Misuboshi and Michelin World Tour tires I feel pre-date the recent 650b craze.
i wonder who made the tires for the Raleigh Passage in the 80's mike

can't do it yourself. That will solve your shuddering problem, give you

Thanks for posting that; I didn't know that Ritchy had tried 650B so long

So, you've got a pair of Paul cantilevers, one for the front and one for

And would you care to discuss selling your extra pair of Paul cantis ...?

I recall reading a book perhaps 25 years ago about a couple of British
brothers who, some 35-40 years ago, bought a couple of custom steel touring
bikes to take on a huge, lengthy tour of Asia; at least the subcontinent,
and Afghanistan too, I think.
Anyway, their bikes were built by a well-known
With the v-brake up front, I tend to get this fork vibration I've never
really experienced with a cantilever. The headset is nice and tight and
nothing else seems to be problematic, just thinking if that vibration might
be due to the different stopping power of v brakes, would the canti up
What would you hope to gain by this sort of combination? Is it that you've
found cantilevers less effective in the rear than desired?
I've found this, at least using drop bar levers -- probably due to my
ineptitude in installing them; but I've also found that a good canti design

So if it was released in 2006, then it must have been conceptualized at
least one or two years prior. So wacky 650b idea evolved around 2004 or
2005? It makes sense they had to also release some tires as well.
I didn't ride a bike as an adult until 2009, so what 650b tires existed
back then?

Thanks Rich and others. I just had a nice ~20 mile out and about (ending up
at the grocery store 1 mile south of my house; the best kind of ride is a
huge detour to a practical destination). I had put the fixed wheel back on
it, the first time I've ridden the 48 X 17 fixed with the Naches Passes,
Anyone ever use a Canti brake up front and V-brake in the back? I know I'd
need different pull levers, which complicates things, but I've noticed up
front, the V-brake can sometimes be a little more than I need, it's great
in the back though. I have two sets of Paul neo-retro canti's sitting

Matt, I believe they were released in 2006 just after the 659b Saluki. The
only tire size I ride now. I remember when iBob list members were doing
concessions. I bought a Saluki and Bleriot, still have the Bleriot.

Nope, there were very few 650b tires and Grant looked bonkers to even being
trying this. Boy did THAT one work out!

It's not always easy to find hard numbers on replacement forks, but IME
modern affordable replacement steel forks are not particularly
lighter/lightish in weight. I think it's both for production cost reduction
and for a mfr liability cushion in the face of gov't safety regs. I just
checked
I would say releasing a production 650b bike 11 years ago was pretty
adventurous. I have a 2009 Bleriot and as I think about it, If I knew it
existed, I would have been less likely to buy it when it was being sold. I
dont think there were even too many 650b tires available then.

The model name "Hunqapillar" that was inspired from a very large mailbox

out to be my favorite name and Rivendell model. Stick shifting is the only

Splats and Half Mitts have to be up there.
Half mitts with the thumb I find are actually pretty useful things to have
around, take up little space and weigh very little. Never got the splats,
but I see their (dorky) practicality!

Hi Bunch!
Found a decent (and free!) triple butted steel frame (85 Univega Maxima
Sport Mixte) to start a commuter I'm building for a friend. Trouble is, no

Looking for a used steel fork or recommendations for a new one.
