[RBW] Alternative to Velo Orange Wheel Stabilizer

[Bob B]

Besides what the subject says...

I'm looking for a solution to wheel tippage while using a regular kickstand 
that:

   - Does *not* require you to do anything (e.g.: flick down a flickstand)
   - Isn't dangerous
   - Looks cleaner/simpler than the VO product.
   - Lasts a while so I can forget it's there
   - Can be a DIY solution

Include pics on your bike if you have a good setup!

Thanks,
Bob B.

Re: [RBW] Alternative to Velo Orange Wheel Stabilizer

[Patrick Moore]

+1. I use my bike/bikes for grocery shopping -- wheel them into the aisles
-- and few things in this world are more annoying than trying to strap your
pannier or saddlebag closed in a busy grocery store with the front wheel
flopping back and forth and the bike trying to slip and fall under your and
passers'-by feet. ("Passer-byes' feets? Passer's by's feet's? Passers' bys'
feets'? help!).

[RBW] Cycling in cold

[Patrick Moore]

About 25*F this morning when I left for church. I ride down to the upper
teens, if sun is bright enough and winds are light enough; this is,
generally, low humidity cold: 40*F in Atlanta is worse, worse worse than
25* in Albuquerque.

But this was one of those mornings when your oil turned to sludge
(slushbucket Sturmey Archer AM hub), your brake blocks rubbed, your Rene
Herse supple casings turned into thick-sidewalled studded knobbies, and
there was a headwind from every quarter. My quads burned at the slightest
rise.

So what. This is what. I'm curious about: (1) how cold do you ride?
Meaning, tell us the lowest temperature you will ride in. (2) Do you find
you need more energy to maintain warmer-weather benchmarms? (3) Tell us
about bike or style or clothing or other adaptations for cold (I know this
is open to interpretation, but let's define it as sub 32*F) weather?

One parting shot, an obersvation: The pit zips I had put into a cycling
shell are one of the best investments I've made for cold weather cycling.
This morning, I rode outbound in merino crewneck (dressy weight), Ibex wool
vest, and Leatt shell with pit zips closed and placket zipped to chin Came
home at 38*F with ditto, but placket open a bit and pit zips fully open;
big comfort.

Re: [RBW] Cycling in cold

[Bruce Baker]

I don't think it is necessarily the temp but the wind chill or heat index.
I'll ride down to a wind schill of 40 deg F and below a 100 deg F heat
index...
At the lower temps I usually layer at the higher temps no layering needed...

[RBW] Re: Cycling in cold

[Brady Smith]

I’ll do my 20 mike round trip commute down into single digits, provided ice 
isn’t an issue. In that weather, I’m wearing my winter bibs, wool socks, 
overshoes, a thermal baselayer, a wool jersey, an outer layer (usually my 
Rapha insulated brevet jacket), a hat and mittens. I have a pretty heavy 
beard which is usually enough for face protection. I always carry chemical 
hand warmers in case I have to stop, but in that weather I’m on the bike 
with Jack Brown Blues, which have only suffered one puncture in about 3000 
miles, and that with a child on the back of the bike. I find I’m cold for 
the first mile or so but pretty comfortable thereafter.

[RBW] Pandemic cycling in Manila

[Patrick Moore]

Of particular interest to me because my mother was from the Philippines,
and because during my family's single visit to Manila and to my mother's
family's home turf, Sorsogon, in 1976, there were very few if any cyclists,
odd for a "poor" country.* Also because I am half Filipino and love bikes.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/13/world/asia/philippines-manila-bicycles-coronavirus.html

Notable is the proximity of the buses to riders' left elbows in one of the
photos, and the reported half-month's wages required for the interviewee to
purchase a bike. Also notable is the need for a bulk shipment of something
like North Road bars.

* For all of that, Filipinos seemed to have long resisted the false axiom
that a car is necessary for personal freedom. My maternal grandfather was
important enough (he was certainly rich enough) to have been sought out by
the Japanese invaders to head a Vichy/Quisling government in the family's
home province of Sorsogon -- family hid in the jungle for 3 years to avoid
this. He was indeed made provincial governor under the American occupiers
after the war. Still, the family never owned a car until the US occupiers
gave him a military surplus jeep when he was governor. Even when we visited
Sorsogon in 1976, I recall only 1 rather small and old car owned by the
extended family. sent to pick us up at the regional airpot; and these were
lawyers and judges, one who turned down the position of national Chief
Justice under Marcos.

Hey, the US white man occupied the Philippines for 50 years after taking it
away from the Spanish ("400 years in a convent, 50 years in a brothel") and
brutally repressed independence uprisings. Do we get reimbursement?

Re: [RBW] Bombadil on its Archetypal Route (loads of photos)

[Robert Hakim]

Wow, really looks like studded tires would have been a good choice! Good 
for you for (presumably) staying upright. 
I separated a shoulder and partially tore a rotator cuff in similar 
conditions. That was on a fat bike with knobbies larger than those on your 
Bombadil, mind you! Studs are now my friend when it gets icy.

[RBW] Re: Cycling in cold

[Tom Palmer]

Hi Patrick,
Here in west Michigan I will ride into the teens on the road and lower on 
the fat bike. The wind is the key. Calm and 10 degrees is no problem- 3 
layers of wool, wind breaking jacket with ventilated back and pit zips, 2 
pairs wind stopper tights, baclava or hat, neck gaiter and face covering, 
and warm shoes/boots and good to go. Keep the stops short and ride on. 30 
degrees and 10-15 mph wind and it can be brutal. Even 40-45 and wind can be 
cold. I rode at least 3 times a week all last winter- it was a fairly mild 
one here until mid January.

