Re: [RBW] Re: Using Your Rivendell Vs. Being Precious: A Spectrum

I was so grateful to find a '93 XO-3 frame in very good condition a few years back...I built it up as my everyday rider, with a 1x 8 drive, unfancy 26" wheels (with Panaracer Paselas), and an Albastache bar. Basket in the front and a Carradice bag in the rear - it's perfect for the job. I

Matthew - What makes you think you are doing anything wrong (aside from running over glass (which isn't always avoidable)? The Kendas (assuming you had the Kwick 9s, which are Big Ben-ish in design and weight) likely had much thicker tread and casing and that's part of the trade-off with more

I like capris for winter riding in the Bay Area (too hot for the other 3 seasons). I too, first found them in Europe, but earlier this year I discovered that the Germans call them 3/4 pants: https://blog.piaw.net/2023/01/mens-carpis.html On Wednesday, October 4, 2023 at 1:43:10 PM UTC-7

Nothing can prevent glass flats unless you run heavy duty Schwalbe Marathons, and I've flatted with those as well. Just watch where you ride. That's the best protection from flats. On Wed, Oct 4, 2023 at 2:28 PM Matthew Williams < matthewwilliamsdes...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi everyone, > > I just
