I confess I've wished for canti bosses on my Homer, mainly though I just
want to run Paul Mini-Motos because they stop so much better than any

I would not take my kid riding on US101 or CA1, full stop. Way too much RV

I did the ride from Vancouver BC to LA in three trips, in the last century,
1982 (BC-Portland), 84 (Portland to SF) and 86 (Oakland to LA). We rode
through the redwoods out of Arcata, and camped in Ukiah. The following day,
threw the bikes on the Skunk Train, and regained the coastal route.
I rode today and had to use the 40tooth when I accidentally took the baby on
SingleTrack and up a hill! I don’t know if it would do 42. I am bad at
estimating these things and tend to just try and if it fails it fails.
On the other hand you could just use a slightly smaller front ring.

Age brings with it discipline, insight and even temperedness which
compliment long rides. The fitful brainstem sprint reflex of youth tires

I would think a tire like the WTB resolute 42mm or riddler 45mm would be
great. i have a canti sam and I had the riddler 45's, was a pretty good
option with good clearance.

Preference-wise, I am leaning toward the Snoqualmies... But the Vitesse has it

But as I mentioned, if they stand taller than 47mm off the rim, t'ain't gonna

Lately I've been noticing how they let me fly over broken and uneven pavement
