[RBW] Big Apples and Sams

2011-10-03 Thread ccanter

Searched the archives and can't find anything conclusive.  Anyone put
700 x 50 Big Apples on their first run 700c green, canti-equiped
Hillborne?  If so did it work?  Any clearance left to speak of?  I
think max tire on the first Sams was 44mm and 45 on the later ones.
(??)  RBW web site shows pics of the BA;s with a caliper reading
44.55mm.
Thanks,
Clyde

Pulled from an early 90's Trek 360.

Trimmed to 265mm Long. Aluminum alloy. Made in USA.
Some discoloration from age, but works just fine.


Looks like the top one on this page:

Will ship to anyone, anywhere. Would just ask for help with the postage. 
Probably 3 to 4 dollars in US.

[RBW] Re: "Wow you go really fast on that thing"

2011-10-03 Thread Peter Pesce

I did a large (3000+ riders) metric century earlier in the summer and got a 
number of comments.
The first, as expected, was from a passing roadie to his buddies,  "Man, 
it's gonna be a long day on THAT thing," referring to my Sam.
Happily, it got better after that. I got passed by probably several hundred 
people over the course of the day (I'm slow) and all of the dozen or so 
comments I got from other riders were positive, mostly "nice bike" or "cool 
bike." One guy who spent 20 minutes or so on my wheel (I'm slow, but I punch 
a HUGE hole in the air!) had a lot of time to study my bike and we had a 
nice chat when he finally went by. He asked how old it was, and commented on 
the old-school centerpulls and lots of shiny silver bits.

[RBW] Re: Twin legged kickstand

2011-10-03 Thread Peter Pesce

I use one on my LHT commutility bike and love it. I cut the legs down so 
that one wheel is only 1/2" off the ground (it usually sits nose-down when 
empty, but tail-down with anything on the back. It had it almost perfectly 
balanced the other day, so it would rock back and forth on its Big Apples 
for quite a while with a little push, but I digress...). If you are going to 
cut the legs, be sure you adjust them for the fattest tire you plan to run. 
Also, as others have said, the front tire will flop if your bike is tail 
heavy. I have a big chunky CETMA rack on mine, which exacerbates the 
problem, so I installed on of those spring stabilizer things.
Also, the bike is more stable on the 2-leg for loading, but it still will 
not stand up to large asymmetries. A full grocery bag on only one side of 
the rear rack will tip it over easily, but I can carry my briefcase pannier 
on only one side without a problem. I'd guess the briefcase is only about 
5lbs, where the grocery bag is probably 15lbs.

[RBW] Re: "Wow you go really fast on that thing"

2011-10-03 Thread Jim Thill - Hiawatha Cyclery

I forget the exact wording, but the Bike Snob NYC book described "roadies" as 
not really enjoying cycling, always trying to minimize effort, minimize riding 
time, etc. I've also noticed that the stereotypical roadies are the least 
imaginative cyclists, who consider a road bike with 105 parts to be a 
completely different machine than a road bike with an Ultegra group, or 25 mm 
tires to be excessively plush. Your Hillborne is simply outside their limited 
realm, even though to most of us here, it is entirely normal. I had a 
three-wheeled rickshaw, which was very clearly a pedal-powered pickup truck. 
One time I was hauling a chest of drawers across town. Three different roadies 
asked "what's that thing for?" On other occasions I was asked how much it 
weighs!

[RBW] Non-existant Tire

Hi, 
I think the tire I'm looking for doesn't exist.
I had been using Panaracer Pasela TG 700x37's on my Hillborne for the better 
part of 2009 till last spring when I rebuilt the bike without fenders and 
with Schwalbe Marathon Dureme 50's!.  The tires are really too big for the 
Hillborne, but they do fit and there's about 5mm of clearance at the chain 
stays.  I'm rebuilding the Hillborne post new paint job as a fendered tourer 
again and need slightly smaller tires.

So, here's what I'm looking for:
A tire, like the Pasela, with a *gum skin wall*.
Something between 40mm and 50mm...ideally a true 45mm.
Something capable of most roads and trails.

Any suggestions?
 thanks
Jason

If you want to use the holders, the Kool Stop "V Type" inserts should
work though I'm not positive.  However, I highly recommend ditching

[RBW] Re: Non-existant Tire

2011-10-03 Thread jinxed

WOW...yep! I want the exact same tire for the Hilsen. 

Like you, I have been running the Pasela TG 700x37. 

I have even talked myself into liking the way all black tires look to open 
up the choices. So far the Marathon line up has been most promising, but it 
seems they have true measurements of under 40 then jump up to 50. Those are 
crazy expensive tires to "maybe" fit on the big end. I would run Big Apples 
if I could...but realistically, 42-44 would be sweet.

There is a tire being put out by J&B Importers under their house brand 
Origin8 that looks to be a Marathon sorta kinda look alike. Specs say it has 
a kevlar protection, folding bead, all black with reflective side stripe. 
29x1.75 (44.4). I think they retail @ $24ea. I might try a set of those.

Still...I would rather dig on a set of Supremes in a 42ish.

Re-read the subject line: it's a Bridgestone Atlantis.

The fork crowns were later used for XO1 crowns.

According to Riv article from some time ago, Grant said there were
only about 300 (?) made -- and none were imported.

I bought one at my local Goodwill a few years ago for $12.

Too small.

Sold it,.

[RBW] Re: Brake Shoes for Tektro 720's

Jason:

My Tektro 720s came with black pads that wore out in a couple of
years.  I replaced them with Kool Stop salmons.  I just bought the
pads & slid them into the Tektro holders, perfect fit.  These are the
long ones that extend way back into the fork.  40 mm front tire needs
a bit of a squeeze to get between the pads.

