They do! I can't wait to get the gavel bike built so that I can go for a
long ride on them.

Joe,
I have a pair of the Rat Trap Pass, file tread tires that I'll going to
first try. The gravel roads around here aren't that long, so I ride from
one section of gravel to another on paved roads for more that 1/2 the ride.
But if I'm not happy with the RTP, then I would like to try the
If they are the knobby RH tires, then they will probably grip better on the
dirt than these tires. I have the 26” RH Humptulips on my Bstone MB2 and they
are so nice that it doesn’t make me feel bad for what I paid for them,
especially in comparison to what I paid for the bike! And they roll
Thanks Joe, I may consider them for a gravel bike that I'll be building
from a M2 StumpJumper. I have a pair of Rene Herse tires for it (from a
list member) that I'll start with and see how they do. I've had good luck

The Ultradynamico tires are nice. They are very comfortable and the bike feels
great (and fast) with them. I’m running the Rose up front which holds fine on
the loose dirt around here. On pavement it rolls fine with a bit of a whirring
sound that’s not as distracting as full on knobbies but
Nice looking mounting of the basket to the Nitto rack. How do you like the
UltraDynamico tires?
My plan is to cut down the Wald struts and use a couple angle brackets
along with aluminum bar stock to make a "rasket". Finding a long strut to
go from the fork to the rasket isn't going well. Riv
Thank you for the advice of using lighter coats, that should help prevent
runs and drips. I put two coats on this time, so should be good for a
while. Now onto mounting the Wald basket, always something.

JohnS: It sounds like you have too much shellac in your brush. Submerge the
bristles of your brush only about a half inch and then lay off the brush by
wiping the end of the bristles on the underside of the rim of the can. You
only need enough to get a single even coat. Shellac dries quickly,
I never do loads of coats. I like just enough to provide some protection
and keep the twine in place. Usually just one coat honestly. I never cover
anything. I am a rebel.

I always apply in very light coats. I end up using 6 or so coats. Like you
I cover the front of the bike. I use plastic drop cloths and lasting tape.
Alcohol, denatured Alcohol can take the shellac off of the places you do
not want it.
