Deacon, how good to connect with you again, even when I think you are
wrong! At one level you are right. If we are discussing energy lost to
friction in the drivetrain then nothing makes a difference, wax, chain oil,
heavy or light oil or even no lube at all. Under all conditions the energy

I should clarify that I would need shipping to Michigan. If there’s someone in
the bay area willing to facilitate shipping however, I will try to make it
worth their while.

Apparently I am a tire nerd, and while doing some digging on the schwalbe
website I noticed that the 27.5x2.8 variety of the G-one allrounds were
discounted to $46/tire. These would be some good tires for folk's Gus or
Susies.

My peg is 87 and I really like my 58 QB. I hope to ride it this weekend.
I bet I would be slightly less happy on a 60, but disappointed on a 56.

On the opposite side of the spectrum from wax, I use chain saw oil. One

When I was considering an SO (before I blew up my knee) Keven was recommending
a 58. After I came back from the test ride on the 58 and Keven was making a
coffee, Mark walked over to me and said “you should be on a 56.” They did not
have a 56 for demo that day and then the single speed became
The toilet seal ring thing seems like a great idea. How about Johnson's Wax?
It's about the same color, maybe even softer, and your chain would really shine
after a wipedown. Anybody tried it?

I have a cheap inflatable kayak and a cheap folding bike that I use to ride
up river and float down. The folded up bike without wheels attaches to the
back and the wheels stow on the front. It works fine but a little bit of a
pain. I am planning on adding a tube into the mix to put the folder
I have a 56 SO. Maybe consider the height of the tires you plan to use,
currently I have 43 Compass Hurricane Ridge, fairly tall. I'm like 5'11"
give or take, 84 pbh, I think a 58 would be too large for me, the 56 fits
well, I guess a 58 could work, bit, it's nice having stand over space
Ha, very cool. I have a rowboat for the upper body work. It's much too big
to tow far by bike, but I can carry a bike on the boat. That works for the
kind of trip where a body of water is connected by a road or path, I can
row one way and bike back to my car.
I'm in San Francisco and own a Gen 1 QB, 56. Willing to discuss a sale.
Prefer to talk off-forum.

I think "best" size is kinda dependent, though I'm not sure on what.
I'm about 5' 9" with a 84 or 85 pbh.
Before RBW did the SimpleOne, Kevin refused to sell me a sub 56 Quickbeam
(they only had smaller frames left) saying that would be too small and that
he might rather put me on a 58.

Michael,
It’s good to see you back! Always liked reading your posts. Glad you’re doing
well and out there riding. My experience with cleaning/lubing chains and the
resulting contamination mirrors yours. Happy I only have three chains to
clean:-)

I'm a wax convert - it started years ago when I was recovering from a back
injury and commuting on a recumbent, with yards of chain that kept finding
a way to stain my legs, my yellow riding jacket, and anything else that got

I’m 5’10” with a ~83cm pbh and am very happy on a 56cm SO. Just another data
point, but I think the 54 would be too small given your dimensions. Not selling
right now, but I’ll let you know if I change my mind!

Thanks,
