Camp stove and tea for a short winter ride - brilliant! Whoever had

Reminds me of the time we took a camp stove and hot chocolate to the

cozy.

Ya know - knarly - the Norwegian word for boat-that-digs-a-big-hole
in the water and sails into it.
when used in cycling it would be knarly if it were necessary to hold
the bike

their blog, they announced they are closing shop. Special thanks for
support went to Rivendell.

Howdy folks.
I have a monstercross-ish bike that came with Open Pro rims and XT hubs.
While I know plenty of fat tires have been mounted and ridden on narrow
rims, I would really prefer something wider (CR18, Delgado cross, Dyad,
Synergy, something along those lines). I am pretty sure my wheels a

The bikes are set up differently enough that we can't say which tire
we prefer (We haven't tried swapping wheels). Both seem to do quite
well on dirt.

Sad to see them go. The photo archive should be preserved for
posterity for sure, if Ren is ever not able to keep it up.
This also brings up another interesting thing- Ren may be a "LBS" for
some, but they are an Internet vendor to me, being several thousand
miles away. My local shops are under mor

You are right, and if cash were free-er just now that is what I'd do.

I also share your pain. I've replaced every bike I owned (5 for the

At least they're going out on their terms and it sounds like a
graceful exit. Best of luck in their new ventures!

Cycling in Chiang Mai is indeed excellent. Great secondary road
network with little traffic (and the occasional elephant crossing
warning sign), beautiful countryside with small farms and rainforest,
extensive still partly unpaved tertiary road network, and great single
track on the 5500 foot mount
Hi Doug,
if you don't find any takers, just buy some Synergies, tape them to
your Open Pros with the spoke holes aligned, and then move the spokes
over one by one. The ERDs are only a mm apart and this works
flawlessly. Did it myself last year, no problems.
