Re: [RBW] Adventure Novels

Hi Steve (UK) here. Touching the Void by Joe Simpson (non-fiction) The film is gripping, true to the story and very realistic- the book is even better. In 1985, two young climbers, Joe Simpson and Simon Yates, set out to be the first to reach the summit of the Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes.

Recently I noticed the book, *The Long Walk*, in a thread with a holiday flyer linked, or an older catalog maybe. I'm enjoying the true story. Years ago, I was at Bike, Book, & Hatchet and Grant recommended *In the Heart of the Sea* and a book about the Galveston hurricane. And one other I just

This question did not generate much response on the iBoblist, and perhaps the RBW-listers will be more forthcoming. My question put simply is this: Will my "non-tubeless-but-adapted-(with multiple wraps of Stan's tape)-rims* work well enough in the long term for a tubeless (Naches Pass) setup, or

These aren't complicated wrapping patterns at all, but I like to mess around with new color combinations and wraps on a regular basis. A good source of interesting color combinations are plaid patterns. You can find a lot of interesting color combinations / harmonies / contrasts in those
