Here's my rivendell getting me to work last winter. It fits large studded
tires.

I did some cyclo-camping in Adirondack park, it's pretty awesome.It is
true the campgrounds are mostly parking lots for RVs. Luckily you'll see
lots of trails from the road through the woods that offer up some good
camping spots that are off map.You'll see these trail heads frequently
For mid trail or Surly/Rivendell-like geometries, when configuring a rear load
it helps to keep as much weight as possible in front of the rear axle. The
contact patch of the rear tire is the fulcrum of a shimmy inducing lever.
For the front you want low panniers with mass nearly

Just make sure the wedge is down past the threaded portion of the
steerer. On Rivendell frames the threaded portion is long, so just to be
on the safe side you might want to hold the stem next to the HT and
visually see how high the stem can be, and mark it yourself with a sharpie
or some
They measure center to top, and the top of the seat tube is the same as the
top of the TT junction since it's lugged.The head tube on the 64cm QB
is about 23cm. If you're eyeing one for sale, give riv a call and get
their advice.But if you know your pbh, according to their sizing

I recommend cutting the top off the fork crown bracket on SKS fronts with a
hacksaw file.This among other things makes it very easy to remove by
allowing you to slip it on/off the bolt or front-rack bolt when
removing.The secu-clips on the rear thing is another good optimization
Mine also has a sticker S/N.If the QB fits you well and has been
otherwise comfortable up to this point, I'd look into a SA internal gear
hub like a fixed 3-speed, which you can just use with a freewheel. good
luck with it either way.

What everyone else said-get well soon. You seem to be bouncing
right back mentally, with looking into getting the S.O. fixed right away.
In light of that I think it's a great idea to get that bike fixed soon. It
may help your spirit to see it back in shape as you heal too.

Good advice Matt. I use fenders, but I ride year round and I'm not at all
proactive about cleaning. I'm guessing the amount of grit and grime
Fenders and especially a good mudflap can really prolong drive-train
life.I'm just guessing but the increase in lifespan is maybe 4-5x.
