they measured 56mm (slightly wider than advertised). Mine are tubeless

Cliffhangers are stiffer and they also work great with the range of tire
widths that I have found to be ideal for the Appaloosa (48-54ish). Bonus:
you get some extra width from the tire as compared to the Atlas. Good Luck!

In an email back in early September, Will mentioned that they have
lengthened the chainstays on the newest Sams. The 60cm now has 48.5cm
chainstays... which is pretty close to the 61.5 Homer (49cm). Tubing, tire

close. On the Clem (65.5 TT) they feel just right. I could probably
consolidate both bikes with one of the newer Appaloosas since they have
longer TT and apparently have wider clearances too.

Did your fenders come with the quick release clips? I have SKS fenders on

I’ve been using a Zefal HPX 4 on my 62 Appaloosa for over a year and it has
