I run the 29er Big Apples in the 2.35 (60mm) width on the Fargo, which
fit just fine, even with Planet Bike Cascadia fenders... They are over-
the-top awesome tires! I can pump these up to 60 PSI and they FLY
over the road.. Typically, though I keep them at around 32-35 PSI and
ride on mixed
Scott:
Well that stinks... Park Tools makes an awesome folding chain tool
that fits in your pocket or tool pouch... I always carry one of these
along with a few extra chain links and a quick-link. I can't tell you
how many times this has happened to me, where fortunately I had the
tool and few ext
According to my conversation with RBW, the Bombadil with the diagonal
tubes (full length to the dropouts) will carry a slight price increase
to offset the tubing and funky lugwork (can't wait to see that). The
double TT version of the Bomba is apparently no longer being made

For my Bombadil, I plan to lace up a set of wheels with a derailleured
rear and dynamo front hub. I'd appreciate advice, particularly on my
rear hub choice.
Planned setup:
Rims - 36-hole Velocity Dyad
Front hub - Schmidt SON 28 or Shimano dh-3n80 (which I realize I may
need to order from Europe

Precisely why I carry a chain tool (plus some extra links) always and
never depend on those goofy "quickee links". I predict your repair kit
will evolve soon. Thankfully you suffered no permanent

The thoughts on the mileage seem to be pretty universal from what I've
read. Everybody kinda' likes that distance.
I think it's the hat that helped me through it all!

Thanks Beth! The mileage (kilometerage??) really is a good one. I should
have re-set my computadora to kilometers! I may be able to do a full 200k
someday, but right now this is good. Time on bike, fatigue, accomplishments
& enjoyment are all maximized (or minimized) to just the right point. W

Congrats on the Metric! I did my summer Metric last month and had a
blast, not sure I am ready for the ol' Imperial yet but the 100km was

Nicely done! Congrats!
Through several years of trial and error I have learned that I will
never be a randoneuse, and I will never complete a 200k brevet. My
body is just not set up that way, and attempting that long a distance
mostly non-stop will probably hurt me.
But I've found that a metric is
Seth: I think you're making far too much of the difficulty of
adjusting bar height on threadless steerers. I have seen this rumor
perpetuated again and again, but it simply isn't true, in my
experience. On all my threadless bikes, I have enough steerer that I
can move the bars a cm or even an inch
