I've spent more than I care to admit on bicycles and bicycle upgrades over
the years. But, that's part of the fun of it as a hobby and I would not
begrudge anyone spending on their bikes. We aren't all bike mechanics or
know how to install parts, etc. And, that's okay. LBShops can certainly use
First, that price for that much labor - and how well it came out - is
practically free! Second, remind me to pay up next time instead of doing the
build myself. After finishing up my custom - which took AGES - and dealing with
the results of my arthritic wrenching hand doing stuff it would

Thanks, I’m glad you like it. A lot of care went into putting it all together,
and especially since the shop hadn’t seen parts like these come to their work
stand before.
I consider it generally bad form to delve into one’s income level, so I will

Cool story! It's awesome that that shop was able to appreciate the bike,
and took such care in doing the work. That is a really nice build. That
being said, I can't imagine how much you spent on all this! One reason I am
able to afford the bikes I have is I can build them myself, which is a
Beautiful! I love all the colors.

If the sound is coming from the rear it's probably coming from the spring
loaded pawls in cassette body rubbing against the ratchets when you coast.
From what I've read, Bitex uses 6 pawls; many manufacturers have only
three. The noise varies all over the place. Shimano hubs are almost
Shoot, Mark, I didn’t answer your questions. The sound comes from the rear hub;
it’s a Bitex, and it sounds like a fishing rod. Rimsummm...the shiny kind!

I just got back from a 10.7 miler. It was great. My dyno is the best thing ever
and It’s such a treat. My tires/wheels are terrific. I love them. I am going to
jump on the Clem H after awhile and see how great the difference is. The
changes I’ve made make my Clem more manageable for me. I don’t

Leah will ONLY be showcasing the Next Level Clem in NDS photos.
Why? Because the old dumb DS rule covered up the Next Level Clem’s best feature
- its wild hubs.

Eric, you know what that hub shiner is good for? When I put the bike on my bike
rack, the arm comes down and presses into the frame to hold it. I position the
hub shiner right under the arm bar to be a buffer for the paint. Otherwise,
it’s just a lovely leather cuff - and most days, I wear a
That's a really cool next level bike. Oh, and I am totally stealing your
hub shiner on the upper tube of the bike. Was trying to figure out what to
do with mine.
The bike has a great color combination. And the wheels are a great
compliment. Will want to hear your opinions on tubeless. I
It's s rad! What impressed/surprised me the most is how clean and classy it
still looks with all that color added. I mean I expected it to be great, but
for some reason I pictured the wheels being way up front, ya know? Like "Hi I'm
a really bright bike!" But it doesn't do that, it's still
Leah, I loved reading about your experiences with the Clem and I am so glad
that it turned out just like you wanted. I am a big fan of Candice and
James and I am lucky enough to live only an hours drive away to their
little Sugar House in the woods. The bike looks fabulous! Congrats!

Absolutely love the new wheelset and tires. Must have knocked a good bunch
of weight off the Clementine. I plan to do something quite similar to mine
- and mine will be purple & gold!

It looks extra wonderful. Those silver clamps, compared to zip ties, are
so classy. Love the rainbow nipples. Most of all, though, I love that the
front dyno is red with an orange light and on the back, you have an orange
hub with a red light. So nicely pulled together.

Mark - do I really deserve the weight weenie label if I have 2 handlebar bags
and front AND rear racks?
I’m starting to think of this bike as the Clem of Many Colors, but Kaleidoscope
Klem definitely works, too...
