[RBW] Re: Hub Area Rack, new versus old?

[Michael Hechmer]

I tried to buy the HAR last summer and missed out by a day and have ben 
waiting for them to come back in stock.  However, with the added hoop I 
wonder if the rack will fit with a Mark's Mini or a small Nitto?  I don't 
want to give up that rack, I just want something that will go on and off 
the bike quickly and not interfere with either the small rack or the roof 
top tandem carrier.  Does anyone know if the new rack will work that way?

Re: [RBW] Re: Oregon Outback and water

[Deacon Patrick]

That is precisely why I gave riding time rather than distance. There is a 
huge difference between 25 miles depending on if it is: mountainous single 
track, rolling desert dirt roads, or paved roads. Then adding in rider 
differences, and the equation spreads out even more.

Regardless, if anyone does find themselves having to conserve water, 
breathe only through your nose. You lose dramatically less that way. I nose 
breathe all the time except when climbing at higher altitudes (usually 
starting at 11k feet). Since making the shift, I use 1/3 less water than 
without. Also, being low carb helps. For every gram of carbs processed, the 
body needs 3 grams of water (and ends up retaining that weight as well, 
that's part of why weight comes off so dramatically early on with a shift 
to low carb diet).

With abandon,
Patrick

One more thing.  I was planning on using this rack with my small Arkel

[RBW] Re: What components do you wish RBW would start "making"?

[Kieran J]

I wouldn't mind seeing a more deliberate/integrated front rack/LG Wald 
basket combo. A lot of people seem fine with using zip ties to attach the 
Wald to a Nitto or porteur front rack, but it always seemed like a 
workaround for a real solution that didn't exist. Wald is MUSA, no? Maybe 
work with them to produce a sturdy purpose-built support and attachment 
system?

Earlier in the thread people mention the less-than-ideal front-loaded 
handling of Rivs, but you certainly do see a lot of people using the LG 
front basket set-up, including a lot of Riv staff. Personally, I absolutely 
love this type of schtuff-carrying arrangement.

Tony, my recallection of those hollow, plastic lowest-end SIS thumb shifters is 
their palpable flex when being shifted. My mind knew I moved them enough, but 
my ears and feet telling me it has't happened yet. I would have volunteered a 
set of NOS XC Expert thumb shifters to the purp-aluki to improve the 
experience, albeit in friction mode. They would be a tactile improvement as 
will the Paul's Thumbies.

[RBW] Re: Hub Area Rack, new versus old?

[Shoji Takahashi]

Hi Michael,
I'm pretty sure that the hoop will not interfere with the Nitto Mini or 
Mark's rack. Here's a look at the HAR v1 and Nitto Mini. I'm guessing that 
the only difference with HAR v2 is the hoop tab-- if that's the case, this 
pic shows that HAR won't interfere with the front rack.
https://www.flickr.com/photos/stakx/14635282251/

I'm not familiar with the Arkel front panniers. If you'd like certain 
measurements of the HAR v1, I'd be happy to help. 

Happy Thanksgiving,
Shoji

Could be, an alternate means of joining fork tubes to crown. I wonder how 
hard to make a fork and crown and steerer and head tube that could all 
accept and pass through a wire from a dyno hub? It would be a neat way to 
get the voltage back through the frame and to a rear light. With an offramp 
at the crown to power a front light, too.

It could be a lug for segmented fork. That would permit a really big

https://www.flickr.com/photos/22538785@N05/4907380473/

It could also be used for segmented seat stays.

Re: [RBW] Re: Oregon Outback and water

[Jan Heine]

My water consumption depends very much on the temperature. In the early 
morning, I often ride 50+ miles on half a bottle. (I usually start rides 
well-hydrated.) If it's very hot and dry, I may drink a bottle every 10 
miles. Listening to my body is key to completing challenging rides.

I also don't plan to ride for 5 hours without water. However, I also don't 
limit myself by the fear of discomfort. If I have a 5% chance of being very 
uncomfortable, but not seriously hurting myself, then that is a risk I am 
willing to take in exchange for an unforgettable experience.

If they don't pull enough cable, you'll hate them (like mavic/simplex

they pull enough cable I bet you'll like them.  Getting a decent quality 
cable with the right end is going to be a little tricky.  I'd absolutely

Re: [RBW] What components do you wish RBW would start "making"?

[Montclair BobbyB]

Would love to see some high-quality retro-style friction thumb shifters and 
bar-end shifters.  The old polished aluminum Shimano m700 and Suntour XC 
shifters from the mid-80s were far superior to any friction thumb shifters 
available today, including the Paul bases with add-your-own shifters.  

I'd also like to see remakes of the old Suntour Barcons (or the Shimano 
spring-loaded bar-ends).  The current Shimano bar-end shifters by comparison 
are simply awful-feeling... There's simply no comparison.

Re: [RBW] What components do you wish RBW would start "making"?

