I found one and got it all set up to my liking. On a ride once, somebody asked if the bike “planed” when it got up to speed. It surprised me that someone would use a windsurfing description to describe a bike ride. After that question I was determined to see if it did. What I found was that my

Similar to Mackenzy, I’ve been bike commuting to college campuses for many decades, the last 30 of which have been in the Boston area. I’ve never had a bike stolen likely because (1) I use a decent lock and (2) never park it outside overnight. I have colleagues who would never leave their bikes

Hey Mackenzy, I live in the interior of BC (Slocan Valley near Nelson) so our weather is a bit different, but here's what I can tell you about how I care for my bikes: 1. I don't really ride them much in the winter (Dec.-Mar.) unless I head South so I can't say much about salty roads and such

I'm amazed at the amount of discouragement of use of the Clem as a college commuting bike. I've worked at universities a good chunk of my life and commuted with high(er) end bikes and never had any issues. I like riding nice bikes - which is why I own them. I've parked in high foot traffic zon

Howdy all, I am curious in what sort of maintenance you and your Riv's (and other bikes) undergo. 1. location (climate variable) 2. how often do you tinker with your bike (customizing, small adjustments, wash, grease) (can you over grease?) 3. how often do you full tear down (do you re-trea

Jay: If you live in a paradise without goatheads and ride more-or-less road tires (up to, say, 42 mm) on pavement, then based on my experience I'd say give tubeless and sealant a miss. Sealant is messy, adds cost, adds weight, clogs valves, and -- tho' this happens only when you get punctures -- sp

So I want to be sure I’m understanding what’s being conveyed here. Attached find a screenshot from the Velocity website showing cross sections of various rims they sell.

Haha! I had no idea it had been going on for so long. My guess is less "extensive stock" and more "limited buyers". There are probably not a lot of people that want both the lightest of aluminum seatposts AND also need that diameter. But I think if people knew that they were cheaper than the el

This is a good heads up! I think they’ve been trying to offload the 26.8 at this price for a few years now so they must have (or had) a decent inventory. I bought one at this price in 2020. Looks like the secret is out now. :) Josh On Tuesday, August 8, 2023 at 6:24:23 AM UTC-7 Johnny Alien w

So we all know that 26.8 is not all that common these days and there are few options on the market. Nitto, Thomson, Kalloy, and generally whatever Velo Orange is offering. Thomson is discontinuing the diameter in their masterpiece line and you can currently buy the remaining stock from them for
