Keep up the good work! Really good to see clips from Korea. I lived there

This video is worth a watch as well. I’m glad to see cycling culture

I'm watching TPUs, RH TPUs in particular, for possible use if they find a

Hi Leah -
I would generally agree with what Ted said. Riding position and fit are
very important. But I don't think that's the only criteria I would use. I
have ten bikes. Five are Rivs. I have a Custom, Quickbeam, Roadeo, Ram and
Hubbuhubbuh. I find that geometry is important in my riding. Som
I received three of the Rene Herse 584x45-68mm variant in the mail this
morning, and installed two on my custom Falconer without issue. The third
will serve as a spare. They measured 56g each and the butyl tubes I
removed weighed 358g combined, so that's over a half-pound of weight
reduction.
Bump.
I'd also part it out. Frame/fork/headset/seat post/front rack/stem $1000.

Did you pay attention to the instructions on the box? Particularly with
respect to their warning that you want to pump it up slowly so the material
has a chance to stretch? I read that as a "no compressors" warning. I
always use my floor pump anyway,

In the site instructions it says 10psi at a time. On the box it says 20.
I was nowhere near 10psi when they failed.

Maybe your box reads differently than mine. I will quote from the second

can rip"
That is the sentence I paraphrased as "don't pump it up fast, pump it up
