The Clem certainly is the most versatile and I'd be more inclined to load up this one for camping trips vs the Redwood. I have 2.1" Thunderburts right now which are a pretty sweet spot, but lots of options. On Friday, August 7, 2020 at 2:57:22 PM UTC-5, Mark Roland wrote: > > Those are some exce

I don't disagree with this in practice - and certainly 47mm is enough for trails - so I'm leaning towards trying out some semi-knobby 47mm 650b tires. This might be the first step and see which bike I prefer. On Friday, August 7, 2020 at 2:03:02 PM UTC-5, Jason Fuller wrote: > > While I should t

I've had lofty goals to increase riding while working from home - those were unrealistic with young kids - and I'm now leaning towards one 'nice' bike as an all-rounder. I likely won't be doing road-exclusive rides, so don't really need a 'road' bike, hence the sale of my Roadini. With a Roadin

Jim, The Roadini would likely clear 42mm 650b tires are the max - fenders would probably fit but would need some mods at the fork crown. Guessing Tektro brakes would work. The Redwood has more clearance for fenders and tires - 47mm 650b tires fit. I have 58m VO fenders - though those only fit w

Adam, For curiosity’s sake, I put 650b wheels in my 61cm Roadini to see what fit would be with WTB Horizons (47mm). They technically fit, however the tightest point is fork width - only ~1mm on either side of the tire. Rear would be fine. My regular setup is 700c with 38mm tires with Shimano bra
