Of course you can mount it up front, whether or not you like how it
handles you'll just have to experience for yourself. I have a Franklin
custom bike that takes 25-35mm tires and I tried a Nitto double strut
front/rear rack(a full size Mark's rack essentially) up front and thought

I agree with Toshi’s route. Pretty classic SoCal ride and a very casual
meander on protected bike trails.If you go the south direction, that takes
you through Manhattan, Hermosa and Redondo Beach areas. Just south of that is
the coast of Palos Verdes. That area is also nice but more
Go for it. Visually it’ll balance out the rear rack:-)
Just don’t put much weight on it.

I use a Suntour Cyclone on my Atlantis and am quite happy with it. Was with a
Sugino triple 24/36/46 and 24/38/46 but now with a Silver crank set up as a
quad 19/28/42/45 just for fun. It works. I did have to manipulate the cage
some and file out some material on the Silver shifter bar end
I have a Sugino triple with the same gearing on my Bombadil (previously on
a Sam) and used the IRD Alpina-D on both - worked flawlessly, and most
important - it is silver and shiny.

That derailleur was made for 1980s mountain bikes. The outer chainring
would have been 48 teeth. And since the wheels were 26" 559, the hubs would
be closer to the ground. Plus the bottom bracket would have been higher
than on an Atlantis. So the chain stays would have been closer to
horizontal.
I have the Swift fanny pack and the Roadrunner Lil Guy. I love the
Roadrunner. It's my go to fanny pack for biking.

Thanks, Andy. The stem is the Nitto Hi-Riser Riv sells. The color is growing on

The Osprey Talon 6 works well for me. The front strap is a little thin for

If anyone is interested in riding fixed, I have a 700c wheelset with a
sturmey archer tf two speed fixed gear hub, with a few 12 spline cog
options. Rims are velocity. Front wheel is laced to Harden "bacon slicer

Late to this thread, but I will chip in as I have some recent experience
with plus tires. Last spring, I got a 2018 Salsa Fargo with 27.5 x 3" tires

extensively on the bike on single and multiple day trips, loaded and

Great to hear Scott!
My wife told me I was too hasty, so we shall see. This is the first bike that
is a want not a need, so challenging for me to justify. Apparently, she has
less challenge. Sardonic grin.

I've owned both. In my experience, the tighter and twistier the trail, the
better 27.5+ is. They accelerate better than 29+ wheels. That being said,
29+ wheels do just roll over stuff better, so you're less likely to slow in
the first place.
For dirt roads and pavement, 29+, no question.

Cody: You might just try your Deershead and see how it works. I've used old
Dura Ace fds with rings as small as 38 and hand no problem shifting to and
from rings 14 t smaller (38-24; currently 42-28).
The DA fds do sit just a mm or so above the chainstay when on the inner

I am suspecting that 1) I can’t go wrong between the L and XL; 2) that a 29+

endurance of bikepacking on 1/3 each paved, dirt, and single track the lower
wheel weight of the 27.5+ comes in at a better ballance point of

Meant to add the Cazaderos, depending on who's selling, are within $5 of
the Barlow's, which in my book is a wash.

The bike I ride 85% of the time these days is my roscoe bubbe mtn step thru
with a crust Clydesdale fork and a kid seat on the back. So 85% of the time I
am mostly riding to run errands and go the beach.
I also have an Atlantis that gets ridden the other 15% of the time. Sad, I
know. Hopefully

Jamison, thanks. I did find a Lovely Bicycle post corroborating sizes offered,
at least in 2010, were:
47, 52, 58, 62

Not sure of max tire size though withOUT fenders. Apparently 40mm was max WITH

I thought I remembered that the 60 to 62cm evolution was essentially just one
of their earlier attempts to get bars higher. It only had a slight head tube
extension but other dimensions remained the same.
Although I am sure many will correct me if I am misremembering.

Hello all-
I plan to build up a set of 650b wheels for my commuter as a winter project. I
am looking for a silver, 36 hole, 126 o.l.d., hollow axle, freewheel rear hub.
I can get a new Origin8 one for 30 bucks (and probably will,) but I would
prefer trade something I’m not using than buy new
I definitely have one but won’t be near my hub box for several days. If you
don’t find one by next weekend let me know

You won’t be starting fresh every time. I live in Southern California and

put a little more sealant in.
To get started, at a minimum you’ll need tubeless valve stems and sealant. You
may also need tape for your rims
