Had no idea steel tubing had a yield strength of 70ksi. Stronger than typical rebar used in concrete buildings. On Mon, Sep 18, 2017 at 10:38 AM, Bob Ehrenbeck wrote: > Here's a photo of the actual tubing sticker that's on my Clem: > > https://flic.kr/p/AKBQJU > > Bob E >

Re: [RBW] Re: Silver Tubing Info

Hi John, I assume the UTS is ultimate tension strength or stress. I would think the bicycle builder or framer would want it to be less than 70ksi (yield strength limit). Once stress exceed the yield strength, it will basically begin to fail due to buckling or plastic hinge effects happen on the

Re: [RBW] Question about stand over and head tube

Hi Joe, It is definitely a 700c wheel but the bottom bracket may be low compared since it looks somewhat like Steve P has on his. The chain stay is not level with BB and is actually slanted downward to meet the bottom bracket. On Sun, Jan 15, 2017 at 4:21 PM, iamkeith

Re: [RBW] Diff between slick GravelKing and Compass Babyshoe Pass? Looks the same. Described the same.

I don’t ask for much. I just want somebody to ignore all costs to develop and manufacture the best tires in the world and I want them to sell them to me for really really cheap. What’s so hard about that?! Huh? On Wed, Oct 4, 2017 at 9:01 PM, Bill Lindsay wrote: > I

Re: [RBW] Diff between slick GravelKing and Compass Babyshoe Pass? Looks the same. Described the same.

I've also been in search of times that would match the Compass tires without the same high cost. I was working on the assumption that a bigger company with wider distribution channels could offer the same thing for less. Doesn't appear to be the case. The closest alternative is the Soma Supple

Lee Legrand very concisely asked: "Huh?" in response to my sarcastic request for the best tires in the world to be cheap. It was a sarcastic comment. Many many people have learned that better tires are better. Many people believe that Compass tires are the best in the world for their
