Funny, I just ordered a 135 QR Vesper for rim brakes. The Vesper is the
only 135 rim brake option, according to the person I talked to on the
phone. That option is not on their website, which stumped me for years. I
just told them today, "Take it off the secret menu and put it on the

Well, this should ease the burden on my Clementine a bit. I have 81 miles left
until I reach my 2,020 mile goal for 2020 - all done on that Clementine. And
did you see the weight thread about the Clem L? Whew.
Welcome, Platypus!

You've got some riding to do then. So far, the half-life of a Rivendell is
still an open question. If you keep buying new ones, you'll never know.

Wow, congratulations! A pre-production Platypus in a custom color!!
Beautiful. And I'm glad to hear it, as I was tempted just by the luscious
color alone. This will be one fabulous bicycle.

Be careful with that basket setup. The diving board on your front rack is

Hi Nate,

I've done light camping with AHH. For me, AHH did get squirrelly with
heavier loads that my Hunqapillar could handle without fuss.

I would like to build a rear wheel for my 2020 Atlantis with an Onyx hub. I
am debating between their newer Vesper model and older model. My priority
is a durability over weight, within reason.
Onyx has a new model out, Vesper, which is apparently lighter than their
older model by 200g.
I bought a Nitto one recently and really love it. It is strong enough and
also floats the rear wheel high enough to do simple drivetrain work.
