My wife calls my Hillborne the "Barbie Bike" due to my olive sackville accesorizing. The crate is interesting although I'd want the coffee holder on the outside to maximize interior space. Embrace the fact that he's so into the Clem that he wants to personalize it. Even if the crate ends up

That basket/box is pretty cool. I like bamboo products, and they are generally Riv-approved as well! It should adapt fine to the bike. It looks like his Clem has 20mm of spacers , so the box _should_ fit on there okay. The 650B tires

Re: [RBW] Rivs on the Great Divide Route?

If the average snowfall is 60", 100% means getting to that 60" amount. Similarly, 120% of average would be 72". It's also usually expressed in relation to time, as in "100% of average for March 27". Previous posts have mentioned less than average snowfall last year. So that may mean 75%

[RBW] Re: Need Your Advice on Husband's Crazy Clem Idea

Bamboo basket with a Starbucks cup holder may be an original and fabulous idea. It is, however, at best a subset of a hundred plus years of using beefy wood crates for hauling. Which is neither here nor there. The basket should mount fine, though the stem attachment may need adjustment to work

Hi Joe, I was curious to know, are you using a 10-speed drivetrain on your Jones Plus? If so, are you also using a clutch derailleur? I'm wondering if some of the problems I've had are a result of stubbornly hanging onto a 9-speed drivetrain, as I know the Surly OD chainrings are designed for
