I've ridden 700x38 and 650Bx42 on gravel roads. The additional wheel

Last fall I got a Slingshot Cross bike. I'm using 700x37 Paselas and
it's awfully nice. My first 700c bike in several years and by far the
best 700c experience I've had.
I recently found another identical frameset that I'm converting to
650B, so I'll be able to test your theory!
Stay Tuned,
BTW, the Chinese cashmere should probably be avoided. The strands are much
shorter, so it doesn't last as long before it starts pilling and looking
ratty, and the raising of the animals is destroying the Mongolian steeps.

Definitely. I also recently started riding with a simple cashmere
sweater that was given to me as a gift (I have no clue how much it
costed) and I've found it to be perfect for rides in the 40s to low

sweater is black, but feeling lik

30 miles today in mid 30's temps. Not on the Riv. Still the bike

The midge bars are MUCH wider feeling and in actuall measure. I have
them and use them on some set ups, but find the drops short, I have
big hands. The number of hand positions is somewhat limited too, due
to the shape. I find myself always coming back to the Nitto dirt

That is really bad. You are stirring up a serious case of bike lust, an

I wish you all the luck in resolving the hand pain Rene.
For me, a double wrap of cotton tape on my Atlantis bike makes the

the diameter and seems to spread out the load a bit.
