[RBW] Re: Hilsen = All-Rounder?

2012-09-16 Thread Matthew J
Have you considered getting a zippy wheel set?  A lighter wheel set with 
higher gearing and event tires - maybe even tubular if you want - can make 
a big difference.

Re: [RBW] Cycling in the Economist

Yes, I think smaller/midsized cities are really poised to reap benefits
from cycling infrastructure if the people/cyclists can advocate and exert
pressure (and elect people) who are willing to create better places to
cycle.   That is what we are seeing in Reno anyway.  There have been
hiccups along the way but in the last 10-15 years it has been extraordinary
the shift here.

Re: [RBW] Re: Hilsen = All-Rounder?

2012-09-16 Thread cyclotourist
For my $.02, I think an AHH is a bit to the lighter weight end of
the continuum than an AR,and an Atlantis a bit on the heavier end. Weight
meaning tougher/stronger along with mass. A Sam H might be the best
comparison other than the sloping TT. So if you wanted something
significantly lighter/sportier, a Roadeo or Ram or Rom would probably make
you happier.But as Matt J said, you could have a heavy wheel component mix
on one of the triple Rs above, or a ultra-light mix on the AHH and have a
hard time saying which one is sportier!

Long Beach, CA seems to be getting a lot of attention for it's bike
infrastructure commitment. It's a medium sized city, similar to MLPS.
Approximately half a million people, but is in the middle of the Greater LA
megalopolis. Year round fantastic weather.

I think the dia compe 750s might be too long,  even at the highest point of
the brake pads.   Have you looked at the gran compe 610?   It looks like a
high quality brake with a lower price than the paul brakes have.   I have
to say though, paul brakes are worth saving up for if you can wait.

[RBW] Interrupteur levers and cloth-over-cork on the Sam

2012-09-16 Thread Scot Brooks
Here's the evidence photo http://imgur.com/6oYKY

I finally got around to doing a couple of things on the SH that I've been 
putting off because of laziness. Just thought I'd share because I'm sorta 
proud of myself for getting it done and not catastrophically screwing it up 
:)

1. Soma Interrupteur (ter) levers, and they're pretty awesome. Totally nice 
for when I'm braking with one hand and shifting to a low gear with the 
other hand when coming to a stop. I also spend a lot of time with my hands 
up there and it's nice to have the reassurance of brakes-at-the-ready. 

2. New bar wrap with cork underneath and shellacked Neubaum's on top. It's 
the holy grail, or at least it seems that way after the first ride today.

[RBW] FS: Sam H., 60cm, Orange canti version

2012-09-16 Thread Dan
Hi All - - Checking for interest here before going to ebay.  Bought this to 
replace my old bike, then realized my old bike fit better.  So, for sale is the 
last-generation canti Sam, orange in color, in excellent shape.  Coupla paint 
chips on the head tube where the cables go by (so pretty much hidden by the 
cables) and that's about it.  A little drippage where the previous owner 
shellacked his bars whilst on the bike, so there are a couple drips on the 
forks, but nothing much.

Really a beautiful frame with outstanding craftsmanship, disappointed that it 
doesn't fit better but I am not your typical build so it's not the first time.  
Happy to supply pics to iinterested parties.

Asking $750 plus shipping ($35?). WIll be packed in Riv-supplied box and 
wrapped in Riv-supplied foam and whatnot.

thanks, Dan S., near Madison, WI

ps. Apologies from a mostly-luker posting of an FS; I assume if this is taboo a 
moderator will take this down...?

[RBW] Re: Hilsen = All-Rounder?

2012-09-16 Thread rw1911
My current wheels are Velocity Synergy rims with Shimano XT hubs and
db spokes.  For tires I use either Pasela TGs or Marathon Racers. (I
can't decide which prefer)  Both are 700x35.  I imagine some zippy-
ness could be found maybe with lighter 700x28 tires.

What would be considered a zippy wheelset?  Ultegra or Dura Ace hubs
and Mavic Open Pros or something more exotic?  While widely available,
the problem I have is the All-rounders are spaced for a 135mm MTB bike
hub.  I suppose I could crank down the skewer and use a standard 130mm
road hub, but I don't know if that would be OK or a good long term
solution.

[RBW] Steel is real as opposed to it being imaginary.

2012-09-16 Thread Manuel Acosta
Picked up my Hillborne at Rivendell HQ after being in a minor mishap.

http://flic.kr/p/d5H1A1

The great folks fixed it with no problem. Apparently the chain ripped up 8 
spokes on the drive side and they needed to be replaced.
Got to talk to Dave about the new bike stuff. I could talk about the cool 
features, headbadges, etc but to be honest I totally forgot. I remember 
something along the terms that you can't wheelie with the new bike. Dav 
says it's virtually impossible. I suggested putting that on the downtube. 
"It's virtually impossible to do a wheelie on this bike, but you should try 
anyway." Don't think that would fit though. 
Like typical Rivendell visits most of my time spent here ends up with me 
hanging out and talking about non-bike related things and measuring 
calf circumference. 
After two hours I remembered what I needed a new hat and a tube kit not to 
mention a new chain and derailleur. 
By far the second time I had to install a derailleur on my bike at the 
shop. 
Thanks again to the lovely folks of Rivendell. Now I get to ride a bike 
with gears and can carry stuff. 

Pictures prove that steel is real as opposed to it being imaginary.

[RBW] Re: Hilsen = All-Rounder?

2012-09-16 Thread Tony Lockhart
You can actually add spacers to your 130mm hubs to make them fit. I am 
currently running Ultegra hubs with Open Pro rims on my Sam Hillborne and 
absolutely love the combo. The trick is to add 2 one millimeter spacers to 
each side, and then you're close enough to the 135mm spacing. I typically 
run one of the following three tires: Pasela TG 32mm, Ribmo 28mm, and 
Vittoria Randonneur Hyper 32mm.couldn't be happier with the options 
with this setup. 32mm tires fit perfectly on Open Pros, and I'm a heavier 
guy (180 pounds). Heck, you can even get Ultegra hubs with 36 
spokes...definitely a win-win.
