[RBW] Re: Advice Needed: Best Remedy for a Slipping Hunqapillar Seatpost

2020-02-25 Thread John Phillips
   Thanks again to everyone, I did learn quite a lot from you all, which 
made this more fun than aggravation.

   I solved this problem with a Surly Brake hanger. Kind of a tight fit 
length-wise, but it works. I checked out everyone's suggestions once again 
before going forward, but it was simply a matter of the longer Nitto brake 
cable hanger being too wide and too thick to fit between the bolt and the 
seat tube.

Thanks!

John

'Twas a time that builders used special bolts in seatpost binders. They
were a socket and bolt combo that fit through holes in the seat lug tabs.
One side was free to spin (the bolt side) and the other side (the socket
side) had a key on the collar that fit into a slot cast into the lug to
prevent it from turning.

Those slots are there for the "key" on the socket side of the seatpost bolt
arrangement. One could choose which side to put the keyed socket in I
guess, but you'd never use both keyed sides at the same time or you would
be able to tighten the seatpost binder.

This is my AHH, which had Paul Racers brazed on.


 
I used the Surly hanger at the suggestion of the builder. He told me it was 
the least likely to interfere with the seat lug and a lot cheaper than 
brazing on a dedicated stop along with the re-paint.

2020-02-19 Thread Clayton.sf
Getting a longer binder bolt and using a Mafac hanger might be another 
solution as it bolts to the outside rather than into the slot. Like this 
one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/291709320587.

Or get a longer bold that sticks our a little and bolt the Nitto hanger to 
the side. This will put the brake cable at an angle but depending on frame 
side it might not matter much. 

Personally, I'd just get a new frame.

Hi, 
 Yes, the outer edge of the long Nitto rear hanger nearly reaches my 
27.2mm seatpost within the seat tube slot no matter what angle it hangs 
from the M6 bolt. It wouldn't be able to cam the slot in the seat tube open 
because it is already in the slot.

  I checked the seat tube on my AHH, which is using the smaller Nitto 
hanger, and if I needed to tighten the seat binder bolt a hair more, I 
would have the same problem with my AHH as well.

Follow-on thought question :

Does/did Riv use the same seat-lug (the "basic hardware/bolt-nut") -
for both 27.2 **and** 26.8 seatpost-sized frames? Perhaps that's the
key to the problem, that the Nitto hanger is incompatible on 26.8
frames using this lug?

I believe one **possible source** of this issue **IS** the Nitto cable
hanger itself --

On many Riv frames it fits "just fine" between the ears of the seatlug
-- but, on some, when you tighten down the post -- it actually catches
between the ears and cams the tube back open just enough to cause the
seatpost to slip.

I agree that while canti frames should include an integrated cable
stop, the rise of V-brakes makes the proper design treatment
ambiguous!

[RBW] Re: Advice Needed: Best Remedy for a Slipping Hunqapillar Seatpost

2020-02-19 Thread Garth


First of all, leaving off the rear brake bridges for bikes that have canti 
studs is just plain stupid  dumb dumb dumb. 

Before you go about anything John you gotta know if the post stays put 
without the hanger. 

If the post still slips you have either an irregularity in the seatpost or 
frame. Do measure with digital calipers. 

If the post stays put w/o the hanger, don't go filing the inside of the 
seapost clamp, just don't  repeat ... repeat  repeat.  I would 
measure the thickness of the Nitto hanger and compare it to the gap. Filing 
"some" off is a slippery slope, you may be better getting a different one. 

As mentioned try either the Surly hanger or the Origin8 one.  I use the 
Origin8 one on the front of one of my bikes and I found the brake works 
better having the hanger so close to the brake as opposed to way up at the 
headset.  The rear is no different.

2020-02-19 Thread David B
John,
I think what you laid out in your initial post are the the permanent 
solutions. To confirm - your seatpost fits correctly and wouldn't slip if 
the brake hanger were not there, correct? The issue then is that the brake 
hanger is interfering with securing the seatpost fully.
If so, filing the frame slot or swapping brake hangers are your options.
I've filed the seat cluster/slot of my Redwood when I put in centerpull 
brakes - I had the same issue you're having. I do think that finding a 
thinner brake hanger (the Surly one is the thinnest option I've seen) or 
going with the Funky Monkey would be an easier fix.
Alternatively, you could switch to v-brakes and not have a need for a 
hanger.

Sorry for jumping into this a bit late, but I’ll just add that the mechanics I 
have spoken to about slipping seatposts would *never* recommend friction paste. 
If your post is slipping, there is something going on that shouldn’t be “fixed” 
with friction paste. That’s like putting a band-aid on a broken arm.

When I had this problem on a bike recently (Soma Saga), the fix involved 
removing a tiny amount of excess material on the inside of the seat cluster 
that was preventing the seat post from being properly gripped. A few minutes 
with a file fixed the problem.

Hi Everyone,
   Thank you for all your suggestions.

My 27.2 Nitto S83 seatpost is snug enough in the seat tube to stay put 
at a given height if there is only a very, very thin film of grease, so I 
suppose the friction paste might work. How clean does the seat tube need to 
be of grease for the friction paste to work? And how did you degrease the 
interior of the seat tube?
   
   With the seatpost in the seat tube, and no binder bolt present, I have a 
total of about 0.5mm of play between the hanger and the edges of the slot 
in the seat tube. I'm kinda leary about grinding a bit too much off of the 
brake hanger, because if I weaken it too much, I would worry about the 
hanger snapping while braking downhill on a dirt road.

So far, switching to something like the Paul Funk Monkey brake hanger 
seems like it might the the easiest route? Or am I missing something?

Thank you everyone for your help and suggestions,

John

I third the idea of trying friction paste on the seat post to help your 
slipping seat post as long as it is the right size seat post.  You might 
also try a thinner cable hanger such as a surly brake hanger since you are 
hitting the seat post with your Nitto brake hanger:

If it is a 26.8 you may be able to flex hone the ST to get a 27.2 in there
