Re: [RBW] Hunq Redux

I also run a 139 on front. I think you are going to like it a lot! Don’t
forget to get that camping seat that Riv offers to pad down the front rack
if carrying fragile goods!

[RBW] Hunq max with fenders

[Daniel Jackson]

I’ve run Schwalbe big Ones (now GOnes I think) under fenders for a long while 
on my Hunq. They are 2.35 slicks under the widest sKs fenders made. 

I’ve also successfully run 2.1 Schwalbe Thunderburts under same fender setup.

[RBW] Hunq with rack and v brakes?

[Preston Smith]

Hey y'all!

thinking about experimenting with v-brakes on my 29r hunqapillar, but it 
doesn't really seem worth it if I have to change my rack or take off fenders. 
Any one have any personal experience?

Bike is  is set up with conti X king "2.4" (measure 2.1 on my synergy's), 29r 
cascadia fenders, and a nitto 32f rack. 

Thanks!!

[RBW] Hunq-ish Romanceur build with Riv Bullmoose bars

[Philip Kim]

If you got the money no reason not go Paul's, but TRPs are lighter and have 
dual action calipers which can be adjusted separately. Provides more even wear, 
and you're not essentially bending the rotor to one arm to stop. It can also be 
easily adjusted by the cable barrel adjuster as pads wear. So would go TRPs for 
ease of adjustment, lighter, and even pad wear which puts it ahead but not by 
much. But it's really ahead of Paul's because it's also 1/3 the cost.

[RBW] Hunq-ish Romanceur build with Riv Bullmoose bars

This will be my first time using disc brakes. Have you used the TRPs before? I 
have been leaning toward Klampers, as they'very got reviews for solid stopping 
power and the materials seem better for longevity.

What's the fundamental difference between centerlock and 6 bolt?

Re: [RBW] Hunq-ish Romanceur build with Riv Bullmoose bars

I'll ride it as a MTB, to complement my Hillborne, up mountainous terrain and 
to the mountains from home (a versatile gear range is preferrable). I'don't 
like to take it on the MT section of the Divide trail, or from Kalispell to 
Banff and back at the least.

I plan to run 26" wheels, with 2.3 or so knobbies, probably on Velocity Blunt 
35s, as well as RTPs eventually.

Re: [RBW] Hunq-ish Romanceur build with Riv Bullmoose bars

[Patrick Moore]

What kind of riding will you use the Romanceur for? That will determine
gearing, of course, as well as other setup.

The frame looks well thought out, though I'd be somewhat between sizes as
far as top tubes go. I'll be interested to learn more about your build and
about how it rides.

And, I don't think it's too far OT at all; its Rivendellian or at least
Rivendell-esque, if not a Rivendell.

Drivetrain: If it were *mine*, this is what I'd do (27" wheel). Silver bar
end shifters. But I realize that I'm weird.

[RBW] Hunq-ish Romanceur build with Riv Bullmoose bars

Anyone want to play build designer on my dime?

Apologies if this is off topic (non-Riv frame), but I'm looking for advice on 
building up my Crust bikes Romanceur frame into a Hunq-inspired trail bike. 
(This is sort of a poor-ish man's Riv, but with disc brakes).

So far I've only got the bars and a SUNXCD crankset (46-28, after the 28 was 
mistakenly shipped instead of a 30).

What additional drivetrain parts would you spec?

Re: [RBW] Hunq porteur options?

[Dan McNamara]

I have used both a Haulin' Colin and a Pass & Stow porteur rack. If you want to 
use front panniers without adding more rack hardware the P&S is a great choice. 

Both are good choices and super solid racks. 

I have a P&S on my Cheviot currently. A little tight getting the mount plate 
over the side-pull brake - that would not be an issue with the Hunq, of course.

[RBW] Hunq porteur options?

[Keith Muller]

Jay,

The Surly 24-Pack rack won't work on the Hunq.  I purchased one and tried it.  
To make it work, the rack ends up sitting about 4 inches above the top of the 
tire and the load sits way to high.  Biggest problem is mid-fork eyelets sit to 
high on the Hunq fork.

[RBW] Hunq vs Clem

[Mike Shaljian]

"I don't feel slow on it. I'm not quite ready to go full heavy upright long 
chainstay crazy big tired out yet."

