[RBW] Re: pannier recommendations
Greetings RBW group, I've been reading through the pannier recommendations because I'm investigating buying my first set of panniers (for Bleriot) and I'm wanting a light weight set. I like the Arkel T28s but I'm thinking they may be a bit small for an 8-day trip planned this summer. Does anyone own the Lone Peak P-340? Size-wise they are a bit larger than the Arkel's, but with what looks like an extra storage area in the back so they have more capacity. Weight is the same as Arkel T28s, at 2.5 pounds. Are Lone Peaks good for durability? Is the hooking on mechanism reliable? Thanks! On Apr 9, 1:32 pm, "M.

[RBW] Re: Four by Four Array of bikes
I shoudl have just generically said "drop bars" for those that have their particular flavor they like. The thing I was going for was that almost all 16 of those bikes made sense. The Bombadil, Hunqapillar and Atlantis all absolutely make sense with any of those handlebars. Maybe the Hillborne with bullmoose would be the least likely combo, but all 16 would be really useful rides. That's why I didn't include a go-fast column, becuase 90% of us want a go-fast with drop bars. A Roadeo with Alba bars would be goofy. But when you get right down to it, if Mark can build up a Roadeo under 20lbs, then a 23lb Hillborne shouldn't be hard at all. It's a property of bicycles in general, and Rivendells in particular, that I sometimes lose sight of. You can significantly change the personality of a bike by changing the handlebars. Change bars and tires and you've got a completely different bike. I've done it and I'm sure most of you have too. The touring bike I put the most miles on in my life was a Trek hybrid that I bought withour ever riding becuase I looked at the frame numbers and knew that it would work for me with the right drop bar and stem. The thing had a riser bar and one of those pivoting adjustable stems on it stock. It was a fantastic touring bike for me.

[RBW] Re: Commuting makes me angry...(might be a little ranty!)
I certainly would not want to urge anyone to arm themselves unless they are comfortable with a firearm, but if you sometimes or always carry a gun in your car for protection, there is no reason why you should not do so when riding a bike -unless you are going to have to lock the bike and are not able to carry the gun with you in which case you should not carry. I have used the small Wald basket on my Atlantis for carrying a Glock when I know I have to go through a particulary dangerous neighborhood. The gun can be concealed with a bandana but still remains in easy reach.

[RBW] Re: New route for Amgen TOC-Possible Socal Ride
I think it's a fun ride. We could leave from Acton Metrolink station and follow Angeles Forest Hiway over Mill Creek Summit down to Upper Big Tujunga rd. Follow that to Angeles Crest Hiway and then take Angeles Crest back to Angeles Forest. It's about 80 miles RT. With a good amount of climbing It's one of my favorite rides because it's in San Gabriel Mtns. There is regular traffic on Angeles Crest but a decent shoulder and beautiful views. ONE issue is that there are no places to get food so you have to carry it. I'd be happy to lead such an adventure.

Mike & Aaron: I can't make the 21st but have ridden Angeles Crest, Angeles Forest, Big Tujunga, etc. Great riding; nice steady climbs. Another objective can be Mt Wilson and there's a loop that makes a century, but requires a lot of time on Foothill, between Sunland and La Canada. The Acton Metrolink as a start/end sounds interesting. Maybe August? :). dougP On Apr 16, 8:35 am, Aaron Thomas wrote: > I'm all for it. Other SoCal'ers, what say ye?

[RBW] Re: New route for Amgen TOC-Possible Socal Ride
Thinking about it we could alternatively go south from Mill Creek Summit and climb up Mt Gleason(~6500). There are some dirt Forest Service roads on the back side of Gleason we could take that would eventually take up back down to Acton. I've ridden them on a rigid MTB and we should be fine on 35mm tires too. ~Mike~ On Apr 16, 8:35 am, Aaron Thomas wrote: > I'm all for it. Other SoCal'ers, what say ye?

James: Wonderful photos! It struck me that this same set could cover "any Riv ride, any year!" Add "timeless" to the description of the Rivendell group. Looks like lux camping - chairs, grill, probably some well stocked coolers somewhere. dougP On Apr 15, 9:48 pm, James Valiensi wrote: > Hullo, > Digging around I found some photos of the 1st Rivendell Weekend Camping trip. > I had loads of fun.

Re: [RBW] Rivendell Weekend #1
Hi, That's mine. The color was selected by my wife from the Dupont Fleet Color chart JB gave me. I didn't tell Grant & company that I changed the color, and they freaked when the frame was delivered to RBW. They thought JB messed up. But they were happy to charge me an extra $50 for custom color. I got my bike in 6-months. When I ordered it they were at a slow time (after 9/11). So RBW was telling me 6-8 weeks for delivery. Then Joe Stark quit building frames, and all his work load went to Curt, hence the increased time. I got it Feb 03. I've met and know several custom Rivendell owners in the LA area, each one of them were disappointed about the wait time; I think this is why so many RBW frames are mass produced now, and the push for customs is off. I'm very happy with mine, and the 6-mo wait was not so bad. But I wish I got a 57cm rather than a 55cm. Cheers!

Re: [RBW] Rivendell Weekend #1
Very nice indeed; so yours dates from between my second Joe-built (delivered April, 1999) and my third, Curt built and delivered in March of '03. Personally, I think my waits were worth the results, but given the nice production frames Riv has developed over the last 10 years, were I to do it again, I might well have opted for a couple of those instead.

[RBW] Re: New route for Amgen TOC-Possible Socal Ride
Whoaa! Guys, the "Acton in August" was a JOKE! See the little smiley guy? Antelope Valley frame builders just set the bikes out in the sun for 20 minutes & apply the brazing; no gas needed. Carbon wilts; aluminum melts. In SoCal during July-August-September you want to make sure you can see the ocean while riding your bike. dougP On Apr 16, 11:14 am, "Andy.M" wrote: > This ride sounds great!

