I'm thinking about converting my Riv road (w/centerpulls) for Fall amateur-hour cyclocross (going to my first clinic tonight). I was planning to use my old vintage fenderless Trek 420 but I'm not sure if the weinmann calipers will hold up in muddy conditions (I THINK I could retrofit the bike with slightly wider cross tires).
Any suggestions for 650b type cross tires or other possible points of conversion. Wondering if it would be better to set up bike as a single speed or maybe switch over to single chainring in front, seven speed block in back with a more burly derailleur). What do other folks who run mountainbike-ish road bikes use in the way of tires and drivetrain set-ups?? Let me know what you think. Lesli Larson Eugene, OR (now, I'm wishing I hadn't sold off my xo-1. It would have been perfect for this type of use) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
