[RBW] Re: Waxing the chain?
I would think that wax should be relatively water proof (waxed cotton etc...) I have used a couple of waxed chains in the past and they stayed cleaner than most. I don't live in a hugely rainy place.

[RBW] Re: Cork, Tape, and Shellac
By "rides big" I just mean that it is sized more traditionally with just a little seatpost showing and handlebars close to level with the saddle. On a modern racing frame, I would ride a 60cm bike and in fact the bikes I use at the velodrome are that size; this bike has a 63cm seat tube. For lights, I usually just put my petzl headlamp around the bag and turn it on. I have lots of bikes, and I ride them all, so moveable lights are more useful to me than fixed lights. Though, for touring, I use a dynamo front hub and wired light. I mostly use this bike for commuting and city riding - I do sometimes ride up on the curves and it is comfortable for short distances. I always wear padded gloves, so I don't need much cushioning beyond that. The shellaced cloth tape is very grippy, even when it's wet. The cork grips are comfortable, I suspect they would be even more comfortable if I shortened my stem and sat a little more upright. I tend to ride a bit aggressively in traffic and that usually means leaning forward and pushing a pretty good clip.

[RBW] fixing leather saddles
Saddle stuffing works great, preemptively or resurrectingly. I've healed eight or nine saddles this way, and ... it's in the current RR, or the one before. On a horse, you have the horse & blanket under the leather, so no sag/stretch possible. On a bike saddle, nothing but air. Fill the air with stuff-ing. Foam. We have some, but we're not a source, can't be mailing chunks of foam for free all day long...but when you understand the concept, you'll find a local solution. It is..totally a good way to go. It will quadruple the life, I bet.

The fork crown threading was on the first prototypes which I saw. http://cyclofiend.com/cc/2008/cc452-bombadilproto0208.html I don't know of an RBW-offered factory rack which currently uses that connection. Like few of the braze-ons on the Bomba, I think they are stressing the possible.

Re: [RBW] Re: Waxing the chain?
I've found that if you "stew" the chain in the melted wax for half an hour the chain won't squeak as quickly as it does if you keep it in for just a few minutes. Half an hour is not a period scientifically determined, but it does work better than five minutes. "Stewing" -- this also keeps the chain from stretching; must affect the molecules in a good way. So stew it before you give up on it. And, finally, an old crockpot with your neighbors' old ornamental candle ends works very well. I put a small grate on the bottom to keep the chain off of the dirt that sinks to the bottom of the pot, and simply toss the chain onto the cold wax and turn it on "high" and walk away, coming back in half an hour or more. Haven't burned anything down yet.

[RBW] Venturing Crew 999 S240
Venturing Crew 999 went on an overnight/biking trip to Grant Ranch. Some arrived by car, others by bike.Those crazy enough to biked with me to Grant Ranch climbed over 1000 feet of elevation over San Jose. They were constantly lied too about how much further it was till we descended, not because I wanted to give them false hope, but because I totally forgot how long the road was. Mr.Smith and Mrs. Salcedo drove the rest of the venturers to set up camp ahead of us. At camp we had burgers, hot dogs, pork meat balls and the classic camping food of all time, Balut! For those not familiar, Balut is a Filipino dish, which is basically fetal duck egg. The next day the crew took shuttle runs to the top of Mt. Hamiliton and rode bikes down from the top with Mr.Taube and Mr.Smith. For those biking down 4000+ feet of elevation topping over 30+ mph they needed nerves of steel and amazing coordination to make it down in one piece. On the way back home those daring went with on a mountain biking trail back to LCPA with me. Starting from the park entrance I took them up Halls Valley Trail, then taking Washburn Trail down. Plenty of climbing and bumpy descents, mixed in with a couple of spills made it a life changing moment for the three young men that joined me. Despite the big focus on biking, it was more of a bonding experience for themselves, to see how much they can push their bodies and minds to that limit and to go further. This is the type of learning that can't be taught in a classroom!Congrats and thanks goes to all the advisors and venturers who made the trip amazing! Also big thanks to Mr.Rodriguez, Mr.Smith and Cycles of Change for loaning bikes for the trip! - Manny " It's just one more ridge" Acosta Pictures can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mannyacosta/sets/72157624071866620/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Ritchey makes a bar end for bars with more sweep--the clamps are angled so that they don't stick outward. I had a set on some 17-degree sweep bars I used to run and they worked pretty well. I don't know how much sweep the Bull Moose bars have but from pics it looks like at least that much. They are just basic black barends so no aesthetic match for your woodies. I suppose you could cover them in leather or something... They're not Riv-ish but I have a spare set--contact me off list if you'd like to try them.

