[RBW] Re: Drop Bar Dirt Hillborne

There's something about a drop bar bike with fat knobbies that really gets 
me going... I think I need to get a pair of Smart Sams for the Atlantis.

Re: [RBW] Re: Would you take the lane?

[Tom Harrop]

I live in the South of France where the streets are narrow, drivers are crazy 
and there are no cyclists or bike facilities. My daily commute takes me past a 
university complete with kids opening their doors, "parking" whilst talking on 
the phone (people really do touch park here, and if they don't want to wait 
they don't mind ramming other drivers out of their way), two lanes of traffic 
going 80 in a 40 zone, buses trying to pass etc.

I try my best to not be in the way whilst simultaneously avoiding the door zone 
and usually keep to the smile and wave approach. A couple of times I've lost my 
cool when drivers have yelled at me... I wouldn't hurt a fly but on those 
occasions being 6'5" and beardy, and swearing in broad Australian has led to a 
rapid de-escalation!

Re: [RBW] Curious addition to the Atlantis page on rivbike.com (maybe only interesting to the kinda tall)

['Mark Etze' via RBW Owners Bunch]

That is odd, I was looking at the geometry charts on Sunday and it 
definitely was not there then. The double top tube is an interesting 
addition too. The 64cm would be getting closer to what I would be looking 
for, but I am waiting for the 66 or 68cm to come back.

Re: [RBW] Re: Drop Bar Dirt Hillborne

[Patrick Moore]

If I had all the money in the world, I'd get local builder Chauncey
Matthews to build me a road-gauge tubed frame with Ram geometry (as far as
possible) that could fit 70 mm Knards.

Another part timer at Stevie's in Corrales has a Matthews fatbike; 4"
tires. Wonderful frame.

Aside: thinking about the sluggish turn in of the Fargo: One element is
that this frame is much more stable at slow speeds; OTOH, turn-ins require
much more active or deliberate intervention; IOW, a different riding style,
for one who is used to the "telepathic" turn in of the Rivs at their best.

You could simply mount the Wald as it is manufactured. I had these on my

durable than this original Wald set-up. Wald is working-class cred.

[RBW] Re: Sugino Wide/Low Double Feedback -- Triple vs Double

I just returned home from riding down the California coast, Sugino triple 
up front and 12-36 in back. I rode the middle ring for most of the flats, 
rode the granny gear pretty hard around Big Sur, and was very thankful for 
the big ring on slight descents and the glorious 20 miles of hard tailwind 
I rode into San Louis Obispo county, it helped cover some extra miles after 
a day of slogging up hill after hill. V thankful I had all three rings up 
front.

[RBW] FS: 16" Terry Classic lugged steel bike (complete or frameset only)

[saintruggler]

For sale is my wife's Terry Classic. Designed specifically for a smaller 
(4'9"-5'3") lady, the frame and fork were made in Japan using the highest 
quality lugged steel. The bike was custom designed by Georgena Terry, with a 
smaller (24"/520) front wheel and standard (700c) rear wheel. Feel free to 
Google the old Terry bikes to read more about their quality and unique design. 
I believe this is the 16" model in light purple/magenta. Classy paint job!

I am selling the complete bike, with touring wheelset (Sun/XTR rear, 
Weinmann/Suzue front), Planet Bike fenders, rando drop bars with short-reach 
Tektro brake levers, Dura Ace brakes and Dura Ace bar-end shifters for $500 
plus actual shipping costs. The tires currently mounted are 1" Panaracer in 
front and 32mm Schwalbe Marathon in rear. The frame has braze-ons for front and 
rear racks. I will include matching Tubus Tara and Cargo racks for $75 more to 
whomever buys the bike, or $100 separately. Make an offer on the frameset + 
wheelset only.

I will make a deal for a local (PDX) cash buyer.

Email me off list at the_struggler AT hotmail DOT com. Photos upon request.

[Hobo]

Thanks for the kind words.

The tires barely fit in there. But wow are they a comfortable ride!