I plan to post a detailed comparison of my new Jones Plus with the Sam 
Hillborne I've had since 2012, but I can say briefly that a bike can be 
long/stout and fast. I have much respect for and lots of happy riding with 
Grant's designs, but I swear Jeff Jones is a goddamn genius. I was blown away 
by how fast the plus is on the road with 60mm Super Motos and it was a nimble 
beast in my first-ever singletrack outing. 

Haven't done any timed comparisons on my gravel loops, but I would estimate I 
can easily trim my time by 10%, riding at the same effort on the Jones vs. the 
Sam, due to I think both the 50% fatter tire and Jeff Jones Geometry Voodoo 
Magic. I know this is a Rivendell forum, but man, the fun factor on a Jones 
just from the expanded capability has to be ridden to be believed. 29+ has the 
makings of "the next big thing" and I think a lot of Rivendell people would be 
interested in this type of bike. Jeff Jones is your man!

[RBW] Hunq vs Clem

[drew beckmeyer]

So I have a 54 hunq and my fiancé got the 46 Clem prototype. I can't reeaaallly 
speak to ride because I don't fit the 46. But here are my observations.
Weight-similar
Stoutness-similar
Ride- hunq is potentially more aggressive. Could be a roadish bike with the 
right cockpit and wheels...though there are better options for that...but it 
has that capability.  Feels faster.
The Clem is a much more laid back, cruiserish, town bike. Upright is way 
upright. Stays are extra long. I think it could handle anything, but it wont be 
quick doing those things.
Clearances- easier on the Clem, but similar 

We love both of these bikes dearly. The hunqapillar was bought before the 
Clem's existed, but For me, having a us made, fully lugged frame was somewhat 
important. I prefer the geometry of the hunq coupled with the toughness. I 
don't feel slow on it. I'm not quite ready to go full heavy upright long 
chainstay crazy big tired out yet.
For the fiancé, she doesn't care about road bikes, geometry, clearances etc. 
she wants a bike that can do what mine does, that she will be comfortable on, 
will last, looks good, and doesn't cost, to her, an obscene amount of money. 
Not to imply that caring about those things precludes you from wanting a Clem.

[RBW] Hunq vs Clem

[DSat]

Anyone can compare the two that has had experience with one or both?  
What's different?  What's the same?  Ride the same?  Ride different?  One 
heavier vs one lighter?  One more upright than the other?  I know the Clem 
is designed for swept back bars such as the Alba's or Bosco.  I know the 
Hunq would be 700 tires vs 650 for the Clem.  I know the Clem has longer 
chainstays.  What would be the reason to spend the extra $$$ for the Hunq 
over the Clem?
I am talking the Hunq 54 vs the Clem 52 (though that probably don't matter)
 
Any input appreciated.

[RBW] Hunq with HAR & Olive Bags

[Robert F. Harrison]

I just got my new HAR Olive Bags a couple of days ago and was able to
reconfigure my Hunq a bit. I'd also order a new medium Wald basket which I
think looks better than the huge (though if I put my Platrack back on I'll
probably go back to that size).

In addition now that is has been 3 months since my hip replacement I find I
can swing my leg up well enough that I am able to use my large Saddlesack
again. It's one of the original releases (serial #002 in fact) and
impossible to match to anything, but it looks good with the olive bags.

I really like the whole combination and wish I didn't have to wait till
next month to go camping.

Here's what it looks like:

[RBW] Hunq or bomb

[MobileBill]

Spent many years thinking about it, but finally have set aside enough money 
to consider a dedicated mountain bike/heavy load tourer. It would 
supplement my Saluki, and actually get a lot of use in my work, which often 
involves surveys in national forests and other areas with many miles of 
poor roads, paved, gravel and single track. And because of a new contract, 
I'd need to purchase before the end of the year.
Now I need some hand-holding.
I've got almost enough money now to outfit a hunq complete, and I am 
certain it's a great bike. But even though I'm snug as a bug on my 58 
Saluki, Keven and I suspect I'd end up on a 51 Hunq, with 26-inch wheels. 
Problem is there's already two 650b bikes in the family, and I've gotten 
quite comfortable with that wheel size, have parts to boot, and there's a 
lot more 650b products coming. I've also convinced myself that given my 
long torso, the cockpit might be a bit small and just a little less 
comfortable on a long haul.
I'd be all over the Bombadil 52, which has the requisite 650b and longer 
top tube and seems at least a slightly better fit for me, but I'm not yet 
sure I can excuse myself for spending another grand (and it may take a bit 
longer to accumulate that). 
I doubt there's any difference in the sturdiness of these bikes. It all 
comes down to fit and comfort over long distances and occasionally very 
rough roads; I would hope sheer looks don't count for more than 10 
 percent, but I'm told the new Bombadil 52s have the rear tentacles.
Those familiar with Hunqs and Boms, think I'll see a difference in fit 
or ride?

