The 559 wheels need not be a turn off: my 56cm Atlantis is currently shod with
nice red hetres.

I have an Atlantis (58) now, and I had a Sam (56). Amazingly similar fits
for me between these two bikes in these sizes. I like that the Atlantis can

The bearing tension isn't adjustable with cartridge bearings. The Surly hubs
have a shoulderless axle, just like an old-fashioned cup-cone type hub. For
lack of a better term, the "cone" that bottoms out on the bearing can
self-tighten and destroy the bearing in short order. The formula and all-

Here's the plan:
First in a nutshell: We ride from Cumberland, MD to Confluence, PA on
Day 1 (Sat, Apr 21) which is 62 miles, then Confluence to

we get shuttled back to Cumberland (people, bikes and gear).

Thanks all for the information. Eric: I assume you've had no problem
with bearing tension after the swap to the QR axle?
The price certainly looks good.
Jim: care to comment on QR conversion of this hub and comparison with Surley?

I have read the posts on this subject with interest. I have a lot of
bikes, including an Atlantis, a custom randonneur, a Rambouilet and a
number of vintage touring bikes. If I could only have one bike (I
sincerely hope I'm never in that position), it would be the Atlantis.

I'd not paid attention to it previously, but a couple of weeks ago when the
wife and my son were watching the previous season on the PBS site to catch
up and get ready for this coming season, I knew it was something I'd end up
watching along with them.
John, you *can* watch them on the PBS
Could you please post the itinerary for this tirp? I have tried to piece it

have been planning a DC to Pittsburgh trip on the trails and if I could plan it
to overlap with the rally that would be fun.
Thanks.
