[RBW] WTB: 650b rear wheel / maybe wheelset

['Justin August' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Hey folks-
In need of a rear wheel. 
650b
Rim brake
32 holes
Silver rim
10 speed compatible
Tubeless optional

70/30 worst roads in the US/dirt

Anyone got anything fun?
Open to a wheelset if it’s a dyno, preferably SON

[John G.]

I know of many of us appreciate knowing the saddle height of a bike posted for 
sale.

[RBW] Re: New ROADEO

[John G.]

Fender line is much better now, thank you very much! Just needed an extra 
5mm spacer. 

Adding to Bill's and Mike's thoughtful description. At no point did Bill 
ever say the Roadeo was uncomfortable, but for some folks, the term "race 
bike" might connote uncomfortable and aggressive geometry. Personally, I've 
found the Roadeo to be an extremely comfortable brevet/century bike, both 
physically and mentally. It just sorta handles itself after a while. I 
sometimes prefer standard diameter tubing, but I do think the (very light) 
OS tubing on the Roadeo contributes to its reliable but lively handling. I 
know I often get hung up on wall thickness and tubing, but I really think 
geometry and fit make more of a difference than standard vs OS tubing.

And yeah, it's fast. Am I faster on my Roadeo than I was on my Black 
Mountain? Maybe a bit, but not so much faster than I get home in time to 
kill an extra 20 minutes browsing iBob.

If I ever move this Roadeo on, it will be because I have a 
similarly-purposed Weigle that fits just a smidge better. But I also 
believe you can never have too many road bikes that fit 32mm tires.

Well, not a scratch of harm to the paint, and though it's off topic and I had 
thought to create a new thread for this, I'll go ahead and mention it here, 
that flame can't harm your Rivendell! At worst it might leave it super clean, 
bad being maybe the good grease burns off too?

[RBW] Re: Geo Question

[Chris L]

A very basic understanding of Stack and Reach has been very helpful for 
me.  I know a bike with a Reach in the 300's will be too short for me and 
that a stack of about 600 is the minimum for my preferred bar height.

Jason,

That Geo website really helps especially in comparisons. I too am
challenged by those two Geo numbers and agree they should be prominent
right up with standover I'm attempting to rectify my deficiency.

[RBW] Re: The last of the phenomenal Clem H’s

[Jason Fuller]

Sorry for the slow response, but thanks for the kind words Tom.  It's an 
FSA Comet crankset / BB with external bearings, which uses an annoyingly 
rare chainring interface - but I discovered through internet sleuthing that 
it is the same as a Cannondale spec, which Wolf Tooth makes a spider 
adapter for, so I have that plus a Wolf Tooth 38t ring to replace the stock 
32t.  Not sure what the spindle length would work out to on this setup 
since it's all integrated. 

Seatpost is the stock one, S65 sounds right?  It's about 20mm from being 
maxed out.  I don't love the look, but the ample standover is nice!  I 
prefer the look over a step-thru so I'll take the compromise.

[RBW] Advice Needed: Tires

[tc]

Steve,
What width rim?  How wide a tire does your frame allow you to go?

My quick ranking, having used them in the 38-60mm range:

1. Barlow (38 std casing). Most supple - like butter, quietest, easiest to 
mount. 

2  G-One (2” and 2.4”) second most supple, very slight hum on pavement, but not 
objectionably so. 

3. Sport Contact II (42) (I know you didn’t mention). Least supple, but more so 
than marathons, least expensive, quiet, fast for money. 

I should note my experiences are running with tubes. 

Tom

Re: [RBW] Re: Can we talk about long wheelbases?

[lconley]

I have kind of standardized on the Brooks B68. I have had little trouble 
buying NOS Brooks B68 saddles on eBay. I have 2 aged versions - brown with 
laces (already broken in out of the box - very comfortable), 1 B68S (black, 
shorter version with chromed rails and laces - going on the Wife's Betty) 
and 3 or 4 standard black models. The B68S came with multiple laces in 
several colors, so: red lace for the Betty, blue lace for the Frank Jones 
Sr., and green lace for the Bombadil. I have a leather punch, so others may 
get laces also.

I wanted a Honey B68 with chrome rails for my upcoming custom, but no go, 
so I got a black B68 frame from Italy on eBay, had it chromed locally, and 
sent it to Firth and Wilson - they installed a Honey B67 top (identical in 
shape to the B68) with large copper rivets. Took some time and additional 
money, but I love my Brooks B678Frankensaddle.