I had gotten some generic V-brake pad inserts on a tour & had to
whittle them with a razor blade to get them into the holders.  So make
sure you get the right pads for your holders.

2011-10-03 Thread William

Yes, replacing v-type inserts involves pulling that silver pin.  Your new 
inserts should come with new pins, also.  Keep the extras because they tend 
to disappear when you drop them in your workshop.  To Doug P's point above, 
I concur that there are some minor variations in the exact geometry of the 
metal holders.  You want a snug slide in fit.  I've had some combinations 
where the pads were a hair loose in the holders and that actually kind of 
rattled in there.  I decided not to run that combination.

[RBW] Dirt Roads of Washtenaw County (Michigan) Ride Report and Photos

2011-10-03 Thread Amit Singh

Dear Rivendell Owners Bunch;

Dad and I were supposed to go bicycle camping in Traverse City this weekend, 
but when I came down with an upper-respiratory infection we decided it was 
best if the trip was cancelled and I was given a chance to rest.  I didn't 
take that chance, and besides this terrible cough, runny/congested nose and 
a slight fever, overall, I felt pretty good!  So it was decided to ride 
Friday and Sunday.  Both were spectacular rides, but Sunday's was perhaps 
most memorable.

I was tired up of roads and traffic and wanted to do something different, so 
I suggested trying out the Dirt Roads of Washtenaw County.  Dad is all about 
efficiency, so he wanted to take a more local route - something we could get 
to without driving.  He's also flexible and up for adventure, so he agreed 
to letting me drive us to the WashCo Dirt Road ride.  I also invited Tom, 
thinking that he'd enjoy the morning air and it would be good for him and 
dad to hang out.

We started packing and preparing around 8 am Sunday morning, each wearing 4 
or 5 layers of wool, and boy, did we need it.  The temperature was around 
42* when we left, but warmed to about 47* by the time we arrived.  
Thankfully, this was a short commute, maybe 25 minutes away from home, but 
because of searching for an enigmatic Kinko's to make copies (which we never 
found) of our map, it ended up taking us close to an hour.  Thankfully, Tom 
is an artist and works quickly, so we had a detailed working map to ride 
by.  We parked the Land Rover at a local cafe and had our morning intake of 
fresh mushroom and spinach quiche.  It was delicious, just what we needed to 
get our engines going.

We picked a 40-ish mile route, made up almost entirely dirt roads and 
started our journey in the town of Dixboro, riding almost immediately into 
densely wooded forests mixed with golden farm country and spattered with 
crystal-clear lakes.  The foliage created beautiful and vibrant scenery and 
coupled with the crisp wind, we could feel and see the beginnings of fall.

There's more to see and be a part of, including huge wild llamas, 
catch-me-if-you-can deer and foraging for the most delicious apples I've 
ever tasted.  There's also a Rivendell Atlantis, Saluki and an A. Homer 
Hilsen.

Photos here .

I hope you enjoy :)

Amit

[RBW] Re: Brake Shoes for Tektro 720's

2011-10-03 Thread EricP

I have the Yokozuna pads on two of my bikes and my wife's one bike.
We both like the way they deal with Minnesota weather.

FWIW, the mechanic at my LBS prefers a fairly generic one piece pad/
post brake pad.  Have them on my third bike and they work just as well
as the more expensive options.  More work when the pads wear down.
But might be worth the effort.

[RBW] "Wow you go really fast on that thing"

2011-10-03 Thread kps

I got my own "is that a ten-speed?" and "how old is it" question today about my 
Roadeo.  My bike was "parked" in my shop.  The guy was really nice, but he just 
thought my bike had to be older...I ended up telling him about Rivendell. :-) -

[RBW] WTT: 46cm Noodles for 44cm + 2 sets Tektro brake levers for trade + Brand V bar bag

2011-10-03 Thread ejg

Hey folks, 
I have a set of 46cm Noodles that I'd like to trade for 44cm. I received 
them used from someone on the list and they are pretty nice, with some 
peeling on the "heat treated" red band. There will probably be some shellac 
and tape residue when I unwrap em.

Also have 2 sets of Tektro brake levers I want to trade or sell. I think 
they are R200 and R100. Anyway, I am looking for Dia Compe Gran Compe aero 
levers (off white hoods preferable) and also looking for Suntour Superbe 
Aero brake levers.   Will consider other vintage aero levers. I prefer the 
shape and feel of them.

Brand V boxy bar bag. This is the newer version and is in nice shape. Hasn't 
seen much use. I'd like to trade for a "loafer" style front bag or Sackville 
or another type of rando bag, but I am open to ideas 

Thanks 
EJG (Jason)

Thanks David! Cool article.
And yes, Sept. 29 next year. Sounds good to me too. The organizers did a great job. You pay them, and they take care of it all. That would just leave us to arrange our Riv subculture meetups or carpools.

[RBW] Re: Brake Shoes for Tektro 720's

The silver pin retains the shoe into the holder.  Just pull it
straight up.  I re-used the original; it doesn't get any load.  A
buddy lost one while we were on tour & just replaced with a piece of a
paper clip.  It's not anything high tech.

[RBW] jaxed and craigslist

2011-10-03 Thread Seth Vidal

Hi folks,
 I don''t know if I was the only one here who used bike.jaxed.com to
look for rivs (and other bikes) available on craigslist. But I used it
quite a bit and when the craigslist links were removed due to a C&D
from craigslist I was a bit sad.

So I wrote a craigslist crawler for my own personal use that takes a
simple config file and searches for whatever I want over whatever set
of cities from craigslist then parses out the results (and pictures)
and makes a nice page of the 100 most recent ads from craigslist.

It's not entirely trivial to use  - you need the programming language
python and at least one non-default module (BeautifulSoup)

If you're comfortable with python and with command line programs in
general and would like to take a look at it email me off-list.
