How short do you want to go? I have a gorgeous 160mm Suntour Sprint crank 
that I don't think I'm ever going to use. 130 BCD double, and I probably 
can find rings for it, too. Gimme a holler if you think you can use it, the 
price will be reasonable.

[RBW] Re: Local Rivendell Dealer suggestions for DELMARVA area?

[Elisabeth Sherwood]

Really -- a flashmob isn't necessary! BIcycleSpace folks are more than 
familiar with Rivendells (and all things BoBish).  Ed mentioning the topic 
to Erik will be enough to put the possibility on his radar.

(Feel free to join the shop on any of their weekend group rides on your 
Riv, if you're so inclined.)

Congratulations, Keith, on the upcoming new addition! (And, looking forward 
to seeing what the Hunq looks like in person sometime in the future.) Will 
be interesting to see how Riv responds to your query.

Cheers,

[RBW] Re: Bike Crank Question

[Michael Hechmer]

Here's a set for $45.  I have no idea what the quality is and it doesn't 
say if it's a double or a triple:

https://www.benscycle.com/p-893-origin-8-andel-110bcd-crankarms-165mm-silver.aspx?

If your current rings are in need of a good cleaning then it's not that 
much more work.  On the other hand, if your current set is in good 
condition, you could buy new and resell the used for not too much out of 
pocket.

Good to hear from you,

Perhaps you should post a photo of it, and tell us a bit about the 
bike.  Actually, the evolution of your cycling preferences would make an 
interesting tale, especially for the RBW audience.

You might have read that some rims take lighter spoke tension than other

rims.

You do need lower gears, to be sure.  There's a reason a loaded touring 
bike like a Bruce Gordon Rock 'n Road Tour comes with a 22T granny ring 
and a 32 or 34T large rear sprocket.

Michael,
   Those cranks can be set up as doubles. I've done it. Takes a 107mm BB. 
Cecily, years ago I switched all of my 175mm Sugino XD's to 170mm's due 
to knee pain. I was able to swap arms on this list for all three of my 
bikes. Give it a shot.

also check with outside outfitters to see if they have the crank arms you 
need - they repackage and ship, so the process can take a couple of weeks, 
but their prices can be the best on individual items.  On my most recent 
bike, I bought crank arms, cassette and custom cogs, and chain from them.

Drew: I use my super secret prototype anti-gravity unit I found in the

these mountains? Grin. I don't do stairs though. They monkey with my 
vertigo big time, so I'm not sure how an anti-grav unit would effect your

Lungimsam! Pedal, one foot after the other. My bike fully loaded with food 
and water and gear for a week of fun weighs 280 pounds including 200 pound 
engine. That's all pre-antigrav unit, of course. It weighs minus ten pounds 
when I get to hills (depending on speed and grade -- the biggest trick is 
matching momentum to grade to anti-pounds. After that the biggest trick is 
looking like I'm pedaling hard. Grin.

[RBW] Re: Local Rivendell Dealer suggestions for DELMARVA area?

[Alan Pickett]

Ok, first, Ed, I just watched the video of you and Mary 
(http://www.bicyclespacedc.com/our-blog/2014/11/15/ed-and-mary) and, OMG!! 
THAT IS THE CUTEST, MOST ADORABLE damn thing I have ever seen!!! And there 
you are, on a Rivendell! In a Bicycle Space video!!! That is super sweet on 
all counts.

When I read local blogs here and peek at local shops, and now see the 
responses to this post from people who are clearly plugged-in to the scene 
here, I see DC as an already enlightened cycling community. There is a very 
wide continuum of riders here, from super-athletes to Frankenbike welders, 
and I think there is a more than concentrated number of Riv-minded riders, 
people who may not or may only remotely know of Rivendell bikes, but have 
independently embraced many of the philosophical values shared by ROB 
members. It's parallel evolution. 

