I'll be building up one of the new Susies (in green) soon and I'm *debating
my thumb-shifter options*. Do you have some advice?
I'll be setting up
- 9-speed Shimano RD (RD-M952)
- Triple Shimano FD (FD-M953) on a Silver Wide-low double
- Inside-mount thumb shifters on Sim Works (Nitto)
Thanks Jim! I'll have to ask around to see if I can try some. Maybe I
should switch my Microshift 9-speed shifter to friction to test the waters
in the mean time.
Glen, I used to use rapid fire, but really like how compact and simple
thumb shifters are. When my 11-speed commuter ghost shifts,
Maybe it is just a white balance issue. They just look so starkly
different.

Thanks Tio Ryan.
Of note, my green Susie just shipped. Exciting.

Good catch. Not a lot of other sources for photos yet, but this Instagram
post seems to have the ones from Riv's site.

You might want to compare the stack and reach of your bikes with the Susie,
but you'll need to be careful. If you've added a lot of headset spacers (or
a long quill stem) to your bikes to get them upright, that'll effectively
increase their stack and decrease their reach (because of the angle of
My 64cm Homer frameset is being delivered tomorrow and I wonder if you all
can suggest some tires.
I'm looking for
- About 40mm width
- Let's go with between 35 and 45 mm
- For 97% pavement
- Not always great pavement
- Won't explode if I rode on some hardpacked dirt
Thanks everyone! Seems like I'll probably go Gravelking Slick non-plus. The
price is nicer, too.
I'll read up on Cavas, though. Thanks David and Johnny.
Patrick, I haven't used ultra-light Rene Herse, but my standard-casing

Shopping for tires is exhausting. I said I'd decided, but I lied. 🙃

Very cool. I wish the images were larger. I'd love to see some detail. I
love the double horizontal top tube. My 64's bottom one is curved. I'm
curious. What's the top-tube length? (I'm sure it's too long for me. I have
a 99 cm PBH but I'm two inches shorter than you–all legs.)
Thanks,
