Can anyone tell me a reason not to throw a 34 tooth cassette on my road bike
with a 53-39 tooth double? Is it impossible to use a road derailleur on that
setup, even if I flip, or replace entirely, the b-screw? I have an xt
derailleur on my city bike that i could just as well move over, but i'd
rat
i rode it several years ago with a crosscheck on 38mm supremes, you'd be ok
with less. very fun, not too challenging. a wonderful day spent in pleasant
surroundings.

any have updated news about when we'll start seeing the first bikes come
back from paint?
i don't want to bug riv about it, but the anticipation, and there's an s24o
in the cards for the weekend. I'd love to build that bike and take it
along...

i took the hunqapillar out for a ride yesterday, and aside from coming down
with some sort of flu out in the middle of briones, all was great. The 2.35"
big apples roll over most anything, it was a bit crazy to find myself
picking out the most difficult line for a change. quite a bit different than
anyone planning or hoping to ride trails down? we could form the rear guard
on the road slog, and enjoy some splendid riding on the way down.

jeremy,
i have size 15 feet, and think the chaco grip king combination is a match
made in heaven. i would recommend trying a significantly larger platform
like a GK, as i can't abide traditional rat trap pedals myself.

That is all correct Patrick.
I got the crank once upon a time for a singlespeed (actually,
double-double). With the recent geared build, I swapped the single chainring
out for the VBC 40x24. BB is a 118 to give ample clearance, but i could get
away with a 110 if I was willing to space out to the r
sourcing.

I was planning on a trails-only s24o, the hunqapillar's first, but now i
think if anything i'll be taking the atlantis out into the rain this evening
and trying to stay relatively un-muddy on the way in. we'll see, maybe it'll
let up.
rain is nice, but cool weather without rain is best. i don't li
Hard to compare the two bicycles, as they're set up differently. I do notice
a degree of flex on the atlantis, that I wouldn't otherwise see on the
hunqapillar--but it's possible that flex is masked by the large tires on the
latter.
I would say if you want to ride roads, and/or fireroads, go with
If I recall correctly, Grant mentioned those brazeons were added to help fit
racks to larger frames (without excessive downward angle to the top
support). Helps rigidity, I imagine.