[RBW] duluth pack
Hey everyone, I noticed yesterday that Duluth Pack is making bike bags again. Panniers, a bar tube, and a hobo--but the hobo is set up to be a saddle bag instead of a bar bag. The straps are on the wrong side of the zipper. I shot them an email asking if they could do a bar version. Anyway, looks like the old Riv design for the most part.

[RBW] Re: bar ends for woodies?
I don't know of any mass produced woodie bar ends, but they might not be hard to make...get a dowel of comfortable diameter, cut them down to the length you want, miter the end so it ends up at a good angle even with the backsweep on the bullmoose, then think of some kind of attachment. Maybe some kind of hose clamp, or the band from an old pair of (road) brake levers with a bolt going into the wood?

IME, when you dunk your chain, clean or dirty, into your wax and let it "stew" (tm), said wax not only trickles, flows, insinuates, permeates and penetrates into the tiny, intimate orifices (hhhm) but, in so doing, washes, carries away and lustralizes the afflicting dirt and contamination. Just let it "stew" (tm).

[RBW] Cycle Salt Lake Century
Enjoyed a wonderful century ride on my new Sam on Saturday, complete with a mini-front rack, small Trunksack and fenders. Salt Lake City is not a lugged-steel hot spot and I saw only one other Rivendell (Atlantis with albatross bars?), a Heron, and a fellow on an RB-1 who seemed to appreciate that he had a very nice bike but didn't realize it was a classic. Lots of curious riders came over to ogle the Sam at the rest stops and I answered many questions about what kind of bike it was, its intended purpose (everything!), whether I had restored an old touring bike, and whether the Brooks saddle hurt (I've been hearing that question for years). I think most people presumed I was riding it for the novelty and they seemed surprised that this is my only bike (hopefully not for long--A.H.H. whispers to me in dreams). As some of you know I am new to the Rivendell experience and I was concerned that I'd miss the quickness of my "racing" bike. All anxieties proved unfounded as I was so comfortable on the bike that I rode the second half much faster than the first and finished with sufficient gas in the tank to go considerably further if necessary. I can't wait to ride it home from work today. D.G. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: Cycle Salt Lake Century
I rode Nitto Noodle bars and Jack Brown Blues for tires. I'd been planning to put on a faster tire per the suggestions to my "Speed Up My Sam" post but I didn't get around to it. I have the top of the stem about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch above the saddle height and the bars angled so the "ramp" down to the brake hoods is almost perfectly level. I can ride in the drops, on the hoods, on the "ramp" or the top of the bar with equal ease.

And, so it follows that since the "racer" mount is not supporting - indeed, it has not event the potential to support - a cantilever brake, we can not rightly refer to this mount as a cantilever post, lest we violate certain laws of truth and knowledge. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: Waxing the chain?
I'll take your word for it. I've not tried stewing on a truly dirty chain, but I have always stewed. If that's true, then you could coat a quarter in grease and leave one clean, drop them both in the stew and they'd be indistiguishable when they came out, right? Imagine the wasted time at the solvent tank that I'll never have back! Rats! Two different ways to get to the same required level of...ummintimacy, i suppose.

[RBW] Re: WTB: Nitto Bullmoose Bar
They are bringing out a second one with a longer reach. The first one was 150 and the new one is 200. Both will be available but at the moment they only got the 200 in. They are finishing them so they won't be on the site for a few more weeks. Maybe someone that has a set now that thinks they could use the longer reach would want to sell me theirs so they could get the new size??? :) On May 17, 6:54 pm, andrew hill wrote: > i wasn't aware there were two sizes..? > aren't the smaller just cut down larger? :) > > -a > > On May 17, 2010, at 3:50 PM, Johnny Alien wrote: > > > > > > > Only large Bullmoose bars in stock now and I need the 150 reach.