People like Ed and Mary (Ed please correct me if i mis-state) seem to 
actively promote a bike-positive lifestyle in the DC area that appeals to a 
lot of different kinds of riders, but ultimately, when I read Mary's blog, 
she is sharing STORIES about her love of cycling as a "vehicle" for 
personal discovery, the experience of beauty, and social pleasure and 
enrichment. That, in my opinion, is RIVISH TO THE CORE. 

Riv's "request" for help is so feeble and unenthusiastic sounding, that I 
wonder if they mean it, and if Grant is just burned out or demoralized at 
the thought of having to "whore himself out" to sell bikes, and I worry 
that he may be mistaken. Look at the video above, and just try and tell me 
that a "Just Ride" revolution has yet to come to DC. Riv did a pop-up 
before they opened the retail shop, right? Keith's Bicycle Pro shop is on M 
St. in Georgetown, Washington DC, and he's interested? That's the frigging 
5th Avenue of this town. Uppity people with serious bank promenade up and 
down that street all day and night. If you want to sell a few pretty 
looking bikes, I don't think you could ask for a better shot. Bicycle Space 
is a thriving business, opening up three shops in DC and using all of the 
groovy tools of modern technology to create a true community of local 
customers that feels a bit like a family, and they sell Grip Kings and 
bikes with Kickstands. No revolution needed, the eagle has already landed.

The more I think about it, I like the idea of Riv doing a 5 - city pop-up 
tour. They already did a cool one in walnut creek. Local supporters and 
lover's of Riv could help out on the ground (I would think that some would 
even let a couple of Riv staff members crash on a floor, or shine up our 
own bikes for display or test rides to lower costs of trucking a ton of 
equipment) and local bike shops sound like they would gladly involve 
themselves, because they already "get it". They don't need conversion or a 
sales pitch, and they already have developed their own successful ways of 
communicating with their customers in a meaningful way. Maybe the details 
of something resembling a dealership relationship are just not workable, 
(and hell, maybe that's actually ok - Riv's individual success is more akin 
to "slow food" than a KFC franchise...). I am convinced that a 2 week 
pop-up in Union Market, Bicycle Pro, or Bicycle Space, done in Rivish 
fashion as a social experience would be first and foremost FUN. It would 
only add to the already thriving community of like minded riders, and could 
result in furthering the "Just Ride" revolution that is already well in 
play here.

That's it. I think I'm done with this. If people like Keith and Ed are 
already  in our community and our friends, and Riv is serious about this 
idea, then I don't what more can be done. If anything begins to "Pop-up", I 
would commit to being part of the pop-up-planning process!

ps, Liz: I see you are right, I didn't know the Bicycle Space near 
Judiciary square was interim, and am also really glad to see them 
developing so wonderfully into the cycling community in dc. Ivy City? 
That's cool!

Alan

I was really worried about my mom when she went this way, because I wasn't

the rehab and ended up in follow up surgeries.  Two things my mom did that

insurance that covered it.  She is doing Great.

[RBW] Re: how do you carry your loaded bike?

[Leslie]

So, I used to head from the workshop/basement out through the garage w/o 
having to take the steps; and the others' bikes are hanging in the garage 
anyway, so when we're going out through the garage to get theirs, there 
aren't stairs involved.

But a lot of the time, I'm riding solo w/o the others, and I'd left the 
water-bottles in the kitchen, and my helmet in the hall, so... I end up 
taking the bike up the stairs and out the front door.  Or I arrive home, 
garage door is closed and I don't have an opener w/ me, so the bike comes 
in the front door and gets parked in the hall for a bit... at that point, 
I'm taking it down the stairs instead of out and around to the garage 
door so, yeah, I end up taking the bike up and down the stairs more 
often than I thought I ever would.  

