Thanks Grant! The weather that day was in the hundreds but we left while the sun was setting so that helped. The ride was short and full of rolling hills. Regarding my kit, I ran out of film so I grabbed my Ricoh GRD (digital) on my way out the door. The GRD a fixed lens 2.4 point and shoot bas

[RBW] Widest tires on green Quickbeam?

RBWers - I have 35mm tires on my green QB that need replacing. I'm thinking about ditching the fenders and going AWAP. Anyone know whether 40mm will fit? It certainly looks like I have at least 5mm to spare. Thanks AJ --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message

Add another to the list that's impressed with the photos. Gives me something to shoot for (so to speak). Also have a GRD. Your photos have inspired me to start thinking more about what that camera can do. Looks like it was a fun ride. Eric Platt St. Paul, MN On Aug 4, 10:02�am, Beardpapa wr

Nice. Never expected that Big Apples would fit. Does anyone know if the clearances changed between the green and the orange models? On Tue, Aug 4, 2009 at 5:39 PM, Jim Thill - Hiawatha Cyclery < thill@gmail.com> wrote: > > I know 40 mm Marathon Supremes fit on the orange QBs with fenders. > >

[RBW] Re: Widest tires on green Quickbeam?

For the big goatheads around here you need something stronger than a flimsy wire loop thorn catcher. I also have to admit that when I get out of the saddle for a climb, the rear tire rubs a little bit. Jim M On Aug 4, 3:08 pm, Eric Norris wrote: > And as an added benefit, the fork crown acts a

[RBW] Re: Widest tires on green Quickbeam?

I use a pair of wtb mutanoraptors, 44c, on mine. Love it. Wouldn't want to go any wider, but no rubbing. I make sure to bring a spoke wrench, just in case. I think sometimes about tweaking my chainstays to get a few more millimeters, the clearance everywhere else is ample and I'd like to run a larg

[RBW] Re: Widest tires on green Quickbeam?

I just switched from 35mm paselas (no tour guard) to 28mm grand bois, because I needed a replacement tire immediately and still had these hanging on the wall from my road bike. So far I am very much liking the 28mm. They seem to make the bicycle turn quicker (not in a bad way) and steering feels a

Wow - I knew those places around Austin 40 years ago! I recognize those old trees in Emma Long Park, but the lights are new to me. And no, you don't need much to camp in TX in the summer. One S240, long before the S24O as we know it, I slept up the little canyon/intermittent seasonal creek uphill
