[RBW] Re: Rosco Road is much more complete now. Docena handlebar bag

[David Banzer]

Nice looking bike. With the bag installed, the cloth tape choices for 
lift-a-tube and handlebar makes a lot more sense!

Re: [RBW] The New England Elements, a Homer and an Outdoor Bike Rack

[David Banzer]

Agreed. I've been working at the same employer for awhile now and would 
lock my bike up outside. I didn't have a 'nice' bike until a few years ago 
(funny that now most of my bikes are 'nice' bikes), but I didn't hesitate 
locking up outside, though I'd do a thorough locking job (locking skewers, 
seatpost binder bolt, cable through saddle/rear wheel) and there's security 
regularly out in front where bike rack is at.
About a year ago I got my own office and started bringing my bike inside 
into my office. No one questioned it one bit and I didn't ask for 
permission ahead of time - I've had no problems at all. 

If you do end up needing to lock up outside, I'd be aware of the area and 
lock up accordingly. Ride what's comfortable and what you feel comfortable 
locking up. That being said, a little variety in what bike to commute on is 
a nice option.

Re: [RBW] Re: thunder burt snakeskin vs raceguard

[David Banzer]

I believe EVO just refers to the Evolution Line which is a group of 
Schwalbe's higher-end tires. I believe the Thunder Burt is only offered as 
Evolution, where other tires are offered as Evolution or Performance line, 
with different versions within each category.

 *RaceGuard®*
 This belt was developed specially with racing in mind. A synthesis of 
 special india rubber and several layers of nylon fabric offers very 
 effective protection against penetration punctures. There is only a 
 minimal 
 increase in weight and rolling resistance of these tires.

 It appears the raceguard version relies on a fabric belt with the 
 lightskin sidewalls for puncture resistance whereas the snakeskin is "A 
 light and flexible carcass makes the tire highly resistant to scrubbing" . 
  
 So that infers a completely different carcass .  

 So Drew I'd assume a snakeskin version would be a good choice for you.

[RBW] FS: Shimano Exage Triple Crankset w/ 3 Willow Chainrings - $50 plus shipping

[David Banzer]

I'm moving soon, so will be listing stuff as I go through my storage space. 
Sale will go towards getting me moved into a house that's within a mile of 
the start of a bike trails that's nearly 50 miles of gravel/dirt, mostly 
uninterrupted from roadways.

So, to start with - 

Shimano Exage Triple Crankset.
Silver-ish finish that is painted on - seen here: 
http://www.ebay.com/itm/172327888110?var==STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649
Includes 3 Willow chainrings of your choice - available sizes are here: 
http://treetop.bigcartel.com/category/willow-chainrings-c
Ideally, you'd take 2 110 bcd rings, and 1 74 bcd chainring - but I'm open 
if you already have other chainrings and need 3 small rings, or 3 large 
rings.
So take your pick! Only thing not included for this deal is triplizer rings.

The crankset itself is 110/74 and includes the original black chainring 
bolts.
Cranks and chainrings are NOS - there may be minor scratches from storage.

For crank arm length, I have:
6 sets of 170mm
5 sets of 175mm

Price is $50 plus $7 USPS Priority shipping.
Contact me offlist if you'd like a set. 
Include an email address for Paypal so I can send a PP invoice.
Thanks,
David
Chicago for now

[RBW] FS: Willow Chainring Sale, cont. - Canvas Bags & Leather Goods - Pre-Order Bag Discount.

[David Banzer]

I'm moving soon, need to raise a little cash to help with expenses.

I'm continuing my Willow chainring sale, info here: 
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/internet-bob/willow|sort:date/internet-bob/XYzICUf0Jec/z-EQo0RSDwAJ
I also have some ready-made canvas bags remaining and a few leather good 
prototypes (these are on sale) - 
http://treetop.bigcartel.com/category/ready-made
Buy at least one chainring & one bag or leather good, and I'll cover 
shipping.

