I would suggest the Rene Herse 26 x1.8" tire ( I can't remember the
name-not the Rat Trap Pass, the other one).
So far that's been my favorite tire on my 26" wheeled All Rounder.

Also, if you do end up removing the BB, the drive side is reverse-threaded,
so lefty-tighty, righty-loosey.

Speaking of Homers, any idea when the next run will be? I had something in

Yes, an english thread BB lockring will fit the freewheel hub threads(not
old weird french thread obviously) and can be used for extra security
against the cog loosening up from backpedaling. I used this setup on a
fixed gear commuter for a number of years. It may not be enough
d learning.

I bought the Roadini from Eric Daume after he was done with it. I like it,
but I don't love it(other than the orange color). I've ridden it with a
variety of 28-38mm wide tires. It handles fine, and the fit is
comfortable, it's just not a lively ride. I think it's overbuilt. If you
are

Famous last words!
Nice bike!

Any idea when the last time was that Riv sold water bottles?
I would like some, but haven't seen any on the site in a couple of years.
Is it because of Grant's "you don't need water on most rides" stance?

The Velo Orange Grand Cru Drillium would look good. The chainrings wouldn't
match what you want, but 110 bcd rings are readily available.

I'm kind of in the same boat.
I need to carry 3-4 bikes, my wife's Specialized ebike with front basket
and fenders, my 64cm Clem L with a 52.5 wheelbase, front basket, rear rack
and fenders, and a older Bianchi 700c step through hybrid with fenders.
Other times I'll need to fit my 26" wheel
Mine is supposed to show up tomorrow. I'm super antsy for it!

This is the answer I got about a week ago regarding Clem delivery:
The Clems will be arriving towards the end of this month and it will take
about 4-6 weeks to get them processed and shipped out. We'll do our best to
get them out as quickly as possible.

Hello,
I'm looking for some parts for a new build.
Does anyone have a spare set of Silver brake calipers-allen, or Albatross
alloy bars?
Going out on a limb, how about a compact vintagey looking double 175mm
crankset (Velo Orange?)
How about a 175mm single crankset?
700c rear fixey wheel,
Just curious, what do you think the Cheviot will do that your Clem doesn't.
Short commutes and tooling around the neighborhood sounds perfectly
Clem-ish to me.