[RBW] Impromptu SoCal Ride for Tomorrow?
Hi All, I know this is late notice, but I've been wanting to get my 6yo son out for a ride. I was pondering putting the Burley Piccolo on my AHH and dragging him from our place in Capo Beach/Dana Point to the Oceanside or Carlsbad area. We can either come back on bike or take the train back depending on the level of whininess. I was thinking of leaving at a semi-civilized hour of 10am or so. Anyone feel like an advenure (what my son will be calling it)? Best, Joe _ The New Busy think 9 to 5 is a cute idea. Combine multiple calendars with Hotmail. http://www.windowslive.com/campaign/thenewbusy?tile=multicalendar&ocid=PID28326::T:WLMTAGL:ON:WL:en-US:WM_HMP:042010_5 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Ahh. The in terrorrem effect of what might be a shoulder holster. Of course for this to work, you're depending on people being of a certain age or at least old enough to have watched Hill Street Blues. My sense is that armpit holsters have gone out of style in a favor of plastic sheaths that slip inside the pants top or in the small of the back. No one really cares about tradition any longer.

RE: [RBW] Re: Commuting makes me angry...(might be a little ranty!)
Hmm...I can't believe this thread is still going. I only meant it as a rant. Anyway, I was thinking about how the guy who buzzed me took off when he saw me pull out my phone. My phone is in a holster on the strap of my backpack. When viewed from a rearview mirror, it's hard to know just what I would be pulling out so maybe it was a bit of deterrence. Maybe he thought I was pulling something else out.

[RBW] Hilsen and tire clearance.
I love the tire clearance on my Hilsen. I had to take the fenders off my Hilsen to deal with some hardware issues and decided to throw on the Schwalbe 700x40s from my commuter bike. I was inspired by Grant's recent post and this PDF he threw up: http://www.rivbike.com/assets/payloads/290/original_My_bike.pdf Something about this looks so right. I met up with some friends doing a fleche and rode with them for the first 15 miles or so. Climbing up to Skyline the tires felt a bit sluggish. On the way home I dropped into Forest Park and did about 7 or 8 miles of fire roads. While they were sluggish on the road they were perfect for the dirt. I'll be putting the Jack Browns on next week for my last two brevets but once I'm done with those perhaps I'll put the Marathons back on. It's nice to have a bike designed for tires between 32 and 40. I sure wish Panaracer would do a 700x40 T-serve. A 700x40 Kojak would be nice too. Here's a picture of my Hilsen with the Marathons: http://www.flickr.com/photos/41335...@n00/4526693063/ Oh, and it was a glorious day here in Portland. It was actually warm. I think this was probably the warmest day of the year so far. --mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: The new panniers look beautiful.
The one piece with the carrying strap is perfect for carry on luggage. I've taken to putting my separates in a duffel just because they never stay together. And look at those D-rings! The tent & sleeping pad go there. This is looking way-cool. Can't quite figure out the attachments from the photos but I'll bet it's dirt simple & reliable. Yes, separates would be good for the front. There's a lot of us who want our front weight down low. dougP On Apr 16, 6:10 pm, manueljohnacosta wrote: > Agreed the panniers look amazing.

[RBW] Re: New route for Amgen TOC-Possible Socal Ride
Sorry I dropped out for a while ... had to go to Rancho Bernardo today to finalize daughters wedding site for next year. Either route would be a fun ride. I can do it any weekend in May. Early June could work too but by July the lower elevations would be hotter than you know what. Most of the rest of the ride is above 4000 ft so it will be nice. How about June 5th or 6th? The pavement route is very quiet except Angeles Crest section. That section is maybe 15% of route.

[RBW] Re: Silver Hupe love
After I gouged my Bleriot, I took a careful look at the Silver Hupe while mounted on the bike and concluded the arms were designed too close together around the mounting points, which makes it have a tendency to pop off inwards when riding on bumpy roads. I took the Hupe off, placed it in a vice, and carefully bent one of the arms outward a small bit and voila! It fits perfectly now and never pops off. If only I had noticed this prior to gouging my frame. On Apr 14, 9:10 pm, doug peterson wrote: > David's ex-Hupe spent a happy winter on my Atlantis, supporting my > Hobo Bag rigged as a saddlebag.

[RBW] Cantilever Brake issue on Hillborne
I have a Sam Hill with Tektro CR720's. They have a brass bushing that pivots on the canti post. There is a lot of play in the pivot due to the bushing being larger in diameter and shorter in length than the post, which means it can wobble back and forth and side ways. It does not pose a problem when braking at moderate to high speed, but when slowing to a stop at low speed, like coasting with the brakes on into the driveway at a few MPH, the fork shutters almost uncontrollably. This is a 60 cm SH so the cable stops is way above the brakes due to the long headtube, but the issues is mostly slop in the pivots more so than the issue that Leonard Zinn referred to due to th ecable stop being way above the brakes. Have any other SH owners run into this problem. I would imagine that other Rivendell owners would also experience this assuming that the same canti posts are likely used on all models. Any suggestions on how to improve the situation, preferrably by reducing play at the pivots. Otherwise, I really like the CR720 cantis with Kool Stop salmon pads.

I've been kind of toying with the idea of "what to do next" when I finally wear out my non-JB's (forcing myself to use them as the JB's have ruined me for most other tires.) Kind of thought I might some bigger tires.

Your Hilsen looks good in the woods. What size tires do you normally use for road riding? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: Cantilever Brake issue on Hillborne
I had a similar issue w/ the Sam Hillborne when I first installed the CR720s. After adjusting the angle of the brake pads, to eliminate toe- in, I haven't noticed any vibrations and have had very minimal break squeal.
