What is the most critical limiting factor for the AHH load capacity? Is it the
frame strength, the fork, the headset, or the wheels? In other words, if I
went with a bomb-proof set of 36-hole hubs, could I double the bike's capacity
(from stock ~25# to ~50#)? Would like to use the bike for
Another consideration for extensive touring with 50lbs, I'd probably go with a
frame that handled a little less quickly at very slow speeds while going uphill
with that amount of weight. I was surprised how sporty the handling was on my
new AHH (with Jack Brown 33's), and I have always had

Yes sounds like a great trip. The QB is a great touring bike if you
know the route and plan your gearing appropriately.
I have an emergency 22t freewheel on the flip side of my hub for
really steep stuff, but I still had to push on my last trip.
Did you have to resort to that anywhere?

FWIW, this appears to be the same bike that did not sell on the bay last week.
it had a minimum bid of 900, a reserve and a buy it now of 1500. No bids when
it closed. .

I recently purchased a new 56 Sam Hillborne and selected 32mm Pasela
Tourguards when the bike was being built. After riding the thing
almost daily for the past month and doing just a tiny bit of trail
riding while out, I believe that I should've listened the folks at Riv
and purchased the
congrats on your new ride. i saw a hillborne this week, and it's a
smart bike for sure!
are you uncomfortable on the 32s? are you running an appropriate psi
for your weight?
going from 32 to 33.3 isn't much of a change. and, in my opinion,
rider skill is more important than rubber on loose
My bike is somewhat similar to yours. My favourite tire for some years
is the panaracer t-serv in 32. Its profile is a bit rounder than the
paselas and is has a bit more profile. It's a tiny bit heavier than
the pasela and has robuster sidewalls. Here are the tires with a 45mm
mudguard
You can't go wrong with orange!

Dry cleaning is expensive and relatively inefficient. In my
experience, wool can be washed with cold water and a very spare amount
of soap.You just have to be careful about drying it-I usually
just lay it on a flat surface such as a table, and let it dry. You
shouldn't have to wash

Hey All,

advertised. I also have a QB with Pasela (non Tourgards) which are a
nominal 32 mm but actually measure about 30 mm. So, if the only
variable you're comparing is width, the difference between 30 and 33.3
is significant. I've only

but I do have a lot of
