made?

Hi Wes,
I'm 6'4" and 95 PBH. I'm perfectly comfortable on my Platypus but I'm at
the top end of the range and would go with a 62cm Atlantis in the future.
I'd take a look at Will's setup on the site, that will give you an idea of
what to expect.

I'm considering one fo the remaining Rosco Platys and want to hear ho the
Platypus frame works for tall folks. I'm 6'3" with a 94cm PBH. Right now I
have no Rivendell bike but I remember my former Atlantis fondly. I'm tired
of maxing out the capacity of smaller frames with ridiculously tall stem
Tires have sold, thanks!

Brian, Topeak indeed has a "rebuild kit"

mention of a check valve for any frame pump, only their floor models. I
read somewhere that replacing the o-rings and some synthetic grease is all
that's needed for the body. The he
I often adjust pressure during a ride, moving from gravel to pavement or
vice versa. I tried the Rene Herse pressure calculations and they’re wildly
unpleasant for my riding, weight, and loads. The squishy, wallowing feeling
that those pressures result in doesn’t work for me (to be clear, I don’

should also say that they are all gone at this point, nothing wrong with
them except my own unnecessary searching for the next shiny object.

What made your the Roadini a superior all around bike compared your
AHH-MUSA/MUJ ??? Was the Roadini more lively, handle better, ride
better, or something else??? It seems the Roadini is more a pure road
bike vs the all around nature of the AHH.Just curious.

I'm another Topeak Road Morph user and would also suggest it for ease of
trail or roadside use and the inline gauge. I have two and they've rotated
between bikes/bags. I've used their stock mount on a frame with no bottle

I've never used any pressure calculator, but for follies I looked at a few.
The Silca is by far the most detailed as it accounts for many vaiables.

calculator comes the closest to what I

that the UD Cava will come in 650b 55mm this fall!!

Also I kinda wish - on Wednesdays and Saturdays, I change my mind about
this all the time - that the Homer and Atlantis names hadn't been continued
to what my eyes sees as very different frames. It makes discussion of them
quite confusing.

All the replies provided good insight into the question. However, if
Grant P would only publish the *tube thicknesses* of the 3 frame tubes, the
question would be much easier to answer, since both models use OS tubing.
Until then, it all a guessing game.

Good morning!
I got this Slimsucker a year ago and it worked perfectly for me. Long story
short...I need to carry my lunch this school year and the Slimsucker is
just barely too small to fit everything I carry, and I hate to add a bag or
basket just to carry my lunch. I can still use this bag, s
FWIW, I am a hair under 200lbs, and I really dislike that squishy, low psi
feeling on the pavement. Looking at RH's tire pressure calculator now,
though, and the recommended PSI rangeis 27-34 from soft to firm. That is
surprising to me, and perhaps it's time to re-evaluate/try some new things!
I've got three dynamo wheels and two dynamo headlights to move to new homes.
The wheels are all professionally built and are tight, straight and true. They
are all in excellent condition with no visible sidewall wear and LOTS of miles
left. All prices include shipping.

I am guilty of not having a great gauge on any of my pumps at home, so I
find myself frequently dropping pressure over the course of a ride until I
get to magic carpet feel. It's particularly disappointing when I get 45
miles into a 55 mile ride before I get there
On Wednesday, August 31,
Did you ever find a slimsucker? I know they've restocked at Riv since you
posted this. I'm about to list mine (royal blue) so I can upgrade to the
regular saddle sack (just need that extra bit of room after a year of use).
If you're all set, no worries. I'm posting it now either way, so if you
I agree that 42 psi seems high for a 48mm endurance casing. If you're
running tubes you may be wary of punctures or pinches so you'd likely run
higher, but I think you can safely get away with lower pressures. I'm 175
lbs and ride tubeless setups on most of my bikes. The bike I ride the most
is
I have a Sam with 700x38 Gravel King slicks. Pretty good, decent price.
Smooth and snappy on pavement and fairly stable on gravel. Being over
200lbs, I'm hesitant to run them lower than mid 40s PSI, so I think at some
point I'll switch to the Snoqualmies so I can run a lower PSI.

I don't know your weight is Alex but 42 PSI for any 48mm tire seems a bit
high for *any *tire. I've let some air out of tires in rare circumstances
but it's not something I want to do on a regular basis. If I do let air out
I'll keep it there for the rest of the ride. In "someone else's shoes"