[RBW] Re: duluth pack
I cannot understand how the Duluth Pack Hobo bag as pictured can be attached to a saddle. In fact, as far as I can tell from their pictures, *they* don't either. The panniers look like a less fancy and less thoroughly thought through rendition of the upcoming Riv panniers writ large. They look *too* large to me (9" deep!). I'm sure some folks will want to use that space and can avoid heel strike and all that. But I'm looking forward to the Sackvilles, myself. Price matters, though.

RE: [RBW] Re: WTB: a White industry dingle
Well, I'm a bit confused--White Industries makes a double freewheel the Dos Eno and Surly makes a double fixed gear cog called the dingle. Tarik, are you looking for a coastie or a fixie? I'm using a Dos Eno freewheel on the Quickbeam and it's a keeper, but I have a Surly dingle fixed cog I'd part with.

Re: [RBW] Re: WTB: a White industry dingle
OK, Apparently not clear at all. to be specific I am looking for the white industries two cogged BMX freewheel. Colloquially this is a dingle freewheel, brand name as steve points out, it is not. So yes, Coastie white industrys dos eno freewheel like the one riv sells. Sorry for the confusion: http://www.rivbike.com/products/show/white-industries-freewheel/13-082 I would like not to double my investment in a dumb project by buying a new one to try out. It involves running my big dummy on single speed hubs as a six speed with three cogs up front for a while, just to see. see?

[RBW] Re: duluth pack
Check out Frost River, which, after a hiatus, is back in the saddle. I believe when the Frost River folks parted ways with Duluth Pack folks, they got the old riv patterns in the deal? I'm guessing it was Frost River that was making the Baggins Keven's Bag and the Baggins Loafers before Baggins Hobits went away to be replaced by the Sackville Hobits--worksmanship on the Baggins looks identical to other Frost River products I own. But you'll see these FR bags are truer to the old Baggins saddlebag and pannier designs than the new Duluth Packs. Incidently, I love both companies. cheers, liesl in minneapolis http://www.frostriver.com/bike_bags/bikebags_menu.html On May 17, 11:20 am, scott wrote: > Hey everyone, > I noticed yesterday that Duluth Pack is making bike bags again. > Panniers, a bar tube, and a hobo--but the hobo is set up to be a > saddle bag instead of a bar bag.

Re: [RBW] Re: duluth pack
IIRC, it was Frost River who last made the Baggins bags, and there was a difference in opinion over who owned those designs once Riv's contract with them ended. Frost River was/is selling the exact same Baggins-design bags under their own label though it sounded from Grant's post at the time that they had no license or agreement to do so. I'm sure there's plenty about it in the old Riv list archives. I understand why Rivendell has moved on, but I like this style of bag a lot. -- Bill Connell St. Paul, MN On Mon, May 17, 2010 at 10:01 PM, Liesl wrote: > Check out Frost River, which, after a hiatus, is back in the saddle. > I believe when the Frost River folks parted ways with Duluth Pack > folks, they got the old riv patterns in the deal?

Re: [RBW] Re: paul's racer brakes vs cantis questions
That is the correct, or one of the correct posts, or bosses. I interchange the terms but they both mean that thing. True, you won't be mounting cantilevers on them, but all our brakes use the same pivot setup that fits on those. There are several different styles, that one in the picture has a large offset, it's good for bikes with wide stays/blades. There are others with a much straighter path to the frame tube. Those are the ones to use, or your frame builder should use. Nova Cycle Supply has some pictures of them. Don't look to hard because before you know it you'll be shopping for a torchand lug sets and super light tubing..and an Anvil frame fixture. I'm suffering that problem as I write this. http://www.cycle-frames.com/bicycle-frame-tubing/CANTI-AND-U-BRAKE- BOSSES/ In either case it is important to build a simple fixture to keep the distance between the posts correct and keep them parallel to one another. Then mount them in the fixture and miter them to fit the tubes on the frame. This part is important as the side to side distance is critical, and the miters must match, pretty well, the the tubes they are to be brazed to. You can also cut a lot off the end to be brazed to the frame tubes to get the brake arms in closer to the frame for a stiffer setup.
