The more I ride mine the more I love them!. Thunder Burts are delicious! My ride today is a perfect example of their amazing full-range capacity. Asphalt of various types and conditions, Dirt roads of various types and conditions, and single track with some technical rocky bits, all in equal

Interesting build, and I covet those tires (RTB, right?). Flipped -- Albatross bar? The gearing is 1 X ? Does the low gear (what is it?) allow you to get up hills easily with such a load? What is the bag on the back? It looks like a small duffel, but it must be designed for seat mounting. Can

What *should *it be: 622 rim + 51mm tire should be (622 + 51 + 51)/2 = 724mm or 28.5 inches I measured my Atlantis, axle center to ground, and it was 14-1/4 inches. Good so far... Wheel radius - BB drop = bb height (724/2) - 80 = 282mm or 11.1 inches I measured 11-1/4 inches. Close

My 2.1 Thunder Burts do not fit in Zeppelin fenders. I'm running the tires on Velocity Dyad rims. It's close, but no cigar. Even if it did work, I'd have maybe a millimeter or two of clearance! Not enough for me. On Fri, May 20, 2016 at 9:05 AM, Matt B. wrote: > Sorry

It's a great bike: much like the English sport tourers of the 60s and 70s but finished with more thought. My Atlantis is upthread. It's heavier than my old Raleigh Competition but certainly not a slug. With an Atlantis you get great proven geometry with stout tubes. There's a significant

John The wheels are some ceramic side-wall road rims with the "Matrix" label (Trek's componentry label). They are skinny road rims, 32 hole, XT hubs. I kind of want to retire them, partly because of the hassles associated with ceramic braking bits, but they have been freaking indestructable.
