David, sorry to hear about your situation. I hope you can continue to ride

I’ll give you my two cents. I ride a previous generation 62cm 2TT Appaloosa
set up with Billie bars and a 64cm Black Mountain Cycles monstercross bike
with drop bars. I ride pavement, gravel and dirt roads which can be steep
and rutted, but mostly in good shape. I really like the Appaloosa as an
The bolt is probably 304 stainless-steel, which is an austenitic
stainless-steel and not magnetic. Ace hardware stores usually have a good
selection of metric hardware. Note that they do not have 7mm threaded bolts
(thread size, not Allen key size) which is what two bolt Nittos usually
use, not
Laing, the hex key size is 6, so that means I need a 7 mm bolt, then? And did I read correctly that hardware stores don’t carry the 7? Why???The post is certainly not perfect. I wish I could slam it, but I can’t because it widens at the top. It will just barely work for me, and as I get older over
What a beautiful bike. I’ve heard nothing but good things about the Saluki.

The hex size and bolt size are not necessarily related. I would say that it
is more likely to be an 8 than a 7. You need to take the your bolt in and
have it matched for thread diameter, thread pitch (the number of threads
for a specified length), and threaded length, but in a magnetic materia
I'm doing exactly that.
While I originally purchased my 2018 Appaloosa as a rough-stuff touring
bike, it's really become my primary road bike (without racks) as well as my
touring bike (with racks). I have it set up as a standard road bike with

I bought an Appaloosa when I was looking for a loaded touring bike for

enjoying the awesome views. As it happens, my very first long ride on it

I think you're better off with a Sam. I love that it can ride any terrain a
"gravel bike" can but it does so while feeling like a road bike and not
some sort of cross breed.

I noticed in a few Rivendell employee and Grant's bikes the brass washer. I
know in the past Grant has mentioned replacing that plastic washer with a
solid brass one, but that the cost was prohibitive. I figured the ones
showing on their bikes were prototypes or fabricated solid ones. I have the

My orange Quickbeam came set up as a "2 speed" with 32-40-chainguard
chainrings on a 74/110 triple (still has those) plus an 18t freewheel.
I immediately made it a "3 speed" with a 17/19 Dos Eno freewheel. The chain
is too slack for the 32/17 to work, so only 3 options: 40/17 (99% of my
riding),
Thank you Eric. I enjoy your YouTube videos BTW.

Thank you all for the replies. I'll give those washers a try. I may look at
a few local places for them before ordering. It'll give me a reason to ride
around anyway.

Hi Kim,
I've squeezed in a Schwalbe G-One Speed (no knobs) at 27.5x2.35 which
measures out to 60mm on the stock rims. There's about 5mm of clearance on
each side. The tires have to be deflated to clear the brake pads when
removing the wheel.
