Well I’ll be, the seat tube most definitely IS ovalized. But, it happens pretty abruptly at the very end. It’s definitely round just a bit below the bottom cage boss - just enough to squeeze that rear der. in there I think. I am missing the correct spacers to test fit it but just holding it there

Is the Gus seat tube ovalized down at the bottom like the Susie? I seem to
remember being the case.
If so, I ran into an issue trying to fit a low clamp FD with a 24-34-guard
setup on a Silver crankset on my Susie. Clamp would have been on the
ovalized portion.

No pics because it was dark and pouring. I rode up the American River
parkway to see the conditions on the river and at the Nimbus dam on January

been a drought that whole time so I am seeing the flood control

I don't think you'll have any issues. I have a low clamp XT front derailer
set up to clear a 46t big ring on my Gus and it's still a cm or so below
the lower water bottle boss. I'm imagining that you'll probably be running
smaller rings than that, since it appears you have a derailer designed for

I just ordered Billy Bonkers on Amazon for ease of returning them if they
don't work out. I like the idea of Renee Herse tires, but they are
relatively expensive and I've read enough negative feedback about them that
I have always chose another option. In this case, I'd probably but

Conway: What about the RH Naches Pass for your XO-3? A pair will cost as

Thanks Garth. They mounted to the RIM with no tools and minimal effort.
It has to do with clearance issues with the frame and fork. I used to run
26 x 50 Schwalbe kojaks with no issue in aeroheat and cliffhanger rims, so
I presumed the 26 x 2.1 gravel kings would work.
Anyone want to trade
I first heard about those Kool Stop Tire Jacks on this site and I'm glad to
now own them. They are the answer to all of my cursing when mounting
various present day tires, from Challenge to Veloflex. Its precursor, the
VAR RP-42500, now my second choice, which is good for the road in a riding
As for the tire mounting, those Kool Stop Tire Jacks are designed to assist
in just what you describe, very difficult "I can't, it won't, etc" tire
mountings.
Schwalbe states their tires are "usually" a little narrower, but not every
specific tire is like that. They state a variation of