[Patrick Moore]

+ 1 for this. The Nitto mount RBW sells, or used to sell, is no good for
modern saddles with rails that -- unlike those of the B17 -- are not
vertical at the rear: when mounted on, say, a Flite, the Nitto angles
downward, severely cutting into the space above the rear tire. Design it to
clamp to the saddle rails, thus obviating the need for clutter on the
seatpost. Such a bracket ought to be very easy and cheap to make -- I've
made my own crude versions that require no brazing or welding; my brother
has made better ones by brazing up old fork ends.

Another: A nice pump head, but less outrageously priced (ie, only modestly
outrageously priced) as the Hiroshi one.

And the biggie: a *nice* largish saddle wedge (no tweed, dammi!) that
mounts with no saddle loops -- a larger Banana Bag that can hold a 28 oz
Rivendell bottle.

[RBW] Re: What components do you wish RBW would start "making"?

[Mark Reimer]

Agreed. I like using zip-ties to attach my Wald basket to the Nitto Campee 
front rack on my Atlantis, primarily because I can cut them and remove the 
basket in about ten seconds if I'd prefer to use my Swift Ozette bag. 

Regardless of which setup I'm using, I find the Atlantis handles like a 
dream with a heavy and high front load. I even strapped a 40 pound bag of 
woodstove pellets to the rack, which was so tall that half the bag was 
above my already high handlebars. I was able to cruise home on snowy trails 
without an issue. It could be that I'm just so used to more aggressive 
frame geo that the Atlantis feels great by comparison, but I've never felt 
it needed improvement. I can ride with no-hands with a loaded basket/Ozette 
without running into flip-flip issues too.

[RBW] What components do you wish RBW would start "making"?

[Philip Williamson]

Cunningham drop bars. 

Everyone who gets into making flared drops has to redesign them to eliminate 
some imaginary flaw. I like the originals, and would buy a pair. 
I'd even buy a bullnose version!

Re: [RBW] What components do you wish RBW would start "making"?

[Tim Gavin]

The wide-flare Nitto RM-014 Dirt Drop is pretty darn close, but it's only
available in a 31.8 mm clamp diameter!  Maybe Riv could get them to make a
batch with 25.4 or 26.0 clamp diamter, in heat treated aluminum.  I'd buy a
couple!

Once I realized that none of my bikes could fit the RM-014 (no 1" threaded
stem in 31.8 clamp, without ugly adapters), I used them on a
90s-MTB-turned-all-rounder for my girlfriend.  She loves them; I quote her,
"these bars changed my life!".

For now, I'm pretty happy on the medium-flare B135 Randonneur bars.

Re: [RBW] Re: Oregon Outback and water

[Anne Paulson]

I'm not going to limit myself-- I'm going to do the Oregon Outback.
And I'd say that there is, not a 5% chance, but a 100% chance, that at
some point I'll be very uncomfortable.

But I'm going to carry extra water. I'd rather arrive back with water
to spare than ride 14 miles in the desert into a headwind. And if that
makes me slower-- well, take a look at my sig. I'm not racing. I just
want to have fun. (Not meaning to imply that racers aren't having fun,
but I'm a tourist.)

[RBW] Re: Speaking of Stem Shifters...

[Pondero]

Thanks, guys.

No commitments yet.  I'll look at the purchased product, along with my 
in-hand option, do a few mental calculations (shifter diameter and angle of 
travel comparisons), and make a decision.  If it doesn't appear that I have 
a decent chance of success, I'll probably opt for something I know works.

The old Suntours are still bodacious and kind of match the theme for this 
build.

[RBW] Re: New to me Atlantis

[Pondero]

Tony,

I considered the thumbies and the stem shifter approach together.  When 
Bill posted his stem shifter photo in the other thread, it nudged me in 
that direction and the order was placed.  The other factor is when I 
installed my SA three speed shifter on the stem of my Quickbeam, I liked it 
quite a bit.  So stem shifting is the first round, and thumbies are a 
backup plan.

[RBW] Old Steel Bicycles

[Eric Norris]

Just poking around the old intertubes, and ended up reading about Tommy Godwin, 
who set the still-unbroken record for most miles ridden in a year (75,065), way 
back in 1939!

Tommy’s bike was a 35-pound steel Raleigh, equipped with a 
then-state-of-the-art Sturmey Archer 4-speed hub. There are a number of photos 
of Tommy and his bike on the Tommy Godwin tribute web site (www.tommygodwin.com 
), and I was struck how much his bike resembles my 
1972 Motobecane,* also equipped with a Sturmey Archer hub (3-speed).  

Here’s a side-by-side comparison: https://flic.kr/p/pVjx8c 
 

Tommy’s accomplishment, which has stood for 75 years and may never be beaten, 
shows how much can be done a “primitive” bicycle. I’m inspired to take the 
Motobecane out for a ride.

Re: [RBW] Re: Oregon Outback and water

[Jan Heine]

Anne,

You don't sound like somebody who is limiting herself. I was thinking about 
the people who write to me asking how I can ride these rides and not be 
scared.