The TT is effectively a bit higher due the large sidewall of these tires.

Someone buy this guy! I can't ride 10 bikes!

[RBW] FS Sackville, Brand V, Patagonia, Soma, Chris King

[EGNolan]

On the sale block are the following:

Sackville Saddlesack Large: Good usable condition, but does show wear from 
riding on a rack for quite a while. All zippers, buttons & snaps work 
flawlessly. It's great for camping & grocery loads, but I don't use it 
enough to warrant keeping it around. I'm thinking $185 shipped.

Brand V Bar Bag: Good condition, has marks from rubbing against bars & 
cables. Zipper works great, I just don't use it enough. I'm thinking $50 
shipped.

Patagonia Organic Cotton LS Shirt in Men's M, though it fits bigger than 
MUSA branded M's. I've lost a bit of wait & this was always on the big 
side, so I'm selling. Let's say $30 shipped.

Pics can be found 
here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ericgnolan/sets/72157651737376525/

Offers will of course be entertained. 

I also have a 54 cm Soma Double Cross f/f/hs for sale, though it isn't torn 
down yet, shouldn't take long to get pics up. It's an 2011 model I believe, 
a small, small dent in the top tube & comes w/ a Chris King HS for $300 + 
actual shipping. Fork is matching Tange in the same ivory (nearly perfect 
match to longboards) finish. I also have cr720 brakes I can leave attached 
if needed.

Shipping will be handled as quickly as possible once payment is made. My 
paypal is under a different/business e-mail, so please message me if 
interested for payment info.

Best,
Eric N.

Re: [RBW] Re: Beausage Reminder

[cyclotourist]

Maybe that's a heavier built version then the smaller one. The rack
reinforcement and handlebar attachments look really solid, but the long
stays are the weak point. They have crumpled on me, folding into the spokes
when I overloaded a basket. Nitto 32F with a basket zipped onto it has
never done that.

Re: [RBW] Re: Quickbeam 58CM Green Machine Phil Wood Hubs Brooks Nitto

[cyclotourist]

I bet you could justify keeping it somehow!!!

Does that large of a tire with tight clearances limit the adjustability of
the drivetrain? I see you have it set up as a true SS without a double
chainring/DOS freewheel sort of arrangement.

[RBW] WTT: MUSA Knickers - My large for your medium

[cyclotourist]

I have some blue MUSA knicks, fairly well worn. Faded some, abrasion on one
knee, elastic band tied off kinda' strangely. So not new, but plenty solid.
No rips or problems like that. Would like to trade for medium, any color.

Loaded up with a couple grocery bags those Wald baskets will sway back and 
forth in front of you like a drunk tourist on a fishing boat. Ziptied to a 
solid and stable rack there is zero movement and handling feels good. 
That's my experience anyway

As far as I'm concerned, every bike is a single speed , ya' can only 
ride one gear at a time after all .   No one says ya' gotta shift if ya' 
got more , and no one says ya' don't :) 

More isn't any less complicated than less, and less is no more simple than 
more !  There's only the One .  Howz 'bout that , no mathmajician required 
, every gear is a great one !  

Ahahaahahahahaahaha !

Re: [RBW] Re: Drop Bar Dirt Hillborne

[Philip Williamson]

I really like having a road bike with 60mm slicks. Ideally, it would be a 
light-gauge steel non-disc road frame that fit tubeless Supermotos with 
room for fenders. Instead of an aluminum disc brake bike with a superlong 
seatpost.

[RBW] Re: Drop Bar Dirt Hillborne

[Mike Schiller]

I love drop bar bikes with knobbies... but someone needs to drop that stem 
back down a bunch. It's way too high for descending steep dirt.

The Sam's seem fairly low profile for a 45 mm tire.  They fit nicely in 
that Racer.   Think I'll try a set.

Re: [RBW] Re: Drop Bar Dirt Hillborne

[James Warren]

Regarding the bar height: when Mark builds the bike, he always cuts the brake 
cables so that the bar can be at its max height. Then the user or owner can 
always bring the bar lower. When freshly built Rivs are on display, they always 
have the bar all the way out to show its max range. It's informative but not 
prescriptive.

