In the next couple days I'm putting an order in for some Alba bars and tallux
stem for my Clem. My 59cm Clem has the stock bosco bull moose and I'm looking
for group input on what length stem to buy.
As we know the bosco bullmoose has a 12cm extension and I'm just wondering how
that should tra
Can confirm, the 3" tires are amazing for off-road riding! I have the
Bontrager 'Chupacabra' and they're fantastic for everything, from
washboarded gravel to decently technical mountain biking (the bike is
great, I'm OK ;) Riding the 3" tires on severely washboarded gravel in the
summer feels
Have you considered the Furious Fred? It's made in 26" and 29er and is
supposed to be extremely fast rolling. I've heard that Schwalbe's warnings
of fragility from being a racing tire are overstated and they're actually
OK on durability.

A lot of buzz for the Pine Mtn... less than $1K for a B+ bike that's
decently put together isn't half bad.

I'd want a superlight on there. Big Apple 2.0" would probably be next best
thing for us.

you should be able to measure the reach on your current setup, compare it
to diagrammed alba dimensions on the rivendell site, and near-enough
duplicate the reach by choosing your stem length.

The length of stem is wholly dependent on you Tim, as only you know what "*

My experience is with the current 62 cm Sam Hillborne. I'm 6'4" but have only
SH of 81 cm so I have a long torso. The SH toptube is pretty long but I'm
unsure of the number. Should be on the Riv site. I set the bike up with
Albatross and just an 11 cm stem, and I angle the handlebar so the ends

My rig is missing exactly one little top load for camping this year. The
recalled salsa minimalist rack would work too. Will pay cash if in Seattle.
I also have that new stainless soma porteur rack and a used tiagra 10 speed set
if you would trade.

I have a year and a half old green Hunqapillar, 48cm, with a bit
of beausage and touch up paint (from waterford). I have sed this as my
primary mountain bike (hence the beausage) and camping bike but have
recently gotten another mountain bike and this is being used primarily for

Oooh. That's a cool bike. That would be a cool bikepacking machine.
Honestly, though, I use the 2.1" Nanos on my mountain bike and they are
fine for almost 85% of my riding. I went for a 3 hour ride a week ago in
the snow, slush, and fire roads of my area, and they did fine. 3" seems (to

My sense of things exactly, though of course rider + bike weight will very
much affect the judgment. Personally, I am delighted at how well the ~28 mm
Compass Elk Pass ELs perform on our acquia roads, as long as the very silty
surfaces are somewhat packed down, as ithey tend to be in cold
weather.
I don't have an AHH to trade, and I couldn't currently afford to buy a Hunq,
but could you post some picks so I can drool anyway?

Good luck tracking down a used AHH, I think you would really enjoy one.
Sort of OT but I am curious what has replaced your Hunqapillar as your main
off road ride and what motivated the change. Could you elaborate?

Yeah I figure it's a long shot, I almost never see used ones pop up ;)
I got a Jones Plus. I kept crashing on the hunq and looking for a more stable,
confident ride on technical single track. Was smitten with all the words on the
internet around the jones and after calling and talking to Jeff I
I realize that is not a ringing endorsement for the hunq, the bike is fine, the
rider was the issue there ;)

Hi,
I'm also 5'7" and nearly 81 PBH. I have a 48cm Hunqapillar and 56cm AHH.
I love them both! I, too, have been looking at the Jones+. Maybe a future
bday present. (Glad I haven't called yet!)
The Hunqapillar serves great duty as a kid hauler and grocery getter. It is

Dear Paul,
Shoes and pedals are still available. I sent you an email.
Thanks,

I happen to have an albatross and a non-bullmoose bosco bar, along with
several different stems, sitting with my un-finished clem at the moment. I
could take snapshots with both bars together, and take some measurements of
the distance between clamp locations if it helps. I've been experiment
