Just a semi-related observation:
One of the things I noticed the other day I'd fired up the MapMyRide
app, which used to just have bike/run/walk, etc then later it added
road bike, and mountain bike.
So my surprise was, it had multiple categories: Road Cycling, Mountain
Bike,
I also use the VO decaleur that mounts in the headset stack, paired with a
Nitto Mark's rack and an Acorn rando bag, all on a 55cm Sam. The system
works brilliantly, even off pavement. The combination of the decaleur,
tombstone loop on the bag, and four under-bag velcro straps is rock solid.
Hi Rivish folk.
My old knees have determined that I need to standardize on 170mm cranks.
Therefore, I have 2x 175s for sale.
Thanks for looking.

longer fit my fenders between the fork and these rather tall and fat studded
snow tires. Any suggestion on how to stay dryish this winter? I have about
1mm between the top of the tire and the fork crown!

Looking for a set of Paul Racer Mediums, any finish, 47-57mm reach.
Non-recessed mount would be optimal, but I understand I can change the bolt

Studs on in October! You're really getting the jump on Old Man Winter :-)
I had the same issue last winter on my Cross Check, and I'm thinking
MTB-style clip-on fenders are the route I need to go this upcoming year.
Ugly as sin but possibly the only alternative.

Cut the fender into two parts, and mount the sections in front of and behind
the fork crown.

I've had success with vinegar on high carbon or non stainless knives for

Andy makes some great suggestions, i know this started as a question around
hatchet injuries but i would push everyone to carry a minimal first-aid
kit. I speak about this from experience, last year i was riding back from
errands through a small park that included a wooden bridge crossing.
I like my glasses!

I'd say the tires are too big for that bike. There's the Nokian A10 in 650b,
which is much smaller, actual 35mm width. Might not be the aggressive tread and
studs you need, but it's probably the better tire for the bike if you want to
run fenders. Also, to keep in mind, fenders will easily fill
no offense, Johan, the one you show has been tightened to overload. As I
said in my prior post, it solved a problem for me. It's not my 100% seat
post clamp, it simply adds the little more that was lacking. As I
mentioned in my prior posting, it solved a problem for me - successfully.

I'd call that bar a flat bar. (It's not a straight bar, in the way that
some mountain-bike bars can be jackhammer-handle straight, but that's
another matter.)

I had a regular thump thump in a 650 B supple tire. But it went away when
the supple sidewall had an explosive blowout. I have since used hypetex
(kevlar) reinforced sidewalls.
You may want to check the integrity of your sidewalls for any signs of
delamination.

Ron that's a pretty nice collection! Do any of the knives pair particularly
well with a certain bike or does it just depend on the bag you grab?
I would think linseed oil would be a nice touch on the opinel handle with or
without the heat treatment but I've got no first hand experience.

Noah, Sorry to hear about your flooding.We all watched it unfold on T.V.
Sorry you have to part with your bike. If it was a couple of sizes smaller

I hope you still have a bike to ride.

Hey folks,
Dunno... but it doesn't look like a bar that will lay flat on a table in
any orientation. Many bars do, even my Bullmoose bars, but the ones on that
Roadeo look to have sweep away from the stem and bend back toward the hands
that are not co-planar. Still, I bet they ride nice. :-)

OK, my bad. Next time, I will be sure to use the term FLAT-ISH to
describe bars that are pretty flat but that will fail to lay flat on a
table in at least one orientation. I promise. I don't want to get loose
with terminology. :-)
