Congratulations on a great new to you bike. I predict you will have a lot of fun with it. I've been very happy with mine. If you've got a flip flop hub there, I encourage you to throw a cog on there and give that a try. It won't make you a hipster, and your bike isn't a "fixie" unless you are a

Thanks, Birman, and thanks for posting the link to the Craigslist ad. I was remiss in not saying that earlier. I wouldn't have seen it on my own, and appreciate you passing the information along. Dave On Friday, December 22, 2017 at 5:24:35 PM UTC-5, Birdman wrote: > > Congrats! Very cool

Re: [RBW] Panaracer Gravel King 650b x 48mm Tire Experiences. Actual Width?

David- To that point, I had a set of 700x40 Gravel King SKs on 25 mm rims, and they measured almost 41.5 mm. The knobs on the shoulder of the tread may be what added the extra bit to the measurement. But they definitely don't seem to run small. Sent from my iPhone > On Dec 22, 2017, at 12:35

[RBW] Re: Banana Sax Pics?

I have both a Sackville XS and an old Banana. Both are excellent. Determining volume of the Banana is tricky, but IMO it holds a bit more than the Sackville. Specifically, I can get my Abus cable lock (the one Riv sells) fully within the Banana with room for lots of other stuff. Also, the

FYI, I bought this bike. I've been hankering to try this single-speed thang, and I've heard good things about the Quickbeam and Simpleone. This one fits, is in good shape, and is fairly priced, so I thought it would be a good one with which to dive into the world of SS. I feel like such a

[RBW] 33R quick measurement help?

Hey bunch, I’m wondering if someone with a 33R large rear rack would be willing to take a quick measurement. With the rack level on the bike, what is the vertical distance from the bolt attachment on the bottom to the rack platform on top? Many thanks, Bird -- You received this message

David: I’m running Gravel Kings on my converted Rim Road. Mounted on Velocity Synergy rims, they measure 38.5mm wide. I like these tires. To me, they feel the same as Pari-Motos. I didn’t have many flats with the Pari-Motos, and haven’t had any with these (I ride on streets and bike paths

I’ve been running the Steilcooms on my Atlantis for a short time and so far like them well enough but they do have an annoying whine on pavement. Not quite as bad as a 4 wheel drive, lifted truck with off road tires but... I do like the way they corner better than the Cazaderos I had on there
