Re: [RBW] Re: Let’s say I made my Clem into a “gravel bike”

2023-06-10 Thread Leah Peterson 
What Gil says resonates with me. I love how you love a Clem! All those attributes truly do make the Clem a gem.  I have favored those Platys as of late, but I am going back to Clem-loving again soon. We are traveling right now, but when I get back I’m heading to the bike shop to see about putting 48s on my Clem if the Pacenti Brevet rims will take them. Sounds like if they aren’t tubeless, it’s ok. We’ll see.On Jun 9, 2023, at 3:15 PM, Gill  wrote:The fact that the OP’s query has already been thoroughly dealt with won’t dissuade me from chiming in on a subject near and dear (besides, if posters were not able to beat dead horses this forum would have dissolved years ago).

 go back to the og time, just LMK.

 climb
 for folks who want to do some more climbing!

 I signed up for the 55 mile ride on Saturday and reserved a
 spot at the swap. It's a great event and everyone is super nice. 
 The swap
 is really good too because sellers usually have interesting or 
 high end
 items.

Most definitely down for a ride next month. Would be in favor of benefiting 
from some cooler coastal weather because I’m sure this mild weather will 
not last into July. 

Last time was great fun. Thanks for putting it together, Houston, and 
thanks for documenting!

Griffith Park.)

It was fine as it was, but now I've got an added big ring and a smaller granny ring. The front rings are now 40/34/21. The back is a 20t cog using the Paul Melvin Tensioner. The Melvin can handle 20 teeth worth of difference. I got the 21t ring on the front with the Mountain Tamer adapter. I really like the adapter but it does take some TLC (Dremel) to fine tune. I'm using a Shimano XT front derailleur. I haven't found a combo that thing can't handle. It's riding great!Pre-tinkering todayNew comboLil' baby 21Chainline looking good. Beware of adjusting spacers on the Melvin. The C Clip springs and flies about like you wouldn't believe. I lost mine in the process.
