Yes, that’s it! I found this picture searching for it by that name. If someone

I would consider just the dynamo wheel though I'd prefer to sell as a set. I'm 
going to keep the albastache setup for another bike.

Dyno Wheelset - 26” Atlas rim with Rivendell Silver rear hub and SP SV-9 Dyno 
hub (36 rear, 32 front), db spokes - $360
Busch & Miller IQ-X front light and Secula Plus Tail light - $140
Saddle - $110 (like new - cambium natural, maybe 50 miles)
Rear nitto rack - $150

It may take me a few weeks to ship the wheelset and rack as I need to get some 
packaging.

Re: [RBW] Re: FS: Hunqapillar 48cm (76-83 PBH)

[davecstein]

I did run a 650b synergy wheelset that I had from a Sam Hillborne build with 
42mm compass tires. I used those with the cx-70 brakes. They were pretty good 
for road riding, I actually liked that setup a lot. Up to that point my 
comparison was big apple tires for road and mixed terrain riding which I don't 
like as much (vs. the 2.1" smart sams for all trail riding). I eventually sold 
the 650b wheelset and put on some rat trap pass tires which I love. But I 
wouldn't hesitate to run the 650b setup again. Ymmv.

Re: [RBW] WTB: 700c wheelset 130mm and sugino double crank

Yeah the bronze one. I haven't ridden a Legolas but it seemed like it should be 
similar, a 700c  bike (for a short person) that is more road-ish but with all 
the fixings for racks, etc. i road the demo which was pretty fast and spritely

Re: [RBW] Re: Seattle riding weather

[davecstein]

Thanks Shawn, that is what I'm looking for. The summers are so nice and 
tempting, I've been there several times in the summer ;). 

On the DC front, I've spent a lot of time there and have a pretty good idea 
what I'm in for. The winters there can be pretty brutal with several lost 
weekends, months even. However it ends in like March, whereas Seattle seems to 
last through June? 

I guess the whole issue with Seattle is I'm under the impression that the rainy 
weather lasts 9 months out of the year, whereas everywhere else it seems 
limited to 3-4 months for winter (with some serious thunderstorms and 
torrential downpours throughout scattered throughout the rest of the year). Is 
that the case? 

Thanks everyone for indulging me on this, this is seriously helpful as I need 
to start my argument on where to move now with my wife, let it simmer for a 
year or two, then make the jump!

Re: [RBW] Re: Paul brakes recommendation

[davecstein]

Maybe squishy isn't the right adjective then? My concern is I have to pull the 
road levers almost all the way then and even then I feel I am not getting near 
the stopping power I should be compared to my other bikes (mix of canti's and 
calipers and discs). 

Also on the minimotos for anyone that knows, should those be run with road 
brake levers?

Re: [RBW] Re: Possible WTT 48cm Hunqapillar for AHH

[davecstein]

Ha! I saw that yesterday. The price is high and I think I'd want a 52, but I 
may go check it out. I'm actually traveling and it'll be a while before I can 
check it out but funny timing since I almost never see AHH's for sale

Re: [RBW] Re: Possible WTT 48cm Hunqapillar for AHH

[davecstein]

All good questions! I actually have some 650b wheels left over from a Sam I 
briefly owned and have been running those on the hunq, outfitted with compass 
42mm tires. I ran smart sam's on there for a long time and still have them.

I'm looking for something lighter that climbs better than the hunq. My litmus 
test are a few climbs in Oakland including tunnel road. It is noticeably slower 
on the hunq than on my go fast road bike (Gunnar), which would be expected. 
However, given that the hunq was bought to be my primary mountain bike, and is 
no longer serving that purpose, and is in fact seeing way more road miles, my 
hope is that a more road oriented Rivendell would make more sense. The 
hunqapillar is fine as it is, and if there is not going to be noticeably faster 
than I may just stay with that. 

But my initial thought process is that an AHH is comparable in price and resale 
value to my hunq (while having all the fixings for racks, fenders, kick stands, 
etc.), and being lighter and hopefully a little faster, would be a good trade 
if there was one to be had. And I also have a 650b  wheel set with 2 nice sets 
of tires that would fit it nicely. I'm also not really looking to spend any 
money, hence the trade aspect of it.

I feel like I've struck out on finding a 52 or 54 ahh at RBW to test, maybe I 
need to go back and see what is there. This isn't an urgent thing and I'm happy 
riding the hunq and keeping it a long time. But I am very AHH curious ;)

I think 2.25", maybe 2.3". I have 2.1 in the rear and 2.25 in the front. Smart

Re: [RBW] Mount Diablo trails ride

[davecstein]

Yeah absolutely, go check it out on the link below and feel free to post rides 
or join some roses. You'll need to request membership to keep the spammers out 
but I'll approve you right away.

It's pretty small. I started it earlier in the year to meet up with local 
rivendell riders since there seems to be so many. Got a good core group of 
people on there, we get together once a month or so and have a few people that 
post a mix of paced, trail, and s240's. Mostly seems to be east and north bay 
but all are welcome across the bay and whatever bike you ride, rivendell or 
not.

 Would love get a group out there to hit some up. Maybe the 1st weekend of

 I'm looking at three on Bay Area Rides: Mitchell Canyon to the top,

 Let me know if anyone is interested or has some good routes.

Re: [RBW] Re: Bullmoose bars and width, who cut theirs?

[davecstein]

Thanks! My hand position is pretty locked in with the Ervin grips, maybe I'll 
move to bar wrap for a while which gives me area to play with and see how I 
like it.

 Don't cut them. ;-). By today's MTB standards the bars are already narrow.
 
 Move break levers inward so you can just reach them with your index finger 
 from the end of the grip and tape up the rest.
 
 I use the full length of my bars. 
 
 The width is great for descending (and climbing) but make sure you adjust 
 your arms to an elbows out position. Will give lots of control and absorb 
 shocks better.

 Yes, I actually had albatross on these for a while and loved them. However I 
 ended up stealing them for a hillborne build and wanted to try out the 
 bullmoose so bought those and put em on. I like the bullmoose bars so far. 
 Just curious if bars can be 'too wide' and if they should be dialed down a 
 notch for better leverage or control, or leave them wide. and if bike size 
 matters to bar width. I'm 5'7 per the other comment.

 Have you tried Albastache bars? The curve position is narrower and the 
 upright position wider. I ride 80% of the time in the curves, 100% of the 
 single track in the curves. They are road bars, so require a 
 stem/brake/possibly shifter change in diameter. I love mine, though the 
 bullmoose were next on my list to try. I've just no reason to continue down 
 the list. Grin.
 
 With abandon,
 Patrick
