Re: [RBW] Talk to me about bottom brackets

[Garth]

Rene,  the answer if literally, it can  vary  , sometimes alot !  Even with 
mfr. "recommendations".  For example the Sugino XD I run a Tange 107mm bb on 
one bike and on another I have a 110mm but could also use the 113mm.  When I 
bought a TA Carmina triple once I askeď Bilenky even before I bought it what 
size I may need for a bowed stay Rivendell frame.  The 116mm was spot on, even 
though I had read others saying I'd need it longer.  It could help to have some 
different sized cartiridges on hand , either new or old worn out ones if you 
are really unsure and want to know for sure. Ring size also can play a large 
part along with the shape of the stays in the best bb length for a particular 
frame. Always ask the retailer if applicable and do search the internet as 
someone has likely asked he same question.

I've got a pair of Shimano downtime cable bosses from when I used to run 
bar-end shifters on my Ram.  They're in great shape, gray plastic barrel 
adjusters and silver metal.  If anybody needs these, send me an email 
off-group or a private message with a fair offer and I'll get them in the

Re: [RBW] Re: Sin urrr gi Rims

[Lungimsam]

BQ says that lots of rim wells are too deep, resulting in the tire bead not 
being able to ride up the sidewall of the rim and sit in place at the clincher 
part.

It is reported that a slipperier rim tape like stans helps, too, so the bead 
doesnt get hung up in son a grippier more frictiony tape like velox.

[RBW] Re: EM BEE THREE/MB-3 for Catie, not CB-3!

[Dave Johnston]

Technically that size MB was for a 5'10 - 6' man, but I bet you can make it 
work with the right stem and bar combo. I cityfied my old MB3 for my 
girlfriend, with albatross bars, and I had to go with an even shorter and 
higher stem than the one pictured below. 

The front end geo of the MB-3 is pretty squirreley compared to say an 
Atlantis or other riv bikes, but one can get used to anything if you ride 
enough and don't ride anything else. I personally used this bike for all 
kinds of mountain biking back in the 90s and some fully loaded touring.

[RBW] Re: [BOB] Re: EM BEE THREE/MB-3 for Catie, not CB-3!

[Patrick Moore]

Catie has long legs, and I think an Albatross with an upjutter stem will
make it work well. She test rode it yesterday, and felt and looked
comfortable except for the very long and low Ritchey stem, and I was very
surprised when I measured it -- we'll see. It's nice enough that I'm almost
tempted to keep it for myself, but I'm sure I will have no trouble selling
it if it should come to that.

Note that the rear wheel spacing is 130mm by default and the stays are 
stiff enough that's its a real pain to put a 135mm in there, although I did 
it for years.

I got the Race Lite wheelset in quite easily, so either it is slightly

H ... We'll see; I need to get Catie free for a half hour to test it
again.

In Other News: Chauncey M sent me a photo of the new roadbikefordirt in its

headbadge and decals, and he will bring it by Tuesday, God willing. We'll

[RBW] Re: FS: Pair Schwalbe Big Bens 26x2.15 in BROWN

[Shawn Granton]

Big Bens are GREAT, and I'd probably buy these if I wasn't already well 
(over) stocked in them.

But to slightly hijack this thread (sorry), Rob, I hear you about the tight 
clearances with these tires older mountain bikes. I tried to install Big 
Bens on my 84 Raleigh Crested Butte, and ran into similar clearance issues. 
They just weren't thinking about tires this fat back then!

For a tire similar to the Big Bens, I found that both the Rubena 
Cityhoppers and Continental Retro Ride tires fit older MTB frames 50-52 mm 
width vs the Big Ben's 55), and also come in brown (and cream.) I have the 
Cityhoppers in cream on my Crested Butte and they work fine and look good. 
I'll note that the brown for either tire aren't as nice as that Schwalbe 
terra cotta.

yours,
Sahwn

IIRC Grant was spec-ing inbetweener dropout spacing by that point on the Bstone 
timeline, so you could probably fit 130s or 135s in there without much trouble. 
Boy, that sure is a nice bike..I love those early '90s MBs.

Re: [RBW] Re: May Day Grocery Run

[Deacon Patrick]

Winds a light 20mph.

A. The foot challenge. Sigh. Yes,  my feet are fairly fuzzy, but not 
Bilbo fuzzy, and not below fifty/wet/windy fuzzy. However, at a balmy 25˚F 
I really didn't want to wear my concrete-block-like rubber-bottomed Sorels 
that add a few pounds to every pedal stroke. So, I've been testing out a 
boiled wool and sandal system. It works great until the slush mud 
splash/spray you can see frozen to my frame and drivetrain in one of the 
photos soaked through. Numb toes. Not to worry, though! The toes warmed 
right back up as soon as the spray froze on the outside of the sock 
creating a wonderful ice-encrusted wetsuit effect. Rather amusing. Get wet 
to freeze and get warm. Any road, the plan is to make an outer canvas 
moccasin as a wind and highly breathable moisture barrier to wear over the 
boiled wool sock and then see how low that system goes. Grin.

