[RBW] Re: Clem PreSale

Pancake; technically, you could be right, but legality or letter of law might be less of an issue than simple prudence. It's been my experience that just because the law might be on your side doesn't mean someone can't threaten legal action. And in this case, resulting legal action could

Thanks for sharing! Not sure if this is always the case but, often, theres a noticeable difference between oem and retail tires. The tread is usually identical but the construction is different. I learned this by buying a bike with tires that are Folding/TC in the retail version and wire

Eric, the b pics are wonderful.  So cool to be able to develop and print yourself. Several decades back I took a photography class which covered this process and other aspects of photography. It really helped me understand the process and learn a few things. My biggest takeaways I still retain

Thanks! I enjoy being able to process film myself. It’s also a whole lot less expensive—I can process a roll of color film for about $1 in chemicals. I used to process film and make prints in a darkened bathroom/darkroom when I was in high school some 40+ years ago. Doing film photography now

Like others have expressed I also contemplate while riding my bike. Some of my best thinking is probably done while riding. The subject of the end of life is also something I think about. I often pray for protection on my rides as the risk is there my life could be ended while riding. It's a

[RBW] Re: Gravel & Dirt: New blog about equipment

Thank you for the encouragement. As to the difference between OEM and retail tires I can see using a wire bead instead of folding to reduce the cost. That's not the case here. All the tires we tested have folding beads. I'll add that to the specs. If a different casing is used you'd expect the

Thanks, Zed. I'm guessing therefore, that the newer Clem L has a longer effective toptube and less need for a long-extension stem. Our 2015 Clem L (correctly sized at 52 cm) has a cockpit that feels pretty crowded--even with Dimension HiRise bar and a Dirt Drop stem. I like to ride moderately

[RBW] Clem frame geometry differences

Depends now on H or L, the published geos for the Hs are still the same, if I remember right. The new Ls get longer effective top tubes, longer chainstays, and a slightly shallower headtube angle to match, I believe. If this works it should be a copy of the original 2015 geos for the Clems and

Hi, I have the latest geo Clem L (I call it a Clementine) from 2019. It’s in the shop so I can’t take measurements for you, but I can tell you a few things that you may find helpful. 1. Wheelbase on the 52 is just a hair shy of 50 inches. It’s LONG. 2. I needed a 50 mm stem to get the bars

Re: [RBW] Clem frame geometry differences

Dave, the newest Clem L chart lists the 52 as having a 65.5 effective toptube, which is somewhat deceiving because the head angle will shoot the bars way back but still..pretty big. OTOH a DirtDrop is a really short stem intended for dropbars, I would definitely start with swapping stems on the

Re: [RBW] Clem frame geometry differences

The response from Leah should be most helpful as she has ridden both. I haven't ridden either but can tell from photos that the new Clementine is long. In fact, when I emailed Will about sizing he said the 52 would work for me unless I wanted a really big bike under me with the 59. I guess

[RBW] Re: He Ain't Heavy, He's My Clem Smith L('il Missy)

I haven't noticed it being so bad. It may be because there is a decent amount of clearance--these are 700C 63mm fenders over 650b tires, so extra width and depth. I guess it's also a matter of tread--maybe some patterns pull the pebbles up into the rotation more than others? If I could
