This is what I keep at the ready in my seat bag and a spare for just
walking on the road in my neighborhood, a made in USA, SIMPLE sash:

The XL will wrap around large winter coats or a daypack while on your bike.
I consider it a minimalist option but easy on and easy off.
I should also mention, if you’re wanting to go tubeless with RH gum walls, and
tend to ride rougher terrain, I’ve had the best luck with the endurance casing
options that RH offers on certain tires. Those sidewalls seem plenty robust,
and I’ve had no leeching of sealant or like some other lighte
I just registered for this. Curious if anyone else here will be riding?

I inherited a box of parts from friend Doug. In that box of parts is a NIB
Specialized 1-1/8" stem with a 31.8 clamp and some sort of adjustable
rise. I'm in Ireland now but I can pull the stem when I'm back in
California over the weekend.

my only difference here is that other than the first set, I've had no
trouble at all running the ultras tubeless -- the JFFs hold just fine (the
knobbies esp are def loud, tho). RH has been a nightmare on that score.

John,
I experienced that bearing replacement problem with that Ultegra headset. I
didn’t do my homework before I purchased it. I simply bought in because of
its price. I replaced it with a simple, old school, Tange headset where I
can easily find replacement bearings:

This is really great to see everyone’s experiences with these tires here,
because I don’t recall seeing much discussion about them at all in this group.
Also surprised to hear so many people having trouble with RH tires. I’ve had no
troubles with the knobbies (I’ve run them both with tubes, and
Mike, I bought one of these Profile Aris stems last fall, as I also needed
a +/-25d stem @130mm. I used it to go lower as they are flip-able. Prices
include shipping for these below, which is hard to beat buying from a list
member.

I bought one of these when then they first dropped via kickstarter..and less than a month I had it posted on eBay. I found it to be a messy set up and never quite a stable attachment. I’ve put together so many quality front racks over the years that I figured for what it’s worth this is a quick fix
As someone who lived in a number of small row homes in Philadelphia, I know

In addition rain, snow and road slop being run through the house year round

I didn't register yet but I'll be there too. I did it last year for the
first time and it was really fun! I highly recommend it for anyone
out-of-town, as it's a great way to see the city.
What bike are you going to be on? I'll be on my mustard colored Appaloosa.

Thanks for the alert. I like that moon sash and I’m tempted to buy one for
trips to the nearby store. It’s only 1/4 mile away but I have to cross a
busy intersection and I made the unfortunate choice of black for my all
around winter coat.
I’ll try my Sam Browne first - didn’t even think of using

Wow, thanks again for all the insight and info everyone! It is truly so
helpful.
I was floating a bunch of crazy ideas to my partner last night about
storing the bike somewhere else in the house when I realized that if I'm
i'm going to get Clem or a Platy I'm just going to have to find a place
I tend to trust matrices published by WTB and Rene Herse because there's
evidence they really put some thought into it and in all likelihood have
written notes on things they've tried if not formally tested. Whereas other
sources will just have a sentence or two and it feels like a lawyer's take
Bill Walton, RIP, would have loved such a bike. The double top tube was
perfect on such a tall frame. Gave it an aesthetic appeal.

I suggest looking at the asymmetry of the IRD BBs, which AFAIK made by
Tange. For example, a Tange 107mm, 109mm, and 111mm BB hall have the same
distance from the center of the BB to the drive side, 54.5mm. Their
asymmetries vary, but all 3 will place the drive side of the crank in the

Dream machine! Waterford made, I think? Clearances? Unfortunately, I’m as
short of cash as I am long of leg, and can’t afford a lovely bike right
now, but I (and most everyone else) want to know more! And see more, if you
wouldn’t mind some close ups. It’s a rare bird…
And apologies for asking,
I'm planning on it this year.
