Re: [RBW] Re: Adding braze-ons and painting my "new" Rambouillet

[Will]

I give a +1 to this. I added racks to 2 older Motobecane and Peugeot frames 
that did not have barrel braze-ons. I used the Tubus adaptor clamps. It's a 
robust solution and, in my view, may work better many original braze-ons 
since you can place them precisely where they are most effective for the 
rack you are installing. 

An aside, if you haven't tried a Tubus rack... do so. Like many here, I had 
visions of front load carry... but discovered Tubus racks and Ortleib quick 
release panniers are extremely satisfying alternatives. If your bike is 
designed for rear loads, rejoice!!! Do not compromise the design. 
Complement it. You will not regret.

[RBW] Re: Knobbies for 26" Atlantis

[Jim M.]

Riv has the Smart Sams, which I've used in 700 and they ride well.

Asking about knobbies opens up a whole can of worms. Do you think the mix 
is more toward dirt or road? What kind of dirt -- soft, rocky, rooty? Do 
you want to go towards a faster, lighter tire, or more bombproof?

Re: [RBW] Knobbies for 26" Atlantis

[Tim Gavin]

Fat Franks are great tires, like a Very Big Apple.  But their tread isn't
knobby enough for sloppy surfaces; they're great gravel or dry dirt tires.

For a Schwalbe knobby, the Smart Sam looks like a winner.  Available in 55
and 60 mm widths in 559/26" diameter.

Schwalbe's Nobby Nic looks a little faster than the Smart Sam, and the
Thunder Burt is even faster (center file tread, outer knobs).

I've had a good experience with WTB Mutano tires on my 26er trail bike.
They're fast and have enough tread for occasional slop.  Mine were listed
as 2.4" wide, but they're really more like 2.2" wide on average-width rims.

[RBW] Re: Knobbies for 26" Atlantis

[Deacon Patrick]

I love my Smart Sams (700c/29er) on my Hunqaillar. I ride a wide range of 
surfaces with them, from miles of paved, to packed dirt, loose dirt, 
trails, muddy (but not soggy mud) and pockets of really loose gravel and 
sand, snow. They do poorest in the looser stuff, excellent on all the rest, 
though my riding is not super aggressive, so a more specialized tire would 
likely be lost on me.

With abandon,
Patrick

Re: [RBW] Re: Knobbies for 26" Atlantis

[Chris Chen]

So I did enjoy the 42mm wide Cazaderos, because of the smooth center thread
and knobs on the sides. I also found the Clement MSO to be a very nice
mixed tire. Not sure any of these are available in 26". The Panaracer
Driver Pro looks very interesting too, I think that comes in a 26". The
center is textured but not knobby but there's a nice side knob.

No no no. We just got a shipment. 

As for "all must go"  sometimes I channel my local mattress commercials 
when I send those. Up next:  "free delivery and disposal of your old

Thanks for your concern, but Nitto is here to stay. If we sell out, we'll 
get more promptly.

My take is the coupon is good on in-stock stuff "while supplies last".  The 
piece above that talks about Nitto's expertise in making stuff that's both 
functional and beautiful.  I'll bet Nitto & Rivendell have a long, long 
future together.

Re: [RBW] First Chance 200K Brevet: The Video

[Jim Bronson]

Jealous, the weather was crap down here in Texas on NYD.  Although we
did do a nice 200K on Saturday the 3rd, if a bit cold to start - about
37F, but warmed up to around the lower 60s under a brilliant sunny
sky.

8:30 is a fast time.  Is that typical for you?  Our group on the 3rd
finished in 10:19 and had a similar amount of climbing.  Although, we
had 4 flats on the ride and the whole group stopped when the flats
happened.  Plus the lunch stop in Liberty Hill, TX was a little
leisurely - they have a great deli that makes sandwiches that are
absolutely stuffed to the gills with the good stuff!  At any rate, not
sure what our rolling average was.