I'm also offering a pre-order discount on made to order bags - pre-order 
and pay for a made to order bag now, and get a 20% discount off the price. 
This is for standard design bags which are:

Saddle Wedge - 
http://treetop.bigcartel.com/product/medium-saddle-wedge-waxed-canvas

Mini Rando - http://treetop.bigcartel.com/product/small-front-rack-bag

Rando - http://treetop.bigcartel.com/product/tall-rando-bag-red-waxed-canvas

Wald 137 Basket Bag - http://treetop.bigcartel.com/product/wald-basket-bag

Bar Bag - http://treetop.bigcartel.com/product/front-bar-bag

Zippered Porteur - http://treetop.bigcartel.com/product/zippered-porteur-bag

Saddlebag - http://treetop.bigcartel.com/product/saddlebag


I'm in the process of moving - and am setting up a temporary work space, 
but will have very limited time to work there - so bags will ship in 1-3 
months.
If you're interested in a bag at a discounted price and aren't in a rush 
for delivery, this would be the time to order.
Shipping is additional - typically a flat $7 per order, though the rando & 
porteur bags are $12 as they're larger.

Please contact me offlist if interested, any questions, or to order 
chainrings and ready-made bags/goods to ship now, or to pre-order a bag at 
a discount.
I'll send an invoice through Paypal.
I'm in the process of updating photos, so if you'd like to see a color or 
bag type, let me know offlist.
Thanks,
David

Thanks Tom! I started a doctorate program and decided to buy a house in the

[RBW] Re: How was your (Bike) Labor Day?

[David Banzer]

I just started packing up to move shortly - staying at in-laws for a couple 
weeks - so I rode a couple bikes (Black Mountain Monster Cross & Riv Clem) 
over to our temporary home while my wife drove a loaded car load of stuff 
over. Only about 5 miles per ride, but I got to do it twice. Wasn't much, 
but it did feel nice to get some riding in on a pretty hectic day.

[RBW] FS: Nitto Mark's Bar 46cm - SKS P45 Fenders - VO 700c 45mm Smooth Fenders.

[David Banzer]

I've had these parts hanging out in my office, and I think my boss is 
beginning to suspect that all I do is wrench on bikes during office hours.
Help me clean out my office!
Seriously though, I'm moving soon and don't want to take these 3 items back 
home where I'll just need to pack them up again.
For the list's sake - I'll likely have a few more FS posts throughout 
September, but that should be it for me for a while - so bear with me and 
excuse all the FS posts.

Shipping is NOT included on these - they're sorta bulky so shipping rates 
will vary by zip code. 
Local pickup is highly encouraged! Preference goes to a local buyer, but I 
certainly can ship these it need be.

1.) Nitto Mark's Bar - 46cm - 26.0mm clamp - got these used, tried them 
out, going to stick with my B132s instead, tape residue, nice condition - 
$40

2.) SKS P45 Fenders - regular ones, not longboards, I used these for a bit 
before deciding I needed wider fenders - missing some of the black stay end 
pieces - stays are uncut - $20

3.) Velo Orange 700c 45mm Smooth Fenders - includes all hardware, holes 
drilled: front - to attach to front rack; rear: hole for l-bracket to 
attach to seatstay bridge, holes for Dutch fender light (light not 
included) - $20

[RBW] Re: Potential Sale of '97 Rivendell Road

[David Banzer]

I'd think the price would vary significantly if the stem were stuck or not. 
If you don't want to deal with the stem and are selling it as-is, the price 
would be much less than if you get the stem out.
Just my thoughts.

Hi Patrck - 
Certainly can do something like that. I'm going to be working on something

- or something similar.
What are the dimensions on the one you have now?

[RBW] Re: The Cheviot has arrived!

[David Banzer]

Bike looks great! I'm trying to figure out how I can justify a Cheviot in 
my stable. I just broke my daily commuter, building up a VO Campeur as new 
commuter, but if that doesn't fit right, a Cheviot might be in my future.
Any chance you measured the actual width of the Compass Snoqualmie Pass 
tires?
I've seen that they run smaller than 44mm on typical road rims. I might 
need to order a pair just to have - could fit on a couple bikes depending 
on actual width.