 Certainly, file a police report -- not only for your own benefit,
 but as a civic duty. Also -- I used to sell insurance -- inform your 
 own
 auto insurance company and agent. UIM should cover your losses if you 
 can't
 find the OP's insurance information.

[RBW] f/s 27-inch Pasela TG, new, never mounted

[Ron Mc]

I have a brand new pair of 27-inch tires, never mounted. Pasela Tourguard 
27 x 1-1/8". 
These are arguably the best and lightest-weight 27-inch tires made today. I 
also have one new, never mounted 27 x 1-1/4"
All are folding kevlar bead with a kevlar puncture-resistant belt. 
Right now, these are hard to find - none of the typical suppliers have them 
in stock. When available, normal price on the TG folding bead tires is 
$38/. 

I'll sell these individually, as a pair, or all 3. 
Would like to get $20/ each tire, $5 to ship one, $10 to ship 2 or all 3. 
So $30 for one, $50 for a pair, $70 for all 3, including Priority mail (to 
US)
Please reply offline.  
Thanks for looking !!!

Re: [RBW] The aftermath of my recent car vs. bike hit and run.

[James Warren]

David,
Don't rush it. Take it easy, and know that all of the easy-taking is exactly 
what should happen. Work can wait! (5 years ago I had a minor concussion and 
needed 3 weeks when I initially thought I only needed one or less.)

Rest well!

[RBW] Hypothetical 2nd Wheelset

[Justin August]

As always I am debating a 2nd wheelset as a way to avoid buying another 
bike. I'm curious as to whether I should go heavier duty or lighter duty.
The facts:
- Saluki
- Current is Shimano Dynohub/XT rear to Synergies (32/36)
- Currently splits commute duties with the SimpleOne

Wants:
- One wheelset for Hetres (maybe Babyshoe Pass in the future)
- One wheelset for Cazaderos

Should I go:
OPTION 1
- Synergies with Caz
- Lighter with Hetres

OR
OPTION 2
- Synergies with Hetres
- Heavier (Atlas/VO/etc) with Caz

OR...
OPTION 3
- Lighter with Babyshoe EL
- Synergies with Hetres
- Heavier (Atlas/VO/etc) with Caz

I'm getting married in November so I think option 3 is probably a no-go. 
Whatever I do now would be an intermediate step towards that. Thoughts?

[RBW] Re: Hypothetical 2nd Wheelset

[Deacon Patrick]

My eventual plan for the Hunqapillar is:

-- (Current): Atlas rims with Smart Sams for trail and rough road and 
bikepacking
-- Set of lightish weight Velocity rims with Compass Barlow Pass

This will likely require barrel adjustment, or I'll get the same width as 
the Atlas for the light rims. That to compliment my QB with Barlow Pass 
(eventually, Clement MSOs now). I suspect it will be a while to get there, 
with the short case of Clementine on the way, build kits for them etc. But 
that's the long range plan (unless a Hilsen comes my way -- that's the 
dream plan).

With abandon,
Patrick

Re: [RBW] Hypothetical 2nd Wheelset

[Patrick Moore]

Long ago I tried to do everything with a nice steel mountain bike with 3
wheelsets: gofast, 12-19 7 sp with 1" Turbos; commuting wheelset, 13-21 and
Fatboys; and off road: Farmer Johns and 14-32; all on Araya RM 17s.

It was better than just one wheelset, but not as nice as 2 or 3 different
bikes.

I'm hoping soon to get my new rear with the S3X, for multiple speeds on the
'03 errand bike; Stevie has been on vacation but rumor hath it that
tomorrow ...

Re: [RBW] Hypothetical 2nd Wheelset

[Patrick Moore]

Oh, and more recently I had 2 wheelsets for the Fargo: the off road one and
a Rhyno Lite one with Kojaks. The disk brakes made the swap relatively easy
(tho' it's hard to dial in different rotors for the same calipers).

