Jim, You scored with the matching bar tape and tires. Also digging the small touches like the headset spacer in orange and the Paul skewers. -Patrick On Sunday, May 28, 2017 at 1:05:20 PM UTC-4, Jim S. wrote: > > I attached a couple of photos. Picked it up Friday night. Rode Friday and > Satu

Very nice. This photo should be sent to the boblist thread about fender with knobby tires! Am I right in thinking that the Riv tandem has an especially long wheelbase? I recall a Bicycling or Bicycle Guide story from 25+ years ago, about a roadie father who took his 8-9 year old son as stoker on

We will have to see pictures of that combo Jim S. I saw that orange and it's wild. I went with the Schwalbe Super Motos. They look like big fat motorcycle tires. I'm looking forward to trying them out. I don't know how they'll ride but they should wear really well. Ray -- You received this

I'm trying Simworks homage - the pale green ones. Doing it for the color really. Combined with the orange - will need sunglasses to look at this bike. On Thursday, May 18, 2017 at 2:37:19 PM UTC-5, Shoji Takahashi wrote: > > I've got Big Bens on my wheelset. Measure 48 - 50mm on the tandem rims.

Ray, I mounted a pair of Maxxis Re-Fuse 27.5 x 2.0 -- they measure just over 51mm mounted after a week or so on the rims. They work great with VO 700x63 fluted aluminum fenders. Did a slight massage of the fenders following Anton Tutter's tutorial http://tinyurl.com/n8wy8cb to get the fende

I've got Big Bens on my wheelset. Measure 48 - 50mm on the tandem rims. I'm a bit surprised that they ran that narrow... I ran 26" version of Big Bens on my Hunqapillar and really liked them. I probably would have tried Super Moto-X had I known about them. But, then again, getting fenders and w

Schwalbe Super Moto-X: 27.5 x 2.4 (650B x 62) - basically a bigger Big Ben. I have them mounted on the wheels, still waiting on the frame. On Thursday, May 18, 2017 at 3:08:52 PM UTC-4, Ray Varella wrote: > > Intended use is multipurpose, road, trail, hardpack fireroad etc... > Nothing technical.
