[RBW] Anyone run 700x50 tires on a Sam Hillborne?

I am running 700x47 teravails on velocity dyad hoops with a ton of room. I've seen people running the 700x48 Rene Herse knobbies on my same frame. Mine is a 57 and the brakes have more clearance than the frame. So I'm tempted by the Soma Cazadero and or Gravelking SK in a 50. Anyone flown this

700x50 Gravelkings rubbed, but just barely, on my old size 60 Waterford built Sam H. 48 were the best I could do. On Sunday, August 21, 2022 at 6:44:57 PM UTC-4 brenton...@gmail.com wrote: > I am running 700x47 teravails on velocity dyad hoops with a ton of room. > I've seen people running the

You may want to ask yourself why you care if a person with a bicycle wants the biggest possible tires on said bicycle. Your "irrational" may be another person's "perfectly rational", such are the vagaries of life. HAHA!!! On Sunday, August 21, 2022 at 5:56:14 PM UTC-7 Garth wrote: > Well

The best Rivendell for brevets is obviously a custom Rivendell designed for brevets. I understand the waiting list isn't crazy long. :) I've done a few 200k and populaires, and had taken everything from my custom Rivendell that was designed for brevets, to my commuter Toyo Atlantis complete

Re: [RBW] Randonneuring Bike

Hi Dick, Because the 200k-400k rides would be done in all one shot without sleep stops, I think a Roadeo/Roadini would work great with a rear seatbag (Riv saddlesack or Revelate) and a small handlebar bag. My Roadeo is set up more aggressively than my rando bike, but I have ridden 20+ hour rides

Re: [RBW] Anyone run 700x50 tires on a Sam Hillborne?

Hi Brenton, Big Ben 50s are the absolute limit of what fits on my 62 cm Hillborne. Bike rides great with them! You might be able to go to the Riv site and see the actual width of those tires as read on calipers. I’ll bet it’s something under 50 mm. - Jimmy > On Aug 21, 2022, at 3:45 PM,

[RBW] Legolas Help

The Legolas, as I recall it, was a RBW CX bike. Thin walled tubing, snappy handling, higher BB. Not a tourer, but a neat design. They had to stop production I believe because of a C/D from the Tolkien estate? Does any one here know which Riv Reader it's scouting report is best profiled within,

Well you're only about the 5000th person to ask this over the years .. and as always the answer is the same . "well do ya' feel lucky today ?" Some people are okay with a couple of mm's clearance, most are not. Just ask yourself, what are you really gaining, is a few mm's really going

Joe, it’s the easiest thing ever. You’ll catch on to our citizens-of-God’s-Country-ways. They gave me a choice of two different-sized bags - a half bushel or a peck. I looked at the size of the bag, chose the bigger and filled it up. Flat fee of $30. You’ll encounter something similar - a

In my experience, all of the U pick places charge by weight when you're done. My younger son and I had some nice rides this summer to our local wild blackberry patch to pick some when they were in season. Free! Eric On Sun, Aug 21, 2022 at 1:11 AM Joe Bernard wrote: > I have a question about
