Garth, thanks for posting the catalog snapshot. I love the DDT Sidewalls
description. That made me laugh.

Jim, do you use the Racers in 30 or 35? (Also, do you carry them in your

You're welcome, Clamp. After test riding some of Riv's models, I knew that
the Hunqapillar was the right bike for me, too. Mine's a 54, and I got it
with the shorter reach Bullmoose bars, and Big Apples. What a fun, fun bike
it is to ride!

I've had a rough few months with flats from goatheads, after no flats

I just put on a pair of Foss, rim liners and all, not for flat

tubes and carry no spare. I w

As a point of contrast, I had mentioned my good luck with the JB green on a short tour, but I forgot to mention one other fact. My JB's were new out of the bag, and that ride was the first time they were used.

Thanks, Garth. I've never used the dime sized ones, only the next size
up -- didn't realize Rema came in the smaller size.

I like the Marathon Racers quite a bit in terms of lively ride quality, with
the tougher Marathon Supremes being only a little bit less lively. I tried
the JB Blues on 3 bikes (Atlantis, Romulus, and Santana tandem), and never
cared for them. JB Greens are among my favorite tires, but delicate.
Dear RBW Friends,

If one wants to buy such small patches in bulk, where can he find
them? I've got plenty of patches but they are all nickel sized or
better and the dimers would work better on skinny and very light
