Oh yeah. I'd go with option 3. Be happy with what you have!
You can put the $800-1000 you save on new parts and switching out all those
pieces toward your next Rivendell bike. Because you can't just have one,
right?

Such an interesting topic. I think about switching out the wheel set on my
52 Clem L quite often. It is not a light or zippy bike by any stretch of
the imagination. I, too, have the stock Riv wheels with the rainbow
nipples. I find it absolutely necessary to have a 5-rail Pass & Stow rack

I expect that Rene Herse 42 or 48 or 52 mm tires will give you low rolling

Not ridiculous at all in my opinion. Before I got the Clem I got a second set
of identical wheels for my Jones. Both were set up tubeless, one with plus size
MTB tires, the other with tires more suited for road / gravel duties. Key to
this working was that they were identical including the disk
Fair enough on the unwillingness to learn wheelbuilding. I kept a dynamo on
the front of my clem, as it served double duty as my commuter and its just
so convenient for a commuter bike. My wife loves her lighter dynamo'd AHH
as well!

I go through these mental gymnastics all of the time. First, I was just

Sofie,

choice) is not an issue, more of how it feels. Also, once you go dyanmo

4. Have your shop return the front wheel to a non-dyno hub. I think the
main reason to try to drop significant weight from a Clem wheelset is to
counteract the gain in a SON and headlamp, if you're pulling those

Keep the wheels and change your gearing to make it climb easier!

If you were sliding off the front of the B67, next time angle the nose up
till the back is about level. Test ride and adjust until you no longer
slide forward or back. The nose might look like it's pointing up in a
dangerous direction, but I've never seen a well used B67 on a bike where

Good morning!
I don't know how you'd define "a few hours," but I'm in Omaha, NE and have

more than welcome to give it a spin. I'm confident, though, that you'll
encounter one a little closer to home.
