Before our weekly family ride I opened my handlebar bag to put my 1
year old son's rain poncho inside, and found this:

Hear, hear, that is why my JB Greens have been replaced with 42mm

doesn't just allow dirt road exploration, but single track

Does anyone have a 100mm Dirt Drop stem that they are no longer using? Can
be Nitto, Specialized, or something similar (I know there were a couple of
clones out there). 25.4mm clamp. Black would be perfect, won't complain if
it's not.
Thanks,
Pete

Nice, Eric. Rather Rivish color, I think. I love the fork crown and lock.
Hope you can get a key made. Painted fenders are also very cool. Enjoy
your new bike! Steve

quicker) but wonder if I should stick to the 50mm Supremes instead...

Nice post Jim, Looks like a great ride with the dirt sections. I normally
stay away from Charity rides and such due to the unknown rider skills issue
but this one is on my list for someday. I find it very fascinating that
they had a dirt section on a ride like this. It's like preferred ridding
The Duremes and Supremes are really the same tire with slightly different
tread.
Differences ? Sure ... the 50mm will be a bit cushier over bumps with the
extra volume of air it can hold. A bit heavier. Like or dislike depends on
the rider.
Concerns ? No . Everything's apples and orange
There have been recent threads here about puncture proofing tires. I
want to warn y'all about Mr Tuffys. Listen and heed:
My new Ken Rogers felt disappointingly slow; I, saddened, put that
down to the drag of a third wheel -- until, yesterday, quads buring
from pushing the 71" against a slight win
I notice that it seems to have a front fork lock? Else, what is that
projection on the left side of the headtube?
It looks very like a Sport -- what makes the bike a Superbe? Is the

I'd say no more than 10% of the Medio riders. This is based on the few minutes

Gran (100 mile) riders probably did Coleman Valley, although they had the

Glad to hear you were out there too! Too bad we didn't run into each other, but

I'm close to your total payload and I use 38-622 $15 tires from Amazon on my
Dyad rims (36 in front, 40 in back) on screened trails and rough roads.
Certainly no concerns.
Someday I'm gonna try Marathon Supremes to see if they're an upgrade I'd value.
But frankly I find my current tires okay.
Agree completely. And note that having a double kickstand can make maintenance
more straightforward. I can't spin pedals past the down kickstand. But I can
remove either wheel, as long as the fork is restrained from flopping.
With front wheel in place, I use the PDW leather/velcro pant-leg restr

I'd say you got quite a deal to have purchased both the His n' Hers of

It was a Golden Tree Snake (we live in Thailand). Just found out that
it belongs to the flying snake genus (Chrysopelea):

That explains how it got into the handlebar bag. No spoke climbing
needed. :)