[RBW] 650b'd Redwood.

[David Banzer]

While I've converted my Redwood to 650b wheels in the past, I briefly 
swapped back to 700c wheels with Barlow Pass tires. 
I swapped out 650b as I had been using Vee Rubber Speedsters which measured 
47mm actual. Under heavy pedaling, the tires would rub at the chainstays. I 
could dent the chainstays for more clearance - the current indentations 
line up for a 700c tire - but I'd rather not if I don't have to.
When the WTB Horizon tires were announced, I patiently waited until they 
were released and some actual measurements were shared. My tools are mostly 
packed up so I don't have calipers, but I think they're around 44mm actual, 
which is perfect. I'll be adding some SKS fenders shortly - there is 
adequate clearances front/rear. 

My to do-list for this bike:
Swap cranks - Dura Ace crankset goes back to wife's Clementine, Shimano 
Deore/600 cranks will be put on w/ 46/34 rings
Change cassette - it'll be a custom 12-28 8-speed
Change brakes - going to try DC 750 centerpulls
Add fenders
Lower bars 1cm
Swap saddles - GB Aspin saddle will go on
Make up a set of rack-less bags

Re: [RBW] Re: 64 cm Orange Ram Update

[David Banzer]

If I didn't have a converted 650b Redwood if be considering this very 
seriously. 
FWIW, I paid $1000 shipped for my Redwood (came with 700c) with a very nice 
parts package that I sold off and nearly made my money back.

Re: [RBW] VO vs Berthoud fenders

Brian,
Did the pre-dilled holes for the stays on the VO fenders line up with the 
Berthoud stays? Curious which VO fenders you used as I'm looking to do the 
same with some VO Zeppelin fenders I'll be installing.

Re: [RBW] Re: New fenders (again!) for the '03 Curt -- 26" X 50 mm Berthouds.

[David Banzer]

Patrick (& everyone I suppose),
I have some nice Horween waterproof leather. 
It's a lot thinner than the Berthoud leather. IMO the Berthoud is just a fender 
extender. 
I'd be happy to make up a set for you (& others I suppose) for a reasonable 
price.

[RBW] Re: 26x1.75-2" tire recommendations

[David Banzer]

I briefly had a too-small-for-me Trek 890. They're really cool frames, but 
they're definitely not a mountain bike. 72.5/73 degree seat/head angles on 
the 21"-or-so frame. Trek grouped them together based on wheel size and 
called 26"-wheeled bikes 'all-terrain.' They're really more a touring/road 
bike that happens to take 26" wheels. I think they came with 1.75" tires or 
something smaller maybe, and really weren't intended for big tires.
To your question, I'd go with 1.75" Paselas.

[RBW] Re: Schwalbe Big One on Appaloosa

[David Banzer]

I had the 700c version, liteskin, and they measured 57mm on 25mm external 
width rims. With a wider rim, they'd likely measure closer to 60mm. I fit 
them on my Clem just fine - I ended up switching for Furious Freds as I 
added a front child seat and the extra height from the tires made me a 
little uncomfortable trying to get a toe down while on the saddle to 
stop/start. 
I'd highly recommend the Thunderburts or Furious Freds. Furious Freds are 
pretty darn close to a road tire, knobs are really minimally.

[RBW] WTB: Velocity Dyad Rear Wheel - 36h - 135mm

[David Banzer]

Building up a new commuter after retiring my trusty Schwinn Voyageur due to 
a cracked seat-tube. Transferring most parts over to a VO Campeur.
I had a single speed setup, but will be building up a geared bike so will 
need a different rear wheel.

So looking for...
Rear wheel with the following parameters
Velocity Dyad Rim - silver (am matching an already built front wheel)
36 spokes
Rear hub for 8/9/10 speed cassette (7-speed considered as well), preferably 
silver in color
135mm o.l.d.

