How awful! On the bright side, she is still alive, and you can be

Lee rode a Bridgstone MB-1 last weekend round the mountains in East San
Diego Co, and the Big Apples were great for him. He had Albatross type bars
which led to some hand fatigue, but the tires seemed to perform flawlessly.

There is no choice. If you have a tall steerer tube, you need the spacers.
If you want less height, you have to cut the steerer and use fewer spacers.

Wow, how tragic! I'm happy to hear of the potential for a full
recovery, and hope you guys will keep that tour plan alive. Maybe the
long term anticipation will motivate the recovery. Best wishes.

I use the 60s off road all the time for two reasons, first because my off

Has anyone used Big Apples off-road? I believe Jay's video shows him
doing so and Grant said he loves them.
Anyone else? Comarisons with knobbies?

BTW - another way to quiet down the sack is to attach the side latches
on the bottom rung of the basket to add tension and then throw a
basket net over the top. Not worth it around town but it's nice to get
rid of some of the rattle on longer rides.

I have 2 wheelsets for my Ram. The RBW stock set with the Shimano 12 - 27 9
