Re: [RBW] Re: Mystery bike in April Blahg
“Ready, smart, and darn pretty.” That’s my bike criteria too! I have three dyno wheels and another hub in a box that I don’t even need. I’ve even turned the corner on battery taillights, but haven’t installed a dyno one yet. USB taillights fail me 5 or 8 times more often than a simple battery Pixeo. “Oh, they’re bright AF...

Re: [RBW] Re: Mystery bike in April Blahg
I've had Shimano and SP hubs and ridden them in nasty bumpy gross goop for years. The light weight of the lamps makes them mostly stay put through the rough stuff, and the hubs keep rolling and sending out power no problems (knocking wood). Important would be to make your wire runs low profile and bash/tangle resistant. I've never understood the love of winding the wire around and around the rack struts. If said struts grind against some rock, I want metal on rock, not wire sandwiched between metal and rock. Lately I've been building my own racks with internal wiring to keep it safe at the bike rack and beyond, and modifying a nitto or tubus rack for internal runs isn't a huge deal so long as you're handy with a drill and thoughtful about hole placement. As for seeing, my nighttime single track riding has been mostly on trails I am fairly familiar with, so the lack of light leakage off to the sides and up isn't a huge issue, I actually like the spookiness of it.

I did regularly commute over a mixed terrain route that for most of that time included some uneven bits (they did do some "maintenance" that smoothed out some bits before I retired and stopped commuting). I rode my fixed gear SimpleOne with 33mm tires pumped up moderately hard. The first really nice headlight I had was a B Ixon IQ that used AA rechargeable batteries. Sooner than I would have liked that light took leave of its mount on a rough bit. After retrieving it from the trail side I noted the slots on the base of the light that held it to the mount were busted up, apparently the result of abuse by excess pounding. I epoxied the light to the mount and continued to use it til I picked up a used son-dlx front wheel and went to dyno lights. I never ever had any trouble with the dyno stuff. I've also never read about anybody complaining about problems with a dyno system related to rough riding environments, though as Steve notes there may not be many (or any folks) mountain biking single track with dyno rigged bikes. I doubt well know how a dyno system would hold up under your use cases unless you get one and test it out. I hope you decide to do so and let us know how it goes. regards, ted. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Mystery bike in April Blahg
I'm no knuckle-dragger, the headbadge is a must! I get your point, and agree. The names and the decals are added fun. My point, quite simply, is that a good bike is a good bike with or without the name on the downtube. The obverse is true too, but that's a conversation for a different forum.

If I understand correctly, YOU are the battery of a dyno, yes? You are the power source. The closest thing to a battery on a dynamo system is the standlight capacitor. Battery stores charge, dissipates it over time, eventually dies - faster in the cold. Generator makes power as you go; run time is infinite, limited only by the rider, and temperature insensitive. Also, as batteries age they lose capacity, so the system that this year may be good for 4 commutes in 3 years may dim out after 3 1/2. And you never have to remember in advance with a generator system to charge it to get ready for use. You forget you even have a dynamo system until you need it, at which point you flip a switch and there it is. Roberta, you’ll have to share everything you learn if you get dyno before I do!

Wow, thank you! I thought the Dyno setup would be pounds, not just an ounce, heavier. I just weighed my USB headlight and it is 2.8 oz on the postal scale.

Re: [RBW] Re: Mystery bike in April Blahg
I agree, dynohubs are money well spent. This is from an exchange I had with James @ Analog Cycles regarding weight, here's what he said: "Out of curiosity, I weighed both systems. I put a standard front hub, good rechargeable headlight, and battery powered tail light on the postal scale. 17 oz. I put a Schmidt hub and headlight and wired schmidt tail light on the same scale. 17.5 oz. So the Dynamo is heavier...by half an ounce! But... ya never run out of batteries."

Re: [RBW] Re: Mystery bike in April Blahg
The entirely surprising thing I've found with having front and rear dyno lighting on my Atlantis is I really like having daytime running lights. I bought the bike as a demo from Analog Cycles and didn't have a choice about the lights; I wanted THAT bike and that's what was on it. My schedule currently doesn't permit night riding so I figured I'd have no use for the dyno, but I use it all the time. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Mystery bike in April Blahg
I don't ride too much in the dark these days, but I do it as it gets dark to the end of my ride. I currently use USB rechargeables. I remember in college having a light generator that looked like an old soda bottle. I flipped it down for contact on the wheel to generate the light. I did like that, because in college I rode in the dark a lot. How much weight do dyno lights add? I'm already struggling with the weight of my Appaloosa with accessories when I need to lift and carry it. Roberta On Monday, April 29, 2019 at 11:27:20 AM UTC-4, ted wrote: > Hear, hear.

Re: [RBW] Re: Mystery bike in April Blahg
Adding a dynohub just makes it extremely more useful. I was indecisive for years on getting a dynohub set-up. I've literally lost as many lights on the trail and to aged batteries than I have into a laced up dynohub. After the first night ride out I was so glad for the purchase. No worries to ensure lights get charged, lights then get put on to the bike or in bag. Also, I'm often out for hours on the trail (or road) in the dark. Having something that burns out after 1.5-2 hours versus something that just keeping burning the light wins it for me. It seems you are as excited for this new anniversary bike as I am for a GBW production to be announced!

RE: [RBW] Re: Mystery Bike mods
B: No, I was referring to the Bruce G Rock 'n' Road tires that were formerly on the Mystery Bike (not to a BG Rock 'n' Road bike). I loved them, but couldn't make fenders work with them on that bike (at least not without substantial fiddling, and even then no guarantees), so I put the somewhat skinnier (around 36mm mounted) Delta Cruisers on the bike, along with Longboards. Everything plays well together now, and the ride remains very cushy (stately, as Cyclofiend suggests), but still surprisingly zippy and responsive.

Not just a Cadillac -- it's a Rolls limo. But at the same time it handles beautifully, goes exactly where it's pointed (even at very low speeds), and is insanely comfortable in the saddle. And the most amazing thing is that with the Bullmoose Bosco bars, when I stood up to mash on a high gear uphill (the derailleur/shifter was slipping, so I didn't shift much -- I'll work on that tonight), it was as if somebody had reached down and made the perfect bike/fit for me alone.

Re: [RBW] Re: Mystery Bike Test Ride
Never having touched a Paul Racer, * in theory * the Racer or any dual-pivot centerpull should maximize clearance for a given brake reach, since the dual-pivot centerpull configuration allows both arms to move up they actuate the brake, rather than one pivoting down as is so on dual-pivot sidepulls.

Re: [RBW] Re: Mystery Bike Test Ride
Strange that the clearances are that tight. It's also pretty strange that it can fit wider tires/fenders than the brakes can handle. (Tektro 559 I assume?)

Tried the Soma New Xpress tires tonight at 60psi (they say 90 max), and they were pretty nice. Back tire wasn't going all super-squish even at the relatively low pressure. I purposely ran over a lot of rough stuff and they soaked it up much better than the 38c Marathon Greenguards I was running before. Anyway, nice tire and something to maybe consider. Super pretty as a bonus. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Mystery Bike!
Now I find this very interesting. I sent GP a wool jersey as a gift around the time of the beginning of the project. We had a brief exchange on this new bike. I asked if it was too late, as I was thinking about it, he replied that it was not but I'd better get on board. The next day I emailed him I appreciated it, very much, but was declining because I was purchasing a Calfee. After a few jabs about being a traitor, in good humor of course, I also asked him the name of the mystery bike. He told me under the promise of sworn secrecy, and I intend to honor that.
