Patrick, I don't do the Apple thing but the camera on my Samsung S10+ is
absurdly good. I understand all the retrogrouch reasons for not wanting the
latest and greatest (and biggest), but if you want a handy device for websites,
text, email, InstaFaces AND a great camera, well my friend it's tim
I’m thinking your existing crank may very well have 74 bcd tapped drillings on
the inside that, with 5 more chainring bolts and spacers, will allow you to
mount a third, inner ring down to 24 teeth. If so, no new crank needed to
convert to a triple.

I still have this frame, if anyone needs a project. $800 shipped.
Maybe worth mentioning that it does still have canti studs as well as disc
tabs, like those early Surly Karate Monkeys, so you've got options

Thanks Collin! I've noodled the very southern end of that route on a
three-day loop out of Chester. Spent two days and nights hunkered down at
Manzanita Lake due to rain and snow. The weather cleared miraculously for
us and we boogied down through Old Station. I'll never forget the view

Hello my fellow Riv-Heads of the Gateway City
In the 3 years that I have been back into bikes, and aware of Rivendell, I
have had the pleasure of running into 3 different Riv-Riders. One, the
venerable Jeff Smith, had enough time to stop and have a 1/2 hour
conversation before my wife called
Nice, glad the hunkering was rewarded with a lovely view of the mountain! I
was hoping to spend time this summer exploring the area, but that looks
less likely each week...
I met up with friends at summit lake for labor day weekend, then we drove
home.
I've been half-assing a route trying to c
Been trying to sell this on another site (Backpacking Light) and figured
the Riv crowd might be interested. Not sure what shipping will be, but I'll
cover the first ten bucks of shipping for my price of $30.
For sale is a lightly used Caldera Cone system, purchased new from Trail

Another backpacking item for sale that the Riv crowd might find useful.
This unit works perfectly and has never been used in the field.
Includes sheath and instruction booklet. $50 shipped CONUS paypal f&f or

Collin, perhaps we could continue the thread drift a bit, because the 'east
side Lost Sierra' route you are describing has been of large interest to me
as well. My initial version is to ride from home (Rocklin) to Truckee,
north around Stampede Reservoir and generally along the HWY 89 corridor
+1 I would love to see that route from Sac to Truckee. I was looking at a
route through Foresthill.

Nathan,
I no longer live in St. Louis so couldn’t be a part of any meet up, unless I
happened to be visiting my son at the time. Many years ago I bike commuted
from near Grants Farm to the CWE thru Forest Park. Are you aware of Grants

Neil & Others,
The loop you are describing sounds super nice, have you done it before
(assuming yes, but want to confirm)?
The route I'm working on to Truckee/Donner is a climb-heavy route, maybe 2
days (only done sections for recon). Probably best not to ride western
states ;)
The route I in
Yeah, great time for a meet up :-/

Hello Bill,
When Samwise Hillborne was ready to roll last month, the FIRST ride I made
was from here in Richmond Heights, down the River Des Peres Greenway, to
Grant’s Trail. By far, my least favorite part was Grant’s Trail. I have

OK, well I took the Atlantis out today & it was brilliant!
Planned on a 30 mile loop, but as usual I did more! 😜 39 miles total.
East Plano is still a head scratcher for me, bike paths pop up and poop out
with no rhyme or reason. Eventually maybe I'll learn how to piece them together?

I don't think the 2 meter rule necessarily applies to cycling or running.
There is a computer-simulated model out of Europe that suggests that for
higher speed travel modes, like running and cycling, you might need far
more than 6 feet. Granted, it's a model, not peer-reviewed, and there's

Glad that someone is beginning to look at it at least. I hadn't heard any
of that. It makes sense that velocity is going to affect distance. Tho,
this could cause concern for the increase number of people that are offset
from public transit using the bike lanes.

Well, I’ve never done a group ride in my life, so I’m not suggesting that
for the meet up.
As far as I’m concerned, we can all agree to ride in from different points
on the compass so that we don’t have to calculate our velocity and distance
and radii of possible transmission under speed.

I forgot to answer Roberta's question on what saddle I had.
It's one by Origin8.I think it's called the Sport Uno.
I double checked the measurements to make sure they were close to a Brooks B17.
I like the brown color and the comfort and have 3 of them as I cannot justify a
B17 on every bike.

Aye, I thought the same thing Bill. May Require a wider BB to clear the
chain stays if they went as narrow as possible with the current build.

If I can't mount it on the fork crown, stem, handlebars or rack I mount it on
the right side. The lights these days are bright enough that cars can see it
wherever its mounted, but most roads tend to get choppier the closer you get to
the curb, with the light on the right I can see the curb, Ape
I don’t know of any taller V brakes. This is a well known problem with that
style rack. I recommend Shimano CX cantis for this situation.

I agree that bike is splendid looking. I also believe the Cheviot name and

I saw this bike in the Riv newsletter and I nearly tipped over. This is the
exact bike I would have chosen for myself if I had asked for a custom (but done
in red, you know). It’s elegant and lovely and it looks like a ball gown. Do

I forgot to say that I will really miss the Cheviot name and decals if they
rename the bike. If it gets a new name please no Wolbis. Or Slugstone. I dread
telling newcomers, “Let me tell you about my Wolbis.” It will sound terribly
inappropriate.
Looking at the bike and what a class act it is,
I see a name thread coming! I vote Elliottdale, a hardy Tasmanian sheep breed.
Name can also be read Elliott Dale, which sounds as delightfully bonkers as
Charlie Gallup et al.

I've got V-brakes on my Atlantis with that rack. I just measured the arms
& they look to be 100 mm from post to where the wire connects. They are
Shimano, generic V-brakes. All they say on them is "Shimano", other
letters or ID. I think they were around $30 each. Pretty common stuff.

Definitely look at the model number of your current v brakes and figure out the
arm length. Then use gravelbike.com's table to buy a brake that work.
I have fooled around with this same problem quite a bit. It looks like you just
need a few mm longer.
