Hi Leah
Always enjoyable to read of your adventures. You can ride your racing Platy
if you borrow a tire from one of the other bikes.

Take your Clem, ride with the slower group if need be.
I rode mine for about 3 hours today and enjoyed every minute of it.

Joe - the chain is rarely, if at all, on the smallest cog next to the chain

first introduced a narrower chain back in the late 70's in order to
Huh, I'm stumped. It crunches under hard pedaling and this time the chain
snapped, which sounds like the chain wanted to keep going and something

Joe - I thought about that and have since replaced the chain, but in all

the bike; I replaced the one with which the bike shipped with another (same

Bill - you raise a good point. None of the cogs wiggle, but I can't
remember if they're keyed as they slide onto the free hub splines. Looking
at the way the teeth on the cogs are arranged as the free hub turns makes
me wonder if they get into a certain position and "think" they need to
It could be anything but what I think we know now is the chain is busted
and chain and cassette are both probably pretty old. Based on my
supposition - pulled out of thin air - that your chain never mated well
with that cassette I would replace both now and see what happens.

Another Clem vote here. They've seen a Platypus so show them another

I think the Clem is the way. Maybe you're a little slower this week and
they can wait a minute, maybe Leah Peterson is a maniac who's just as fast
on a Clem! Let's find out!!!

Hi Doug, thanks for the nice write up. CeeCee looks great!
About the Silver2 shifters: I’ve had the same problem of gears slipping. I
find that I have to tighten the D ring screw so much to prevent slipping
that it makes it hard to move the shift levers. I haven’t thought of using
thread lock.
In my opinion, take the Clem. Just because it is the more beautiful bike
(again, IMO.) However, you may consider taking a tire or the entire rear
wheel off of either one, and swapping it onto the racing Platy for a little
while.

Just to rule it out, grab a middle-ish cog in the cogset and give it a
wiggle. Does it wiggle relative to the other cogs or are they all really
secure relative to one another? If it wiggles, then maybe the lockring is
loose. If the lockring is tight but the cogs
WTB the Paul Silver thumbie mount. Only need the right, but would take the
set.

Nice Doug! I am not sure if I have seen photos of the second Clem! I am
going to give those grips a chance I think. I have used other Ergon grips
and liked them.

I now have several hundred miles on my Clem Smith Jr so wanted to share
some thoughts. I feel like I'm cruising around when I ride so I call it my
Clem Cruiser, or CeeCee for short. I've never named a bike but CeeCee may
work. Is it fast or slow? Those aren't the right questions to ponder. Am I
That Clem H is great! Can't wait to get a handful of years of adventure and
tape on it. What headlamp are you using?

Bill - thanks for the quick response. Bill asks...
*(have you been) riding the same SRAM 971 chain for 18 years, and you
actually ride the bike a decent amount, (if so) your entire drivetrain is
likely toast. Is that what's going on? Or, do you replace your chain
frequently, and the noise
George indicates that he's had a loud clunking or crunching sound coming
from his bike for 18 years under hard pedaling. He asks "what the heck
gives?"
Have you tried to address it in any way? What have you tried?
Generally these "my bike makes sounds I don't like under hard pedaling"
The low is the way to go, here's my 65 high for

Sturdy bike for sure, rides a lot bier than other 65s out there.

Ever since I've owned my Ram I've had a unique, loud clunking or crunching
sound coming from the drive train, especially when I started from a
standing stop or occasionally when hammering up an incline. I used to
associate it with the "ghost shifting" phenomenon as posters here referred
to
oh! you are right - 64. I think I measured seat tube center to top which is
about 65 and it stuck in my brain :)
The length is only 25mm difference between the 59 and the 64. That was my
biggest determining factor, as Will confirmed the seatpost would be able to
be low enough to accommodate
“6’1” on a 65 Clem Smith Jr?!”, is what I said to myself in disbelief ,
but seeing the photo wiped away my fears. To be overly technical, 65s only
came in H, H as in the top tube was all the way there, and as someone on
the upper end of the 6’s with a 65 Clem H, I feared for your abrupt stops…
Hope everyone's having a great Memorial Day weekend. Just wanted to give this
cockpit one more bump to see if anyone here is interested before I send it to
the 'Bay. Cheers,

I do have a Needle-Blaster HS on my Norther-Lyon. The way Garth described
it is the way I assembled it. Seems to work fine.
The Steel Race goes between the top of the needle bearings and below the
Bottom Cup. The Bottom Cup does not have a race for the needle bearings.

I was gonna buy one too Drew and wondered just that. I had a Stronglight
needle bearing headset way back when and forgot how it went. Based on the
image of the IRD Double Roller Drive yes, that's how the assembly goes.
