$51 for Extra Leger Lierres, $37 for regular ones, per current exchange rates on xe.com, that's pretty good. How do you get them shipped to the US? The Grand Bois site is very Japanese heavy. When I try to use Google Translate it tells me the page is already in English. On Sun, Jul 17, 2016 at

Re: [RBW] Less expensive 650b alternatives to Compass/GB tires?

The quest for cheep and "good enough" often costs more than "spectacular." Why? Spectacular is accomplished by so few, there are 1-4 in any given market and slight research will narrow that down to 1-2 for specific desires. But everyone does "cheep" and claims some version of "good enough."

Always good to see your world and the rides, Patrick. I still laugh when I recall the dual perspective reports of the trail ride of the ride up to Rampart you took Patrick Moore on the other year. Andy Cheatham Pittsburgh On Saturday, July 16, 2016 at 6:24:37 PM UTC-4, Deacon Patrick wrote:

It is sad that they are closing. Maybe it is the economy-to-price-of-goods ratio these days. I don't know. I think it is difficult to sell bikes/parts in the USA these days. If you have read the Rivendell readers, you know of RBW's struggles through the years. Quality cycling gear is a very

I just responded to a similar question on the 650b group: 1. Schwalbe Kojak. In 650b/27.5 size, it comes in 1.35" width. And these tires measure ~ 34mm on Synergy rims. 2. Soma B-line. I have never seen these measure more than 37mm, even on the wide-ish Pacenti SL23 rims. 3. as a replacement
