call the brake cable tension T, then the up force one each brake arm is T/2. This is true regardless of what the straddle cable height is, and that fact is what gives this approach its advantage. Now unless the straddle cable is vertical there will be a side force towards the centerline of the bike. The flatter the cable the larger the force. To get the torque about the pivot post, decompose the brake arm axis into sideways and upwards components (dx and dy if you like). The net torque is the sum of the up force times the sideways offset plus the side force times the upwards offset. The part of the torque from the up force times the sideways offset does not change when you alter the straddle wire height. The part of the torque from the side force times the sideways offset always helps and always get larger when you lower the straddle wire. Q.E.D. Furthermore, if you look at the sideways and upwards offset lengths of different brakes in light of what you know about the forces induced on them by the straddle cable you get an accurate intuitive sense of what is going on. With 720s or Neo-Retros the sideways offset is sizable and the vertical offset is small. Because of this these brakes are relatively insensitive to changes in straddle cable height. With low profile brakes like the Paul Touring model the sizes of the sideways and upward offsets are about reversed. They need the sideways force from the flatter straddle cable to generate significant torque, and the torque you get depends quite a bit on the straddle height. High profile cantilevers do not need a high straddle wire to maximise leverage, on the contrary raising the straddle wire always reduces the leverage. High profile cantilevers need high straddle wires to clear the tire/fender/rack. Luckily the leverage they get is relatively insensitive to straddle wire height so raising the straddle to clear whatever you need to clear is not a problem. On Friday, February 20, 2015 at 10:42:22 PM UTC-8, Z wrote: Ted, Envision one half of a cantilever brake setup. There is an axis between the points where the straddle cable attaches and the brake pivots. We'll call this The Axis. Now envision a force vector along the straddle cable. If you conceptually break down that vector into components which are 1) perpendicular to The Axis and 2) parallel to The Axis, you will realize that any force parallel to The Axis will be working against the rigidity of the cantilever brake mount. So, you really want to maximize former vector component... that is, by applying the straddle cable's force perpendicular (90 degrees) to The Axis. Of course, you want to be maximizing this force vector as the brake pad is touching the rim. It's true that you can apply a great deal of tension to a straight cable by applying a force perpendicular to its axis. However, the theoretical infinite tension doesn't really affect braking when you consider the brake pivots (and the steel frame to which they attach) resisting most of that tension, which is what you would likely achieve with a high profile cantilever and shallow straddle cable angle.

Re: [RBW] Busses/Bike thieves
Veering way OT, but here's video of the best bus driver ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRrnOhlPA0o On Thu, Feb 12, 2015 at 9:22 AM, Ray Shine r.sh...@sbcglobal.net wrote: I won't ID the transit agency that I work for, but part of my job is to monitor on-board video of all rubber-tire revenue vehicles in a major NorCal city. We have video of suspects running into the street in front of a bus, causing it to stop abruptly, then removing bikes and riding away with them into the nearby projects. Another trick is run up behind and pull down the poles on a trolley bus, while a cohort grabs the bike(s) as the operator re-engages the poles. Common places for these thefts are on a down grade because the thief can shoot down the hill quickly and be gone regardless of the gear the bike was left in when racked. I absolutely recommend a U-lock through the rear wheel, but not to the rack That will most likely result in a bent wheel. Once they realize they can't ride it away, it most likely will get thrown down. (Also, if you are so inclined, be very careful about pursuing such a thief into the projects.

Re: [RBW] Re: Kids' Riv-esque Bike
If you don't need gears, a vintage Schwinn Bantam is a great bike: https://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclotourist/4338741715 Could even build it up w/ a 3 speed if so inclined.

Re: [RBW] Re: Kids' Riv-esque Bike
24 is a great wheel size. I rushed my kids a bit to get them onto it, but left them in it a while before moving to 26. It really rolls over bumps and curbs a lot better than 20. Proportionately like a 29er to them as Leslie mentioned! Now scouring CL to find the perfect used 27.5 bike for them! Everything is really high end, or really low end, hard to find the sweet spot with that size. On Thu, Jan 29, 2015 at 8:16 PM, Leah Peterson jonasandle...@gmail.com wrote: I wish!
