[RBW] Great Divide Thoughts

Planning to ride my Hunq along the Great Divide late Summer into Fall. My current set-up has the albatross bar, but I'm looking to switch them out for either Bosco bullmoose or bullmoose. I don't have experience with either, but am looking for something that will handle well on rough trail.

[RBW] Re: So what do I put in my tea now?

You're reaching conclusions perhaps without all the information. For example, did you realize that eating veggies is an intigral part of low carb? The leafier and greener the better, in general, and they aren't carbs, they digest to fatty acids. Additionally, what you refer to as the

The newer Sams have slightly shorter effective top tubes relative to their seat tubes than the first generation ones. The 60cm model had a 61cm top tube and today's 58cm model has a 59cm effective top tube. That may work better for you with drop bars and maybe worse with upright bars. The

Ted, I highly recommend a tubeless setup. Though a bit of a hassle to initially setup the benefits far outweigh any hassle. I especially like finding 10+ goatheads embedded in a tire after a ride, plucking em out spinning the wheel to distribute the sealant and the leaks go away. ~Hugh On

Deflate the tire. Then with thumb on one side of the tread and a finger on the other, roll the tread between thumb and finger. You'll be able to tell how thin the center of the tread is, compared with the sides. Compare that with the same procedure on a new tire and you'll know. Peter White On
