My experience is like so many others already provided. I recently
installed Barlow Pass extra lights on my Quickbeam fixed-wheel bike. I
needed to switch the rear cog to compensate for the additional speed. My
prior tire was just as wide, but these tires are noticeably more
I too have always attached the clamp to the frame for decades without any
ill effects . Just use some sense, like don't over clamp with force, and
if you're concerned with double butted tubes being too thin in the middle,
clamp near the lugs instead. A Hunqa frame has no concern about that
16-17 average is fast! ;)

Hi everyone,
Looking for someone to join me on 50-60 mile ride out of Carlsbad, CA
tomorrow morning. Moderate pace 16-17mph.
I'd like to start between 9-9:30. Contact me off list if interested
I definitely would be handing it to someone as a bare frame
Thanks for the guesstimates. Here's hoping it's in that ballpark!
Yours,
Thomas Lynn Skean

I'm sure most of you check every day, but for those who missed it, there
are a few ClemSamples back from paint displayed on the BLUG. Plan on
visiting Riv HQ next week and take a test ride!

Hey All,
I can not argue with other's opinion that I seem Riv inspired. Pics are
of my everyday ride. Sorry about the chaotic scene. But

one of those rings as a napkin ring.