But with the way the stairs are narrow (well, maybe not 'narrow', but, 
certainly not wide, and, they're not 'open', you have walls on both sides), 
and with the way the overhead ceiling is at the bottom landing, I really 
couldn't shoulder a bike or carry it.  SO, I simply stand near the back 
wheel (behind the cranks, so I don't catch a pedal w/ my shin), hands on 
the handlebar, and roll it up, or down, the stairs 

I like the idea of the grab-handle at the bottle cages, but, I don't have a 
handle there, and I manage it as-is, so   yeah, I just roll it

FWIW

Cecile, maybe your insurance would pay to have Patrick at the hospital with 
you. Surely the desire to escape his puns would shorten your stay, saving them 
money😂 Patrik, you know I'm kidding. You're an inspiration to many on this 
list. I've mentioned my double knee replacement in 2010. The rehab was not fun, 
that's for sure, but it was completely worth it. Any time you're feeling low, 
please reach out. You can get through it. I feel sooo good now. I r ide 
lots and lots and my knees feel great. Good luck, Cecily, and Godspeed!

[RBW] Re: how do you carry your loaded bike?

[Montclair BobbyB]

If the stairs ain't too steep... I give a tug on my chinstrap, sit way back 
behind the saddle on top of my Carradice, grab both brakes and gently thump 
down a stair at a time... :)

... but usually I do the seat tube grab method... to me that just feels 
like the most central place to grab and hoist.

Hi all,

Having a case of bag matching and looking for a grey medium Shopsack with the

"Need" as in, you are now at the point where there's nothing further 
that can be done to alleviate your pain?  Or "need" as in at some point 
in the future, when remedies such as Orthovisc injections, braces, etc., 
lose their effectiveness?And "putting off" -- does that mean you're 
waiting to get it done in December so rehab and off-the-bike downtime 
will happen in the off-season (that was my strategy and pretty much it 
was effective) or ... ?

Cecily,  I'm not sure if this is good or bad news.  As a registered 
card-carrying-coward I hate the idea of people making holes in my body and 
usually cross my legs whenever the topic comes up.  On the other hand being 
in a lot of pain sucks too and the hope for relief is a great motivator. 
 I'll keep you, your surgeon and your PT in my prayers.

You are a blessing,

So many great memories on my AllRounder but this tour across Nevada on
Highway 50 sticks out.  The photo of my speedometer at 50 mph is
semi-famous amongst friends (I actually hit 55 on that descent with a fully
loaded bike riding one handed to get the photo).  :)

http://reno-rambler.blogspot.com/2009/06/bike-tour-of-nevada-june-2009.html

In general the tours always seem to stick out.  This one from Portland to
almost Reno (the Cascades tour)

[RBW] Re: how do you carry your loaded bike?

[John]

I really like the look of those leather straps. Do they fit above the front 
derailleur?

I have narrow twisty halls in our apartment, and we're up two flights of 
stairs, so I can understand the why some people are drawn to single speeds 
& messenger bags / backpacks when it comes to navigating the city.

I found it easiest to roll my Hunqapillar along on its back wheel to 
navigate corners, so no fenders, and I use bags I can carry with shoulder 
straps, usually a re-purposed messenger bag as a front basket bag, plus a 
saddlebag. 

And I use a Lezyne Micro Floor drive that fits in my bag, so I can use the 
top tube for carrying my Hunq if need be.

And I usually say a prayer to Lord Ganesha to keep the elevator (and my 
knees) working.

John

[RBW] Re: Man those Barlow Pass are Smooooooth!

[Surlyprof]

Couldn't agree more.  Light, smooth and really fast.  I struggled with the 
Stampede Pass vs. Barlow Pass decision thinking thinner would be faster. 
 The group and Jan Heine's articles leaned me toward the Barlow Pass and I 
couldn't be more thankful for the advice.  I've been riding around some 
construction in LA the past few days where everyone appears to ride plastic 
(OK, carbon) bikes with skinny tires.  I've been breezing past as these 
people tenderfoot their way around the construction.  Even the BP 
extralight's cruise right through it all without a worry.  Amazing ride 
quality and good looking to boot!

[RBW] Re: how do you carry your loaded bike?

[Surlyprof]

I had no problem mounting the Walnut Studio's leather bike handle over the 
derailleur and below the bottle cage.  Perfect fit.  The only problem was 
that there wasn't enough space between bottle cages for a hand.  That's why 
one bottle would have to go to make it work.  Wasn't willing to give up a 
second bottle so the handle was returned.  If the Hillborne came with a 
third, lower cage, I probably would have shed the seat tube cage and kept 
the handle.  They are really nice and would have been handy getting in and 
out of SF BART stations.  I even considered the two-fish bottle cage just 
to keep the handle.  Started to feel a little Frankenstein to me so I 
didn't go there.

