I have both also, and the eyelets and polish level seem to be the difference (and label - the Atlas label is nice and pretty, the Nobs label less so in a sort of not quite as ugly as the Surly logo level). I haven't tried the super shiny version of Atlas yet, just the regular shiny. The Nobs

[RBW] Re: Chevoit or Clem jr L

I have both (60cm Cheviot & 59cm Clem L) and disagree that the cheviot is faster/sportier. To me the cheviot rides stouter/stiffer and the clem L feels flexier and "planes" if you believe in that. I prefer the Cheviot for carrying a substantial load (clem L flexes too much) and the Clem L for

Re: [RBW] Dynamo lights

[RBW] Velocity NoBS vs. Atlas?

Can't comment on the rims/differences therein, but in terms of switching one wheel among different bikes that aren't all disc models, I would suggest it's an idea in principle that will rarely be put into practice. Readjusting brakes and presumably moving over lights is time consuming enough to

Re: [RBW] Dynamo lights

I much prefer dynamo hubs to any other system I've used, but others who don't want the cost or expense of dynamo hubs and who don't ride long distances at night might consider bottle and bb-area dynamos. I've only used (a) cheap Union and Sanyo bottles and (b) very expensive, top-end 12 v bottle.