Again, 2 bikes works better for me.

You might check out the PL23 or SL23 rims while they are on sale. Machined

David,

Help me to understand.  The rated capacity of a Nitto 32F front rack is 4.4 
lbs.  I have no idea what the weight capacity of a stock Wald basket is.  
Are you saying roughly 5 lbs will crumple the Wald basket stays?

[RBW] FS/FT swrve pants, musa pants, red wing chukkas, tektro cr720,

[drew beckmeyer]

looking to get rid of these items. 

-SWRVE midweight slim trousers- 34x32. charcoal ish color. worn once and 
were too large.  65$ shipped

http://swrve.myshopify.com/products/midweight-wwr-slim-trousers?variant=1068426297

 
-MUSA black pants- medium. also worn for about a minute and were too large 
(im not great about returns). 

i forget what these retailed for, and would ideally like to trade for a 
small pair, but lets say 85$ shipped.

 
-Red Wing Chukkas. vintage. good condition. light beausage-some light 
scuffs and sole wear. no structural damage. leather is in great condition. 

size 10. (fit closer to 10.5)  85$+shipping

 this style 
 http://thumbnail.image.rakuten.co.jp/@0_mall/greedkobe/cabinet/img56381217.jpg


-Tektro CR720 canti brake set. silver. mounted for about a week. 30$ 
shipped. 


also willing to trade for a small nitto front rack, nitto r-14 top rack, 
musa pants small, technomic stem with a long reach. obviously some of the 
items have a worth discrepancy, and we can discuss adding a little $$ to 
whatever transaction.

Re: [RBW] Re: Drop Bar Dirt Hillborne

[James Warren]

Explaining my previous post, seeing the Smart Sam Hillborne with drop bars at 
Riv made be want to copy it as soon as I could. I got the tires but not the 
handlebar, so in posting my own with the Albatross bars, I wanted to share the 
fact that the Smart SAMs just clear it with Silver brakes. It's a great setup,

Re: [RBW] Hypothetical 2nd Wheelset

[cyclotourist]

If you're not really carrying much, the Synergies are probably heavy enough
to go with the Caz. That said, how about a fourth option:
-Lighter with BBShoe for fast recreational rides
-Current Synergies/dynamo with Hetres for commuting/all-roundering
-A third inexpensive front wheel (Deore/Synergy?) with a Cazadero on it for
dirt.
Then swap out from Hetre to Cazadero on the existing rear wheel. Still a
bit of a hassle, but probably won't be doing it too often. And it saves the
dynamo hub from off-road abuse it probably doesn't need.

[RBW] Re: Hypothetical 2nd Wheelset

[Surlyprof]

As per my earlier posting, I now have a Hillborne with a set of 36h Mavic 
A719s with Phil hubs and Schwalbe Marathon Mondials for commuting and 
trails and a set of 32h Velocity Synergys with XT hubs and Compass Barlow 
Pass tires for road riding.  Feeling much closer to bike nirvana.  That is 
a 25.4mm rim and a 23mm rim.  I found very little barrel adjustment was 
required.  The performance difference between the two are HUGE.  As long as 
you have the clearance (I'm not sure what the clearance is on the Saluki), 
I would push the width as far as you can go on the beefier wheelset and 
lean toward a supple, 35 or 38 tire on 32h Synergies (I'm loving life on 
Barlow Pass).  I've also found the 32h Synergies to be plenty light and 
nimble.  I'd lean toward setting up your current wheelset as the light set 
and get a sturdier set for the touring and trails.  I believe the standard 
Riv sets are Velocity Atlas which are 25.4mm wide and seem plenty sturdy.  
I'd also probably consult Rich Lesnik to get his thoughts before pulling 
the trigger.  Being a standard set, you could probably get them faster, too.

With all these Smart Sam Sams being posted, I'm now dying to replace the 
Mondial 40s with some Smart Sam 45s.  So much for bike nirvana.  I think I 
could handle a little road buzz during the commute for a truer 
trail-riding Sam that looks that awesome!
