Re: [RBW] Re: New Roadeo (to me)

As I understand it the Roadeo has significantly thinner tubing than the Romulus and Ram I owned. Noticeable enough that my one very short ride around the building at RBW told me I was riding a different, whippier, snappier bike than what I was familiar with. To my mind it was the difference

That's very pretty, and built much as I would build one. You say it's much faster than your Rambouillet. I found my Ram spritely, but not as spritely as my lightest road bike, but then there was a big difference in the wheels -- MA40s with even Parigi Roubaix 29 mm 700C tires are going to be

Re: [RBW] Jobst on 650b?

Your idea would probably work. I do prefer at least the idea of a half fender in front -- I think I measured my best length at about 14" behind fork crown -- and supported by a strut either from 3/4-way toward the trailing end to bosses mid-fork-leg, or else run the struts from the leading edge of

Re: [RBW] Re: comparison: Marathon vs Compass

Note that this does not hold at all for goathead punctures; your EL fattie will get far, far, *far* more holes than your Kojak, and even the Kojak will need frequent weekly patching. Even 23 mm skinnies like the Conti GP and the Mich Pro Race got fewer thorn flats than the Elk Pass or Parigi

Re: [RBW] comparison: Marathon vs Compass

Someone on the CR list uses large veterinary syringes and needles to insert sealant; the sealant -- you might figger this out yourself -- seals the little hole. Still, he has to use ammonia to keep the needle clean, so the upshot, seems to me, is that the "remove valve core" method is not much

The widest 650B rim brake rim I've ever seen is the DM24 on my HubbuHubbuH tandem. Those are 32mm outside width and 24mm inside width with uber-thick sidewalls. I would think the Cliffhanger or the DM24 would both work fine for 2.8" tires. BL On Friday, September 21, 2018 at 11:01:55 AM

Just to be clear my concern is Not With rim brakes; it mostly centers around what would have to be a wider then normal rim brake rim for this particular model. I am could be wrong (hopefully), but are they putting 2.8" tires on standard Atlas/Velocity rims? Otherwise all the wide 27.5 rims I am

Update: So I have enjoyed the 700c ride so much on the Roadeo that I converted the Ram back to 700c to see if I was cheating the Ram out of zippiness by having it 650b. As a side note, R559 will work fine as 700c on Rambouillet, so I am leaving the longreaches on it. Looks like might be better
