I'm really thinking a IGH is a great way to go with kids. Only a single
shifter, and nothing for them to break (relatively). I have a Nexus 7 on a
650b rim just waiting to go on a bike!

Thanks for the photos. I hadn't known you were cantilevered. Great

You might try your LBS. Most popular racks employ similar stainless
straps. Mine came with the bracket to the brake bolt and the two rod
arms for braze-on mounting.

I would imagine that the Rom would get noodly if you put a lot of
weight on the front, which you will discover if you brake while going
downhill. I found this to be the case with my Atlantis, and I think it
has a lot to do with a 1 steerer being somewhat flexy under such
circumstances. But with a

Pasela TG 700x35's, Schwalbe Marathon Supremes 700x42, and the Jack

Jack Brown blues have taken me over gravel and more comfortably.
I remember reading somewhere from JimG that 35mm Paselas w/o Tourguard
approximated the cush of 650B pretty well. I wonder if the TG really
makes a difference?

Does TG really make a difference? I'll say no. The TG adds weight but in my
experience doesn't do anything for added flat protection. YMMV.
I'm fine with the basic Pasela, currently running 35's on my tour bike,
50-60 PSI with a full load on gravel roads.

Me too. It's great. I can't believe it was considered a wrongly made
bag (although I understand what they meant by that). They should make
this one of the staple handlebar bags. I have the new bag on the
handlebar of the Ram and the tweed mini-loafer in the rear. It's a good

I have been using 38mm Maxxis Overdrive tires on my touring bike for several
years. Bought them to ride the sandy/gravel roads of the UP. They do well on
gravel and no flats ever. They do not however provide a soft ride. After

When there were no Quickbeams to be found, I settled for a Surly Steamroller
with 32 tires. I was surprised at how much fun it was and half the price of the
Quickbeam. That makes it easier to use for errands around town and leave it
locked up out side. Jim D. Mass.

The Tubus Luna is a great rack for day-to-day use. I've been commuting with
mine for years, and it holds up well. I've also taken it on short tours, and
found that it works adequately; but since it's narrower on top than
conventional racks, there's less of a platform to strap stuff on. Also,

Yep, Pasela 35 or 37 are fine on gravel, but the sidewalls are a touch
