*Just* installed some 700x38 Gravelking Sk's on a project bike. Haven't had a chance to ride it yet but they seem like a nice product, especially for the price. Measured in at 35.5 on some old Super Champion rims. -Jared On Thursday, November 4, 2021 at 3:17:34 PM UTC-7 bjmi...@gmail.com

Some good suggestions coming in! I'm VERY interested in the Barlow Pass in the endurance casing. Aesthetically speaking, the RH tires can't be topped. But...I think I might go with the Gravelkings when it comes time. On Thu, Nov 4, 2021 at 4:24 PM Garth wrote: > Schwalbe Marathon Racers come

Schwalbe Marathon Racers come in a 38, which will be more like a 36 or so depending on the rim. I ride the 35's, 33.3 actual on 19mm ID rims, and they ride very nicely, and they last. The only other tire I had that lasted like these is the Big Ben raceguard ones. I ride mine @35-40 rear, 30-35

that's a great looking bike. congrats! i swapped out dura-ace barends for silver1 (downtube) shifters on my homer without issue. totally straightforward. if you do so and are looking to rehome the shimanos, i'll take 'em off your hands! in my experience, you can't go wrong with the 38mm

Ben: I would certainly change the brake cables. If the housings look ok, leave them (especially since changing them would require losing that nice tape/twine job). Brake cables fail; housings just get rusty and old. If the shifter cables look good, you can probably leave them in place. Look

The demo Sam Hilborne was up on the Riv site this morning and I bought it. Should be here in about two weeks and I am pretty excited. I have never bought a bike I have never sat on before, so this is a test and a little nerve racking. I will post photos when it arrives and after I modify it
