I would say yes, geography is built into bike design. There's a reason Surly/Salsa specializes in fat bikes! Cheers, David "it isn't a contest. Just enjoy the ride." - Seth Vidal On Sun, May 25, 2014 at 3:16 PM, Addison Wilhite wrote: > Regarding tire size, what probably does not come throu

Re: [RBW] Re: Sub 24 Bike Camp Trip

Addison, I imagine we are talking optimal here. I have ridden my Hilsen with 41~42 mm Fatty Rumpkin's over some pretty harsh jeep roads ( with 25 lb loads) and though not ideal they served me well with no real undo loss of control. Would a modern MTB with 2.25 mm + tires and ridiculous amounts of

That AllRounder frame is a "monster." I've had 2.2s on it. These beefy tires would have made my trip a little cushier...and looks pretty cool as well. :) http://reno-rambler.blogspot.com/search?q=monster Addison Wilhite, M.A. Academy of Arts, Careers and Technology

Re: [RBW] Re: Sub 24 Bike Camp Trip

Makes perfect sense to me, Addison. Now I have the option of a 38 mm under biking experience, I really appreciate it and the challenge it offers for fast, unlaiden rides. IT is fun to pick a line and thread my way as I need to through the more technical sections. But for trips where I need to ca

Addison, Thanks for the share of a beautiful bike over night camp in beautiful country. I'm with Deacon, why do you need wider tires? I'm planning on running 1.95" and I figure those to be plenty wide. ~Hugh On Sunday, May 25, 2014 7:47:28 AM UTC-7, Addison wrote: > > Did a little jaunt out to

Fantastic! How wonderful to have your wife join you too. What makes you say you needed wider tires? With abandon, Patrick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, sen
