The font they use for the name on the downtube is an instant turn-off
for me.
Fortunately that name and perceived negative association their marketing
holds, are easily removed.

Cant speak personally, I only ever ran hetres on mine with 52mm fenders. It
was nice to finally fit fenders to a bike without it being a 3 hour
struggle with clearances, ill tell you that much.

I have run Hetres (42mm nominal and true) and Force Field fatty Rumpkins (41mm
nominal and true on Synergy rims) with more than ample room for fenders. I
have run Pacenti Quasi-Motos (nominal 51mm; I never measured true on the rim)
with significant clearance, but never mounted fenders.
NO KIDDING!! That's a deal. (I have the same exact one... and I LOVE IT!!)

Hear Hear, I recently bought a Soma Grand Randonneur to replace my bombadil

Tight welds, nice thick paint, nice alloy headbadge, threading for fenders,
lowrider mounts, double eyelets on the dropouts, etc. Its a great frame,
The best Faux-Badge of all time is the one Mike Varley puts on his Black

I have two Bombadils, an older parallel-undertube and a newer tentacular.
Older takes a 27.2 mm post and newer 26.8 mm.

older one at the chainstays.
I'm using 53 mm tyres (50 mm measured on 31 mm rims) on the older one
There was a mention of these in the Blug but then it was gone. Amazing deal! I

I doubt it's a question of strength. I've never sheared a rack bolt,
I've carried some heavy loads. I prefer stainless for it's better
corrosion resistance but have never had a carbon steel bolt rust in place
either. Note there are a couple of grades of stainless that vary in
corrosion
Keep 'um tight, no worries. I've had zero issues with bolts, and that's
with bouncing down some rough, rocky trails with bikepacking loads.
With abandon,

Let's take a look. The M5 screws that ship with some nitto stuff are marked
10.9 (or grade 8), which is pretty f'n good. Interestingly enough, I've had
rack failures but not at the screw, but at the eyelet of the nitto strut.
And I'm pretty sure it was my fault. :)

Didn't someone (maybe from Riv?) mention the bars on the Rodeo in the BLUG
were Ahearne Map bars? They have a modest sweep back maybe a small
amount of rise but very little. I have the Origin 8 Space bars on my
