Riding in the snow in Oregon (weeks of piled up unplowed crunk), fixed was safer than walking. No hills, but fixed is extremely “connected.” As far as I can tell about something I take for granted, it’s the bicycle equivalent of the proprioception you talk about walking barefoot. Philip

Re: [RBW] Re: "We’ll have “classic” single speed frames again...."

I was curious as to why a sports oriented design tends to end up with somewhat limited tire clearance (I appreciate the Rodeo offers far more clearance than mosrmt bikes in the same genre). I was under the impression that the Blue Lug and the Rodeo could use the same brakes that are typically

That's a good point about the Clem's handling; what car magazines would call "forgiving". I haven't ridden mine on dirt but we have some horrendous pavement around here that I've hit at a good clip, and the bike is very good about going where you point it without any excess deviations that you

Great to hear, John! My arterial route, which is required riding to get anywhere up the pass (and I rarely go down the pass), includes paved and dirt roads which may or may not be plowed and a healthy section of MUP that isn’t plowed but is often driven over which makes biking it tricky.

Deacon, I grew up in Alamosa, Colorado and rode my grandfathers ancient Schwinn during the winters. Alamosa probably gets less snow than your area, but back then the roads would get icy in November and stay that way until March. I rode the old Schwinn with 27x1.25 tires and a fixed gear. I

Patrick of the Moore — good eye! Those are Barlow Pass 38 tires on there. The rear tire was bar to the outer tread, which Compass told me is a good wear indicator. So I put my surviving Snoqualmie on the rear (where it is snuggest) to see how it fits. Snug, but with a wee bit of wiggle room.

Agree that the appaloosa is not comparable, with it's smaller tire clearance. The ability to fit a 2.5" tire, with fenders, is what sets the clem and hunq apart. If one of the clems fits really well, I'd have a hard time telling someone they would should get a hunq. But don't compromise if

Untrue.  It's not safe to ride with cantilever brakes with "traditional" style ^ cables and knobbies w/o fenders.  Shimano created a new style of hanger cable to fix that problem when it surfaced decades ago. On 11/12/2017 12:09 AM, lum gim fong wrote: Canti QB? i read that its not safe to

Knobbies and canti's not "safe" ? Sure for those that promoted v-brakes and slick tires and "protection" devices I suppose since their sales depended upon this myth... but for the countless rest of us it is not and never was. Safety and peril are 2 sides of the same coin, dependent on each
