I've got a nice silver Thomson Elite setback seatpost and I'd prefer a zero

current position is uncut and quite long.
I can pull it to measure it provide photos if requested. I'm looking for a

I have a Sam, a Clem L, and a Joe. Setup is everything. The Clem L is new and a
workhorse: groceries, errands, and dog walking. The Joe is in another
location—one with bad pavement, lots of gravel connectors, soft forest trails,
and a bit of mud—and I have it set it up for “anyroad” riding, with
I didn't know that about Grant and the headbadge. That's cool!

My comparisons will be Joe, Hilsen/Saluki and Ram/Romulus, which should roughly
compare to the three you listed. H/S and R/R were pretty much the same

That is interesting about the comparison between the Hunq and the Sam. And
even though I have not owned a Sam, I can still agree with you on the
versatility and do-it-all nature. I feel the same about the Joe, though I
know the Joe falls slightly to one side of the rough vs road line, maybe

I had a hunqapillar, then I got a Sam hillborne with the intention of doing
what you describe. 1 tourish and one fastish. Long story short, Sam never felt
much faster than the hunq. It probably was, marginally, but it never felt
sprightly. I sold the Sam first.
All that said, in my experience,

I checked out the bike specials and the Appaloosa isn't there anymore. So
you are left with the temptation of the Clem L which at least would be
easier on your wallet.
BTW: this seems like the wrong place to get encouragement NOT to splurge
on a bike :)

I figured I would ask on the off chance (or maybe not so off?) that someone
has ridden all three bikes and can describe their take on the differences
they detected. I know from design that the Roadini should be faster than
the Sam and the Sam faster than the Joe. I know from a touring and roug

I got some lightly used Chrome 415 Storm Boots in size 12 brown. I'm going to
get a size 13 size these are little snug. I wore them for about two weeks.
Check out photos for details:

These retail for $150, I'm asking $100 shipped.
I wouldn't expect any problems. My Ultegra 6700GS road derailleur does fine
with a 36t cog without RoadLink or extra long B screw.

My wife's touring bike has 10-speed XT on it, and the long arm rear
derailleur was able to cope with a 42t extender cog just by winding the B
screw all the way in. The chainrings are 40-28.

Interesting all around. I'm trying to save myself having to set it up and then
order a roadlink, wait for delivery and re set up. I'm just excited to ride
this bike and not wanting to wait.
Anyway, I just ordered the wolftooth since it sounds like in the least, it
won't hurt.

I'm pretty sure you won't get the 9-speed Deore XT to shift to a 40 without
the Roadlink or at least a very long B screw.
I used a Roadlink to run an 11-40 rear with a 46/30 front on a 2x touring
bike, which worked great, but 46 is about as big as you'll be able to go in
the front--the 44 Silv
