[RBW] Re: Jones and Hunq

2016-12-19 Thread Clayton.sf
There was some discussion on MTBR in regards to truss vs unicrown. Believe 
consensus was that there is slightly better breaking performance on the 
Truss due to less flex but that the unicrown is more than adequate.

At least from my experience the adaptors "kick out" production racks too 
much so you end up with them sitting too high and the rack slanting up. For 
a custom rack that is not a problem though.

Re: [RBW] Re: bar height

2017-02-13 Thread Clayton.sf
I feel like setting bar height in isolation is likely silly.

I have 4 bicycles and each has a different bar height.

The bike's geometry and purpose dictate bar height and bar shape to a 
degree.

On my brevet bike I run drop bars below seat with a longish stem

On my Cheviot I run them above saddle and the bars sweep back quite a bit

On my mountain bike I run wide bars with a short stem above and below and 
at seat-level depending on situation.

Of the 3 examples all feel optimal for each bike, but running bosco-mooses 
and the brevet bike and drops with a longish stem on the Cheviot would not 
make me happy or comfortable.

tarp tent double rainbow is another great option. MUSA and very light for the 
size. I use their Contrails model for places I can't use my Hammock (mine is a

[RBW] Planet Bike ALX 50mm Rolled Lip?

2017-09-26 Thread Clayton.sf
Hi All,

looking for a 50mm fender that offers the most clearance. Usually go with sks 
P50 for that, but just stumbled across the Planet Bike ALX version. Does anyone 
have experience with both? What were your thoughts? I know I can fit Honjo 50mm 
fenders but with 38mm tires clearance is too tight for my taste due to rolled 
edges and deep profile. PBs look shallower so might be the ticket. 

Many Thanks,

[RBW] Re: Trigger shifters on swept-back bars - Jones or others

2017-10-23 Thread Clayton.sf
Use triggers on Jones bars for both the dropper post and the 11 speed 
shifter (integrated via i-spec with the brake lever).

Trigger on Choco- and Bosco-mooses too. They work great and there is enough 
real estate on the bars to make them not get in the way.
On the Choco I ran the shifter right by the right side intersections of the 
"V" bar and the main bar. On the Bosco I run the shifter on the right side 
about 2/3 down right before the bar bends into the flat bar portion.

Personally I like triggers over bar ends as they are in a less vulnerable 
position. Plus a lot of miles are on bumpy terrain where indexed shifting 
works better for me. Less trimming and more control since I can actually 
keep my hands on the bars while shifting.

Best,
Clayton Scott

[RBW] Experience with Wolf elliptical chainring?

2017-11-09 Thread Clayton.sf
I use an absolute black oval ring on my Jones mtb. the theory behind it is that 
it smoothes out  peaks and valleys of power to the drivetrain and thus 
resulting in more traction. Been running one since they first came out. I 
really wanted to dismiss the ring when I first got it but the hype feels true 
to me. Nothing really drastic but felt noticeable, especially in singlespeed 
mode. Never bothered with them on "road" bikes but will consider once current 
rings wear out.

Re: [RBW] "We’ll have “classic” single speed frames again...."

2017-11-09 Thread Clayton.sf
This is silly. It is a single speed or a manual shifter bike. For single speed 
you need an EBB, sliders, or horizontatal drops. Adding a "dangler" to it is 
like saying "I am not shifting my derailer bike so it is a single speed". 

regarding vertical drops, yes better, but not as good as through axles once you 
enter disc territory. Better for caliper braked derailer bikes though, IF the 
frame is straight enough.

Put them on my Cheviot and I think they are perfect for the bike. Have the 
narrower of the two mooses. Has the chocomooses before and like them too 
but prefer the "bad angle" boscomooses for the greater variety of positions.

2019-01-18 Thread Clayton.sf
For fancier lighter tents check out tarptent.com. I have their contrail and 
it is a great tent. You will have seam seal it yourself and supply a tyvek 
ground sheet.

Hammock camping is well worth looking into too. If permitted and suitable 
for the environment I prefer the hammock, but still use the tent quite a 
bit since trees are not everywhere and some campsites forbid them. In 
general though being above the dirt and wet is more pleasant than on the 
dirt and wet. 

Other drawbacks of the hammock are setup time takes longer to get it 
perfect. More bulk for similar warmth. A pain in the butt to share with 
someone. Learning curve. Research time wasted ;-). 

In the end, having both is nice. If I had to go with just one I would go 
with a tent, but sleep much better in a hammock.

IN ADDITION AND ONLY SOMEWHAT RELATED: for those of you who own tarps - 
bring them. We had one rainy year and having tarps to string over the 
"communal area" immensely improved the experience. I will bring a 6'X8' and 
cord, but more is always better.

See you all soon!

2019-01-18 Thread Clayton.sf
I will coming from Healdsburg north of SR. My two plans are as follows:

1. Dry plan: show up at around noon, ride Annadel until dusk or until my 
legs quit (whichever comes first), then head over for dinner and camping. 
This version will likely have me driving down with a bunch of local 
firewood and other camp favorites. Can easily pickup 4 more people in the 
north bay too so if anyone wants a ride down let me know.

2. Wet weather: Ride bike down from Healdsburg around 11am with a bunch of 
scenic detours but sparing the trails at Annadel to not cause undue damage. 
Happy to bike down with anyone that wants to join the fun or meet up en 
route.

Both options will regroup at key points so no one gets lost or left behind.

Best,

There should be some minimum insertion / max height marks on the stem. 
Usually some vertical lines. Insert stem until you can't see them to get to

Another nice set of Cantis were the recent iteration Campagnolo put out. I 
believe they were made for them by Tektro.

They are the best cantis I have ever uses and I continue to have them on 2 
bikes (have used Pauls, Shimano, Empella, Mafac in the past). I don't think 
they are in production anymore but you might get lucky used.

Here the model I am referring to (not my listing or anyone I know):
