Yesterday was the Del Puerto Canyon 200k brevet, hosted by San Francisco
Randonneurs. Luckily for me the day remained conflict-free and I was able
to do it. It was the 26th RUSA event of my career of 200k or greater, and
I logged my best time ever: 8 hours 18 minutes.

Congratulations on your great day. Your descriptive prose had me climbing and

That's a great story Bill. Riv should give you a commission on any Roadinis

Nice ride Bill! Just to correct the record, a bunch of roadies actually
came in under 7 hours. Bryan got a PR, but not the CR. I saw the Roadini at
the finish, was wondering whose that was.

Has anybody ridden Schwalbe G-One tires? Either the all arounders or the “bite”
model? I was thinking 2” Big Bens initially. But these something with a little
tread might be nice. Any other real world recommendations and experience with
tires would be great to read, too.

We've got the 2.35" G-ones set up tubeless on Cliffhangers, it's a great
option for the HHH and beyond.

It’s more functional, healthy, and probably cheaper than many other forms of
drugs, too! My fiddling is a form of psychotherapy, too.

We have Maxxis ReFuse 2" on our HHH. Have been quite pleased with their ride
quality.
Only road riding for us, but there are plenty of rough patches in the
Jerycity/NYC area, which they roll over with ease.
Enjoy the new HHH. It is such a great bike!!

Just came back from 15 miles on our G-mail clad HHH... Love the tires, also
running them on a Clementine and the 29er version on a Jones Plus. Strongly
recommended. On the HHH him running them tubed on cliffhangers though the
Clementine has tubeless in cliffhangers... Both work fine.

The way to start is to wheel your bike into the store with an air of owning
the place. If someone questions you, you must assume an air of injured and
very superior dignity.
Note: if you get away with it for a year or so, then, when someone
questions you, you can say, "Well! I've been wheeling it
Amen to this line: "fit, handling and build are far higher priorities to
me." Now, a I'd much rather take 25 pound than a 35 pound bike on brevet,
but a bike that fits and handles well will ALWAYS be more enjoyable for me
than a featherweight jitterbug that has me straining to even reach the

You can have fit, good handling, and a good build on a 6/4/6 Rivendell, too.
Why not?

John G asked about the gearing on my Leo ♌️.
It’s a 2x10. White Industries VBC crankset with 44/30 rings and a Shimano 12-30
cassette. I use Shimano indexed barcon shifters.
5000ft over 125miles really is tame in the SFR catalog. When the mountain bike

The poster previously known as Michael Levan, now known as Lum Gim Fong
asked "Why not?" swap out my Leo Roadini for a different bike made of 6/4/6
tubing. He said I can have the fit and handling of a Leo Roadini, so I
assume he means that he is recommending that I order a Custom Rivendell

Bill:
You totally misunderstood what I typed.
I wasn’t saying you would have the handling of a Rodini. I was not suggesting
that you buy a custom. I was not even talking to you.
I was just throwing the idea out there that a person can also have those
benchmarks mentioned while also having a 646