Thought I've trimmed the beard way back because it's Spring (sardonic 
grin), I did have a thought for you poor smooth-faced folk riding in any 
form of sleet, snell, corn-snow, mini-hail (I got them all on this wee 
ride!). The beard removes the sting everywhere but around the eyes. Handy 
dandy! Grin.

Patrick

[RBW] Re: FS: Pair Schwalbe Big Bens 26x2.15 in BROWN

[Bob B]

Yeah, it was disappointing. Fork and seat stays had plenty of clearance, it 
was just the chain stays. But thanks for those tire suggestions, Sean. 

Got impatient and just picked up some black 1.75 Conti TourRIDEs from a 
local bike shop today. These are perfect for this CB-Zip in terms of 
clearance. With this particular frame, I don't think I'd go any bigger.

[RBW] Re: Talk to me about bottom brackets

[Grant @ Rivendell]

BB spindle length:

It's always safe and usually best to use the bb the crank maker recommends, 
or (more to the point) a dimensional equivalent. I'm not going to address 
taper here, just quick notes about length. It comes down to chainline, 
which has nothing to do with the chain. Almost everything anybody could 
possibly say about CL has already been said by Sheldon on his site, but I 
don't remember whether he addressed derailers there, so I will fast here. 
Chainline is how far out from the center of the seat tube the middle ring 
on a triple sits, or the midpoint between two rings on a double sits. 

There are two common chainlines, I mean three: 

43 or 43.5mm (I forget)--for road doubles
47.5mm -- for road triples and hybrid-like bikes. 
50.5 or 51(I forget) -- for mtn bikes

"For" means "typical," not "the only way." 
But what it means is that mtn bike front derailers can reach farther out 
and can't drag in as close as road front derailers. 

Example: If you put a Sugino or Silver crank on a 110mm bb spindle, the 
chainline will be 47.5, and an XT or any other mtn front derailer will be 
able to shift to the big ring, but not to the small one. To fix that, you 
put a 113mm bb spindle, which changes the CL from 47.5 to 50.5, and it all 
works.

There is no perfect correlation bwt Q-Factor and CL. In general, mtn cranks 
are for bow-legged cowboys and they have high Q's, but it's easy to design 
and make great mtn cranks with mtn bike CLs and low-Q's (under 163?). The 
mtn crank makers don't generally do that, though, because then their cranks 
won't fit onto lots of expensive and prestigious bikes that have chainstays 
that stick out too far in the wrong spots and so require higher Q-Factors.

This doesn't address durability, but it's rare to hear of $40 bb's crapping 
out. Not unheard of, but it's not unheard of at any price, either. We are 
going to stock an ol' cup-and-cone style BB in ass't lengths sometime this 
year. It will cost more and we'll refuse to sell it to -- how do I best say 
this? -- a "newbie with romantic/retro sensibilities but no experience with 
this kind of BB." We certainly won't quit selling the $40 Shimano bbs, 
which are so good. What we will do, when it all happens, is extol the 
theoretical virtues of the old kind...which, given the reliabiliy of the 
new kind, are undeniable, but may not matter.

[RBW] WTT: Brooks swift for B17 or Flyer

[drew]

i have a brooks swift that i think was natural, but it now honey colored 
with chrome rails. it has a few scuffs on the nose and some marks, but has 
barely been used and is unbroken in. it's mostly sat on a shelf since 2007. 
treated with proofide every now and again.  Looking to trade for a b17 or 
flyer in a honey or natural color.

[RBW] My 1x8 Clem

[Bob Ehrenbeck]

I know the Joe Appaloosas seem to be all the rage right now — not to 
mention all the hubbub with the Hubbuhubbuh and the Rosco Bubbe — but I 
thought I’d share details and impressions of my recent Clem build.



This bike will be used mainly for local transportation, running errands, 
and various on- and off-road exploration — in other words, your basic 
utility bike. While I’ve purchased quite a few parts, accessories, and 
miscellaneous non-bike stuff from Rivendell over the past few years — plus, 
I eat bacon/don’t jog and just ride :) — this is my first experience with 
an actual Rivendell frame.

I went for a minimalistic and utilitarian drivetrain with this one: a 
single narrow-wide chainring up front and an 8-speed cassette in the rear, 
friction shifted via a handlebar-mounted thumbie. Here are the build specs:

   - Frameset: Clem Smith Jr., 52-cm
   - Headset, BB, and seatpost: Included with frame
   - Crankset: Sugino XD2
   - Chainring: Wolf Tooth Drop-Stop, 110 BCD, 34T
   - Cassette: Shimano, 8-speed, 11-34T
   - Rear derailleur: Shimano XT 780
   - Shifter: Sunrace One-At-a-Time thumbie
   - Chain: SRAM PG870 8-speed
   - Pedals: VP VP-001 Thin Gripsters
   - Front hub: Shutter Precision SV-8 dynamo
   - Rear hub: Shimano XT T780
   - Rims: Grand Bois, 32h
   - Spokes/nipples: Wheelsmith DB14
   - Tires: Schwalbe Big Ben Race Guard, 650B x 48
   - Handlebar: Nitto Bullmoose Bosco, Cromo Dullbrite 54cm
   - Brake levers: Shimano T610
   - Brakes: Avid Single Digit 7 V-brakes
   - Saddle: Brooks B-17
   - Headlight: Busch and Muller Lumotec IQ Premium Cyo
   - Taillight: Busch and Muller Toplight dyno
   - Rack: Pletscher Clem, with pannier rails and pump
   

