This thread is so good I just needed to let everyone know how much I
enjoyed reading it. My immediate thought was as others then said, to lower
the tyre pressure and then get rid of those tyres ASAP.
Loaded bikes vs. unloaded bikes is a very real and noticable thing also. My

Hey all!
I am on the hunt for a 58cm to 60cm or so Rivendell *something*! My only
requirements are as follows:
1) Double Top-Tube
2) Canti / Linear Pull Brakes
3) Minimum Tire Clearance of 40mm
I am literally up for whatever. I used to have a black/cream Sam Hillborne

Jim,
You are not imagining things. I have a Surly Cross-Check that has been
used as a commuter, grocery-getter, randonneur, single-speed and as a
cyclo-tourer. When I had it configured as a tourer I had it fairly heavily
laden in front (2 large Ortlieb backroller panniers + Tubus Tara) with
I think I have an idea. The stiff tubing on your Clem wasn't flexing
without a load. Bikes work best when they flex a little, your other bikes
weren't as stiff, the extra weight allows the Clem to "plane". I've heard
Jan Heine talk about stiffer bikes needing more weight to ride better.

May does a good job explaining things, even to pillocks. In my work I often
have to "translate" reams of technical gobbledygook not only into ordinary
language, but into 2-line sentences, and I do appreciate the language -- or
better, conceptual -- skill of explaining complexities clearly and

Adding my tiny clamor to the general hubub (not Hubbuhubbuh): I've done
this for years with 7, 8, 9, and 10 speed cassettes. Currently
I shift a 1X10 (with granny bailout) using Suntour bar cons and a 7 or 8
speed rd (Dura Ace 7401), and it works surprisingly well despite the
shifter and
Pretty wild not only for this wheel to end up on the sidewalk but for
someone who know what it was to call Rich! Hopeful for the wheel's reunion
with its bike.

For some reason this stuck in my head as "fender stays," which I cut with a
pair of Knipex diagonal cutters and finish with a file.
For the much more robusto rack stays: +1 on the bandsaw and belt sander if
you have access!

Man, what a great bike! (Not my size)
Hillbornes ride so well, pavement or dirt. And cool original color and great
lugs!

This Sam has mixed it up in some terrain, but it’s good to go for many,
many more miles. Don’t expect perfection, but everything works as it
should. It’s a great bike, and it’s a little too small for me (5’11” & 86cm
PBH).

Jim M, thanks for sharing that about the 52 Clem. I had wondered how a 52
would feel. I can't help thinking the 55 Atlantis would be perfect, though
I'm hesitant to spend that money on a new bike for all the reasons people
have said.
Really appreciate all the comments and advice. I've
Yes, of course it will work. I have a friction 9 speed set up on my
Rivendell and, yes, it is a little fussy, but it works incredibly smoothly
and I have a clutch derailleur. I use the Silver1 shifter because it's
longer and therefore slightly more precise IMHO.
On my other bike, I have a

There's something making my mind explode about a man standing in front a
Ferrari working on a bike with 105. But maybe that's just to say 105 is
really amazing and rim brakes are still king :)

Perhaps not quite as fat as you are looking for but this guy discusses a few
26x2.3 folding tires.

I used an earlier version of that Michelin Pilot over a few years and over 2500
miles or so and was pleased with how they rode and and held up.

Friction shifting 11 speeds is easier than friction on 9. Shifting isn’t
fussy at all.
I have a silver downtube shifter. The throw of the shifter is maxed out -
it’s parallel to the down tube at each end of the throw, but that’s fine.

I run a box components 9 speed wide range cassette 1x and have experienced
no issues or any desire to run a larger cassette. I have used microshift
, dura ace and sunrace shifters. I have recently switched to indexed
shifting and am not sure I will be going back to friction any time soon.
Thanks Collin

Jim, the bike may seem "too big" , but is it really or are you simply
comparing it to your other bikes and equating that with "too big", "a
lumbering hulk" ? Your Clem is what it is, so rather than comparing it and
thus diminishing it, play around with it. I've seen many a tales here how
