Great pic, Keith. I love how Lucy's using the bullmoose as a toe rest. Tony, I'm 5'7"-- on a tall day. I've had no problems seeing over my 3.5 yo. She's now on a Yepp Maxi (rear seat), as she's over the weight limit of the front. Here's my kid shot w/me, standing, which is not much lower than w

Thanks Keith and Shoji! Another quick and satisfying answer. On Fri, Mar 25, 2016, 08:25 Shoji Takahashi wrote: > Great pic, Keith. I love how Lucy's using the bullmoose as a toe rest. > > > Tony, > I'm 5'7"-- on a tall day. I've had no problems seeing over my 3.5 yo. > She's now on a Yepp Maxi

Tony, So Lucy, my wife and myself took a ride down to the tidal basin this morning the see the cherry blossoms. My wife had Lucy on her Cheviot and had no problems seeing over her. Like I said previously, her Cheviot is a 50cm frame. Me wife is about 5'3" tall and didn't have any complaints

It's also all about the handlebars. I had some flat-ish bars (Jitensha) and although I could easily see over the kiddo, my chin was basically resting on her helmet because I was too far leaned over (5'7", 48cm Hunq). I put on some Albatrossbars and that gave me the clearance I needed, but now she's

Re: [RBW] Rivs on the Great Divide Route?

Last year was an exceptionally dry year, and a nasty fire season was the result. This year's snowpack around the Flathead (and probably extending north) is somewhere around 100% of average. By July you should be fine, but this is something to keep in mind if making comparisons to last year's co

iamkeith - I think its just the price and 'lock in' that are the big drawbacks. Same reason a lot of people here choose friction bar end shifters rather than a brifter set up. For simplicity sake its nice to be able to build a bike out of a parts bin or swap out different components without hav

Damn it! I couldn't jump on the pre-sale partly because of cash flow at the time, but also partly because I didn't know if my recently-purchased Clem was going to work out. Now all these months later, I STILL don't know if my Clem is going to work out, because it's still snowing every stink

I will consider any offers. Since my last post, I have removed the front and rear racks from the Clem. In doing so, paint chipped off as I removed the screws & rack. See in pics. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6Wb8pkSIAX6SG1wbnJTdzhOYVE https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6Wb8pkSIAX6d2V5Rj

I don't ever want to go back to multiple chainrings and although I would still prefer a Rohloff, this 50t system doesn't look too bad. On Thursday, March 24, 2016 at 1:47:56 PM UTC-5, Jim M. wrote: > > It's not April Fool's day, so it must be real: > > http://www.pinkbike.com/news/oneup-shark-

[RBW] Re: 50 t rear cog -- Never walk another hill

I just decided to convert my Jones Plus to 1X10 after a year of frustration trying to make a double chainring setup work (constant chainsuck/chaindrop). On my 3" tire setup I will have a gear range of 22.8 - 87 gear inches, whereas my earlier setup (39/26 chainrings and 11-34 cassette) gave a

Forgot to mention, this is the cassette I'll be using, the new Sunrace 11-42 10-speed cassette. They sold out seemingly everywhere in 2 weeks according to my LBS, out of stock until late May. On Friday, March 25, 2016 at 8:36:46 PM UTC-7, Mike Shaljian wrote

Thanks again for the shared pictures and experiences, after the preponderance of info provided here my wife seems willing to 'give it a try'... :) It'll be a while though we're expecting our first child mid-June which I think puts Yepp mini eligibility somewhere in the winter-ish timeframe. -

Mike, I have been using a Surly OD (offset double) crank on my Jones Plus with a Deore front derailer. It has been completely flawless. Same set up same bike for a friend, same flawless result. Maybe we can save your current setup? PM me if you would like. Joe in GJT -- You received this mess

[RBW] Re: 50 t rear cog -- Never walk another hill

Yep, I've also got the OD crank. I'm glad to hear you've gotten it to work, but my LBS has not been able to tame it. Aside from that, I really do hate having to use an FD on the trail and I get the sense that the simplified shifting will push me to improve my climbing ability instead of giving u
