Hi Rex,
I have a Rambouillet. I recently installed VO Porteur Bars with the
Guidonette brakes. This set up is the most comfortable bar/brake
combination I have tried (including mustache bars, noodles, etc). It

Got it fixed. The size and shape of the hole looked like a glass puncture.
Found the tiny place in the tire where the glass peeked through and blew
back out. Patched it up and I'm rolling again. Just bad luck in Hayward.

Sounds like the headset is loose. Had a similar issue on the SimpleOne.
Mainly was a noise when pulling on the bars. Finally tightened it down and
that sound went away. Took about a quarter turn and then tighten. Now
have a different sound, but am in the process of correcting the issue.

Nice. Your rides are making me jealous. So, have to ask - how do you
describe the differences between the Quickbeam and the SimpleOne? Just
heavier tubes or something else.
For my riding style, the SimpleOne works great. But always want to hear

To me, road tubeless has most of the disadvantages of both clinchers and

service, easily available at many price points, and come in a wide range of

Indeed, it's a week to Chicago. Maybe longer, with all the Bosco madness.

sometimes a bit of 'cold setting' of the derailer cage can improve its
