If the Sam is just a smidge long in the cockpit with Noodles then I wouldn't go shorter on the stem for pullback bars, the reach is VERY different from drops. If you have a 26.0 stem clamp now you can mount a 25.4 Bosco or Choco with a shim. This will give a good starting point without buying

Hey Ben, I mounted a new pair of Gravelking slick 700c x 38's on my single speed bike about two months ago and am really liking them a lot. I ride mostly paved country roads with a bit of smooth dirt trails thrown in. They measure 37.5mm on 23mm rims (outer width). Hope that helps. Cheers,

Hi Richard - since I don't fit a 62, I can offer an impartial opinion ;) I run Noodles on my Sam but required a 5cm stem for the fit to be right. Some would say that needing such a short stem means the bike doesn't fit me but I wholeheartedly disagree - the short stem gives it a longer

Is that hub currently 130 spacing and they're going to widen and redish with a longer freehub and axle? Your Homer has 135 spacing so I don't see a problem here, an 11-speed cassette/hub/wheel should fit fine. Joe Bernard On Saturday, November 6, 2021 at 1:18:19 PM UTC-7 jkg...@gmail.com
