It is always amazing me to me how personal a saddle decision is. I have two B17s on more aggressive bikes. They felt great on day one. I can tell the feel is different on the Joe. It doesn't feel bad but not the same. I suspect a wider saddle would fit better. I might just try the B67 it is a re

It's 650b. Can take 42 mm tires without fenders easily, maybe a bit more. With metal fenders, 38 mm tires are best. René On Thu, Apr 20, 2017 at 9:21 AM Jonathan D. wrote: > I wish I could. What a great deal. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "

Those are insane prices! I bought a roll of 1" tape a couple of years ago and it was nowhere near $250-300. I remember it being pricey but it was certainly $50 or less. I'm thinking somewhere in the $35 range? I don't remember for sure but even though I'm not all that frugal i never would have

I quite liked the spring in the b67 when I rode one on a touring bike with albatross bars. You don't lose any power in your stroke due to springs and they don't bounce around during your pedal stroke either, rather they move with you in a way that isn't interfering. Really, they do their job whe

I really only do upright or fairly upright riding anymore. No dropped bars left on my bikes. Both the B17 and the B68/B67 work for me for this type of riding. I find each saddle to be unique in feel. Some are great off the bat and others take time to get there and a few just don't cut it.

Hi Jon, We think the same on this, so the BB is winging its way to Phil Wood and company even now. I read some things, even talked with PW support, about a DIY offset change but I thought better of that, at least with the tools I have. I bought the BB on eBay so better it have a good check-up
