Don't forget that Surlys run big--they measure to the top of the top tube,
not the top of the seat tube as most others do. I think a 20 KM would be
right. 22 is huge.
Soma and Voodoo also make canti 29ers. Gunnar will add canti studs for
$75--I bought a used Rockhound that has them.

The 29er Bombadil is just too big for me and I don't want to invest in

Actually what I was trying to say was that the frame size does NOT
affect the handlebar height, provided you start with an uncut steerer
and can tolerate a stack of headset spacers. This is a key difference
between threadless and threaded, and one that is often misunderstood.

There are, or so it seems, two ways to install the rack. Either you
mount it to both the brake hole in the fork crown, via the included
hardware, and the front drop out eyelets OR you can, as I have, mount
the rack at the eyelets and directly to the front fender. If you don't
have fenders then

Not hard to crack the $950 mark if you were to use a Phil Wood

wheel pricing on the web. Jack Brown tires are 700c, not 650b. Some

This is one of the 96 road standards - a 54cm. In reading Riv Catalog #3
clipless for a short ride = ankle tenderness inside of leg, usually one, but
sometimes both legs.

I think this pain/tenderness is caused by the restriction of motion that
these pedals have - I am somehow
I doubt that clipless pedals would be your problem. I have been riding a Riv

that your cleat setup is off and needs to be aligned better. A quality bike
shop should be able to hlp with this.
Best of luck,

Clipless vs toe clips vs just an ordinary touring pedal can be argued
endlessly without resolution, because it depends on the context of how
you intend to ride with them.
