If the Rivendell model was available when I ordered this I may have went with it to get the 65 wide Toscos that only have a 31.8 clamp but I am not sure that it would have worked out for me based on the length. I am not sure I could get them low enough. I think that Riv stem and 65 Toscos is

The bear traps are really nice. There is something about the look of them that really appealed to be and the options for some color is a huge plus. They grip super well but also not to the extent that moving the foot is difficult. My normal pedals have pins that are so super grippy that you are

I actually never tried the bubblys! I didn't need them because I still had my monarchs that I took off my platypus, so I sold the bubblys before I could fall in love with them... what can I say, I'm fickle! I have to say I like the monarchs a lot too... On Sunday, April 17, 2022 at 8:34:01 AM

Sofie, did you not like your Bubbly pedals? Technically a bear trap, I love mine. Sent from my iPhone > On Apr 17, 2022, at 8:03 AM, Sofie C wrote: > > Wow, I love everything about your Clem! How do you like those bear trap > pedals? I'm also intrigued by the nitto/blue lug stem you

@rmrose58 that is a killer looking Clem. I have a Deore/Cliffhanger wheelset that I am planning to get set up tubeless. I am going to throw some Gravel King SK 2.1 tires on it. If I could get the SS that wide I would have went with that but they don't exist. I am digging the ergon grips on

I went with the 60's because the 65's required a 31.8 stem and 1. The Faceplatter is very tall and would result in the bars being too high and more importantly 2. Even if they would work they were out of stock and there were no other options at the time. Now they have the new option available

I am pretty addicted to the Crank Stamp 1 pedals because they are light, grippy, come in two sizes and loads of colors too. These bear traps just kept calling to me because they look so cool so I decided to use them. I am digging them. I also went with the huge bottle cage since the new Clems

I think it came out wonderfully. And I agree with you that the Clems can be plenty fast with good wheels and tires. Glad to see color going on Rivendells, and especially on the Clems. You can have artistic license with a Clem; they aren’t snobby; they are the heros of the Rivendell line and
