Re: [RBW] Re: Loaded touring weight distribution

I've done quite a bit of touring on my '03 Atlantis & can offer the following experiences. For a 4 bag, full on camping tour, I've found 60% front with 40% rear in panniers. I also have a rando style bag on a small Nitto front rack that gets stuffed with things like lunch, lock, etc. The

Re: [RBW] Re: Loaded touring weight distribution

I had lowrider bosses installed on my first edition Sam and the steering was indeed odd with ~25 lb in front. FWIW, I filled empty half-gallon and gallon milk jugs with water for weight; each gallon is about 8 lb On Mon, May 9, 2022 at 11:29 AM aeroperf wrote: > ... My Sam was very comfortable

[RBW] Re: WTT: Revelate Sweetroll bar bag for other bar bag

Oh, will also consider shallow frame bag or largish top-tube "gas tank" bag as long as can contain all that stuff. Note that this is for the Monocog, 17"/Medium size, and I do want full use of both bottle cages. This would be perfect *except* that there's not enough room in the triangle for that

Re: [RBW] Loaded touring weight distribution

Thanks for the thoughtful writeup and ideas. We have cats. They prefer the expensive litter. They make us happy, so it’s all good. Probably less risky than our (empty) whisky bottle collection. Lynn > On May 9, 2022, at 12:29 PM, aeroperf wrote: > > > So my advice is to find a friend with

[RBW] Re: Loaded touring weight distribution

I ride a Soma Saga for heavy touring and a Rivendell Sam Hillborne for light touring. During 2020 I did the kitty litter check - made up 5-pound bags of kitty litter to try riding with different weight distributions. My Sam was very comfortable 10 pounds forward and 20 pounds aft. More than

Brendon Great story, from the heart, & photos and bike. Glad you got the enjoyment out of the AHH. What did your mother say when you showed up on it this Mother's Day?? John Hawrylak Woodstown NJ On Monday, May 9, 2022 at 6:45:41 AM UTC-4 brendonoid wrote: > I received the package with my

Brendan, Congratulations on your "classic" Homer's 10th anniversary. ". . .my gateway bike into a world of adventure cycling and Just Ride." True words for many of us. My first Riv was an Atlantis followed shortly after by a sage green Sam. A few other Rivs followed but the Sam is the one that

[RBW] Loaded touring weight distribution

How do y'all prefer to distribute weight on your Rivendells for stability? I'm planning my first self-supported tour on my MUSA Atlantis. Health permitting I'll be riding from my home in Iowa up to Door County WI in September. I enjoy camping, so I'll be packing my hammock and all that. In the

Re: [RBW] Re: Adding photos to Post

Richard, specifically in megabytes, what is the size of the image you are trying to post ? The size limit for a post is possibly 8mb, not the 25mb which I think is for gee-mail attachments. You have not mentioned removing the string of replies below the three dots, have you done that also ?
