I wondered if the Clem with its looong wheelbase would fit the racks on the front of our local city buses. Today I found out. I discovered that the buses on the route at the top of my street use a different style bus rack than the buses of the semi-express route that I have used for my

The tread pattern on my RTP is the same as the one on my 700C Stampedes. A fatter 26" tire with this minimal herringbone road tread will definitely look pretty smooth. Since this is RBW, here are their tips on tires: https://www.rivbike.com/kb_results.asp?ID=58
