[RBW] Re: Your dream RBW wheel set build, please

[Andrew Marchant-Shapiro]

A quick dynohub point...

I have around ten years and many, many thousands of miles on a Shimano 
DH3-N70.  It has been great to ride, and I sort of forgot it was there, 
until I recently started trying out other wheels.  In general, the drag is 
so low you don't notice it unless you're really thinking about it.

Then I got my hands on their most (?) recent version, the DH3-N80.  Even 
better.  Unbelievably.

I had always sort of pooh-poohed the efficiency differences I'd seen 
reported, but this may be time for a reconsideration.  I I understand that 
the German dynohubs are even better.

Consequently, if you have the money, I would lean that way (a Schmidt, 
say).  OTOH, if you'd like to keep the hub in reasonable territory, say 
under $130 or so, I'd strongly recommend that DH3-N80.  The thing is 
utterly fantastic.

[RBW] In San Diego this week

[Tony DeFilippo]

Hi SOCAL Riv-sters!  I'm going to be in town tonight thru Friday morning... 
Staying in the Gaslamp area.  I'll be pretty tied up with work but would love 
to catch a sunrise coffee or maybe an evening beverage if anyone is around.  
I'll have a rental car but no bike. If someone has a spare bike and wants to do 
a ride I'd love that too!


Hit me up off list!

Thanks Tony.
I installed the fenders and front rack in October/November.
Now I just need a decaleur for the bag.
Regarding trails:
There's also the Catonsville Trolley trail, which you can easily link up to the 
Grist Mill, BWI and B&A Trails and run them all in the same ride in that order 
and back!
Let me know when you decide to give them a ride, and I'll be glad to lead the 
way if you like!

"I'll be interested in learning if the tighter radius affects the shifting."

My wife's Atlantis came with the shifting cables wrapped under the bar tape 
all the way up, similar to Bill's.  It shifts perfectly with indexed 8 
speed Ultegra bar ends amd a Depre XT derailer.

[RBW] Re: Phase Two of an Atlantis build

[Bill Lindsay]

I'm not expecting a problem.  It feels normal on the stand and around the 
block.  The logical hypothesis is more bends should yield more friction. 
 But remember:

SRAM brifters run shift housing under the tape, and I don't hear a ton of 
complaining
Campy brifters run shift housing under the tape, and I don't hear a ton of 
complaining
Shimano brifters more recently run housing under the tape and I don't hear 
a ton of complaining
None of the above have a tighter radius than the loop back at the derailer, 
and everybody has that

I'm not worried about it.  

I really like running barcons completely outside of the bar tape, because 
that facilitates a much easier cockpit swap, and also facilitates a much 
easier boxing task for shipping.  Completely under the tape seems to make 
sense as well.  I'll probably never wrap the shift housing just along the 
drops again.

I also thoroughly enjoy how you applied that principle to bicycle

for the long-term.

That makes a lot of sense.  Especially since the loop at the rear derailer
is much more exposed to road dirt.  We should probably change--or clean and
lube--that little loop of housing more often than we do.

And I'll add to the applause for your solution to mount the big front rack
to the mid-fork eyelets.

Anyone find a good solution using the canti brake posts on a 26" wheel
bike?  I could never get things to line up, but I'm satisfied for now by a
M12 rack instead.

Everything still available, no money exchanged yet. I'll be heading out of

the 22nd to get shipped.

[RBW] PSA: Are you missing a large yellow Albatrossed A. Homer Hilsen ?

I re-posted this on our SCAR SoCal All Rounders Google Group. Probably the best

Re: [RBW] Re: FS: VO Baguette handlebar bag, plus sleeping bag liner and handlebars

Why Portland pickup only?  I wouldn't think shipping would be more than
$15.  Granted, that's more than what you're asking for the bars, but, you
noted they retailed for $55 new.

Re: [RBW] Re: Compass Loup Loup Pass 650Bx38

[Jim Bronson]

Ha, since you dug this old thread back up, I am still using the LoupLoups
and I'm still on the same batch I mentioned back in August.  Can't imagine
using anything else other than the Compass tires in general, and the
LoupLoups on this bike for sure, since that's the biggest that will fit
between the seatstays on my custom.

They have the great feeling of all the light fat tires that Jan Heine
popularized, but last much longer than any of the others I've tried like
the Grand Bois Cypress or the Pacenti Pari-Moto.  I'm getting at least 2500
miles per tire.  The Grand Bois would go out of round after 750-1000 miles
and the Pari-Motos were cut to shreds in less mileage than that.

I just finally got a flat on the back about 15 miles from the end of last
weekend's 600K that got me thinking I might want to replace the back tire
since I could see the casing through the puncture.  But instead I just
booted it and carried on, it's got at least 2000 miles on it so maybe eek
out another 500 ;)

My recently acquired Redwood is still 700c but when I get around to
replacing the tires I will probably try Compass Stampede Pass.  If I
convert it to 650B it will wear the LoupLoups.

Re: [RBW] Re: Friction shifting and pulleys again

[Jim Bronson]

I have a big ring of 44 and I use the 11 on almost every ride.  I'm pretty
happy with 44/28 up front and 11-34 in the back, 9 speed indexed shifting
with Microshift bar end, Deore M591-SGS derailer and HG50 cassette.  This
combination maxes out about 28-29 mph, which is fine for my usage.
Smallest gear of 28-34 has not had me walking as of yet.  (although, I
don't count it out on the several 20% grades around here).