If I wasn't the lead bidder for the 64cm all rounder on eBay that ends tomorrow

And hadn't preordered a Clementine frame from Riv $700 I would have grabbed 
Misha's Betty already.
My better thirds (wife and/or daughter) can fight over the bike and stop me 
from having 2 builds this year.
This addiction is getting out of control considering my New Year's Resolution 
was n-2 for the year. 
Maybe I should grab the most gorgeous Betty, ever assembled in my opinion, and 
offer up some of my Jumbo

[RBW] Re: A Life Update

[Cecily Walker]

I'll eventually need to get the other done as well. I can't even imagine 
doing both at once, though. *shudder*

I hear that as long as I keep up with rehab and have patience, in about 6-8 
months I'll wonder why I hadn't done it sooner. If you can get it done 
before you lose independence (like I have), I'd say go ahead and get it 
done now. Canada's socialized health system pretty much dictated that I had 
to wait until I could barely walk/stand before I got the surgery. Hopefully 
you won't get to that place. 

If Orthovisc/Synvisc injections are helping, I'd say do those for as long 
as you can, if money permits. They helped me for a long time, until nothing 
else could be done.

Good luck, Clayton!

Oh, Michael, I am TERRIFIED. The dreams I've been having as I get closer

me what I'm going to do after the surgery, and to be honest, everything 
after July 7 is a total blank. I can't even think that far ahead. 

One day at a time, or so I've heard. :)

Hugh,
 I will check my surplus parts this weekend once school is done tomorrow.  I 
had a spare for a while but may have traded it for a shorter lugged stem.
Hope you, Curtis, Doug, and all the So Cal contingency are doing well.  If 
several of you ever get over here to Michigan for some riding, I will be happy 
to host you guys and possibly outfit you with Riv's to ride.

Re: [RBW] ISO NITTO lugged seatpost.

Don't overlook the VO long setback post. Not nearly as fancy as the Riv
lugg'd, but much cheaper. Aesthetically it's equal to the non-lugged nitto
offerings. At least to my eye. I have one on my Atlantis. Will be buying
one for my Sam H soon, too.

Mark, forgive me for being a dunderhead but how did you get the photos to 
post with text describing each?  I uploaded some pix, but all I could do 
was write something that came out above your post, with my photos below.  
Looked pretty lame so I deleted it.  I realize it's probably really simple 
but I sure couldn't figure it out.  Thanks for your help on this.

[RBW] AHH Brake Ideas

[Kelly]

Ok so I'm at a point that I don't want to go back to 700x33.3 32 etc but 
love my 700x37's and my favorite for now the Barrlow Pass 38's.However 
fender clearance is limited due to side pull brakes... currently running 
silvers.
If the brakes just had more center of tire clearance.  So been thinking 
center pulls.. maybe... or just adding adapting the bike to canti's and 
repainting. 

So my bertholds would work but bump it once and it rub and then they 
cracked so in a pinch I threw on some sks fenders I had in the garage.

Ideas?  Side pull brakes with a higher arch?   68 atlantis?  lolThe AHH 
is like my perfect bike.. and I'm nitpicking but seems there should be a 
solution:)  

thanks

Kelly

[RBW] AHH Brake Ideas

[Lungimsam]

This is one of the reasons why I hope to get cantis on my next bike.
No brakes in the way of fender or tire or rack strut clearance.

[RBW] Re: AHH Brake Ideas

[ted]

The right center pull should do it. My AHH is 650 instead of 700 but I ran 
SKS 45 longboards over Soma GR tires (~41mm). At first under Silver dual 
pivot brakes, and later with a Mafac Raid front brake. With the silvers the 
clearance for the front fender was less than I like. With the Raid (and 
some extending of the slot on the fender tang) its fine.
