Lots of good stuff in this review. I'm happy to finally know that the head tube angle is 69 degrees. That seems about right, and having someone corroborate the ride qualities I've been experiencing with my Gus: 1. The handling is twitchy (for a Riv) but it's really easy to change how the bike

Thanks again to everyone for sharing specifications and philosophies. Putting in a nice ride this weekend on plenty of unpaved stuff my 44mm Snoqualmie Pass extralights were comfortable and suited for the ride. Now that I've heard from a lot of people running tires in the mid to high 30s I'd

Thanks, Bob. Yes, right to roam would be lovely and could be really helpful for riders looking to stay off the bigger roads! I've heard that in some Scandi countries (forgive me for not being specific) you can camp in any open space and trespassing is defined as something like "you can get

I have Gravelking Slicks in 38 on my Sam and I really like them but want more width the next time I buy tires for it. I JUST put on Snoqualmie's on my Atlantis and already prefer them over the Shikoros I had used for two years. I can see getting another pair for the Sam when the GKs are worn

I’ve used sidepulls and took no issue with them. I can’t claim to have experienced any night and day differences. I just find that Paul center pulls and levers have the best feel. They also maximize your clearances, look sharp, and probably provide more powerful braking. In my opinion, they

Roberta, It’s interesting to see that the Homers reach 43” at the 54.5 cm size. I am interested in wheelbase numbers for the exact same reason, although I live in a suburb. Riding around, and especially commuting, is a lot more convenient if I have the option of riding the bus back home or to the
