If Sam passes on this I will take it! If you are willing to ship international of course, I realise that can be a big obstacle. Going to try to work out how PMs work. On Friday, 7 May 2021 at 10:06:59 UTC+8 jeffbog...@hotmail.com wrote: > Sam, I've tried to reach out but haven't heard back. >

[RBW] Re: Schmidt Wire with B&M Lights?

Agree with Ian about ordering what you need from PWC. They have everything you need (and then some) and are very cheerful to deal with. I find the B&M wiring easier to work with because it's smaller in diameter and the conductors are easy to separate and terminate. The Schmidt co-ax requires a

[RBW] Re: Schmidt Wire with B&M Lights?

Thanks, Ian. Sounds like that's the best thing to do as I'm not handy with solder and finding the right size connectors could be tricky. On Friday, May 7, 2021 at 6:46:22 PM UTC-4 Ian A wrote: > > If it is to run out to the tail light, the connectors from the light > (assuming B&M/Schmidt etc)

[RBW] Re: Schmidt Wire with B&M Lights?

If it is to run out to the tail light, the connectors from the light (assuming B&M/Schmidt etc) require 2.8mm female spade connectors. Either crimp or solder to the coaxial cable and heat shrink to insulate. 2.8mm spade connectors aren't too available at hardware stores. The connectors for th

[RBW] Schmidt Wire with B&M Lights?

I bought a Schmidt dynamo coaxial wire from a local bike shop. Each end is just a single straight unadorned wire, though, with no connectors. I need to use it with B&M lights which have two connectors set up like the below photo from Riv

Re: [RBW] Re: To My Platypus People!

Anyone lucky enough to already have his/her 55 Platy, could you measure the effective top tube and post that here? If it matters, I run the seat height around 72cm. I sent Analog Cycles Losco and Albatross bars today (both already in my bin) and they will decide which will work best for me wi

[RBW] Losco vs Albatross 6mm Additional Sweep back--an additional 6cm

I placed the Albatross on top of the Losco, lining up the clamp area. The Losco extends back an additional 6cm. I had looked previously and couldn't find this measurement. Perhaps this information is interesting to someone. Roberta -- You received this message because you are subscribed t

Re: [RBW] Re: Basket Rack with Panniers?

Jay - agreed that the Basket rack is not the best tool for the job, but its the tool I have right now and i'm not in the mood to spend another $280 on a (very nice) rack. I also don't know if I would like the impact the front load would have on the bike yet, hence trying to use what I have and g

Re: [RBW] Re: Basket Rack with Panniers?

Collin, I think you’d be better off with a Pass and Stow rack for that application. (That’s what Michael appears to have in the pictures he sent.) I have one on my Hunq, and my wife has a Basket Rack on her Cheviot. The Basket Rack is great for lighter loads, but has too many points of articula

[RBW] Re: Basket Rack with Panniers?

I think it's worth a try but there are multiple places to add redundancy. If the diving board fails the whole assembly will rotate forward and that will be bad. You should run an Irish strap to prevent that rotation. The telescoping lower strut should be straight vertical, but various twisti

[RBW] Basket Rack with Panniers?

Howdy Folks, I wanted to poll some of the rivendell hive-mind wisdom here. I'm messing around with my current bikepacking setup and wanted to give a shot with front panniers to see how the bike handles. I don't have a dedicated pannier rack for the front of my bike, but I do have the RBW Basket

Re: [RBW] Re: Pseudo-Rivendell Thread?

Thanks. Currently have the fat-tire Matthews here in Ft Worth for a week. Crank on this one is a 175 mm Ritchey Logic 110/74, and that on the hub geared bike is an old 170 mm TA Pro 5 Vis. The light mount is really a rack support, except that the builder messed up the lowriders; hope eventually to
