Thanks everyone! Am I correct in understanding that the B-Line is an update/replacement to the Express? Suppler/lighter? I love my 700c Shikoros. But I don't think they make 650b? Can't seem to find Gravel King SKs in any other size but 650b 48mm. P BK/NY -- You received this message

Gotta second the Soma New Xpress, those were great tires. Them and Schwalbe Marathons are the only ones I've run on my commuting route that have gone flat free, and the New Xpress ride much closer to the Compass stuff than my current Mondials do. I've still got a set I'm not using since I

Orange was the 1st run of Toyo made frames. Somewhat less than 1200 total were made in all 3 colors over the model run and the serial # on the underside of the BB shell will give you some idea of where in the sequence yours was. Yours has nice lugs. Later lugs were simpler. The Logic cranks

The Soma Shikoros have been great commuter tires for me. A little heavier than the Compass equivalent (38 mm), and slightly less cushy, but the ride is great and no flats yet for me. That's in about a year of all-around riding including nine-mile city ride to work. John -- You received this

[RBW] Re: What's that grub screw on the SILVER chainrings for?

The grub screw should be on the outer chainring and should be aligned with the crank arm to prevent an over-shifted chain from wedging itself between the outer chainring and crank arm. Laing Cocoa FL On Saturday, August 25, 2018 at 2:51:55 PM UTC-4, Lum Gim Fong wrote: > Searched and searched

I've had success with GB Cypres on DM-18 rims. Similar remarks apply to Stampede Pass. I've always had a naive theory that DM-18s and CR-18s are similar, but I've never put my hands on CR-18s, and don't actually know that. ;-) rod On Tuesday, August 21, 2018 at 1:36:46 AM UTC-4, Lum Gim Fong
