In case you haven't looked at a map lately... the southern WA Cascades are
pretty accessible from Portland, OR. A buddy laid out the route to Sunset
Falls and invited me along with he and some other bike camping friends.

I like the Schwalbe Ultremo. Very fast, light, and so far, no flats in the
first 1,000 miles.

I agree.
I have the Challenge PR's on my bike now, but when they wear out, I'll go back
to the Cerfs. Awesome tires in every way.
Both of these tires do great on gravel/dirt roads too - for what they are.

Most new chains are not intended to be installed with a chain tool. If you did
install it with a chain tool, check for a stiff link. The easy way is to stand

That would be the answer. Replacing a worn chain resulting in skipping should
always make you think "worn cassette". If no amount of adjusting dials it in,
it's time for a new cassette.
I didn't see the original thread here, but if you're using a master link, make
sure it's installed properly.
I agree. Both of those answers are probably the two most likely
suspects. Your old chain and your cassette wore together, and when you
put the new chain on, it revealed the wear in the cassette that was
hidden before.

Maybe a stiff link in the new chain?

Hi Pam,
I'd maybe take a look at your cogs and chainrings (if you haven't replaced
those too), and make sure that the teeth aren't too worn.You'll know if
the teeth end in sharp points like a shark fin.

I just got a new chain after LBS told me the old one was worn out.
The new one occasionally skips. The old one never did. What's the
problem?

Great ideas, Steve... I also have a helmet cover, but I wonder how
well it breaths... I like the wool cap suggestion much better.

If you use rose-colored glasses, you are guaranteed to have a happy day!

That looks like a very nice frame, in the Rivendell value set if not
in the Riv material/assembly/aesthetic set. Slightly too big: the 57
would fit me perfectly but I could make it work. Good thing it don't
take fat tires, otherwise I'd find it hard to say "no."

Challenge Parigi-Roubaix -- hands down. No question, the best tire in that
width.
On a Mavic Open Pro they measure about 28.5. On a Velocity A23 they're more
like 29.

Should be new or close to new.
Scored more old cassettes today and am closer to my ideal and
idiosyncratic 2X9 Fargo gearing.
Can provide photos of trade goods. One turbo has been scuffed but the
cover is still integral. The other Turbo is used but not scuffed. The

I've tried both the Challenge Parigi-Roubaix and the Grand Bois
Cypres. Compared to the Jack Brown Greens (my "best" all-rounder),
they both appear to roll better. The PR wins my "best" list by being a
better tire for cornering - both are quite sticky, but the PR tracks
predictably and the Cypres t
I mightily resisted the Moustaches for many years. I ran Noodles and
Randonneurs, a set of bull horns on my single speed. Nothing felt right.
I tried the Moustaches on a whim, and now they're the only ones I use. I
commute on them, do centuries, group pacelines, everything you can think
of.
I have a pair of yellow safety glasses I use in the rain. The yellow
color makes a bleak, gray day a lot brighter.
Also, a wool cycling cap under your helmet helps a lot on a rainy day.

I can speak to the quality and ride of the Grand Bois tires in all sizes.
They are the best tires I have ever used. They are worth the price. What
do you mean by "best" ? I think the Riv Ruffy Tuffy and Rolly Poly are
great tires. You cant go wrong in that size range. There are many threads

What is the best 28-30 mm 700c tire for fast riding on pavement? Or
some good ones?

In keeping with my only-own-two-bikes-at-a-time rule (though I admit the
rotation is dizzyingly frequent), I am selling a nice Salsa frame set to
