When I stopped racing it, I converted my old Litespeed race bike from 622
wheels with 25mm tyres to 584 with 32mm tyres, as the chainstays on the
Litespeed bow inwards, and the widest 622 tyre that would fit between the
chainstays was 25mm. Because 584 rims are 19mm smaller radius, I could

Like, WOW. Nicolas, you really make me want to go there and explore. I
would rather take 4hrs to cover 'those' 35km than a fast-paced, paved ride
anywhere around here.

Frames are designed to handle best with wheels of a certain diameter with
tires of a certain width, but sometimes you can vary tire size and get away
with it without making the bike handle strangely or risking pedal strike.

Robert and everyone, I apologize; Robert is right, these are not the model
I know and love.
Apparently, REI no longer carries these; too bad. If anyone knows of
similar pants available from another source, I would be interested in
hearing about them.

Brian, I don't think there a cassette hub made that integrates the pawls
into the hub body that is by any measure, quiet. I've spent too much time
on YT listening to hubs and they're all chainsaw-like, the only different
is to what degree you like you saw sound.. "Special grease" only
diminish
I have a couple pairs of those Sahara pants as well and I love them. These look like they got rid of the roll up legs with snaps and replaced them with zip off legs? I can’t find the roll up leg version on their site.Robert TilleySan Diego, CASent from my iPhoneOn May 27, 2024, at 7:03 AM, Patrick
Glad to be of some help! It’s probably a bit louder sounding because it’s
echoing inside my garage and off my garage door… but I don’t find it loud or
distracting compared to others. Now, my Crust has a Hope rear hub, and that’s
even louder than a White, possibly louder than Chris King too. I’ve
Thanks for everyone’s input. Brian that video is super helpful. I would say

I was going to buy a set of SILVER hubs. Once I did some homework, I
realized that it was best to keep what I already had, the stock wheels on
my Clem. The hubs are silent running and the rims are good quality for my
needs.

Memorial Day sale !
Price drop to $3000 . This is excellent deal for all premium components . I
can also swap out onyx hub wheelset with my dynamo wheelset if that is of
interest .( pacenti brevet , son 28 ,Shimano , edulux 11 , hand built by

I'll recommend the REI "Sahara" cargo pants for occasions when you want to
ride a bike to an event where shorts are inappropriate. They're on sale
now, too:

“Something a touch louder than Deore” is how I’d describe the Silver hub.
I have one on my Sam.
They have great engagement after coasting. Not as much “slip” as other hubs.
I’ve really liked it.

Purple Haze! I think it's a really fun build. Even though my personal
aesthetic is a lot more restrained, I love Leah's bike builds. They're like
art installations.
Not to buzz-kill or anything, but I wonder how well anodizing/cerakoting
finishes hold up, especially on high-wear areas such as
I can’t seem to find the link, but a few years ago, Will posted a video of the
sound of a Silver hub.
I’d say the description of being slightly louder than a Deore XT hub is
accurate. But, nowhere near as loud as a White hub, that’s for sure.

Thanks for the followup, Armand. Your experience is likely what made my LBS
recommend me staying with the 43s on my Quills. But good to know it's
possible if I ever insist! I don't mind anyway on that bike - the 43s suit
it perfectly and are plenty comfortable. They leave room for fenders too.
