I bailed on the Brewpub Populaire in Oregon to do my first 200k this past
Saturday in Bellingham, WA. It was definitely an experience! I rode in
snow, freezing rain, plenty of wind, and ultimately sunshine through some
pretty country on a relatively flat course (for this area). No bonking or

Nice condition. Way less than 200 miles on the new salmon koolstops.
Straddle cables included but no hangers. They don't have the black toe-in
adjustments these are silver. I'm not sure if that was a european thing
(bike was from holland) or just not xt.
$25 or best offer + shipping from Seattl
But (speaking hypothetically - I don't need a bike) I wish they would have shifted to that awesome blue WITHOUT contrasting headtube as a way to keep the cost down closer to $1000. Whenever the "lower cost" Rivendells creep up in price, I get nervous for some reason.

All,
It is pretty reasonable to assume 650c rim size in this case. I would
not bet against sdt swiss doing a run of 650B tubular rims though.
The tires are easy in 26", 650b or 650c, the hard part is the rims.
Mountain bike pro's have used 650C tri carbon rims with hand made 650c
tubular tires by
I'm always glad to see more positive exposure for 650b as well, since I

Jan is simply wrong about 26 inch tubulars - ENVE makes them and
Duguast makes a 26" tubular on a non-custom basis. I think GEAX makes
26" tubular rims/tires too. If his speculation was based off that,
he's even more likely to be wrong. Again, just doesn't make any sense

The speculation is that there have been carbon tubular 650c rims in the

That's been common in the mountain bike racing community. Not dominant,

more likely that it's 650C. Who cares between 571 and 584? Nobody among