Re: [RBW] Re: Winter Welcome Wagon [Share Your Pics]

[Tony DeFilippo]

Proof of concept ride!  The 1-3" dusting ended up being a bit more of a 
storm than most expected this morning but I had a BLAST getting to work. I 
underestimated how much extra work riding in the snow would be, any more 
snow and I'd probably wish I had gears.  The Xo-3 did fantastic, drive 
chain was good, brakes held up perfect, the alba's kept me stable and in 
control... and of course the Nokian Mount and Ground studded tires did 
great. In the fresh (still falling) morning snow I felt 100% stable.  In 
the evening commute the Mount Vernon Trail proved to be pretty treacherous 
with a crusty and bumpy ice surface but the tires still held up well.  More 
than anything the evening ride took a ton of concentration.  And yes the 
last picture is from my coffee stop, Misha's in Old Town to meet my buddy 
Wes who was also trying out his new studded tire winter bike (a drop bar 
Trek Antelope).

I'm doubtful about tomorrow, wind chills are supposed to get the temp down 
awfully low and I doubt the trails will improve overnight.  Maybe by Friday!

Those look promising, fairly light weight. Mike how did they roll on SoCal 
dirt? Are they fast on pavement? 

I've been running the WTB "All Terrains" their okay decent on loose dirt and 
moderately fast on pavement, I won't be breaking any land speed records. I'm a 
bit disappointed that the side walls show some cracking otherwise they're 
wearing well.

Re: [RBW] Re: Adding braze-ons and painting my "new" Rambouillet

[Peter Adler]

I can speak to the virtues of both these gadgets, as I am using both to 
attach my Bruce Gordon racks to my Raleigh International. Bruce uses 
flat-steel rails to attach his rear rack, and advocates the better-grade 
Nitto P-clamps (and includes them with the new racks...but really, ecch. If 
I have a nicey-nice rack, I want the whole thing to look nice. So I 
replaced all the stock attachment widgets with Tubus rails/clamps/swivel 
mounts/extenders, and I'm much happier.

The sizing of the Tubus clamps is a little more appropriate to steel tubing 
- not like the "close enough" of P-clamps. I've had much more secure 
attachment since I went to the Tubus bits, and a lot less noise.

BikeBagShop.com also sells Tubus attachment bits. They have rotating 10% 
off specials on most of their product line throughout the year; Tubus and 
Ortlieb normally come up together, about 2-3 times a year.

Re: [RBW] Re: Winter Welcome Wagon [Share Your Pics]

Tony,
Great pics and write-up.  Bravo on biking today!  
I was wishing I had been biking while I sat in gridlocked traffic at 6:15am 
today.  A snowplow took out a power pole and blocked all traffic lanes on 
Connecticut Avenue.  Good times!
I definitely need studded tires for my bike.  Today's commute made that 
evident. 
Stay warm.

Great pics, Tony! Yes, you'll likely find that snow resistance varies with 
type and temperature and freeze/thaw cycle, etc. There is a reason Inuit 
have over 30 words for snow -- each flavor is a vastly different 
experience! Grin. Enjoy!

Nice for being out. I'm at the point of chickening out of riding these past
few days.  We did get up to +8F today.  Lots of black ice.  Even though I
have studded tires, the cars don't.  Snow can be fun.  Or, once it packs to
a hard icy surface, not so much.  At least to me.

Thanks Erl, I was wondering if you were riding today...  The riding while it is 
still snowing hard was pretty fun!

Patrick I was thinking if all your great pictures when I decided to stop and 
take those shots this morning.  Your winter wonderland trail photos are always 
inspiring!!

[RBW] Knobbies for 26" Atlantis

[Dennis Hogan]

Anne - I put Rock&Roads on my AHH and loved them for road (they had a pleasing 
whooshing sound) and dirt and sand ( though in limited amts). Gave up on them 
because of not being able to solve fender issues. I live in Portland!!
Then I got the Continental Cyclecross speed tire- it has a file tread in the 
middle and knobbies on the sides. ( Riv sells them sometimes) They were great 
for mixed terrain - I was able to keep up with several riders on full-on Mtn 
bikes on a ride with mostly dirt trails.
I only swapped them out to try the Compass Barlow Pass tires which are now my 
most favorite ( I know I am fickle).

