Thank you Doug, and thank you to everyone that was able to make it out for
this. Doug, Curtis, Esteban, Evan, Aaron, Ian, Paul, Rob, Mike... what a
fantastic showing.
Between 130 and 150 riders showed up. The most diverse group of bikes on
any ride I've been on. Full basket and Alba-fied Rivs, MCR
Strada Rossa in Redlands was an event worthy of annual status. I couldn't
ride the course but got to spend some time exploring downtown Redlands, a
wonderful city with plenty of local businesses. The apres' ride party
featured music, food, beer & bikes. Equipment was everything from serious

Hi David,
I have gotten a pretty overwhelming response on the tandem and there are a
couple folks ahead of you in line. It’s likely I will sell it tomorrow, but I
will let you know if anything changes.

Mostly I am thinking: racks with light posts, fork blades with wire runs,

I think tires can make a big difference, and could easily bridge that gap
between "good" and "great."
I put Marathon Supremes on a bike, after running 700x60 Big Apples, and the
Marathons felt doggier. Plus I was measurably slower against my friends, and up
timed climbs. I just switched them fo

I'll take as pictured it if you can wait until after the weekend. I'm working

Though if the guys myth was formed by riding a Sam with little Ben schwalbes at

Mat,
I doubt that you could tell any difference in the ride of an Asian Sam and a
Wisconsin one. Please put yourself at ease over that.
Tires can make quite a difference. Pressure, width and construction all make a
difference. Sometimes the tires on test bikes at RBW are at very low pressure,

Matt,
Can't hurt to try new tires, except put a wee dent in your wallet! I was
astonished how big a difference in trail and died road riding there was
between the 50mm Dureeme and the 2.25" Smart Sams, so while that is
obviously a different type of riding, yes, the tire can make a huge
differe
Interesting. I too have Supremes on my Sam Hillborne. I had Marathon Pluses on
my last bike, so I'm pretty happy with them. I can't be messing with flats on
my way to work so the Supremes are staying on for a while.
