You really can't beat a Son hub with Edelux light. I commuted in the dark for several years with this system and it always performed flawlessly. However, I'm between generator-powered bikes right now - the Rambler is dead, the custom not finished. So I'm investigating less expensive options.

If you're jonesing for a Rambouillet, I have an original orange, fancy-lugged 62 that I just don't ride much anymore. It's in really good condition. I would love for it to find a good home and am willing to make a deal. Jay Lonner Bellingham, WA On Mon, Nov 4, 2019 at 9:49 PM Josh B wrote: >

I use the 1 UP rack (2-bike version) for my Clementine 55cm on my Subaru Outback and like it a lot. The rack is easy to install and remove; I can do it without help. After inserting into the receiver, there is a hex nut that tightens something against the inside of the receiver, making it rock

I'm 99.9% sure you can't fit 47's and fenders on a Chev ... so that leaves you in the 42 / 1.75 tire with fenders category. We're running Hetres and V/O Snakeskin fenders (and those are technically only 50 but it's working) on a 55. I could probably scare up a few pics of the fit if you're
