[RBW] Re: Exploration: Make your own pump peg

2023-10-28 Thread Andrew Turner 
Out of the 3 pumps I have, none of them fit this Waterford frame I'm 
building up the way I like, (btw. the rear QR skewer lever and seatube 
cluster as recommended above). So I submit to the group my Campy-Shiv made 
out of the much-unwanted 53t chainring. The cherry on top is that it saves 
me a whopping 8 grams compared to the ol' hoseclamp trick.

As someone who’s had the Neo Retro (& Touring), I definitely miss the 
adjustability, but also love the lack of adjusting. I took a wrench and 
bent the front Mafacs to adjust toe-in and, now that I have the dual 
compound Eagle pads from Kool Stop, I never worry even in a torrential 
downpour. Plus, they look so damned good!

 However, on my 2020 Appaloosa the dropout design prevents a shimano QR

 Curious if a similar design is used on other newish models?

 a long while back: 

 https://rivbike.tumblr.com/post/185595499869/how-to-make-your-own-pump-pegs

 You take a p-clamp, some spacers and modify a Nitto strut and 
 you've got a pump peg somewhere you might not have had one before. 
 Will 
 likes to put his in the rear triangle and you'll notice them mounted 
 this 
 way on a lot of his bikes.  

 [image: tumblr_inline_pt3zzjpbXk1qdvnvk_500.jpg]
 [image: tumblr_inline_pt401jwzC21qdvnvk_500.jpg]

 This is great, I love it, cool hack! But I've always wanted for a 
 version that doesn't require tracking down and destroying a Nitto 
 strut. 
 Riv HQ is probably awash in Nitto struts and they have em poking out 
 of the 
 coffee cans on everyone's desk all over the place. But not so for me, 
 Nitto 
 struts are precious few in my shed. 

 I think I came up with the right shape and this weekend I picked up 
 an electrical ring terminal in the 10-12 size, yellow sleeve. 

 [image: Screen Shot 2023-01-17 at 9.56.39 PM.png][image: Screen 
 Shot 2023-01-17 at 9.56.44 PM.png]

 Holding the ring end with one pair of pliers you can easily remove 
 the yellow sleeve with a second pair of pliers. A pack of 15 is $4.50. 
 If 
 your local hardware store has a bulk/loose hardware section you can 
 get one 
 for around 55¢ (at least I did). 

 Paired with a 3/8" insulated cable clamp (2 for $2.20), a few 
 serrated brake washers, an M5 bolt and a nylock nut I had a fashioned 
 a 
 pump peg. Didn't have to cut or shape any metal or destroy any 
 high-end 
 Japanese rack struts.

 Absent a pump peg mount I do think that using the QR skewer is the 
 best, so elegant and minimal. I read about that on iBOB and it really got 
 me. Then I forgot about it. I'll have to see if I can make that work. 

 Wes: It's not necessarily better! It's just an idea I executed to see 
 if it would work. I definitely prefer the brazed-on pump peg. That said, 
 there might be some interference between the front derailer cable and the 
 pump when mounted behind the seat tube. I actually can't tell. Haven't had 
 any shifting issues but I can't get a good line of sight and have been too 
 lazy to crawl under the bike or flip it over to truly investigate.

I like the QR idea.

However, on my 2020 Appaloosa the dropout design prevents a shimano QR 
lever from easily closing at an angle other than forward or backward, 
approximately level to the ground.

Curious if a similar design is used on other newish models?

 You take a p-clamp, some spacers and modify a Nitto strut and you've 
 got a pump peg somewhere you might not have had one before. Will likes to 
 put his in the rear triangle and you'll notice them mounted this way on a 
 lot of his bikes.  

 [image: tumblr_inline_pt3zzjpbXk1qdvnvk_500.jpg]

 This is great, I love it, cool hack! But I've always wanted for a 
 version that doesn't require tracking down and destroying a Nitto strut. 
 Riv HQ is probably awash in Nitto struts and they have em poking out of 
 the 
 coffee cans on everyone's desk all over the place. But not so for me, 
 Nitto 
 struts are precious few in my shed. 

 I think I came up with the right shape and this weekend I picked up an 
 electrical ring terminal in the 10-12 size, yellow sleeve. 

 [image: Screen Shot 2023-01-17 at 9.56.39 PM.png][image: Screen Shot

 Holding the ring end with one pair of pliers you can easily remove the 
 yellow sleeve with a second pair of pliers. A pack of 15 is $4.50. If your 
 local hardware store has a bulk/loose hardware section you can get one for 
 around 55¢ (at least I did). 

 Paired with a 3/8" insulated cable clamp (2 for $2.20), a few serrated 
 brake washers, an M5 bolt and a nylock nut I had a fashioned a pump peg. 
 Didn't have to cut or shape any metal or destroy any high-end Japanese 
 rack 
 struts.

I made a pump peg for one of my bikes out of an old spoke. The pump was a 
little short for the quick release trick, plus using the quick release 
trick can have the handle of the pump fill up with water in the rain. The 
pump never fell off, even while on rough fire roads.

Link to picture of the 
spoke: 
https://flickr.com/photos/boxdogbikes/8411567035/in/album-72157632624461687/

I also made a little pad to cushion the pump down at the dropout as I had a 
campy head on the pump.

Re: [RBW] Re: Exploration: Make your own pump peg

2023-01-18 Thread Eric Marth 
I like these solutions Nick, Kim and Andy. 

Absent a pump peg mount I do think that using the QR skewer is the best, so 
elegant and minimal. I read about that on iBOB and it really got me. Then I 
forgot about it. I'll have to see if I can make that work. 

Wes: It's not necessarily better! It's just an idea I executed to see if it 
would work. I definitely prefer the brazed-on pump peg. That said, there 
might be some interference between the front derailer cable and the pump 
when mounted behind the seat tube. I actually can't tell. Haven't had any 
shifting issues but I can't get a good line of sight and have been too lazy 
to crawl under the bike or flip it over to truly investigate.

I'm a big proponent of using the rear quick release as the peg and stuffing 
it between the seat-stay and seat-tube. Much cleaner. I add some elastic 
paracord as added security down near the QR.
