Hi Hugn, nope not running the Cazaderos. Nothing against them one bit, just looking to see how broad the selection is out there, see if I'm overlooking anything... and if the selection really is only the Caz and the R, well, then, that's wayyy fewer options than I'd hoped. Thanks. On

David, I think Jeffery nailed it. For my Hilsen the Cazadero's are pretty much it. I think the R's are a mm too large. Waiting on a set of Cazadero's to mount soon. I wish there were more options but as Jeffery said above the 27+ has taken over, were in a pocket universe for cross type tires in

Search away .. but none you will find. I wish someone would prove me wrong, though. For a minute I really thought that would be the next direction in 650b tires: WTB's, Challenge, etc. .. but it looks like the Plus (+) craze has shifted the market away. First came the 29's, then 27.5's and

[RBW] Re: Best rear support rack for med sadlesack?

I'm skeptical that the rack in the original post would work, especially since the fender boss in the hunq's seatstay bridge faces the axle (i.e., points downwards). With a Mark's rack, don't forget that the tombstone might hit your saddle rails, depending on your frame size and your saddle

Not sure if it falls under "knobby/cross" but the lowly Panaracer Col de la Vie does have more of a micro knob tread, not too unlike some of the file tread tires that have come out. About 35mm actual or slightly wider depending on rim. I used them when I first did a 650b conversions, did some

I use a front porteur type carrier with a big Wald on a high trail bicycle. I originally got it when I put my daughter in a seat on the rear rack, and couldn't use my rear rack, or a backpack because it was in her face. I have a longish bicycle, though not Clem long. It works fine. I have even
