As a longtime Quickbeam owner, I’ll add my observation that the brake pad
alignment trick with angled dropouts only works with very short brake pads. The
longer pads that many of us have on our bikes will tend to extend over the rim
and hit the tire when the wheel is moved forward if you’re
This is a wonderful story. No judgements from me. I think we are all lucky

brake only or disc and thu-axle now.
Anyone have suggestions for a 700/29”

Which brakes are they? Which pads are you using? Are they properly

Photos would help in making a diagnosis -- but I doubt the squawking is due
to the brakes themselves -- more likely to be pad type and/or setup.

Angled dropouts allow the rear rim to track the brake pad as you move the
wheel back and forth in the dropouts. The upshot of this is that if you are
performing manual gear changes (for instance, a 42t ring up front, and a
16/18 White Industries dos cog in the rear), you can change gears (by

Riding the bike? Always. Not too precious. But, when I lived in the Bay

experience—and they weren't Rivs. Worried a bit in Ann Arbor, MI when I was

I have a new Clem and a two-legged kickstand. I carry an 18-lb dog on the

So Will (and Riv) did as perfect a job as possible of fixing the issues
with my new Clem. I have new slightly upgraded wheels and touch-up paint
for the scrape. I'm sure there were a lot of phone calls made when they got
the wonky wheels back; the LBS that did the tire/cassette swap said it
hi bill
perhaps a dumb question BUT i wonder if you'd mind shedding light on how
this dropout vs. quickbeam (/s.o./f.j.sr.) dropout changes the setup
options. i'm not clear on the effect of the horizontal dropout as opposed
to the slanted one.
i too find many reasons to be very excited
Max, is this the bike you later had painted a yellow for your #1 favorite? Also, I noticed Marc’s has a cream head tube. Why would only some of them be painted with cream head tubes? Anyone know?At any rate, I LOVE it. Both bikes. And green is a hard color to get right, and this green is just

used to be made... perfection.

I use my old Litespeed MTN Bike. A demi-porteur rack supports a large
Fabio's Chest, I load it up, often fully extended. A small Sackville saddle
sack in the rear holding my lock and maybe some light items. Works okay,
the bike handles the weight fine. I've also used my Suzie, the rear rack

I laughed; you've got a good memory.
This was one slogan/design my brother put on T shirts (and sold online and
in at least 1 ABQ LBS) 20+ years ago as part of his now defunct and always
very part time "Two Wheel Fetish" bike business. The design had the "O's"
in the form of an old Campy track

Hi Paul — If you're regularly hauling loads like in your picture it would
be worthwhile to get set up with some good racks and panniers. A handlebar
load of 36 lbs sounds dicey! I'm impressed you got a photo of the bars
loaded up while in motion.
I've had a few setups over the years. The one
