I was messing around with a dry-run setup for the Seattle to Portland ride and I think I've hit my own personal Sam Hillborne nirvana. Of course, this only applies to the 6 day per week Seattle city stuff, but the camping stuff can go on without much fuss. It goes like this: 700x35 Schwalbe Marathon Racer HS366 (hardly any mention of these anywhere, but they're exceptionally good AND on sale from Schwalbe for $19.99 each at the moment). I have the 700x38 Greenguard, but I prefer these. They just feel right. 11-30 cassette, 8 speed. I love the 12-36 Riv standard, but it's now on the "camping" rear wheel (Rhyno Lite 27mm, super gnarly) SKS Longboards will be back on soon, but I'm just treating myself this week while the weather's nice. Salsa Delgado Cross 36h wheels from Jim Thill. Absolutely fantastic skill from Jim of course. The dynohub front wheel gets to hang out in the closet till next winter. VO Model 6 saddle. Love it now that it's started to break in. Medium shopsack and saddlesack xs is the best combo I've found as an every day set up. The saddlesack large (and big rack) is just too much to mess with as an every day thing. This is better for me. Looks good too. Finally, my Sugino crank started life as a triple, transformed into a 36/24 double with a guard, and has now transformed into a 40/24 double with a guard. Now I love it. If you've made it this far, thanks for reading my rambles. There's really only one group of people I can share this without feeling nerdy (and who will actually know what I'm going on about). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