The precautions you plan to take are good ones. It's one thing to follow 
your dream, and an entirely different thing to be foolhardy. 

Funny thing about being tourists – I consider myself a cyclotourist, too. I 
stopped numerous times to take photos during the Oregon Outback. I had a 
choice between carrying a spare tire or my camera. It was an easy 
decision... When I raced, I carried neither!

I hope to meet you at next year's Oregon Outback. I am sure you'll find the 
ride enjoyable and rewarding.

[RBW] Re: Hub Area Rack, new versus old?

[John Phillips]

Mark at Riv confirmed that there will be no hoop for the older HAR's, but 
he didn't think it would be necessary.

How much weight are you people loading into your HAR's? 

Someone told me theirs had started to work it's way loose while holding 
only a down sleeping bag.

Maybe lots of Locktite on the bolt threads is a good idea?

[RBW] Re: New to me Atlantis

[Tony DeFilippo]

Andy - Thanks for the thought on the NOS XC Expert shifters, I'm sure they 
would improve the experience a ton.  I was willing to use those cheapie 
SIS's because I knew it was temporary but I'll start messing around with it 
again after Christmas.

Chris - Sounds great, I picked up on the stem shifting thread after my last 
post.  I definitely like how stem shifters minimize the cable run and open 
up the bars.  I wish I like downtube shifters like you have on the Saluki 
but I can't get used to the reach down that far.

[RBW] To Live & Ride in LA (Riv Sighting)

[Hugh Smitham]

While making my way to work in bumper to bumper traffic on Glendale
Boulevard wishing I was on my Riv rather than in my Miata (if your gonna
drive it's a fun ride) roadster...I spied an Orange Sam with canvas saddle
bags. I slowed and we had a brief exchange while I frustrated other
motorists. So we quickly exchanged names.

Matthew said he and his wife went to Riv Hq where the staff lent them 2
loaded bikes worth $$ and off they road on a test ride. Matthew exclaimed
what a great company! I concur.

Rivendell Bicycle Works an ever expanding niche that continues to bless.

Re: [RBW] Product placement coup by Riv in Consumer Reports review of Ford Transit Connect van

[Anne Paulson]

I don't know why they say bikes can't stand up in a minivan.

When I bought our Honda Odyssey, my son was still a stoker kid. We
rode up on the tandem to the dealer for the test drive. The first
thing we did, before the test drive, was try putting the bike in the
van. It fit easily:  I could pick up the bike and roll it into the
van. I put that tandem in the car often after we bought the car, when
my son and I would ride somewhere to meet my husband. Later I'd put my
single bike standing up in the van right next to my son's hockey
goalie gear when I took him to hockey practice.

Tandem riders sometimes think of a minivan as a tandem accessory.

Look again Marcus:  there is an Atlantis head badge!  I carry my Rivs in a 
Honda Element in a similar fashion but I remove the front wheel and attach the 
fork  to a fork holder fastened to a piece of decking board.

I have been considering the Transit Connect for when I need to replace my 
Element.  I'm encouraged now.

My Atlantis occasionally wears  V brakes but usually Paul cantis.

Re: [RBW] Re: I rode the Clem Smith proto this morning

[James Warren]

This visit today did not add any info about that; I didn't think of asking. I 
generally ride frames in the 60's, and on this I didn't have to raise the 
seatpost too much higher so I'm guessing it was the 59 cm. it fit me all right. 
Bosco bar. My typical Riv size is 64 or 65 in the 2-degree TT slope models, so 
59 in the 6-degree slope models is pretty close.

I believe the Clem Protovelo I rode is the only one they have available right 
now, so I think right now it's one size must fit all.

Happy Thanksgiving,
Jim W.

I'm seeing is the same Chevoit that's been up for awhile...  maybe they're 
selling quick?

[RBW] Re: Yet _even more_ travel coffee questions!

[hsmitham]

Been on a coffee hiatus but the aromatic roasted beans have pulled me back in! 
So I've been putting together a travel coffee setup of late. 

1. Got the Aeropress.
2. Good beans, but wouldn't mind some of Keven's "Under Water"roast.
3. Kettle & Stove.

The last piece of the kit...I was thinking about a portable grinder. Any 
suggestions? 

I was thinking of this one.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/281507380966?lpid=82

lastly, I can see where the benefits of a collapsible pour over system would be 
easier to transport. Damn if the Aeropress doesn't make a fine cup o' Joe.

Re: [RBW] Product placement coup by Riv in Consumer Reports review of Ford Transit Connect van

[lungimsam]

Tony DeFillipo's Atlantis had curvy chainstays. I saw it. I think they come 
that way based on Tonys.

Re: [RBW] Re: Yet _even more_ travel coffee questions!

[Dan McNamara]

That is the grinder to have, IMO. Fits (mostly) inside the Aeropress plunger. 
Good grind quality.
