Beautiful frame/fork and very nice build.
Do you know the upslope angle of the Top Tube??? Looks fairly steep,
almost as much as a mixte.

It's done! Grant was right, it took me most of the week
Well it's starter done, you know how that goes. Cables are too long because I
might swap the Loscos for the intended Boscos, but this felt really good today.
Still need a fd and another chainring or two, but I'm not in a hurry for that.
If the solutions above don't work, it may require a shorter spindled BB
that would bring the whole crank closer to the bike ($30-ish). If the
current one is 113, you could get a 110 and that should solve your problem.
I would recommend trying the free options first :)
Good Luck!

I recently had a similar experience with the recommended pressures from the
Silca tool - for Snoqualmie Pass tires and rocky fire roads - double pinch flat
on a recent ride.cheers,Andrew

It could just be a funky fd, too. I had one on a 9-speed bike and I don't
remember the cage looking appreciably wide like most 8-speed mechs I've seen.

I think it's about as parallel to the chainrings as I can get it. I think
if I twist it one way or another, it will rub on the opposite end. Thanks
for the advice, though!

I would look at the alignment of the cage with respect to the chainrings.
Would tweaking that do anything? With some setups, I have to give the front
derailleur a little more outward travel. Sometimes that might even lead to the
crank arm ticking against the cage. I friction shift, so make
You might be able to solve this by sliding the derailleur up a bit so the chain

Hi everyone, I recently finished building a Joe Appaloosa that I bought a

could help me with. I built the bike
Oh, I've either purchased or "checked out" ebooks from the library many
times, so that's not an issue. I was just holding out on the price, even
the steeply discounted eBook price on the particular volume in which I was

OK, I frequent an entirely different blog where the moderator has been

Yes I am an e-book fan and have debated with others the merits. I can have a

I also highly recommend the Young James Bond series to any teen

I don't think I would trust the Silca tool. Put in my weight and my bike's
weight - conservatively over estimating both. The tool gave me pressures of
50 & 48psi for rear and front tires respectively.
At those pressures, I have experienced frequent pinch flats.
Namaste,

Sweet build! Congrats to someone out there! James at Analog is building up
my Sam, can't wait! Wondering if Sam's will continue to be produced
post-pandemic? If anyone is looking to unload a small Sam, let me know,
looking to have one built for my partner.

Great deal and beautiful build, in my size and as a fellow Canadian no
less. Unfortunately for me, I have two too many bikes already (also
selling) and no bike funds for the next bit. I hope you do not need to
reduce further to get that thing sold!

I interpret Hillibike as a modern interpretation of a Klunker. Basically
ditching all the new technology, but refining what's left. Anyway, that's
more an esoteric discussion and has little to do with where you can ride

GK,
We all used To ride rigid on singletrack with 2” tires (or skinnier) back in
the late ‘80’s. Front suspension hardtails came along which help a bit with
control on the really rocky stuff. Check out what Yakeen pulls off on an
Atlantis. It’s inspiring (and a great video).
Hi! Glad to meet another member of the Clem family! I have enjoyed riding
my Clem H on trails with steep and long climbs (and descents). The
Rivendell description was accurate in my experience - you ride with the
terrain instead of thru it. For me, this meant paying more attention to
the
I wonder if people actually read and digest that reading? My point, made
several times, has nothing to do with whether her bicycle cost $219 or
$2,119.00. Dollars for donuts, it has already been pointed out that the
bike is "branded" in terms of the city she is mayor of, not an actual brand.
I had checked w/ Paul a year or so agothis was from Gary the sales
fellow
"Rivendell ended up being the only entity that ordered them, and even then
it took several years for them to eventually buy the whole last run, so
from a financial standpoint I don’t think we can do it."
On Thursday,
+! Show them what a well-designed bike can do. You do not need front
suspension to do an off road ride with some singletrack. Or to go fast on
that singletrack. Take off your fenders if so equipped, put on the fat
knobbies, and don't look back!