[RBW] How long does the rivbike.com $75+ free shipping via USPS take?

[Jim Bronson]

Just curious, wondering if I should get worried or not.  Got the email
that the items had shipped on 12/29 but haven't seen them yet.
Granted there was a holiday thrown in there so maybe I should expect
longer.  Just trying to set my expectations, I guess.

That's the way of it here.  Had the snow been deeper, you'd find 
conditions would continue to worsen over the next few days, as you get 
sections cleared by sunshine, others in the shade or on overpasses 
(notably the bridges at National Airport and under the bridges to DC) 
that will remain icy for a week or two, and large permanent icy ruts 
develop.  After a typical "good sized" snow fall the MT V trail will be 
impassible for 1 - 2 weeks.

Re: [RBW] Knobbies for 26" Atlantis

[cyclotourist]

My $.02:

Thunder Burts are really fast on road, and have a good edge profile for
dirt. They wear quickly though.

They have a flat profile, so dig in really well in the dirt, but feel a bit
sketchy at high speed road cornering. LIke 'em a lot and very happy with
them in 650B size!

I've never used the Sams, but it looks like they may have slightly more
pronounced center knobs, so would therefore be a bit slower on road, with a
bit more grab on dirt.

Re: [RBW] Re: Adding braze-ons and painting my "new" Rambouillet

[Tim Gavin]

I also use both types of Tubus clamps, and I really like them.  One
distinguishing feature:  each type can be left on the bike if the rack is
taken off.  They use separate bolts for the clamping and the rack mount, so
it's easy to remove and replace the rack.

I've used the mid-fork clamps on my Riv Road, but currently use both to
attach a Nitto Campee Classic (the one with detachable lowriders) to my
girlfriend's San Marcos.  She vastly prefers how the low panniers ride,
compared to a basket on a rack above the front wheel.

The Tubus mid-fork clamps are big and square (even more eccch than a
p-clamp).  But they definitely look more professional.  As with all clamps
on the frame, I protect with tape and innertube.

[RBW] WTT: Nitto M-18 for a Mark's Rack M1

[DS]

I bought an M-18 about a month ago for a front rack but have instead 
decided to mount it on the rear as a saddlebag support. 

Looking for an M1 Mark's Rack to work with all the rack mounts on the rear 
of my quickbeam. 

Bay Area local trade preferred but can ship. 

Let me know if you have a spare Mark's Rack and interested in swapping for 
my M-18. If you don't need the extra stays and don't need the tab for a 
light mount the M-18 is a nice, clean alternative to the M1

[RBW] FS: Albastache bars, Grand Bois Hetre tires (pair), Pletscher rack

[DS]

A few items for sale, pickup local in Bay Area:

Albastache Bars - $65, bought new a few weeks ago for a quickbeam build but 
decided to go w/ Jitensha bars instead. Paid $88 new (They're ~$80 with the 
new Nitto discount for January on the newsletter), installed them, wrapped 
them, rode them around the neighborhood a few times, unwrapped them, and 
took them off. A little tap residue, but otherwise brand new.

Grand Bois Hetre Tires - $80 (priced per pair, black w/ tan sidewalls, 650b 
x 42) - used for less than 100 miles, a little dirty but otherwise pretty 
new. $120 new. 

Pletscher Rack w/ tail light - $60, installed as rear rack but never 
actually used except to mount a rear dynamo light, not worth keeping a 
whole rack for a light mount so selling this and getting a seat post dynamo 
light. $78 new (with tail light adapter).

If interested for shipping let me know and I'll calculate prices for 
shipment, need to get some boxes for the bars and racks. Willl split the 
cost of actual shipping.
