Thanks, Cal, that's helpful.
All: the RH site estimates 47 mm for the OR on a 21 m IW rim. I've got
Naches Passes (at 41.5 mm) under VO 50 mm fenders with ~ 1.25 mm of
clearance over the tires.
Does anyone know if this more or less equals in vertical and horizontal
extension a 47 m tire?

Forgot to add that that tire looked like a 50 at least. Would that mean
that Minmotos could handle a 42 + 50 mm fender? I asked this before and
consensus was no, but it was a very small consensus, and the Minimotos
greatly appeal since you can use standard drop bar levers.

no problem with the ride. The outfitter I used doesn’t operate at ragbrai

The brilliance of RAGBRAI is that you can do it however you want. Fancy
tent set-up and more food than you'd ever eat; finding a tour that actually
books you into someone's home; to just getting your duffel bag of stuff
hauled by the RAGBRAI truck from town to town. There are so many choices

mile drive to Wichita Falls. I'm older and more crusty now some 30
I'm not sure why we would question why someone would want to do a well

I paid for the pass to watch this year’s videos and it was money
well-spent. I got to the RAGBRAI documentary last night. Wow. I had heard
of it but really knew nothing about it and now I would just love to figure
out how to ride it this year. It just looks
Based on my experience with mini-v brakes and knowing the specs of the
mini-motos I would say a heavy MAYBE on 48's. Without seeing it for sure I
would probably put a max on 45's. I am actually pretty shocked to hear that
45's with fenders made it even with the pinching.

I feel like yes. The issue for them was that they grabbed the outer sides
of the fenders, which were several centimeters higher than the tires
themselves. But some 48s may be really 48s with knobbier and some may be
closer to 45s. My experience was with 45 plus fenders and the fenders

To me, I don’t notice the weight on my normal rides and commutes, I have

This (to me) is especially true when mountain biking. The trails I like most have a LOT of short but very punchy climbs. The whole experience is one of doing intervals, blasting the downhills but gathering strength for the next climb. My road rides these days are much more chill, without any of

John, well said!!! At the risk of using a word that has become
trivialized by consumer culture, you have eloquently described the Zen of
cycling. I don't find it on every ride, but it is indeed my goal, and is
what keeps me coming back for more.
