Phenomenal tires: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclotourist/8480891236/in/set-72157632781100961 I love them on pavement, and I love them on dirt. I've been riding them since February 13, and since I put them on, I've been neglecting my bikes that have Jack Browns, my previous favorite tires. I

Re: [RBW] are there any true 700x40 plush, high tpi tires?

Yeah, I'm surprised one doesn't exist yet. I guess Rivendell finds all those good things in the Marathon Supreme in 700x40, but I still think a Jack Brown Green in 700x40 would be the LeBron James of tires. Sent from my iPhone On Mar 23, 2013, at 9:44 AM, cyclotourist wrote: > It's pretty dar

[RBW] Was Planning on Riding Some Dirt In Marin Wednesday - San Francisco ride idea

My brother and I have been talking Bolinas Ridge or perhaps some Mount Tam fire roads heading generally north via dirt and then riding Drake to get back south this Wednesday. Anyone interested in coming or want to offer improved route ideas? I'll be riding 700x55's. -Jim W. -- You received

Re: [RBW] Re: Question 27" wheel conversion to 700c wheels and maybe to 650b

Is it safe to say the following in general: On an older 27" road frame, switching to 700C on a frame with Sidepull brakes is hassle-free, but on a frame with cantilever brakes, there will often be problems with pad alignment. Sent from my iPhone On Mar 26, 2013, at 10:28 AM, Christopher Miller

There was a time where, at that frame size, you'd know the A/R by its 26" wheels. On not-large ones, 26" wheels were a defining characteristic. Sent from my iPhone On Mar 26, 2013, at 7:06 PM, Joe Bernard wrote: > Are we sure it's an A/R? The 700c LongLow came with cantis, right? > > > On T

That is such a great deal. Seems to be the paint characteristic of the higher end models and under $1000. Anyone who fits this frame and who needs one couldn't find a better price for a do-all Rivendell. It's just one tiny notch below Atlantis in terms of allrounderness.-Original Message- F
