No, stop staring at the thing and get out and ride! Of course you could
just get a dirt drop or periscopa.

Is anyone doing this with the 26x2.35 Big Apples and the SKS P65s?

I find the 60s best (comfort/sidewall stability) at ~22 front/~27 rear
for strictly pavement riding, but that on 44 mm rims. 30 psi in front
is too harsh. Of course, rider's weight affects the ride at any given
pressure.

I used SKS's with the 559 model; this was a few years ago and I don't
know what model the fenders were, but they certainly worked -- better
coverage than the Planet Bikes on the Fargo, tho' still not quite as
wide as the tire.

Patrick -- I like the SnoCat idea. Any photos? I'm toying with getting
some SnoCats but they seem to have stopped making them in 26.
I'm running the 26x2.15 Big Apples and wondered if the SKS P65 fenders
would fit. I'll have to try that and report back.

Not a great photo, but you can see the rims here:

I think 60s and SnoCats are really overkill for anything except soft
surfaces or, perhaps, very rough surfaces (I can ride over riprap) but
the combination is very cushy!
Here's about 3.5 gallons of beer.

How tall? My wife is 5'9 and I built her up a white 58cm Soma Buena Vista
mixte (if you want to consider new). We both think it's the bomb. There's room
for a taller rider in that size. Not sure if there is a size larger as well. It
sure is a pretty bike. I would not say feminine but certainly

There are many new hybrid/city bikes with 7-speed trigger shifters that
works very well. Those wide range Shimano freewheels are of quite bad
quality in my experience, they wear out fast.

And there are examples of that frame being built with 650B on the web -- works
well, and is quite attractive. I've thought about doing one of those myself,
but I keep coming back to the Foy.

Yeah, I went down to 25 front and 35 rear today. I think I'll still go
lower at the front. Not sure about the back, 35 PSI feels too firm to me,
but I think I have about 70% of my weight on the back wheel so I'm a little
worried about pinch flats and rim damage.
I would say the tread on these

After a quick ride on the fixed-gear QuickBeam, I have to say I like these

Well I have for the most part finished my build on the Holdsworth. The
brakes I've got on it are cheap or at very least weak springed with no

originally been for 27 inch wheels. Anyway I'm looking to find a brake to

Will often use the Yokozuna pads that Rivendell sells. Put them on my
wife's bike and they are on at least one of mine. They are also quite nice
and seem to pick up less metal and junk during Minnesota winters. That's
one downside I've seen with the Kool Stops. They also don't always play
nice
I want the grippiest of all pedals available.
I have the grip kings and I love the shape and the pedals- when they are dry.
So here's the deal should I get the pins- which I'd gladly do as long as they
will really be super duper bloody shins grippy or should I pop for the tioga
spyders.

+1 for the Yokozuna pads performing equally well as Kool Stops. As to
the Tektro CR720s, the pads wore out surprisingly quickly. Mine were
cartridge shoes (?) so it was simple to replace with Kool Stop pads.

It might depend on the geography of the sole of your shoes. Do you wear
smooth soles, or sneaker types with ruts and channels in them?

I use em all. Sometimes sneakers other times flip flops sometimes teva sandals
sambas and in the winter boots. My feet don't discriminate and I ride fine in
all of them. But lately in the morning if I walk through the grass the dew is
enough to make my feet slip on the kings.

The Tange 107 and 110 have the same right-side dimension. The 110 is 3mm

Thanks for the good wishes! I've been doing the ride your age in miles
for a while, but I hadn't thought of getting a new bike (lightbulb goes
on). I should have been more specific with my request. I'm looking for
ideas for a special ride. Something on the order of a week or less would be
good.
Thanks for the suggestions. It is trial and error but finding things like
motolight make that trial and error easier,
