Well if we’re just idiots with opinions now: Platypus sold out in like six minutes with nary a raspberry in the crate. When do they come back in for sale? No time soon. You’ll remember what you like about the Clem and it’s fun to have a camping travel bike you don’t mind leaning on a tree. Unl

There comes a moment when your precious new Rivendell is ready to start taking on beausage. For some, it's on day one; for others, they need to hold onto that 'new bike' feeling as long as possible. I guess the question is whether you're at that juncture? I guess selfishly I would like to see the

IME, this sort of self-steering and "wallow" at lower pressures is one disadvantage of tires over a certain (say 35 mm? 38mm?) width on pavement; dirt is another matter entirely because the tire does not "grab" the surface in the same way, and a reason that one might well lose some of the cushionin