My gofast has a 15 t small and a 17 t big (both fixed) with a single 46 t
ring (and 24 1/2" actual diameter 650C wheels). My ultimate top speed (at
least on 2 occasions) was 37.5 mph; my typical downhill top speed is 30
mph; and my typical downhill cruising speed is 25 mph. ~168, 136, 112 crank
rpm respectively. Flatland cruising: ~18-19 mph 80 to 85 rpm.

[RBW] Serial Number Reg

[Clayton.sf]

Hi All,

Could have sworn there used to be a serial number reg form on rivbike.com.
At least I have memories entering one. Does it still exist? If yes, can 
someone point me there. Can't seem to be able to find it.

Best,
Clayton

[RBW] Chocolate Goop

[David Yu Greenblatt]

OK, everybody please share your best chocolate goop recipe.

http://eatbacondontjog.com/post/103791058935/thanksgiving-without-blowing-it
http://eatbacondontjog.com/post/104655886490/mondays-dinner-pet-food-and-chocolate

I just got back from Trader Joe's and made my first batch with one can of
TJ's coconut cream, some unwhipped whipping cream, two heaping tablespoons
of cocoa powder, a few macadamia nuts, and 3 tiny scoops of TJ's organic
stevia extract (1 oz = 622 servings), blended in a VitaMix. Its OK but
pretty liquidy, probably needs more cocoa powder or shredded coconut or
something. I could only find sweetened shredded coconut at my TJ's, not
unsweetened.

Don't hold out. Whatcha got?

Re: [RBW] In San Diego this week

[Curtis McKenzie]

I was thinking of being in the gas lamp area around 5:15-5:30. Then a ride
along the bay to our favorite fish place in Pt. Loma. The ride is only
about 9 or 10 miles round trip.  If you are more into beer then we may go
inland to South Park and visit a fun Pub.

[RBW] Re: Chocolate Goop

[Deacon Patrick]

We equal the amount of cocoa powder to the amount of fat. So in your case, 
we'd 1:1 coconut cream (replace with butter or coconut oil, or cocoa 
butter) and cream to an equal amount of cocoa powder.

For add ins, I don't add in, I just eat things with it. Nuts, chili pepper, 
celtic salt, cheese, bacon, and other things I can't think of right now. It 
is fun to play with real food, isn't it? Grin.

With abandon,
Patrick

Patrick,

1:1 coconut cream and cocoa powder?!? By weight or volume?
A can of TJ's coconut cream is 14 oz. That would be a lot of cocoa powder
to mix in!

Re: [RBW] Re: Chocolate Goop

1 cup to one cup. It's hearty, dense stuff. Wouldn't make sense for a 
perishable mousse.

I make a licorice tea with ginger, cocoa powder, ceylon cinnamon, and I 
don't remember what else (my wife makes it now, as she has memory). 
Fantastic stuff!

[RBW] Re: Serial Number Reg

[dougP]

Clayton:

At one time there was a S.N. registration somewhere, but it may not have 
been on the Rivendell site.  I kinda-sorta remember it as being a separate 
thing but it was maybe 2-3-4 (?) years ago.  Hopefully someone will come up 
with a link.

[RBW] Ride Across America On An Orange Quckbeam

[Pondero]

I like the highly variable, and interesting highlights style of 
documentation...without all the details of trying to be a comprehensive journal 
account.  It's fun, and I might try it on my own blog.

[RBW] Re: PSA: Are you missing a large yellow Albatrossed A. Homer Hilsen ?

[Surlyprof]

This caught my eye as well.  I can't remember ever seeing a Rivendell on CL 
for under $1500.  However, the ad only lists it in "Good" condition, the 
photo is out of focus and it has been on CL for a couple of weeks at that 
price.  I guessed it might be in rough shape (maybe left out in the rain 
too long?).  Hard to tell from the ad.

[RBW] The new cycling revolution starts NOW! With one custom bike part! (Modified Silver Shifter)

[Bill Lindsay]

OK, that's a little hyperbolic, but I'm pretty excited.  I like downtube 
shifters, and Silver downtube shifters are great.  I use Silvers and I use 
the Suntour Sprints that Silvers copied.  They are *almost* perfect.  One 
thing I like a teeny bit better is that the very last Shimano downtube 
shifters had a neat little feature.  The left side shifter would not lay 
flat, parallel with the downtube.  It had a built-in internal stop that 
made it stop a bit early.  That way, when you reach through to grab that 
left shifter with your right hand, it was sitting up high and was easier to 
grab.  I always thought that was pretty slick.  

The piece that causes Silvers, and Suntour, and Campy, and Gipiemme 
shifters to stop parallel to the downtube was the same little piece.  It's 
a flat piece of aluminum with a square hole in it, and a bent tooth in just 
the right place.  I went ahead and worked out a design for a different base 
plate piece that has the tooth repositioned to give my Silver shifters that 
Shimano feature of grab-ability.  I had my brother-in-law work up a solid 
model and I ordered a prototype from a machine shop.  I test installed it 
tonight, and it works just like I planned it.  

Photos prove I can overthink almost anything:   Silver 2.0 


Now I'm looking into more cost effective manufacturing methods to see if 
it's feasible to make a run of these for other downtube zealots to geek out 
on.

[RBW] Re: PSA: Are you missing a large yellow Albatrossed A. Homer Hilsen ?

[Bill Lindsay]

Good connection.  Emil did own a 650B Hilsen with 700c wheels and short 
reach brakes.  That would make the 56cm part feasible.
