15% Tire Drop pressure is 40 & 48 F/R for 150# rider. So you are only 3
psig (6%) low in the Rear. Typically pinch flats occur at pressure 25%
lower than 15% tire drop pressure, in your case BELOW 30/36 psig F/R

You're worried for no reason. Still, a sharp Exacto knife around where the
threads start to remove paint has worked well in the past though not on the
derailleur hanger per se.

I guess I am the Dia Compe/Weinmann 750 brake whisperer. They stop my bikes
most fabulously. I'd ask you to please send the offending calipers to me,
but I already have extras waiting for a new build.

Hey N2,
This sounds hopeless. If you want to just sell this 65cm+ Hilsen to me; I will

Jeff, I'll try to track down a photo of my Big Bend hammock/bivy set-up in case
you want to give that a try. I worked better than expected. Now I know I can
manage a poor tree spacing scenario.

Without the time to find a thread tap to chase paint from those threads, I

My experience with Hammocks:
Grear:
- Wilderess logic Tadpole tarp with door kit
- Dutch hexon 11' hammock with fixed ridge line (highly recommend the fixed
RL!) and fronkey net
- Hammock Gear Incubator under quilt
- Sleeping bag or poncho liner or light blanket
- Dutch extra long kevlar straps
I purchased a Hennessy Hammock after witnessing Pondero's setup. I had
doubts about sleeping in a hammock that might force me to sleep in a U
shape but the Hennessy mitigates this with its asymmetrical design and I
add a thermarest pad as an insulating base that seems to help as well. I

I took a chance on these, and after careful consideration, I'm sticking
with my Albatross bars, purely to maintain my current reach to brake levers
using cork grips.
Looks like Riv is out of stock on these right now, so offering up my set.

Thanks all for the tips.
I knew that WD40 would be a poor substitute. I was just hoping a little
surface "cleaning" would help.
I'll work through this wonderful list of ideas, and hope I'll be able to
reuse the grips. I also hope I'll learn a lesson about installation.

Sanger,
I use a Hennessy Hammock, and it is designed for a lie that is bit flatter
because it is angled relative to the line between the end supports. I find
that it mitigates the issue that Bill mentioned satisfactorily for me.
Another trick is to put a spare shirt under your knees. Others have

+1 for the HED Belgiums with Bill Lindsay. Top quality manufacturing, and
they build up like a dream. I have had some tires come off by hand (when
deflated) with no tire levers needed.
As far as the A23, I have found Compass tires (and probably other brands)
will stretch after a week or two of
150 lb rider, I run 40 front 45 Rear. It is a miracle I have not suffered a
pinch flat though. I have tubeless 35c Gravel Kings on non-tubeless rims
with a tube inside.
On road, I'll pump it up closer to 50. never any higher than 55 though.

Yes, the long reach Dia-Compes are abysmal. I replaced with Pauls Racers and
it's a drastic improvement.

You're worried for no reason. Just install slowly as you describe..you'll be

I use the REI Quarter Dome Air Hammock as I'm a side/stomach sleeper. It's
a bridge hammock design. I have an Enlightened Equipment Revolution top
quilt which I love. As others have mentioned, you'll need an under-quilt or
a sleeping pad (less ideal) for warmth.

Pacenti makes a fairly light 28 spoke "Brevet" wheelset in 650B. That is

With a PBH of 80 I like the 650b wheel size. No or reduced toe overlap and

I like the old centerpulls on my Fuji 650B conversion, strong braking with
good modulation... until they get wet, then they're crap until the rims are
cleared. Compare that to the V brakes on my Black Mountain, which are
strong all the time. And have better tire clearance.
