Re: [RBW] Bluelug Visit to Rivendell (Video)

[Johnny Alien]

I'm very confused by the Gallop now. They took what was a road frame on the 
lower price scale for RIvendell (the Roadini) and are going to replace it 
with a higher priced lugged road bike? Even though they already have the 
Homer that could fit that category well? It was originally designed to be a 
road bike for sweptback bars and v brakes (which is unique) and now it 
seems to be a drop/albastache bike that can be setup with sweptback bars if 
you like. There is just so much crossover with this frame now. Will even 
says "like a homer but with more standover space". But that was a Cheviot. 
I'm just a bit salty because the original dream of Clem priced, bars with 
sweep, and v brakes all on a road bike was something unique for them. But 
for me it doesn't matter because I have the proto-clem that checks all of 
those boxes.

Re: [RBW] Bluelug Visit to Rivendell (Video)

[Mike Godwin]

Pump peg for the Charlie HG should be in the front. That is the perfect 
place to gouge a hole in one's shoulder. But, I guess a pump would not 
wedge tight in the obtuse angle of the top tube/seat tube lug. Better to 
place it on the seat stay.

 The Charlie looks like such I nice frame, the new lugs are beautiful 
 and I think I can put up with the sidepulls. It will probably be my next

 The new Susie has it's swoop tube intersecting much higher on the seat 
 tube. This is good. Definitely the weak point of the frame design.
 I am glad that I have my OG Susie though. The light tubing makes it 
 such a great bike and I love the fillet brazing. Wouldn't change it for 
 the 
 world.

[RBW] Re: PSA: Rene Herse Front Cable Hanger is back in stock!

[lconley]

Thank you for this PSA. I was on the list, but I had changed my phone 
number and email address since, so I did not get the notice. I was able to 
purchase 2 of the flat style, which is what I wanted. The grooved style was 
already sold out. Now they are all sold out, probably should have bought 4 
of them.

[RBW] FS: Olive Sackville Medium Saddlesack & Space Age Technologies Booster Pack Messsenger Backpack

[Daniel Rooke]

Hello,

Two things for sale:

One olive color Medium Saddlesack - the old style without the dowel.  I 
bought this used off the list a couple years ago but only used it once 
myself.  Used a little previously - mostly the wear is to the leather pad 
on the bottom of the bag.  I’m just not really a saddlebag person so I’m 
going back to panniers.   A really nice bag in great shape though.  $190 
shipped.

This is Riv adjacent - I think they sell or sold a musette bag from them on 
the Riv website.  A green Space Age Technologies messenger backpack.  This 
is the booster pack model.  It’s a really nice bag I just bought it when I 
lived in a big city and couldn’t leave any bags attached to my bike.  Now I 
can use panniers thankfully.  This has seen limited use and is in excellent 
condition.  Bag info   
$180 shipped.

If anyone needs more info feel free to ask.  Paypal is best.  

Thanks

Re: [RBW] WTB: basket bag for wald 137

[George Cline]

The Wald bags aren't bad and relatively cheap at $41. I've had one for a 
couple of years now. It lives outdoors a lot and the color has faded but it 
seems to be holding up well. I'm not real hard on it.

Sorry, that link doesn't seem to work. Just search for Waldsports bags!

Re: [RBW] Craigslist, etc 2023

[Joe Bernard]

That poor Hunq looks like it got overclamped in a repair stand. Clamp the 
seatpost, people! 

The price is optimistic with the damage and visible rust but it probably 
rides fine. 

There's no 54cm Hunqapillar with 26-inch wheels, I'm not sure what size 
this frame is.

Re: [RBW] Rapid Rise Resurrection

[Ryan Ogilvie]

Happy to report that this guy works quite well on a 11spd. For the time
being,

I swapped out the jockey wheels from my 105 derailleur and on the stand it
works great. We'll see once I put wheels to dirt/pavement.

This guy (an RD-M951) came with one jockey wheel (the guide (top) wheel)
which was secured by a male hex m5 machine screw. The fasteners from my 105
were too short for that wheel, fine for the tension wheel (as was the
bottom tension wheel screw). Not sure what's going on--if guide wheel is
wider on this model--but currently working fine.

I have replacement jockey wheels on their way, but still curious if the
jockey wheel machine screw is different for the top (guide) wheel.

Cheers,
Ryan

[RBW] Re: Expert level bike commuting strategies?

[Michael McArthur]

Lots of good advice here. On the head space front, I have a couple positive 
thoughts that I keep bouncing around - cycle commutes are the only time I 
get paid to ride my bike. The $$ saved over other commuting modes means 
cycling isn't just an expensive hobby. I also consider the exercise of my 
9mi commute with 430' of climbing to be the easiest way to find time in my 
day to get the heart pumping. I mean, I'd have to spend time commuting 
anyways. 

I've landed on tubes instead of sealant for the lack of hassle of 
maintaining tire pressure and drying sealant. I pump up 1x per week to keep 
my 29/30 psi. On carrying stuff in, my strategy is to leave a pair of shoes 
& towel at the office to lighten the load. I have the equivalent of one 
pannier worth of stuff to bring, so use a porteur rack & bag to keep it all 
centred. Fenders and 650x48 slicks stay on year-round to manage lousy 
pavement while enjoying the ride. 

Lastly, commuting is great way to make sure you bike is ready for the 
longer weekend rides. You can fine-tune fit and ensure everything is 
working before you headed to the riverside camp spot. 

Hope this helps.
