[RBW] Re: New fat 700 tires! 700x42 ultra light

So yes!! I've been thinking on these same lines. I like the Elephant NFE but have heard even with the low trail fork there's some shimmy. Never ridden one myself. I love the idea of a bike with a light tube set capable of running 42mm+ CX & slick tires. I suppose some are calling it a monster

Re: [RBW] Re: New fat 700 tires! 700x42 ultra light

I think the Elephant NFE looks like a fabulous bike that I would enjoy riding but not with this particular 700x42 tire. The custom Rivendell I was describing was a road bike wrapped perfectly around this particular 700x42 tire that you introduced in your OP. It wouldn't be the first time I

Eric, I hope you don't mind another non-sale related post from another Bleriot owner. I take it that your Bleriot has not seen a P-B-P, but I'm sure your Singer is a spectacular bike. Would you care to comment on the Bleriot's load carrying (moderate loads, not full touring) and front vs rear

Clayton, I have Woody's fenders on my Atlantis: https://flic.kr/p/pm33zP They've been on for 2.5 years. I have never waxed them; they have held up great, but then so have all my SKS and planet bike fenders. Pros and cons of wood fenders have been well covered here already. I will just add

Mike, This was relayed to me second hand. But loaded in front too high I'll get shimmy on my Hilsen. I had some disbelief regarding the NFE and shimmy considering it has a low trail fork. Some more feedback is obviously required by other NFE owners. ~Hugh “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep

Steve: Sorry, but the heaviest load the Bleriot has carried is … me. Other than the boxy bag on the front and the occasional pair of arm warmers on the back, I haven’t carried anything on it. Randonneuring isn’t about carrying a lot of weight (at least for me … I’m heavy enough), so I haven’t

The Cheviot also only comes in three sizes. I am getting a 52 Clem(entine). I don't think it's a matter of "making the 52 work," despite the fact that, at 5'10" and with a seat height around 74cm, I normally ride 58-60cm frames (I do tend to set my upright townie rides 1-2cm lower, legs just

If you want pre painted (though limited sizes) I saw something about the Portland Fender Company. http://www.portlandfendercompany.com/ I haven't tried them. How do you break your plastic ones? I might go metal when I break my sks longboards, but they have been good for 3 or 4 thousand

[RBW] Re: New fat 700 tires! 700x42 ultra light

Shimmy on an NFE?... I'd like to see that bike and how it's loaded/built. My Matthews uses similar tubing ( 8/5/8 OS) and geometry as the NFE and I don't get any shimmy at all. The NFE has a similar tubeset to a Hilsen BTW. So either they have too much weight up high or something else is

Don't want to derail the thread, and I've heard the Challenge complaints in 3 forums, but have never experienced the problem with Challenge tires on (and off) 5 bikes for up to 7 years and well over 10,000 miles. Also Vittoria hand-glued tires, which are great, but have short rubber life.
