Thanks for that perspective compendium James. Much of what becomes
contentious about various lubes does focus on a very narrow aspect of its
function (or impact) and environment of use. Props for the article too.
Time remains the most powerful legal tool.

On Sunday,
Leah,
Try Simworks if you want aluminum fenders. I have an MIT Atlantis with 700
x 55c Rene Herse Antelope Hill tires. Simworks has a fenders all the way up
to 80 mm wide. Mine are the Flat 65s. They fit only needing a very small
crimp on either side by the fork. Simworks has other sizes a
Re-radiusing the wavy fender to fit 700c is very easy. Velo Orange even
has a blog on how to do
it: https://velo-orange.com/pages/re-radiusing-fenders
You'll have to gently squeeze the fender together so it ends up being a bit
narrower. The wavy is pretty wide from the start so you'll probably
John,
Per the aerial map in the below link (scroll down), the area I mentioned
earlier is free commuter parking for Seastreak (Lot 2). (The smaller Lot 1
also works, if spaces are available at 11:30.) I think you were looking at
Lot 3.) I believe what you're suggesting is Lot 4, which would als
A NOS creamsicle Rambly? Holy smokes, what a find.

Looks lovely. Will you use a chain keeper with the Altus?
I am planning a Roadini 1x with an Altus rear derailleur and a Wolf Tooth
Components dropstop chainring, which I hope will be sufficient. I am
putting the chainring in the middle position with a Riv Silver bashguard on
the outer slot.
Dave, this is fantastic. My tires will be 43 or 44, I think. But won’t the 650b
fenders be too short on a 700 c wheel??? If not, I would totally go for it.

Sorry. I forgot to leave an update here. I did finally hear back from
Jintensha (it seems my email initially filed to their spam folder for some
reason) and they let me know that they don't currently have any of the
Kiley lights in stock. I just ordered from the site that Nikko linked.
Thank, N
Not planning on using a chain keeper. This will be my commuter - all
pavement.

I think all of VO's fenders are the same length. If anything, the fender
may grow slightly in overall length. The squeezing of the sides is going
to cause the fenders to slightly stretch. Think about squeezing a piece of
playdough (or real dough!?). If you smash a round ball, you get a much

Hi all,
I'm planning some improvements to my BMC Monster Cross and a new crankset
is among them. I had it built with a 48x34 setup but after riding it for a
while I've decided 46x30 is probably more my speed.
I'm curious as to the group's thoughts on the merits of the Velo Orange and

That looks beautiful, Dave.
I was going to bring my A Homer Hilsen (42 tires), but that doesn't have
fenders. And, you mention gravel. Would fendered Joe Appaloosa (47 tires)
be better? Or, is it whichever bike "speaks" to me that day?
I'm OK going up moderate hills that aren't too steep (
Must be in the air Julian
I grabbed a creamcycle version too, 62 cm a little more than a week ago.
Even though it had been through 2 other owners, it looks new after all
these years. I had all parts on hand except a stem, so a fellow ibob
offered one up and is the mail. Rummaging around for ca
Hi all,
I am posting this for a friend who has been unable to ride for a number of
years and his Ram has been sitting unused in his garage. It is "almost" in
almost pristine condition with very few miles. There are just a couple of
scratches on the top tube from a garage tip over. I've got som

I bought one of these off the list last year, came with the SKS vendors as
is typical for an RBW bike. I would like to put metal fenders on it, just
because. I have an unused set of the first generation V-O Zepplins, which
would work, but I suspect wider is really ideal based on the c
Hi,
I have a Herse crankset I bought from Jan Hein. They are beautiful and I wanted
one for many years before I decided to pony up. They are costly.
Works as good as it looks, but here is the rub:
I’ve mounted hundreds of cranks over the past 30+ years. I’ve only ever had one
come loose: the very
I've been riding a VO 50.4mm crankset for years and it's great. I certainly
recommend it. I replaced the rings with some smaller TA ones.
SUNXCD also makes a similar set of arms that you can pair with some TA
rings of your choosing.

Not cheaper, but the simworks flat 65 (

worked on my Joe and look nice. It took some dimpling at the chainstays,
seatstays and fork crown, but they work well enough (and they were

Yup, the SunXCD arms are beautiful and can be matted with TA Cyclotourist
rings. Good luck, looks like you have quite a few options. You can get
the SunXCD from a couple of shops in the UK without breaking the bank. You
can also just buy the arms from them and get the TA Cyclotourist chainrin
I just got the last rear light, I wanted 2 but they only had one so I
figured I’d try a front as well. Thanks for the update Ray.

Thanks for the link highlighting the Seastreak ferry parking Lots #1, #2,
#3, & #4 as well as the text descripton. It was a very big help. I was
using Bing Maps and they show Hennessey Blvd as West Ave.
I suggest meeting in Parking Lot #1, at 1st Ave and Sutton Way. It
appears paved wit
If you're interested, I've got a VO 50.4 crankset with a 44-30 combo I'll
be looking to sell probably next week. ($150 shipped in the 48 states with
the 118mm grand cru bottom bracket they recommend. Both are still in great
shape). DM me if you're interested / want pics.

Do you think we need any more directions for the folks coming??? The train
and ferry NYC folks seem to know what to do. Are the driving "directions"
adequate wrt to getting there and parking. Fairly simple: Get to GSP
South to Atlantic City, get off at NJ SR36, take SR36 to Atlantic
Regarding directions: Plug this into your GPS:
2 Simon Lake Drive
Atlantic Highlands, NJ 07716
Regarding parking: Lot 1 might fill up sooner, but Lots 1 and 2 are right
next to each other, so it really doesn't matter; we'll see each other. Even
if you park on the street somewhere, just come do
Have you looked at the Velo Orange hubs? I had a rear on my recently

Thanks for the directions, which answers John's question. The pictures

I'll be getting a pair of these also; at least they are pretty Ergons!
Thanks for the tip!
Prior to Riv, I had a 1990 hybrid bike and my purchase of Ergon grips was
the best investment in comfort I made for that bike. I still have the
grips, but they are too short for this application.
