Brady,
First off, welcome to the neighborhood. I hope you and yours will like
living here.
I suppose my experience since moving here a couple years ago is similar to
that of Jay, Glen and Robert in that I rarely have trouble with goatheads
in the Wasatch bench/front/up-on-the-hill areas and mo
bottom brackets
have a pretty abysmal reputation for durability it seems, matching my
experience.
I know Origin8 makes a range of square-taper cranks in shorter lengths, but I
have no experience with them myself.

Niobium is element 41, a transition metal. It was previously called
columbium, but the name change was some time ago.

Valves can also leak if the removable valve core is not screwed in tightly
enough. Cores are often just slightly loose on new tubes. If your new tube
doesn't have a removable core, then that's not the problem, but you know that.

Neither the Clem-L, nor the Clem-H isn't a Clementine. Clem is just as
good a hypocorism for Clementine as it is for Clement.

Nice ride report. Thanks for sharing it. I haven't made it that far south

Andy, there are plenty of goatheads strewn among the lovely deserts and
mountains of Utah. The most insidious patch of them surrounds my bike
shed.