Re: [RBW] Hunq and Hilsen on Ebay

[James Warren]

81 cm saddle height for me, 62 cm frame. I use the biggest tires it can take, 
55's. I love the ride. It does border on the biggest bike I should sensibly 
ride.

Re: [RBW] Hunq and Hilsen on Ebay

[Doug M]

I'm 6-3 with a PBH of 92 and my 62 Hunq fits perfectly for my tastes. With 
standard Schwalbe Marathons the measured stand over is 90 cm.  I have at least 
an inch of stand over clearance wearing shoes.  Some riders want more 
clearance, and others who might want to use their Hunq as a rough stuff 
mountain/single track bike with knobby tires want a smaller frame as well. RBW 
typically advises to go with a larger frame if in doubt.  I haven't regretted 
that advice for a moment.  I'd totally go for the custom blue ebay Hunq if I 
didn't have one already.  Too bad that Hilsen wasn't a 65...

Re: [RBW] Hunq and Hilsen on Ebay

[Tom Harrop]

I guess it depends on what you want to do with it. Maybe the lack of 
standover isn't an issue, e.g. if you want it for touring. I have a 68 cm 
Bombadil with barely any clearance and it doesn't matter in the slightest 
for touring, commuting etc., but I've been ogling that 62 cm Hunq as a 
dedicated MTB with loads of standover (PBH 101 cm). Having said that, I 
think you'd better buy it to keep me on the straight and narrow...

What do people think of the asking price ($1400)? I thought maybe it was a 
little high.

Re: [RBW] Hunq and Hilsen on Ebay

OK, I have to say, I just remeasured my PBH using the "pull it up until you
see stars method" (and a framing square), and came out to 93cm.

Re: [RBW] Hunq and Hilsen on Ebay

[Eric Daume]

OK, I have to say I'm tempted by the Hunq (extra diaga tube and all). But
I'm a little confused by Riv's sizing recommendations. I'm 6'3" with a 91cm
PBH/81 cm saddle height. I asked the seller, and he's almost my same size
(6'3", 92cm PBH).

Riv says:

*58cm Hunqa: 87.5-93cm PBH (Saddle height 76-84cm, standover on biggest
tire is 87.5cm)

**62cm Hunqa: 91.5-100cm PBH (Saddle hight 82-90cm, standover on biggest
tire is 91.5cm)

*which would put me squarely on the 58. But then they go on to say:


*Basically, the Hunqapillar is easy to size.  Nine in ten riders can go by
the following:*

*Under 5' 6" : 48cm
**5'6" to 5'8" : 51cm**
5-9" to 5-11: 54cm
Long-legged 5-10" to 6-1: 58cm
**Long legged 6ft to 6-4.4: 62cm
*
Which would put me on the 62. Any other data points out there?

I'm concerned about the standover on the 62cm. I have a concern on the 36"
standover with the 62cm. I mocked that up last night with my 62cm
Crosscheck resting on a few pieces of wood, and it was tight!

Re: [RBW] Hunq on first camping trip...

[jimD]

I've learned to enjoy Spam through riding my bike.
No kidding.
The Oregon Bike Ride (definitely not to be confused with CycleOregon) serves 
Spam at their sumptuous rest stops.
Spam is great in those circumstances. 
I love it on those occasions, otherwise it never touches my lips or enters
our house.

[RBW] Hunq on first camping trip...

[Robert F. Harrison]

I'm on my first camping trip with my Hunq. Had about a 25 mile ride into
the wind to get to Bellows AFB campgrounds. It was a great ride, bike
handled beautifully even with all the gear...tent, pad, bag, change of
clothes, so on and so forth.

Quick stop at Makapuu lookout.

Aloha,

Bob

Re: [RBW] hunq

[PATRICK MOORE]

Nice photos.

Can you remind me of the name of those cranks? Am I right in thinking
that they can take rings of any bcd? If so, I'd appreciate your
opinion of them, as I am interested in a pair for a wide range double
for my new Fargo, where the clearances are so tight with the wide
stays that I can't get anything bigger than a 24/36 in the inner and
middle postions. I want to run a 44/30 in the outer and middle and
align the cassette accordingly.

Can they take 110 bcd rings or only proprietary rings?

Thanks.
