Re: [RBW] Re: What size fenders on your Platy?

[Tom Wyland]

Roberta, no, but thanks for offering.  I have the same fenders.  There is
plenty of room for the fenders but the tires rub on the stay clips when the
fenders move side-to-side.  I'll keep an eye out for a wider fender or
maybe switch to the SKS 55s.

[RBW] Beige sks fenders

[Matt Beecher]

Does anybody know of a source to buy the beige SKS fenders?  I'm looking 
for a 700c set for a Waterford Atlantis.  The tires will likely be 38, so I 
assume that means I should use the P55.  I might consider the P45, if that 
is all that I can get my hands on.  

Best regards,
Matt in Oswego, IL

Does the SKS fenders deform slightly if the fender width is slightly 
greater than the distance between the stays?Plastic fenders can't be 
indented.

Re: [RBW] Re: What size fenders on your Platy?

John,
You don't dent the fenders, you just trim them with a knife or tin snips.  
My SKS P50 longboard are narrow at the stays from the factory, similar to 
the photo below.  It's not so great for keeping things clean in that area, 
but makes simplifies install.

Why rivendell doesn't break out the vernier calipers and tell us is beyond
me. But on dads it's 60mm at brake bridge, 59 at the seat stay. And 59 at
the chain stay.  Yes I'm still alive, yes if I owe you something I feel

[RBW] Roaduno 2022 concepts

[Bill Lindsay]

There was an Instagram post showing that Riv has prototype samples of all 
sizes of RoadUno, inviting us to come test ride them.  I just emailed Will 
to find out if they really have a 57 ready to test ride for me.  Has 
anybody ridden one at RBWHQ?

I haven't seen numbers yet, but since they say "designed for swept bars" 
I'm going to take them at their word that I won't be putting drops on a 
RoadUno.  I think my urbanscorcher version of a RoadUno might have Riv 
Bullmoose bars.  What would you run?

[Johnny Alien]

If I wanted a standard drop type of experience I would go with Albastache. 
If I wanted the full sweptback experience the Losco and Choco bars are my 
favorite road sweptback bar.

I could pull my Albastache cockpit off my RB1 beater.  That's an option.  I 
did like the ChocoMoose that came on my Appaloosa, but I needed to slam it 
to get it low enough.  I'll have to look at the numbers...

[RBW] Re: Roaduno 2022 concepts

[Coal Bee Rye Anne]

My Chocomoose is currently installed on a 68cm Schwinn Traveler built into 
a single speed and kind of serving as a placeholder for a build I 
eventually hope to move over to a RoadUno... atleast the bars/inverse 
levers, and saddle.
I have mine currently slammed, though it's been adjusted at times between 
slammed and an inch or two of exposed quill and re-slammed again recently 
while fitting a basket.  The frame has a 62.5cm top tube ctc with 73deg 
parallel angles and honestly not sure how this would correlate or compare 
to whatever the largest RoadUno geomety will be but I'd anticipate a 
similarly slammed Chocomoose on my own build with Riv's tall headtubes and 
some extra standover with slope.  

After trying a few different builds I'm really enjoying the uninterrupted 
grip using the inverse levers on the Chocomoose and definitely plan to try 
these first.

Best,

Dibs on the big one!!
If I manage to pick one up, I like the idea of the bullmoose. Currently

Would love love love love a chocomoose with a little less rise, or a

Re: [RBW] Roaduno 2022 concepts

[Eric Daume]

If the RoadUno is designed for swept back bars, the Albastache would have
too much reach for me. I find the ‘stache needs a bit shorter stem than
even a drop bar.

Re: [RBW] Roaduno 2022 concepts

Agreed. I am the same. I use a shorter stem for Albastache vs drops. So on 
a bike made for sweptbacks an Albastache would need a very short reach stem 
for me

Re: [RBW] Roaduno 2022 concepts

[Doug H.]

I have bullhorn bars on my Wabi Classic single speed but it is built for 
that or drops with a short top tube. I could see using the Tosco bars with 
a long stem or maybe Wavie bars.

I just watched this and came here to post it. Here's the link: 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_K2UFRs_qA

It's a great convo with Grant - a lot of stuff we've all heard before, but 
also some little tidbits and peeks that are worth the half hour. I really 
want a purple Charlie now, but I wish Grant was still talking about horses 
all the time.

Will responded to my email, explaining my mistake.  I saw instagram photos 
of prototypes.  I mistakenly thought that meant Riv has them.  The builder 
has them.  Then they will be painted.  Then they will be shipped.  Then 
they will be assembled.  Then somebody can ride them.

I enjoyed the interview very much. As a recent first-time Rivendell owner I 
am happy to hear Grant talking about bikes. Russ and Laura do a good job of 
emphasizing the non-competitive aspects of cycling, which is always 
appreciated.

[RBW] Tire choice, tubeless vs. tubes

[Richard Rose]

Greetings. I plan to install either Rene Herse Juniper Ridge (48mm) or 
Umtanum Ridge (55mm) tires on my new Clem Smith Jr. It currently has G1 all 
round tires in 2.25" width (57mm). Running tubes currently, considering 
tubeless. I actually quite like the G1 tires but they are heavy. I weigh 
170 lbs. and use the bike primarily for mixed surface rides, preferably 
smooth gravel / hardpack including light touring / bikepacking. I have the 
Fleecer Ridge (55mm) tires on a different bike and they are pretty great 
tubeless. I am leaning towards the Junipers to insure ample room for 
(future?) fenders but interested in others opinions, especially on a Clem. 
In any case I will likely use the standard casing and the rims are 
Cliffhangers. I have had favorable comments from a couple of Juniper users 
but have yet to talk to anyone using the larger tire.
Thanks!

[RBW] VO stem opinion

[deepak atreya]

I recently got a viscous bar for my Atlantis . The current 80 mm face platter 
stem I have seems little too short . Wanted to try 120 mm . I was thinking of 
threadless stem adaptor and getting threadless stem , so that I can swap out 
the stem for different length if that doesn’t work. Has anyone had experience 
with VO adapter and stem and how does it compare to nitto . Don’t want to 
invest /commit to nitto given how expensive they are compared to VO.

Cheers ,
Deepak

[RBW] Re: VO Stem opinion

[iamkeith]

No opinion on the VO adapter, but I'd venture a guess that a 120mm stem is 
still going to be too short.   Personal preference and fit will of course 
vary, but I had an alumunium non-bullmoose Bosco bar on my Clem, with a 
140mm quill stem, and it was just barely long enough.  The atlantis has a 
much shorter top tube.  (Depending on the vintage of yours, it might be 
MUCH shorter.)  1" quill stems in the 140 -150 mm range from the 80s are 
pretty plentiful and easy to find.  Ritchey made a good one.  Another tip 
is to get one with a wide clamp, to minimize the bar torsion that feels 
flexy.  I know people often cut the end off the bar to make it work when 
it's too close, but I would advise against that too - at least until you've 
had time to try it uncut.  The sloped and front horizontal parts are 
interesting as secondary grip positions, but mostly in concept only.  
What's really nice is having that long primary grip position to move around 
on.
