Re: [RBW] Re: Berthold Fender Installation- It went so smooth.. till it didn't.. sheesh

2011-09-18 Thread Ken Freeman
One point: Do not do anything involving bicycles and fasteners over grass.
 Usually if (WHEN!)
you drop one it will become buried under all the grass and not findable.
 Then you're faced with
replacing a usually unique bolt or washer (such as something on a Campy or
Shimano part) that
may or may not have a thread known to man or a known thread with a uniquely
small bolt head.
Either way getting a workable replacement can become a major Internet search
(ordering a
Campy bolt) or fabrication process (improvising a Shimano part) that is at
least as challenging
as riding that century you were planning for two days hence.

Chasing running bolts and washers across basement and garage floors is
greatly preferable to
replacing parts lost in the grass.

Beyond that, Steve is right about keeping your yoga and meditation up to
date and making bike
work a meditative exercise.  Shaking fronds of the correct mix of field
grasses in the appropriate
directions while mutterring incantations should help a lot, too.  Make sure
the spirits will help you.

Can't help with containers, but if you are traveling internationally I
highly recommend using non-US carriers. In my experience they are much
more likely to check your bike for free as one of your pieces of

[RBW] FS - Books, Avocet 50

2011-09-18 Thread Marty
The Dancing Chain, 2nd edition. Perfect condition. I'll throw in a nice 
hard-cover Eddy Merckx book too. Both classics! $35 shipped here in the USA. 
Also a nice nearly new Avocet 50 Altimeter with the original and amazing 
packaging. I have it listed on e-bay right now, but will end the auction 
early if anyone jumps in. I'm asking minimum of $100. That sounds like a 
lot, but this is quite rare, and the packaging alone is incredible. (That 
and I'm getting close to having enough for a Simpleone.)

Alex Wetmore had (has?) a site on his touring tweaks, featuring DIY
mudflaps.  His reasoning is that a flap blocks more water from soaking your
feet, BB, crank, and chain, the lower it's bottom extends.  So, as low as
you can, as long as any contact with the ground is tolerable.

If you've got to work outdoors (and I usually do) it helps to spread a
large cloth under the bike to catch what you drop.  Because you
certainly are going to drop something sooner or later, and Ken is right,
learn from his experience rather than yours.

[RBW] Motobecane Build - a set on Flickr

2011-09-18 Thread Eric Norris
Patrick from ABQ sold me this frame, and I just completed the build today. I 
saw this bike in another incarnation when Patrick and I went for a ride on the 
Bosque Trail in Albuquerque earlier this year, so I knew I had to have it when 
he offered it for sale. 

I built it up using a wheelset based on Sturmey Archer's 3-speed fixed gear 
hub, the goal being a very functional bike that I can take on extended rides 
that include steep climbs (my annual post-Thanksgiving ride comes immediately 
to mind).

The paint is original, and its patina of use lends a great aura to the bike. I 
had originally considered getting it powder coated, but now I'm thinking of 
leaving it as is.  It's certainly very Grant-ish in its current condition.

Fenders are from Planet Bike--I think the fender line came out pretty nice.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/35176895@N03/sets/72157627576981351/with/6160493179/
 

Recycling notes: The handlebar tape is vintage Bike Ribbon, bought for $1 at 
the local thrift store months ago. Fenders were bought from a friend for about 
$30. Handlebar and stem are from another bike, as is the saddle. The only new 
items needed to get this project on the road were the wheels, a new bottom 
bracket (I didn't have a Swiss-threader bottom bracket in the parts bin), and 
new brake cables and housing.

[RBW] A sob story and a WTB plea

2011-09-18 Thread BykMor
Hello friends,

I just completed a wonderful, if not quite pleasant, ride on my racing 
Rivendell Rambouillet. 420 miles from Salt Lake City to St George, UT in 28 
hours and 1 minute ( http://salttosaint.com/ ). We didn't get many pictures, 
but here I am ( 
https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/KARNLpmQ24hBc7khJ3Jy7Q?feat=directlink ) 
at the start about to attach a rain jacket, which would get MUCH use, on to 
the small Sackville TrunkSack. It can be seen hiding behind my helmet there. 
The trunk matches perfectly with the green Rambouillet, Brooks saddle, bar 
tape... or I should say, "matched". After all of the aforementioned items 
carried me, in fine fashion, all the way to southern Utah, someone decided 
to steal my TrunkSack right off of my bike. Rivendell doesn't have the green 
sack any more, so I am hoping one of you fine folks might have one in your 
basement that is not being used and would be willing to part with it. I 
don't want it if it's being put to good service. If you can help please 
contact me. Thank you.

Long live long rides,
BykMor
aka Steve Wasmund

Re: [RBW] Motobecane Build - a set on Flickr

2011-09-18 Thread Eric Norris
I chose to set it up with my "regular" gear as the top gear. That choice was 
dictated in part by the hub, which has the top gear as direct drive. In my 
experience with internal hubs, direct drive is the most efficient--whenever you 
engage the gears, it feels more sluggish (regardless of what the experts say).

So I now have a top gear of 70 inches and two lower fears of 53 and 44, which 
should get me up just about any hill I'm likely to come across.

[RBW] Solo Riding.

2011-09-18 Thread Manuel Acosta

Nothing like riding solo to get the mind focus on the week ahead.
Hopefully the troubles of life haven't made you forget the things that
are important, like riding your bike.

One picture can prove that it happened:

[RBW] New vs original grid grey fabric and leather trimmings...

2011-09-18 Thread René Sterental
I just received my new XS Grid Grey Saddlesack (they are just back in stock)
and to my surprise, the fabric is very similar to the original but not quite
the same. The same is true for the leather trimmings. The good news is that
the grey fabric doesn't seem to be discontinued in general, just the
original version. I haven't been able to find out what happened, but my
guess is that they ran out of the original and the newest shipment isn't
quite the same.

If you aren't crazy about matching bags, it'll be OK. If you are... I miss
those light colored lines.
