The key number there is "x18," which would be half as wide as you
want. Upside... it's light. I've been putting 26" tubes in 650A tires
for years.

Not necessarily that short but tall..way tall so that the grip
area is level or higher than the saddle. Due to the head tube angle
going higher also brings the bar back toward you so don't get too
extreme just use some common sense. As far as the 'instability' idea
that's just an idea (actually
Hi Kelly,
Congrats on your beautiful Bombadil! Great pics, thanks for sharing them!
Seeing the conditions that you ride in is inspiring.
I've just posted pics of my new Hunqapillar, and they should be up before

Hi,
Summer is finally in full force, here in Northern California, and I've been

post some pics. I apologize, ahead of time, as I'm not a very g
For sale is a pair of brand new Paul cross levers for drop bars. They
were only mounted, and maybe got 50 miles on them before I changed my
bars. They have a 26.0mm clamp, so they clamp to the sleeve or bump at
the center of the bars. They're quite beautiful, brushed sliver color
and also have the
If the areas are pretty large, it might be worthwhile to first apply masking
tape around the area, do a good sanding down to the metal with automotive
sandpaper. Then apply a rust-inhibiting primer like Rustoleum, either by
brush or spray. If by spray, of course you'll want to re-mask and cove

650C and 650B are certainly close enough in diameter that you could use the
same tube; but most 650C tires are narrow racing tires, so that's probably
all the bike shop had. You probably want something like this:

The problem isn't with the "650" part of the sizing. If you stick 650x18
tubes into 650x36 tires, yes, the tubes will seem thin.

Thanks all for the feedback. It sounds like I would need a very short
stem 6-7cm for the M-bars and probably a 12 for the A-bars...
All this talk of instability at speed has me now questioning the

I think most of us just use 26" MTB tubes of the appropriate width.
Works fine for me.

Let me add this. Our leader here rode his FIXEDGEAR.
I rode most of the road on my road, camping, towing my son, carbon, rando,
fast, slow, hot, cold, rain, sun but have not done this route on fixedgear
yet.
SFR will host this again in Oct. but if anyone wants to ride all or most of
the route
Or they couldn't figure out to turn off the lights.. Don't know.. But they
liked it enough to park it nicely ..

for real? stolen? I guess they were smart enough to realize they couldn't
pawn off something like that too easily. Or maybe it was just too tall for
them to ride.

There are 650A, 650B and 650C. Likely you have 650C tubes which are a smaller

Had the bike stolen last night. Filedmthe police report, sent photos etc.
Officer came back 10 minutes later put me in the car for a cruise three houses

No doubt a dumb question, but here goes: is there a difference between
650 and 650B tubes? I just bought three sets of 650x18s for my
Bleriot, only to find that they look suspiciously thin for my 36mm
650Bs.
Anyone know where I can buy 650B tubes in northern Virginia?

How do you like it with baskets front and rear? It seems incredibly
useful, but I'm worried about the ride with the large one in back.

I discovered interrupters in 1999 when I set up a cross bike for myself. It
was kind of an epiphany for me. I started setting them up on every bike of
mine. They just made sense to me. The reverse epiphany happened last
summer at Riv HQ. I was test riding a Hunqapillar with Noodles and SRAM
I'm sure the Nittos would be fine. But I like the flare on the Salsas
for the dirt. I find that when the going gets rougher, the flare
prevents wrist/forearm from knocking into the bars.

Dan is pretty spot-on, your best bet is trying to get someone here to
sell you theirs. As someone who's now got a mix of baggins, ns tweed,
carradice and berthoud bags, at some point you have to embrace the un-

I think Charlie has the correct formula.
FWIW, I used the Technomic (non-deluxe) stem in order to get the Albatross
bars really high, which was perfect.
