Hey all - I want to try a narrower bar on my Sam. I have a 46cm, and would
like to trade for a narrower version.
Would also like to try a Grand Bois Randonneur, if one is floating about
unused.
Anybody have anything to trade? I'm in the east-of-Sacramento area,
frequent the Bay Area, and am

I agree with you, with one caveat: Width and tire pressure make a huge
difference. If you are comparing two 32 mm tires, the supple, light one
will get more flats. But if you are comparing a puncture-resistant 32 mm
tire with a supple, light 42 mm tire, the 42 mm tire probably will get
fewer
So I currently have my Sam Hillborne as my only bike, though I was
considering adding a front suspension/disc-brake mountain bike to the
stable. There's a deal for a Jamis 650B dragon pro on the interwebs now for
$1400, but I'm thinking I could rather add a second set of very nice wheels

Can the Sam Hill take a 50 mm tire? Mine was (IIRC) a 2010 model, and I
doubt it would fit a tire so wide.
*IF* it takes such a width, my own, personal choice would be the Sam Hill.
Though I disliked aspects of mine (sold it before I'd owned it 12 months
because it was doggy-ish as a road bike),
Interesting: I figured a tire like the new Cazadero would be just about
perfect for most of the outback. I guess you'd need to walk a little but I
don't figure that's too bad.
Of course I have a 650b x 55 truck so...

I wasn't as patient as you I pulled the trigger on my 56 Atlantis after

The other day I followed Deacon Patrick's recipe and made some chocolate
flavored with a generous pinch of cayenne pepper—and zero sugar. Yes, it's
bitter but it's delicious (I already have a hairy chest)! Thanks, Deacon

I agree on the versatility of more than one bike, but the thing is, it
takes about $4000 for me to get a bike that I like every single aspect of,
like my Sam Hillborne ;) . The option I was looking at is a Jamis Dragon
650b, but I would rather stick with my Sam since it is so perfect in so
FWIW, the Jamis Dragon 650B is a 21 on clearance from Jenson USA at $1400

Mike,
The question that comes to my mind regarding the OO is how do you want to ride
it?
Fast like Jan Heine or taking your time and camping along the way? If you plan
on riding in like under 30 hours than a 42 mm tire like the Grand Bois Hetre's
would be sufficient with next to no load (as

If it's the square-section SKS you're using, that won't fit anything
bigger than a 28-29mm. JBs are 33.33

Oh SNAP! Cayenne would do it. That reminds me, I had the best ice cream
of my life in Spain a couple years ago. It was dark chocolate + orange +
cayenne.

Noticing the messages about the Oregon Outback, I thought we could
have a rollcall of who was planning to do it next spring, and how many
days you're expecting to take.
I'm planning to give it a try. Six days; I'm not racing.

If you read Jan's account of the OO in BQ you would find he says a roadish
tire of ~50 mm would be the optimal tire for most of the dirt sections. As
you know, he is the developer and sells the Compass tire line (that he
used) and therefore has a bit of bias towards those tires
I don't use tire wipers http://www.compasscycle.com/tires_wipers_700.html
any longer, since I just don't have enough flats to warrant the noise and
dust they put on the bike. When I raced on 21.5 mm tubulars, I had lots of
flats until I started using tire wipers. Thereafter, only a single flat

In addition to what Mike says, I'd also point out that most people
can't pack as light as Jan did, because most people are going to want
to stop and sleep at some point, so they'll need to bring a sleeping
bag and probably some kind of shelter.
