Well, we *did* make a video of Grant’s talk, and it was posted….somewhere. 

We had an ASL interpreter. The small shop was packed. 

Can’t find it this AM.

Yes, jamin! Thank you!  From about 5:00 to 7:00 of that vimeo video is what 
I was thinking about.  Much appreciated. 

And appreciate the other video links as well, nice to be reminded of some I 
had forgotten about, and even if they weren't the one I was searching for, 
it's nice to revisit them all the same.  

Cheers!

Re: [RBW] Re: Jack the Bike Rack

I meant to say 5 KG weight limit, not 2 KG. Also that's a VO Happy Stem 
with a 45 degree angle. Worked fine with the stock rack, but did have to 
connect an XS and medium loadstrap together for this stem.

 Tim,

 I feel compelled to reply since the jack the bike rack is one of my 
 favorite bike accessories that I've ever purchased, and its the only thing 
 that I have bought through crowdfunding.  I hate having racks permanently 
 attached to my bikes--I have wasted too much time installing them to 
 ultimately remove them then have them sit and then market, pack, and ship 
 them.  The jack the bike rack works exactly as advertised, and it is easy 
 on/easy off.  It literally takes moments, and has absolutely no play--I 
 will prove too.  I had it setup with a wald 137 and analog/fifth season 
 squall sack and/or cargo net, but I recently bought an outer shell 137 
 basket bag because I wanted a rando closure for the access.  As much as I 
 like roll top bags like the squall sack, I prefer them for long-term 
 storage, not day-to-day use.  Also, I have used this rack on wide drop 
 bars 
 and with v brakes.  I'm not sure where the interjection regarding 
 canti/center pulls came from, but I bet that they would work just fine 
 with 
 this rack.  I can only speculate, but I think you could use the largest of 
 handlebar bags, and this rack would be a fine support for them.  I think 
 the peck deck/rod steward is the worst compromise between a mechanically 
 secure rack and the jack the bike rack.

 I do have an extra jack the bike rack, black 137, and squall sack that 
 was underutilized on my wife's bike that I'm passively selling if you want 
 to buy it.  I personally don't need two with how easy it is to swap 
 between 
 bikes.

Only difference between 5-9 and higher speeds is space between the rings.  
I use many cranks with higher "speed" drivetrains with no ill effects.  
Setting up a FD is non-trivial.  I'd recommend removing it entirely and 
reinstalling from scratch using Park Tools instructions

It's an older interview, more than a few years ago now though it could have

in a bike shop setting, there was a storefront behind him.  I recall

companies, that he prefers to coexist with other companies that are doing what 
they're passionate about as well. He went into further detail on this. My 
memory of what he said has faded a bit but I still think about it a lot and it 
has always been something I admired about his approach.

Please help me find it!  Is there a collection of Grant interviews somewhere on 
the web?  There should be.. google just feeds me the same two or three over and 
over.

Many thanks

[RBW] Re: Sam/Roadini Comparisons with wheel size difference

2024-12-08 Thread Ted Durant
On Saturday, December 7, 2024 at 8:32:09 PM UTC-6 dane...@gmail.com wrote:

The 48cm Sam is 650b and I'm wondering if I'll be giving up any of the more 
road-ish feel of the bike with the same build but in 650b form on the Sam?  
Seems the Sam would be a little more versatile and have better braking 
options, but a degree slacker STA and the HTA down to 71 from 72 on he 650b 
Homer.   Wheelbase is about 10mm longer on the Homer.   Anybody have any 
experience here? 


I don't have a Roadini, but I have a Heron Road and Rivendell Road, which 
are pretty similar, and I have 3 Sam Hillbornes. I bought one Sam, not sure 
what I would think of it, and ended up buying 2 more, with 2 of them living 
at my daughters' homes. I've posted a few times about this, so for those 
who've heard it before, feel free to skip this one!

The Sam is the heaviest bike I have at this point, and I _love_ riding it, 
and I don't think it slows me down in any significant way. I ride ~48mm 
tires on all three of them, maximizing the all-road utility, which I have 
used to great advantage on dirt mountain roads around LA, gravel roads in 
Maine, and lots of bumpy tarmac in Wisconsin and Ireland. The handling is 
certainly different from my road bikes, but I have never thought "gee, I 
wish I was on one of my other bikes" while riding a Sam.  I haven't tried, 
say, 38mm tires on a Sam, but I expect they would significantly sharpen the 
handling (along with lowering the COG by 10mm). 

Don't underestimate the impact of the 71.5 degree seat tube angle, which 
compares to 73 on my Heron and Riv (and 73.5 on my Waterford ST). It puts 
the saddle 18mm farther back than a 73, at my saddle height of 715, without 
making any offsetting changes to the saddle position in the seat post. You 
have to take that into account when calculating what length stem to use. 
I've noticed some hand issues, especially on my Waterford, and I'm 
realizing now that the steep seat tube angle is probably a contributing 
factor.  Whether a slacker STA is good for you, only you can decide. I 
would note that, in general, the faster you ride the steeper a STA you'll 
tolerate, because you're putting more weight on the pedal, which unloads 
your hands. My hand issues on my Waterford are particularly noticeable if 
I'm loafing along. I can loaf more comfortably on the Sam, without any 
apparent loss of ability to put my (limited) power to the pedals.

Interestingly, I was recently measured by a bike builder and his design for 
me uses a 71.5 STA.

[RBW] Re: A simple custom steel BB cable guide

2024-12-08 Thread Kim H.
UPDATE:

I went a short bike the other day. The performance of my shifting was not 
as crisp as it was initially, unfortunately. (Okay I can hear a couple 
of you in the audience saying, "We told you different."...Okay, I am 
stubborn. I just wanted to shine in the moment of discovery. ) Therefore, I 
am in the head scratching corner. I am giving serious thought of changing 
out the whole cable and replacing it with either Jagwire Elite or Jagwire 
Pro. 

Which one do you think is better for a responsive, sealed and slick cable 
housing with the cable included for my Clem ?
The Elite ?

It is easy to install ?

I would need approximately 88 inches or 7.33 feet. 

Would I need zip ties to hold down the cable onto my frame ?

Thank you.
Kim Hetzel.
