There's a new BLAHG up, and it'll be up thru the weekend. On the surface it
may seem to be adding fuel to the fire, etc., but if you wade thru the
whole thing (as I have!), I don't think you'll find too much controversy in
it.

Nobody knows nuttin' yet. Well, not exactly nobody, and "nuttin'" is an

This is true: We (here at RBW) are having a fun time with it, and are

We're thinking of stuff about price. To be CLEM-like would mean all TIG,
and that's--obviously--easier and still strong and all, but the first run
will be mostly lug + fillet. We're considering some all- tig (minus seat
lug) and may go half like that. Not sure..

The "secret" to properly snugging a threaded headset is to use two wrenches
(in the case of a non-Rinko style). The spanner kind goes on the cup flats,
and it's really helpful to use the Stein-type (now also made by Park)
that's chunky and grabs around about 230 degrees and cannot slip. You

A century of threaded headsets and 25 years of threadless suggest they both
work fine. The rest is preference and defense.

The YouTube style of riding has upped the requirements for bike and fork
testing, but the tests still aren't super reflective of how and why things
break in real life. ALL carbon frames and forks pass the tests, and yet
they continue to fail, because of the brittle nature of it and the

tire compat: it isn't designed for 3.0. just 2.8. In fact, most sub tires
are 2.6. I am pretty sure there are no trails in this part of NorCal that
require or are more fun or safer on a tire bigger than 2.3, at least at the
speeds I ride. the bike seems to fit a 3.0 fine, but t

It's like Mark said--you can wheelie, but the bike makes you have to try,
which is good. I regularly ride my Chev and 59 Clem on the skinniest,
twistiest, slightly illegal singletrack with a 180 turn and can still make
it. The whole idea is to improve the ride, to discourage endos and
wheelies, and
The point which I flopped in making is that a bike that "performs" at the
fringes can certainly handle the middle, but not necessarily the other way
around. I should have been more clear.

Some of these questions or just unclear-confusing-redundancy things, like
why both the JoeAppa and Atla will be made clearer in the catalog.

About the Banana Sack, just an opinion :
1. Sway is often an unnecessary concern. There is a difference between an