If you have anything, feel free to contact me offlist with what you have 
and how much you'd like for it.
I have lotsa Willow chainrings I could trade and would give you a more than 
favorable deal if you're in need of a bunch of chainrings.

Thanks,

[RBW] Re: Rambouillet Questions

[David Banzer]

There were at least a couple versions were clearance was different. Later 
ones had more clearance. I have a Redwood (less fancy/expensive Ram, 
supposedly similar/identical in most non-cosmetic aspects) - fits Compass 
Barlow Pass tires (~37mm actual). Would definitely fit 32mm plus fenders. 
Assuming the Redwood is the same as the later Ram, that's a buncha 
clearance for a road bike.
Mine is currently set up with 650b wheels and WTB Horizon tires and room 
for fenders. I'll likely stick with this setup for awhile, maybe swap in BG 
RnRs were trails get muddy.

[RBW] Re: Rambouillet Questions

[David Banzer]

Assuming I'm looking at the same unsold listing on eBay, seller notes it'll 
fit 38mm, which means it's a larger clearance version - it looks like it 
based on the photos, I think.
I'd wager if it fits WTB Horizons, which it likely will, that Paul Racers 
(advertised 67mm max reach) won't be long enough. I'm using Tektro long 
reach brakes (73mm max reach) and needed to file the ends of the slots to 
get brake pads to line up with rims. Dia Compe 750s would likely fit 
without modifying.

[RBW] Re: Silver 2 shifters

[David Banzer]

If it clicks, it has a power ratchet. The ratcheting mechanism in the 
originals is the same as the original bar-ends, which is to say that the 
Silver 2 shifters will have a more refined ratcheting mechanism than the 
original Suntour shifters. I can't remember off the top of my head, but 
there might have a later Suntour thumbshifter version that had the 
mechanism in it as the Suntour Sprint dt shifters.
Who's a Suntour expert around here?

[David Banzer]

Briefly has these wheels on my Riv Redwood as my 700c wheelset to swap

700c
Gently used condition
Velocity A23 Rims - black
Shimano 5700 Hubs - black - fits 8/9/10 speed cassettes - original skewers 
included
36 2.0mm spokes per wheel - black, silver nipple
Single layer of Stan's tape installed - I never ran these tubeless

Photos are available, I have at least one photo right now and can take more 
- contact me offlist and I can send them to you.
$140 plus actual shipping, likely via Bike Flights shipped FedEx.
Paypal Personal payment preferred if you can.
Thanks,

Re: [RBW] Re: Silver 2 shifters

[David Banzer]

For those who still want the traditional downtube shifter shape, Dia Compe 
makes them with the same ratcheting friction internals as Silver shifters. 
It's cosmetically a little different, but functionally it's the same 
shifter.
I'd guess this is a little bit why Riv is making something new instead of 
making the same shape if they need to invest in a new mold.
I'm looking forward to these!

[RBW] FS: GB Aravis Saddle, Compass Barlow Pass Tires, Schwalbe Furious Fred Tires, Brooks B17 Black, Nitto F15, Silver Hupe

[David Banzer]

Selling some stuff to fund my garage workshop project, currently underway:

Need to build some benches and storage to be able to tinker in comfort.

I'm going to do small batches of parts for sale as I unpack garage space.
Shipping is NOT included. I can likely get tires into a padded flat rate 
envelope, and the saddle as well (will be well packed) if you don't need 
the original box.
Paypal PERSONAL payment preferred.
Contact offlist if interested. I can take photos.
Thanks,

[David Banzer]

Barlow Pass tires are sold.

The hooks were actually in the garage when I bought the house, just moved 
them around to use for bikes. They're just simple hooks like these:

[RBW] Re: Albastache on what frame?

