for me it was worth $15 and giving
up the idea of "no tools, all the time" as concerns mounting tires. Not
all rim/tire combinations are created equal.
Sorry for the rant -- if you're one who can mount any tire without
tools, that's great! I envy you!

That was the old

change).
Couldn't track anything down on the internet about the stem, it was

There are so many tents out there -- get the heavier 2 person one you
think you'll be happier with and see how it works. If you find it's
too heavy (or too bulky) get rid of it and try something else. That's
my a
d to.
Thanks for the photos and write up.

the Trek 500 series is quite likely more fender-space challenged than
