Hi, folks.

Bummer about the SimpleOne not coming out till next year... but...

I have an orange 62cm Quickbeam for sale or trade.  Does anyone have a
nice orange 60 they'd consider trading?  Alternatively, if anyone's
interested in it, send me an email. I'm off to the Bay Area on
Saturday (that's the plan!) and I could bring it up. Asking $1100.

Regular QB build... but with Mavic MA3 rims, White Industries 17/19
cog, SKS fenders and MKS pedals.  I'll keep the saddle and Mini front
rack.  The Zugster is not for sale - the wait list is 3 years!!!

I'd prefer to sell it locally (So Cal or Bay Area)... but welcome
offers or inquires from around the country!

Whatever that is, I am unable to download it, so I suspect it's a
video.   Let me see if I understand things correctly:

1) To shift chain rings up front, you need to take the rear wheel off,
then move the chain with your fingers.

2) You can also shift gears in the back by flipping the rear wheel so
that the cog on the non-drive side is now on the drive side.

Is that right?

You don't need to take the wheel off to switch gears up front, just
loosen the QR.   Can do the same for the rear if you are running a
dual-cog freewheel such as the White Industries DOS ENO.

Re: [RBW] Re: Its a 64! QB for sale!

2010-04-03 Thread Ray Shine
Here's how the stock QB works.  To change up or down, do this: Dismount, and 
stand to the left side. With right hand, loosen the quick release enough to 
allow the axle to slide forward or backward.  Do not remove wheel. To change to 
a low gear, place your right foot behind the rear wheel and push the bike back. 
This slackens the chain. With left hand, reach down and place chain on small 
chain wheel. Place right foot in front of rear wheel and push the bike forward. 
Take a moment to carefully center the rear wheel between the chain stays, then 
re-tighten quick release.  Ride away.  Do the opposite to change back.  With a 
little practice, a gear change will take less than a minute.

If you have a dual freewheel on the drive side, as many of us do, use the same 
procedure above to place the chain in the combo that you want.  Some of us also 
have a single larger free on the flip side.  To get there, use the above 
procedure, but you must remove the wheel and flip it around.

This procedure also works if you have a fixed sprocket on the other side...
;^)

The _advanced_ trick when flipping is to not touch the chain - works for me
about 3 out of every four times.

- Slacken the chain as per Ray's earlier instructions, dropping it off the
front chainrings onto the bottom bracket shell (I've wrapped protective
clear tape around mine). Oh, and you did release the brakes first, right?
- Let the rear wheel wheel come out to the ends of the fork ends, then grasp
your bike frame at a balance point and lift up, leaving the front wheel on
the ground. 
- Take the rear wheel all the way out.  As it clears the fork end, angle it
so that the chain catches on the opening of the fork end. This is your chain
hanger for the next minute or so.
- Move the rear wheel down and forward (towards the front of the bike).
This will let you de-attach-ify the chain from the sprockets.
- Clear the wheel from the rest of the bike.  Spin the wheel around to
reverse it using your personal expressive style.
- Lean the bike away from you, so you can work the other sprocket back onto
the slack chain (still not hitting the ground with the chain, right?)
- Lift the chain back out of the fork end.  It should be on the sprocket
teeth.
- Set the rear wheel into the fork end.

At this point you need to grab the chain to prevent it from getting wedged
between tire and chainstay, slacken the system and loop it back over the
correct front chainring. Tighten up, check alignment, tighten down and roll
away.

Hop off, release the wheel, slide it forward, move the chain over with
one's digits, tension the wheel, brakes stay aligned a-la QB design,
and you got yourself a touring 2-speed.

And I must say I miss my Quickbeam!  Just thinking today how much I would
like to ride it.

 Hop off, release the wheel, slide it forward, move the chain over
 with
 one's digits, tension the wheel, brakes stay aligned a-la QB
 design,
 and you got yourself a touring 2-speed.

[RBW] Re: Its a 64! QB for sale!

2010-04-02 Thread Esteban
Joe... I'll be in the Beast Bay.  Martinez.  We're driving up
tomorrow.  I might stop by Riv HQ in the afternoon.  Send me an email
if you're poking around.

I wonder if there's a good market up there and if its worth bringing
the QB up to get a local sale.  Are there tall people up there?

  OK!  64cm for sale.  Asking $1K without the DOS freewheel (with the

  Email offers, tall ladies and gents.

   interested in it, send me an email. I'm off to the Bay Area on
   Saturday (that's the plan!) and I could bring it up. Asking $1100.

   Regular QB build... but with Mavic MA3 rims, White Industries 17/19

   I'd prefer to sell it locally (So Cal or Bay Area)... but welcome

Esteban,
C'mon, we Norcals are all 6'+ in stature, you know that. Either way,
bring yer QB (or no), but- bring along something with two wheels,
regardless!

When do you think you'll be here (2040 N. Main)? Impromptu
Riv-ride(+friends, lurkers, hangers-on), anyone?
