Do you think running them tubeless would have kept you from flatting? On Tuesday, May 2, 2017 at 1:51:41 PM UTC-7, Mark Reimer wrote: > > I recently did a mixed-surface tour on Vancouver Island on my Atlantis > with 44mm Compass tires. Another guy had 42mm Barlow Pass 650B tires. We > have five

2017-05-01 Thread Ian Strader
I ride Rat Trap Pass 2.3" tires on my mtb commuter. In addition to greatly reducing vibration/shocks, the lower pressures enabled by such large volume greatly reduces the likelihood of flatting. I regularly roll over broken glass on my RTP's that would have pierced the 28mm Marathon Supremes on

Seems like Compass 700x44 would be about as big as you could get if you wanted fenders on the Appaloosa. Sweet bike, btw On Thursday, April 13, 2017 at 11:23:56 AM UTC-7, Stuart Lovinggood wrote: > > Forgot a rear clearance shot (it's pretty close) and a better shot of the > flat section of the

What bike did you have this on? I'm going to be building up a 56cm 650B Atlantis and I'm not sure what the wheel specs are since it's basically a new Riv design. On Thursday, March 9, 2017 at 10:43:17 AM UTC-8, Patch T wrote: > > Hi Bunch, > > I recently had the folks at Golden Saddle in LA

If the 56cm 650B Atlantis can take 2.2" knobbies, I wonder if you could squeeze some 2.35" slicks in there... https://www.schwalbetires.com/bike_tires/racing_tires/G-ONE_Speed On Friday, December 2, 2016 at 11:20:14 AM UTC-8, Bill Lindsay wrote: > > Today I visited RBW headquarters to order a
