Hi Kim,
I've squeezed in a Schwalbe G-One Speed (no knobs) at 27.5x2.35 which
measures out to 60mm on the stock rims. There's about 5mm of clearance on
each side. The tires have to be deflated to clear the brake pads when
removing the wheel.

Thanks Brian! The bar wrap is teal, but dusty from the trail. I had the
bike built by riv and didn't specify anything either way regarding
treatment but I think they put on a coat of clear shellac (this is my first

Thanks for sharing your story and the info about Pedaling for PD, David.
I'm not sure what kind of computer you're using, but some now have a talk
to text function that can be enabled if that would make things simpler for
you? I for one would be happy to help list things for you if after trying
Fun to hear these descriptions and advice. As a soon to be Appa owner
planning to use it for 80/20, on/off-road I’ll be setting it up mostly as a
road bike but, really looking for an all-terrain bike with big tire
clearance and a road-ish feel.
Also, Collin, thank you for sharing your experience
Thank you all. You may find it interesting that forced exercise such as
cycling is being studied as a way to slow the progression of PD.. Dr Jay
Albert at the Cleveland Clinic has the Pedaling for PD program. He started
putting the patients on a tandem and had the captain push the stoker

Beautiful spot. Looks like an overlook near Fruitlands.
Nice area for a ride. Have not bicycled through there, but spent many days
motorcycling the region when I lived in Boston in the 90s for college.

In defense of the old 3 speed igh, the drag, at least for the old SA AW,

I had my 51 650b Joe setup as a mostly road/dirt touring bike for a couple
years, and it has gone through many iterations since then (currently living
life as a 1x9 flatland commuter). Is it a road race bike? No. Is it a fun
bike to ride on the road and connect the many dirt trails/roads/etc.
Thank you all for the replies. I'll give those washers a try. I may look at
a few local places for them before ordering. It'll give me a reason to ride
around anyway.
Sorry for the bad pic link. I tried to post pics for about 20 minutes the

The M-18 - and Nitto racks in general - are getting increasingly difficult
to obtain. I work in a shop with a QBP account, and waited over 6 months
for them to come in stock, I got 1 only because I had it on Item
Reservation. They sold out the day they re-stocked. No current re-supply
date
I noticed in a few Rivendell employee and Grant's bikes the brass washer. I
know in the past Grant has mentioned replacing that plastic washer with a
solid brass one, but that the cost was prohibitive. I figured the ones
showing on their bikes were prototypes or fabricated solid ones. I have
I think you're better off with a Sam. I love that it can ride any terrain a
"gravel bike" can but it does so while feeling like a road bike and not
some sort of cross breed.

Laing, the hex key size is 6, so that means I need a 7 mm bolt, then? And did I read correctly that hardware stores don’t carry the 7? Why???The post is certainly not perfect. I wish I could slam it, but I can’t because it widens at the top. It will just barely work for me, and as I get older over
The bolt is probably 304 stainless-steel, which is an austenitic