Some initial thoughts:

   - 
   
   Despite this being Rivendell’s “budget” bike, I’m really impressed with 
   the build quality of the frame. The lugwork at the seat cluster and fork 
   crown is beautiful, and the fork itself has an elegant little bend to it. 
   The paint job is just gorgeous, and the cream-painted lug windows and 
   fork-crown top are a nice touch. I also appreciate that the frame has 
   plenty of clearance to run wide tires, and it’s got lots of mounting points 
   for fenders, racks, lights, etc.
   - 
   
   It’s a big bike. Of course it’s the long top tube and chainstays, and 
   the wingspan and rise of the Bullmoose Bosco handlebar add to the effect 
   (not to mention the chain needing a few more links over what’s in a 
   standard package). But it’s that long wheelbase — along with 48-mm (actual 
   width is 45 mm) tires — that makes for a plush and comfortable ride. It 
   also has a nice, stable feeling to it — it just goes where I want it to go 
   in a well-balanced manner. And that long wheelbase also keeps my heels away 
   from rear panniers.
   

   - 
   
   I’m not entirely sold on the Bullmoose Bosco handlebar. I love the 
   looks, and it provides for a nice upright position and great visibility for 
   the dense and trafficky area I usually ride in, but I find that my wrists 
   are not in an ideal position. It’s not a deal-breaker, but I wish I could 
   rotate the bar downward just a tad.
   - 
   
   I really like the Sunrace shifters. I’ve read that some haven’t been too 
   happy with them, but mine work flawlessly; I haven’t had any ghost shifting 
   or any other problems. Because of interference with the brake lever 
   clamping bolt, I had to rotate the shifter to the top of the bar (and away 
   from Rivendell’s usual method of mounting them), but it’s still easily 
   accessible with my thumb.
   - 
   
   The 1x8 drivetrain works really well, and I love the simplicity of the 
   set-up. The 34-tooth chainring with the 11-34t cassette gives me a range of 
   26-81 gear inches, which is just right for the terrain I deal with and what 
   I use the bike for, and the narrow-wide chainring does what it’s supposed 
   to do — while I haven’t gone over really rough terrain yet, and I’m running 
   only an 8-speed cassette, I have yet to drop a chain.
   
All in all, I’m very happy with this bike, and I’m glad I took the leap of 
faith last year to jump on the pre-order special on the frame. The Clem is 
a great introduction to Rivendell bikes, and I’m now wondering if this 
might be the gateway drug to picking up more!

More photos of the build can be seen here:

[RBW] Re: My 1x8 Clem

[Matt P.]

What a beautiful bike!  I also run a 1x8, so I appreciate what you have 
done there.  I am also using the Sunrace thumb shifter, but mine is the 
indexed 8-speed version.  Like you, I have found that they work great.

It appears to be a very lng bike.  After years of riding racing bikes, 
it blows me away to see such a huge amount of clearance between the 
seat-tube and the rear wheel.

I was interested to see that Wolf Tooth chainring, I hadn't heard of them 
before, but longer teeth seems to be the answer for keeping the chain on in 
a 1x set-up.  Even the new Shimano and Sram 1x chainrings have that too. 
 But $75.boy that's a lot to spend on a chainring.  I'm glad they don't 
make that in stainless steel, otherwise I'd have to get one of those...

[RBW] My 1x8 Clem

[Joe Bernard]

That's a really nice build, and there's still plenty of hubbub to go around for 
Clem. I love mine, and there should be more hubbub when I'm done with its 
latest iteration..electric! Has anyone ever added assist to a Riv before? I'm 
guessing no one dared, but I'm going for it. Clem is a great-handling frame, 
and I think will be a good candidate for my outrageous little project. Yours 
will continue to be simpler and lighter ;)

Re: [RBW] Re: May Day Grocery Run

[Philip Williamson]

Oh, that's cool. Cold. May Day weekend here in CA was summery, and loaded 
with planting roses, pruning trees, murdering bamboo, and bottling cider.

 Thought I've trimmed the beard way back because it's Spring (sardonic 
 grin), I did have a thought for you poor smooth-faced folk riding in any 
 form of sleet, snell, corn-snow, mini-hail (I got them all on this wee

[RBW] Re: FS: 60 cm Quickbeam ffhsbb $740

[Philip Williamson]

Do you have any pictures? I'm not going to buy it (even though I want its), 
but I always like to see pictures of Quickbeams, and I'd like to see how an 
orange one looks without the downtube stickers.
