I wouldn’t talk you out of wheels, I think nice hand built wheels with
carefully chosen parts are a very worthwhile investment that will last for
many miles.
I would suggest that while you are wading through a lot of information
about your “great” wheels, you try some lighter tires.
Thank you all for sharing your thoughtful comments, advice and
experiences. From keeping Clem just the way she is and being happy with
the ride to changing out wheels and hubs and/or tires for something better,
there's lots to consider. I appreciate the wisdom of this group and
respect your

Cross post with ibob list. In the parts purge of early 2021, I sold my

Here's the link at Rivbike for my wheels, I should have included it in my
original post. Says out of stock but it's always good with Rich (@rivbike .
com) to email him and see what he has available to build and what he thinks
will match your needs/wants. The rear hub has a titanium cassette
Amazing! Thank you so much!

No one claimed Clems are "objectively heavy and slow", it's about how some
riders feel on them and what they can do for nicer/lighter wheels. Will
they make the bike objectively a little lighter and

Johnny, these* Genetic quill stem adapters *are exactly the same shape as
the original VO adapters, meaning the top portion is 50mm tall rather than
40. The expander is steel rather than aluminum and the finish isn't "quite"
as nice as the VO. I know this from owning all three variations ! If

Reed, who hosts the archive of Rivendell Readers

Now there is quite a trove of Rivendell ephemera.

I have ridden big bens and found them to be a bit sluggish. I would
recommend getting a different tire before trying new wheels. I think the
most zippy wider tires you can get are the Rene Herse tires. However they
don't have significant flat protection. I have ordered a pair of

I am looking for one of those Nitto threadless adaptors. Rivendell sells
them in 2 sizes and I do not need the extra length so the 190 would work
for me. Also Nitto sells these are the MTC model in other places. That one
looks short as well so I am fine with those. I could deal with a Velo
