I'm running the 700C x 44 Snoqualmie Pass Endurance on my 62 cm Hunqapillar
now. Earlier I had a set of 38 mm Barlow Pass with the ultralight casing. I
also have a set of 50 mm Schwalbe Marathon for it. And I have used one type
and size of tire up front and a different in the back. I even had an
I have a 62 cm green Hunq that I bought from Riv in 2014. I believe I was
told the frame came from Waterford at that time. Ordered in April 2014 and
delivered July 10. I have Nitto Noodles on and use the bike as much as
possible. It's a pleasant ride, though I may change the Noodles out to
some
Hi Kevin,
I'm also new to the group. I'm partly based in Down East Maine and partly
in Texas. I got my Hunqapillar on July 11 this year and have been enjoying
it around Washington and Hancock counties in Maine since then. One of the
first things I did was to ride in the 100 mile version of the
Are you sure you need a cue sheet? Your smart phone may give you a map
function with your position. In most cases it should be enough to check
that when you are in doubt about where to go next, or you know you are so
lost and out of time or acceptable weather that a return route must be

Well above my saddle height. I can use all positions on my Noodle bars with
comfort, and find myself being down in the drops on every downhill and
often on the flats. I used to ride a "normal" road bike and hardly ever
used the drops for more than a minute at a time. This is much better.

I have found that shoes with a flat rubber sole of the amber/brown type,
like boat shoes, give good contact on the Grip King pedals. Running shoes
not so much, and especially not in wet weather. My Timberland hiking boots,
a totally different sole from the boat shoes, have also proven to stick
I have had all the the types of shifters mentioned up to now, and more,
over the almost 50 years I have been riding bikes. Truth be told, I like
them all when they work well. I think that is the core here; what works
well for you right now on the chosen bike? DT shifters worked very well for
me
Probably due to high production volumes. All drivers must have a reflective
vest within reach inside the vehicle in the Nordic countries by law. Most
hang it over the seat back. It has to be worn if the driver needs to step
out along the road. Since these are countries with a tradition of detail

I believe I have read/skimmed all the comments by now and as a European who
has emigrated to the U.S. what strikes me as odd is the feeling I get that
riding a bike is something special. Something you need a club for, extra
things to buy, something a bit exotic. I believe the core of what Grant
If we want a discussion about the safety of wearing a bicycle helmet this
may be a starting point; https://bicyclesafe.com/helmets.html
The main point the author makes is that bike handling skills and behavior
in traffic are much more important for rider safety than wearing a helmet.

Here in Texas they put sensors in the street at traffic lights. A steel
bike gets you a green light. Carbon fiber lets you stand there. Enjoy what
you have!

I think we should remember the positive. I have received lots of 'cool
bike' type of comments to my Hunqapillar. I also teach a safety course
called Group Riding Skills. The Hunqapillar is in front of the room as the
demonstration bike and I use it for the outside part to teach the riders

I'm 6' 2" and bought a 62 cm Hunqapillar last year when my weight was at
241. I have 50 mm tires. It doesn't feel heavy at all and fits me great. I
have 48 cm Noodles handlebars and Grip King pedals. I talked with Jared
when I put the order in and he didn't want to sell me the Sam Hillborne I

36 spokes on my Hunqapillar. There never was a question about that. I have a
history of breaking spokes on road bikes, especially at the moment I decide to
stand up while climbing a hill.

Hi,
I use the extra light 38 mm on my Hunqapillar. I could use the 42 mm, but
they came on sale after I bought the ones I have. Which means I have used
them for about 10 months now and had no flats at all. I weigh above 110
kilos or 245 pounds and I ride on both gravel roads and asphalt. I have
HI,
my 62 cm Hunqapillar has 48 cm Noodles on. I have been riding with them
since I bought the bike in 2014. If you put the handlebars high enough you
will find you can ride pretty upright (depending on your stem length) and
you should be able to be comfortable in the 15 cm lower drops too. The
I used to carry both my sons on child seats and I noticed that one of my
bikes back in Norway was less happy with the heavy weight right behind my
heavy body than others. That bike had a frame and fork close to my present
62 cm Hunqapillar so I am inclined to advise you to go for a longer chain
