To keep the already relatively low bottom bracket drop from going down
further, I believe you'd have to use a tire wider than 42mm/1.75". Like a

as a 650b x 42.) In that case, perhaps you'd need wider fenders, and those

Yes, I'm familiar with the published weight limits. I wouldn't put 20 pounds on
either, but if I had to, I'd go with the Nitto's four struts and triangulation,
instead of the bagmans single bolt clamp to the saddle rails.
My experience with the Nitto mini and similar is that the Nitto rating is

Hey Bunch,
As I'm putting together a new build, I realized that my Nitto 32f front
rack and Wald 137 basket aren't going to play nicely with my 40cm wide drop
bars. *If *I can squeeze the basket between the brake levers, there won't
be any room for fingers. :( I ride a smaller frame, so positi
+1 for the VP Vice and VP-001s, but I prefer the Vices. The 001's have pins

For me, the main appeal of the mountain mixte is that it fits a variety of
riders. With an ~80cm PBH, I'm in between a small and medium on many Riv
models. If I were to go small on a Joe or under 50 on a Hunqapillar, I'd be
too cramped to use swept bars, even with a 130mm stem. But if I were go
I replaced my 26" Big Ben front tire with a Thunder Burt. I'm enjoying it!
The TB weighs about half as much as the BB, and the knobs give me a little
more control on loose stuff. Cornering and rolling seem unchanged. I'm

Can you describe the wheelsets/swapping you do? I have a disc bike, and
with high-quality tires in the 650b x 40-50mm range, I don't anticipate
swapping very often, if at all.

Here in D.C., we're into our second week of mid-90s with high humidity, so
the heat index has climbed to 100 a few times ... it was 106 last Thursday.
100 is about where I draw the line. Combined with air pollution, a 15 mile
