[RBW] Re: 36 Views of Mt Diablo (aka Grant's Mountain)

Cool project Eric! It would be great if those 36 views encompassed a 360-degree range of the mountain. On occasion, I hiked those trails 30 years ago when I lived in SF. This was before I had any real awareness that people have been living and hiking that mountain for hundreds of generations. I

I have a 26 inch Atlantis build. It's an older model and will take a maximum of 47-48mm tire, actual measurement on a 17 inch rim. I have the 2 inch Marathon Supreme and Marathon which both fit (they measure 47mm) . I would like a tire of a 47 mm actual measurement. Lighter and more supple.I

Eric and Tyler, I wish I had a screenshot to prove it, but I do remember Will stating that there would be a Sergio Green Atlantis in a newsletter many months back, perhaps around the time that the Appaloosas sold out. I tried checking the newsletter archive, but it doesn’t go back far enough.

Re: [RBW] Bike Fitting

This is a subject that drives me nuts..first and most important, if you are a normal height (5-2" to 6-4") and are within normal dimensions you do not need a custom fit ie - a 46cm to 64cm frame is going to fit. Second, there is a fit window - that is with a +-3-5mm toptube you can play with

I did a fitting for my wife when we got her the Ritchey Road Logic. (https://blog.piaw.net/2024/06/new-road-bike-for-xiaoqin.html) The reasoning is that once you cut the steerer tube on one of those bikes you can't uncut them, so the fitting was insurance against cutting it wrong. She went from

My experience only & 50 years of cycling later.., I answer “No” to both questions. Was I ever professionally fitted? Yes. Did it make a difference? No. Does the fit transfer to other bikes? Maybe. I wanted to say “No” but I realize it might for others. When my bikes were all road bikes - then yes.
