Re: [RBW] Length of Quickbeam/SimpleOne track ends?

40/32 x 18 may indeed be the platonic ideal for the Quickbeam. However, my Quickbeam shipped with 40/32 x 22. Thanks, Corwin On Wednesday, May 2, 2018 at 10:02:53 PM UTC-7, Philip Williamson wrote: > > Yes. 40/32x18 is the platonic ideal of QB gearing. > > Two chainrings let me run 44/39x17/2

Re: [RBW] Re: Atlantis tires rec request

I just looked it up. I think this is the right ones. http://www.velocityusa.com/product/rims/atlas-559 If so, inside width is 19.8mm with max optimal tire width of 45mm, quite a bit narrower than the RTP. Hmmm. Will the extra width of the RTP be an issue with these rims? Thanks. Tim On Sun,

The Clem is only the 2nd bike I’ve tried them but both builds used effectively short reach riser stems. I can’t recall the exact spec of the stem currently in use but when measured at a 90degree/zero degree angle from quill bolt it’s about 6cm reach vs 12cm tallux that came stock with Bosco bar