Re: [RBW] Re: Can we talk about long wheelbases?

[masmojo]

Leah, sadly it looks as though Brooks has discontinued the B68 & B72 saddles.
B72 was my favorite, but somewhat awkward due to the double saddle rails that 
required a conventional seat post for the special clamp or an adapter.
The B68 had no springs, but like many conventional Brooks saddles did require a 
fairly lengthy break in period.
I think long term the B17 could work on the Clem L, but caution your sister 
that Brooks saddles do require breaking in.
I have a C19 on one bike and it initially feels OK, but everyone who's ridden 
that bike any time at all says the more you ride it the more uncomfortable it 
gets. A bit stiff! 
In my experience with the C17  Allweathers the regular one was almost as 
comfortable as my B17, but oddly the cut out version was less comfortable. I am 
not sure if I want to gamble with the C19 Allweathers or not!?

[RBW] Re: Advice Needed: Tires

[aeroperf]

My wife and I used to ride Schwalbe Marathons.  Great tires for puncture 
protection, but at 730 grams my wife said it always felt like riding 
through mud.  Never had a flat, though.
We went to Continental Ride Tour tires and they were an improvement - less 
stiff and less heavy at 650 grams.  She loves them.
I moved on to Continental Speed Ride tires.  They only come in one size - 
622x42 at 495 grams.  I have 5000 miles on my set and I love them.
I will occasionally re-mount the Ride Tours if I want to compare things 
like tire widths or chain stay lengths.  :-)
IMHO it is a trade-off between weight and puncture protection, and I’ll 
take the risk for lighter weight.

Re: [RBW] Advice Needed: Tires

[Patrick Moore]

That's interesting that these beefy-seeming tires roll as well as
extralight Compass tires; I guess that what makes the difference is that
they are tubeless? I know that when I briefly ran Kojaks tubeless (ghetto
setup), they felt like the Compass Elk Pass with tubes.

Question: after much suffering and anguish I managed a couple of years ago
to purchase a pair of 559 X 28 G-One Speeds, but I don't see these on
Schwalbe's site anymore. *Do they still make a 26" version?*

(As to my pair, (a) I was then ignorant that you can very successfilly --
so I'm told -- run tubeless-ready tires on non-tubless rims with the right
rim tape; and (b) when I felt those thick and stiff sidewalls, I said,
"Nah!" and sold them at a huge loss, unmounted and unridden. Wish I'd been
as well informed then as I am now. Still, perhaps academic if this size is
no longer on the market.)

HI,
I use Schwalbe’s on most of my bikes. The G-Ones are my favorite tires. I use 
them in the road version and gravel versions. I have them from 25mm to 50mm.
The tires seems heavy duty but ride as good as the condom-thin tires. I feel 
very secure on the Schwalbe’s and get a great fast ride.

Howdy ya’ll,

I’m the seller! Thanks for sharing the CL post, Kevin! I’m hoping to sell it 
locally, but if that doesn’t work out I’ll ship it. Happy to answer any 
questions about it. Please pass along to any interested parties. 

Best,
Paul in Oakland

Re: [RBW] Re: Advice Needed: Tires

[Steve Palincsar]

No doubt the Barlow Pass ELs are excellent tires.  Question is, though, 
what is "one size up" from 700x37C Marathon?  The Barlow Pass are 38mm 
and I believe really are 38mm wide.  How wide are the Marathons in real 
life?  Some Schwalbe tires are dramatically narrower than the sidewall 
rating; is the Marathon one of them?   If it is, will the Bianchi Axis 
fit an actual 38mm wide tire?

[RBW] Advice Needed: Tires

[Steve Cole]

I want to replace the tires I currently am running on a bike I use only 
about a quarter of the time.  The bike is a 1990s era Bianchi Axis.  It is 
currently set up with 700c x 37 Schwalbe Marathons (the original).  I want 
to go a size larger which I believe the bike will accommodate.  I also want 
a suppler tire.  I ride mostly in the city, on paved country roads and 
occasionally on fairly smooth dirt roads.  I've considered Rene Herse 
Barlow Pass, Continental Contact Speed or Schwalbe G-One Speed.  I'm 
interest in any views you have on these tires or others you would strongly 
recommend.  Many thanks.

Nice bike -- some high zoot components. a good deal at $1100, IMHO.  1 
photo, washed out, non drive side. Always wonder why folks do that. Photos 
on CL are free!
