[RBW] Re: Seeking wisdom of 29+ bikepacking vs. 2.1”

I think that if you can do plus tires you won't regret them for the type of hilly-bike-riding/packing that most folks here tend to do. The larger tires give you traction on the uphills and whatever is lost can be made up with intelligent gearing, muscle and the speed gained on the downhill.

Re: [RBW] Re: Self-diagnosed Riv addicts (some) since 1994.

2 Rivendells currently: my Saluki and my wife's Betty Foy. Both have come from listers! Past Rivs: Bleriot & Simpleone. I regret selling neither but miss them both in a wistful but not serious enough to replace them manner. I would potentially buy a GBW to replace my Salsa El Mar (it's that a

To be clear: I think he’s a good advocate. He’s been amazing at being supportive of lots of capital G good causes and businesses. That is awesome. You can be an advocate for bikes no matter what your identity is. And you can/should be an ally then as well! It takes a little more care to do it

[RBW] Re: Ultra Romance and his Rivendell Atlantis.

Bene has been a Riv rider for a long time and is what the kids call an Influencer. I have lots of issues with straight white shirtless guys on bikes but UltraBromance has done a lot of good for the cause of practical bikes with fat tires and mismatched drivetrains. He’s also not orthodox so

[RBW] Re: Fellowship of the Rigs update: TIME & PLACE

Hammocks are verboten everywhere in SPT to my knowledge. I’ll call on Monday and check my memory with the Rangers. I’ll also be trying to sweet talk them into an early allowance of reservation. Exciting! And I’m somewhat shocked I’m the one doing all this. 2019! -- You received this message
