I am around 165lbs and maybe another 25lbs for the bike and I run anywhere
around 75 ~ 90psi. Not the fastest tire but they are pretty tough.

Interesting. I was under the assumption RS has had lot on his plate so
would be strange for him to make room and build bikes for a Riv custom.
Would love to hear input from others as well.
I've got a Riv custom by Mark Nobilette. Wonderful ride in every sense.

I ride platforms all day. Have MKS Lambda without pins, VP Gripster with
sharp pins, and VP Vice with smooth top pins. Shin bloody every time with
the Gripster as the pins are sharp. No issues with the Lambda and Vice at
all. The smooth top pins from VP definitely preferred.

I was a cotton and shellac guy but have tried raw cotton this past year and
will probably never go back to shellac. Raw cotton feels pretty good.

Great read. I did my first 200K just this past weekend with Randonneur
Taiwan, also on an AHH and the bike was great through out. I didn't feel
so good at the end but still managed to finished the ride with 1.5 hours to
spare.
The AHH is so versatile and capable.

Hi Lungimsam,
I recently switched Rumpkins to Hetre and it felt more like a bike change
than a tire swap. The difference is staggering and nothing short of
amazing.

Hi Joe,
Topeak makes a metal phone mount that can be bolted directly on to the
stem. You can then buy a Topeak phone sleeve thingy that's appropriate for
your phone. I've seen it for the iPhone but not sure about the HTC EVO. A
very solid setup.

You are supposed to dismount. I don't think changing to longer crank arms
are such a good idea. The only real solution is to learn to trackstand.
Youtube it and learn and you will not have to dismount at traffic lights,
