Yeah, Doug. I decided to pass on this because of the unknowns (to me) about the
drivetrain were more than I wanted to dive into. Passing on it led to the
knobbie Quickbeam idea. Funny how my brain works. I often have to play with the
more complex answers before I see the simple one right infront

Doug, I have no experience with a Hunq but own a Clem. The Clem has a Hunq
fork and otherwise appears to be just as stout as a Hunq but sans diagatube and

Untrue. It's not safe to ride with cantilever brakes with "traditional"
style ^ cables and knobbies w/o fenders. Shimano created a new style of
hanger cable to fix that problem when it surfaced decades ago.

Agree that the appaloosa is not comparable, with it's smaller tire clearance.
The ability to fit a 2.5" tire, with fenders, is what sets the clem and hunq
apart.
If one of the clems fits really well, I'd have a hard time telling someone they
would should get a hunq. But don't compromise if it

As usual, nice photos. But are the tires pictured the Snoqualmie Passes?
They look narrow for 44 mm. If they are, what is the actual width?
By any chance, is the venue the trail around Rampart Reservoir?

Patrick of the Moore — good eye! Those are Barlow Pass 38 tires on there. The
rear tire was bar to the outer tread, which Compass told me is a good wear
indicator. So I put my surviving Snoqualmie on the rear (where it is snuggest)
to see how it fits. Snug, but with a wee bit of wiggle room. How

I was curious as to why a sports oriented design tends to end up with somewhat
