Hey cyclotourist - and all
Sorry to come in late on this. Velocity replaced my rear rim.
The first time I saw it seemed to be an electrolysis issue which is how I

Agreed. I do wonder if my Ram has a future as a touring bike. The fork
would need more attachment points - or maybe a different fork.
It's quite overbuilt in its present config as a stripped-down, go-fast type

If you don't mind pumping at least every week, Challenge cross latex tubes
can open your eyes even further. They make a noticeable difference in ride
(and speed), though sometimes on a whoopteedoo will make you feel like a
bouncing ball . I use Schwalbe for backup - I buy tubes en masse from
Looks like aluminum to me, but the amount is probably so little, and
absorption rates through skin so small, compared to other sources that you
are probably ingesting or absorbing into your bloodstream via other routes
(e.g., smoking), that it's probably of no consequence.

The Roadeo won't take 38's, certainly not with fenders. I think 35s are the
tops. I was riding 32s for a while but now am running 25s, but I'm
