This sounds exactly like what I'm experiencing, both in the wheel flop and
the sound volume when the tires are not going in a straight line.
Thanks for sharing. Knowing this may be the case makes it much easier to
stick with the tires long enough for the issue to resolve itself.
On Saturday,
Leah,
I don't have an irreplaceable bike but I can empathize with this conundrum.
You enjoy the Platy more than the Clem and I imagine would love to show the
family its awesomeness. My bikes have never been custom or one of a kind
but like the Marine's rifle..." This is my rifle (bicycle). There
Hello everyone,
I have a Samsung Galaxy note which is a rather large phone. I am looking

I think your biggest risk is leaving it on the rack overnight. U locks are
easy to break. Take the bikes into the room, hassle though it may be. At
least then you can admire them!
My Bike Friday easily fits into my trunk, so I don't have these kinds of
worries :)

Keep your vacation simple.

don't worry about summer snow storms. What most people don't realize is

You're invited for a Sacramento S24O campout at Beale's Point Campground on

I'll be traveling with young children on a cargo bike. We'll be cruising at
9-12 mph and stopping regularly for snacks, playgrounds and swimming in the
American River and Lake Natoma.

Chris, pump the tires up to max recommend psi…i bet the weld steer goes

I have Antelope Hills with the light casing on my Appaloosa, and haven't
noticed any steering oddities/problems. I run them at 25psi front 35psi

the pressure a bit - say 55psi.

Thats a pretty fat tire for a Dyad. I would submit that your usage case is

I assume you aren't running tubeless?
That narrow of a rim usually calls for higher tire pressure to prevent tire
from rolling off.

Leah,
I know how much you love that bike. If you think you'll pine for it the
many weeks you'll be with your family, if not having it will lessen your
enjoyment too much, then bring it. If you think the Clem will keep you

Yes, I am running with tubes and the Dyad is at the lower end of RH's
recommended rim width, but I've seen Jan state several times that rim width
doesn't matter with supple tires, so I wasn't concerned about it. The
narrower rim may require a higher pressure, like you and others have
suggested

Okay, I braved the heat and HUMIDITY and aired the front to 50 psi and the
back to a little higher than that and the problem is solved. The tire
handles normally and I only hear the loud "tacky" rubber sound in a pretty

I am having mine built up by Analogue Cycles. The only outstanding parts

Hey all,
After installing the rack today I realized that I am limited on width (and
height to a certain extent) on what I would like to comfortably install. I

I've used them to switch between 650b and 26" wheels on the same bike -
performance is grand either way.(The rim widths on my 650bs differ from
