I organize the local Coffee Outside rides here in my town, so it gives me a
great opportunity to try different methods of preparing coffee after riding
somewhere on my bike to enjoy it with friends. My current favorite method
is brewing a strong, concentrated batch with my Aeropress, and dilutin
My current "sweet spot" tire on my 26" Atlantis is the RH Naches Pass 26 x
1.8 - endurance casing. Mounted on Velocity Atlas rims (tubed), they
measure between 41-42mm, so way less than the stated 1.8"
Like I mentioned earlier, I have run the 26 x 2.3 Humptulips (standard
casing) on the same bik

Agreed, Keith. I use the bike mostly on road, but my 2016 46cm Appaloosa
has Surly Extra Terrestrial 26 x 46mm aka 1.95" and I really like that
tire and bike combo. The bike came to me as a complete, with Kenda 1.75"
and I really disliked those tires.

Oops, 46mm is 1.8", somehow I thought it was 1.95. Still a nice tire

Brian I’m always interested in learning more about the pedigree of these bikes and the ways in which those of us who ride them influence one another. I’m intrigued by the custom bag you’ve snuck in behind the seatpost — as I recall it was Andy at Lord’s Luggage who made it for you. For the moment I
When I get home after a muddy ride I do… nothing. I figure the worst of it will wash off in the next downpour. GP has talked about taking inspiration from steel bikes that see decades of hard use in Africa and Asia, so I reckon my Gus can handle a little dirt. I’ll lube the chain before I take it o

Typically, a half liter of pour over in the morning, favoring medium to

Currently it's Tanzanian Peaberry. Brewed either in the Moccamaster or the

Lots of local roasters in NY and a few places in Manhattan that stock fresh

Never touch the stuff. Don’t drink beer either. Both are just horrible and
bitter to me. Read once years ago that some people have extra bitter
sensors on their tongue. I guess it is another part of the human experience
that has just passed me by.

As with bicycles, I will gladly use almost anything. I will drink the worst
rot-gut black coffee with a smile on my face, but I do appreciate a really
good cup.

I make pour-over at home, the aeropress only gets used for camping or
coffee outside. Always black, and for beans I tend to like the fruity
stuff so naturally gravitate to Ethiopian naturals, but there's a lot of
fun stuff out there! I enjoy trying new offerings from the most respected

I too like to tinker with my coffee setup, especially when I've got more
time on weekends. I've got a Baratza Encore to grind whole beans that I
usually put in a French press or AeroPress. My old electric kettle just
died so I got a new adjustable temperature gooseneck, and I'm thinking
that's
In terms of beans, I favor funk-forward natural process beans. I use a
1Zpresso Q2 hand grinder and V60 with Cafec Abacca filters for my preferred
setup. I also have a Kalita Wave 185 flat bottom dripper and a 2010 era
Aeropress as alternates. Lately, I’ve been hooked on co-ferments and

I enjoy coffee black, and in large quantities. At home it’s pourover, when I’m traveling heavy it’s an Aeropress, when I’m traveling light (bikepacking) it’s instant. There comes a point when it’s just about getting something hot and caffeinated on board (also, being on the trail has a way of trans
@ Keith, which Silver crankset weighs 1lb 11.5oz? (e.g., 42x28, 38x24,

Jay - yes, Andy made that custom bag for me after also making a prototype. The
2nd version got the design nailed down. He probably still has the templates for
it, because we anticipated other Riv owners might want these bags for their
