Thanks for putting the date out there in advance like this Jim. I'm going
to plan on attending. I'll be riding either my LHT or my Ogre. I love the
idea of riding the Almazo course (or some variation thereof) as a two-day
route. That's a beautiful ride!

I don't think the Rambouillet was designed to accommodate fenders with

Of course, like I did earlier this year, I allotted 4 days for the rally,
when the "official" ride will be a 2-day Sat/Sun event. The more I think
about the Almanzo idea (mostly in Fillmore County, MN), the more I like it.
I'm envisioning that some of us will do the 4-day version, starting on

So why does Hawaii get to claim "Mid-Pacific" when us right-coasters in the
non-descript region between, say, lower NJ and upper North Carolina fall
into the "Mid-Atlantic"? I would think the Bay-area is as much
"Mid-Pacific" as anything else.

Ram was spec'd "fits up to 38c tires or 35c with fenders." This from the
2007 "webalog. You can probably use the waybackmachine to go look. I have
37s on my Ram right now and it is not maxed out.
38s also fit a Road or Road Standard, but only if you convert to 650B :)

With the bottom bracket drop of a Rivendell Road Standard it would not
be a good candidate for a conversion to 650B size. Bottom bracket
drop is 75mm, Rivendell recommends BB drop of 70mm or less for a 700c
to 650b conversion - http://www.rivbike.com/kb_results.asp?ID=64

There will definitely be an inn/motel option for the non-campers. But the rally
route won't be all paved trails. Lots of rustic gravel roads, maybe a
treacherous water crossing or two for adventure's sake. That said, there are
many miles of excellent paved bike trails in that area, and that's a
I don't know about the Riv Road, but I just showed that the Ram (while not
fitting in the recommended drop range for a 650b conversion), with 42mm
650b Hetre tires has a bottom bracket height of 260 mm, which is within the
range of the acceptable minimum as defined by Riv. (see

And to strengthen the argument by 2 mm, the Ram's BB drop is 77 mm, while the aforementioned Riv has 75 mm.
This 650B Hetre Ram development is messing me up: temptation to do it versus "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." I'm right about at my 5 year anniversery of my commitment to Jack Brown gre

Anyone use these on their Rivs?

Bruce Gordon has a nice one, and there's a similar one from SOMA Fab that looks
like a knock-off of the BG light, but a couple of bucks pricier.
Here's the Bruce Gordon one:

And the SOMA version: http://store.somafab.com/sosibure
What did you mount, and how did it work out?
Are the 'boards strong enough to hold the weight without bouncing the light
around?
I imaging if mounted from holes near the fender stays it would be strong
enough, but Peter White warns against using plastiuc fenders for mountin'.

Why do tires always get flats with the first good rain of the season? Is it
just to remind us that Nature is always lurking out there? Some kind of
