I was going to click on that thread then I remembered joining a Riv discussion 
at Paceline a couple years ago and suddenly remembered I ain't getting any 
younger!

By bigger tires I am sure they mean approaching 3+" ; even then the brakes 
aren't really the issue the problem starts to be the chain line interfering 
with the tire.

SMH…Haters gonna hate. There; I saved you minutes of time that you won't 
get back.

Am I exaggerating? Do you consider these substantiated critique?:

   - They're putting pics of people walking their bikes up hills!
   - They're taking pics of their bikes in front of garage doors!
   - How can they ever ride those bikes with such long chainstays up hills? 
   (you mean like this 
   ?)

It's also incredibly ironic that at least one person found fault with 
Rivendell for not adopting disc brakes, because bigger tires can be used 
then; I guess they never heard of cantilever brakes, nor realized that 
Rivendell was a steward of fat tires for *any* bike use even back when 23mm 
wide road tires were considered wide, and gravel bikes were but a glimmer 
in the "country" bikes' eyes.

Fairly civil, even somewhat nuanced, although so many just don't get it and 
are stuck on retrogrouch and overpriced hybrid. Whatever. Surprised to 
learn that Grant has grown in stature, literally--he designs big bikes 
because he is 6'4". Gotta love the internets.
