[RBW] Re: Road Hunq?

i had the snoqualmie pass 44s on my hunq but they were way smaller than i expected so i took them off instantly and went back to 55 big bens. it just felt inappropriate to have such a small tire on there, and i have a true road bike so i am not relegated to making a dirt touring bike into one.

[RBW] Fenders for 700c Hunqapillar

Hello, I am going on LA>SF tour this January, and I want to explore my fender options before it's too late. I will be using 50mm tires and it seems like one rule of thumb people use is to use a fender that's 10mm wider than the tire size. So, in my case, I want a 60mm wide fender according to

thanks for all your replies. my PBH & SH are exactly the same as iamkeith. 87 & 76, respectively. i'm thinking the 60cm will probably be good then. On Monday, October 17, 2016 at 6:08:45 PM UTC-7, adam leibow wrote: > > hello ! > > recently i sold my too-small 56cm a homer h

hello ! recently i sold my too-small 56cm a homer hilsen, and have been looking to replace it with something similar, but larger, so that less seatpost shows and it fits a bit more traditionally/rando-y. i contacted a seller on ebay about his 60cm rambo and he agreed to sell to me as a

i got myself a hunqapillar as my first rivendell, and selected and inspected an ogre for my dad, which he now rides daily and loves. honestly, this is a great "problem" to have because they are both great bikes. however, hunqapillar screams "forever bike" way more than ogre. the versatility of

thanks! they ride sharp too! i love them, but they max out this frame, and i wouldn't be surprised if they didn't even fit when paired with a wider rim. they are not as supple as a compass but seem to offer a little more resilience in return. On Sunday, August 28, 2016 at 8:01:02 PM UTC-7,