[David Banzer]

I'm starting to think that the Redwood might be a good fit. The Monster 
Cross I use the drops quite a bit. 
The Redwood is converted to 650b with WTB Horizon tires. I use the drop 
portion much less on the Redwood. So maybe that might be the right bike to 
try it out on. Then I might need a Roadini if taller sizes are made to fill 
in my 'road' bike slot.
A Hunqapillar with albastaches would be ideal, but it's not in the budget 
right now. A used one probably, but a new one probably not for a few years.
Things to ponder.

[RBW] Albastache on what frame?

[David Banzer]

So I've had an itch to build up an Albastache'd bike. Might be silly to 
build up a bike only to have another handlebar option, but I'm ok with that.
My goal is to find an older mtb as a winter project and build it up with 
Albastache bars. 
Assuming the bars work out for me, I'd like to swap things over to a newer 
frameset.

My question is:
Which frame would work well with Albastache bars assuming I want a 
semi-upright yet still a tad aggressive setup?
As this is the Riv list, Rivendell frames obviously should be in the mix, 
but other frame suggestions are welcomed.

Ideally new bike would not overlap with current bikes/handlebar setups 
which are:
Riv Clem - Albatross
Riv Redwood - drops, Nitto B132
Black Mountain Monster Cross - drops, Nitto B132
VO Campeur - shortened Albatross w/ inverse brake levers

Re: [RBW] Re: 29er/700c Studded Tire Options for Clem.

[David Banzer]

Good to hear. The Clem can fit a 2.35" tire. I read a couple reviews of the 
Nicotine, actual width stated is 2.5". That will clear the rear for sure, 
it'll be tight in the front though I have run Schwalbe Big Ones (~58mm) 
with fenders so it might fit.
I'm not sure I want to buy a $130 tire (each) that might not fit.
The Schwalbe Ice Spiker would definitely work.

[RBW] Re: 29er/700c Studded Tire Options for Clem.

[David Banzer]

Thanks for all the feedback so far. I will say that the Clem would be used 
on days of more significant snowfall, so I am considering more off-road 
oriented tires as well.
Looks like the Nokian W106 and the Schwalbe Marathon Winter 2.0" are on my 
list. Possibly Schwalbe Ice Spikers.
Also considering the 45nrth Nicotine: 
http://45nrth.com/products/tires/nicotine - fenders would need to come off 
for that one.
My commute starts with a few miles of gravel/dirt trail - I haven't checked 
yet but I'm guessing that doesn't see any treatment during the winter for 
snow removal - followed by 10 miles of semi-side streets that will have 
more residual snow/ice than main thoroughfares.
Since I already have a bike set up with ~40mm studs, I'm inclined to have 
the Clem set up for more extreme winter conditions.
Anyone have experience withe 45nrth tires or Schwalbe Ice Spikers?
I guess this would be a WTB as well is anyone has something to sell.
David

[RBW] Re: FS: Nitto M12 Front Rack (2 of 'em), Orc square platform rack - $50 each plus shipping

[David Banzer]

Leif,
Good eye! They're just regular cork grips, but dipped in amber shellac on 
both ends, then clear shellacked over the entire thing.
It was an easy way to spruce up the cheaper presto-log type cork grips.

[RBW] Re: FS: Willow Chainring Sale - $10 chainrings, $15 triplizers w/ hardware

[David Banzer]

Bumping this up.
Thanks to all who put in orders. All chainrings have been sent out or will 
be in this morning's mail.
Sale prices are still on, not sure for how long, but it's nice to see these 
getting use rather than sitting in my basement.

[RBW] FS: B Eyc T Senso Plus Dynamo Front Light - $50 shipped.

[David Banzer]

Had this on my main commuting bike, a VO Campeur, and swapped it for a IQ-X

This light worked great for typical road riding and commuting.
So...

Includes fork bracket, bolt, tool, and full length cable to connect a rear 
light. Doesn't include the reflector.
Light is lightly used, works great. 
Info here: 
https://www.rivbike.com/collections/lights/products/b-m-eyc-t-senso-plus-dyno-headlight

$50 shipped conUS. 
Regular Paypal payment works. I'll send a PP invoice.

