Clickstick is a nice option if you want a kickstand but not often enough to
install one...

I'm going in another direction for luggage on my Stag so I need to sell
this bag. It's a ranger tan (more of a medium brown) Mini Rando bag by

I have to agree--the extended seat tube looks (to put it kindly) odd, and
limits ones ability to raise the bars. I recently bought a Rawland Stag
and find it a more agreeable design. (though not without a few issues of
it's own--hey, it's a budget frame)

I seem to recall that the rim profile was revised about the same time as
Longleaf had this run of 650b A23's made. That may be when the parallel
brake surfaces happened. I believe that's also when the updated the bead
hook to a more tubeless friendly design...

Looks like an unbranded Dimension. (not that there's anything wrong with
that!) I'm not particularly a fan of the company, but the Velo Orange

too. And heck, the Dimension (and other versions thereof) aren't bad
really. C

I have that combo (A23 rim/PariMoto tire) on my Stag and they're fine.
Mounted up snug but not unreasonably so, run true, ride nice. No drama or
worries. Steve

Mountain bikes are fun. Take a look at some of SOMA's offerings. They're
one of the least expensive brands that use frame size specific tubing in
their builds. I really like my Juice (set up as a singlespeed) and almost
bought a B-line.
The Revelate bags are designed to be minimalist and fit mo

With all due respect to those who have made this conversion and like it, I
personally feel it lowers the bottom bracket too much. It's not
unbearable, but why live with it when there are optimized purpose-built
machines available? The rambly is such a fine bike with 700c wheels I
couldn't bear to
Thanks, Bruce. I had 35's on mine for a while (no fenders) and it rode
pretty sweetly.

FWIW, SRAM makes (or made) shift cables that were a teeny bit thinner than
typical. I think they were meant for grip shifters but I should imagine
they'd work with other types too...

The DZ Nuts that she reviews favorably is my current choice as well. Works
just fine for me. (I used Assos for years but a formula change a couple of
seasons ago caused a rash reaction that put me right off the stuff. And
the saddle for a while...)

Heh, nicknames are funny. My gran'pa was called Spud. Not for any
'tater-esque qualities, but because it rhymed with his best friend's
nickname, Bud. "Here come Bud and Spud, wonder what them boys are up to?"
And so on.
