My son was ready at 10, but he grew up in the forest and had helped me deal

Has he experience with proper care and use of knife? A hatchet is the same
thing, but will cause more harm faster, so we’ve waited until several years of

I recently swapped out the OEM cheepo dual pivot front brake on the Hon
Solo for a 559; pads near the bottom of slot. The 559 is better, but not as
hugely better as I had hoped, despite the Kool Stop salmon pads. I have to
say that this must be the nature of the beast.

+1 on going with the second wheel set.
I've never taken a ride on a Bombadil, but I have a 2013 Hunqapillar, and
it's really fun & zippy with 38mm Compass tires, even on Atlas rims. I have
one Cliffhanger wheel set for 50-55mm tires, and an Atlas wheel set for the
38-44mm tires. Try out
Mine’s the Bigboy 2000, a measly 14” blade. But “big” trees in Colorado aren’t
as big as your neck o the woods. Grin. I’m pretty sure I have the Wildlife

leverage. Great tools!

Eric,
I've found Tektro 559's to be suboptimal for 650b conversions, mostly
because they had to be at the bottom of the slot to make it work. I believe
Tektro 559s on a bike like the Hilsen with 65mm brake reach will feel much
better.
Even still, you can put Paul Racers on these, and they
