Thanks, Joe

Yeah, I called them last night and they said Nittos weren’t really wide enough, 
consider Tubus.  I think I am being immature and in denial, about a bike rack.  
Hmm.

[RBW] Racks for Hubbuhubbuh

2019-06-17 Thread Paul Burns
I've read all the older posts I can find, but would appreciate an update:  
what beautiful silver rack are you running on a Hubbuhubbuh with disc drag 
brake?  Ideally my rack would be Nitto and Riv-supplied (I know MG is 
running a Nitto R15)

My goal:  not touring, just to be able to carry two bags of groceries seven 
miles, once a week.

Thank you

I pre-ordered a green Clem L for my wife.  

(My son has a silver one a size up that I secretly ride and love.  When I gave 
it to him he said, Really, it’s for me?  SICK! (Apparently current young slang 
for surprising/unusual and excellent))

It is a surprise for my wife and I cannot wait til it is here, she will love 
it.  I’m getting it Riv fully stock built, adding a Pletscher rack and 
basket/Mark’s rack, Grip Monarchs and SKS P65 fenders from Riv.  Will use her 
grey Brooks B12 with titanium rails bought from Riv 19 years ago and BOB’S YOUR 
UNCLE.

If I were ordering one for myself, I would get that pretty blue.  Or I wish I 
were ordering a Cheviot in that color for myself.  But I bought three bikes 
this month and need to take a few deep breaths.

Looking for tires for HHH, 70% on paved road, 30% dirt roads.  Would really 
prefer tan sidewall.   Compass sound great, but am concerned re 
flats/durability.  Considering WTB Horizon 47 and Panaracer GravelKing 48.  
Which would be better?  Any other (wider) suggestions?

Also:  am assuming tubed is the way HHH riders go, but happy to be educated.

20% on dirt roads in the rural hills of Berkshire County, Massachusetts,

[RBW] Tires for 2000/2001 Toyo Atlantis with 50mm SKS fenders

How wide do you think I can go?  

Would Compass Snoqualmie Pass (700Cx44) work?  And if so, are they too delicate

Any views on Soma Shikoro 42mm?  Panaracer Gravel Kings (only go up to 38mm in 
700C)

Will be riding mostly on country roads, but sometimes dirt with rocks (c. 
1.5-2inches) the townships use to patch the dirty roads.

I wish I had bought 65 mm fenders...and had 650B wheels!

Thank you