[RBW] Re: Who makes Canvas Panniers now?

[David Banzer]

For weatherproofing, the rolltop closure is probably your best bet if 
you're aiming to keep water/elements out. 
I don't think there's production panniers in waxed canvas right now. 
Ironweed makes canvas bags, but not waxed. You could wax them yourself of 
course!
IMO, Swift makes the best designed panniers, but alas they don't use waxed 
canvas anymore.
I've toyed around with pannier ideas, making a pair for myself and opting 
not to go with a rolltop and deciding to use waterproof bags inside for 
items that absolutely can't get wet.
Here's a pair I made for a Tubus Ergo front rack: 
https://www.instagram.com/p/BI3CcDVjlVl/?taken-by=treetopdesigns
I ended up using the Riv HAR trick and made a sleeve that slips into the 
rack - the bags are attached with 2 leather straps each and no stiffeners 
and the attachment is solid.

Your best bet is custom and Ely of Ruthworks fame would make some awesome 
panniers.

[RBW] FS: WTB Horizon Tires - $107 shipped.

[David Banzer]

Used these on a Rivendell Redwood 650b conversion - plenty of large-volume 
tires in my stable right now, so switching back to 700c road build.
In case you have a similar Redwood, Romulus, or later version Ram that had 
increased clearances - for 650b conversion, these fit great with adequate 
spacing and had room to fit fenders.

WTB Horizon Tires.
Pair, used less than 50 miles.
$100 plus $7 USPS Priority shipping.
Regular Paypal is fine.
Contact offlist please.

[RBW] Re: Roast your own coffee?

[David Banzer]

I've been roasting coffee for a few years now. Practical? Absolutely. 
Benefits? That's up to you to decide. You get to try specific coffees and 
roast them how you like, or differently and compare.
It can be a routine part of daily life, or it can be a full-blown hobby 
taking up lots of your time, in a good way. 
You can roast delicious coffee with low-tech and high-tech devices.
I've tried a few, have yet to buy an actual coffee roaster because I've 
been content with my low-tech results. I have used hot air poppers, 
stovetop, oven, grill, and a even a Trangia stove.
My preferred method is actually an old wok that's continuously stirred with 
a wooden spoon. It takes practice - and each type of coffee roasts 
differently. 
I get green beans from Burman (http://www.burmancoffee.com/) local-ish 
enough to me that they have cheap flat rate shipping.
Another benefit I suppose is that my wife can't drink regular coffee and 
drinks decaf - good luck finding freshly roasted decaf options, so for us 
roasting is the only option.
And to bring it to bikes - I have roasted up a small batch of coffee on a 
bike ride - a Trangia alcohol stove fits just enough fuel to roast a small 
batch of coffee.

[RBW] Re: New Clem L's available now?

[David Banzer]

I was waiting for the 64cm Clem Ls, which I think are in the next batch, 
but am really tempted by the grey 59cm. 
I have a 59cm Clem H frame in the same grey - my riding needs have changed 
a bit and a step-through frame would be ideal for kid-hauling.
The 59cm fits me just fine, probably no need to go for a size larger for me.
Anyone want to buy a grey 59cm Clem H frame so I can go for the Clem L?

[RBW] FS: Velocity Dyad Wheelset. 700c - 36h - $200

[David Banzer]

Apologies for multiple FS posts this week - cleaning out the garage and 
trying to pay some bills, possibly put some money aside for a 64cm Clem L..

Velocity Dyad Wheelset
700c
Silver rims, silver Shimano hubs (I want to say they're Deore LX, but need 
to confirm)
36h.
135m rear spacing - no skewers included.
Got these lightly used from a fellow listmember, I only needed the rear at 
the time, so rear got a little use by me, and the front I never used.

