David - I second the praise for your Black Mountain MonsterBeam. That's a well-dialed machine. Patrick - I have an old-style ENO hub for sale.vFixed/free, silver, 135mm, smooth bearings. 32h is probably a no-go for you, but the flanges are tall, and the bracing angle is wide and symmetrical.

Been using an Ironweed for at least 5 or 6 years. They're cheap compared to others. Also have a tendency to collapse in on themselves so you have to be careful with the plastic liners (which are replaceable). Carry a lot and are tough. They're cheap comparatively. I know I said that but I'm

The BMC has long dropouts, kind of like the QB, but forward facing. You just slide the wheel back and forth to tension the chain. On my BMC, I can make up a 4-5 tooth difference by doing this. I second David's suggestion. The BMC is a great bike. On Sun, Nov 26, 2017 at 8:51 PM, Deacon Patrick
