Re: [RBW] New bike day! Apppaloosa!

2016-06-14 Thread Reed Kennedy 
Sure thing Patrick. At the moment I've finally managed to patch a hole in
one of the tires and have just gotten the air to stay inside. Current plan
is to test them over the next week and a half and then ride them on the
West Point Inn Riv Ramble if they hold up. Once I get home from that I
should have enough miles on them to form at least an initial opinion. I'll
try to remember to write up some impressions.



Best,
Reed

 I finally got my Appaloosa together!  I'm really enjoying this bike!
 The main thing I love about it is the lower bottom bracket height.  It's so
 stable and comfy.  I built it up with a mish-mash of parts: some new, some
 from my cyclocross bike, some from the ebay, some from the shelves at the
 LBS!  I'm running 35mm tires now because that's what I have, but I'm going
 to go fatter soon!  After wanting a Rivendell for 10 years, I am thrilled
 to have one!

 Parts list:
 Paul neo-retro brakes and paul levers
 Sugino x White Industries cranks
 VP Vice pedals
 Wolf Tooth 94bcd x 32 tooth narrow wide chainring (really low gearing!)
 Sunrace 9 speed thumbshifter
 Nitto dirt drop stem with albatross bars

I'll be very interested to hear your impressions of the improvement in ride
between tubed and tubeless. In my very limited experience with 1.35 mm
Kojaks, going from tubed to tubeless (light but otherwise standard butyl
tubes) is almost like swapping said Kojaks with tubes for Compass Elk Pass
extra lights with tubes.

Gorgeous bike! And yeah, give the fatties a try. I didn't have much fun in
traffic with the heavy 700 x 2.15" Marathons that Riv likes so much, but
when I put a set of Schwalbe Big Ones on, wow! They still spin up nice and
quick, and I feel like a human hovercraft.

Just converted them to tubeless last night, thanks everyone here on the
list for advice. We'll see how that works today!
