[RBW] Re: Fenderless Sam: Snoqualmie or Barlow Pass?

Just to reinforce, I emailed Compass about this a few weeks ago and was assured by that the weights are correct as listed. The current Barlow’s are even heavier than the size below, if I remember correctly. If I were set on that size I would go with the new Panaracer Gravel King in 38mm for

[RBW] Re: Fenderless Sam: Snoqualmie or Barlow Pass?

Don't know about brakes, but 44 on a 18-19 rim shouldn't be an issue. I had 50mm marathons on dyads (I think they are 19mm internal) on a Sam and there was nothing close to an issue that came up. This was with Paul racers. I'd bet the 559's clear 44mm just fine. -- You received this message

Even better, just strap it (poke holes in original straps as needed) directly to the rails of your Flite, Turbo, or San Marco: I've done that with Carradices and Rivendell bags up to Camper, Hoss, and Sackville Medium sizes, and carried 35 lb loads in them. This works better with the buckles

Aha! Thanks for this. Those titles bring back *old* memories! Money making suggestion to RBW, no % taken: make a book out of best old Reader articles. Heck, if copyrights are a hassle, make a book just out of Grant's pieces. But if you can include the Maynard Herson articles and the Bontrager

[RBW] Re: Fenderless Sam: Snoqualmie or Barlow Pass?

With the R559 brakes it looks like available height for the 44 Snoqualmie's would be more of an issue than width. My Marathon 35's measure 34.5mm wide X 36.5 high (60psi, front tire, unloaded) on the Alexrims DM18 (18.4 inner rim width). Has anyone mounted Snoqualmie's on a rim with an inner

[RBW] Re: Banana Sax Pics?

I have the 'original' version of the Banana bag, which hung from the saddle rails. It looks like the new one is for saddles with loops only? That would be a deal breaker for me, which is too bad because the blue might go nicely with my next bike (custom, lugged but non-Riv). The toggles,

i'm looking to find Grant's thoughts on front loading the bike, specifically his thoughts on carrying the weight on a rack top, or higher than traditional low riders. I know he's written about this, but now going through my readers, I can't find where. Anyone have a clue? On Saturday, December

I've had all three. Size would go XS, banana, S. sackville small isn't exactly small, and the shape of it really utilizes space. I used to regularly get 2 takeout boxes in mine without hassle or jostling of the food. The banana is smaller for sure, but the way space is used almost makes it not