$200 plus shipping.
Contact offlist if you're interested.
Paypal Personal please on these.
Thanks,
David
River Grove, IL

[RBW] FS: Pass and Stow Porteur Rack - Silver

[David Banzer]

With a move out of the city, I've found my bike hauling needs have changed. 
This was on my Clem (59cm) and worked great.
I believe it is the 'Tall' version as it fit on Clem with 29x2.35 tires and 
fenders and fit perfectly.
Price is $230 plus shipping.

Re: [RBW] WTB / WTT Tektro R559 with hex nut

[David Banzer]

Hi Jack,
The bolt is not a standard bolt that you can buy in a hardware store. 
However, Tektro uses the same mounting bolts on different brake models.
I've successfully swapped bolts out of the 800a model, which is 
inexpensive: https://www.modernbike.com/tektro-800a-sidepull-brake-set
You could do that then sell the set of 800a's as recessed mounts. You only 
need to swap the rear recessed with the bolt-on front.

Re: [RBW] Re: Riv Redwood Identity Crisis. Tire recommendations needed.

[David Banzer]

I was doing wheel/tire swaps and for fun test fit Compass Snoqualmie Pass 
tires. Rear is tight, I'll need to do a little modification of a DC 610 brake, 
but looks like these'll work. Likely will go back to Barlow Pass after I wear 
through these. 
I'm by a river trail - river does flood so mud is sometimes a factor. I may get 
a pair of Gravel King SK to have on muddy days. 
I'll update with photos.

[RBW] Re: Riv Redwood Identity Crisis. Tire recommendations needed.

[David Banzer]

Monstercross is setup as a single speed, Thunder Burts, will soon have 
Albastaches.
The Redwood has had Barlow Pass tires on it before, and they do fit fine. 
Those certainly are an option, I am curious about 'gravel' category tires 
that may fit as well.

[RBW] Re: Handlebar Bliss

[David Banzer]

I'm in the process of swapping Nitto B132s on my BMC Monstercross for 
Albastaches. The drops worked fine on the bike, but more muddier rides I 
think I'll enjoy the wider, slightly more upright bar.
I've tried original mustaches before and they didn't work for me on longer 
rides, but the Albastaches are looking like they might work just fine.

[RBW] FS: 700c Alex DM18 - mismatched hubs. $80

[David Banzer]

Clem got an updated dynamo wheelset, so selling previous wheels. 
I built these up a while ago, can't remember exactly when, and they've been 
on a few of my bike at different points.
They handled wider tires just fine and work well on my Clem with 29x2.35 
tires, though worked best with 2.1" and under.

Alex DM18 Rims - previous version, these have single eyelets, look like a 
wider Sun CR18
Rear Hub - Shimano Deore silver 7-speed era, 135mm, fits Hyperglide and 
Uniglide cassettes, can be converted to an 8/9/10 speed cassette, no skewer
Front Hub - unbranded Formula high flange cartridge bearing hub, bolt-on 
though axle is hollow - I've shortened another hub's axle and used it with 
a qr skewer just fine
36 spokes per wheel - rear spokes are double-butted for sure, I think front 
are as well, will confirm

While I've built well over 50 wheels in my lifetime, I'm for sure an 
amateur wheelbuilder, with no aspirations of being an expert. 
That being said, these wheels worked just fine, and I've never had issues 
with wheels I've built for my own bikes.

$80 for both wheels. Local sale preferred, but can ship if you're not in a 
rush as I'll need to track down a wheel box.
Paypal Personal for payment please.
Contact offlist if interested.
Thanks,
David

Re: [RBW] Re: Riv Redwood Identity Crisis. Tire recommendations needed.

[David Banzer]

I am at the southern end of the trail. It's less maintained, more dirt/mud 
than actual gravel, than the northern parts, so wider tires are a plus. I'm 
also not too far from Illinois Prairie Path which I'd like to explore this 
summer.

I forgot that I had a bought a used pair of Soma C-Lines, so I can put

Any comparisons between those and Barlow Pass'. If I recall the C-Line came 
out a little bit before, but the Barlow Pass kind of stole the spotlight 
when it was introduced.

