Hi Oliver, You may have heard enough already, but I thought I'd throw my 2 cents in: I've had 4 different models of RH tires mounted solely on Velocity Cliffhanger rims (700c and 650B with an IW of 25mm), and all have measured exactly as the label on their sidewalls indicate. Cliffhangers ar

Hello all, Weird that this is my first time ever responding or posting anything to this group in 15 years, but I thought it might be helpful to drop this here: https://waterfordbikes.com/w/support/serial-numbers/ The letter corresponds to the month of the year (skipping 'I'), so this beautiful

This... https://theradavist.com/2018/11/philly-bike-expo-2018-crust-noreaster-with-microshift-12-speed-eagle/#18 ... is, to me, one of the most beautiful bicycles I've seen in a long time. There you see the bent stay. Fairly certain these are the Flat 65s. The Antelope Hill is 55-622. Not sur

Hi Kurt, I'm looking to do just the same. I've had great success running 60-622 Big Apples mounted on Dyads, with SKS 65s, on my Bombadil as a commuter set up (for the jungles of Oakland and San Francisco). But I am now running 60-622 G-Ones on the wider Cliffhangers (tubeless! Uh oh...), and

I'm with Tim on the Schwalbe Super Moto. I ran the 60-622 BAs for awhile, then 50-622 Supremes to fit the fenders I have. When the fenders came off and I went back to the BAs, they felt so 'clod-hoppy' that I splurged on the the 60-622 Super Moto (not 'X'). They feel so supple, sprightly, and

I had placed an order for one of the last batch of Quickbeam (silver), and switched it up after I test road one of the prototype Bombadils over at HQ. This is what I ended up with after I built it up the first time: https://www.flickr.com/photos/beardedpeter/3317687950/in/dateposted-public/ It

David, I have an earlier version of this: http://www.lightandmotion.com/choose-your-light/vis-180/vis-180-brown-shugga It is fantastic. It can either be 'on' (steady on, no flash), or 'pulse' which does not flash, but rather 'glows' on and off. It comes with the standard seat post/tube strap-mou

So sad he is gone... so glad he was here. What an inspiration, a beacon of how to live freely, a creative soul. All of his bikes are works of art. He will be missed by multitudes, but I feel he will touch the hearts of even more. On Friday, May 30, 2014 3:51:37 PM UTC-7, Evan Baird wrote: >

Whoops... of course the fork mounted stop wouldn't work with racers... duh. But I still advocate using a 1" mounted to your steerer within your headset stack, if there's room. -P. On Friday, May 30, 2014 2:14:35 PM UTC-7, Father of Sam wrote: > Here's a vote for

Here's a vote for the fork-crown mounted Tektro cable housing stop. Mine's with a Nitto mini front rack. Works like a dream. The 7/8", as already confirmed, mounts directly to the stem (quill or bullmoose), the 1" around the steerer of which that quill stem or bullmoose slides into, within t

Your bike looks fantastic. Nice fender-line up there, and nice to know the 60 Berthouds will work with the 60-622 BAs on the Dyad... on a Bomba. Thanks for posting. On Thursday, August 30, 2012 3:18:14 AM UTC-7, Tom Harrop wrote: > > It works! The tyres measure about 55 mm on my Velocity Dyads
