pb - I think that's just the settings on the photo program. Viewing the photos on my Android, there is an option at the top of the page to "turn motion off". After selecting this option, the photos are most pleasant to view. Ian# A -- You received this message because you are subscribed to

Re: [RBW] Re: Anyone compared Schwable Almotions to Supremes?

Hi John, I have the same experience as dougP using Schwalbe Supreme 26 x 1.6” in my Atlantis during my 4 months TransAm tour in 2016. Only 1 flat each for front and rear tire. I would use the same tire in my next tour. Edgar > On 6 Nov 2018, at 12:34 PM, jack loudon wrote: > > John, I've

All due respect, I find the odd movement and noise in those photographs to be distracting and irritating and detracting from the bicycle, and distracting and irritating and detracting do not make me want to buy a bicycle. No doubt it's just me. I'm used to that. ~pb -- You received this

[RBW] Re: Anyone compared Schwable Almotions to Supremes?

John, I've never tried the Allmotions but (like others) have had very good luck with Supremes. First set 700-50's went close to 10,000 mi with no flats; I did nothing but add air occasionally. I finally retired them because of a sidewall slice that didn't go through, but was nonetheless

Bill Great ride report and sounds like a very fulfilling ride. Your Leo really performed The 1 lb weight savings (Leo vs Roadeo) translates into a 1/12 mph increase or using your measured 125.5M & 7H45M time, the 1/12mph increase is 16.4 mph avg and a 7H43M time. A time savings of 2M!!

[RBW] Re: Anyone compared Schwable Almotions to Supremes?

My wife and I have used Supremes on touring bikes for the last few years, and both have good resistance to punctures. She has 700x35, and I have the 700x40. I have had 700x38 Soma Shikoro on my commuting bike, and had good luck with them and they roll nice. They have a 700x50 version too.

[RBW] Re: Leo Roadini on Brevet--SFR Del Puerto Canyon 200k ride report

Thanks for the wonderful ride report Bill! I Googled and got the Del Puerto 200k map. Want to attempt it sometime. Longest I've done is 70 miles (on Appaloosa). That took 8 hrs! This 200k might be a 14-15hrs deal for me. Probably a good one for the summer, so there's enough daylight

[RBW] Re: Anyone compared Schwable Almotions to Supremes?

Hi Garth, I'm running my Antelope Pass 55mm tires about 25 psi in the front and about 35 psi in the back. My Hunqapillar weighs about 32(?) lbs & I weigh about 240 lbs, but usually keep my groceries to 10 lbs or less per run. John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to

[RBW] Re: Anyone compared Schwable Almotions to Supremes?

John, Flats are @ what PSI ? You may simply need to lower the pressure. I run 40mm Vittoria Hypers @ 33-40 psi and they have been flat free over 3 pairs. On Monday, November 5, 2018 at 11:30:45 AM UTC-5, John Phillips wrote: > > Been getting too many flats lately, perhaps due to all

Thanks Doug, The supremes sound really good. Checking the Schwalbe site again, I see for 2019, Schwalbe will be offering lighter clincher versions of the Marathon Almotion in 50-622 & 55-622 sizes once again, along with the heavier tubeless versions in the same sizes. So maybe I should

[RBW] Re: Anyone compared Schwable Almotions to Supremes?

John: I've used the Supremes for 10 years now & like them a lot. Punctures are rare in my suburban environment & I've also taken them off road without issues. They will definitely be more flat resistant than the Compass. No experience with the All Motion. I doubt you need to go full

Thanks, Andy and Lum. Andy, one of the ways I estimate temperature is the sound of the snow underfoot. I’m not a sound engineer, so I’m unsure of the technical way to describe it, but the “sparklier” it is the colder it is. -20˚F sounds very different from -10, 0, 10, 20, and 30. When I’m able

Re: [RBW] Re: Anyone compared Schwable Almotions to Supremes?

Got it. Still, the Apples may be an option; it's just that for flats other than by goathead, I get perhaps 1 every year (I think Jan has the same experience in Seattle or wherever he is) so I can't really speak to that sort of puncture (and I'm glad of that; our goatheads are certainly bad enough.

[RBW] Re: Anyone compared Schwable Almotions to Supremes?

I don't have a comparison between them, but I'm running Almotion 650Bx2.0 on my Joe A. I've switched between those and WTB Horizon's. Cumulative I have over 1k miles on Almotions. No flats so far. Ride is very smooth and supple.I have them mounted on Velocity Atlas rims. On Monday,

[RBW] Re: Anyone compared Schwable Almotions to Supremes?

Patrick, my flats are caused by broken glass, wires and urban construction debris rather than goat heads. I've been trying to run my errands on Compass tires, but I really can't afford the time it takes to fix a flat when my wife's ice cream is on board. So I'm trying to find the "most

Re: [RBW] Anyone compared Schwable Almotions to Supremes?

If the culprits are goatheads, I have to recommend the Big Apple. Relatively cheap, heavy as lead (*), but roll surprisingly well (at least until you hit a rise), and man, shrug off 99 out of every 100 goatheads; the only tire I've used besides horrible, horrible, horrible armored ones that I can

Been getting too many flats lately, perhaps due to all the construction in my neighborhood, so I'm trying to decide which touring tire to try out in the 50-55mm range. Has anyone compared the Schwalbe Marathon Almotion to the Marathon Supreme? I'm hoping for a tire to get me home from the

Re: [RBW] Is this PV-8 hub noise normal?

Ok I will check. For now, on both my Raleigh and Rambouillet bikes it just looks like the drive side DO end is twisted a smidge. Maybe optical illusion. But because I thought I might have been overtightening over the years I didnt snug as much this time. -- You received this message because

If the dropouts are moving while you tighten the skewer, the dropouts are out of alignment. Take the bike to a competent mechanic to have the dropouts aligned. Peter White On Mon, Nov 5, 2018 at 8:04 AM Lum Gim Fong wrote: > Interesting, because on the recent wheel installation I gave the

Interesting, because on the recent wheel installation I gave the pitlock skewer 1/4 turn less than normal since I noticed my front DO getting bent looking a little. Thought I must be overdoing the skewer tightness. I will re-snug and see if that quiets it down. Thanks! -- You received this

Re: [RBW] FS: Orange Roadini frame 54cm

Light-feeling, quick-handling but not squirrelly (I presume that's geometry, not ti related), with a bizarre sense of picking up road irregularities that disappear into the bike before reaching the bars and saddle. Which I realize doesn't make sense as words on a screen, but it sure is fun in
