I just picked up a set of Schwalbe almotions in 50-584 but they make a 50-622 and a 55-622 and this one might be exactly the size you are looking for if they are a bit undersized. They are currently only measuring out to 43mm wide on synergies but they are taller then the 42-584 Marathons they

2017-03-20 Thread scott
One limitation for me on my Clem is the saddle. I like the stock saddle a lot, but it bugs me after 15 miles. If I change it it will help, but I have other bikes. Also, on longer rides, I ride the bosco bars differently. I will grab beyond the grips to be a little more forward. My back bugs me

Touring bikes suffer from the pick-up truck syndrome. Some folks buy them for the potential of hauling a lot, but the actual amount they get used for the intended purpose is not worth the expense (both trucks and bikes). Your other bikes will probably suit light touring duty. When you are ready

I think a lot of people stick with bars they aren't the happiest with longer than they want because of the cost involved with swapping them out. Housing/Cable/Grips/Tape not just the bars. I just glued grips on a bar and I really want to slip a 8 speed thumb shifter on replacing a downtube