[RBW] Re: Cycling in cold

[Jason Fuller]

Yesterday's ride was colder than I expected, as 5C (err, 40F) around my 
place, which is only a few km's from the foot of the valley I was riding 
into, turned into below freezing as soon as I got into the valley. I don't 
mind riding at these temps but it turned out that my glove situation wasn't 
quite up to par. Blundstones with regular cotton socks did remarkably well, 
though my feet got cold at a couple points.  Our temperatures are mild 
here, but it's always a very wet cold.  So I never have to ride in anything 
colder than about 25F and therefore there is no 'off season' for me.  I 
think that would be true if I lived somewhere colder too, but I would end 
up kitting myself out with the gear and bike required to make it fun (ie, 
fat bike and those goofy looking oven-mitt style handlebar attachments)

Re: [RBW] Re: ROADUNO - a new singlespeed!

[Jason Fuller]

To Patrick's point on tubing, I get the sense that today's Rivendell "road" 
tubing is practically yesterday's "mountain bike" tubing.  Looking at the 
CHG's engineering print, for instance, it's a 1.1-0.8-1.1 31.8 downtube and 
0.9 25.4 top tube (ovalized). Not sure on the rear end. But you could build 
a touring bike with that tubing by older standards.  If I were placing a 
bet, it would be that this bike will use the aforementioned tubing that the 
CHG is.   

I love the simplicity of a singlespeed, and how you quickly adapt to just 
pedaling and not thinking about gear changes... but I can't justify one in 
our mountainous region.

[RBW] Re: FS- Sackville Medium SaddleSack, Nitto R10, Pec Dec Support

SaddleSack and Pec Dec sold. 

Nitto R10 is still available and a super awesome saddle bag support. Hopefully 
it’ll find a good hone. Make me an offer!

Re: [RBW] Bombadil on its Archetypal Route (loads of photos)

[Jason Fuller]

Andy:  ha, I appreciate the compliment, but the environment gets all the 
credit for the beauty of the photos; I just haphazardly waved my cell phone 
around and pushed the button. 

Robert:  I did!  Although I was riding with one other person who fell once 
(was OK), and my Instagram story of the ice resulted in a half-dozen 
replies from locals who had fallen on the ice that day!  Studded tires are 
something I plan to get for my commuter next winter, when I'm back to 
actually commuting. We have a mild winter here but there's certainly a 
bunch of frosty mornings over winter that make cycling quite dangerous 
without studs.

[RBW] WTB: Green anodized paul brakes

[Michael Morrissey]

I am a simple man with simple needs, and I would love to have green 
anodized Paul brakes on my Rivendell.

I'd like Neo-Retros, but would consider touring cantis, minimotos, or other 
V-brake or Canti styles. I'd also consider other green anodized items, if 
anyone is holding. 

Thank you!

[RBW] Re: Cycling in cold

[Michael Morrissey]

I like wearing a Giro ski helmet when I bike in winter. The newer ski 
helmets all have ventilation that can open and close - same idea as pit 
zips - and they're very comfy. I'm skeptical of any cycling-specific winter 
gear. I like just buying ski gear instead.

[RBW] Re: Cycling in cold

[Ben Mihovk]

My commute is fifteen minutes if I hit every green light, but normally more 
like 18. Getting cold isn’t really an issue with that short of a ride...I 
start feeling a little cold, but half a mile in I’m comfortable. I’ve done 
it in the high teens without wind, and I think I could probably go mid 
teens with no wind, but that’s probably where the line will be drawn. I 
could wear just about anything sensible and be fine with that short of a 
ride, but I do employ lots of wool close to the skin and my favorite 
Winnipeg-made Raber Garbage Mitts.

It’s the snow and ice that are keeping me off my bike for my commute. We 
woke up to 4 inches on Saturday morning and I am terrified to ride tomorrow 
with melting and refreeze in the streets. I know my tires (42mm Shikoros) 
are not ideal for winter riding, but I don’t know that any tires will help 
me stay upright on a patch of black ice. 

Ben, who will be a reluctant motorist for the next few days

Re: [RBW] Re: ROADUNO - a new singlespeed!

[Berkeleyan]

Okay, after reading the obscure details on the R1, I stand corrected. 
Despite the shocking shortcoming of its very limited PBH range, it has one 
great advantage over the QB of yore, and THAT is support for wider tires. I 
tried running Bruce Gordon Rock 'n Roads (38mm) on my Orange QB, and they 
just only barely fit. Currently I roll on 38mm Ocean Air Soma C-Lines, 
which fit just fine without fenders. But if the R1 will go well into the 
mid-40's, yes, that is an improvement.

- Andrew, Berkeley

[RBW] Re: 7 Speed to 9 Speed Conversion Question

[Mark Roland]

Brian--a 10-speed cassette with one cog removed will turn your 7sp into an 
indexing 9sp.

Re: [RBW] Re: daily post ur riv

[scott minor]

Thanks Patrick, 

Tires are RH hurricane ridge endurance compound.  Great tires, if a little 
heavy compared to the Barlow pass I usually run on this bike.  Crankset is 
VO.  I was reluctant to buy it but very glad I did.  It has exceeded my 
expectations.  

To answer your more personal questions, I am a working expat from the US. 
 My wife is English/Greek and we enjoy our life in Greece.  We are both 
music producers / composers and work for ourselves.  

cheers, -s
