[RBW] Re: Smokey with a chance of Scattered Showers
I agree with Erl that shot of the flower in focus with the bike just visible but out of focus is great! I'll be interested in your expanded thoughts of the compass knobbies with your bike packing rig. The 650b version is tempting to try out on my Saluki even though I have very little off pavement riding time right now. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: Smokey with a chance of Scattered Showers
Thanks, Erl! I’ve ridden the Steilacooms all through winter on my Quickbeam, so know them well and thought at the time I want to try bikepacking with them. However, I wanted to baseline my experience with fixed gear bikepacking first, riding 2.1” Thunderburt LiteSkins. I’ve done that, so time to play with the Steilacooms. Austin, I’d estimate the weight of the Thunderburts and tubes is roughly 150g-200g more per wheel. Shirt: I abhore sunscreen, so wear light weight cotton long sleeves. I sweat and/or get them and my bandana wet, and I stay fairly cool in the breeze cycling neturally generates (except climbing uphill on a still or gentle up-hill breeze day — those are HOT! by my wimpy standards. Grin.). With abandon, Patrick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Thanks Patrick. Talking less weight on the rim with the Steliacoms--what were you running that you're comparing them to? And long sleeves? It's almost July! You must be at a high elevation. -Austin On Thursday, June 21, 2018 at 5:07:27 PM UTC-4, Deacon Patrick wrote: > > In which the smoke of forests ablaze shrouds the Peak, a few afternoon > showers cleanse the air, and I prepare to test bikepacking with Steilacoom > tires.
