I never listen to audiobooks (or music) while I'm bike touring. The Kindle
is for actual reading during down time and in the tent.

On Monday,
Maybe not what you’re looking for. But on my Appaloosa, I prefer something
that leans more stout/puncture resistant like Schwalbe Marathon Plus or
Continental Ride Tours. I currently have 700x47 ride tours, which seem to
measure bang on 41mm at 40psi.
On a Riv with nice flexy fork, I really ca
John, How well I know what you’re saying. I grew up with an English teacher mother and a father who had an extensive library. I used to love paper books, but they are so heavy and bulky to store and one more thing to dust. So, I switched to ebooks, loved the built-in dictionary and the portability.
Can’t think of a more proper setting for an Atlantis in the wild.👌k.On Jul 8, 2024, at 5:04 PM, Josh C wrote:

Hi folks, I'm looking for ideas on fenders. Also curious what the biggest
size I can run is.
I've seen VO, Rene Herse, and Honjo. Any preferences amongst those or makes

Hello,
I currently have a 2x9 with a 26/38 crank (Silver brand) and a 11/34
cassette on my Rivendell Clem Smith Jr - H.
I want to add a third/outer chainring (maybe a 44 or 46), which can be done
by replacing the Silver bashguard with an outer chainring.
I am shopping for a replacement front

Thanks for that input. I'm aligned with Aaron's original post, only very
rarely taking a cautious ride in the dirt, and am about to purchase either
some RH Snoqualmie Pass (700x44s) or GK slicks (not planning on the plus),
and will run the tires with tubes.
Mine will go on a Clem, and I
- In that size, I would 100% choose GK slicks. In my experience, more
bombproof than RH. Setup tubeless easier, from interwebs reports (I only
run RH with tubes in my stable) and relatively cheap. I have not used the
GK plus tires and have been generally happy with the puncture
I have RH I like but feel like my GK SKs are kinda bomb proof and more
reasonably priced.

Another opinion: I use standard casing RHs set up tubeless on gravel, sand,
and pavement with no problem. I'd be confident with ELs too, except the RH
ELs seem to seep sealant thru the sidewalls. I've used even ultralighter

Hi all,
Thanks for your patience as I sort through responses. As of now, I think
it's safe to say that the *Saddlesack, 32F, R9 FD, Crankset* are sold. I'm
working down the list, so it's possible that if someone who responded early
bails, I'll be in touch, but if you haven't heard from me yet,
I have t used it on tires (bike or car), but 303 is my go-to replacement for ArmorAll. IMHO 303 is a much better product—a nice finish without the greasy residue that AA can leave. –Eric NOn Jul 8, 2024, at 3:04 PM, John Rinker wrote:Just wondering if any uses or has used 303 on bike tires. I've
@Ryan,
I'm certain that RBW headquarters has the Clems on their framesets and
completes schedule for later this year. For now, it's a waiting game to see
when exactly when.
Between now and then, it will give you time to save up more money for your
purchase.

Nice shot Nicholas. So now you've got a Sam and a Homer; Will be interested
to hear ride reports about how they compare and differ, if you so choose.

I had planned on the Clem replacing the 2 bikes I have but it seems my
budget needs to be tighter than expected. My Clem will have to keep waiting
it seems. Thank you all very much for the help!

Both of the tires you suggested in the original post I have used and loved.
I think its hard to go wrong with either. I have used Ultradynamicos and
found them to feel sluggish for some reason. I think it must be the tiny
tiny knobs or something. They just don't have a supple ride for me. I trie

I've never tried the whole audiobook thing. As an English major, I've
always been partial to physical books. Typically I'll ride somewhere nice
in order to sit down and read. But your description of how books drive you
forward on rides certainly has me interested! I've been reading
Congrats on the Homer!
RH tires are great, I've used standard and endurance casings. I'd recommend
endurance casing for tubeless. I ran a 650x48 standard casing tubeless for
awhile but went back to a tube in that one.
