I've been pretty impressed with the H Plus Son Todestreib rims (25mm
internal width, 32mm external width) that I just used in a wheel build
intended for use on an Appaloosa frame. The wheels were very easy to true
both radially and laterally, and the spoke holes are offset about 3mm from
the ce
And of course the Clem could also handle the mud with a plum!

The potential for name embarrassment has been discussed (possibly way back
in this thread). As far as the name of this model, when the new Cheviut
design was unveiled in a recent newsletter, Will mentioned that it was
thought the changes might be substantial enough to warrant giving the

Water may have got in there and temporarily acted as a lubricant. Back in
the days when I wore clipless Look/Shimano road cleats, the mid-ride
temporary fix for a squeaky cleat was to squirt some water at it from the
water bottle.

This has me seriously debating whether to go with Atlas or Cliffhangers on
my Clem wheelset; I might end up running Rat Trap Passes on it and maybe
the extra width will prevent the swirm that some have reported. Or maybe
the Atlas is wide enough to address that. I'll probably run Gravel King
All:
These have been mounted once, and then quickly taken off. They fit exactly
like the old ULTEGRA 47 / 57s and are beautifully finished, very nice
brakes. The frame they were destined for has a rear brake bridge that
fowled up my plans, doggone it.
BTW, they are much nicer than the TEKTRO
Hey Jason, another rim to consider, that falls in between the Atlas (19.8)
and Cliffhanger(25) internal widths is Sun Ryno Lyte 700c. I believe the
internal width is 22mm(27 outside). And they can usually be found for a pair
for under which a single Velocity rim would cost.They’re not M
This thread reminds me how far off the "beaten path" this group really is,

to romanticize about the joys of a simple, capable bicycle as much as any

In the context of riding only the streets indicated in the article, totally
agree that the pictured mountain bike doesn't make sense. I was assuming,
if it's her bike, that she does ride trails on it. My point was the
intended purpose of that bicycle is quite different than the Clem, and when

Ah rats! Well, congratulations, that is.

Thanks for the info on the Todestrieb rims. That’s what I was going to build
with for my Fitz, but then I bought a White/SON set with Dyads on the list

My German-speaking friend turned me on to the Todestrieb rims - he was amused
I would not make such assumptions. It's a Bogota branded bicycle. Obviously
some manufacturer convinced the city that shocks and discs and flat bars
make sense on a city bike. Because that's what they want to sell. Fashion.
Whether or not the mayor is a gonzo mountain biker is completely unknown

Leah, you may not be as far off with your finger test as you think (yes,
your understanding of supple tire was off). The weight of the rider plays a
big part. My daughters on their 2.1" tires run 20-30 psi just fine. Me, the
200 lb ogre, need 35-40 psi. So, to Steve's point, you don't want to ru
Well I'm going to disagree to a degree. For the mostly smooth terrain Leah
rides and the Killer Hill™ she climbs to get home, I can't see 30-40 psi being
anything but drag for her. She can certainly experiment with pressures and 55
may be a bit much, but she's not riding terrible roads and dirt.
Good thread, Leah
I ought to have known that I should have gone looking for some scissors instead
of using a large, heavy knife to trim a zip tie. I'd modified a bell in order
to zip tie it to a 1 1/8 steerer. The zip tie put up some resistance so when
the knife finally made it through, it con

I just got back from 14 miles of fun. You all have never LIVED until you’ve had
air in your tires. I soared up the hills. I shook my teeth loose bombing down
the hills! Did you all ride horses growing up? I rode my bucking Clem all over
these trails and I did not fall off, not even once.
Fine,
When I got my first bike, as a grownup, after not riding at all since
childhood, I oiled my chain with Phil Tenacious Oil. Because that’s the only
oil I had. And then I left the oil on the chain. Because that’s what you do,
right? So why, one week later, was there goo and grit all over my chain

Evan, I did a couple decades of gooped chains. Maybe not Phil Oil gooped, but
when a person becomes A Serious Cyclist the first two things they learn are
their saddle is too low and their chain is squeaky. What's next? Saddle goes
