[RBW] Re: Saris Freedom and Clem 64

I’ve gotten my 64 to fit in an older version of that rack - you can make it work, but the tires won’t quite fit down in the tray. It’s secure, if not confidence-inspiring. I recently upgraded to a 1up and it’s dreamy - plenty of space for all that wonderful wheelbase! On Wednesday, August 16,

[RBW] Re: 26” MTB Tire Advice

My go-to 26 MTB tires in order of aggressiveness: Hans Dampf Nobby Nic Mezcal HD/NN is about perfect for year round singletrack in East Tennessee. NN/Mezcal would be great for ~50% singletrack. Regardless, it rarely makes sense to have the same tire F/R - a few extra grams on a good front tire

Re: [RBW] Re: 26” MTB Tire Advice

Good call - Ikon 2.2 is a goodie. Seems to last forever and was easier to mount tubeless than Schwalbes. I’d personally be sketched out with one on the front, but loved it as a rear tire in the summer.On Aug 25, 2023, at 11:03 PM, Hoch in ut wrote:A good all-around tire is the Maxxis Ikon in 26 x

This may be a job for the new Acera M-3020 RD! Russ (previously mentioned) has a great video where he tries it on a number of different setups and it seems to run 42T with aplomb. On Sunday, August 27, 2023 at 3:15:50 PM UTC-4 krhe...@gmail.com wrote: > [image: greg_L_rig - 51 cog mullet from

[RBW] Re: Stuck shifter cable head

Cables for Campagnolo shifters have a slightly smaller head than those for Shimano/SRAM, by about 0.1-0.2mm. If you install a Shimano/SRAM cable in a Campagnolo shifter, you'll have similar problems trying to extract it when it needs replacing. Nick Payne -- You received this message be

Re: [RBW] Re: Sizing Upon a Clem?

finitely ride the 59 & if I did I could use a shorter stem that would be inserted quite a bit more. In addition, that would put me on a 700c bike vs. a 27.5” one. I am very happy with what I have. Hope that helps.Sent from my iPhoneOn Sep 27, 2023, at 2:12 PM, Nick Shoemaker <fiddl...@gmail.c

[RBW] What shoes does your Riv wear?

I'm running Soma Supple Vitesse EX in the 700 x 42 on my Sam Hillborne and like them a lot. I think 380 g's for that size tire is not bad and the price is good. I just saw on the Soma site they are no longer making that size. Here's their verbiage.(Sizes: 28c to 42c 23c (no longer made) I haven
