Hi Daman: I missed your original post, but had a question if you don't mind answering: which public transit racks don't fit your Clem H? (I'm local, in Tacoma) Bus racks? or light rail, train? If they don't fit, is it the long wheelbase? thanks for any help! Art On Monday, October 3, 2022

I have a Waterford Homer, 54 cm, and I weigh 150 lbs. I put about 30 lbs of groceries in panniers in the back and the bike felt great, and if I knew what "planing" was, then I would say the bike was planing because it felt springy when I was out of the saddle. If I were 180 lbs and 30 lbs in the

I had a MUSA Homer years ago, 2005-ish or so. With a Nitto rear rack, my return trip from TJs with both panniers loaded displayed whippy behavior. OK for the short rides from the grocery store or TJs, but I would not like handling even for a S24H. Frame was 61 cm for your consideration. Mike