[RBW] Riv Redwood Identity Crisis. Tire recommendations needed.

[David Banzer]

My Riv Redwood has been fickle over the past couple years. It wanted to be 
a road bike, then it got the idea that it could fit 650b in the 46mm range. 
It went back and forth between those personalities for awhile.
Lately it's been intimidated by other bikes that fit large volume tire 
bikes it shares garage hooks with. Riv Clem and BMC Monstercross are making 
it feel unsure of its large volume tire capacities.
So, it wants to go back to being a road bike, but has moved out of the city 
near gravel/dirt trails and wants to get some riding time in.
I heard it talking about wanting to wear some 700x35 Panaracer Gravel King 
SK's. It feels comfortable wearing up to actual 38mm 700c tires.

What tires would you recommend to the Redwood in its ongoing identity 
crisis?
I'll pass along the info.

[RBW] Re: Breaking in a leather Brooks

[David Banzer]

The water method works if you follow specific directions that Lon Haldeman 
has written. Technically this method is simple leather wet forming and if 
done properly, it should stretch out the leather very much - it's just 
making a form to your backside by wet forming. The key is to make sure it 
is absolutely dry before riding it again. I've done it with a couple  of my 
B17 standards that were a little stubborn in breaking in and was pleased 
with the results, though getting miles in would eventually do the same 
thing.
One thing to note is that this method will likely change the overall color 
of the saddle. My honey brooks got darker, not as dark as the brown brooks 
- this also would occur through use, but the water method speeds the worn 
in color faster as well.
I'd really only recommend this method if you're impatient, like me - I had 
a bike with a new saddle that I was taking on a trip and wanted to make 
sure the saddle was broken in. The water method (if followed correctly) 
shouldn't do anything different than a few hundred miles of riding would do.

[RBW] Re: On downsizing (and the 1 bike, and 650b)

[David Banzer]

I had my first kid nearly a couple years ago, and the second is due 
shortly. My biking priorities and types of rides changed drastically with 
an infant. I think the Hunq would be great as a kid hauler/city-commuter.
If you're going to do road rides, I'd suggest keeping the Hunq, sell 
everything else, and maybe consider a more road-specific frame like the 
Black Mountain Road. 
If you had to only have one bike though, I do think a 650b Atlantis would 
be the most versatile.
All that said, Option #3 - keep all until shit hits the fan - is what I 
typically do when it comes to need to sell bike-related stuff.

I've been kicking myself for missing out on this one, still excited to see 
photos. If anyone got one of these and decides to sell, I'll buy it.

[RBW] FT/WTB: Tubus Vega Silver Rear Rack for Nitto/Tubus Rear Rack w/ wider top platform

[David Banzer]

My son is going to be moving from front mounted child seat to a rear 
mounted one soon and I need a rear rack with a wider platform than I 
currently have.
I currently have a Tubus Vega rear rack installed on my Clem, but it 
appears I need something with a wider top platform to attach a rear child 
seat.

So..
I have:
Tubus Vega Rear Rack - silver, installed new on Clem, rarely carried 
anything on it, seatstay struts are full-length/un-cut, slightly curved 
shape to fit

I need:
Tubus or Nitto Rear Rack that has a wider platform than the Vega
don't have a specific model I'm set on, so I'm open to whatever

Ideally, I'd want to do a straight trade - could buy outright as well if 
the price is right.

Older photos of my rack on Clem here: 
https://www.instagram.com/p/BJv-HOIDJ4t/?taken-by=treetopdesigns

Contact off-list if you have something for trade/sale.
Thanks,
David
Chicago

[RBW] Re: Appaloosa Front-End Update

[David Banzer]

Dave,
Would you be able to post a photo of your setup with the Smarti? I've 
thought about trying that one out mounted to the Riv-standard upper mid 
eyelets. Would be nice to see a photo.
Thanks,
David
