Re: [RBW] Re: Does anyone have any knobby tire suggestions for a 52 Clem H?
Also, on a 52 Clem you would be looking at the 650B offerings. The Hurricane equivalent width would be Pumpkin Ridge, but if you want RH knobby rubber on a Clem 52 I would go with Juniper: https://www.renehersecycles.com/shop/components/tires/650b/650b-x-48-juniper-ridge-tc/ Just be aware the knobs will wear rather quickly if you do much riding on pavement with them, as the compound is fairly soft. Makes for a great handling tire, but the rear center knobs will wear quickly on hard surfaces.

Is this a Gallop Poll? Tigged bike designed around the Tektro 559, so you can switch from 700c to 650B It will have 60 to 80cm chainstays. Mid tail. It will be designed for handlebars, but not suspension. It will not have disc brakes. Some people will wish it did. It will be offered in two colors, and be super compatible with most current and past basket designs.

I had a 51 Appaloosa which fit well, but I have a couple centimeters on you. It's a tough call - even with the sizing recs on the Riv site - because you're right on that edge between the two smallest sizes in every frame you've mentioned.

Thanks. On a related note, my next frame of interest is the Appaloosa, which I've been waiting for a long time. Do you have the 46 and how would you compare it to the 52 Clem L.

I am not sure how much you can read into the name, but it implies a bike that is fast and light. Maybe a single speed, although the market for those seems to be shrinking. I could be wrong about that. Safe to say it will not be a straight-up road bike, as the Roadini sold relatively slowly. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: Clem L sizing
I have a 45 Clem L with a 78 cm PBH. I don't have experience with the 52 Clem L but had a 51cm Appa that has a similar geometry and 650b wheels. Compared to the Appa, the 45 Clem L definitely fits smallish (longer/taller stem, seatpost pretty extended) and the chainstays are shorter so I had issues with heel strike with a couple of racks. On the flip side, the 51cm Appa was almost an ideal "riv" fit for me. For most riding, though, variables other than frame/wheel size tend to dominate how the handling felt. The only exception is at low speed while navigating narrow and tight spaces in urban areas. In that case, I definitely prefer the 45 Clem L over the Appa as I found it easier to execute maneuvers. --Ed C.

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. Thanks, Robert, for the heads-up on the Boise goathead festival. It looks like a gas, and their website had a promising tip about picking up loose nutlets with squares of carpet.

[RBW] Re: Roadeo on Cycle Greater Yellowstone 2019
Hi Max, Since nobody else replied, I wanted you to know that you've inspired me to check out this ride next year. The photos cinched it. I'd be doing it most likely on my S coupled Spectrum Ti bike rather than a Riv, mostly because I can pack it into a suitcase for airline travel. My Ram is an option also, and although it has a triple chainring it is outfitted with Albastache bars and I think (know) I'd want to do this with a drop bar. There's also the notion that lotsa shifting is better done with a brifter. So here's the big q: is this ride doable without a granny gear using my compact double. If forced to ride out of the saddle for an extended period I don't think that adds to a pleasant day. Any advice based on what others on the trip were using?

[RBW] Re: Recommendations on cycling to Rivendell and around San Francisco and the Bay Area
Hi, Ana. I had a great time on my trip, thanks to the recommendation of the good folks here on one of your links above. There is so much to do, and you're lucky you have more time. My time was limited to 2-1/2 days and one full day. I'll be back though. Cross the Golden Gate Bridge. I walked it, but if you ride it, you can go farther. Loved the walk and the views, but it's quite windy. I also visited the Japanese Garden in Golden Gate Park (I think that was the name). Very lovely. My most fun time was going on a bike tour of San Francisco. I don't remember the company name, but you can ride your own bike; I rented one. I was the only one signed up and they required a minimum of two riders, so I paid for an invisible 2nd person and got a private tour with an ex-history teacher as the ride leader. They know how to zigzag around the really steep hills. Got to see lots of neighborhoods, views and history of SF. I visited Rivendell. I did more, but I cannot remember specifics. I wanted to do so much more, but didn't have the time. Probably 30 years ago, I visited and went to Muir Woods and Chinatown. If you're a museum person, be sure to find out the days they are closed. I was without a bike. I stayed at a hotel in Oakland--Hilton? Hampton Inn?-- (SO much less expensive than SF) and took the free city bus to and from the train station each day and then trained into SF. However, there are lots of bikes there, so you could ride your bike to the station, if you're OK locking it there. I don't know the rules for bringing a bike on the train. That line is really convenient and can take you to/from the airport and to/from Rivendell. Hope you have a great time and post some pics.

[RBW] Re: Charlie H Gallop!
Well, a gallop is not a trot or a canter. I suspect something built with speed in mind, Mongolian style.

RE: [RBW] WTB: tan saddlesack X-small
Jeff: Give a shout any time you’d like to try a ride. It need not be long. I’m in the Montgomery area. You can ride one of the shorter options in our club century next month! We also have a group putting on a gravel ride from 25 to 67 mile routes.
